Ryan Divish Havre Daily News Sports Editor [email protected]@havredailynews.com In its last appearance at the State Class B Track Meet, the Chinook High School track team made the most of it, despite having just a handful of competitors. The Sugarbeeters qualified five girls for the state meet in Bozeman, but those five girls were good enough to score 27 points to finish seventh in the overall team standings. Missoula Loyola won the girls team title with 68 points, while Seeley-Swan was second with 62. On the...

Ryan Divish Havre Daily News Sports Editor [email protected]@havredailynews.com The Havre Northstars introduction to wooden bats was a cold one at best.

Havre opened the tourney Friday evening with a 2-0 loss to the Great Falls Electrics. The Northstars managed just one hit - a single by Eric Fanning, souring a solid pitching performance by Sean Peterson. The... Full story

"Don Holst is an exciting... Full story

Ellen Thompson Havre Daily News [email protected]@havredailynews.com A quilt was Edith Svenson's treasure map, and she found her treasure in county courthouses, local cemeteries and through the mail.

Svenson will present her final product, "Friendship Quilt" - the book - at a book signing at the Gildford Mercantile on Friday afternoon and at the Ha...

of passage GILDFORD - "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." A line from a Semisonic song served as an appropriate class motto for the six people who took the leap from high school to the future at the 2005 KG graduation on Sunday. The same could be said for the 14 students on the last flight of the Blue Sky Eagles in Rudyard on Saturday afternoon. They represented the end of one beginning. The new beginning starts in the fall, when the remaining students from both schools come together as the North... Full story

Larry Kline Havre Daily News [email protected]@havredailynews.com Gov. Brian Schweitzer's whistle-stop tour brought out 300 people Wednesday from Havre, the Hi-Line, the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation, and as far away as Medicine Hat, Texas, Chicago and Washington, D.C., to protest the Bush administration's proposal to eliminate funding for Amtrak.

The (Kalispell) Daily Inter Lake POLSON (AP) - The Cessna banks hard, turning tightly with a wing pointed down toward the signal emanating from a radio collar on one of the wolves in Northwest Montana's Hog Heaven Pack. The wolf is hidden in a timber thicket far west of Polson, and no more than 200 yards away is a mother bison with a calf. These bison are not wild. They are livestock. Within a radius of no more than two miles is another collared wolf, two large clusters of bison and a single elk. The collared wolves of the...

Associated Press Writer KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, Alaska - The moose were impatient for their supper. As soon as the four ungulates saw biologist Tom Lohuis, they began stomping around in their stables, letting out occasional guttural moans. It was time for their final experimental meal in a five-day research project carried out next to Lohuis' log cabin office. ''Hey, hey, hey,'' he said as 7-year-old Melody shoved her snout into the dish as soon as he set it down. ''They know exactly what's coming.'' What goes in, of...

WEST GLACIER (AP) - Rangers at Glacier National Park killed a 185-pound black bear a day after it threatened a man and his three sons, sending the boys under a car for cover. John Hayden of Gillette, Wyo., and his sons encountered the male bear Saturday after walking about 100 yards into the woods. They tried to back away, but the bear pursued. Hayden reported the animal shredded a shirt that he tossed in an attempt at distraction, and he then hit the bear with another shirt. Undeterred, the animal tried to swipe at the boys... Full story
