What a state official described as a disaster of...
By Emily Mayer Autumn had just arrived and preparations for winter were in full swing in Havre 100 years ago. In war news, it was announced that all merchant vessels more than 2,500 tons were being requisitioned for the war effort and prices for carrying government supplies was going to be regulated by the government. Montana was among the first contributing recruits for the cause, the world's wheat crop made a slight gain, American chemists were speeding up production of...
Straight up front I have to say that I do not believe in the use of torture. Torture is inhumane. Torture is an ineffective tool in bringing about true change. And I believe that the pain inflicted with torture actually scars the spirit of the torturer. On the other hand I do believe in justice and the righteousness of an eye for an eye — so I bought a hand-held, battery operated bug zapper to wreak vengeance on every fly, wasp, gnat, spider or box elder bug that invades my h...

You know, Lord, sometimes we need a bit of encouragement to carry on, no matter what we’re “struggling” with. Occasionally help comes from the most unexpected places. It was interesting reading a devotional about how death can be kind. The unnamed author mentioned that she was having a hard time dealing with her husband’s death even though his death had happened several years before. One day while walking to her mailbox, she passed a towering pine tree, hearing a sudden crashing of needles and limbs, she stopped! Whoa! D...
John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Nutrition, housing and transportation are three practical areas that need to be considered as major parts of the aging process. In our community we have Meals on Wheels available. Some neighboring towns that have Senior Citizen Centers also offer this program. I know that Jesus fed thousands of people with a small quantity of fish and bread but that was a miracle. People need regular nutrition. I have friends and...
Out our way, there are times when even big old Goliath knows to follow the lead of someone else. While Babe is a much smaller horse, Goliath knows that in many ways she is smarter and wiser, and so he will follow her lead. When we come to that terrifying "monster" culvert on the nature trail in Beaver Creek Park, Babe always leads the way. She knows it is just a small tile of harmless plastic allowing the runoff to go under the trail instead of over it, but to Goliath, it is...

What a difference a week makes. After the first Saturday of Big Sky Conference football, the Montana State Bobcats and Montana Grizzlies find themselves in two very different places. The Bobcats, who got off to an 0-2 start, are now 1-0 in Big Sky play and have a dominant road win over defending Big Sky champion North Dakota to their credit. Now, the Cats have a chance to do even more damage, as they host Weber State in a huge Big Sky showdown Saturday in Bozeman. The No. 20...
The Havre High cross country teams have both have their share of team and individual success stories so far this season. But now, both Blue Pony teams will face their toughest test of 2017 as they will be in Missoula for the Mountain West Classic. While the Class A state meet ranks higher in importance than the Mountain West, there is no other meet quite like it in the state of Montana. Not only will it feature the top runners from across the state, but the race will have...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights get a break from the rigors of Frontier Conference play this week. But the Lights won't get a break from their ongoing search for their first win of the 2017 season. Northern (0-4) heads east this Saturday for a non-conference game against Mayville State (0-4). The Comets, of the North Star Athletic Association, are also in search of their first win of the fall. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. M.D.T. in Mayville, North Dakota. And...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team has already shown it can toe-to-toe with some really good teams. And while the final scores weren't what the Skylights were hoping for, they proved it again, this time, against the best team in the Frontier Conference. Thursday night in Armory Gymnasium, the Skylights were swept by the No. 17 Montana Tech Orediggers, by scores of 25-20, 26-24, 25-18, dropping MSU-N to 2-3 in conference play. But, as far as sweeps go, the...
After a slow start to the season, the Havre High volleyball team came into Thursday's match with CMR on a three-match win streak. However, against the Class AA opponent, the Blue Ponies didn't have enough to push it to four. The Ponies (0-2, 3-7) had actually won nine straight sets before heading to Great Falls, as they knocked off Conrad, Browning and Cut Bank in consecutive matches, without dropping a single game. However, that streak ended Thursday, as the Ponies dropped...
For the Havre High football team, the motivation at this point in the season is simple - it's all about getting that elusive first win.

The two teams will meet for kickoff tonight at 7 inside Blue Pony Stadium. "It's going to be a fun matchup," HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. "That's the thing about playing this...
When it comes to high school football, every single game is important. After all, there are only so many. But there is something extra special about playing at home, especially when it's homecoming and you're a senior. For the Havre High football team, the homecoming game, which is one of just two remaining home games for the Blue Ponies, always carries extra significance and with the team sitting at 0-5, the chance to break through for the first win of the season, makes it...
