    Alex Ross|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    Montana State University-Northern's biofuels research programs will be awarded $800,000 from the state. The money will come from $15 million set aside by lawmakers in the 2015 legislative session to fund state university research projects. Gov. Steve Bullock announced the grant for Northern during a visit to the campus's advanced fuels research center Wednesday, where he spoke before taking a tour of some of the building's labs. He was joined by Northern Chancellor Greg...

  • Democrats push for success in 2016

    Alex Ross|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    With optimism and a fierce sense of urgency about making gains in the upcoming elections, Hill County Democrats gathered at the Eagles Club Wednesday night for the annual Pasma-Peck dinner, headlined by Gov. Steve Bullock. Named after legendary Havre Democratic political organizer Jim Pasma and state Rep. Ray Peck, the dinner serves as a major fundraiser and a chance to rally the party faithful. "If we don't get Steve Bullock re-elected and we don't get more Democrats in the L...

  • Tenants, advocates, governor celebrate 'new' Hillview

    John Kelleher|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    Lindsey Haney has lived in several subsidized apartment complexes in her life. "I've always been ashamed to say I lived there," she told a crowd Wednesday at Hillview Apartments in Havre. But in 2014, she moved into Hillview just as a massive renovation project was beginning. People were temporarily moved out of their apartments as massive renovations were made, the first major improvement in 43 years. The buildings were painted. The grounds were refurbished. New rules were...

  • Looking out my back door: When you wish upon a star

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    I hope your week has been good. I hope your week has not been like everyone else’s. The only thing I can attribute it to is astrology. I’m sure you must believe in astrology just as religiously as I do. I’m sure the Moon is in Mar’s pocket, Venus is flirting with Jupiter, Pluto is in the 29th house of Disney and the Sun has measles spots. None of the planets are tending to business. One of my close friends had three deaths in her family this week. Another friend had stomach...

  • Frontier Notebook: Frontier is still up for grabs

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    After a week off, the Frontier Conference football season will resume in earnest this weekend. And there’s a lot of questions still to be answered. In fact, it’s almost like the season hasn’t started yet, because no one has really taken control of the Frontier title chase as of yet. For a brief moment, it looked like Carroll College had seized command when the Fighting Saints beat Southern Oregon to open the season last month in Helena. But Montana Tech erased that control whe...

  • Nationals play two against Bulls

    Chris Peterson|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    Through five games, the Glacier Nationals of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League have yet to find the winner's circle. Yet, that is something they hope to change this weekend against the Billings Bulls. The Nationals, who lost in their last outing to Great Falls by the score of 5-1 last Friday in Havre, will travel to Sidney this weekend for back-to-back games against the Bulls Friday and Saturday night. The Bulls, who are normally one of the powers in the Frontier...

  • That's One: Skylights win opener

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    Just about everything was new for the Montana State University-Skylights in their season-opening basketball game Wednesday night at the Armory Gymnasium. New players, new team, new rules and even a new opponent. But, after four quarters, instead of two halves (one of the new rules in women’s college basketball this season), the final result was anything but new. The Skylights opened their season, and the 2015 Duck Inn Classic with a 72-31 win over Concordia-Alberta W...

  • Pony harriers in action today at Helena Invite

    Chris Peterson|Updated Oct 8, 2015

    It seems like just yesterday that the Havre High cross country teams were running their first race, but, already, the Central A divisional meet is little more than a week away. Before both Blue Pony teams travel to Browning for divisionals next Saturday, though, they will head to Helena today where they will compete in the annual preview meet at Bill Roberts Golf Course. One thing that is different about the preview meet is that unlike in years past, Helena will not be...
