  • From the fields of Chouteau County to the floor of the Senate

    Derek Hann|Updated Sep 14, 2019

    U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., probably spent his time during the congressional August recess differently than most senators. Tester, the only active farmer in the U.S. Senate, used the break to harvest crops on his farm west of Big Sandy. Tester found time to give the Havre Daily News an interview Sept. 3. But when the reporter and photographer arrived, he was busy loading grain and had no time to talk. He invited the reporter to ride with him in the grain truck and conduct...

  • World-acclaimed writer comes to the Hi-Line

    Derek Hann|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    There is something really special about small town libraries, and Montana, that attracts many people from all different walks of life, Jamie Ford said. Ford, an internationally recognized and New York Times best-selling author, said that, although his books are well known across the world, he still enjoys coming to rural libraries in Montana because of the people. "They are really vital to those communities and they are really well supported usually," he said. Ford, who has...

  • People share stories, support at Suicide Awareness Walk

    Rachel Jamieson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    "Catharsis. What an amazing word," Mark Cichosz said Thursday before Havre's Fifth Annual Suicide Awareness Walk. "I really like that word, not because it makes me sound smart, not because it's a big word, but because of what it means. Catharsis is any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal and restoration." Cichosz, the Suicide Awareness Walk keynote speaker and member of the Hill County Suicide Awareness Coalition, was speaking in the presentations before the...

  • Celebrating History: New county, farm aid and crime

    Updated Sep 13, 2019

    By Emily Mayer The creation of a new county to be called Liberty was progressing, according to the Sept. 6, 1919, edition of The Havre Plaindealer. Attempts to lessen opposition to the split were being made and implemented, but those organizing the meetings were very hush-hush about whether or not they had even met, and attempted to deflect blame onto the International Workers of the World, a.k.a. the “Wobblies.” Which didn’t work much, considering there were few Wobblies in the area and news reports of their activ...

  • View from the North 40: Another edition of barnyards gone wild

    Pam Burke|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    The internet is full of farm animals that have gone wild in the past two weeks, and I’m not talking about Youtube videos of farm cats being all crazy cute and stuff. I am talking about the livestock participating in shenanigans that could get someone’s eye poked out. In no particular order, we have: 14 goats and sheep, all employees of a Virginia landscaping business who walked off the job sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. The four-legged work crew was sup...

    Tim Leeds|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    With the clock ticking on this year’s session, the members of Montana’s congressional delegation are continuing to work on passing federal recognition of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., said Thursday he is working to include his bill — which already passed the House in a 403-21 vote March 26 — in the House version of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. He asked the leaders of the House Armed Services Committee to inlcude his Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians...

  • One last Frontier tune-up for Northern volleyball

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    It's been a long road for the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. And given the fact the Skylights will open Frontier Conference play on the road next weekend, it's by no means over. But the long haul of non-conference matches almost is, and it comes to an end tonight when the Skylights (6-6) visit the Dickinson State Blue Hawks in Dickinson, North Dakota. Tonight's match is a renewal of a rivalry that hasn't been played out since 2015, when the Blue Hawks were...

  • Lights finally finished with the long road home

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    The journey the Montana State University-Northern Lights have taken to finally get the chance to charge onto the field inside Blue Pony Stadium has been a long one. And, not just because the Lights opened the 2019 slate with back-to-back road games. No, this journey started the minute the Lights left the field in Havre after a season-ending loss to the College of Idaho. So, excuse the Lights if they're just a little excited for Saturday's home-opener against the No. 25...

  • Big road tests await Bobcats, Grizzlies

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    In the second half of their home-openers last Saturday night, things might have seemed easy for both the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats. After all, the Grizzlies turned a 17-16 deficit at halftime into a 61-17 win over North Alabama, while the Bobcats exploded for 21 points in the third quarter to end up routing then 13th-ranked Southeast Missouri State under the bright lights of Bobcat Stadium. Both the Griz and Cats then moved up in the FCS Stats Poll this...

  • Ponies look to keep the ball rolling in Hardin

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    The Havre High football team had a great game in week two against the Glendive Red Devils and now the Ponies will move into week three and play another familiar opponent in Hardin. Havre will play the Bulldogs tonight at 7 in the Hardin Stadium. Last time the two teams met; the Blue Ponies shut out the Bulldogs 24-0 in their season-opener. But with a new year, things can be different. Havre Head Coach Ryan Gatch knows this all too well. "When you play down in the jungle in...

  • Friday Night Lights: At North Star, it's like father, like son

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    North Star football has had many ups and downs in recent years, but the Knights have always been an exciting team to watch. Last season wasn't the best for the program, as they did not have enough players to compete in a couple of games during the season. It was a heartbreaking moment for many of the Knights' players and fans. But this year, North Star is back and ready to go into each Six-Man game with a competitive spirit and heart. The Knights have a lot to look forward to,...

  • MSU-N Game Day: His dedication is fueling the Lights

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Sep 13, 2019

    Aarron Thompson Havre Daily News sports [email protected] College football, at any level, the season and the games within it are always significant, especially the first home game. The game comes down to every play, every decision, and in the end comes down to one thing: the team. College football players put everything out on the field, but home games always seem to raise the bar for every player. From the first to the last home game, players make it all count....

  • Quick Pics: Joining together for God's Work

    Updated Sep 13, 2019

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Sep 13, 2019

    You know, Lord, it seems like just about everyone knows that this month and the next three months all end with a “brr” and our friend shivered when she mentioned it. We all know that our weather will soon be getting colder as the days/weeks slip away. It’s great to know that our “time” of days, nights, weeks, months and years are Your invention, Lord, and that the seventh day is for rest. Oh — and the moon — one advent and exit and we could call it the silvery moon circuit. Full moon is coming up and further along, Willia...

  • Out Our Way: Charlie's wheelchair?

    Updated Sep 13, 2019

    Out our way, more than a few of us show up for church walking stiffly or with a pronounced limp. Some even come in wheelchairs. You take old Charlie now — after “Freckles” went ballistic on him while moving cows up on a friend’s ranch in the Bear Paws, Charlie ended up in the emergency room. That “wreck” and other issues took Charlie out of the saddle and into a wheelchair for his last years of life I was recovering from open heart surgery a few years before and was going to physical therapy at the hospital, when one day Cha...

  • Pastor's Corner: Authentic hospitality

    Updated Sep 13, 2019

    Last week, I talked about the famous biblical duo of Mary and Martha, but today I am going to focus on an even more well-known Mary and her cousin Elizabeth. Right after Mary finds out from the angel Gabriel that she is going to conceive and give birth to the Son of God, Mary departs with haste. This story is so familiar to us that I think we sometimes lose sight of or forget just how strange, unfamiliar, and unexpected that experience was for Mary. So she wastes no time; she hits the road and heads for the hills as they...
