Ballots are being mailed out today in the only contested Havre City Council election in this part of Montana, in Havre's Ward 4. In that nonpartisan race, Derek Eldridge is challenging incumbent Erik Meis in his bid to retain the seat. Meis was appointed to City Council in December of last year, taking the seat after Andrew Brekke resigned after moving out of Ward 4. In September, the City Council passed a resolution canceling the Nov. 5 general election this year for the...
From a career in law enforcement to becoming a full time artist, Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation resident Theodore Koop said his love for art has always been a constant throughout his life. Koop, this month's featured artist at Artitudes Gallery in The Atrium, said his love for art really blossomed when he was a freshman in high school. His art teacher and friend, Tom Marinkovich, played a large role in his artistic pursuits. He said his family is also artistic, adding he...
Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series looking at repeat offenders arrested in connection with drug and alcohol use. Drug and alcohol abuse has been a large issue in the area for a very long time. More than 65 percent of the people law enforcement officers arrest are reoffenders and more than 90 percent of the crimes in the area involving drugs and alcohol, officials report. This is a large drain on resources and tax dollars, local law enforcement...

The schools participate and support this endeavor and have done so for many years,” Havre Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Craig Muller said. “Supporting a drug-free lifestyle and the benefits of being drug free and sharing meaningful strategies with our students is always encouraged, Red Ribbo...
Language is both a science and a mystery. I am not here today to bring some kind of resolution to the issue, but I do want to add my perspective to the mix. Plenty of studies have been published to tell us that language is both inherited and learned. Basically the findings boil down to this: 1) Human brains are genetically predisposed to language and human bodies are genetically influenced through traits like voice tone and how our bone and muscle structure create...

Rematch Saturday in the Frontier Conference certainly includes a big one for the Montana State University-Northern Lights. After all, Northern began Frontier Conference play with a wild shootout at Rocky Mountain College and, now, the two teams are set to do it again. Saturday afternoon, Northern (0-5, 1-5) and Rocky (1-4, 2-4) will meet inside Blue Pony Stadium, in a game that marks the halfway point of the 2019 Frontier season. And, at least after Rocky's 53-34 win over the...
The Frontier Conference had its annual bye week last week, though many teams kept on playing. Not the Montana State University-Northern Skylights, though. Instead, they used the bye to rest, get healthy, practice and allow head coach Jerry Wagner to go and recruit, which he did, with the announcement of the signing of several Montana standouts. Now, however, that's all over, and the Skylights and the rest of the Frontier will make their big push toward the home stretch of the...
Longtime Montana State University-Northern women's basketball coach Chris Mouat says that, a team is never quite ready for the first game of the season. Ready or not, however, here the Skylights come. Northern will make its 2019-2020 season debut Sunday afternoon when the Skylights host CIS Canada West power Mount Royal University. "It's time," Mouat said. "You never feel like you're completely ready. But it's time for us to go out and play. It's time to see where we're at....
The Havre High football team's regular season is starting to wind down. With two more games left, the Blue Ponies are aiming for a postseason berth. Havre's road to the postseason will not come easily, though, especially since the first obstacle in the way is the Billings Central Rams. The Ponies have one objective: win. When it comes to tonight's away game against the Rams at Herb Klindt Field, Havre plans to upset Billings Central and earn a spot in the playoffs. Havre High...

Home games for the Blue Pony spikers are always a sight to see and the girls will look to have an advantage in the Northeast A with another win over the...
Last week, the Montana State Bobcats were the latest Big Sky Conference power to lose to the Sacramento State Hornets. Now, it's the Montana Grizzlies' turn. And yet, there's one slight difference between Montana's challenge of stopping the surging Hornets, and the one the Cats faced last week in Bozeman - and that's the Griz have to do on what has already been billed as the biggest home game in Sacramento State history. That's right. Saturday night, when the fifth-ranked...
The Biblical model for leadership is shaky at best. Someone sent me an internet meme that went like this: Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stutt…ered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, Lazarus was dead … . God doesn’t call qualified leaders, but God qualifies the called. I recently attended a workshop for p...
Out our way, the scenery can be incredible. I have mentioned the pity I feel for folks who don't see it even when it's all around them. Many of us recall that ridiculous tourism slogan Helena tried a few years ago: "There's Nothing Here," It was meant to make people aware that the "nothing" of the Big Open is the everything of the region. But like so many tourists zooming down the highway intent on getting to the other side of the Divide where the tourists and non-Montanans...

Eighteen shooters participated in the afternoon event with six matches, all five shots each, at various distances and positions. Shooting conditions were excellent with temperatures in high 40s with a very light breeze part of the afternoon. Sounds early for a Christmas shoot, but we keep moving it up to find some decent weather to shoot in, since it looks like...
Fall is fast approaching us; we feel it in the air. Its signs are all around us, too, we see them everywhere! Leaves are turning to orange and gold, they're such a lovely sight. They don't stay long as orange and gold, they change fast overnight. Autumn has many clear crisp days, bright colored foliage, too. We're game to tackle outdoor jobs, it's something we all do. Before the winter settles in, we'll work and spread good cheer, with willingness we'll work 'til done, we do t...
