  • Havre Senate Candidates left out some background

    Updated Oct 28, 2017

    Staff and wire report A U.S. Senate candidate left out some of his political background - and he and his wife left out some other details of their background - during an interview with the Havre Daily News Oct. 9.

  • George Ferguson Column: Montana factor a must as Northern begins the search for its next head coach

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    The Montana State University-Northern Lights have three games left this season, including Saturday’s home tilt against Carroll College. And for the Lights’ players and coaches, that’s where the focus is. There is no question, the search is fully on for Northern’s next head coach following Aaron Christensen’s resignation Wednesday, and in college football, the clock is always ticking. College football is a year-round sport, with the ever-vital recruiting, winter condition...

  • MSU-N Game Day Feature: Out of the darkness, comes the light

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    He plays for a team nicknamed the Lights. But in four seasons at Montana State University-Northern playing football, Kagen Khameneh hasn't seen the brightest of times. In fact, he's been through some of Northern's darkest days. And in those dark times, Khameneh has watched many of his former teammates give up on the Lights, give up on football and essentially disappear. He's also played through not one, not two, not even three, but four coaching changes at MSU-N. So, if...

  • Budget cuts will devastate Indian Country

    Updated Oct 27, 2017

    As Montanans, American Indians, and members of the Montana Legislature, we share the frustration of people all across Montana. As the potentially devastating effects of these cuts have become clear over the past few weeks, Montana’s elected leaders must continue working to ensure that critical government services remain available and effective, eliminate unnecessary spending, and discuss ways to increase revenue. We stand ready to join our colleagues from both parties to do our job. However, some of our colleagues in the R...

  • View from the North 40: I'm definitely not sugar-coating this one

    Pam Burke|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    Sugar is evil, the article said. Give up the nectar of Satan, the research told me. Feel like you have an alert, newly minted brain, the health food zealots said. What fresh level of hell is this, my body is asking. I’m old enough to be born in the day when no advertising bragged that a product contained all-natural sugar because everything had sugar, or you added sugar. Sugar advertisements targeted children, moms wanted to have those toothsome, smiling, singing children f...

  • Hi-Line Living: If the levee breaks

    Paul Dragu|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inspections have judged the Milk River Levee unacceptable, a status that means the chance of flood in areas it's meant to protect is elevated and many could be forced to buy expensive flood insurance policies. The Havre-Milk River Flood Protection Project was completed in 1957 after major floods including in 1938 and 1952 devastated the region. No floods of those proportions have hit the city since. The levee system comprises the city-operated...

  • Hello God. It's me, Mara

    Updated Oct 27, 2017

    You know, Lord, we all need encouragers on a so-so day, or when we’re discouraged. That occasionally happens to all of us, no matter who we are. A friend called her encouragers, “balcony people,” like a cloud of witnesses cheering us on, but balcony people are here on earth with us. Sometimes we need them; sometimes they need us to encourage or to cheer them on. “G.G” told about a community supper she attended. She eyed the dessert table; sure enough — pumpkin pie! She took a piece before it all vanished. Yum! She thought...

  • Finishing Well: Leaving an inheritance

    Updated Oct 27, 2017

    Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous. Finances are a large part of people’s concerns as they age. A legitimate concern is will I have enough to make it to the finish line or will I outlive my money? Then we have the concerns of paying for healthcare at the end of our lives. If we can successfully manage our money and avoid some major financial disasters then we have the issue of leaving an inheritance for our kids and grand...

  • Out Our Way: Along the Covenant Trail with Goliath

    Updated Oct 27, 2017

    Out our way, there are some things that are just not going to work no matter how badly we want them to. A Shetland pony is not going to be a good roping horse and even those cute miniature horses are not really good indoor house pets. There are just some things we aren't cut out for. In the story of Samuel and the three kings of of Israel - Saul, David, and Solomon - we are reminded that even the best of us cannot replace God, and as has been noted by far wiser folk than I,...

  • Grizzlies, Bobcats reaching crunch time

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    It's the last Saturday in October, and for the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats, that means the clock is ticking. Both the No. 24 Griz (5-2, 3-1) and the Bobcats (3-4, 3-2) have just three games each until they meet in the annual Brawl of the Wild Nov. 19. But right now, neither team is thinking about the other.

  • Skylights return to the floor against the Blue Hawks

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    The season did not start the way the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team had envisioned, as the Skylights dropped their season and home opener to the University of Lethbridge last Saturday night. The good news is the No. 21 Skylights (0-1) have a chance to quickly do something about it. Following the overtime loss to the Pronghorns, Northern returns to the Armory Gymnasium tonight to face off against an old NAIA foe – the Dickinson State Blue Hawks. T...

  • Lights ready to just play football

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 27, 2017

    Jake Eldridge has been here before. Here is getting the Montana State University-Northern Lights ready for a football game after a sudden change at the top of Northern's coaching tree. For the second time in his tenure at Northern, Eldridge is now the interim head coach of the Lights, following Aaron Christensen's resignation on Wednesday.
