Footsteps without feet, chairs that should be still rocking, doors slowly creaking open, books flying off shelves as if flung by invisible hands - these are the ghost encounters of Havre locals. Sue Pollington is the owner of the bookstore in the Havre Atrium. Jim Griggs is a long-time Havre businessman and owner of Griggs Printing & Publishing. Kris Shaw is a professional framer, artist and co-owner of the Atrium Mall. Pollington, Griggs and Shaw all say they've been in the p...
It was a big night in the Armory Gymnasium with four nationally-ranked NAIA teams taking the floor. But in the end, it was mostly just big for visiting Carroll College. In a showdown between No. 5 Carroll and No. 2 MSU-Northern, the Fighting Saints edged the Skylights 55-49 in a great defensive battle. Northern dropped to 2-2 in Frontier play. In the men's game, the No. 16 Saints were also up to the task, as they beat the No. 23 Lights 72-69, dropping Northern to 1-3 in the...
Republicans in Montana’s 33rd House District have at least one candidate looking to run to succeed state Rep. Mike Lang, R-Malta. Lang, a two-term member of the state House, has opted not to run for re-election and instead make a bid for the State Senate seat held by John Brenden, R-Scobey, who is unable to run for re-election because of term limits. Another individual, Michael Burns of Glasgow, filed the same paperwork in October 2015. Casey James Knudsen of Malta, confirmed Thursday that he has filed a C-1, paperwork t...
Brenda Friede, assistant manager at Gary & Leo's Fresh Foods summed it up in three words. "It was awesome," she said. She spoke as she saw store employees pack lots of food into a truck that would be unloaded at the Havre Food Bank and the Salvation Army's Havre Service Center. Almost $9,000 worth of food was collected. Throughout the Christmas season, people could buy a $40 basket of food or a $25 basket. The money went to the Feed the Hunger program. This was the largest...

The Havre High girls basketball team hasn't placed much importance on non-conference games under head coach Dustin Kraske, but after back-to-back losses, the Blue Ponies should be hungry for a win, no matter who the opponent. Tonight, the Ponies will get their chance as they hit the road to take on Conrad in a non-conference game that is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Then, Havre, which is 2-4 on the season, will look to push their record in Central A conference play to 3-0 w...
Two things are pretty rare. The Montana State University-Northern Lights don’t go 7-from-32 from the 3-point-line very often. And the UGF Argos don’t win inside the Armory Gymnasium very often either. But Thursday night, both of those things happened as the No. 23 Lights were shocked by the Argos, 68-67 in Havre. The Lights, who saw Tyler Chandler miss a game-winning three-point attempt at the buzzer, fell to 1-2 in Frontier Conference play, while the Argos won in Havre for...
The holiday break was a long one for the Havre High swim team. But, the Blue Ponies don’t have to go far to make their 2016 debut. On Saturday, the Havre Community Pool will play host to the annual Class A Invitational, a meet which features the three top Class A swimming programs in the state, including the Blue Ponies. The meet will be Havre’s second at home this season, as the Ponies hosted the Havre Invitational back on Dec. 14. But unlike the Havre Invite, Sat...
No matter what the sport, few teams go a whole season without some sort of ups and downs and so far, the Havre High boys basketball team has experienced a few of each. The Blue Ponies are 4-2 on the season, notching impressive wins over Great Falls High, CMR and Belgrade, while at the same time losing twice to Class B foe Malta. Havre's most recent loss to the Mustangs, came just last Saturday, which means HHS will look to get back on the winning track this weekend with...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights are one of the best defensive teams in all of NAIA women’s basketball. And, against one of the top offensive teams in the Frontier Conference, the Skylights, with a little help from their assistant coach, showed why they are so revered defensively. On Thursday night, in front of a big Armory Gymnasium crowd, the No. 2 Skylights shut down the visiting UGF Argos, in a 73-53 victory. And, Nicole Yazzie’s help was a big reason why...
Oh, woe is me in these dark days. A darkness, black and cold as the long nights of winter has settled into my heart, stolen my life, my livelihood, my reason for Internetting. As if the prospect of waiting nearly five months for my next paid holiday hasn't been weighing heavily enough on my heart, my desire to go on, I now suffer the lack of my dear friend, co-worker and creative companion, Computer. Oh, Computer, my beautiful workhorse, your keys are stilled, your speakers...
Laurel: Residents of Fort Belknap Indian Reservation have declared a state of emergency because of the methamphetamine epidemic. It is fantastic to see the tribal government take such a strong stand against meth, and we hope it will continue in fighting the battle. Meth has taken a terrible toll on people on the reservation and in non-reservation areas throughout the Hi-Line. We hope municipal governments throughout the Hi-Line will follow the lead of Fort Belknap. Meth use is a serious problem and it has to be dealt with...
The new year of 1916 had come and gone, and Havre’s progress continued to march on. Believe it or not, Havre had four newspapers at this time 100 years ago. We are blessed to have three of the four newspapers on microfilm at Havre-Hill County Library. In the interest of keeping the cost of copies reasonable for me, we will focus on what was printed in the Havre newspapers 100 years ago of local interest, as well as try to include news from the communities around Hill County. Out of the three, I personally like The Havre P...

The Havre community has once again come forward and donated food, money and work to get the Havre Food Bank through its toughest time of the year. So says Lorna Bjerga, the food bank manager. The community at-large, the business community and schools all came forward with donations, she said. She was especially pleased with the increase in participation from young people. Some schools contributed 400 to 600 pounds of food, she said. One rancher donated a side of beef that will...
(Jessica Simms, named the new children's librarian at Havre-Hill County Library, has written an introductory column explaining who she is and why she decided to come to Havre.) Allow me to start off by introducing myself. My name is Jessica Simms and I am the new children's librarian at Havre-Hill County Library. When I was a child, the library was a place of wonder and adventure for me. My imagination ran wild in the library. One of my favorite things to do was to look at...
When the Pharisees complained that Jesus welcomed sinful people to sit at table with them, He reminded them that the physician came to heal the sick not the healthy. When they complained Jesus' disciples did not wear long faces and fast for long periods of time as they did, He reminded them that nobody fasts, frowns, or walks around in gloom at the wedding feast – for the joy of the bride and groom are honored with the joy of the wedding guests. - Mark 2:15-20 Out our way, I o...
