If anything has become abundantly clear so far during the Frontier Conference basketball season thus far, it's that the league is going to take many more twists and turns before the postseason arrives late next month. The clear indicator of that was this past weekend, especially on the men's side. Take the Great Falls Argos for example. They lost two players to academic issues and go and get beat on the road at Rocky Mountain College and Dickinson State two weeks ago. However,...
Tournament time is still a month away. But if you’re a high school basketball fan, and you’re craving some postseason-like hoops, look no further than the Hi-Line this weekend. Yes, the regular season of area high school basketball has reached the grind stage, with the lights at the end of the tunnel still just a low gleam in the distance. But at several area gyms this weekend, it will certainly feel like there’s plenty at stake. One of those locals is the Havre High gymnasium...
The new semester has begun, and soon enough, the Montana State University-Northern football team will be back on the field for spring ball. And the Lights, who are coming off a tough, but productive 4-6 season, have announced the first wave of recruits for the 2014 recruiting class. Seven of the eight new Northern recruits are already enrolled at MSU-N and will participate in spring drills in March and April. And two of them are homegrown products. Former Havre Blue Ponies...
A week after getting back into the groove of things with a nearly 100 percent lineup, the Havre High wrestling team now heads into another daunting weekend in Missoula. Missoula's annual Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic brings in talent from all over the state of Montana, as well as surrounding areas. Last year, the Ponies took in a less-than-healthy lineup and finished as the No. 10 team. But with a full head of steam, Friday and Saturday the Ponies will look to finish a...
Chip away the ice, pull on a pair of shorts, T-shirt, flip flops, sun block, a hat and come with me on a mini-tour of my immediate neighborhood. I’m only a block from the beach, so you might like to go sunbathe after our walk. I thought you might enjoy a respite from Montana chill. A half block out my door and we are on Cameron Sabala, the main drag in the tourist sector of Mazatlan. Unlike getting a bus out of town, getting a bus in town is easy and costs pennies. There is a...
Montana’s tradition of having nonpartisan elections for judicial races is under threat because of a federal appeals court ruling. The attorney general's office and the Commission on Political Practices hopes to go to the United States Supreme Court to get the appeals court decision overturned,. We wish them well. A lot is at stake. The framers of the Montana Constitution believed that judges should be elected without partisan labels. They believed that partisan elections for judgeships would lessen the public’s support for...

What is today Pacific Steel and Recycling started off more that 100 years ago as a fur and hide business. Dex Nebel, head of the Havre office, told the Chamber luncheon that today his company recycles all kinds of materials, except glass. And it is totally out of the furs and hide business. Nebel said the company has 47 branches all over the Pacific Northwest, including its facility in Havre. The company is a small player in the steel and recycling business, he said. Small enough so that he has the CEO’s cellphone number and...
The investment NorthWestern Energy now is making in replacing, upgrading and buying power and natural gas production and transmission infrastructure is a reversal of a trend that started two decades ago and put two companies, including NorthWestern, into bankruptcy. In the late 1990s, Montana Power Co., which formed in Butte in 1912 and operated as a solid power utility in Montana for most of a century, lobbied for utility deregulation in the state. The Legislature approved deregulation in 1997, and Montana Power began...
The local manager of NorthWestern Energy said his employees on the Hi-Line are looking at a busy time in the next few years, with changes from replacing power poles — some almost as old as the Montana company — to how customers can pay their bills. “We’ve got a lot going on,” said Havre District Manager Carson Sweeney. “Yeah. A lot going on.” During the 105th annual meeting of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Wednesday, Sweeney talked about what his employees are and will be doing on the Hi-Line, in a district that...

In 1980, he bought an old motorcycle store where Tilleman...

Larsen-Batt has been going back and forth between Great...
