  • Ponies hope home field will pay off

    Daniel Horton|Updated May 15, 2013

    If the 2013 softball season had ended, the Havre High softball team would be done. But fortunately for the Central A Blue Ponies, they get one last shot at making the Class A state softball tournament. The Ponies finished the conference portion of the season with a 3-5 record, but as the No. 4 team. And with only the top three teams making the state tournament, HHS will hopefully utilize the conference’s first divisional tournament to turn their luck around, and make the state tournament. The Central A divisional t...

  • Our View: International comedy at Port of Wild Horse needs to end

    Updated May 15, 2013

    It’s like watching an old black-and-white movie with the Keystone Cops, or Bud Abbot and Lou Costello, doing slapstick — but maybe, maybe, not as funny. Once again, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Border Services Agency have agreed to use the same hours at the Port of Wild Horse north of Havre after — once again — first saying they wouldn’t extend summer hours, then saying maybe they would, then saying they probably wouldn’t, then one side extending hours with the other not.
