Local law enforcement says crime is on an upswing in the area including a surge in car thefts. In the past month, the Havre Police Department has received 11 reports of vehicle theft.

"I have a feeling that it's the same group of individuals that are doing this," Matosich said Thursday. "In the...

We woke to see the shining moon and smell the Winter Air. We checking the stars and wispy clouds, but we know you’re not there. You flew away, left us behind — Oh! What a time to go! You flew away, that’s what you did, but oh, we miss you so! Changed in a twinkling of an eye, Your time with Christ won’t end. But God had given you a job, you were a special friend. We hear the whistling train roll out, it hurries on its way. Bet you recall that rumbling freight, once in a former day. You won’t be back to ease our tears, it...
The deer stopped in, they nosed about, we’d not seen deer for weeks! They check the trees because they know, crabs aren’t on mountain peaks. They spied water in the birdbath, they all needed a drink. Twelve deer drank fast, bumping their heads, bath emptied in a wink! They were thirsty; they slurped it all — then checked out mountain ash. Fallen berries they gobbled up, then to the crabs they dash. Wind blew crabs down; deer gobbled them — then leaped to snag more crabs. The tallest deer saw leaping deer, he turned, mouthfu...
Out our way, the noise in town can be distracting. Kids gunning pickup trucks at 70 mph in a 25 mph zone, the heavy trucks along the highway, the freight trains that ply the Hi-Line section of track hourly, all contribute to the noise. No wonder Charlie and I love to work cows up on the Tiger Ridge, for the noise there is birds, calves, and ole Doc sneezing. Who knew horses get hay fever? Up in the Bear Paws, I have found a special retreat spot where even these sounds tend to be few and far between. It is a place overlooking...

While the whole country is debating the mary jane, ganja, dank, 420 issue of legalizing marijuana, I’m obsessing over weed of the noxious list kind. I know. I wrote about noxious weeds sometime in the last year or two. I swear I had every intention to consider it a spent topic, to ignore my single-minded obsession with the idea that weeds are my mortal enemy, y’know, just let the obsessive compulsiveness go. But no. Blame my day job. Call my boss. I had to interview the cou...

ROCKY BOY - There have been a lot of learning experiences for the Havre High boys basketball team this season, but Thursday night in Rocky Boy, the Blue Ponies proved they have learned to win on the road. In the first half, Havre jumped out to a 12-point lead and took that into the break. Yet, Rocky Boy made a push in the third and fourth quarters and got within three in the final minutes. However, the Ponies made 7-of-8 free throws in the last 90 seconds to salt away a 57-48...
ROCKY BOY - Kyndall Keller has done a lot of things during her high school basketball career. However, she had never scored 30 points in a game, until Thursday night in Rocky Boy that is.

When the two-time All-State performer's night came to an end after just 17 minutes, she was 14-of-18 from the...
Playing nationally ranked Frontier Conference rivals is a weekly occurrence for the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team.

Now, two months later, the Battlin' Bears and...
