WASHINGTON — Congress' excruciating, extraordinary New Year's Day approval of a compromise averting a prolonged tumble off the fiscal cliff hands President Barack Obama most of the tax boosts on the rich that he campaigned on. It also prevents House Republicans from facing blame for blocking tax cuts for most American households, though most GOP lawmakers parted ways with Speaker John Boehner and opposed the measure. AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, passes waiting reporters as he l...

It has been just two days since the calendar turned from 2012 to 2013. But it's never too early to look ahead. And with a great sports year now behind us, it's time to start thinking about what the new year holds. With so many great sporting events coming in Havre, on the Hi-Line and around Montana, I certainly don't need a crystal ball to tell me how much fun the next 12 months is going to be. So, in the last couple of weeks, we've looked back at how amazing the last year...
A Havre woman is working with the National Alliance for Mental Illness and the Center for Mental Health to create a 12-week course for helping friends and relatives of people with mental health issues. Cindy Ellington, whose son has health issues, and Pam Veis from the Center for Mental Health, will teacher the NAMI-prepared course. The first benefit is for the people — there is room for 25 — who take part in the class. They will learn just what they can do to help their loved ones and how to better understand what they are...

Even though we are sometimes upset by the nasty tone of the comments, many commenters make interesting comments and help havredialynews.com become more of a community forum. John Kelleher But some comments upset us, indeed they scare us. That is the increasing number of outright racist comments that people try to post on the website. The racist comments go both ways. Some are anti-white, but most are blatantly anti-Native...
Editor: Havre is a great place for a lot of reasons. However, this holiday season was proof, once again, that this city has a deep and robust arts community that adds significantly to the livability of this special place. The performances I attended weren't run-of-the-mill events by uninterested people going through the motions until the curtain dropped. While I realize I experienced only a small sampling of the talent on display this Christmastime, what I saw was superb. From the newly formed Havre Community Orchestra to...

Although, as President Barack Obama said, neither side of the aisle got everything they wanted as part of the deal, U.S. lawmakers gave a New Year's gift to their constituents, working Tuesday to pass a tax bill that will keep income taxes from going up on 99 percent of Americans. Lawmakers also dealt with issues ranging from alternative energy to the federal farm programs. See related story on Page A8. The holiday vote split the Montana congressional delegation, with Democratic Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester voting for the...
Havre Daily News/Lindsay Brown Snow leaves ruts on a driveway off of Badland Road Wednesday morning.

The closures prompted a lawsuit from sporting groups and a s...

The Havre High track and field team will compete in its home finale on Saturday. It has been a long season with a lot of improvement thus far, but things are rapidly coming to an end for the Central A Blue Ponies.

Havre's Ryne Antley lets go of the discus during the 2013 Cal Wearley Track Meet last month in Havre. The Blue...
Many high schools across the state of Montana do not have the luxury of having a pole vaulter on its track and field team. And if a program is lucky, they may have one or two vaulters who can push for team points throughout the season. Havre senior Thurman Holdsclaw goes up on the pole during the 2013 Cal Wearley Track Meet last month in Havre. Holdsclaw is part of a strong HHS contingent of vaulters who seem to be going higher and higher. However, the Havre High Blue Pony track team isn't in that group, not anymore. Through...
