State Rep. Jacob Bachmeier, D-Havre and people who depend on state-funded services spoke out against pending state budget cuts at a rally on the steps of the Hill County Courthouse Thursday. The event was streamed live on Facebook. Bachmeier said to the crowd of about 30 people, some who carried signs that said "resist and persist" and "save our essential public services," that Montana House Speaker Austin Knudsen, R- Culbertson and Senate President Scott Sales, R-Bozeman, are...
When the East Fork Fire blazed across nearly 22,000 Hill and Blaine County acres in the Bear Paw Mountains, many Montana volunteers rose to the challenge and fought with what they had to offer. North-central Montanans gave their time, spent their resources, cooked food to give away, bestowed their expertise, risked their tools and equipment - some even their lives - to help those in need, to help battle an inferno that will affect some for years to come. Some people were repor...
Editor, I would like to give a big thank you to all the folks who pitched in and helped out during our recent snowstorm. Of course, thank you to our city services and community members for tree and snow removal, our broadcasters for keeping us updated, our utility services and service people in the field for their timely response in restoring services, for neighbors helping neighbors and checking in on one another. Specifically, thank you to my neighbors who helped me remove fallen limbs from my car and from in front of my...

Out our way, some of the old west still lingers. It is not just the ranchers and cowhands we see in town, or the trail drives up to Beaver Creek that remind us of what was once the norm, but also critters. We see the deer and the antelope "play" from time to time as we drive between towns; we hear and sometimes spot coyotes just off the highway, and even hear tell of grizzly bear sightings on the high plains east of the national parks. But for me, the scariest of all was a...
Proverbs 21:20 In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. In my last article on aging we looked at the topics of nutrition, housing, and transportation. All of these areas require finances. Nutritious food, adequate housing and reliable transportation are not free. Salvation is God’s free gift to us but it appears that everything else has a cost. The man of God should avoid all extremes. Some people hoard while others have huge debt. The Bible teaches us that Godliness w...
You know, Lord, sometimes one hears precious things little children say, or a friend shares what their little one said. Here are several that show just how much God works in the lives of children. “Jacque” shared that she and her 3- year-old son watched a jet leave a trail of smoke in the sky. Suddenly, Teddy exclaimed: “Mum!!! Does God have an eraser???” When she asked him why, he said, “Because – just look up there and see!!! As soon as that jet marks up the sky, God is rubbing it off!” She said she smiled and then she...
It’s autumn now, we know you’ve gone, just wishing you were here. The leaves do change, the wind does blow, and snowflakes may fall near! We know it was your time to go; this year has whizzed by fast! Summer did come and now it’s gone, warm summer nights are passed. You’re in our thoughts, you are still loved; you’re missed so very much We sense that you are close to us; we almost feel your touch. Dear ones we’ve loved don’t disappear; we sense that they’re close by. We keep in mind some special thoughts, and sometimes, yes,...
When it comes to high school football the kicking game can sometimes be an adventure. But with Max Olson, the Havre Blue Ponies may have found a long-term answer, that will be anything but a weakness. Olson, who is a freshman kicker/kickoff specialist for the Ponies, is in the midst of his first football season. However, he does have a background in soccer, which helped him earn the job as Havre High's starting kicker. "It has been really fun so far," Olson said of playing foo...
It seemed like perfect timing for the Montana State University-Northern rodeo and golf teams. Just as snow started to fly, both MSU-N teams were wrapping up their fall season. The Northern rodeo team, under the direction of head coach Doug Kallenberger, competed in the final fall rodeo of the Big Sky Region last weekend, as the Lights and Skylights were in Dillon for the UM-Western Rodeo. On the women's side, the Skylights finished an outstanding third with 140 points. Tara...
It’s home again for the Montana State Bobcats, and the road again for the Montana Grizzlies. And considering where both teams stand, both games are of the utmost importance. The Bobcats, who lost a tight battle to nationally ranked Weber State last Saturday in Bozeman, will remain in Bobcat Stadium, but, give their 1-3 start to the season, they can ill afford to fall to the winless Portland State Vikings (0-1, 0-4). And while MSU has battled four straight nationally ranked o...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights drove 10 hours east to pick up their first win of the 2017 campaign. Now, they're looking to start a winning streak with another long bus ride, this time out west. The Lights (0-4, 1-4) return to Frontier Conference play after beating Mayville State 43-29 last Saturday in Mayville, North Dakota, when they visit the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers for a Saturday night game in LaGrande, Oregon. Kickoff at Community Stadium is set for 7 p....
After putting together three straight wins late last month, the Havre High volleyball team suffered a pair of setbacks last week and will now look to get back into the win column with consecutive non-conference matches tonight and Saturday. The Ponies, who are 3-8 overall and 0-3 in the Central A conference, will take on a pair of Northern B opponents, starting with tonight's match in Cut Bank and wrapping up Saturday, when Havre and Conrad will meet inside the HHS Gymnasium....
The road has been good to the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team so far in Frontier Conference play. And that good fortune continued Thursday night in Dillon. After three straight losses in the Armory Gymnasium, the Skylights emphatically jumped back into the win column Thursday night with a three-game sweep over the UM-Western Bulldogs. Northern won by scores of 25-21, 25-21 and 25-20, giving the Skylights a season sweep over Western. Northern also beat the...
Despite being winless, the Havre High football team still has plenty of fight left in it and tonight in Billings, the Blue Ponies will take the fight to highly-touted Billings Central in a rematch of the 2004 Class A state championship game. But while the Rams (5-1) are undoubtedly a state-title contender this season, the Ponies are still trying to find the win column and if they are going to escape Billings with a win, Havre will need a herculean effort. Kickoff between the...
