Student safety is always our primary concern so, so we navigate situations with that always in mind.” Gum said t...
As dire cold grips the Hi-Line, along with much of the U.S., Havre Salvation Army reports that they are in immediate danger of running out of funds to help people this month, potentially putting the area’s homeless population at even greater risk. Havre Salvation Army Director Trina Crawford said the recent cold has been so bad that they have already drained this month’s budget for providing lodging to homeless people and have had to start drawing from other parts of their budget just to keep people alive. “With circu...
While the frigid cold seems poised to lessen on the Hi-Line in the next few days the area will likely see an inundation of snow as the National Weather Service upgrades its Winter Storm advisory, set to start tonight, to a more severe winter storm warning. The warning begins tonight at 11 p.m. and will be active until 11 a.m. Thursday for Havre, Rocky Boy, Lewistown and Hilger, as well as Hill County and the Bear Paw Mountains broadly and the south of Blaine and Fergus...
“Perfection is the enemy of progress,” according to Winston Churchill. It’s the time of year when we try to do too much, change too quickly. Already expectations are lowering, and reality is setting in. The sky is gray, the temperatures cold, and I am coming to grips with the fact that I cannot eat toffee every day. (At least, not a lot of toffee every day.) It’s the mid-January new year letdown. More people die this time of year than on average. I imagine they make it through...
Human trafficking is not just a big city problem. It’s happening right here in Montana. Which is why, during National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, I’m encouraging Montanans to learn the signs of human trafficking and report it if they see it. If folks don’t know what it is and how to report it, they can’t help us stop it. Let’s call human trafficking what it is: modern-day slavery. Traffickers — often organized criminal enterprises — are profiting at the expense of adults and children who are forced to perform labor...

That’s right, I said it. Whether or not the Montana Grizzlies beat the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in the FCS national championship game was, in so many ways, irrelevant. Don’t misunderstand me, though, all of us who play or coach or just love to compete, we all think second sucks, and I’m certain, getting that far and coming up short, it hurts really bad. I’m sure, for the Griz players and coaches, the hurt was immense that day in Frisco, Texas. I get that. We all get tha...
Due to extremely low temperatures over the weekend, the Havre High boys and girls basketball teams postponed their road games at Glendive.
