For the past 20 years, I have called the Havre Daily News my home, so nearly half of my life has been dedicated to putting out the best community newspaper possible, but while I celebrate this anniversary I am also announcing that, as of today, I have moved on to another pursuit. Though I am excited about the opportunities that await me in the future, it is with sadness that I say goodbye. My time here has been marked by both challenges and triumphs, and each has made me feel...
Members of the Northern Lights Basketball team volunteered to help a local group put up ribbons in remembrance of the 40 COVID-19-related fatalities in Hill County. "Renelle (Braaten) reached out to us because she thought that we would help, knowing that we do a lot of community service each year," Northern Lights Basketball Head Coach Shawn Huse said Thursday. "We were able to find some time and get some of my players out there today and tie the ribbons up above the notes tha...
The Hill County Commission heard a request by Hill County Sanitarian Clay Vincent to move forward on a plan to expand RSID 10 to include properties that benefit from the Milk River Levee dike but don’t contribute to its maintenance. At the commission’s weekly business meeting Thursday Vincent said these properties likely didn’t exist at the time the map showing the dike’s area of effect was created. “There are properties over there that are benefiting from the dike, big time, that have not been included in the original resolu...

The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team hasn't played an official NAIA/Frontier Conference match since Nov. 15. No, not Nov. 19 of this past year, Nov. 15 of 2019, when the Skylights' season ended at the Frontier tourney in Great Falls. Since then, Northern and the rest of the Frontier have seen an entire year of volleyball wiped out due to the COVID-19 crisis. It started with no spring ball last year, followed by the move this past summer to change the 2020...
I think we’re in trouble when the phrase “everything old is new again” applies to the writing of instruction manuals. Prehistoric drawings all over the world show images of all types of animals that lived in the region when the paintings were made – and we’re talking 20,000 to 100,000 years ago, maybe more. Those paintings serve as Basic Hunting 101 instructions for hunter gatherers: We need to eat. Go to the “store.” Kill one of these. Of course, some of the paintings sho...
Dear editor, Organized labor is good for the economy of Montana. I am urging all hardworking citizens of Montana to say no to House Bill 168 and Senate Bill 89. Both refer to the “right-to-work” legislation pushed by Randy Pope and the Montana Citizens Right to Work Coalition. This is nothing more than union bashing backed by big business. Good-paying jobs are vital for the economy of our great state of Montana. They not only provide a good living for our citizens, but also are critical now that we are near the end of thi...

The coronavirus pandemic just isn't loosening its grip on sports, including Frontier Conference men's and women's basketball. After a successful first two weeks of the 2021 season, COVID issues have started to creep back into the schedule, and that now includes the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. The Frontier Conference announced earlier this week that Northern's doubleheader at the University of Providence has been canceled due to a COVID issue within the MSU-N...
The Havre High girls basketball team has been on the road for a while now. So, there's no doubt the Blue Ponies will be happy to be back in the HHS gymnasium this weekend. Off course, the road hasn't been unkind to the Ponies, who have had blowout wins over Glendive, Sidney and Fairfield in their last three games. But again, there's nothing quite like playing in the Corral, and this weekend will be a big one for HHS. The Havre girls, who are 7-1 overall and unbeaten in the...
Finding swim meets was not easy for the Havre Blue Ponies, or any other teams during this pandemic dominated winter sports season. And yet, the Blue Ponies are making the most of it. In the first month of the swimming season, the Ponies have hosted two meets, participated in two virtual meets, and traveled to their first way meet last weekend in Columbia Falls. Now, the Ponies get to swim at home once against, as Columbia Falls and Whitefish come to the Havre Community Pool...
Out our way, an image that often comes to mind is the day Charlie and I found a lost calf up in a remote section of Tiger Ridge. We were just checking fence that day and so were quite some distance from the main herd. And as we rode along we spotted this little calf wandering around and occasionally bawling for his mother. Long story short, Charlie and I headed him back toward the main herd, adding to his confusion and terror, no doubt, for he started bawling louder and...
In a group of pastors from all across Montana, gathering by Zoom once a month for about half a year now, a spiritual exercise commenced with our leader putting a flame to wick. It set a tone. It marked entry into a contemplative and aware space. Not all of us on the video call late last week lit our own candle at home but we had the flicker of light reflected on the face of the one prompting and guiding us. Yet particularly if we did light a candle of our own, it helped our...
You know, Lord, sometimes one runs across an article that reminds us of days gone by, how You "surround" us with Your unfailing love. Sharing the article and Bible verse with friend, Del, to her that also brought back memories of quilts from when she was a kid. Her mom loved to quilt as did others in their neighborhood. She excitedly told that neighbor lady, "Jane," made quilts not only for her children, but she also made a special quilt for each one of her grandchildren. Del...
