  • Feeding on Faith: Soup kitchen stories

    Paul Dragu|Updated Oct 7, 2016

    Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen serves more than food. "It's just a place where you get to be fed in the body, and you get to be fed in the soul," the Rev. Daniel Wathen said. "Sometimes you just need to bring that healing in, whichever it is. It's pretty cool." Wathen, a board member of the local soup kitchen for the last two years, told the story of a man who came up to him Monday during lunch. "One of the guys asked - he said, 'Can I talk to you for a minute?' So I went outside...

    Paul Dragu|Updated Oct 7, 2016

    Experts say there's a shortage of child care providers in Montana, Havre included, and the consequences can be serious and long lasting.

    Updated Oct 7, 2016

  • Out Our Way: The Gospel Acording to Goliath: 'Going into the thorn bushes'

    Updated Oct 7, 2016

    Mark 8:31-33 Out our way, not all trails are easy and not all places smooth and level. Sometimes it's just downright unpleasant! I recall working cows that had managed to get in some sort of scraggly, thorny trees. Someone said they were hawthorns but I don't know; I just know they had scraggly thorns that tore at my skin and clothing. Fortunately, I had leather chaps and some tough hide-covered gloves when I went in after a couple of pairs that had taken up residence in...

  • Hello God, It's me, Mara - Follow Me

    Updated Oct 7, 2016

    You know, Lord, chatting with friends can be rather interesting. J. E. shared about her dad’s horses, mentioning that they, among other animals are herd animals. One horse they had was a jumper and another horse was a fence crawler, no fence could stop either of those rascals — so her dad chained them together, hoping that would help. Then there was a bit of commotion, a quick glance out the window suggested trouble! Checking it out, the “crawler” had succeeded in getting under the fence but the “jumper” was immovable....

  • Cats, Griz play at home

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 7, 2016

    The Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats were on opposite ends of the spectrum last weekend, and they may be again Saturday. For the Bobcats (2-3, 0-2), a home game against struggling, but powerful Northern Arizona might be just what the doctor ordered. But after what happened to MSU in Sacramento last Saturday, things could go the other way, too. Montana State returns to Bobcat Stadium for a showdown with the lumberjacks Saturday night, and fresh off one of its most...

The win was the first...

  • Skylights aim to stay perfect at home

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 7, 2016

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights found the magic they were looking for on the road when they beat the nationally ranked Lewis-Clark State Warriors last Saturday in Lewiston, Idaho. That win earned Northern a crucial road split, and now, with four of their last six matches of the Frontier Conference's regular season to be played at home, the Skylights are looking to double down. MSU-N (3-3, 4-11), looks to keep the momentum it built last Saturday going when the...

  • Friday Night Lights: Flammond no longer a one-way guy

    Chris Peterson|Updated Oct 7, 2016

    No matter what sport, or what level, good athletic programs all have one thing in common: They can development talent.

Mostly, he played on one side of the ball and ended up being effective as a linebacker, notching 49 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks. He also had...
