Work has begun installing a chiller unit in the Hill County Courthouse, which Hill County Building Manager Daryl Anez said should be operational in about two weeks. "Just in time for winter," he said jokingly. The unit was originally meant to be installed back in June, but the pandemic slowed the project down considerably as parts needed for the installation faced significant shipping delays. The Hill County Courthouse had been without a working chiller unit all summer. Nault...

Mike Lillie liked a saying that goes, "There is more to life than increasing its speed." Perhaps, it rang true to him, given that he lived his life pursuing dreams with passion and gifting everyone he encountered with sincere help and, very often, hearty laughter. Mike passed away Sept. 7, 2020, in Havre, Montana, after spending his last days doing what he loved, enjoying family and the outdoors in northern Montana.

It was an exciting and productive start for the Havre High cross country teams, with the Blue Ponies taking advantage of opening the season at home.

Friday, the Blue Ponies will travel to Lewistown for the Fergus Invitational, a meet that should once again feature top Class A, B and C competition. Yet, Havre, under new head coach Kari Filius, was also already up to the challenges of top...
The Havre High golf teams went first. In the high school sports return to play, no sport has been going longer in the COVID-19 pandemic than Class AA and A golf.

For the Blue Ponies, this week marks the end of the regular season, as Havre travels to the Billings Central Invite today and the Laurel Invite Friday. And it's been a unusual, but still rewarding regular season for Havre head coach George Ferguson, who...

The conference offered a chance to mingle with real writers, to talk with agents and editors, to attend numerous workshops; an immersion in the literary world. Already, I knew I was not a real writer. I did not set a schedule to write daily, come fire or flood or dark of night. When my babies were babies I did not lock myself in the bathroom with my p...
