MSU-N Announces Football Reunion and Homecoming The Northern Alumni Foundation (NAF) invites former coaches, trainers, staff and their families to “save the date� and join them on September 14 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the reinstatement of the Lights Football program. The NAF promises a great weekend since it is also MSU-Northern’s Homecoming.

A spokesperson with the NAF claimed that the weekend will offer opportunities to catch up, laugh, and reminisce with old friends about time spent roaming the sidelines as part of the Northern Lights football program.

In addition to the homecoming tailgate on Saturday, the NAF is planning a Homecoming Spirit Brunch at the new Diesel Technology Building. The community and alumni are

On Tuesday, August 7, the Havre Police Department hosted its National Night Out event from 6:00-8:00 PM on the lawn at the Student Union Ballroom (SUB) on the campus of MSU-Northern with a special agency helicopter as the featured highlight.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer places to live.

In the spirit of camaraderie, a BBQ supper was sponsored by the Lions Club, who accepted free-will donations for the meal. All proceeds collected will fund the Havre Lions’ Recycle for Sight Program, which distributes eyeglasses to people in need in low and middle-income communities. Donated glasses can help a child read, an adult succeed in his/her job, Continued on p. 5...

National Night Out continued... or a senior citizen maintain independence.

The classic rock and roll band Blind Luck from Havre supplied entertainment. The crowd in attendance enjoyed Joe Ross on guitar and vocals, Woody Woodwick on bass and vocals, Jeff McCormick on percussion and vocals, and Kent McCormick operating lights and sound.

According to Jane Hedstrom, an administrative assistant with the Havre Police Department, the main goal or purpose of the event was to provide community awareness about the public safety services available in the area, services like Search and Rescue, Emergency Medical Services, Fire Department, Border Patrol, and Boys and Girls Club. Each organization had a booth or station where individuals could interact with agency members and learn about benefits firsthand. When all of these agencies gather in one place, National Night Out serves as a community-building campaign that promotes public service agency-community partnerships and furnishes a venue for information sharing.

With booths, raffles, games, and even a dunking booth, National Night Out events like Havre’s function to enhance the relationship between public safety agencies and their neighbors while nurturing a sense of community. Furthermore, they offer an opportunity to bring police and their neighbors together under positive circumstances.

Celebrated since 1984 and sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in the United States and Canada, National Night Out is observed annually on the first Tuesday in August. It was created to increase awareness about police programs in communities. In Havre, some of those programs include Crime Stoppers, Shop with a Cop, and Havre Police Protective Association (HPPA).

The HPPA holds concerts every year, and the money raised funds scholarships and presents donations to various programs. At the National Night Out event, they held a gun raffle with ten chances to win.

DEAR DAVE, Do you believe the adult child of a senior citizen, who is physically and mentally healthy but has neglected to plan for retirement, should be burdened with providing financial assistance to that parent? ~Robbie DEAR ROBBIE, Based on the wording in your question, I can only believe you don’t think the adult child should be “burdened” to provide this assistance. My guess is you’re talking about one of your own parents. I understand that you might be aggravated with a parent who has been irresponsible with their money. But in my mind, there’s a bigger question.

How big is the burden?

I talked to a guy recently who was making $1.5 million a year. He was questioning whether he should help his dad — an older man in poor health, who didn’t handle his money well — by giving him $1,000 a month. There’s no question you give that guy money. You’re making millions, but you don’t want to help your sick dad? Come on!

But if you bring home $2,000 a month, and your family is barely getting by, you’re not morally required to financially take care of a parent who was irresponsible with their money.

It’s all relative. Do you have the money? Can you provide this help without placing an undue burden on yourself and your family? If the answer is yes, you may be asking more about your own aggravation than any sort of moral obligation.

But no, you’re not morally obligated to destroy your own life, or your family, to take care of a relative who didn’t take care of themselves financially. ~ Dave DEAR DAVE, I’ve going to be debt-free with a full emergency fund in pace by the end of the year. I’m going to get a dog after that, but I wanted to make sure I did it the right way and was in good financial shape before making that move. Is a separate emergency fund for pets a good idea? ~Scott DEAR SCOTT, My wife and I love animals. We’ve had a least one dog the whole time we’ve been married. Still, I think a full emergency fund of three to six months of expenses will cover you and your pet.

You go through some expense as a pet owner, along with happy, wonderful times and heartbreaking things, too. We lost our golden retriever recently, and I can tell you that was really hard on everyone. You love them like they’re family, but you still have to use common sense sometimes, and remember that they’re animals and not human beings. Part of that includes spending reasonable amounts of money on them — and in some unfortunate cases — doing things with the animal’s best interest, not our own desires, in mind.

