Havre Daily News/Lindsay Brown A snow-covered barn Wednesday afternoon in the Bear Paw Mountains, south of Havre. A storm originally expected to lessen by Tuesday night has lingered with the on-again, off-again characteristic of this winter, with National Weather Service announcing a winter storm warning for Chouteau, Fergus, Hill and Judith Basin counties this morning.

The Havre Public Schools Education Foundation elected new officers this week and seated several board members. The foundation's goal is to provide a "margin of excellence" to the Havre schools, and the foundation is building a reputation for doing just that. Raising funds is one of the more difficult tasks any organization can do, but we hope that the foundation officers and directors find it a little bit easier to get contributions because of the valuable services the foundation offers.

HELENA (AP) — House Republicans advanced a plan Thursday to end same-day voter registration that critics blame for long lines on Election Day, but supporters argue improves access to the voting booth. The measure, which cleared an initial 61-39 House vote on Thursday along party lines, would end voter registration the Friday before Election Day. Supporters of House Bill 30 argue the deadline provides ample time for voter registration, while freeing up county officials to deal with just traditional voters on Election Day. "Why...

With their third loss in the last three weeks in Frontier play, the MSU-Northern men dropped two more spots in the most recent NAIA Coaches Poll. The Lights fell from No. 13 to No. 15 in this week's poll, but, despite the loss at Westminster, and a sweep at the hands of LC State in the last week, the Lights have remained in the NAIA's Top 15 for the last four weeks. The Warriors have already earned 20 wins this season and are ranked No. 3 in this week's poll. Westminster...

It's truly been an interesting season for the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team. And by no means has it been easy. In fact, MSU-N's road to where it is now has been down right difficult. The Skylights started the year having to re-load after the loss of all-everything guard Laramie Schwenke, while they also lost two regular season non-conference games early because a team decided they didn't want to drive all the way to Montana. In fact, Northern's...
In many cases, a programs' success greatly depends on its senior athletes and senior leadership. Seniors bring a lot of experience to prep athletics, and if those same experienced athletes can step up and take over the leadership roles, teams typically gain an edge. The senior swimmers on this year's Havre High swim teams are perfect examples. HHS has 13 seniors on the roster this season, including eight whicht have really stepped up, and will represent the Ponies at the state swim meet next weekend in Hardin. Havre High...

HELENA — When Jennifer Strickley first learned she had ovarian cancer, it was Planned Parenthood that detected the disease. She had been going to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Billings for about a decade, as the discounts on Pap tests, contraception and regular checkups provided an essential break for the single mom working without health insurance as a waitress to support her two kids. So when she found lump on her abdomen in 2011, that's where she went to get it checked out. Strickley is one of 26,000 Montanans who rely u...
With the start of the season now behind the Havre High softball team, the Blue Ponies were able to do some good things. And now moving forward, the Ponies are looking to keep the momentum rolling and find even more ways to improve. Friday the Central A Ponies were in Great Falls, taking on a deep and talented pool of Class AA softball programs. Rachel Majeres and the Havre High softball team opened the 2013 season with four games last Friday in Great Falls. This afternoon, the Blue Ponies make their home debut with varsity...
The weather continues to be a big story for spring sports, or more so, the lack of bad weather so far. And that was the case for the Havre High boys and girls tennis teams as they tripped to Conrad this weekend. The Blue Ponies were in Conrad Saturday for duals against Cut Bank, Lewistown and Conrad, and the weather, along with the progression of the Pony teams was the highlight according to head coach George Ferguson. "For it not even being April, you couldn't have asked for a better day for tennis," Ferguson said. "Sunny,... Full story
