    Patrick Johnston|Updated Aug 27, 2021

  • View from the North 40: It's just a long-winded version of 'Oh no, I broke it!'

    Pam Burke|Updated Aug 27, 2021

    Our old friend the law of unintended consequences says that actions of people always have effects that are unanticipated or unintended, but basically, it’s just a fancy way of saying “oops.” Like the law of gravity is an explanation used in the science of physics, the law of unintended consequences comes from the social sciences, such as economics and politics (which are frequent bedfellows, though that does not matter for our purposes here today — I’m just sayin’). Historian...

  • Correction - Hill County Health Board meeting

    Updated Aug 27, 2021

    A story about Wednesday’s Hill County Health Board meeting in the Thursday edition of Havre Daily News misattributed a statement at the meeting. Audience member Charlotte Faust was the person who said, “We also have freedom.” The story also misreported details of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for fully vaccinated people. CDC recommends vaccinated people get tested 3-5 days after the date of being exposed to COVID-19 and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days after exposure or until...

    Kason Clark|Updated Aug 27, 2021

    Heading into his fourth year leading the Montana State University-Northern football team, head coach Andrew Rolin hopes they take the next step as a program. However, their first step to achieve that goal will be against the College of Idaho, the 19th-ranked team in the nation, at Tilleman Field this Saturday.

  • Out Our Way: Don't quit! - Matthew 4:16-17

    Updated Aug 27, 2021

    Out our way, the best riders are the ones who never give up. They will get thrown and tossed and stomped, but they don't quit. They "cowboy up" and get back in the saddle. Granted, there are some of us who take longer than others - who spend more time on the ground than in the saddle - but though we may never become great riders, we can become adequate. Learning to just keep at it is a good thing in daily life as well as working cattle, and it is amazing how many folks have...

    Updated Aug 27, 2021

Quoting her: "Aside from enjoying the scents and experiencing their healing power, I've been fascinated to read about the Biblical basis for their use and the documented stories of their success. "I love history, but when...

  • GAME DAY FEATURE: FINALLY: Fans ready to pack new Tilleman Field

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 25, 2021

    The Montana State University-Northern Lights have had ceremonies dedicating their brand new on-campus stadium. They've had ribbon-cuttings, they've honored the man it's named after (Mike Tilleman). They've even played two Frontier Conference games there. They've set foot on the turf many, many times now. IN fact, so many times so, that, the stadium isn't really brand new anymore. But, what the Lights haven't done is, plain a Saturday afternoon, in the fall, in front of...
