  • When children ride with drunken drivers

    Between 1997 and 2002, 68 percent of U.S. children killed in alcohol-related crashes were riding in the same vehicle as the drunken driver. These children were less likely to be properly restrained than children who died in crashes that did not involve alcohol. Strong enforcement of impaired-driving laws, child safety seat laws, and safety belt laws could further reduce child passenger deaths. Worldwide, 1.2 million people die each year from road traffic-related injuries. Developing countries suffer the greatest losses, but...

  • HHS tennis teams sweep Conrad Invite

    The Havre High tennis team made it a clean sweep of the team titles at the Conrad Invitational tennis tournament on Friday. But it was a reversal of sorts. It was the Havre High girls squad, which stepped out of the boys' much ballyhooed shadow, with the dominant performance. Pony girls finished in three of the top four places in the singles portion and won third in the doubles en route to 35 team points, easily outdistancing second-place Lewistown's 19 points. Havre dominated the singles portion of the girls tourney as Amy...

  • Havre Softball Club splits opening games of the season

    Playing the first game of the season is always cause for some nerves and butterflies. Playing the first game of the season as a brand new team in a budding program in front a large home crowd makes butterflies feel more like B-52s. The Havre Softball Club overcame an early case of nerves to earn a split with the Browning Indians on Saturday at Sixth Avenue Memorial Field. Browning capitalized on Havre players' anxiousness in the first game to pick up an 11-8 win. "They were so nervous in the first couple of the innings of the... Full story

  • Mayor Rice interested in wind power

    Havre Mayor Bob Rice is investigating the possibility of installing a wind turbine at Havre's water plant to save the city money on its energy bills. "I'm thinking we'll try for one and see how it works out, see if it's successful," Rice said last week. "And if it works, we'll probably have to take a real hard look at it." Rice said he hopes to bring the idea to the Havre City Council this summer after he does more research. Wind turbines aren't cheap. Rice estimated one would cost $30,000. But he said a turbine would... Full story

  • Does Havre need more water to grow?

    Editor's note: This is the second of two stories examining whether Havre should considering joining the Rocky Boy's-North Central Montana Regional Water System. Several issues have come to the fore since Havre in 1998 opted out of the huge water project that will provide water from Lake Elwell to more than 18,000 people in north-central Montana. Those issues should cause Havre to re-examine that decision, a number of local business leaders say. Chuck Wimmer, a banker who is president of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce,...

  • Officials: City could have joined water project for $20,000

    Officials: City could have joined water project for $20,000 For a fee of $20,000, the city of Havre could have gotten in on the ground floor of a water project that will eventually supply a good chunk of north-central Montana with fresh, clean water, and perhaps eliminate concerns about future water supplies. Havre in 1998 notified the committee planning the Rocky Boy's-North Central Regional Water System that it would not join the system, choosing to expand and upgrade its own water treatment plant instead. The city took...

  • Northside body still not ID'd

    The Hill County Sheriff's Office is waiting for forensic tests to shed some light on the human remains that were unearthed behind a North Havre residence last week. "It is still under investigation. I don't know who it is at this time," Hill County Sheriff Greg Szudera said Thursday. The skeletal remains, as well as some fabric and a belt, have been sent to the State Crime Lab in Missoula for analysis. There, scientists should be able to determine the gender and approximate age, as well as how long ago the person died and... Full story

  • The road to recovery

    For Ryan Chagnon and his family, the three years he has spent recovering from the car accident that put him in a coma for four days have brought their share of tears and laughter, realized goals and ones that still belong to the future. Three years ago Chagnon was a strapping 112-pound varsity wrestler at Havre High School. All that changed in an instant on April 13, 2001. Friday the 13th. Good Friday. Ryan and his older sister, Jessica, were involved in a two-car accident as they pulled out of North 31st Street onto Montana...
