A story in Tuesday’s edition of the Havre Daily News about a Hill County Park Board committee hearing comments on control of beaver in Beaver Creek Park characterized Lou Hagener as a long-time advocate of non-lethal control of beaver. Hagener said that early in his natural resources management carreer he was a tacit supporter of lethal trapping but, after 40 years in the business, came to realize he was being closed-minded and that natural processes are something to work with and not against....
Editor, How can 57 Republican legislators support a bill to privatize schools in Montana, House Bill 329? They agree with this bill, requested by the Governor, who has a big stake in an exclusive private school, and would benefit from school privatization. Montana will become a regulatory nightmare if this bill passes, especially with regard to the education of our children. This bill is likely unconstitutional. Which agency will regulate the giveaway to rich people who want to start their own school? With no regulation of...
True Montanans fully understand Virginia Woolf’s expression that “The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think.” We are trained from early times to know that sunny days won’t last, that rains likely fall when the hay is down in windrows, that ants infest every picnic.

Put simply, getting America vaccinated is our ticket to halting the death...
Every election cycle, you can count on Republican candidates promising to reduce the size and cost of government, and in general, getting government out of our businesses and out of our daily lives. Yet as every session of the legislature demonstrates, that pledge — for the majority of Republican lawmakers — has a distinctly hollow ring. Not unlike their Democratic counterparts, the GOP’s commitment to controlling government and reducing welfare dependency is highly selective. For their friends, the free money game conti...
Havre Daily News Staff Coaching tennis isn't something Havre High head man George Ferguson does for a couple months a year. For the last 19 years, it's been a way of life. So imagine how he felt when the 2020 season was called off due to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, though, it wasn't his feelings he was concerned with. No, Ferguson felt for his tennis teams, and for spring sports athletes all over Montana. "It was something I still haven't gotten...
