    Updated Aug 6, 2016

    STEVE PEOPLES JILL COLVIN Associated Press GREEN BAY, Wis. — In an effort to repair some of the damage he had inflicted on his presidential campaign, Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan to end a four-day standoff that exposed the deeps chasms in the Republican Party over his candidacy.

  • Daines, Zinke respond to worries about Trump

    Alex Ross|Updated Aug 6, 2016

    As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump deals with the fallout from a series of bad headlines and controversial statements, both Republicans in Montana's congressional delegation, who have endorsed the billionaire, sought to disavow his statements without condemning the nominee himself. Both Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., were in Havre this week and both commented on the issue. When Daines came to Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation to meet...

  • 2016 Frontier Football Preview: Offensive Lineman

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 5, 2016

    If there's one position that's unsung in college football, it's the offensive line. No box scores, no stats, rarely a name in the paper or on the news. Yet, the linemen are usually the difference between a strong offense and a weak one. With so many teams in the Frontier Conference aspiring to have great offenses this fall, and with so many good defenses out there, Frontier teams are banking on a strong offensive line to make them go. That's the case at Montana State...

  • View from the North 40: The attraction is not the water

    Updated Aug 5, 2016

    The Universe has been conspiring this summer to make me long for one of the few things I miss about living in the mountains of western Montana: Clear water. Lots and lots of clear, cold water. It gathers in lakes, vast and small, roils and surges in wide rivers, tumbles down mountainside creeks, trickles up through fresh springs. It pours cool and remarkably tasteless from the tap and leaves not a single stain on the counter top or the laundry. I didn’t appreciate it enough, until I lived where bodies of water were scarce a...

  • Pastor's Corner: The power of God through his Word

    Updated Aug 5, 2016

    While attending a funeral of a friend who had passed away, the pastor proclaimed an excellent message of eternal hope, peace and comfort for the deceased. Speaking to the family members and friends of the comfort they can have now if they trust in Jesus Christ along with the assurance of seeing their lost loved one again almost sounds like a pipe dream that is too good to be true. How can this minister speak of what is beyond the grave, of eternal assurances describing a place where there is no more pain, tears, sorrow or...

    Updated Aug 5, 2016

    Mark 6:45-52 By this time those of you who have followed the "Goliath Chronicles" know of his greatest fear: that culvert on the nature trail in Beaver Creek. No matter how many times I have forced Goliath to cross it - allowed him to sniff it and led him over it - he is always terrified of it the next time we have to cross it. As a friend of mine has noted, poor old "Doc" has a brain the size of an orange, and regardless of how many ties I have shown him there is nothing to f...
