To say that Sam Mix went through trials and tribulations during his college football career would be an understatement. But despite everything that's happened, the stabbing attack that could have taken his life and left him gravely injured; the four head coaches he has played under at Montana State University-Northern, plus all the other hardships every student-athlete goes through, Mix has never given up, and in the end, that perseverance has paid off, not just on the...
The Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line is celebrating its 16th birthday during Havre Festival Days and wants its alumni - and community members - to come in and see what has changed since it opened.

Winning on the road is never easy but when you play in the Eastern A, winning at home isn't either, especially when the team you're playing is as hot as the Belgrade Panthers. Yet, that is the challenge that faces the Havre High football team tonight as it welcomes the fourth-ranked Panthers into Blue Pony Stadium for an Eastern A showdown with plenty on the line for both teams. Kickoff between the two long-time rivals is set for 7. "Our goal is just to try and be 1-0 again,"...
It's been a rough two weeks for the Montana State University-Northern Lights. And while the opponents don't get any easier, the Lights are looking for a little homecoming magic to get them back on track. Again, it won't be easy, but Northern (0-2, 1-2) is certainly excited and fired up for its 2018 homecoming game. Saturday, the Lights will welcome Carroll College (1-1, 2-1) to Blue Pony Stadium for a Frontier Conference showdown. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. "It has been a tough...

It's the Griz' first road...

Supporting Montana’s Six Mill Levy to support Montana’s University System is the right thing to do! At first glance, it may appear odd that the president of Carroll College, a Catholic liberal arts college in Montana, is writing this guest editorial. However, it makes sense for several reasons. First, Montana is facing a potential workforce crisis. The Montana Department of Labor and Industry has forecast that close to 25 percent of our State’s workforce will retire in the next ten years. We have approximately 523,000 peopl...
Sure, we all joke about it being true, but it’s not. The truth is that not all Canadians are polite people. It’s impossible. Mathematicians will tell you it’s statistically impossible for 36.3 million people to all be polite. Statistically speaking, some will be crude, some will be crabby and some will be jerks, among other impolitenesses. If you don’t believe math, choose a different area of study; they’ll all tell you the same thing. Sociologist will tell you about the...
Playing high school football can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and if it wasn't for some convincing from his teammates and family, Ethan Roberts might not be playing for the Havre Blue Ponies. Roberts, a senior and two-way starter for the Havre High football team this season, stopped playing football when he was a sophomore as he pursued the sport of hockey. At the time, Roberts, who at one time played for a statewide all-star team, was practicing with the Glacier...

In Luther’s Small Catechism there are Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine — the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Holy Baptism, Confession and the Sacrament of the Altar. Each of these brief parts is headed by this instruction: “As the head of the family should teach them in a simple way to his household.” What Luther instructs here is the very command of the Scriptures. “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6...
Out our way, long days are not uncommon — and even when it’s something you love doing, you can get tired. Charley and I had been pushing cows all day on Tiger Ridge and I do mean all day. I couldn’t see that it bothered Charlie, but I sure was feeling my age. My legs were aching from holding on as we raced up various ridges after strays — and, to be honest, when it comes to riding fast and hard over rough terrain, my “seat” was never the best to begin with. And the saddle was not cushioned! Indeed my seat was sore! I rec...
Lord, You do have a sense of humor. Remember when a few of us girls were together chatting over coffee about getting our hair cut that afternoon, when one of the gals shared that her devotional that morning was called “The Price of Beauty?” Yes, we actually did giggle about that. Then one of the gals said that she and her hubby had just had their passport pictures taken the day before, then viewing the finished product, they saw hair sticking out on the side like a bristly old-fashioned shaving brush. They knew they had to do...
