The Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team has went to three straight NAIA national tournaments. The Lights are also in the midst of one of the most winninegst runs the program has seen in some time. Northern has recorded eight straight 20-win seasons under veteran head coach Shawn Huse. And though summer is here to stay for a while, and the Lights won’t get things cranked up until October, the march for more Frontier Conference supremacy is already under way...
Our class was small (graduating only twenty-three) but we were tight. Whatever we set our collective mind to do, we did it up right. Year after year we had the best float in the Home-Coming Parade, the best skit at the Carnival, the most innovative dance theme. Best of all, we were pals. Then we graduated and scattered to the winds. Back in ’05 while we were lined up for a class photo at the All-School Reunion, an every five-year event, Karen and Jesse suggested, “Why don...
The discontinuation of the foot care clinics that have been provided to the residents of the Havre Eagles Manor as well as many other locations along the Hi-Line was announced last Thursday. It appears that the desire of Northern Montana Health Care is to gain and maintain financial advancement rather than provide adequate health care to the Hi-Line residents. The provision of the foot clinic at the Manor has been more than a convenience; it has been and continues to be necessary. Many seniors are unable to attend clinics at...

HELENA — Attempts to settle allegations that hundreds of Montanans were sexually abused as children by Roman Catholic clergy have been stymied by challenges from the church's insurers over which claims they are obligated to cover. So attorneys representing the 360 alleged victims, along with lawyers for the Helena diocese, the Ursuline Sisters of the Western Province and District Judge Jeffrey Sherlock began laying out plans Wednesday for the first of what could be many trials beginning in December. Attorneys for both s...

St. Jude Thaddeus Parish and School is currently undergoing construction for a new parking lot and playground. The playground and parking area have been a source of displeasure for some time now. The Rev. Daniel Wathen, pastor at St. Jude’s said, “part of the problem with the parking lot is it’s disintegrating.” The asphalt was laid directly over the ground, and over time, has shifted and settled, causing crumbling. Water management is particularly difficult, because the aspha...

The play runs nearly to the start of another MAT summer tradition, its children’s theater camp, which is set to run Aug. 5-9. “Midsummer/Jersey,...
Some local retirees are up in arms at a cost-saving measure by Havre’s hospital; cancellation of a nearly 20-year-old program of traveling foot-care clinics, with the clinics now being offered only at the hospital itself. Some 40 residents of Eagles Manor retirement home signed a letter to Northern Montana Healthcare CEO Dave Henry, asking if other parts of the budget could be trimmed to save expenses rather than the program, part of the hospital’s Senior Connection. “The provision of the foot clinic at the Manor has been...
