    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 2, 2019

  • Lights send three grapplers into NAIA semifinals

    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 1, 2019

    There were some tough moments on the first day of the 2019 NAIA national wrestling champions for the Montana State University-Northern Lights. But, as Friday night came to a close, the Lights had plenty of highlights too. Northern sits well back in the team title chase after day one in Des Moines, Iowa, with 32 points, and in 11th place, but, the Lights have three wrestlers still competing for national championships. On Friday, 157-pounder Brandon Weber won three times,...

  • Pastors Corner - Being both a lion and a lamb

    Updated Mar 1, 2019

    March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. I learned this bit of wisdom when I was in early grade school, coloring a calendar for the transitional month copied onto a piece of green paper. My teacher explained how this meant that typically at the beginning, the month would be full of blustery wind like a lion’s roar. By its end, it would be gently peaceful, like a lamb lying down in a now-green meadow as spring had officially begun. Yet, I would soon wonder how true it was, growing up in the Northwest. More often t...

  • OUT OUR WAY:  The Wrong Trail

    Updated Mar 1, 2019

    Out our way, Charlie trusts me to ride drag when we are pushing the herd. It is not only because he can ride flank and point far better than I, but because he knows I have learned to be patient. As you may recall, on my first roundup in Wyoming, one the folks got impatient and tried to move the herd faster by driving up in his pickup and laying on the horn. It was my first roundup and also my first stampede — because these cow were a bit rangey after the long summer and spooked. It took us hours to get them all rounded up aga...

  • Grief Poem - Most Every Day There's Clouds

    Updated Mar 1, 2019

    We look at clouds most every day; we may see “angel hair.” Clouds block the sun; they might bring rain or snow just everywhere. Our “mate” is there, they see both sides, mirage may be a “wall.” We look around and watch clouds move; but don’t know clouds at all. We see a shape or shadow form in colors of blue-gray. So many things we might have done but clouds got in the way. We look at clouds most any day; they’re big or pretty small. But still somehow, we’re in the dark; we don’t know clouds at all. What do “they” see that we...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Mar 1, 2019

    You know, Lord, many towns have a center where kids of all ages can go after school to do a multitude of activities, including homework. They’re there until someone picks them up to go home. While at these centers, paid staff and volunteers get to interact with kids in a half-dozen or so places where they can play, work on computers, do arts and crafts, sit and read, or do homework. Interest and attention span is different for each child. Little “Chloe’s” eyes sparkle as she does her math while little “Martin” has a very...

  • View from the North 40: Making winter not so bad - Psyche!

    Pam Burke|Updated Mar 1, 2019

    Psychologists have long lists of terms for what they — and we, the flawed masses — call coping or self-defense mechanisms because, in the end, we all have to do what we can to get through to happier, or less suckier, days. Like spring. I’m not a big fan of winter. Even when I used to ski, it was just something I did because I was surrounded by both snow and mountains. Ice fishing wasn’t my thing, but to be fair, fishing any time of year isn’t my thing. Snowshoeing and cross...

  • BEAR BLITZ

    Chris Peterson|Updated Mar 1, 2019

    GREAT FALLS - For part of the first half, it seemed that the Ekalaka Bulldogs would be able to hang with the Box Elder Bears. But after constant pressure from Box Elder and a 12-0 run in the second quarter, it was clear that the Bears were in a class by themselves Thursday night as they rolled Ekalaka, 71-39, on their way to the Class C semifinals thanks to the convincing win inside the Four Seasons Arena. "I thought we did a lot better job with defense and rebounding," Box...

  • Lights visit Warriors with title game berth on the line

    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 1, 2019

    If Wednesday night's win over the University of Providence was the last game the Montana State University-Northern Lights will play in the Armory Gymnasium, they sure went out with a bang. But as exciting as the 101-93 victory over the Argos was, the win ensured the Lights also got to play at least one more game. And that game comes Saturday night when Northern (18-13) travels to Lewiston, Idaho, to face the No. 13 Lewis-Clark State Warriors in the Frontier Conference...
