Three years after being diagnosed, a prominent local well-known for community, social and political activism has died after her struggle dealing with the effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

People attending Festival Days events this weekend - and from now on - might notice the results of the second project underway of a group working to revitalize downtown Havre: colorful local art adorning control boxes by the city's traffic lights. "It's awesome," said Havre native Jillian Allen, who both submitted art used in the project and helped prepare the files to go on vinyl wraps around the traffic control boxes. "It's going to be nice to have some color in Havre. "I"m...
Randy and Amanda Christofferson couldn't have children. They both wanted to, badly, but Amanda said she couldn't conceive. So in 2010, they started fostering children, and over the next three years, they would foster a total of nine. The departure of the last two children really upset them, especially, they said, because they were made to believe those would be the ones who would finally become permanent family. "The week before Christmas, the social worker from Great Falls...
Mark 6:45-52 Out our way, even non-church folk have heard about Goliath. From time to time I hear from folks who have no time for Church or preachers, but have begun to look forward to Friday's religion page to see what theological insights old Doc is offering this week. It seems one of the most common themes that keeps coming up is the theology of the dreaded culvert. For all his horse sense, Goliath just can't wrap his orange-sized brain around the idea that the black...

There’s no denying the greatness of the Montana State University-Northern, and formerly, the Northern Montana College wrestling program in the annals of collegiate wrestling history. And to prove that greatness, one needs look no further than the 2016-17 NAIA Hall of Fame Class, which includes three Lights legends. The NAIA announced the class on Thursday, a class that includes former Northern coaching great David Ray, as well as two of the best two ever wear a singlet at Nort...
The Havre High volleyball team has had a rough go of it in recent weeks, but Saturday, HHS will have a chance to rebound as the Blue Ponies get away from preseason tournaments and back to regulation matches. That’s because the Ponies will pay a visit to Conrad, a Class B opponent that Havre plays on a yearly basis. The two teams will play Saturday night with the first set getting underway at approximately 7 p.m. “I don’t know a lot about Conrad, but they were a solid team...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights have been close — closer than the scoreboard would indicate when it comes to getting the first win of the young season. However, as the Lights return to Blue Pony Stadium this Saturday, getting over that hump will be easier said than done. That’s because Northern (0-2, 0-2) welcomes in No. 22 Carroll College (1-1, 1-1) for a Frontier Conference showdown, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. Saturday in Havre. And, like when the Lights had...

You know, Lord, there isn’t a one of us who doesn’t need help, now and then. We might not know we need help — but occasionally, we could all use a bit of encouragement. Older women are good at this. Mom and Auntie Selena were both old-fashioned girls, both knew how to do a multitude of things. Mom, on the ranch, was miles away while hubby’s Auntie was just across town. Mom had the talent and ability to do many things. Auntie Selena also had special gifts; she once taught school, she loved to read, she also wrote poetry. And l...
Matthew 5:21-26 Last Sunday was the 15th anniversary of 9/11. Perhaps it was a day that recalled, or even revived, dormant feelings of anger and desperation. Certainly, when the World Trade Center Towers came down 15 years ago, many people in the country were ready for blood. And they got it. We had just cause for our anger. But what is a biblical response when we’re quite sure our anger is of the righteous variety? For many of us, the visual impressions of terrorist horror were confined to the TV screen. Osama bin Laden a...
Like many high school football teams on the reservation, the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds have often been overlooked. Football has never gotten the attention that basketball has and when wins didn’t come on the gridiron, it became even harder to keep the attention of both players and fans. Yet, HLP head coach Shawn Mount never gave up and before the season, he predicted that his team would get a win. And last weekend in Fort Benton, the T-Birds made sure his prediction came tr...
The Havre High football team couldn't have asked for a better start to the 2016 season. But now, the Blue Ponies need to show they can handle success, and their first shot at doing that will come tonight, on the road against Sidney. HHS, which defeated the Eagles at Blue Pony Stadium a year ago, will look for its second straight win over its Eastern-A rival. Kickoff between the two teams is set for 7. "I am nervous about this one," HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. "Sidney is a...
Three weeks on the road is a long time for a volleyball team. But, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights are hoping the wait to play at home was worth it. Northern will get that chance tonight when the Skylights begin Frontier Conference play by making their home debut against the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears. The action starts at 7 inside the Armory Gymnasium, and the Skylights couldn't be more excited. "We've been talking about this match since the first...
No matter the circumstance, no matter the adversity, sometimes, things are perfect right where you are. And for the last five years, that's been the case for Montana State University-Northern senior defensive end Jordan Brusio. No matter what's gone on around him, no matter who else is on the field, or on the sidelines, Brusio has always felt playing football, and going to school at Northern, was perfect for him. And, as it's turned out, Brusio, a former West High standout in...
