The MSU-Northern volleyball team celebrates a 5-set win over nationally-ranked UGF Friday night at the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse.

But in front of a roaring homecoming crowd Friday night at the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse, the Skylights seized control of first place in the Frontier Conference by ousting arch rival, the University of Great Falls in a five-set thriller. Northern quickly stormed to a 2-0 lead before the 25th-ranked Argos won...

After a month of playing on foreign golf courses, the Havre High boys and girls golf teams get one last chance to play at home in 2011. On Saturday morning, the Blue Ponies will host the 2011 Havre Invitational at Beaver Creek Golf Course. The tournament will be an 18-hole event with a shotgun start set for 9:30 a.m. This is the second of two meets in Havre. The Ponies opened the season with an 18-hole tourney at Prairie Farms Golf Course last month in Havre. And HHS is glad...
Former Blue Pony C.J. Evans is one of a host of former Havre High and area players currently playing college football on Saturdays. Being a standout prep athlete is a special thing. It is something so many athletes strive to be, but something only a few achieve in their short four years of action. But as rare as it may be to send an athlete to the college ranks, Havre High and the surrounding Hi-Line schools have a pretty solid track record of producing college football players. Right now there are 19 former high school...
Havre's Justin Jensen will help lead the Blue Ponies against the Sidney Easgles tonight in Sidney. Havre High is ready to get back into the win column. And with tonight's game being the last game before the Blue Pony football team enters the conference portion of their schedule, now would be the perfect time. Tonight the Central A Ponies will be in Sidney to face the Eastern A Eagles in non league play. Havre has lost its last two contests, losing to Butte Central a week ago on the road and Miles City at home last weekend....
MSU-Northern senior Landry See has been a four-year starter for the Lights, a three-time all-conference performer and one of the most prolific tacklers in MSU-N history. Montana State University-Northern senior linebacker Landry See has literally seen it all when it comes to college football. After all, See, a 6-0, 200-pound Hillsboro, Ore., product has started every game since he came to Northern four years ago. It's a rare feat to start and contribute in as many games as...
First place in the Frontier Conference at stake. The chance to start 3-0. A nationally-ranked game. Things like this haven't happened at Blue Pony Stadium for a while now. But that's exactly the circumstances surrounding Saturday's Frontier Conference showdown between the No. 23 Montana State University-Northern Lights (2-0) and the No. 12 Eastern Oregon Mountaineers (2-0) inside Blue Pony Stadium. And to top it all off, it's Northern's Homecoming game too. "It is a big game,...
Numerous programs to help local residents deal with flooding last spring have a variety of deadlines for local residents, business owners and agricultural producers to watch, with one hitting today. Today is the last day for ag producers to apply for the Emergency Conservation Program to seek aid for damage due to the flooding. Under that program, the U. S. Department of Agriculture will share the cost paid by producers, up to a 75 percent level, for things such as debris removal, land releveling, restoration of conservation...
The U. S. Department of Agriculture announced that agricultural producers have an extra week to sign up for a program to promote raising crops for renewable fuel. The original deadline to sign up for the Biomass Crop Assistance Program, or BCAP, project opened in Montana, California and Washington, was today, but USDA has extended the deadline to Friday, Sept. 23. "BCAP is an effort that will create jobs and stimulate rural economies across the nation, and we want to make certain we have reached as many farmers and ranchers...

