Dear Editor, I am writing to thank Havre residents for sharing the true meaning of Christmas with children in need this past holiday season.

Combined with those collected from partnering countries in 2019, the ministry is now sending 10,569,405 shoebox gifts to children worldwide. Through shoeboxes — packed with fun toys, school sup...
This year, Montanans can elect a proven leader — someone with executive experience, a background of creating high-paying jobs and conservative values. This is exactly what Montana needs in our next governor, and that’s why I support Greg Gianforte for governor. A successful entrepreneur and businessman, Greg and his wife, Susan, started RightNow Technologies in a spare bedroom of their home in Bozeman. Not only did he create hundreds of high-paying jobs here in Montana, but he also helped kick-start our state’s rapidly growi...

Editor, Recently one of our members submitted a letter expressing his opinions about the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame.

First, we are excited to celebrate our 12th class of inductees into the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame in Great Falls February 8, at th...
I spent the weekend in New York City. I hadn’t been to New York in quite a while. I was performing at a theater conference and so was traveling alone, without my husband, Peter. New York intimidates me — as all big cities do. I am not a nervous traveler, generally, but I keep my possessions close at hand and my eyes open — which is why I noticed the young man in the black athletic shirt on the subway. I was taking the subway for the first time in a long time and, so far,...
To say the road has not been kind to the Montana State University-Northern Lights would be an understatement. After all, the Lights have suffered three straight road setbacks in Frontier Conference play. So, it would stand to reason that, Northern (1-5, 11-7) would be pumped to be home for the next four league games, and while that's true, the Lights know, even in the Armory Gymnasium, things won't get any easier. Tonight, Northern hosts No. 9 Carroll College for the second...
