No matter what part of the country you live in, there is something special about high school football. In Montana, there is no exception to that rule. Friday nights are sacred in Big Sky Country, however, across the state, participation numbers are down, and it has led to more and more forfeits. And not just games, but seasons, too. Locally, the North Star Knights, a program with a proud tradition in the Class C Six-Man North Division recently forfeited a game against Big...

Dear Congressman Gianforte, At the roundtable meeting you conducted in Lewistown on Aug. 15, you announced that you would be accepting comments regarding your two wilderness study area bills — H.R. 5148 and 5149 — at this email address. On behalf of Montana Wilderness Association, I would like to share with you the myriad ways in which thousands of Montanans have already made it known that they oppose your legislation stripping protection from 29 wilderness study areas comprising more than 800,000 acres. We feel that it’s ext...
Never in a million years did I think I would be asking so many people in this area if they were registered to vote. And never did I imagine finding people not interested in doing so. Truth be told, when I started ringing doorbells, I thought the only people I may find needing to register would be those new to the area or people just turning 18. Especially here. Montanans take pride in what is happening in their communities, their state and the nation. We are a passionate group, many of us with generations in our families who...
Sometimes life hands you a series of complications and issues, but if you keep working through the mess, in the end they all come together to create a simple answer — kind of how one of those complex mathematical formulas with a mess of numbers, letters and symbols turns out to equal “y.” First of all, last summer the drain to our kitchen sink plugged up. It’s a dying, old trailer house scheduled for demolition, not the new house we’re still working on. These things happen. I...

Havre Daily News staff Industry groups are working to save a historic tradition in the U.S. Navy. As of Oct. 1, the Navy plans to make the pea coat an optional component of enlisted sailors’ seabags, replaced by the synthetic cold weather parka as the mandatory outerwear. The Navy cites a desire to reduce budget and uniform requirements as its primary reason for making the change, but this reduction in cost for the Navy comes at a price, wool and textile industry representatives say. For more than a century, the pea coat has...

Fall might mean it's time for football and volleyball at Montana State University-Northern. But it also means it's time for another popular Montana sport and that's rodeo. The Lights and Skylights are both expected to field strong rodeo squads again this season and they will once again be directed by head coach Doug Kallenberger. "We have had about a week of practice," Kallenberger said. "But the kids look good and we are super excited about a couple of our seniors Calonna...
The Montana State Bobcats and Montana Grizzlies couldn’t have asked for a better start to the 2018 season. Both teams beat Missouri Valley Conference powerhouses on the opening week of the year — and by identical 26-23 scores to boot. Now however, the Cats and the 14th-ranked Grizzlies will go in opposite directions. Montana State (1-0) will take on the second-ranked team in all of the FCS, the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Saturday in Brookings, South Dakota. It’s the secon...
While the fall might seem like a strange time for the college golf season to get underway, that's exactly what will be happening soon for the Montana State University-Northern golf teams, as both the Lights and Skylights are getting set to open their 2018-19 seasons. Last season, one thing that both teams had in common was that they were each fairly young. However, the youth and inexperience which plagued the MSU-N golf teams a season ago, can turn into a positive this season...
The Montana State University-Northern men's and women's cross country teams are still the newest program in the Frontier Conference. But that doesn't mean the Lights and Skylights are a new program, not by a long stretch. And entering the 2018 season, Northern, under head coach Chad Spangler, is looking to make strides. "I expect both teams to win, or die trying," Spangler said. "That message has been clear since day one of training camp. We can't say we're a new program...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights haven't played a road game yet this season. But that's all about to change. And, Northern's first road test of 2018 will be a big one. On Saturday night in Dillon, the Lights (0-1, 1-1) will try and bounce back from a 51-7 loss last Saturday at the hands of Rocky Mountain College, but in order to do it, they'll have to beat a very good UM-Western squad under the lights at Vigilante Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. "It will be...
Winning football games on the road in the Eastern A Conference is never easy and after losing last week at Lewistown, the Blue Ponies face what could be an even bigger challenge tonight in Laurel. After getting dispatched by the Eagles 47-6 last week in Lewistown, Havre will try to get back into the win column against 1-1 Laurel, which already owns a 38-12 win over Lewistown from the first week of the season. It will also be the first trip to Laurel in a long time for the...
Another one has left this earth; their leaving breaks our heart. It tears us up and we’re afraid, it’s rough to be apart. To cope with loss, the empty nest, we struggle and feel pain. Grieving takes time, there are some days our lives just seem to drain. Adjustment seems to take a while; our sorrow is not done? Some “work” will surely come to mind; maybe we’ll still have fun? It can be hard to accept death, what hits us first is shock. Our life seemed great, then word came in, news hit us like a rock! Sunshine did pass and sh...
You know, Lord, September is the month of a whole lot of things from grapes to lovely skies, crows cawing diligently, sunshine and winds and Summer clouds, besides, putting up the hay. Who could not deny that this same putting up of hay is something besides fun; but for all that, haying on the prairie has its poetry and its fun. No fragrance of haying is to be compared to the fragrance of prairie hay. Grapes — ah, the grape shape, the hoar frost wherewith God has seen fit to cloud the purple of His grape cluster, the way clus...
When Charley and I worked the boss’ herd on the Tiger Ridge, I don’t recall he was ever too concerned about which of us did what — just as long as we got the job done. Sometimes, Charley rode flank and I pushed — now and then I would go after the strays and Charley stayed back with the herd. I don’t think the boss was ever concerned about it — and I know the cows were not. Too bad some folks aren’t as smart as cattle. One of the biggest and most successful churches in the early years of Christianity was the congregation in Co...
