In the tough landscape of Frontier Conference women’s basketball, it’s hard to find anything better than beating a league rival by 41 points. Unless you turn around the next night and win an emotional, hard-fought NAIA Game of the Week against an arch rival. And that’s exactly what the Montana State University-Northern Skylights did on the opening weekend of Frontier play. Northern dismantled Montana Tech 78-37 Friday night in the Armory Gymnasium, then, the No. 15 Skylights o...
More than 80 Boy Scouts from from Havre to Malta gathered at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Saturday morning to get merit badges in some unique subjects. The program was the third annual Hi-Line Merit Badge College. Scouts had a chance to learn about a variety of topics - ranging from sustainability and environmental projects to welding, safety and game design, said Bill Lanier, Hi-Line Advancement chair for the Boy Scouts of America. Students were taken to Mo...
HELENA (AP) — As the 114th Congress convened this week, U.S. Sen. Jon Tester said he isn't daunted by his new status as the lone Montana Democrat in Congress or by the fact that his party is now the minority in the Senate. "It will be similar to the state Legislature days when I spent time on the minority," Tester said. So far the ranking Democrat, both parties and his Montana Republican cohorts, U.S. Sen. Steve Daines and U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke, are "playing nice" with each other, Tester said. Tester, Daines and Zinke have c...

Freshman U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., has a friendly but serious bet with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on the results of tonight’s College national football championship. Zinke, a center for the Oregon Ducks in 1980-84, will wear a scarlet and gray tie Tuesday, the colors of Ohio State, should the Buckeyes succeed in tonight’s first national championship game in Dallas. And the Speaker will wear an Oregon Duck’s tie should the Ducks take the championship game. U.S. Reps. Pat Tiber and Steve Stivers of Ohio and Rep....
The We Love Northern Ball is around the corner and will employ a new theme this year. The ball is one of Montana State University-Northern’s premier fundraising events and all the money gained at the ball will go to scholarships for future and current Northern students. The theme is “The Roaring ’20s,” said Jim Bennett, the Alumni Foundation director and one of the organizers of the event. He and Rachel Dean, the secretary to the chancellor, put together the theme and events planning for the Feb. 5 evening. “I’m getting a lot...
Special to the Daily News Despite fielding one of its smallest teams all season, the Havre High School speech and debate team saw success in Lewistown over the weekend, though not enough to beat perennial powerhouse Belgrade High School. Havre took second to Belgrade’s first in the Class A competition, with host Fergus County High School coming in third and Browning High School taking fourth. “I’m pretty happy with how the Havre students did,” head coach Tim Leeds said. “We lost 11 competitors who planned to go to Lewistown t...

Editor: I would like to thank the men who helped me out Tuesday afternoon when my car got stuck in the snow on West 2nd Street. It took them a while to get me back on the road again, and I am grateful. Bless them all. Sorry I don't know any of their names. Margaret Gill Havre...
Thrivent Financial For one local organization, the new year ushers in significant change. A Thrivent chapter has been the local outreach organization for Thrivent Financial, a membership organization of Christians that offers a way to connect faith and finances for good. As a not-for-profit organization, members of Thrivent have access to programs to do good within communities. Thrivent is an organization that has been quietly supporting local organizations and families in need for decades, and a shift in organizational...
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., started his Senate career off exactly the wrong way last week when he signed on to the idea of term limits for the U.S. House and Senate. Term limits have been tried and failed in Montana, and we see no reason to extend the mistake to Washington. Under Daines’ plan, voters would be allowed to re-elect a senator once, but would be prohibited from sending a senator to Washington a third term. House members could be re-elected six times, but if voters want to put them in office for a seventh term, t...

Twins are intriguing. My maternal grandmother was a twin, and mom had twin cousins. I have twin nieces (Kimberly Renee and Kelly Rae), whom I love dearly. Being the youngest child and four years behind my brother in school, I surely spent many lonely hours on the farm. How wonderful it would have been to have had a twin of my own. Twin: a playmate ... a confidant ... a sounding board ... a best friend. I'm jealous. The Havre High School Class of 1970 was blessed to have five s...
If losing to the Montana Tech Orediggers in the Armory Gymnasium for the first time in over a decade was a bitter pill for the Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team to swallow, it was nothing compared to how the Lights felt in the locker room a mere 24 hours later. Northern suffered a gut-wrenching 80-76 defeat at the hands of the No. 21 Lewis-Clark State Warriors Saturday night in the Armory, and it was a loss the Lights thought they prevented — not once, bu...
The Havre High wrestling team has dominated the Cut Bank Invitational for the better part of a decade. And this weekend, the Blue Ponies continued that dominance by capturing their 13th consecutive team title in Cut Bank. While the Ponies did come out on top during the two-day meet that took place Friday and Saturday this past weekend in Cut Bank, it was not as easy as expected. In fact, there was a time Saturday that Havre actually trailed Kalispell Flathead before the...
Three weeks is a long time to go without competition, in any sport. And then, when a return to competition means going up against the dominant team in your sport right away, the task can be daunting. But the Havre High boys and girls swim teams handled that exact situation well as the Blue Ponies returned from the holiday break to partake in the annual Class A Invite Friday afternoon in Hardin. And while the Billings Central Rams were once again dominant, the Blue Ponies had...
The Havre High girls basketball team is very good at winning the games they are supposed to win. And while that may have been more difficult this past weekend than normal, it doesn’t change the fact that the Blue Ponies took care of business with back-to-back wins over Conrad and Lewistown. Havre opened the weekend Friday against Conrad inside the HHS gymnasium and despite a sluggish start by the favored Ponies, they were able to notch a 60-41 win over the Cowgirls. S...
The Glacier Nationals have been a work in progress this season. But, now that they are in the second half of their schedule, their development as a team and as individuals is clear to anyone watching. The improvement of the Nationals was evident Saturday night when Glacier earned its sixth win of the season by way of a 3-2 victory over the Yellowstone Quake. The win gave the Nationals a split in a two-game home set against the Quake, who defeated Glacier Friday by the score of...
It was an exciting weekend for the Havre High boys basketball team. Not only did the Blue Ponies continue their early-season dominance in the Central A Conference, but HHS also scored a last-second victory for the second time this season. The weekend started in Conrad Friday as the Ponies took on the Cowboys in non-conference action. And in a game that came down the final seconds, Havre needed some late-game heroics from Nate Rismon to escape with the 55-53 win. With the...
