And National Weather Service has recorded 5.5 inches of snow for the month at the airport, and the forecast does not call for...

Dear editor, I wish to urge our legislators to vote no on HB 112, which would require athletic teams to be designated based on biological sex. As the appointed ASMSU lobbyist, it is my duty to explain why this bill is neither wanted nor needed at MSU. This session, legislators have emphasized the importance of limited government and individual liberty. HB 112 is an example of government unnecessarily involving itself in the lives of individuals and deviating from those values. The ASMSU discrimination statement ensures no...
When I was a unionized worker for 18 years, my worksite was twice as safe and my wages and benefits were 23 percent more than a non-unionized workplace in my field. The union was my choice and was optional. Now, I work for that same union because I believe in what unions do for employees. I represent over 1,000 workers from Great Falls eastward and each of them has that same choice. These union workers are the essential front line before, during and after COVID. They maintained the roads you drove on today, the safe drinking...
Gov. Greg Gianforte and other high-ranking officials within his administration don’t trust their colleagues or Montanans to make their own decisions. Despite a majority of legislators and voters agreeing a piece of legislation was bad for Montana, Gianforte insisted on pushing his national agenda onto the people of Montana. A bipartisan group of legislators in the House State Administration Committee voted to defeat and subsequently table House Bill 176. This bill would end Election Day voter registration, a process that has...
After holding a 12-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, the Havre High boys basketball team allowed the visiting Miles City Cowboys to cut the lead to one point with just over four minutes remaining. It seemed fitting that on senior night, the Blue Ponies turned to senior Josh Warp in his final home game to take back momentum. Warp responded by banking a 3-point shot off the backboard to extend Havre's lead to four. "I'm a senior captain so I feel like I'm put in a...
After an exciting first weekend of volleyball, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights remembered how tough road matches are in the Frontier Conference. Friday night, the Skylights fell at Montana Tech, by scores of 27-25, 25-14 and 25-13. The first set was a tight one, but Tech roiled from there. Rylee Burmester led Northern with 13 kills and six digs, while Katie Murdock had 10 digs and Emily Feller tallied 19 assists. Things didn’t get any easier for the S...
The Havre Blue Ponies knew their road trip to Sidney would be a tough one. After all, they were taking on a juggernaut in the form of the Sidney Eagles, as well as another Eastern A rival, the Miles City Cowboys. And tough was exactly what the two duals turned out to be Saturday afternoon as the Ponies dropped their dual with the Cowboys 42-22, and 61-9 against the top-ranked Eagles. Against third-ranked Miles City, the Ponies, ranked fifth in the newest Class A coaches poll,...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights have been coming on strong in recent weeks. But they, once again, ran into an old foe that they just couldn’t get past. This past weekend in Helena, Northern dropped a pair of Frontier Conference road games to Carroll College, including falling 77-56 Saturday night. In that game, Carroll jumped ahead early, but Northern closed the game to 35-26 by halftime. The Lights continued to fight in the second half, but they couldn’t get any...
The Carroll College women’s basketball program is really good these days, and no one knows that better than Montana State University-Northern head coach Chris Mouat. And he also knows, it’s hard rough playing the mighty Fighting Saints under normal circumstances, let alone doing it after missing a week and multiple more practices due to quarantine. But that’s what the Skylights were up against when they traveled to No. 6 Carroll this past weekend in Helena. On Saturday night...
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced Havre High athletics to adjust how they operate. Probably the most notable difference from a normal season is the use of virtual meets for the swim team. A virtual meet is when a team swims in their own pool and then their times are compared with swimmers from other schools to determine results. This allowed the Blue Ponies to stay home Friday night as they used the Havre Community Pool for the 2021 Stacy Frey Invitational. Their times were...
