HAVRE – If there was any doubt about the Iowa Hawkeyes intentions or their focus coming into their dual with NAIA power Montana State University-Northern Friday night, that doubt went out the window real quick. The Hawkeyes, the second-ranked team in the NCAA, and 2015 national runner's up, sent their top lineup to a sold-out Armory Gymnasium, and they came away with a 51-0 win in what was a historic night for the Lights, who are ranked third in the NAIA. Iowa head coach Tom B...
The Blaine County commissioners said Monday that they are working on a response to a letter from the Fort Belknap Indian Community Council about a request made by the tribe to establish two late registration and absentee voting offices on the reservation. In the letter dated Jan. 5, the council requests that the commissioners “answer definatively yes or no” with an official Blaine County resolution to the council’s request to the county to establish two offices at the Fort Belknap Agency and Hays where people could drop...
The H, Earl Clack Memorial Museum will be closed from Saturday to Feb. 17 because of budgetary problems and to give volunteers a chance to clean up. Museum Board Chair Judi Dritshulas said the museum is running short on money. Cash-strapped Hill County commissioners, who provide some funding for the museum, are urging the museum to become self-funding by relying more on the museum’s foundation, she said. “That’s difficult to do when we are undertaking a pretty large project of our own,” she said, referring to the gradual...
From My Neighbor in Need The website http://www.myneighborinneed.org/havre is provides local citizens a way to ask for help from their community and a way for the community to give back.

When it comes to militia members taking over Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Range, many people are confused by what’s perceived as a random act, or they pass it off as the actions of some renegade kooks. It’s dangerous to minimize events through these lenses. The Oregon Occupiers represent the latest incarnation of county supremacy, a well-established doctrine of right-wing movements. Sometimes county supremacists claim county commissions can exert control over all the land within their boundaries and ignore envir...
Those who view the Environmental Protection Agency as a planet-saving benevolent dictator will apparently go to any lengths to “prove” their point. An astounding article by former Montana Public Service Commission Chairman Greg Jergeson recently asserted that the EPA’s massive new regulations on power plant CO2 emissions won’t increase energy costs to Montana consumers. It makes you wonder what kind of mushrooms he’s been eating on his hamburgers lately. While I appreciate Mr. Jergeson’s past service, his analysis of the Clea...

From Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services Cold weather means more indoor time for many Montanans. Close contact indoors often helps spread illnesses, such as norovirus, anywhere people gather together. Holiday gatherings, schools and settings such as long-term care and assisted living facilities are especially vulnerable to outbreaks. “Norovirus can spread very quickly and can make some people very ill,” Department of Public Health and Human Services Director Richard Opper said. “To protect yourself and othe...
Jackie Martin, Havre High Swimming The Havre High girls swim team did something special when the Ponies knocked off Billings Central at the Class A Invite last Saturday in Havre. And senior Jackie Martin had a big hand in that. Martin won the 100-meter butterfly in the event, with a time of 1:27.55. She also finished fourth in the 50-meter freestyle and swam several legs on Havre's winning relay teams. Martin has been a part of the HHS swim team her entire high school career...
Every year, at least one Havre or Hi-Line cowboy or cowgirl makes it to Montana's championship in the sport of rodeo. And, the 2016 will be no different. This weekend marks the 37th Annual Montana Circuit Finals, which, as always, will be held in Great Falls at the Montana ExpoPark. And Havre barrel racer Emily Kallenberger will be there. Kallenberger, the wife of Montana State University-Northern rodeo team coach Doug Kallenberger, had a big season on the circuit. She...
The holiday break came to an end for the Havre Ice Hawks high school hockey team, but the Billings Bulls made Havre's return to the ice a little more difficult. The Ice Hawks were home to face the Bulls this past weekend at the Havre Ice Dome, but Billings took both games from Havre. In the first game the Bulls blanked the Ice Hawks 9-0 on Friday night, as Havre was really out-manned, playing with just 11 skaters. In the pipes, Nic Stump saved 28 shots for Havre, while the...
The holiday break is now long gone, and that means, it's time for the girls high school basketball season to hit the heart of the year. And, it started on the Hi-Line this past week with a lot of games and some good matchups. Last Tuesday saw a big one in the District 9C as Chinook and Box Elder met in Chinook. The Bears and Sugarbeeters are two of the best in the 9C this year, but it was Box Elder which showed dominance on Tuesday night with a 60-40 win. Box Elder may be know...
It was a busy week for local Hi-Line basketball teams, as some schools played as many as three games in a five day span. And two of the teams opened the week against each other last Tuesday in Chinook. The Chinook Sugarbeeters and Box Elder Bears, who each came into the game with just one loss overall and one loss in District 9C play, went head-to-head in an important matchup, but in the end, the Bears came out on top 69-40. Jerrod Four Colors scored 22 points to lead the way...
