  • Vagaries of wind and weather

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Sep 18, 2014

    Egads! Another hurricane. Last week Hurricane Norberto blew past, waved “hello” and left unwelcome gifts of havoc. This week, Hurricane Odile, not to be left behind, followed the same path. Fortunately, we in Mazatlan experienced only the side effects. When speaking of weather, it is a horrible thing to say we are lucky. When hail strikes the plains, one wheat farmer is wiped out and the neighbor’s fields go unscathed. Weather isn’t “fair.” Our particular neighbor is Cabo San...

  • Festival Days packed with local sports fun

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 18, 2014

    Depending on the year, one of the big highlights of Havre’s annual Festival Days Weekend is football.

Both the Blue Ponies and Lights football teams will be on the...

  • Hi-Line Athlete Profile: Sydney Stolearcius, MSU-N Volleyball

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 18, 2014

    Sydney Stolearcius is a big city girl from north of the border. And while she is small in stature, she packs a mighty punch when it comes to playing defense on the volleyball court. At just 5-5, Stolearcius, a sophomore libero for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights, came to Havre from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, two years ago. By college volleyball standards, she's not just small in size, but she's still young, too. However, playing defense alongside four-year...
