After a two-week hiatus, the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball club returns to Legion Field this Sunday to play a doubleheader. The Northstars started the season undefeated but got swept by the Bitterroot Bucs in a doubleheader the last time they played. Havre hopes their two-week break has allowed them to improve in order to rebound against the Glasgow Reds and Helena Reps this weekend. "We've had a couple weeks to recover from that and we've had a couple good weeks...
The federal government has changed the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States,, with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying Thursday that people who are fully vaccinated don’t need to wear masks most of the time. “Well, today is a great day for America in our long battle with the coronavirus,” President Joe Biden said from the Rose Garden Thursday after CDC issued its new guidance. Until more was known about the effectiveness of vaccines and the chance of vaccinated people transmitting the virus, CDC h...
As local conflict over the future of beaver population management in Beaver Creek Park continues, a billboard sponsored by Trap Free Montana Public Lands has been set up on U.S. Highway 2 at the east end of town. The Hill County Park Board's Rules and Regulations Committee has been holding a series of meetings meant to gauge the public's opinion on the long-controversial issue of beaver trapping, which some argue is the only efficient way of controlling beaver populations in...
The wastewater treatment plant in Chinook is in search of funding for preventive measures to stop water from the Milk River from reaching the plant. “Right at the moment, it’s just creeping closer to our plant. That’s all, really. So we’re looking for some funding at the moment to maybe stabilize the bank, so it doesn’t slough off any closer,” Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager Eric Miller said. Greg Jergeson, a member of the state St. Mary Rehabilitation Working Group looki...

Editor, Hopefully most of the citizenry of Havre have become aware of the billboard along the highway east of Havre. If not, please check it out. The billboard was paid for by an anti-trapping organization, “Trap Free Montana Public Lands” based in Hamilton. Their anti-trapping activity has been concentrated mostly in the western part of the state. It seems coincidentally suspicious that a billboard with a message to “Protect Beaver” appears in Havre while meetings addressing the management of beaver in Beaver Creek Park th...
We’ve all got answers to life’s problems, but they ain’t all interesting, so today I want to talk a little bit about innovative solutions. Remember the Suez Canal fiasco a few months ago when a ship captain accidentally grounded a cargo ship against the canal’s soft, sandy bank and the waterway was blocked for six days? (Side note: I thought the entire canal was lined with concrete but, obviously, I am not well-read or attentive to news from 2004 and 2006 when this happene...
Without a doubt, improving access to high-speed internet was necessary before the pandemic, but since COVID hit, the “digital divide” in Montana has only become more apparent. Tuesday May 11, Gov. Greg Gianforte signed “The ConnectMT Act — To establish broadband deployment,” Senate Bill 29, into law. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Jason Ellsworth of Hamilton and passed the Montana Legislature overwhelmingly. This new law leverages $275 million in federal money available through the American Rescue Plan Act to expand br...

After defeating Glasgow, 15-2, to start the trip, the Blue Ponies continued to dominate on the road with a 14-0 win at Sidney Thursday.

It started with a bases-loaded single from Sam Lovenguth to left field to drive in two runs. Quinn McDonald...

Out our way, except for a few mountain lions, I saw very few predators on the Tiger Ridge. The land is fenced and the herds are pretty large. I have seen an angry cow or two stamping her feet and shaking her head before charging a cowhand who annoyed her calf, so I suppose coyotes steer clear. But back in the Wyoming sandhills, the herd was small and fewer fences. Coyotes tended to abound out there and while mama remained mama, occasionally a calf would get taken. A friend of...

Feelings of exhaustion, irritability, and mental fogginess are our bodies' normal response to the trauma of pandemic life. Dr. Jessica Gold, a psychiatrist at...
You know, Lord, the cloud formations, from our point of view here on our hilltop, are breathtaking! We do need rain in our area. One minute it looks like rain clouds bounding over the horizon; a bit later, the sun is bursting through again in a teasing way. The rain drops are so few and far between in our particular area and the valley of trees below really do need a wash job. So glad You are in charge of the weather, Lord, and that You can handle that job. That would be quite...
