    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 28, 2017

    It seems as though there is rarely a year when the Havre Daily News All Hi-Line Boys Team isn’t loaded with eye-popping, high-scoring, star-studded players. And, after an exciting winter of boys high school basketball on the Hi-Line, this year’s version is no different. The 2017 All Hi-Line Boys Team features just three repeat performers and, for the first time in six years, doesn’t feature a freshman. However, the team is still loaded with outstanding players, inclu...

    Paul Dragu|Updated Mar 27, 2017

    Martha Hernandez of Havre is suing Hill County for $1 million on grounds of gross incompetence by the county attorney. The incompetence of Hill County Attorney Jessica Cole-Hodgkinson, the amended complaint says, has potentially endangered the life and well-being of Hernandez.

Cole-Hodgkinson has said the reason for the dropped charges was...

  • Reasons to get excited - the weather

    Paul Dragu|Updated Mar 27, 2017

    I realized quickly after moving to Montana people here talked about the weather a lot. It was sort of strange, funny, and a little lame. History is not exactly replete with titans of their time known for their passion of cumulus clouds and chinook winds. Like air and fingerprints, weather just is. Aside from farmers, whose livelihood depends on the weather, I thought anyone else who loves to ramble on about the weather does so because their lives are so eventless, so uninteresting, that they entertain their sad selves by...
