  • Hi-Line Living: Reserve officers protect and serve in Havre

    Derek Hann|Updated Feb 27, 2020

    A long-standing program at the Havre Police Department is the reserve officer program, a program in which volunteers in the community don the badge of a police officer and work to assist officers in their duties and keeping the community safe. "We can never have too much help," Havre Police Department Senior Patrolman and School Resource Officer Jordan Chroniger said. "We are a smaller community, we are a smaller department and the demographics of the area can prove challengin...

    Derek Hann|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    Former state Rep. Kathleen Williams, D-Bozeman, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, was in Havre Thursday for a meet and greet event and spoke about her campaign. The seat is held by U.S. Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., who announced last year he would not be running for re-election in the House but will be running for governor of Montana. Since he announced his campaign for governor, a number of Republicans and Democrats across the state have announced their candid...

  • Roping Religion: Put what you learn into practice

    Updated Feb 21, 2020

    Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God Wants You to Win!” by world-champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. When I was growing up in Big Sandy, Montana, I had a sign made up in my room that said, “Anything is yours if you are willing to pay the price.” I don’t know if that is 100 percent true, but it made me think about paying the price and now it makes me think about counting the cost. I used to really enjoy the Garth Brooks song “Rodeo.” One of the lines in the song talked a...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Feb 21, 2020

    You know, dear Lord, the snow falls fast, Winter is on our mind. Icicles guard, the wind does moan, warm place the birds can’t find. Sparkle of frost on windowsill recaps our childhood view; we’d scratch frost off to take a peek — we saw a calf, brand new! Sometimes the sky is low and mean, snowflakes might cause a yawn; across the barn or through a rut, debates if it goes on. We’ve all been there, we’ve heard the noise, we know how winter smells. We’re seen the look and felt the cold, it’s one of winter’s...

  • Celebrating History: Blind pig cases and lots of festivities

    Updated Feb 21, 2020

    By Emily Mayer The Hill County Democrat reported in its February 19, 1920 edition that newly appointed district judge Frank Carleton had called his court calendar and among the cases were several “blind pigging” charges, involving the illegal sale and consumption of alcohol. By the released docket, Judge Carleton was going to be a very busy man. Also released was the list of men who would be serving on juries. There were no women called to serve on a jury. One hundred years ago, the “fairer sex” was expected to stay h...

  • Time to look at changing beaver management in Beaver Creek Park

    Updated Feb 21, 2020

    As you may have read in the paper, as a park board member, I have brought up to the Hill County Park Board that maybe we can look at other options besides trapping for beaver control in the park. What brought this on is that we had lost our trapper — we have been using trappers for approximately 70 years — so we needed to do something. Of course, the first thought of the board was to “find another trapper.” I suggested that maybe this would be a good time to look at other alternatives, which it appears there are...

  • Letter to the Editor - Kudos to Thompson for job well done

    Updated Feb 21, 2020

    I want to give a shoutout to the Havre Daily News photographer, Colin Thompson. He is the one walking the sidelines for two hours during our football games up and down the Hi-Line. He is the one who is crouched under the basketball hoop to catch those shots of your young people’s efforts every week. You see him in the background packing his large bag and one, two and usually three cameras. He must live out of his car to be at all the games, school functions and community events to cover our stories. I can’t wait to visit...

  • View from the North 40: My life has come to this, folks

    Pam Burke|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable by bragging about what went on in my bedroom earlier this week, or jealous of my under-the-covers escapades, but I feel the strong need to overshare: Tuesday night, I slept for six whole hours. That’s right, count ’em, six (6!) — six continuous, glorious, uninterrupted, peaceful, solid, sound hours of sleep. No getting up for the 3 a.m. potty break or just to move around, no waking up to roll over, no feline in my face...

  • Blue Ponies headed to Lewistown for regular season finales

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    All that stands between the Havre High basketball teams and the postseason is one last road trip. And the last game of the season is tonight, as the Blue Ponies head down to Lewistown to face off against the Golden Eagles to close out the regular season, and Northeast A games. The boys and girls teams have different motives this weekend, as well. The Pony boys sit at 11-6 overall and 5-2 in conference, and Lewistown is right behind them in the Northeast A, meaning the Ponies...

