    Alex Ross|Updated Oct 21, 2015

    John Kelleher|Updated Oct 21, 2015

    South side Havre resident Dave Kaasa got a surprise when he looked out in his yard Tuesday. There was a coyote. He called Havre police for advice. They said they could do nothing.

Kaasa said FWP told him that they often sedate other animals and take them into the wild and set them free, but their policy is not to do that with coyotes, Kaasa said. At first, Kaasa said, the...

    John Kelleher|Updated Oct 21, 2015

    Enrollment in Havre Public School has increased since a year ago. The increase encourages school officials, who have seen slight enrollment decreases in recent years.

  • Mariani piling up the return yards

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 21, 2015

    Late last season, the Chicago Bears brought in former Havre High great Marc Mariani for a reason — to solidify the kick return game. And, at the end of 2014 season Mariani did just that. Now, in his second season, and first full season with the Bears, Mariani is doing more than just solidifying the Bears’ kick return game — he’s owning it. Last Sunday, Mariani had one of his best return games of the season, as he returned two kickoffs for 50 yards and averaged nearly 10 yard...

  • George Ferguson Column: Havre High on a real stampede right now

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 21, 2015

    In football, at any level, it’s hard to win five games in one season. The sports is just that difficult — unless you’re the New England Patriots anyway. And winning five games in a row — well that’s even harder. But that’s exactly what the Havre High football team has done. Heading into the final regular season game on the schedule, a non-conference bout at Polson Friday night, the Blue Ponies haven’t tasted defeat in over a month.
