Out our way, you learn humility the hard way. It is not about pride or ego — but survival. Charlie taught me that every cowboy gets tossed from time to time — and often it is more than pride that is hurt. Indeed, despite Charlie’s skills and experience cowboying, when Freckles was spooked by a dog in the brush while moving cows, Charlie ended up in the hospital and a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He died only a few years later. Even so, he never quit — and while it must have killed him to sell his horses and the hor...
"Havre High School was the first high school in the state to have an Anime Club," Havre High School teacher and Anime Club advisor Victoria Proctor said. The group began through Proctor's youngest daughter Hope Proctor, who told her mother about six years ago, when Hope was a junior in high school, she felt that a large, widely diverse group of kids was being neglected in the activities community. "She felt that the creation of a club would invite these kids to become a part o...
You know when people say: “I wish I could be like him or her, or them”? Maybe that phrase gets used a little too often but, for me, there’s plenty of times when it’s been so true. Earlier this week, Dennis Bymaster passed away — and for me, I definitely hope I can be as much like Mr. Bymaster was as I possibly can. For anyone who didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Mr. B, as so many of us were allowed to call him, I’ll fill you in on a couple of things about him. First, he was...
Life on the road in the Frontier Conference is anything but easy. And not that they needed it, but the Montana State University-Northern men's and women's basketball teams got a stark reminder of that Thursday night. Playing at Lewis-Clark State, both the Skylights and Lights dropped close games to the Warriors, with both Northern squads nearly pulling off big comebacks. The women's game saw the No. 18 Skylights fall to the No. 25 Warriors 57-54. It was Northern's third...
It has been a roller coaster season so far, but after picking up two Northeast A wins against long-time rival Lewistown and Sidney, the Havre High boys basketball team is looking to stay on the path of success both in and out of conference play. And out in the Northeast A is where the Blue Ponies will be competing tonight and Saturday, starting with a home game against the Browning Indians at 6 in the Havre High Gymnasium and then a Saturday matchup versus the Fairfield Eagles...
I once read advice from a well-respected author who said writers of fiction should pull details from their memories, not from current experiences. Specifically, she gave the example that winter scenes should be written during the summer months. Her thought process was something about how over time our brains will remember only the most vivid and impactful details, and then writers can tap into those memories to create richer stories. My trouble with the advice, and perhaps...
There have been a lot of special nights on the ice inside the Havre Ice Dome, but this weekend, there will be more of them for the Havre Ice Hawks high school hockey team.

Not only is it the final two home games of the season for the Ice Hawks, but the series will involve the senior night for Havre, too....
The Havre High girls basketball team is on fire so far in conference play. The next two games, however, will be against tough, non-conference opponents. Sure, the Blue Ponies have played games against schools like Greats Falls High, CMR and Malta out-of-conference, so what makes these two games any different? For starters, tonight's opponent for Havre will be the Browning Indians on the road in Browning. The Indians are a former Central A rival of Havre's and are a team to be...
When it comes to the season for the Havre High swim team, there has been a good history of seeing the water in Great Falls more than once a year. Now, after attending the first Great Falls Invitational earlier this season, the Blue Ponies will be back in the water at the 2020 Great Falls Invitational in Great Falls for the second time. It has been almost a month since HHS head coach Bill Kilgore and the team have been in the pool in Great Falls. Last time, the Ponies may have...
It wasn't long ago that, as good as the Havre High wrestling program was, the one thing it couldn't boast was, a Class A four-time individual state champion. That is until star wrestlers Parker Filius and Jase Stokes changed all that on one night in February of 2017. Maybe overshadowed a bit on that same night in the Metra in Billings was then Blue Pony sophomore Martin Wilkie winning his second straight Class A state title and, by doing do, keeping his chances at becoming...
