Kim Cripps was at the nerve center for Havre Pride activities Saturday morning. That's not unusual. For more than two decades, she's been organizing the effort to clean up the city twice a year - at springtime and the weekend before Festival Days. Community groups were invited to fan out throughout the community and pick a summer's worth of trash that had accumulated in open spaces, across fields and on streets throughout Havre. They were supposed to come between 9 a.m. and...
Signs that read “Havre Welcomes Canadians” still grace the windows of stores and restaurants throughout the city, but with their currency falling in value, area businesses say they are seeing fewer Canadians. “It's been real heavy,” said Scott Young, owner of Norman’s, a western clothing and apparel store on 3rd Avenue. “They're not coming down anymore.” The Canadian dollar as of Friday afternoon is worth 75 cents to the U.S dollar, and has been experiencing a decline in value over the past year. Unlike the U.S dollar, the st...
Havre Pride wasn’t the only project that had a successful weekend. Recycle Hi-Line had its monthly recycle drive at Pacific Steel & Recycling. More people are bringing materials and more are separating the material by class, more recycling is being accomplished and there is less work for volunteers to do, according to Christy Keto of Recycle Hi-Line. People were anxious to come out, she said, because it was a gorgeous day. She credited the work of “a hardworking handful of volunteers and grateful recyclers” “We appreci...

There is no doubt that Havre High quarterback Dane Warp broke the Montana record for most touchdown passes for 11-man football Friday against Miles City. Yet, there is still some debate about whether or not Warp has broken the Montana High School Association record for passing yards. As far as the MHSA record book is concerned, the record coming into the season was 8,907 yards, a mark set by former Billings Senior quarterback Mark Desin. Entering his senior season, Warp had...
The Havre High football team went to Miles City looking to make amends for a slow start to the 2015 season. Yet, what ensued after the opening kickoff, is the exact opposite of what the Blue Ponies had intended. The game between the two long time non-conference rivals was competitive for a quarter, then the Cowboys showed their superiority in a 54-28 rout last Friday night at Denton Stadium in Miles City. “Miles City played very well. They were well-coached and sound f...

Individually, the Pony girls got a stellar round from senior Randi Gabrielsen, who shot 91 to place third overall. Fellow senio...
If the Montana State University-Northern Lights are going to break out for their first win of the 2015 season, they're going to have to wait another week. Because the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears were having none of it. RMC shut out the Lights 46-0 Saturday at Herb Klindt Field in Billings, sending Northern to an 0-3 start to the season. The Lights also fell to 0-2 in the Frontier Conference. And while Northern played the Battlin' Bears (2-1, 1-1) tough in the numbers...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team was looking to use the last weekend of the non-conference season to fine tune, and get ready for Frontier Conference play. And after four more tough matches, the Skylights accomplished that goal. MSU-N went 1-1 in two matches Friday in Jamestown, North Dakota, before moving on to Valley City, North Dakota, for two more wins Saturday. The 3-1 weekend at the North Dakota tourney gives MSU-N an 8-8 record after four weeks of n...
