But, MSU-N gets a shot to return the favor as the No. 21 Skylights (20-8) host the Saints (14-13) in a Frontier quarterfinal game. The game has been m...
BILLING (AP) — Advocacy groups said Friday that a yearlong investigation of Montana's corrections system found "systemic" mistreatment of mentally ill prisoners, including their placement in solitary confinement for months or even years and the routine denial of needed medicines. The findings were detailed in a letter to state officials from the American Civil Liberties Union of Montana and Disability Rights Montana. The ACLU warned it will sue the state if changes aren't made. ACLU attorney Anna Conley said the problems w...
BILLINGS (AP) — Attorneys for a former Montana teacher who raped a 14-year-old student argued Friday that his 30 days in prison were enough punishment, even as a judicial oversight panel sought the censure of the judge in the case over what it called an unlawful sentence. Prosecutors want to send freed rapist Stacey Dean Rambold of Billings back to prison. They say he should have served a minimum of four years after pleading guilty last year to sexual assault without consent. In a legal brief setting up their appeal, l...
"This is my new horse Taz," says I. "What kind of a name is Taz?" says John. "I dunno," says I. "It's just the one he came with." "I don't like it," says John. "It's just a name," says I. "Sounds like Tasmanian Devil. Doesn't bode well for the future," says John. "Well, maybe he's a Tasmanian Angel," says I. "Ha, ha, haw!" says John, as he ends up getting the last laugh after all. The list of this horse's apparently uncontrollable quirks is long - from his joy of packing...
It’s been a good week, so let’s stick to the laurels: An article on the Havre Daily News University Page this week reminded us of the value to Havre of radio station KNMC. It provides an around-the-clock eclectic mixture of music. We’d like to hear more live voices on the station. There are already some professors, students and community residents who deejay on the station. We hope there will be more. Because of the work of North Central Montana Transit and other agencies, people will soon be able to take the bus from Fort...

The Republican candidates for the state House of Representatives all made similar calls during campaigning Sunday, for local voters to keep this part of Montana red in the Legislature. Incumbent Rep. Kris Hansen of Havre said Sunday she has had the distinction of serving under both Gov. Brian Schweitzer and Gov. Steve Bullock, both Democrats, and has seen 149 vetoes in her two terms. That is likely to continue in the 2015 session, she said, as Bullock serves out the end of his first term. “I’m not telling you that to dis...
The new chair of the U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee said Thursday that Native Americans in Montana face challenges — but if governments and people work together, those challenges can be opportunities for growth. “I would say the two major challenges out there is unemployment and health care,” Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said during a telephone press conference from Washington. “I think both of those can be dealt with. I think there’s some modifications that need to be made while we’re respecting their sovereignty...
The daily meeting at Havre Walmart this morning turned into a special treat for employees. Department heads received lollipops and a round of applause from the staff and board members of the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line. And they got hit with a snap quiz. The cause for the celebration was a $30,000 grant the club received for its building program from the state Walmart operation. The club has worked well with the Havre Walmart, said Rachel Dean, the club's endowment direct...
