Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., pushed back against his Democratic opponent and lamented the negative tenor of the current political climate in an interview last week. A first-term member of the House of Representatives, Zinke is looking to stave off a challenge from Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau in Tuesday’s elections. Though it is on the list of House races Democrats are looking to pick up, Zinke said he is confident he will be re-elected. “I believe I will win decisively,” Zinke said. However, he said,...
Democratic congressional candidate Denise Juneau pushed back against a negative ad by the campaign of Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., defended her stance on several issues and predicted high turnout in Tuesday’s election during a campaign stop in Havre last week. An ad from Zinke’s campaign alleges that during Juneau’s time as superintendent of Public Instruction, a legislative audit found that 64 individuals with criminal histories were hired as school bus drivers during the 2011-2012 school year. “We do the job of making sure st...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The entire political world is in a swivet. Worst election ever. Horrible candidates. Shameful dialogue. Awful conduct. What a disgrace. Hard to argue with any of that. But years from now, when this election is either a colorful or horrifying anecdote, history may look back on it as an important moment in the American passage, and a consensus may emerge — as it has about other difficult episodes, such as the confrontations of the civil rights movement, now embraced as a shining American moment — that some...
I flipped through the morning television shows this week and I didn’t know who any of their “famous” guests were. Obviously, I am not watching enough TV. “Here’s what’s-his-name, the star of that new hit show on our network! So everyone wants to know: When’s the baby due?” I have never seen the new hit show, so I didn’t know who the star was, much less with whom he was having a baby. The last time I’d watched a morning show, the featured guest was the person who’d been kicked off “Survivor” the night before. Wow! Lucky that t...
It doesn’t matter whether you want Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein or “Rocky” Roque De La Fuente to be president — if you don’t vote. If doesn’t matter whether you think Steve Bullock or Greg Gianforte would be best as governor of the state of Montana. It doesn’t matter if you would rather see Stephanie Hess or Jacob Bachmeier in the House, see Frank Smith or Bruce Meyers in the Senate, see Kristen Juras or Dirk Sandefur on the Supreme Court — unless you vote. One of the greatest things about th...
Politics are such a torment that I would advise everyone I love not to mix with them. Wait, that’s not me talking in 2016. That was Thomas Jefferson, writing to his daughter in 1800. In other words — if it makes us feel any better, if perspective can perchance calm our nerves — the 1800 presidential campaign was just as vicious as what what we’re seeing now. Incumbent President John Adams and his surrogates slimed Jefferson as a God-hater who, if elected, would close the churches and import French revolutionaries to wreak v...

If the Montana State University-Northern Lights were hoping to snag their second win of the season, the Southern Oregon Raiders made sure the Lights will have to wait one more week. Saturday in Ashland, Oregon, the Raiders snapped a four-game losing streak by belting the Lights 56-14. The loss dropped Northern to 1-8 on the season with just this Saturday’s home finale against College of Idaho remaining. SOU’s high-octane offense delivered as usual, by racking up 441 yards of...
The Glacier Nationals were on the road in Bozeman this past weekend, but despite improved play on the defensive end, they dropped both games to the Icedogs.

Yet, Glacier scored just one time in two games and lost 5-1 Friday, followed by a 3-0 loss Saturday. Glacier is now 1-14-1 on the season. Bozeman improved its...
For the Havre High volleyball team, the road to try and qualify for the Class A state tournament was always going to be tough. But in the end, the Blue Ponies ended up just two wins away from making it back. Havre opened the Eastern A Divisional last Wednesday in Laurel, by taking on the hometown Locomotives in a play-in match. HHS won that match by the scores of 25-16, 22-25, 25-22 and 28-26. Once in the tournament, Havre lost two of three matches to be eliminated. HHS fell...

Through the first three games of the regular season, the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team hadn’t faced a squad on its level, at least a team that plays NAIA basketball. And while the arrival of the Central Baptist Mustangs to Havre changed that on Friday afternoon, the result was more of the same — a dominating performance ending in a Skylights’ blowout. In its first NAIA game of the year, the No. 16 Skylights blasted the visiting Mustangs 89-46,...