Havre Daily News/Nikki Carlson Montana State University-Northern wrestlers help set up the stage Thursday afternoon for the Elton John tribute band concert behind Pershing Hall on the campus. After Midnight is opening the concert at 7:30 p.m., and the Elton John tribute band will begin at 8:30 p.m. The concert is a fundraiser for MSU-N to get a permanent stage created behind Pershing Hall, since the area is a natural amphitheater. Mother Nature seems to be cooperating with the fall celebration at Havre, with cool but mostly s...
Washington can't seem to stop borrowing and spending. Montana, on the other hand, is one of the only states in America with a balanced budget and a strong surplus. And we've done it six years in a row, with an average surplus of $389 million (in the previous 20 years before I was governor, the average was $68 million). This tight fiscal discipline has allowed us to cut taxes, invest in education, and keep the government running. And unlike the feds who got downgraded, Montana recently got its first bond rating upgrade in 26 y...
Do you ever wonder if, in the face of danger, you would risk yourself to save someone in dire need, or flee the scene, or stand there in gape-mouthed befuddlement? I'm not asking just because of the recent 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks I'm also asking because earlier this week a group of strangers on a street in Logan, Utah, were videoed coming together to help save a man despite some risk to themselves. Pam Burke After a motorcycle and car crashed on the street, the motorcycle started on fire. The video,...
Small-town life at its best will be celebrated this weekend as thousands of people from up and down the Hi-Line gather in Havre for Festival Days. Though the spirit of Festival Days remains as it has been for 31 years, there will be some new events to take part in. It is special this year that Montana State University-Northern is holding its homecoming activities in conjunction with Festival Days. Many alums will be in town to recall their years at Northern and the good times they had during past Festival Days. While many sma...
Editor: Now that we have had a chance to enjoy the Labor Day weekend and thin back on last month's community activities we, the Chippewa-Cree Tribe Events Committee would like to express our gratitude to the following Havre merchants who unselfishly gave when called upon to support this community event: the 49th Annual Rocky Boy Powwow celebration and rodeo, just as we have supported the Great Northern Fair. ADM-CHS LLC AE2S Baltrusch Barkus Home Center CMG Construction Inc. The Duck Inn First Interstate Bank Fleet Wholesale...
Now and then I walk down to the city shop early in the morning to have coffee with the men from Public Works. They meet an hour before work to drink coffee and tell lies. It is kind of like they unwind before the work day starts rather than after it is over. Although I can't join them every day, I enjoy feeling accepted as one of the gang. I am honored they invite me. So the other day when I hobbled into the shop more crippled than usual, Richard frowned and asked me, "What's...
Editor: Havre Pride cleanup on Saturday was a huge success. The Havre Pride Task Force of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce and the Montana Energy Corp. from Opportunity Link Inc. led the way for the fall clean-up campaign in partnership with the Recycle Hi-Line organization. Thanks to Carrie Johnson at Opportunity Link for organizing the recycling activities for Havre Pride and to those who helped with the recycling part of the day, including Walmart and Pacific Steel and Recycling. The turnout to help clean up Havre and re...
Editor: As a lifelong Montana resident, I feel the need to write concerning the approval process of the Keystone XL Pipeline Project. As I am sure you are aware, this project is awaiting a presidential permit for the pipeline to cross the U.S.-Canada border. I am a 30-year pipeline construction worker and Montana tax payer. I am tired of sending our wealth to countries that use the money to attack our way of life. With the supplies now available in Canada, it makes perfect sense to purchase as much oil as we can from our...
Editor: I am writing this letter in support of Franke Wilmer who is running for the open seat in the U.S. Congress. I worked extensively with Franke as the speaker pro tempore during the 2008 Legislature, and her service is commendable. Wilmer's tireless work on behalf of students, working families and all Montanans is excellent. She always showed up to session ready to buckle down and get the business of the day. This is someone who will do the same for us in Washington, D.C. In a crowded primary field for this seat, I plan...
BILLINGS— About 150 bison from Yellowstone National Park would be relocated onto state or tribal lands in Montana under a proposal announced Thursday as part of a long-stalled effort to establish new herds of the burly animals. After spending years in a government quarantine, the bison are disease-free and ready to move once the relocation is approved and fences are built, said Ron Aasheim with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. About $2 million would need to be spent on fencing for the two state-owned properties under c...
The Montana Grizzlies have a big, Big Sky Conference opener this Saturday in Missoula. The Montana State Bobcats have a week to get ready for theirs. The biggest showdown in the FCS this weekend takes place in Missoula when the 12th-ranked Grizzlies (0-0, 1-1) welcome in the 10th-ranked Eastern Washington Eagles (0-0, 0-2) – the reigning FCS national champions Saturday afternoon at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. And while it appears the Eagles are reeling, having lost two straigh...
Correction: The version of this story published in Tuesday's edition of the Havre Daily News incorrectly listed the time of Thursday's meeting with Jamie Vollmer. One of Havre Public Schools' biggest goals in recent months is to engage community residents and involve them in the districts' activities. This week the district is bringing in some help. On Thursday at 6 p.m., in the Montana State University-Northern Student Union Building ballroom, the district will welcome Iowa-based school reform advocate Jamie Vollmer to meet...
Operating under the assumption that they had until the middle of September to come up with a complete budget, Havre city officials assembled a preliminary budget for review at Monday night's Havre City Council meeting. The city's clerk, Lowell Swenson, said at the meeting that city officials had just heard that their assumption is not true. This spring's Montana legislative session implemented a new law trimming the deadline from 45 days from Aug. 1 to 30 days. "This was the best we could do on two days notice, " Swenson...
