The Hill County Commission’s weekly business meeting held at 10 this morning ended abruptly after some apparent confusion over whether the proceeding was legal or public. Hill County Commission Administrative Assistant Brittany Pfeifer said in the chat of the virtual meeting that it was adjourned and there was no further information at that time after the commissioners left the GoToMeeting connection.

Summer is coming, even if spring hasn’t completely felt like spring. And, certainly, April didn’t feel like spring. Earlier this week, the National Weather Service in Great Falls released its April weather summary, as well as a summer for north-central Montana with data compiled from last October through April. And two things about April stood out for Havre. The first was, in a relatively short window, it snowed a lot in April. Havre received 11.1 inches of snow for the month, with a normal April seeing just 3.0 inches fal...

The weather is warming up, and in some areas of Montana, that's going to mean the springtime fishing will get good. And that includes at Fresno Reservoir west of Havre. Of course, COVID-19 has played a part in fishing access, as well as many other outdoor activities since spring arrived, but, with Montana Gov. Steve Bullock's Phase I re-opening of the state, fishing access has been opened up. Fresno currently has no fishing access restrictions, according to Fresno's site on th...
Though not the least bit dangerous, Argentine Ants win the grand prize for pesky, irritating, prolific and impossible to be squashed with any permanence. You in the North Country don’t have to worry about them. So far they have learned to inhabit only tropical and sub-tropical climes. I say ‘so far’. Adaptable little creatures they are. They neither bite with fire nor leave welts. They don’t strip entire trees overnight. They don’t chew the furniture. However, one this mome...
Editor, What the heck is going on with the Hill County Park Board? I have noticed the ongoing discussions about the beaver problem in the park, and am dumbfounded as to why the park board members cannot agree to try any other methods for beaver control.
