It all happened so fast. Before Feb. 9, the Simenson’s 7-year-old “spitfire” of a son was boisterously enjoying life. Within two days, the Simensons had been flown to a Colorado hospital after finding out their son had a football-sized tumor in his chest. On Feb. 9, Wacee Simenson was having “flu-like” symptoms, his mother, Tomi Simenson, said. So she took him to a clinic in their hometown of Chinook, which then led to a visit at Havre’s Northern Montana Hospital. Tomi and Justin Simenson were wholly unprepared for what ha...

The Northern C Division is always one of the most talented in all of Class C basketball and even though it wasn't represented in the state championship game this season, it's still loaded with good players and good teams.

Reference to letter to editor Feb. 28 which presents itself as a “challenge” to Professor John Snider but is actually a fact-free, logically challenged personal attack on the man. The Feb. 28 letter claims Snider has never written anything positive about Northern in HDN. A quick look at the archives shows that this is the first of many false claims the letter makes. For a comprehensive list of Snider’s many...
