The Armory Gymnasium has been a friendly place to the Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team as of late.

I also wonder if followers of Christ have made some resolutions with regards to godliness training? The Apostle Paul makes an interesting statement in his letter to his young pastor protege, Timothy.

Charlie taught me that when first approaching a herd of cattle that have been out on their own for a time, one goes slow and easy. “Let them see you and get used to you before you try to herd them,” was his counsel. Range cattle — especially those that have not had to deal with people for a long time, can be a bit edgy and are easily spooked. Back in Wyoming, at my first round up, a guy drove...

What started as a small gathering putting together a traditional meal is now the oldest running ethnic event in Havre, said Jim Griggs, chair of the event.
