Havre Daily News staff People who served in the armed forces during the Vietnam war can contact the office of U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., to reserve a 50th anniversary commemorative pin the veteran will present at ceremonies in Havre, Glasgow, Sidney and Miles City. “This pin is a lasting memento of the thanks we have as a nation and a reminder of the service and sacrifice made by tens of thousands of Montanans and their families,” said Zinke, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL. “I encourage all of Montana’s Vietnam War veterans, or...
If you ever find yourself on the other side of the Pacific homesick for Montana beef, you may soon be able to indulge at a local restaurant or supermarket in China. In a game-changing move, China recently announced that it would end the ban on United States beef imports for the first time since 2003. This long-overdue decision signals a tremendous boon to Montana’s economy and a milestone decision in a vigorous campaign. China is the second largest beef import market in the world. This May, I led a Congressional Delegation t...
Election to the State Auditor’s Office means the individual will serve as insurance commissioner for Montana. This person will play a critical role in setting policy which will affect nearly every man, woman and child in our state. Whether through health, life, homeowners, automobile, workers’ compensation insurance, or the myriad investment products available, everyone in our state is impacted by this office. The Auditor’s Office provides for the licensing and oversight of the firms selling insurance and investment produ...
It is a good thing you have me to think of these things. It took a long time but I finally have the weather figured out. For years I have stated that weather forecasters use the dart board method. They follow a probability theory that some ding-bat engineer has worked up into a chart which a graphics specialist transferred to a giant dart board. So the meteorologist is blindfolded, turned in circles until dizzy, pointed toward the board, handed a dart. Wherever it lands, that is the forecast for the day. I used to sneer that...
Editor, When we go to the polls, how well do we really know those who are candidates for office? Do we know them or do we just know about them? Have we checked their positions on various issues? Better yet, do they have a voting record we can look at? Also, what is their life experience? What part has education played a role, whether it be a college degree or the years spent serving others? How has their workplace been part of their training so that they might be able to relate to their constituents? Stephanie Hess has a...
Editor My vote for Montana’s only U.S. representative stands firmly with Denise Juneau. I believe that government’s primary responsibility is to protect the common — the public’s domain and rights. Included in the common are public land, quality education and equal opportunity. Public lands: Both candidates claim that they want to keep public lands public. However, the Republican Party supports land transfer in both state and national platforms, and Zinke has voted to transfer the management of our national forests to poli...
Editor, On Sept. 30, the University of Montana has recently become the very first university in the nation to incorporate battery-powered buses into their transportation system, and it was a huge step toward their goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2020. These zero-emission buses are paving the way for environmental stewardship within the university system; not only do these buses provide clean transportation, but people are becoming aware of the impacts humans have on the environment. The need for public transportation in...
Editor, The initiative I-177 banning trapping on public land is just a start on what is to come. This initiative is backed by anti-hunting/fishing groups of individuals who in the end want all hunting, trapping and fishing banned. Should a bill like this ever be passed, our state would see an increase in wildlife diseases, overpopulation and needless death. I enjoy our Beaver Creek county park very much. Should I-177 pass, we would see an increase in beaver destruction on our beautiful trees and more dams built by these roden...

The disabled veteran or active armed forces member must be working with an organization that uses hunting as part of the rehabilitation process. While one cannot choose the organization to receive a donated license, the disabled veteran or armed forces member who receives the license will be a Purple Heart recipient and...

The annual bye week in the Frontier Conference is over. Now, the race for the conference title is really on. In all honesty, it’s been on since day one, but with all of the parity in the Frontier this season, it’s obvious that the conference title is most likely going to come down to the last two weeks of the season, and more than one team will likely have a say in who wins it. Montana Tech and Southern Oregon, the two teams picked to compete for the title this season, sta...
