For two months, 18-year-old David Gonzales has enjoyed living on his own for the first time, right next door to his therapist at the Center for Mental Health, but that's ending soon. David Gonzales is one of a half-dozen people, mostly fellow Center clients, who have to leave their homes in the Masonic building at 3rd Avenue and 3rd Street at the order of the Mason's board of directors. Over the past year, the building supervisor Mike Conley has allowed Center patients to stay in rooms on the third floor of the building for...
After reviewing and discussing needs and programs addressing Hi-Line mental health issues, including an ongoing survey with opinions on major mental health issues, local health care providers reached a consensus on two keys to improving local services on the issue: collaboration and advocacy. Some 20 health care and mental health professionals met in Havre last week at a mental health needs assessment meeting.

Montana is a powerhouse. For generations, our natural resources have powered this nation's homes, cities and economy.

On top of all that, our growing biofuels industry stands to one day make our nation and military independent from foreign oil. B...
Montana parents want and need choice in K-12 education. Fifty percent of Montanans would choose an option other than traditional public school for their kids, if possible (see EdChoice.org/MTpoll). So we were not surprised when the ACE Scholarship program we launched earlier this year was wildly oversubscribed. ACE provides partial funding to families with financial need so they can access the best educational setting for their child. Using ACE scholarships, this fall 500 Montana families have benefited. Sadly, many kids...
Editor: I will begin this letter by thanking Park Board Chairman Steve Mariani and Park Superintendent Chad Edgar for meeting with us following the article in the Havre Daily News dated on Oct. 3, which contained erroneous information about Youth Trapper Camp,Inc. We were able to sit down and intelligently discuss various aspects of the article and come to some positive solutions. Youth Trapper Camp, Inc. is not a "club" as stated many times in the Oct. 3 article. It is an incorporated organization recognized by the Internal...
Editor: Montanans vote this fall on Legislative Referendum 121 against illegal immigration that has national significance. If we approve LR 121, we will have demonstrated that even in "remote" Montana, citizens are concerned about the serious costs imposed on public budgets by illegal aliens living among us. As described officially by our Attorney General's office, "LR-121 prohibits providing state services to people who are not U.S. citizens and who have unlawfully entered or unlawfully remained in the United States. Under...

In football, there's not two phases of the game, but three, and the third one might be overlooked, but often can be the difference between winning and losing. The Frontier Conference had a stellar year in 2011, in terms of special team's standouts, and because almost every player who earned Frontier All-Conference Special team's honors in 2011 returns, this year is going to be even better. When it comes to special team's performers, the Montana State University-Northern...

Just before students head back into the buildings of the Havre Public School districts, the Board of Trustees figured out how to pay the $13 million to educate them through the 2012-2013 school year. The balanced budget, which required no additional levies this year, is a few hundred thousand dollars higher than last year's, because of both last year's enrollment boost and $20,000 the state gave for a recent interlocal agreement between the elementary and high school districts. Last year's budget ended up with a large...

Charles Maitland 'Chuck' Simpson Charles Maitland "Chuck" Simpson, 88, was born at home in Nutley, N.J., on Jan., 9, 1924, to Scottish immigrants, Charles Simpson and Jeanie Campbell Maitland.

He had two older sisters, Sadie and Mary. In January 1942, he graduated from Nutley High School, where he was described in his senior yearbook as...
WASHINGTON — Escalating an increasingly acrimonious campaign, Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney dug in Wednesday on his charge that President Barack Obama's campaign was being driven by "division and attack and hatred" and called on the president to lift the tone of political discourse. Romney went on national television to say he thinks Obama is "running just to hang onto power, and I think he would do anything in his power" to remain in office.

BILLINGS — Grass and freshly planted trees are sprouting in a new town park that sits atop the site of a vermiculite plant that once spewed asbestos dust across the mountain community of Libby — a welcome dose of normalcy for a city that has become synonymous with lung disease and death. It's a major milestone for the mining town of about 3,000 people near the Canadian border where an estimated 400 people to date have been killed by asbestos exposure. More than 1,700 have been sickened. Lethal dust from the WR. Grace and Co....
PARIS (AP) — France's far-right National Front said Sunday that it plans to sue Madonna after the singer showed a video at a Paris concert that contained an image of the party's leader with a swastika on her forehead. The video has been shown at other concerts on the singer's tour, and the party has expressed its outrage before, warning that it would take action if the video were shown in France. On Saturday night, Madonna played it at the Stade de France. National Front spokesman Alain Vizier said Sunday that the party would...
The Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team played two crucial league games over the weekend, and by the results, it looks as if the North Stars will head into the district tournament as the No. 4 team. On Saturday the North Stars were on the road, facing the Tri-County Cardinals. Havre hovered around the top of the district all season long, but looks to have landed in the No. 4 spot with several league splits to end the season. On Saturday the North Stars earned yet another split in the doubleheader, losing the...

The addition of Dickinson State University has changed...
