Montana State University-Northern now has another accolade to boast about after a report by Zippia named Northern the top school in the state for economic mobility and 15th in the country. Zippia obtained its data from Opportunity Insights, which is a non-profit organization located at Harvard University. The study focused on a college or university's students who started at the bottom 20 percent of income distribution and have now reached the top 20 percent. "Being...

I don’t know what to call the last seven days, but they just might be the death of me. Technically, I can claim vacation for Monday through today, but applying the word vacation to these days is not just a stretch of the imagination, it’s flat out wrong. Vacation means travel. The closest I’ve come to that is driving to another side of town. Twice. But it’s not one of those dubiously named “stay-cations,” either, because, whether your “cation” is “stay” or “vay,” it means some level of recreating is being done. That hasn’t be...
Editor, The family would like to take this time to thank Dr. Varghese Parambi of Great Falls, Dr. Mohammed Kanaan of the Sletten Cancer Center in Havre and Tonya Paulsen, the director of the Dialysis Unit at Northern Montana Hospital in Havre for their care of our brother Robert for the past 12 months. Thank you to the Rocky Boy Health Board Transportation Department for providing our brother rides to and from his appointments. Thank you to Merle Tendoy, Alvin Windy Boy Sr., Jonathan and Sam Windy Boy for their cultural...
Ballot Initiative 185 is a bad deal for Montana that voters should reject. The winners of this bad deal would be the hospital corporations and their wealthy executives. The losers would be the rest of us — veterans, the middle-class, tobacco consumers and most of all, people who want to quit smoking. It’s a costly idea with almost no upside. Like most bad deals, you have to read the fine print to understand the Initiative doesn’t deliver on its promises. For example, read the fine print about big promises to veterans. The p...
I was sold on voting yes I 185 early on just to prevent 100,000 Montanans from losing their health care coverage. But I was significantly more convinced when I recently was shown a Juul, a small little nicotine-ingesting gadget that looks like a USB thumb drive, which would be easily disguised on any computer desk. Tobacco companies have engaged their superior marketing techniques to address the decline in cigarette use and find a way to appeal to youth. And, I’m sad to say, they’ve succeeded. As a father of five, three of wh...
Havre Daily News staff Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation has set a full week of activities during Red Ribbon Week to promote drug-free living. A release from Rocky Boy said the Chippewa Cree Business Committee issued a proclamation declaring the week Red Ribbon Week on the reservation, with the theme “Life is a Journey Travel Drug Free” and inviting all community members and departments to participate. Monday at rocky Boy is Be Red-Y to Live a Drug Free Life day, with people invited to wear red ribbons with traditional dress. Ro...
by Emily Mayer The news of the Border Saloon raid, the upcoming election and Spanish flu epidemic continued, as did the local newspapers making their political viewpoints known. Keep in mind Havre had three newspapers 100 years ago — The Havre Plaindealer, The Havre Daily Promoter and the Hill County Democrat. Each was making its alliances known as well as taking snipes at each other. With today’s political climate being what it is, and so many people today saying reporters should be reporting the news “just like it used to b...
The Montana State Bobcats needed a win over the University of Idaho for a myriad of reasons. First, it kept the Cats (2-1, 4-2) not only firmly entrenched in the hunt for the FCS playoffs, but also within shouting distance of the race for the Big Sky Conference championship. Perhaps more importantly, though, the Cats needed to beat the Vandals, which they did 24-23 last Saturday in Bozeman, because their next two games are going to be two in which the Cats will be decided...
Earlier this week, the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team got some exciting news, as the Lights wet pegged to win the Cascade Conference championship. The league released its first-ever Cascade Preseason Coaches Poll on Tuesday, and the Lights stood atop that poll. And when the first NAIA Coaches Poll comes out early next week, the Lights are likely to be ranked pretty high in that poll as well, just ahead of their season-debut against Eastern Oregon. Polls,...
Outside of a loss to Great Falls High, the Havre High volleyball team hasn't been tested often over the last month, with sweeps in seven of its last eight matches. Yet Thursday night, inside the HHS gymnasium, the Blue Ponies got a stern test from Livingston, which took the Ponies to five sets in a Central A conference matchup, before Havre ultimately prevailed, winning by the scores of 25-22, 23-25, 24-26, 25-21 and 15-7. The victory was the eighth in nine matches for HHS,...
With how good the Frontier Conference is right now, it seems like every single week, the Montana State University-Northern Lights are facing a team on a hot streak - a team climbing the national rankings. Last week, it was a trip to Rocky Mountain College, just seven days after the Battlin' Bears shocked Southern Oregon. Now, the Lights (0-6, 1-6) come back home and have to square off against not just one of the hottest teams in the Frontier, but perhaps one of the hottest in...
Over the years, there have been some great high school football games between Havre and Miles City, and tonight the Blue Ponies and the Cowboys will have a chance to play another. In the last two decades, Havre and Miles City have met numerous times for big games. There was the state championship back in 1994 and also the state semifinals in both 2002 and 2003, not to mention two more playoff games in 2013 and 2014. Yet this time around, the stakes won't be nearly as high....
When it comes to football, one aspect of the game that is often underrated is the kicking game and even though it's often referred to as one third of the game, its importance can be overlooked. Well, one person who understands just how important the kicking game can be, is Sam Tapia, who punts and kicks for the Montana State University-Northern football team. "People always talk about how it's a third of the game," Tapia said. "But sometimes it doesn't get the attention that...
You know, Lord, we live in an incredible world. Depending on where one lives, some folks get to view the majesty of mountain peaks, it takes our breath away. Looking out into space is humbling — to us with our small minds, it seems it could go on forever. We don’t even have enough words to describe all the beautiful, magnificent and awe-inspiring wonders of the universe. Just looking at the variety, the order, the symmetry and all the unexpectedness, it all testifies, that You, Lord, are the Genius behind it all. Can we even...
When last Luther left us, dear Christian reader, he told of the Leipzig Debate of 1519. There, he spoke in more definite terms with regard to the authority of the Roman pontiff — or the lack thereof, as the case had it. Though not by name, Luther ended this brief history of the Reformation with reference to a 1520 papal bull “Exsurge Domine,” writing “the pope condemned me unheard and raged with his bulls.” Bulls, again, were papal decrees. This one was issued one year after the Leipzig debate, June 15, 1520. However,...
Out our way, many ranchers have more than one pasture to prevent over grazing. We move the herd from the pasture they have been grazing all summer long down the valley to the winter pasture where the grass has had a chance to recover from last year’s grazing. In this way, summer and winter, the cattle can thrive. However, cattle aren’t the brightest critters in the universe and making the move can sometimes be quite a job. Charlie and I were sent out in late fall a few years ago to move the herd from the summer to the winter...

There is something special about playing football at Havre High and more than that, there is something special about playing on Friday nights, under the lights, at Blue Pony Stadium. For those who have experienced it, there is little question, that the atmosphere inside Blue Pony Stadium is second to none, at least when it comes to high school football in Montana, and for six Havre football players, the final chance to step onto the field as a player, comes tonight against...