What is a reasonable amount? That depends on how stable you are financially.

It’s really a ratio question of expense to means. But no, I wouldn’t recommend a second emergency fund just for pets. ~Dave

ENJOYING EVERYDAY Joyce Meyer

LIFE

The Ultimate Way to Beat Stress If you’ve been alive in this world very long, you know there are different kinds of stress that can affect our lives. There’s nutritional stress, relationship stress, financial stress, and the list goes on and on.

We’re all affected by stressful situations at times, from minor inconveniences like traffic, long lines at the grocery store or losing your keys to more extreme issues such as chronic illness, the death of a loved one or divorce. But if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, then you are equipped to face and defeat stress.

The Best Stress Buster On my personal journey to learning about stress and how to defeat it, I discovered the importance of establishing practical boundaries, like having healthy eating habits, getting good rest and exercising consistently. As I applied these changes to my life, I started to feel good again.

But Psalm 27:4-6 (NIV) reveals something that’s even more important to do: “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me….”

In these verses, David is saying, “Here’s how you can help yourself when you’re in trouble: Seek the Lord – it’s the one thing that is more important than anything else!”

Notice that verse 6 says “Then my head will be exalted above the enemies that surround me.” So when do we get help? After we’ve spent time with God. God’s Word contains the practical instruction we need to have peace, real joy and happiness. So spending time with Him in prayer and Bible study is the main key to defeating stress in your life.

Recognize the True Source of Stress Proverbs 14:30 gives us an amazing promise from God. It says, “A calm and peaceful and tranquil heart is life and health to the body, but passion and envy are like rottenness to the bones” (AMP). This scripture shows us that anything other than a calm, peaceful mind creates stress. And when we worry, overthinking our problems, wondering what we’re going to do, we’re actually causing stress to grow in our soul.

If you’re thinking, “But Joyce, I can’t help it! I can’t stop worrying,” then I want to tell you that you can help it. Anything God tells us in His Word to do, He gives us the ability to do it. So we can learn how to have a calm, peaceful mind – through Christ – if we choose to trust Him and ask Him to help us do it.

First Peter 5:7 says to cast “all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully” (AMP). The best thing we can pray when we’re struggling with worry is, “God, I’m not smart enough to run my life by myself. I need Your wisdom, grace and strength to do the right thing.

Please help me.”

I really want you to get this: Your ability to defeat stress is determined by what’s going on inside of you, not by what’s going on outside of you in your circumstances.

Peace That Trumps Stress Every Time In John 14:27, Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give...to you. …Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled]” (AMPC).

As a born-again believer in Jesus, you already have His peace in your spirit.

In this verse, He’s saying, “Here’s My part and here’s your part: I’m going to leave My peace with you, and because you have My peace, when stressful things happen, you don’t have to get upset on the inside.”

I’ve learned that when I feel myself starting to get upset, if I remember that John 14:27 tells me to “stop allowing yourself to be agitated and disturbed,” then I can “talk myself off the ledge.” In other words, instead of jumping into a problem that is emotionally driven, I remind myself, “Calm down. Don’t say something you’ll regret or that will make things worse. Get God’s perspective of this situation and choose to believe the best of the people involved.”

Knowing God’s Word and trusting Him completely are the keys to living in peace. I want to encourage you to study scriptures like Matthew 11:28-29, which says Jesus will ease, relieve and refresh your soul when you come to Him and let Him take care of you. And 2 Timothy 1:7, which says God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, a calm well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

Spend time seeking God above all else, and you can learn how to use everything He’s given you to defeat the stress in your life!

44th Annual

Montana Angus Tour September 18-20

Montana Angus Tour Returns to the Hi-Line Hosted by members of the North Central Montana Angus Association, the 44th Annual Montana Angus Tour will take place September 18-20 in Havre, Chinook, and Malta.

Twenty breeders will have their cattle on display with stops at ten ranches.

The Montana Angus Tour is an annual driving tour that visits an elite selection of reputation Montana Angus ranches to promote Montana Angus breeders and their cattle. Tour participants will get a preview of livestock that will be available in upcoming production sales. Producers will also discuss any new genetics or production directions they are pursuing.

Headquartered in Havre, the 2018 Montana Angus Tour is co-chaired by Dave Hinman and Klint Swanson, with Lori Swanson serving as the secretary. Although a Tour takes place in Montana every year, it occurs in each region on a seven-year rotation. Seven years ago, when the tour was in North Central Montana, 250 people attended, and 90 per cent of those were out-of-state guests.

“We pull people from 25-30 states, including all the way from the east coast,” secretary Swanson said.

The Tour is scheduled to take place over the course of three, event-filled days.

These events intend to honor this year’s tour motto:
