Ruff, who grew up in Havre and graduated from Havre High School, started writing the series after a major government decision left her with nothing but time. Ruff had been teaching at the American Military University in 2013 when the sequester that was approved by Congress rendered her students...
The Chicago Cubs are World Series champions. So, because I’m a lifelong Cubs fan, you’ll have to excuse me if this column isn’t my best effort. You’ll have to forgive me, because for once, and maybe only once, I really don’t know what to say. Cubs fans, young, old and everyone in between, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You know it because, like me, you can’t believe it either. Not yet anyway. And, obviously, Wednesday night’s Game 7 against the Cleveland India...
MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — An organization that has spent $268,000 to influence a Montana Supreme Court election doesn’t need to register as a political committee with the state, an attorney for the group said in a letter to Montana’s commissioner of political practices Wednesday. The letter by Republican State Leadership Committee attorney Trevor Stanley was in response to Commissioner Jonathan Motl’s order to register and disclose its spending that went to an organization that produced a website and ads questio...
HOPE YEN Associated Press WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton may not be accumulating the type of early-vote advantage her campaign wanted, but she continues to maintain an apparent edge over Donald Trump, with roughly one-fourth of all expected ballots cast in the 2016 election. The Democrat's campaign once hoped to bank substantial votes from Democrats in North Carolina and Florida before Election Day. Both are must-win states for Trump. But data about the early vote suggest she's...

Five days after the termination of Rocky Boy Police Chief Allen Primeau, members of the Chippewa Cree Law & Order Subcommittee released a statement Wednesday saying he was dismissed after video footage emerged of him behaving inappropriately. “We do not take this decision lightly, but based on the video footage received by the Law & Order Committee, we do believe that at this time, removing Primeau from his position is in the best interest of the tribal members and law enforcement under his care,” said Dustin Whitford, cha...

Last week Bonnie called the Rancho Esperanza residents together for the first meeting in years. Understandably, it is difficult to have a meeting when the casas are, for the most part empty. This year has brought changes. Do hotcakes sell fast? Well, these casas are selling like the proverbial breakfast staple. The meeting was called to announce that we would have meetings. Oh, yes, there’s more. First, the nuts and bolts — choose officers to preside. Bonnie’s vision is to fo...
With our increasing life expectancies, age-related diseases are becoming more prevalent. Despite the pressing need for research to develop new treatments, there is a lack of adequate support for the research necessary to find cures. The result is a tidal wave of neurological diseases that threatens our well-being and also threatens our financial system. Alzheimer’s disease alone costs more to treat each year than either cancer or heart disease, and yet the only treatment options are palliative, and there has not been a new d...

Editor, This election the voters in HD 28 have a chance to really make a difference and that is by voting for Jacob D. Bachmeier. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with which party he represents, but the ideals he represents and the vision that he sees for Havre. Then you throw in the exuberance, energy and work ethic that Jacob possesses and you have someone that will represent Havre and the people, like few ever have. I have witnessed firsthand his determination. I have seen him hitting the pavement and knocking on doors...
Editor, When I first met Stephanie Hess, she was running a group home for disabled adults. She was good at her job as evidenced by the affection her clients had for her. She was shy and quiet. At the time, I would not have imagined that 15 years later she would be standing on the floor of the Montana House of Representatives making me proud that I know her. Stephanie Hess is the kind of public servant I want representing me. She does not just talk about ideals, she lives them. She is intelligent, a good listener and a...

The Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team opened its season last month with a resounding win over the Yellowstone Christian Centurions. But, two weeks have passed since that game, and the Lights are certainly itching to get back on the court. Northern (1-0) will get that chance with two games at this weekend's UGF Classic in Great Falls. The Lights will play Oak Hills Christian College Friday and Shepherd University on Saturday in a pair of non-conference...
Two games is all that stands between Frontier Conference football teams and the end of the regular season. And two more games is all that stands between the Montana Tech Orediggers, and an outright Frontier Conference championship. And the way the Orediggers have been playing, those two games might just be a mere formality. Now, veteran head coach Chuck Morrell won’t see it that way, but there’s no denying his Orediggers are on an unprecedented roll. Tech has won seven straigh...
While teams are still jockeying in the Frontier Conference race, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team has two important home games on the final weekend of the regular season. Certainly, the Skylights want to win to try and improve their standing in the conference, but MSU-N will have another motivation and that will be sending out seniors like Jacy Vining in style with one final win in the Armory Gymnasium. As far as seniors go, the Skylights only have three...
