Editor: The picture in Wednesday's Havre Daily News of Thurman Holdsclaw and Katie Christianson enjoying their moment of glory at homecoming coronation prompted me to write this letter. The smiles on the faces of these two make me think about so many of our students who are good kids, full of energy, enthusiasm and promise. One often hears adults talk about "kids today" and wonder what has happened to our youth. But from my perspective, the vast majority of our kids are good kids, doing what they believe is right, just...
Editor: I was very impressed by our band leader, Mr. Johnke, who brought back lots of enthusiasm to the game last Friday. Because the band played the whole game and it was great, the crowd, kids and players got fired up — heck, the band even cheered. The football boys picked up on the spirit of the band and the fans and the rest is history. Thanks gain, Mr. Johnke, it's great to have you here. Jo Jones Havre...

I don't even have television and I'm counting down the days until Election Day ... or rather, the day after. Election Day is like Christmas Eve and the next day is the day off, the day of peace, the day of tranquility and togetherness. I'm so tired of the senseless, election-politics bickering that the day-after-Election-Day politics-as-usual will seem peaceful by comparison. Mostly, I'm tired of all the negative, nasty spin doctoring of everyone's words. When one group is...

ROUNDUP — The big mining companies first came knocking on Ellen Pfister's door in the 1970s, ready to tap the huge coal deposits beneath her family's eastern Montana ranch. Pfister and others successfully fended them off, and as the coal industry retreated domestically, it appeared their battle might be won. But now, a fast-growing market in exporting coal to Asia has Pfister and other ranchers seeing their long-held fears become reality.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney struggled to steady his presidential campaign on Friday, buffeted by an outbreak of sniping among frustrated Republicans, fresh evidence of a slide in battleground state polls and President Barack Obama's accusation that he was writing off "half the country" in pursuit of the White House.

Life on the road is never easy in the Frontier Conference. And the UM-Western Bulldogs made the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team's visit to Dillon especially difficult.

The number of people working in Montana went down in August, but the jobless rate also declined slightly, from 6.4 percent to 6.3 percent. Montana followed the national trend — fewer jobs and lower unemployment. This often happens because people get discouraged and leave the workplace. The national jobless rate fell from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent during August. "Like last year, Montana's employment figures held steady during the summer months, " said Labor Commissioner Keith Kelly. "Overall, we expect Montana to continue its... Full story

The troublesome annexation problem which started several years ago came to an end at Monday night's Havre City Council meeting, after a few minutes of discussion and a unanimous vote. The vote brought a legal settlement to the lawsuit filed by several landowners west of Havre in 2010 against the city to stop the annexation process. The properties in question, if annexed, would have extended the city of Havre's border from the bottom of the hill near the water plant and Ezzie's Wholesale, where the limit is now, out over the...
The legislative House Districts approved by the state Districting and Apportionment Commission Friday will have some major impacts on who votes with whom, pending approval of the proposals by the 2013 Legislature. But how that will affect the makeup of the Montana Legislature itself after the 2014 elections is unclear. The commission, comprising two Republicans, two Democrats and a nonpartisan chair, approved new House district lines late Friday night after more than a year of preparation and holding public meetings and colle...
