New U. S. Rep. Steve Daines, R-Mont., held a press conference this morning and discussed his 24 hours in Congress, including his family attending his swearing in and his vote this morning against providing $9.7 billion in aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy. Daines was one of 67 representatives to vote against that aid. That bill now goes to the Senate. A total of 354 representatives approved the bill. "It just gets back to a principle that I committed to when I ran for Congress in Montana, and that is we need to make sure...
While in politics, I allowed myself to be bullied by the NRA. No more. I cannot help but feel like there is something I could have done to prevent this calamity. But I will no longer allow myself to be intimidated by groups like the NRA. I don't need an assault weapon to go hunting with my son. Ed Tinsley I am a lifelong hunter, a veteran of the United States Army, and a former elected official here in my home of Yellowstone County. But above all I consider myself a parent, and so I will be forever haunted by the slaughter of...
Correction: The phone number for the Havre Center for Mental Health is 265-9639. In today's print edition of the Havre Daily News it was listed incorrectly. Local mental health care officials say an ironic result of the Dec. 14 tragedy may lead to increased awareness, understanding and treatment of mental illnesses — even though no evidence has arisen that the shooter who killed his mother and then 20 first-graders and six teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newport, Conn., before killing himself h...

With two very winnable games just around the corner for the Havre High girls basketball team, the Blue Ponies find themselves in a very good position to regain the momentum coming out of the holiday break.

It's only the beginning of January, but it's also an already important time of the season for the Havre High boys and girls swim teams. The Blue Ponies come out of the holiday break set to host the Class A Invitational Saturday at the Havre Community Pool. And because it's the only time Havre is in the pool against its only two Class A rivals, it's a big meet for the Ponies, as well as for the visiting Billings Central Rams and Hardin Bulldogs. Havre, Billings Central and...
If someone would have told the Montana State University-Northern Skylights they were only going to make one 3-pointer prior to their Frontier Conference game with Dickinson State, Northern would have seen trouble on the horizon. Yet, the Skylights did make just one long-range shot and still found a way to scratch out a 59-56 win over the Blue Hawks Thursday nig Northern's Rachelle Bennett, right, tries to get around a DSU defender during Thursday night's women's game in...

As far as wins go, it hasn't been the most productive start to the season for the Havre High boys basketball team. But as the young team continues to take the right steps forward, and continues to grow and get better, the Blue Ponies enter the new year knowing they could earn their first win. The Central A Blue Ponies started the season 0-5, including an 0-2 start to their conference schedule. But their next two opponents have a combined 1-10 record, and coming out of a very productive break, the Ponies could come away with o...
Just one day before the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team was set to re-open Frontier Conference play, veteran MSU-N head coach Shawn Huse stated how there weren't going to be any easy nights in league play. And in just Northern's second conference game of the season, Huse couldn't have been more right. On Thursday night at the Armory Gymnasium, the No. 22 Lights had to fight and scratch for a 72-65 win over the Dickinson State Blue Hawks, in a game that...
A case of influenza was confirmed at Northern Montana Care Center Thursday. Care Center Administrator Ron Gleason said one resident was hospitalized and tested positive for influenza A. This is the first confirmed case of influenza at the Care Center during the 2012-2013 flu season. Care Center residents are generally more susceptible to influenza due to their age. Gleason said that every resident and staff member is offered the flu shot annually. Once a case of influenza is confirmed at the Care Center, all necessary...
The new year brought the Chinook City Council to take a look at its appointees, boards and committees at Thursday night's meeting, and city officials are looking for a few civic-minded Chinook residents to volunteer. The biggest need right now is to fill an all-new Ordinance Committee that will re-examine all of the Chinook city ordinances to find which are good, which need to be updated and which need to go away altogether. The head of the streamlining committee, council member Keith Hanson, is looking to have a five-member... Full story
Laurel — Best of luck to Steve Bullock as he begins his four-year term as Montana governor. Bullock promises to carry on most of the policies of his predecessor, Brian Schweitzer, but perhaps with a little less showmanship. We hope the new governor can work at least on some issues with the state Legislature, even though they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Dart — Federal regulators have decided that Exxon Mobil Corp. was responsible for making last year's oil spill on the scenic Yellowstone River. Had Exx... Full story
Pam Burke We here at Pamville News — employees, interns, volunteers, hangers-on and laze-abouts — in no way condone, excuse or otherwise support violence in any form. That said, though, when you hear that a man in the UK was beat up by two guys dressed like Oompa Loompas — orange skin, green hair, hoop pants and all — ya just gotta laugh. It may be the law. It really could be. The UK's Daily Mail Online reports that the Norfolk police said two men dressed like the fiction...

HELENA — Gov. Steve Bullock vetoed a measure Friday that he says would have allowed a way for anonymous political organizations to contribute to campaigns through religious groups. House Bill 217 would have exempted religious organizations from campaign finance reports. The measure would have given so-called "dark money" groups the opportunity to donate to campaigns through churches without any oversight or regulation, Bullock said in his veto letter. The Democratic governor also vetoed 11 other bills Friday, including one t...
HELENA, (AP) — Gov. Steve Bullock signed the Legislature's main budget bill Friday — but not after first using his line-item veto authority to strike a small portion of the spending. Bullock said in his line-item veto message that he needed to reduce spending. His office said the reductions cut about $30 million, roughly 0.4 percent of the two-year, $8 billion budget. House Bill 2 cleared the Legislature with the backing of minority Democrats and some Republicans. But Bullock said lawmakers did not stick to his goals of a s...
HELENA — Montana legislative leaders decided Friday to send the governor five potential candidates for the commissioner of political practices post after deadlocking on efforts to trim the list.

Entering the second week of competition, the Havre High boys and girls track teams were looking to perform well at home. And while the Blue Ponies were up against a tough field, they still put up solid times and marks across the board. Wednesday the Ponies were at home, but attended the Cal Wearley meet at the Havre Middle School track. Havre High senior Katie Christianson races in the 1,600 meters at Wednesday's Cal Wearley Invite in Havre. Christianson had a strong day for the Ponies in the distance races. And in a strong...
