After some tough weeks on the road, the Montana State University-Northern football team returns to Tilleman Field for its homecoming game this Saturday. The Lights will face another tough Frontier Conference team in Carroll College, but MSU-N head coach Jerome Souers is happy to be able to do it at home this weekend. "It'll be good to be back home. The last two road games were pretty tough on us so we need to heal up this week," Souers said. "We need to rest up and we need to...
In honor of Indigenous People’s Day Monday, Oct. 10, Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation is holding its Ojibwe Neyio Spiritual Run, a biking, canoeing and running event that both the tribal community and the general public are invited to participate in to bring awareness to mental health, cancer awareness, suicide prevention and cultural awareness. The Spiritual Run will start at 8 a.m. at Crier Hill near the agency, said co-organizer Wilfred “Huck” Sunchild, with the course...
The Hill County Commission, with commissioners Mark Peterson and Jake Strissel attending remotely by phone, approved a significant raise for the Hill County Sheriff’s Office at their weekly business meeting Thursday, drawing criticism from other county officials who felt it was unfair that their departments were not being treated similarly. The resolution passed by the commission provides an increase to sheriff’s office employees, some up to 13.7 percent, though Hill County Commissioner Diane McLean said the calculation is sl...
Authorities announced that two people have been arrested in connection with a string of vandalism incidents in Blaine and Chouteau counties that caused hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage and is linked to the shooting of a deer, all occurring late Aug. 17 or early Aug. 18. Jasper Wendland, 19, and Devon Nelson, 18, both were served warrants out of both Blaine and Chouteau counties, Blaine County Sheriff John Colby said Thursday. Both Wendland and Nelson were charged in...
Candidates in some local contested races have agree to participate in a candidate forum Monday starting at 5 p.m. in Hensler Auditorium. A candidate who has to travel a fair distance to the forum and be on the road early Tuesday requested the 5 p.m. start time. The Havre Democrats have announced they will stream the forum live on their Facebook page and it should be available there for people to watch later, as well.

We all know a bear or two, right? Maybe not personally, but we know about black bears, grizzly bears, polar bears and giant panda bears. Perhaps you also have heard of Eurasian brown bears, Asiatic black bears, Andean bears, sun bears and the unfortunately named sloth bear. Surely you’ve heard of koala bears, which aren’t bears at all, and teddie bears, which aren’t real bears, either, but for different reasons. If, though, you have never heard of water bears, you should sit b...
Beaver Creek Park is about to lose a beautiful icon and the best used venue for weddings, youth groups and reunions. It is the Beaver Lodge. Built in 1974 and opened in 1976, this log structure has been used by over a 100,000 people in the past 50-plus years. Many memories were born in the lodge, but the fate of a lodge is now in the hands of Hill County voters. Within a year or two the lodge will need to come down due rotting logs, walls moving because of age, weight from the roof and snow. Around 2009, rotting logs were...
The first week in October is always a difficult week for me. It marks the anniversary of the death of my baby. He’d been alive that morning. He died that night when he was born. Still a girl myself, I’d been married only a year and a half. My family did the thing they did best. They hid away all the pain and hurt. I thought that is what everyone did. Stuffed the grief into a hole and covered it with concrete blocks. Or heavy weight of a sort. Of course, over the years, the...
Recently, a Guest View by Tammi Fisher posted in the Missoulian on September 18, 2022 expressed the author’s disdain of comments at a North Central Pachyderm meeting reported by the Havre Daily News, comments made by a former Montana legislator and current developer of a scorecard that the Montana GOP adopted to rank and comment on Montana legislators. Such scorecards are not for the purpose of determining best representation for Montana constituents, but to advance the agenda of the GOP machine. We thank Miss Fisher for b...
As a pediatric hospice and palliative medicine physician for many years, I can speak directly to the unfathomable harm that a ballot initiative called LR-131 would cause. Titled the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, the initiative is an extreme, unnecessary, and cruel limitation of family decision-making that you’ll see on the ballot this November. Although LR-131 purports to be about protecting infants, it requires health care providers to perform invasive and painful medical procedures to preserve the life of an infant ...
Frances Connor Minnick passed away September 29th while a resident of the Northern Montana Memory Care Center. She had just celebrated her 99th birthday, ending a full and community-filled life. Fran was born September 14, 1923, in Goldstone, Montana, a small community 30 miles north of Rudyard. She was one of Robert and Lizzie Connor's two girls in a farming family of 11 children who relocated from Nebraska to homestead in Montana. The Connor family was a happy, fun-loving gr...

Emily Mayer Manager, H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum An unknown object in the Clack Museum's collection was featured in last month's column and has generated several responses and even visitors coming to the Museum to see the artifact for themselves! One suggested it was used to tighten something on machinery, another suggested it was homemade and had a specific purpose, and another still suggested it was a trivet holder, with the tabs on the back side of the artifact used to...

Homecoming is finally here for Havre High School and the HHS football team is ready to celebrate. Tonight at Blue Pony Stadium, the Blue Ponies will host Lockwood for their homecoming game. As the community comes together to celebrate, HHS head coach Jake Eldridge hopes to put on a good show for them tonight. "We're really excited about the opportunity to hopefully win another ball game at home," Eldridge said. "Our kids have been working really hard so we're ready to rock...
Homecoming week will cap off Saturday afternoon with the Havre High volleyball team hosting Miles City at Havre High Gymnasium. Last season, the Cowgirls defeated the Blue Ponies in Havre, so HHS head coach Stephanie Huse looks forward to facing the Cowgirls once again "We are definitely excited that they're coming to us and we're able to see them at home this year," Huse said. "It's homecoming week so there's been a lot of excitement and energy around this week and it's nice...
Throughout most of the season, the Havre High cross country teams will compete in regular meets where the runners race together as a team. But on Thursday in Helena, the Blue Ponies competed in the Capital City 7 of 7, where the top seven runners from the HHS boys and girls teams competed individually. There were seven races each on the boys and girls side on Thursday. An individual Pony competed in each race depending on their personal record for the team. For example, the...
I keep saying it. But it bares repeating - The Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats are really good this season. The numbers don't lie, as both the Griz and Cats are off to perfect starts against FCS competition, and are a combined 10-1 so far, the Cats' lone loss coming to FBS Oregon State. Yes, against FCS, and Big Sky teams, UM and MSU are perfect. A perfect record that is. The FCS Polls also tell the tale to both program's hot starts. Montana is No. 3 in the FCS and...
Out our way, you know the old saying, "Ain't a horse cain't be rode nor a cowboy cain't be throwed!" As a really lousy cowhand, I got tossed with alarming regularity. Folks asked if I rode broncs - as my nickname is "Bronco" - and I would answer, "Yes ... but never on purpose!" Ole Doc - the four-left-footed cowpony who regularly sent me flying as he stumbled, tripped and sometimes got a "stitch in the side" - tossed me a great many times. I ended up in the ER with sprained...
Recently, I had the privilege of joining a group of 10 other people to do a retreat at the Montana Women's Prison in Billings, Montana. It was a good experience where we spent three days with 20 incarcerated women. These women shared a lot of deep things about their lives and struggles. My responsibilities were to lead hymn singing and small group Bible studies. There are many types of ministries that we can participate in. Youth ministry, teaching Sunday school, adult Bible...
You know, Lord, for every action, there will be a reaction. Various stories from several states told about beavers toppling trees onto power lines, knocking out power to a large swath of customers. Power repairmen said "Those marks are consistent with a beaver having brought the tree down and there are wood chips around the tree." Beavers felling trees are an action; the reaction is a huge power outage, possible fires and roads being closed. The problem must be fixed, which th...
