Montana State University-Northern Interim Chancellor Greg Kegel has amassed more than 40 years at the institution. Kegel said what he wants for Northern's future is for the university's faculty, staff and students to define who they are.

"I think that Northern will be healthy. We have to figure...

Montana’s U.S. Sen. Jon Tester said in a press conference Monday that his colleagues in Congress need to put politics aside and pass a resolution to keep the government operating, and not repeat the 16-day government shutdown of last year. “The clock is ticking,” Tester said. “We’ve got 15 days until the federal government runs out of money.” House Republicans last year refused to pass a bill to keep the government funded unless it included amendments to the health care reform, which Democrats and President Barack Obam...

The city of Havre will collect $4,800 today from property owners who failed to keep their property trim this summer. The money will be assessed on property owners who failed to keep their lawns mowed.

The city mows the lawns and tacks the cost on the property owners’ tax bills. An average size lawn is assessed $150, he said, but people with larger lawns have to pay more. About 28 properties w...

Havre Pride is a community-wide effort to clean up our town. The goal is to first get the community members working together to clean up our town, and second, to educate people on the subject of litter and community pride. The Havre Area Chamber of Com...

In the North Division of Class C Six-Man football, every game is a conference game, and if a team wants to qualify for the six-man playoffs, then every game is a must win. Last Saturday in Box Elder, two teams with playoff aspirations squared off when the upstart Box Elder Bears played host to perennial playoff contender North Star. In a tight battle, it was the Knights who were able to secure the critical road win, hanging on to defeat the Bears by the score of 39-36. The...

The first regular season poll was released Monday, and four Frontier teams are ranked inside the NAIA Top 25. At the top of the list is Rocky Mountain College, which moved up from No. 9 to No. 5 after a 3-0 start to the season.
