NEW YORK — The partial government shutdown that began Tuesday left many federal workers uncertain of their financial future, with many facing unpaid furloughs or delays in paychecks. Park ranger and father-to-be Darquez Smith said he already lives paycheck to paycheck while putting himself through college and worried how he'll fare if the shutdown lasts a long time. "I've got a lot on my plate right now — tuition, my daughter, bills," said Smith, 23, a ranger at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio. "I'...

Jon Stoner likes farming so much that “it just doesn’t seem like work.” If that’s the case, he has a lot of fun in his life. Jon and his wife, Claire, were given the Outstanding Agriculture Leader Award Saturday night for their long commitment to service to the farming community and the overall Hill County community. The couple stood shocked when the award was announced before a packed house at the Havre Ice Dome. “We didn’t expect this,” Jon Stoner said as he was handed the plaque by Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson...

The Little Shell tribe has a long, interesting history in Montana that is an important part of the state’s lore. Under the most difficult of times, the tribe has managed to keep its culture alive and thriving. Tribal members are leaders in their own community and in the mainstream communities of Montana. The members largely live in Montana, especially in Great Falls and on the Hi-Line. It was surprising and appalling that the Interior Department in 2009 rejected the tribe’s application for federal recognition. The dep...

An evaluation of Montana State University-Northern revealed the university is sitting at the tail-end of the race for student retention, but that the numbers saw a jump from last year’s.

The retention rate represents the number of first-time, full-time freshman who returned to Northern. Out of 14 universities and colleges that were studied in Montana, Northern had the one of the worst retention rates f...

A slow start to a football game doesn’t always indicate an uphill battle for a team. In the sport of football, the necessary adjustments can make all the difference. And if the entire team can find a way to execute after those adjustments, the momentum can shift very quickly. The Havre High football team stole all momentum on Friday night as the Central A Blue Ponies hosted the conference rival Livingston Rangers at Blue Pony Stadium for homecoming. The Ponies defeated the R...
The point of divisional golf tournaments is to get as many kids, or perhaps entire teams through to the state tourney. No matter how it gets done, no matter the scores, if you can get through, that’s all that matters. The Havre High golf teams accomplished that mission on a sunny, but windy Saturday at Prairie Farms Golf Course. The Blue Ponies got nine of 10 varsity golfers through to the Class A state tournament, with the Havre High girls capturing the Central A title in a...
If the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team was a little sluggish in Thursday night’s win over the UM-Western Bulldogs, the Skylights were anything but on the back end of their most recent home stand. MSU-N came out firing on all cylinders on Saturday afternoon at the Armory Gymnasium, and as a result, the Skylights stayed unbeaten in Frontier Conference play with a dominant three-set sweep over the visiting Westminster Griffins. Northern beat the Griffins by s...
Revenge, payback, vengeance, retribution, or whatever best describes a team turning the tables on a rival after a loss in the previous meeting is just a part of football. And coaches typically don’t use revenge as a preparation strategy, and it may never be clear just what kind of an impact that extra incentive has a game or team hungry for a win. And if there was ever a team hungry for a revenge win, it was the Havre High football team hosting the rival Livingston Rangers f...
For the second straight match the Havre High volleyball team got off to a slow start, and for the second straight match the Blue Ponies were also unable to turn that slow start into a comeback win. The Central A Ponies competed in just their second home match of the season on Saturday. And while the Ponies have without a doubt continuously gotten better since the beginning of the season, the young squad continues to struggle with consistency. Saturday at the Havre High gymnasi...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights and the UM-Western Bulldogs were both on a roll. Both teams garnered national attention this past week, and both teams were being led by star running backs chewing up gobs of yards in the last couple of games. So something had to give Saturday afternoon at Vigilante Stadium in Dillon. But what didn’t give was the Lights. Northern’s defense held the top rusher in the Frontier Conference, Western’s Sam Rutherford, to just 47 yards...
It is hard to find a race more competitive or with more individual talent than the Mountain West. The Havre High cross country team experienced the standout even first hand as the Blue Ponies continue to grow in the right direction. Saturday the Central A Ponies ran in the Mountain West in Missoula. Kalispell (173) was the No. 1 boys team, while Bozeman (184) was second, and University (251) was third. And for the girls, it was Bozeman (46) who finished as the No. 1 girls team, followed by Coeur d’Alene (97) in second, and S...