  • Bears, Hawks fight back

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    Early morning games at the District 9C are never easy. But they're also big games, and they were Thursday morning for the Box Elder Bears and Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hawks. Box Elder stayed alive with a 82-64 win over the Turner Tornadoes in the Havre High gymnasium to advance on in the tournament. The Bears, who lost a heartbreaker to North Star Wednesday afternoon, jumped out to a 19-9 lead over the Tornadoes, and while Turner rallied in the second quarter, Box Elder still...

  • 9C Extra: Sisterhood, dedication lifting HLP up

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    Cory Morgan did his time. He did everything he could and gave everything he had to help the Hays-Lodge Pole girls basketball team once before. But no matter the effort, success in girls hoops at HLP just never came, and especially not in the ways the boys program has seen over the years. So, when he was asked to come back and take back the girls program in Hays a few years ago, he decided to have a meeting. He needed to know the players he'd be coaching were going to give as...

  • Longhorns feel right at home in the Blue Pony Corral

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    The outcome was never in doubt. But, Fort Benton head coach Cassie Pimperton wanted to make sure her top-seeded Longhorns stayed focused in the opening round of the 2020 District 9C girls tournament. And the undefeated Longhorns did that and then some Thursday morning in a 61-9 throttling of the Big Sandy Pioneers. The win pushed the defending 9C champions to 19-0 on the season, and into tonight's semifinals against upstart Hays-Lodge Pole. And, while the Longhorns knew they'd...

  • GOOD KNIGHT

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    The North Star girls basketball team was on the path for a ticket to the Northern C Divisional next week and that quest took its first step Thursday evening in the Havre High Gymnasium in the 2020 District 9C girls tournament. The No. 2 Knights took down the No. 7 Chinook Sugarbeeters Thursday night 61-26 to advance to the semifinals, where they will face off against the No. 3 Turner Tornadoes today at 5:30 p.m. North Star girls head coach Jennifer Wendland was happy to see...

  • BACK IN BLACK

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    All season long, the Chinook Sugarbeeters have had plans to three-peat as District 9C champions, and the Big Sandy Pioneers were standing in their way. However, Chinook rounded up the Pioneers, 74-34 in the 9C boys semifinals Thursday night, to move forward into tonight's championship game, where the Beeters get a 2019 rematch with Fort Benton. Before that, though, Chinook dominated Big Sandy from start to finish. And Beeters' head coach Mike Seymour was proud to see his team...

  • Fort Benton stampedes its way to another 9C title shot

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    The District 9C boys semifinals began Thursday night with two teams on a similar mission. Both wanted a chance to play for the championship, of course. In the case of top-seeded Fort Benton, they were hungry for a chance to play Chinook again for the 9C championship, while the North Star Knights were hungry to punch a ticket to the Northern C. However, in the end, the Longhorns beat the Knights 71-52 in the Havre High gymnasium, to advance to tonight's championship where they...

  • Storm Warning: Tornadoes back in the 9C semis

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    No longer underdogs at the District 9C girls tournament, the Turner Tornadoes instead had to fend off an underdog in the opening round of the 2020 9C tournament. That underdog was a very good Chester-Joplin-Inverness squad, which gave the third-seeded Tornadoes all they could handle Thursday afternoon inside the Havre High gymnasium. And yet, at the end of the day, Turner had the experience and tenacity to overcome a strong effort from the Hawks, in a 45-39 win - a win that...

  • T-Birds' turn to soar

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 21, 2020

    Nothing lasts forever. That's the truth in life and sports, and in the first round of the District 9C girls basketball tournament, a dominant run came to an end at the hands of an exciting up-and-comer. Thursday afternoon in the Havre High gymnasium, the Hays-Lodge Pole girls not only catapulted themselves to within one win of a Northern C berth, but they also ended Box Elder's run of 9C championship games with a 64-61 win in a 9C girls thriller. "It feels really good," HLP's...
