He said he wanted to do...

Me on Wednesday: I should never, ever, ever listen to myself when I have an idea. Ever. I know this, and yet, I fall for it over and over, again. Repeatedly. Fair enough, I really do know better than to listen to myself. Or I should know that. After all the injuries — physical, mental and emotional. All the wrong roads followed, both actual and metaphorical. All the pride swallowed, the dignity lost, the ego trammeled. After all these years, I still get pulled in by myself s...
Editor, As president of the Friends of Music Booster Club for the music department of Havre Public Schools, I had the absolute pleasure to work with Havre Superintendent Craig Mueller. Not only did he support the arts within the school district, but he personally put himself out in front of the School Board and the entire surrounding community to bring attention to these unbelievably talented groups of kids. When we as parents thought we were defeated, he stepped in and made sure the Havre High Marching Band went to...
As medical students wanting to practice medicine in Montana, it is chilling to see LR-131 on our ballot. This initiative would put medical workers at risk when they provide compassionate care for infants who are born too early to survive or have life-limiting birth defects. We are likely to second-guess our intention to practice medicine in Montana if we can be criminalized and prosecuted for providing medical care that is within the scope of our practice, and the best possible care for our patients’ needs. Parents e...
I have loved the state of Montana since I moved here in the fall of 1990. Nothing has ever made me wonder if I should move until now. I have had three children born in Havre and raised them all here. I am the only useful parent my children have. I’m still very active in their lives. There is a referendum proposed in the upcoming Montana election that would threaten my freedom to provide health care to Havre and the surrounding communities. And it threatens my freedom to be an important part of my children’s lives. You may won...
As the campaign season winds down and we cast our ballots, I want to thank the residents of House District 28 for the kindness they have shown me over the past several months as I have listened to their hopes and ideas for a better Montana. It’s energizing and hopeful discussing the future of our state as I’ve taken my campaign to the porches, driveways, garages and lawns of folks in and around Havre. If there’s one resounding, consistent message I’ve heard over and over again from people of every political persuas...
America, and Montanans in particular, are blessed to stand on the shoulders of giants. Fortunately for us, wise and brave leaders have shown us the way forward to fulfill the idea and ideals of America. While our country has fallen short of those lofty goals from time to time, those aims are true and worthy of pursuit. And America soldiers on. As a young girl, I thrilled to the courage and wisdom of American leaders, long dead, whose thoughts and actions provided a road map to America, the beacon of hope to our world. I...
Alvin John Gatzemeier, age 70, died October 29th, 2022, after a hard-fought battle against cancer. He died in his home in Lakeside, Montana, surrounded by family. He was born May 7th, 1952 in Havre, Montana, to Richard and Florence (Klindworth) Gatzemeier. He was preceded in death by his younger sister, Susan, in 1971 and later his parents. Alvin is survived by his wife, Marilyn (Lynn) Gatzemeier; daughter, Kallie Gatzemeier; son-in-law, Justin Pearson; granddaughter, Dillon... Full story
Carolyn "Carlie" Kuhr Rhodes was born on July 4, 1921, in Havre, MT, a few minutes after her twin sister, Kathlyn, arrived. The fireworks, of course, were for them, and she always thought of herself as a "we." Her parents, Marian Broadwater Kuhr and Max Paul Kuhr, were second-generation of families who had arrived in Montana as early settlers. Carolyn was always proud of her heritage. The twins and their brothers Max, Paul, and John grew up in a household that honored God, cou... Full story

Early Thursday night at Armory Gymnasium, it looked like the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team was in for a tough night. The Lights' opponent, Northwest Indian College, played tough in the first half and even had the lead at one point. While the Lights got on a roll and pulled away for a 100-45 win in the second half, MSU-N head coach Shawn Huse believes the Eagles made the Lights work for it. "I'll give credit to NWIC. They came in here and they played...
The Montana State University-Northern football team has been away from the friendly confines of Tilleman Field for too long. Over the past three weeks, the Lights have either been on their bye or playing a game on the road. Now, the Lights are back on the Hi-Line this Saturday with a game against Rocky Mountain College. This will be a rematch for the Lights since they played the Battlin' Bears back in Billings on Sept. 24. The Bears got the better of the Lights with a 56-0 vic...

This Saturday, the Big Sandy Pioneers will continue their quest for a state title with a game at home against Custer-Hysham-Melstone. The Pioneers have been one of the best teams in six-man football this season with a 9-0 record in...
It's going to be a busy weekend away from home for several Montana University-Northern sports teams. That's because, right now, almost every sport Northern offers is competing. While winter sports are just beginning, Northern's fall sports are winding down, and that includes the Skylight's volleyball season. This weekend marks the end of the Frontier Conference' regular season, and Northern will close out league play at Montana Tech tonight in Butte, followed by a visit to...
Expectations can fool us all sometimes. Coaches, players, pundits, fans, we all get it wrong, probably more often than we get it right. Take the Montana State Bobcats for example. Would anyone really expect the Cats to be the third-ranked team in the FCS at the start of November after a run to the FCS championship game just one year earlier? Honestly, to expect that the Cats might be a better football team in 2022 than they were in 2021 would have been pretty unreasonable to...
