A proposed mill levy increase that would pay to repair Havre's streets was discussed at a public hearing Wednesday night at city hall. Council member Terry Lilletvedt and Havre Public Works Director Dave Peterson gave a presentation detailing the proposal and why it is needed. Lilletvedt said the need for repairs to the streets is evident to anyone who drives on them. Some of the streets, she said, are as much as 100 years old, when streets are typically redone every 20...

U.S. Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., touted his party's tax reform plan during a campaign fundraiser lunch in Havre Wednesday and said House Republicans are doing their part to pass legislation.

Dear Editor, I saw on Facebook a post “If Jesus was a Republican” and the things He was doing shocked me. For one point most people I know do not tie their faith to any political alliance. If a person does, maybe they should re-evaluate their own Christian beliefs or their political loyalty. How I feel about the political arena has nothing to do with my beliefs, my faith on Jesus Christ, my acceptance of others, or anything else. Whom I love and care for and how I care for them is strictly between my Savior and me. If a per...
Living costs, textbooks, tuition — these things all add up quickly as college students who are looking to build a strong future for ourselves so that we can contribute back to the Montana we love. At a time when we are already dealing with recent increases to our tuition costs, proposed state budget cuts will not only pinch our pocketbooks even further but also could prevent opportunities for students like us to receive a higher education. If the Legislature is not willing to work with Gov. Bullock to find a more responsible...
It is dangerous to invite a stranger into one’s home, one’s sanctuary. Can the guest be trusted to display simple rudimentary manners? What if we’re not compatible? What if our schedules don’t mesh? Will there be food issues? What if we end up eye-balling one another with death wishes? A thousand considerations must be addressed. Yet, on impulse, I invited Cat Ballou into my home a mere month ago. Fortunately, she is bi-lingual. Unfortunately, within a couple days I found m...

Take Southern Oregon and Montana Tech out of the equation, and it's becoming harder and harder to figure out just who the next level of Frontier Conference contenders really are. For example, look at the last two weeks for the UM-Western Bulldogs. A thrilling home win over Montana Tech, followed by a blowout loss to College of Idaho. The Yotes' 59-27 beat down of the Bulldogs was C of I's second straight conference win, and it's only the second time in the last four years the...

To say the last four seasons have been, for the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team, anything but glorious would be putting it mildly. The Skylights have enjoyed a run of success many college programs only dream about. Northern, under longtime head coach Chris Mouat, has gone to and won games at the NAIA national tournament for the last four years, including last season when the Skylights played for the Frontier Conference championship, then went to...
