Hunting and shooting is a family tradition for us. First our children and now our grandchildren learn how to handle a firearm, they learn maintenance and proper safety. They respect firearms. They have the right to carry on this tradition — a right given to them in the constitution. Taking away gun rights is not the answer. Guns are not the problem — people are the problem, evil and sometimes mentally unstable people. A gun in itself is an inanimate object that is controlled by, you guessed it, a person. If criminals wan...
Used to be, if I had a serious deadline, I would work all day, work all night, work until the project was finished, ready to deliver.

Perhaps like today, hang laundry, rest, generally with a book in hand, make the bed, rest, sweep floor, rest, work on project, re...

But, in what's becoming a trend for the Lights, Northern took down ACU 20-14 on a hit...
The Havre Blue Pony volleyball team is heading into week two of the young season and are looking to claim a victory twice, one against Great Falls and another at home against Browning. Two games in one week will surely give the squad some opportunities to show off even more than the Ponies did in the Eastern A Preseason Tip-Off Tournament. Playing a Class AA squad, the Great Falls Bison, will kick off their week with a bang. Great Falls is looking to bounce back from a very...
