He said the kind of products and work the family does is vitally imp...
Local resident Sonni Ochoa is holding a benefit dinner for her 4-year-old child Jaspen, who is in need of a life-saving heart transplant, a procedure that is just another step on a long, difficult and expensive road for him to live as normal a life as possible with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The dinner is being held Saturday at the Havre Eagles Club from 6 to 8 p.m. with enchiladas, Spanish rice and beans for $15 a plate, as well as nachos for children. It also will...

Dear Editor, This letter goes out to the members of the Bear Paw Credit Union. It pertains to the proposed merger with Altana Federal Credit Union. I am urging all members to vote no on the merger until all facts can be gathered. I received a letter from the president of the board of directors asking for our vote on this issue.

A special meeting will be held that same day at 5 p.m. to discuss...
Editor, The right of individual privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and shall not be infringed without the showing of a compelling state interest, these words are enshrined within the Montana constitution under Article II section 10. Section 10 of Article II guarantees all Montanans the fundamental right to privacy and has been challenged throughout its inception as all good things are that benefit the public at large. This right to privacy currently encompasses but is not limited to the right to an...
Editor, The Montana Constitution is an admirable work, and I marvel at it because, being from Colorado, not even our state constitution can compare to it. Recently, “the right to know” in the Montana Constitution has caught my eye. I want to know what my legislators are doing and how their choices behind closed doors will impact my life. How it will affect my neighbor’s life, my friend’s life, heyy ... maybe even my dog’s life. I want to be in the know, and I want to be in a room where things happen metaphorically. If these...
We get used to using particular products in our daily living so when those items are not available on store shelves, what is a person to do? Ha! I have the answer. We make do! Generally I’m not too fussy and don’t get into a flap about bare shelves. And I don’t play the blame game. That’s futile. Pandemic? Climate disasters? Politics? Maybe they all play a part. But that doesn’t change my challenge, to live as simply and comfortably as possible with what’s on hand, right? But...
How did we get where we are? Quantum entanglement is back in the lime light again after three scientists won the 2022 Nobel Prize in physics for their research in quantum whatever. The quick summary of quantum entanglement is when two particles, such as photons, electrons, neutrinos and molecules, link together in a certain way that no matter how far apart they are in space their state remains the same. (And as an FYI, state means condition or status not, like, Montana or...

When the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team takes the floor tonight, 12 days will have passed since the Skylights last played. MSU-N, which hosts Rocky Mountain College for Pink Night tonight, has been off since an Oct. 8 match against Montana Tech, as the league had its annual bye week last week. Still, the Skylights (11-7) will look to build some new momentum as they enter the second half the regular season. Northern begins the final push in Frontier...
The Montana State Bobcats aren't out to prove anything - at least it's not public if they are. But, while it may not be the case, it sure looks like the Bobcats are trying to prove that last year's run to the FCS national championship game was no fluke, and certainly not a one-time deal. No, the Cats appear to finally be in it for the long haul. The program has always flirted with longevity, but it's never fully materialized. Blame winning the 1984 national championship,...
