Havre City Council, at Wednesday’s budget meeting, voted against allowing City Court Judge Virginia Seigel to hire a new part-time clerk. Ward 4 councilmember Andrew Brekke proposed a budget that would reduce each councilmember’s monthly salary from $200 to $75 in order to pay for the clerk’s salary. Brekke said that after conversations over the last few meetings, he decided to propose that funds be shifted around in the budget to fund the part-time clerk, including some of the money coming from their own salaries. “I th...
For the last three weeks, the young Montana State University-Northern volleyball team has been going through a challenging nonconference growing process, and that process ended with two matches Saturday afternoon in Helena. At the Carroll College/Montana Tech Tournament Friday and Saturday, the Skylights played their final four matches of the preseason, going 1-3. But more importantly, Northern once again squared off against elite competition, this time taking on three...

In the opening match against Belgrade, the Panthers flexed their muscle, dispatching HHS in three straight games, 25-12, 25-6 and 25-14. Then, the Ponies capped off the night against...
The Havre High football team is not out for moral victories, instead, the Blue Ponies want to win football games. But despite losing a second consecutive game to open the season, the Ponies proved they are nobody's underdog. Going into Friday night's game at Miles City, the Cowboys were viewed as the prohibitive favorite, yet the Ponies would have none of it, going toe-to-toe with the home team for 48 minutes before falling short in heartbreaking fashion, 27-19. A week after dropping its home-opener to Whitefish, HHS (0-2) pl... Full story
You can't beat fall weather in Montana and there wasn't a better example of it than Friday in Cut Bank where the Havre High cross country teams ran their first race of the season. The Blue Ponies, who competed in the Cut Bank time trials, used the meet to determine their varsity runners for the 2014 season but also got a chance to pit themselves against some top competition from all classifications. Because the meet was a time trial, there were no team scores kept, but that didn't mean that the HHS didn't have a chance to...
