  • What direction should Beaver Creek Park go?

    Tim Leeds|Updated Aug 7, 2013

    Two recurring themes again cropped up during a lengthy and sometimes contentious Hill County Park Board meeting: What future should be pursued for the park, and are park users all treated the same. Renelle Braaten, attending her first board meeting since the Hill County Commission appointed her in July to replace retiring board member Mel Gomke, said she wants to know the consensus of Hill County residents: Should the park be marketed to draw in people from out of the area, or should it be focused on local use? “That’s wha...

  • Judge tells ATP to pay state's attorney fees

    Updated Aug 6, 2013

    HELENA (AP) — A judge says a secretive group known for bucking campaign finance laws has to pay the state's attorney fees in one ongoing case. District Judge Jeffrey Sherlock said in an order issued last week that American Tradition Partnership must pay roughly $10,000. Sherlock says he suspects the attorney general's office could have asked for much more given the amount of time spent on the case. Sherlock ruled last year in that case that ATP acted as a political committee in the elections, and not as the educational o...

  • Local Golf Report: Sign up for Havre Wrestling Club Tourney

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 6, 2013

    Last week I reported that it was the final week of the men’s league regular season at Prairie Farms Golf Course. I guess I was wrong, and for yours truly, whose team has yet to secure a playoff berth, I’m glad my information regarding the end of the season was incorrect. Instead, tonight and Wednesday night will be the final men’s league regular season rounds, and the playoff race is still very much wide open. Eight teams have already secured playoff berths in the first half...

  • Mariani's comeback making big strides

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 6, 2013

    Marc Mariani’s first training camp with the Tennessee Titans, now nearly four years ago, was a difficult one. At the time, Mariani was a seventh-round draft pick out of Montana and was considered a long shot to make the Titans’ 53-man roster his first time out. But in fact, Mariani did make the roster that summer, and the rest of his rookie season is now part of impressive history, as the former Havre Blue Pony shattered Tennessee return records and was selected to the Pro...

  • FEMA suggests anti-flooding efforts at park

    Tim Leeds|Updated Aug 6, 2013

    Studies to reduce damage from what seems to be almost annual flood disasters could be in Beaver Creek Park’s future. Two members of the Federal Emergency Management Agency team helping assess damage from this spring’s flooding and write up project work orders to repair that damage attended a Hill County Park Board meeting Monday, and one made the suggestion that studies might show how to prevent damage at some sites in the future. This year is the third year in four that FEMA officials are assessing damage at Beaver Cre...
