In today’s world of sports, success is always measured by a team winning its last game. Whether it’s the Super Bowl, a national championship in college or a state championship in high school, winning that last game is the measuring stick in this world of instant gratification. But for me, football is much more than winning. Maybe it’s because I’m 40 and I don’t play or coach the game, or maybe it’s because I get to cover the great game of football on all levels, and that’s...

Two days after flames engulfed 2,000 acres of dry prairie on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, authorities say fire crews brought in from other nearby areas to combat the inferno have been sent home and the blaze itself is almost completely contained.

If it were somehow possible to make a present-packed, candy-crammed, stocking-stuffed, family-filled Christmas holiday better, 7-year-old Aiden of Mrs. Wilkin's second-grade class would add trick or treating in the mix of the most popular holiday of the year. Lincoln-McKinley Primary School has no shortage of "Christmas specialists," Principal Bitz said, as she passed through a herd of chattering students on their way back from recess. Before imparting branches of knowledge fr...
Members of the Montana State University-Northern Collegiate Stockgrowers Association said their efforts to raise funds for a program to help veterans Wednesday night yielded strong returns. “Many brave people came out in the wind and enjoyed the horse-drawn carriage rides and we also received a lot of in-kind donations,” said Mary Heller, director of the Career Center at Northern and adviser to the Collegiate Stockgrowers.

This time it will be Class AA rival CMR and tip-off will be at 5 p.m., inside the HHS gymnasium. "Our kids are fired up about it (playing at h...
Last season, the Havre High boys basketball team and CMR played two nail-biting games. Fortunately for HHS, the Blue Ponies came out on top both times, but a new year means potentially new results. After dropping their first game of the season last Saturday in Malta, 61-52, the Ponies will look to rebound with their second straight road game. This time, HHS will visit the CMR Fieldhouse on Saturday for a game against CMR that will tip off at 5 p.m. The difference between the...
Once upon a time, the Havre High swim teams absolutely dominated Class A swimming. But, things change, and eventually, the domination shifted south to Billings and the Billings Central Rams. Now however, the Blue Ponies are once again on the upswing in the pool, and they’re ready to make the 2015-16 season the best the program has had in years. Havre is set to open its season at home Saturday when the Blue Ponies host the annual Havre Invitational. For third-year head coach Ji...

To know me is to know that I have a contrariness to my nature. For better or worse. From birth till in death do I part. Some piece of me will yin to another’s yang, will yes because there was a no, will advocate the devil’s side. Yes, it will even prompt me to speak nice of my old nemesis, winter. I know that sounds like crazy talk from me, the person who once said that winter is a boil on the backside of existence. But I can assure you that, yes, I said nice things, genuinely...

As he stood in at the south door of Gary & Leo's Fresh Foods Saturday, he chatted with people he hadn't seen in some time, pulled out shopping carts for shoppers and took donations from folks who wanted to help out the Salvation Army. He's been doing this for years - standing at the red kettle, ringing the bell and chatting with...

Out our way, we listen to the U.S. meteorological agency, but put our trust in The Farmer's Almanac. Last year, the "experts" in Washington said it would be a harsh winter but the Almanac said it would be mild. As most of the local ranchers and farmers expected, the Almanac nailed it. This winter, I am told, the winter will be tougher, and old Goliath is very pleased to see the number of round bales being set aside. Even if the winter isn't as bad as some are predicting, its...
