    Updated Jul 10, 2015

    Mosquitoes. I know, and I swore with actual swear words that I wouldn’t write about them this year, but these aren’t just any mosquitoes. These little guys are so strangely small and cunning that they were just asking for it. These are pint-sized, skeeter-gnat-ninja warrior hybrids with a stealth mode and an extra pain-to-the-ounce bite. Really, they are freaks of nature so small you can't hear their telltale hum coming at you and they can squeeze through the window screens. Yes, you read that right: There is no hope of pro...

    Updated Jul 10, 2015

    Connie and I just returned from our vacation from Everett, Washington, to San Diego, California, experiencing three lessons along the 4,218 mile trip. The first lesson was to be in the state of rest knowing that there were no pressing schedules.

  • Exciting fall sports season is right around the corner

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jul 10, 2015

    Sometimes it’s kind of crazy how fast time goes. Just one year ago at this time, I didn’t even live in Havre or work for the Havre Daily News. My first year back at the HDN has gone by fast and for that matter so has this summer. Summer is always fleeting, probably because we all wish it would stay forever, most of us anyway. Yet, that’s only a wish, not reality. The reality is that our summer is already half over and with the Great Northern Fair already set to begin next week, it will truly be over before we know it. But a...

  • Hi-Line Athlete Profile: Dylan Carpenter, Havre North Stars Baseball

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jul 10, 2015

    In case you haven't noticed, the Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team has been on a bit of a roll lately. And while there are many reasons behind the team's recent success, one of the biggest has been the pitching of Dylan Carpenter.
