PARIS — Diplomats from around the world pledged to fight Islamic State militants “by any means necessary” as Iraq asked allies to thwart the extremists wherever they find sanctuary. Iran and the United States ruled out coordinating with each other, leaving Baghdad’s government caught between two powerful and antagonistic allies. Neither Iran nor Syria, which together share most of Iraq’s borders, was invited to the international conference in Paris, which opened as a pair of French reconnaissance jets took off over Iraqi ski...

After a chilly, frosty, snowy mid-September week last week, the weather has turned around this week with forecasters predicting summery 80s for highs and lows in the 50s this week. How that will proceed in the months ahead depends on who is talking, with almanacs predicting bitter cold and plenty of snow in Montana through the winter, but National Weather Service predicting a good chance of El Niño conditions with above-normal temperatures and below-normal snowfall. Last week, a storm blew in from Canada, missing Havre and po...
I was very pleased with your recent front-page article describing the changes that have taken place at Hays-Lodge Pole School under the supervision of a new school board and a highly qualified new school superintendent, Margaret Campbell. As your article noted, the large grant the school received and innovations made at the school were greeted by a visit from Denise Juneau, the excellently qualified Montana superintendent of public instruction. Particularly, I appreciated the remarks made by Campbell and her description of...
Editor: As a U.S. Forest Service retiree, I know the benefits of a well-managed forest. Over the last 20-plus years, I have seen the federal government's "on the ground" forest management deteriorate. Lack of timber sales and excessive access closures have not served the public or the resource well. Many years ago I helped found Montanans For Multiple Use as a way to involve the public in the decision-making process of forest planning. We opposed the Forest Service spending public funds to rip out dozens upon dozens of...
Last week was merely a warmup for the Havre High boys and girls cross country teams. In Malta however, the Blue Ponies raced for the first time with team points on the line. Havre High was in Malta Saturday for the Malta Invitational. The meet featured teams and runners from the Hi-Line and other areas, and it also featured Glasgow's continued dominance in area cross country. While the Glasgow boys and girls both finished first Saturday in Malta, the Blue Pony boys placed...
Football coaches always talk about the importance of executing in all three phases of the game; offense, defense and special teams. But most people just write that off as coach speak with special teams often being overlooked. Yet, as the Montana State University-Northern Lights showed Saturday, failing to execute on special teams can cost a team dearly. The Lights, who entered their contest Saturday against the ninth-ranked Battlin’ Bears of Rocky Mountain College as huge underdogs, held their own against the powerful B...

One thing that defines great teams is that they know how to win. It isn't always pretty, but it doesn't have to be. At the end of the day, a win is a win. Saturday, Rocky Mountain College showed why it's a great football team. The Battlin' Bears didn't bring their "A" game to Blue Pony Stadium in a 32-18 win over the Montana State University-Northern Lights, but when it was all said and done, they had more points on the scoreboard and that is all that matters. Despite being...

But the senior quarterback was not satisfied with the play of the Montana offense. "I thought overall we played pretty well on offense," Johnson said. "But we missed a ton of opportunities and had a few key penalties that took us out of our rhythm." Johnson, who sat out last...
There are no moral victories at the varsity level of high school football, especially when you're a proud football program like the Havre Blue Ponies are. But, if the Ponies can take anything away from their bitter 14-13 loss to the Sidney Eagles Friday night at Blue Pony Stadium, it's that they have a strong and physical defense, capable of shutting down a powerful offensive attack. Sidney was that attack Friday night. Prior to their game with the Blue Ponies, the Eagles had...

The tournament ran Friday and Saturday in Great Falls, where the Blue Ponies went 0-6...
It might be that the rest of the Frontier Conference is getting back at the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team for the way the Skylights ran through the league a year ago. Or, it might be that the Skylights are a young team, still learning, still growing, and still adjusting. But whatever the case may be, Northern is off to a difficult 0-2 start in Frontier play. After falling at Lewis-Clark State in their conference opener Thursday night, the Skylights were...
A golfer has to be brave to play high school golf in Montana. At least brave enough to face the elements for 18 holes, which is exactly what the Havre High golf teams did this past weekend at Beaver Creek Golf Course. Fortunately, the weather was not too frightening for the Ponies, but the feeling of fall was definitely in the air. Saturday Yet, the cold, blustery day did not stop the Ponies from putting together a solid performance for the Havre Invitational, winning the...
To defeat the nationally ranked Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears, the Montana State University-Northern Lights knew they would have to play a near perfect game. Unfortunately, the Lights did the exact opposite. MSU-Northern made mistake after mistake and missed out on an opportunity to capture a signature win over the No. 9 Bears. On a picture perfect day at Blue Pony Stadium Saturday, the Lights proved they are capable of hanging with the Bears. But five turnovers and a...
Football is a game of emotion, with momentum constantly changing back and forth. Against Sidney, the Havre High football team felt both the emotional highs and lows of football on a roller coaster night. In a memorable affair that went down to the final seconds, Sidney squeaked out a win by the smallest of margins with a 14-13 victory over Havre at Blue Pony Stadium Friday night. The game, which was close throughout, turned on a couple of key plays late in the fourth quarter....
