HELENA (AP) — Democrat John Lewis has filed paperwork to enter the 2014 race for the Montana U.S. House seat held by Republican Steve Daines. Lewis earlier this month left his job as state director for U.S. Sen. Max Baucus. The Billings native is the first to formally file federal paperwork to run for the office. Republican Matt Rosendale has filed paperwork that leaves open the possibility of a House or Senate run. Baucus announced earlier this year he won't be seeking another term — and so far no Democrats have filed to...

Prognosicating is fun. Football fans especially love to do it, and that’s what the month of August is all about. When July ends, it’s always time to start looking ahead to the next college football season. And that’s what I’ve been doing as it pertains to the Frontier Conference for over a month now. But the looking ahead is almost over. The wait is almost over. The Montana State University-Northern Lights kick off the 2013 season Thursday night in Dickinson, N.D., so it’s almost game time. And for the second straight Frontie...
The 2012 Frontier Conference season will forever be remembered as the year the league got turned upside down. After all, Carroll College lost an improbable three games in 2012, while Montana Tech went from seventh in 2011 to a tie for first. And then there’s Southern Oregon, which reeled off a two-month long winning streak and laid claim to the league title in its first season in the conference. Yes, the 2012 season was a wild one to put it mildly. And while a repeat of 2...
While a few programs have gotten off to an early start to the fall sports season, for the rest, the wait is almost over.

Thursday night, the college football season begins when the MSU-Northern Lights travel to Dickinson State for the first game of the 2013 Frontier Conference season. That...

It wasn’t the start of the regular season, but both the Havre High football and volleyball teams saw competition Saturday. Saturday, the Blue Ponies took another step toward the start of the fall sports seasons. The Havre High gymnasium housed the annual Blue/White volleyball scrimmage, while Blue Pony Stadium was home to the annual Blue/White football scrimmage.

As a transplanted, from Pennsylvania, Havreite, I am concerned about the mosquitoes. They bite often, and bite hard, all day and night, and flow into the house in a group, as well, within a second of opening the door. Not being in the exterminating business, I want to know if the local pest controllers have the right toxins to destroy this vicious strain of mosquito. These are like the tiger mosquitoes that have terrorized Canada, and one cannot leave the house without full netting. The mosquito spray I am using is not...
Bison were shipped into Fort Belknap Indian Reservation Thursday while prayers and songs were offered by Native Americans. The return of bison to Montana plains means a lot to conservationists, wildlife supporters and Native Americans, and it was heartwarming to see Natives so enthused about the arrival of the bison. It is a part of their culture that was almost entirely erased after the arrival of Europeans more than 130 years ago on what today we call the Hi-Line. It has been a long fight for Fort Belknap and Montana Fish,...
There I was laying on a bed in the fifth floor of Northern Montana Hospital, very much against my will. My doctor’s physician assistant told me gently — but in no uncertain terms — that I was to be hospitalized and that my input was not required. So, there I was, fearing the worst. What kind of treatment would I get at Northern Montana Hospital? Well, with apologies to Hi-Line detractors who say that nothing good comes out of our area, there is no better place to be in if you are under the weather than Northern Montana Hospi...
