  • Guest column: We should not accept refugees

    Updated Dec 4, 2015

    Gov. Steve Bullock says he will look favorably on Middle Eastern refugees settling in Montana unless there are concerns about them posing a threat to our safety. Other governors have also made their opinions known regarding Middle Eastern refugees in their states. The reality, though, is that state governors have little actual authority in terms of foreign refugees. This would be true even if the governors were attempting to enforce laws on immigration enacted by their legislatures. We are one nation in terms of foreign...

  • Thank you to the community

    Updated Dec 4, 2015

    I would first like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season from the Chamber Board of Directors and the Chamber staff. During this time of year, many people give unselfishly of their time to make the holidays a little more special for all of us. And we are very grateful to their efforts and time.

  • Out Our Way: Christmas 101

    Updated Dec 4, 2015

    Out our way, the signs of Christmas are all around. Aside from the traditional signs of Christmas such as the decorations going up down town, Christmas trees going up in homes, carols playing on the sound system at the Mall, and Advent programs at the Church — it is also a season of new traditions While I will admit my attempt at creating a new tradition by ringing at a Salvation Army Red Kettle with Goliath in his reindeer antlers hasn’t worked out, I am pleased to note that many others have. For example, Linda Johnson bro...

  • Pastor's Corner: The curious thing about sin

    Updated Dec 4, 2015

    Sin is one of those words that has lost its meaning in our modern culture. We think of it as the result of being tempted to eat or drink or indulge too much. We may even think of it as a violation of some moral law. Biblically, sin is more than those things. The bible sees sin as a disease that leads to the death of the human spirit. The spirit of man was designed by God as the avenue of communication between God and man. The first sin in the Garden of Eden, when Eve then Adam ate the forbidden fruit, brought sin into the...

  • George Ferguson Column: Win or lose in Fargo, the Griz' roller coaster has been a blast

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 4, 2015

    Summer is long, long gone now. But, when it comes to the Montana Grizzlies, few will ever forget Aug. 29, 2015. That's the day the Grizzlies shocked the North Dakota State Bison in the ESPN FCS Kickoff Game at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula. That day was momentous for several reasons, including the fact the Griz and Bison were playing each other in the first place. No two teams in the FCS have had more success in the last 10 years than those two, and when it comes to...

  • Blue Ponies begin with rival Malta

    Chris Peterson|Updated Dec 4, 2015

    One of the most difficult places for the Havre High girls to win a basketball game, for decades it seems, is in Malta. And that's where the Blue Ponies will open their 2015-16 season, as both the HHS girls and boys play in Malta on Saturday night. Over the years, the Ponies and M-Ettes have built a solid rivalry. Both teams have routinely been to the state tournament in their respective classes and last season Malta claimed the Class B state championship. Last season, it was...

  • Lights beat Battlin' Bears at the buzzer

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 4, 2015

    Thursday night's Frontier Conference opener at the Fortin Center in Billings wasn't the first time the Montana State University-Northern Lights have had their backs to the wall this season. No, the Lights have been in plenty of battles. But, when Rocky Mountain College's Taylor Longo had the ball with less than 15 seconds to go in overtime, and the game tied, it looked, for a moment, like the Lights might not escape Billings with a win. However, things changed in the blink of...
