With right-to-work legislation pending in the Montana Legislature, discussions of unions and opposition to them is again surfacing in the state and in this area. In a town and state that has so many jobs that are structured with a union, the term “right-to-work” can be a very controversial subject. Right-to-work broadly refers to laws that ban unions from requiring dues or fair-share fees in unionized workplace. People who are for the right-to-work argue it is beneficial to development and that employees should not be for...
Hill County Commissioner Diane McLean announced that the county has received over $1,000,000 in funding from the state to reimburse COVID-19 related expenses at this month’s country officials’ meeting.

Despite daily confirmed case numbers of COVID-19 generally dropping in the area and in the state, government mandates being rescinded or expiring and vaccine rolling out, Havre Daily News hopes people still take the disease seriously and treat it like a deadly illness rampant in their communities. That’s what it is. As of reports this morning, close to 100 million people in the world have contracted the disease and more than 2 million people have died. The U.S. has seen nearly 25 million cases and more than 400,000 people h...
Because I think being up-to-date in the news also means reading the “Odd News” articles, I occasionally get a sense that human and animals lead parallel lives, or maybe we are influenced by the same forces in the universe. I don’t know, but the correlations seem uncanny sometimes. Humans have been increasingly aggressive and recently erupted into serious attacks, with bloodshed, at the Capitol building, the political home of our national lawmakers. Well, get this, people in a...

For now, Frontier Conference football is still a go. But, for yet another time since the coronavirus pandemic began, the conference has altered its plans. The last announcement for a spring football season came back in October, where a seven-game conference slate starting in February was planned. This plans changed Thursday however. The Frontier announced in a press release a plan to play a five-game spring season that wouldn't start until March 13, with official practices...
The Montana State University-Northern wrestling team was finally making its Armory Gymnasium debut, albeit without fans. But, the one and only time Northern got to wrestle in its own gym this winter, didn't exactly go to plan. Thursday night in the Armory, the Lights dropped the first salvo in their annual rivalry with the University of Providence, as the No. 22 Argos beat the No. 13 Lights 21-13. "I'm glad we got matches in," Northern head coach Tyson Thivierge said after...
COVID-19 certainly keeps messing with the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team. It was almost two months ago that the Lights were supposed to open Frontier Conference play at Rocky Mountain College, only to have the pandemic get in the way. Then, earlier this week, it happened again, as the Lights' home game with the Providence Argos was canceled because of COVID in the UP program. But with all of the road blocks, Northern continues to forge ahead, and...

And afte...
The Havre High swim teams have yet to take to the road. But the Blue Ponies will finally do that this weekend. Before the start of the 2021 season, Havre's schedule was still being put together because of COVID-19 protocols. But one thing that had been missing from the schedule early on was a true road meet. Havre hosted back-to-back meets in the Havre Community Pool to start the season, then last Friday the Ponies participated in the first virtual meet of the year. Havre...
The end of her high school career wasn't easy. That's when COVID-19 first took hold in Montana, including in Harlem. And yet, nothing, including a global pandemic, can take away the kind of high school highlights that L'Tia Lawrence had. And for her incredible run as a three-sport athlete in Harlem, which then carried over to playing two different sports at Montana State University-Northern, Lawrence has been named the Havre Daily News Female Athlete of the Year for 2020....

You know, Lord, some names that new babes are given make one wonder, how on earth did the parents come up with that name. Did they ever even think to check the meaning of the name? It's been said that even if unknown, the babe/child will grow into and live up to their name. Our daddy sure lived up to his name; he was "STRONG AS AN EAGLE" and "BRAVE." Mom was the "GRACEFUL ONE." The source of a neighbor's name is Hebrew and means "CHRIST LOVE." It fit him. Another neighbor's...
It is the prayer we know so well that we can recite it without even thinking about it. If we are churchgoers, it is the prayer we say, at the very least, every Sunday, if not every day. It is probably one of the first prayers we ever learned as children; and it will be, even for those of us who walk into the long twilight of dementia, something we remember, long after we have forgotten the names of our own children. As theologian John Dominic Crossan says, "The Lord's Prayer...
Out our way, working cattle is different nowadays than it was in yesteryear. Granted, here and there we still have areas of open range, but by and large, cowboying is done in a fenced pasture. Pushing the herd along is not done all the time and when we do, it is because we are moving them to new grazing grounds - the "green pastures and still waters" (Psalm 23) that give life, health and wholeness. But the barbed wire fence of the modern range limits us in some respects, as...
