Bret Van Valkenburg relishes his role, and his time as a Tornado There is something unique about playing basketball for the Turner Tornadoes. Many people who live in the town or have played for the team, describe it as a family atmosphere and no one knows what that's like better than Bret Van Valkenburg. And while many of the players for the Tornadoes describe the team as a family, in the case of Van Valkenburg, basketball truly is a family affair. That's because Kevin Van...

In last week's column, there was a letter from a Mr. Wilson calling Havre "One Wicked Little City." Its contents had clearly been maligning Havre's vices and its prominence within the business district. There was no response in Havre's defense in the newspapers this week, but on the front page of The Hill County Democrat's Jan. 29, 1916 issue, the city of Havre was finally taking notice-again: LID IS ON FOR GOOD Mayor D. S. MacKenzie, through the police department, has put...
Ryan Schafer was going to jail. He was already on probation when he committed his fifth offense. "I have a problem with drinking, and when I get drunk I commit crimes," is one of the first things Schafer said in an interview with Havre Daily News. Schafer drank to the point of blacking out. One of his favorite crimes to commit was stealing cars. He'd taken a total of seven cars during his inebriated bandit career. His blackouts were so severe that he once unknowingly helped...

The exact number of cases is “anywhere between two to six,” Hannum said, and “less than 10,” according to McPherson. Hannum said this is normal for this time of year. McPherson said much the same. The symptoms of mono are fatigue, soar throat and swollen lymph nodes. McPherson said the most blatant of the symptoms is the tiredness. “Occasionally, there is a fever,...
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. — 1 Timothy 6:17 The Bible has much to say about finances. Regarding this upcoming election cycle, some of the area pastors have been praying that God would put into office leaders who would follow what He has to say about money. You and I can follow the above verse through the power of the Holy Spirit and make a d...

I broke a significantly sized corner off a front tooth when I was 10 years old. Sorry to make you cringe right out of the gate. I was at the public swimming pool and as I was getting out of the water my hands slipped off the gutter. I slammed my mouth into the cement. It could have been worse, but I still remember looking in the mirror, choking back tears and the sickness in my gut. I was sure I was going to look wretched and stupid for the rest of my life. I was 10. I...

Scout leader Dave McLeod stood in the center court of Holiday Village Mall Saturday at the annual Pinewood Derby. Scouts had made their own miniature wooden cars and took part in the annual competition whereby the cars race in heats down a ramp as crowds cheer. McLeod was a part-time master of ceremonies, part-time cheerleader. He got the crowd worked up, inciting them to cheer for their favorites. "If you stand behind the yellow tape, you can blow really hard and make them...
Winning just one out of six games over the last three weeks at the Armory Gymnasium, the Montana State University-Northern Lights were on the brink of letting their season get away from them. But, it's funny how one game is all a team needs to turn things around. And that's what the Lights are hoping Thursday night's 54-42 win over the UGF Argos in Great Falls will do for them. The victory in the McLaughlin Center avenged UGF's one-point win in Havre back on Jan. 11, and it al...
There are times when, no matter how hard you fight, no matter much you don't give up, there are just some holes which are too big to dig your way out of. And that was the story for the Havre High girls basketball team Thursday night inside the HHS gymnasium. The Blue Ponies fell behind Class AA rival Great Falls High 20-2 after one quarter, and though HHS gave a valiant effort from there, it wasn't enough as the Bison left Havre with a 53-33 win. "They (Bison) did a nice job...
GREAT FALLS - The Havre Blue Ponies have gone 25 years without winning the Ole Goat and after two shots barely missed in the final seconds of Thursday night's winner-take-all game for the trophy - it will remain at Great Falls High for at least one more year. From start to finish, the Havre High boys basketball team played some of its best basketball of the season Thursday night in the Swarthout Fieldhouse, but in the end, it just wasn't enough to take down the Bison, who...
The Glacier Nationals have gone some time without winning a game, but with a trip to Billings on tap this weekend, they will have as good a chance as any they have had in the past three months. That's because the Nationals last victory in the Frontier Division of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League, came on Oct. 10 when the team defeated Billings by the score of 5-2. And recently when the Nationals went to Billings two weeks ago, they led in back-to-back games against the...
