I think that because my typical day starts before most people’s does, before the noise of civilization in motion, it’s the sounds of morning that captivate me most. I am used to the beloved sounds of home, which, on a Friday in February, start around 4 a.m. There's the squeak and groan of our home's old floorboards, the quiet padding of dog feet, horses nickering in anticipation of food, the cat's faint “mroww, mroww, mroww” growing steadily louder as he announces his approac...
Laurel — Jack Johnsrud won the 49th annual Hill County Spelling Bee this week. Havre Middle School should be proud.

The Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team never has a problem getting up to play the University of Great Falls Argos. After all, it’s as intense a rivalry as there is in the Frontier Conference. But when you add to the rivalry by throwing in senior night at the Armory Gymnasium, and the fact that both teams are playing for their Frontier playoff lives, the game then takes on a whole new meaning.
