For the past four seasons, Jake Eldridge has been the man in charge of the Montana State University-Northern defense. But in actuality, Eldridge was in charge of the Lights’ defense way before that. Before a knee injury forced Eldridge to move to wide receiver for his senior season, he was a standout defensive back for the Lights, playing on some of the greatest defenses the program has ever had. A shutdown corner with blazing speed, Eldridge originally went the University o...
Two tournaments are all that stand between the Havre High boys and girls golf teams and the 2013 Central A Divisional Tournament. Two tough tournaments on tough golf courses that is. Today, the Blue Ponies play the first of two 18-hole tournaments in the Billings area as Havre participates in the Billings Central Invitational. The Ponies will also be in Laurel for the Laurel Invitational Friday morning. Havre has finished its varsity qualifying for the 2013 season, so the players playing in this week’s events will be the s...
The third week of the Frontier Conference football season sure looked like it was going to be a big one when the schedule came out. And all around the league, last Saturday lived up to the hype. Offense and big plays were the name of the game in the Frontier last Saturday, including in Havre where the MSU-Northern Lights broke loose for 600 yards and 45 points in a 45-27 win against Eastern Oregon. Northern’s numbers were staggering. Derek Lear had his first 300-yard p...
Last Friday night inside the Armory Gymnasium was as big as it gets in Frontier Conference volleyball. For one week that is. After a thrilling 3-1 victory over Carroll College Friday night in Havre, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team has to jump right into another huge match tonight. Only this time, the Skylights will do it away from home. Tonight, Northern (11-4, 1-0) is in Billings to face the No. 24 Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears (9-2, 1-0). And th...
Let's stop the derailment of Montana State University-Northern and get it back on the right track. Let's get some home leadership and protect our interests. Havre and the Hi-Line need to speak up and protect our interests. Businesses, landlords, school systems and others need the educational programs that Northern used to have and should still have. How do we have a four-year program that is in a three-year moratorium? At one time, we were told that would happen. What will happen to our four-year sports programs, football,...
Following is the letter I sent to Sidney Longwell, the Louisiana speculator whose lawsuit threatens Montana’s Badger-Two Medicine wildlands, bordering Glacier National Park. Dear Mr. Longwell, I understand that you have initiated a lawsuit to develop a lease to explore for fossil fuel beneath our Badger-Two Medicine Traditional Cultural District. am writing to express my dismay that your plans for “the Badger” would violate both the sanctity of this landscape and the treaty rights of our Pikuni-Blackfeet people. Within the B...
My name is Dr. Paul McCann. I own Bear Paw Veterinary Service and am concerned about the recent articles about Shadow, a canine owned by the Smith family. I appreciate the concern of this community and the generosity of certain people on supporting Carrie Smith financially in helping Shadow. I am disappointed in both articles; let me present some information that is important. Friday, Sept. 6, Carrie requested help with Shadow, a 10-month-old male Labrador-cross, for feeling ill and vomiting blood. Dr. Casey Peterson accepted...
I just finished 12 weeks of my therapy at Northern Montana Hospital. My doctor arranged for Medicare to pay for this in the cardiopulmonary rehabilitation department on the first floor. I followed the staff directions to the letter and I am amazed at the progress I made. The staff, including nurse Jen Granell, who watched my heart monitor, and Andrea Laumeyer and Cory LaBrie who led me through each step a dozen or more times each day were persistent in making sure I did every detail right. I made real progress over the 12...
Just today a gentleman in Great Falls, upon hearing I will soon move to Mexico, mirrored my enthusiasm, “Oh, I love Mexico. My wife and I go to Cancun every year.” Then he followed with, “Aren’t you afraid to go to Mazatlan? We hear so much bad news about the drug traffic there. Even in Cancun, when we walk the beaches, we are accosted by people trying to sell us drugs.” “Well,” I answered, “I have walked alone and with friends through many districts in Mazatlan and on the bea...

A complaint in the Havre municipal elections came Wednesday, with someone reporting to the Havre Police Department that mayoral candidate Bob Rice, a Republican, had put up campaign signs before they could be legally erected. Rice said this morning that the signs would be taken down today. Under city code, the earliest campaign signs can be erected is 45 days before the election — which is Saturday. “They had the right to do that,” Rice said about the complaint. “That...
