The Fort Benton team is only made up of six wrestlers, so head coach Colby Cline was pleased with their performance to end the season. "I'm happy with our team. We've only had six wrestlers...
After a strong first day at the All-Class State wrestling tournament, the Havre High Blue Ponies looked to keep things rolling at the Metra in Billings on Saturday.

"Not so hot of a morning and then in that next round, we didn't have a great round either," HHS head coach Beau LaSalle said. "But the kids responded in...
In its weekly business meeting Thursday the Hill County Commission tabled discussion of providing the Hill County Health Department with American Rescue Plan Act funds at the request of Hill County Public Health Director Kim Berg. The commission voted to table the discussion because they wanted a chance to get more information from Berg about the wages of her contact tracers that the funds would pay for but hadn’t heard back. Hill County Commissioner Diane McLean said she suspects Berg didn’t have time as she was working on...
After being gone for nearly two years, the All-Class State tournament has finally returned to the Metra in Billings. On Friday, some teams started strong while others faltered out the gate.

COVID-19 cases continue to drop in the area as experts remain hopeful that the omicron surge in the U.S. is waning.

“Everything in life is a matter of perspective,” that’s one of my favorite quotes from myself — though, to be fair to humans of the world, I hardly think the phrase is unique to me. Still, it is one of my few, and simple, guiding principles for life. You just have to look at things the right way to see and understand them more clearly, or even just to feel better. Sometimes that act of seeing, that just-right perspective, is both literal and figurative. Like a horse I saw in...

With such a young team heading to state, HHS head coach Bill Kilgore just wants to see the Blue Ponies learn from this experience.

The Blue Ponies hosted Browning for their senior night Thursday and were hoping to turn that energy into a win. However, the Ponies were unable to keep up as Browning won 71-62.

Locked in a tight battle for third place in the Frontier Conference standings, Montana State University- Northern Lights had to have Thursday night's game in the Armory Gymnasium. And they got it. In front of a raucous crowd, Northern won the rubber match with Rocky Mountain College, 79-60, improving to 6-7 in the Frontier, and moving two games clear of the rest of the field for third place.

There's no quit in the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. Time and time again, Northern tried to battle back on "Pink Night" at the Armory Gymnasium. Unfortunately though, it wasn't enough, because the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears are really, really good.

The loss dropped Northern to 1-12 in the Frontier Conference, while Rocky improved to 12-1 in league play...

One state championship would be more than enough for any high school athlete. Two state titles would put your name in your school's record books. But Orion Thivierge is going for the trifecta. Winning three straight Class A state championships is now the final mission in an incredible high school wrestling career for the Blue Pony senior. "Just being able to be a three-time state champ is not something a lot of people have the opportunity to do. Even just having the...
Out our way, the skies are dark and the snow is deep. The Alberta Clippers come screaming across the Milk River and with the wind chill, 30 degree below zero is not unusual. As many of you know, Montana winters account for many of the "For Sale" signs that pop up in the more touristy region where wealthy Californians and Texans are sure they discovered Paradise last winter. Beautiful scenery coupled with, what seems to them, extremely low housing costs, entice them to sell...
Lutefisk: the piece of cod that passeth all understanding. I was so grateful to finally try this Norwegian delicacy at last week's Lutefisk and Swedish Meatball Dinner. I admit: I loved the fellowship more than the fish, but it's the fish that gives us the reason for the fellowship. And joy shared is joy multiplied. I think the same is often true of grief. Grief shared is grief divided. At the Greater Havre Area Ministerial Association's February meeting, the pastors heard a...
You know, Lord, February reminds us of love! Valentine's Day might be printed in red on some calendars, but there are dozens of names that may fill out the rest of the dates on many friends' calendars. Chuckle along with me, Lord, as we look around, seeing love being expressed almost anywhere. In church, a young couple stood close together, having their arm around their spouse's waist. That was special to see - but they were not the only ones doing that. Then, a little girl...
