Andrea Gilham looked a little tired after running three miles Saturday morning. She took part in the Family Violence Stops Here Fun Run/Walk. Andrea is a sometimes-runner, but it was more than the run that prompted her to drive in from Fort Belknap for the run/walk which started and ended at the RC Model Flying Club field south of the city. "My sister died at the hands of domestic violence," she said. "Oct. 29, 1997." Her death is coming up on its 15th anniversary and it's...

When Pat Conway was drafted on Feb. 6, 1958, he was about to begin one of the most interesting parts of his life, one he still talks about today. During his time in the U.S. Army, he struck up a friendship with Elvis Presley, the ultra-famous rock and blues star. Conway regaled the audience at the annual meeting/dinner of the H. Earl and Margaret Turner Clack Memorial Museum Foundation Saturday with stories about the time he spent with Elvis. "You may think we are at the Best...
When Brian Harris attended Havre High School, he never liked English and hated writing. So who would have thought that years later he would be writing a book about his experiences as a police officer. But Harris was back in his hometown Saturday speaking to a group at the Havre-Hill County Library about his first book, "I'll Spell It Out." He read the first chapter of his book, which tells a blood-curdling story about a murder. One of the police officers in the case got a...
Fired Great Northern Fair Manager Mike Sharp questions whether his firing last week was done in a valid meeting. He is asking interested people to come to the Great Northern Fair Board’s regular meeting Tuesday night. In a statement issued Friday, said he understands there was no notice of the meeting Thursday at which the board voted to fire him. “It is my understanding there was no published notice, and it was not posted anywhere that I’m aware of, so I don’t know if it was a valid meeting or not,” Sharp said. He said he b...

The Walk is what they call it, and it’s always a special thing for the seniors of the Havre High football team. But the fact that the Blue Ponies got to take the walk right after winning their first conference championship in four years made this year’s version even more meaningful. Eleven football players participated in the walk following Havre’s 34-12 win over Lewistown Friday night at Blue Pony Stadium. And for the likes of Dane Warp, Nate Rismon, Logan Pleninger, Travi...
Life on the road in the Frontier Conference is never easy. And it was especially tough on the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team Saturday night. In a big rivalry match against the University of Great Falls Argos Saturday night in Great Falls, the Skylights played well, but couldn’t overtake the Argos in a four-set loss. UGF prevailed in a tight match by scores of 23-25, 25-23, 25-21 and 25-17. The loss dropped the Skylights to 1-6 in the Frontier, as MSU-N also...
For the second straight weekend, the Glacier Nationals got some production from their offense. And for the second straight weekend, that equated to a win. The Nationals, which hosted the Gillette Wild in back-to-back games Friday and Saturday night inside the Havre Ice Dome, walked away with a well-deserved split after an 8-4 loss Friday, which was followed with a 6-4 win Saturday. The two teams, which both play in the Frontier Division of the North American Tier 3 Hockey...
The Montana State University-Northern offense once again looked much improved in its latest game. And for a half, the Lights were right in their latest Frontier Conference battle. Unfortunately, the game was a full 60 minutes and in the end, the nationally ranked Montana Tech Orediggers were too much for the Lights. On Saturday in Butte, MSU-N fell to the No. 13 Orediggers 40-0, in spite of holding Tech to just 13 points in the first half and just two offensive touchdowns the...
The Havre High cross country had one more meet, before running at state and it was at the Central A Divisional meet this past Saturday in Browning. Running against all their Central A competitors for one of the few times this season, both Havre teams performed admirably. The HHS boys took home a second-place finish at the meet. The Havre girls managed to finish fifth. “The kids ran extremely well on a technical course,” HHS head coach Josh Holt said, “Overall, I thought that...
Havre High head volleyball coach Tamecia Jarvis has done a great job of challenging her team this season. And this weekend, she challenged the Blue Ponies to beat both of their non-conference opponents, and HHS rose to that challenge, sweeping both Conrad and Choteau. The impressive thing about the Ponies’ back-to-back wins at the HHS gymnasium Saturday is that neither the Cowgirls nor the Bulldogs managed to take away a single set from the Ponies, who improved their o...
Much like their season, the Havre Blue Ponies’ win over Lewistown wasn’t perfect. There were ups and downs. But in the end, the result was a victory and with it came Havre’s first conference title in football in four years. On a sublime autumn night in Blue Pony Stadium Friday, the Ponies used a mix of explosive plays on offense as well as a bend but don’t break defense to dispose of Lewistown 34-12.
