Press release With the busy holiday season approaching, the American Red Cross encourages donors to give blood now to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients this winter. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, many regular donors delay giving due to holiday activities and travel. This often decreases the amount of donated blood available for patients. More donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help stock the shelves for patients like Emily Bratton. After the birth of her first child, she r...

Editor, I’ve known Lindsey Ratliff for a few years, being a student at Havre High. It’s not everyday you get to work with an educator who works so well with students, and has tangible passion for the subjects she teaches. When I went with the CloseUp program to Washington, D.C., for the inauguration early this year, she was the coordinator who worked long hours with the other students and I to fundraise, get the word out and have the best experience possible. Now, Mrs. Ratliff is running for City Council, and I can say wit...
Editor, As commissioner of securities and insurance, the Montana state auditor helps supervise a regulatory system that is working hard to prevent Montana’s businesses from raising equity financing from the people. By shutting down business fundraising, the people are forced to get toxic loans from the Wall Street banking cartel. This is Montana’s No. 1 economic problem. The Auditor’s office and the feds have made raising equity so complicated that only 31 companies statewide have applied for equity with the Audit...
Dear Montana Head Start Programs: I am pleased to recognize October 2017 as “Head Start Awareness Month” in the state of Montana.

Head Start not only provides preschool for 3-5 year old children, they also prepare families for newborns and help those just beginning their journey as parents to access the resources needed to assis...

The Montana State University-Northern football team was a long shot to win at Montana Tech this past weekend, but it was hard to foresee the offensive display put on by the Orediggers.

When you graduate what the Montana State University-Northern Skylights did last spring, and when you assemble a very new team, there's bound to be some bumps in the road along the way. And the Skylights hit their first bump, in their first game of the season. On Saturday night, Northern opened the 2017-18 season with a tough loss, to a tough University of Lethbridge Pronghorn squad, 54-53 in overtime. Northern had a good look at a game-winning shot as time expired in the...
The Havre High football team was hoping to end its season on a high note Friday in Miles City, but instead the Blue Ponies fell victim to the hottest team in the Eastern A. Havre and Miles City, two long-time rivals who have played numerous times in the playoffs over the years, met again in Miles City, but this time it was a one-sided affair as the Cowboys stomped the Blue Ponies 57-13. “It's hard to say that I am happy,” HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. “But I was pleas...

Kadia Miller was the top individual performer for HHS earning All-State honors in Class A for Havre, which had two runners finish in the top 20. Beatrix...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights didn't show any signs of rust, even after having not played since an Oct. 6 win over UM-Western. Unfortunately, the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears weren't rusty either. Northern and Rocky returned from the annual Frontier Conference bye week, with a match inside the Armory Gymnasium Friday night. And while the Skylights came out swinging, they were just no match for the 21st-ranked Bears. Rocky swept Northern by scores of...
Before the Montana State University-Northern Lights' season debut, longtime MSU-N head basketball coach Shawn Huse knew a couple of things. One, the Lights were playing an unusually dangerous Mount Royal squad to open the season. And two, his Lights are going to be a very good 3-point shooting team. Both of those thoughts came to fruition Saturday afternoon in the Lights' 95-80 season-opening win over the Cougars inside the Armory Gymnasium. Mount Royal played the Lights...
