The manager of the Hill County Public Cemetery District said that unless voters approve a mill levy increase for the district some local cemeteries might have to rely on volunteers for their upkeep. Merrill Gray, the district manager, and cemetery district board members Tony Reum and Kathy Doney spoke to the Pachyderm Club Friday in Havre about the four-mill levy increase that will be on the ballot in the May 25 special election. Gray said that unless voters approve the mill...
The Montana State University Northern women's basketball team gave its all in the Frontier Conference championship game, but still, it wasn't enough to beat the Lewis and Clark State Warriors. The Skylights certainly didn't make it easy for the second-ranked Warriors to take home the Frontier Conference Championship, but a tough shooting stretch in the fourth quarter, in which No. 12 MSU-N didn't score for nearly six minutes, was costly, and LC State held on for the 57-50 win...

Editor, The Montana state Legislature is proposing to cut almost 100 million dollars from Medicaid health care services. A majority of these cuts will impact essential personal care services for our fellow Montanans who are elderly or low-income adults, and children with disabilities. The Department of Public Health and Human Services and the governor’s office are supporting cuts to these services basing their decision on unspent service dollars in 2016, which appear to be “excess.” What DPHHS is failing to consider is the s...
This week was a catch-up week at home completing all the farm-type things like oil changes and moving equipment. When spring hits, things need to be in the right place; and I need to make sure Judy’s car is ready for the next two months that I will not be home full-time. I was in Havre Tuesday for the regular noon meeting, but this time I was in person and not on video. Members of the public were present, along with different agencies. Havre High School was represented by staff, the student Leadership High School, their p...

While the Montana State University-Northern Women’s basketball team ended their home season in style with a 44-42 win over Montana Western Saturday inside the Armory Gymnasium, the win also put the Skylights in the Frontier Conference Championship for the second time in three years. However, to win the Frontier, No. 12 Northern will need to beat No. 2 Lewis- Clark State, a team that has defeated the Skylights on three separate occasions this season. Tip-off time is set for 8...
The Northern B boys divisional basketball tournament has always been known as a brutal, three-day grind, and one of the toughest tournaments in all of Montana high school basketball. For the Rocky Boy Stars, the 2017 Northern B was all of that. The District 1B champion Stars came up one game shy of a Class B state tournament berth, after falling to the Choteau Bulldogs Saturday morning in Cut Bank. The Stars started the tournament with a rousing win over rival Harlem Thursday...
HELENA — When it comes to the Frontier Conference, the Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team experienced some highs this season. But the Lights also hit some lows. And that was the story of their final game of the 2016-17 season, a Frontier semifinal loss to the No. 4 Carroll College Fighting Saints. After taking the lead on the Saints early in the second half, the Lights succumbed to a 25-5 Carroll run in a 72-57 loss Saturday night inside the Carroll P.E...
When it comes to March sports in Montana, there is a lot more happening than just basketball and this past weekend, the Havre Ice Hawks and three other teams were proof of that as they took part in the State B Montana High School hockey tournament. The tournament, which was held inside the Havre Ice Dome from Friday to Sunday, saw the Ice Hawks wind up in second place after losing the championship game to Bozeman 5-1 Sunday. Before that, the Ice Hawks played three games in rou...
The Havre High girls basketball team was on the doorstep of the Class A state championship game this past weekend in Butte. And after taking a lead in the third quarter against Columbia Falls in the state semifinals, it looked like Havre might just get there. But there is a reason why Columbia Falls didn’t lose a single game all season to Class A competition and why the Wildkats went on to win the Class A state championship Saturday night. And after falling behind 25-24 to t...
Beating a team four times is never easy, especially when that team is as good as the UM-Western Bulldogs is. But the Montana State University-Northern Skylights are a good team, too. And despite trailing by as many as 10 points in the second half against the Bulldogs in the Frontier Conference semifinals Friday inside the Armory Gymnasium, they won, 44-42 thanks to late-game heroics from Jacy Thompson. "I am really proud of this team," Northern head coach Chris Mouat said.... Full story
