The season of giving is coming up quickly, and the Fresno Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited is already in the spirit. At Monday night's Havre City Council meeting, the council approved a gift of $2,500 from Walleyes to the Havre Fire Department to buy some new ice rescue equipment. "With tight budgets the way they are, it's difficult to purchase or even think about purchasing equipment that's not used day-to-day, " Fire Chief Dave Sheppard said. "Without that donation we wouldn't be making the purchase. " The money will be spent...
As I walked into city hall for a Monday night council meeting, Richard, our public works director, said to me, "Did you know you are tied with Reece for first place in the football pool this week? Who wins depends on the final score of the Green Bay game tonight." This news excited me. Week after week, I had come close, tied for second place with two or three other people. Tied for second is meaningless. As Vince Lombardi said, "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing."...

Character is a big part of being a college football player. It's integral to a team's success. On Saturday afternoon, the MSU-Northern Lights showed just how much character they have. Northern suffered a major setback in last weekend's loss to UM-Western on the road. In fact, the Lights had been on the road for so long, they probably forgot what Blue Pony Stadium looked like. And a loss, like the one at Western, which followed a tough loss three weeks ago at Carroll College co...

It is hard to believe it has come and gone so quickly, but the Havre High boys and girls cross country seasons are now over. But fortunately for the Central A Ponies, the season wasn't over without a great performance at the state meet in Missoula over the weekend. And while at the state meet, the HHS girls brought home a state trophy with a No. 3 finish, while the HHS boys grabbed a No. 11 finish in a very tough field of competitors. "It was that moment where you hope the kids will peak and it's what we trained for all seaso...

Northern defensive back Chris Hamilton runs with the ball after intercepting a Montana Tech pass in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game in Havre. It was windy, it was cool, and the visiting team was on a six-game losing streak with its back against the wall.

MISSOULA (AP) — Police say officers used stun guns to subdue two University of Montana football players Sunday morning after the team returned to Missoula following a game Saturday at Northern Arizona.

Both players b...
BILLINGS — A federal judge has ordered settlement talks in a multi-million-dollar dispute over bone castings from three famed tyrannosaurus rex specimens. Attorneys say the case is the first of its kind involving a copyright fight over dinosaur castings — fossil replicas often used in museum displays. It pits a South Dakota research company against a Montana nonprofit that allegedly made unauthorized copies of castings from two t-rexes, dubbed Stan and Sue.

HELENA — A statue of Jesus on U.S. Forest Service land in the mountains over a Montana ski resort faces potential eviction amid an argument over the separation of church and state. The Forest Service offered a glimmer of hope late last week for the statue's supporters by withdrawing an initial decision to boot the Jesus statue from its hillside perch in the trees. But as it further analyzes the situation before making a final decision, the agency warned rules and court decisions are stacked against allowing a religious i...
ANKARA, Turkey — Cries of panic and horror filled the air as a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Turkey, killing at least 138 people as buildings pancaked and crumpled into rubble. The death toll was expecte to rise as rescuers sifted through the rubble and reached outlying villages. Tens of thousands fled into the streets running, screaming or trying to reach relatives on cell phones as apartment and office buildings cracked or collapsed. As the full extent of the damage became clear, survivors dug in with shovels o...

Sometimes, revenge can be a painful thing. That was the case for the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. The Skylights were on the receiving end of a revenge match as they lost to the UGF Argos in three games Friday night at the McLaughlin Center in Great Falls. UGF won by scores of 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20, avenging Northern's five-set win last month in Havre. "I thought we served and passed well enough to stay in the match, but we didn't hit the ball well at...
With just one conference match this weekend, it was a relatively easy and light load for the Havre High volleyball team. Saturday the Central A Blue Ponies were at home and defeated the visiting Browning Indians at the Havre High gymnasium. The Ponies earned the win in three relatively easy games by scores of 25-15, 25-6 and 25-17. The Ponies faced the Indians last weekend in Browning and saw a very tough, scrappy and energetic Indians team. But this weekend things were different as the Ponies rolled to a win in three games...
If you are enjoying your life as normal today, don't look up — maybe skip going outside altogether and just hole up in a basement — because Chicken Little was right about the sky. OK, technically the sky itself isn't falling, but I'm sure you'll find no comfort in knowing that it's a dead NASA satellite the size of a school bus that's tumbling down from space. Being dead and all, the satellite is sinking from orbit into Earth's atmosphere where it is expected to break int...
Here are some highlights and lowlights of recent events on the Hi-Line: Laurel — Hundreds of people around town volunteered for various tasks during Havre Festival Days weekend.

Hats off to those who helped make this day a success. Laurel — And if you are in the mood for another celebration of small-town life, take a t...
Editor: I had hoped that our friends in the local Republican Party were not going to resort to the tactics used by the national Republican party, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Instead of promoting the qualities of their candidate, they chose to use their own interpretation of campaign laws to accuse Bob Kaul of violations — even though when Mr. Kaul and the chairman of the Hill County Democrats each contacted the Political Practices Commissioner's office, and each were told that there was no violation. All of this s...

WASHINGTON — Rick Perry and Mitt Romney struggled with a simple reality in the latest GOP debate: Americans elect only experienced politicians as president, and Republicans nominate only proven conservatives. With many Republican voters pushing for ever-purer conservatism, the two requirements sometimes stand in conflict. The candidate who best figures out how to appeal to that audience without abandoning his own record is likely to win the nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012. AP Photo/Phelan M.

HELENA — The federal government is giving states like Montana another chance to run at least parts of the insurance exchanges that are part of the federal health care law. Montana Insurance Commissioner Monica Lindeen said developing federal rules opens the way for more state involvement in the health insurance exchanges, even in places like Montana where the legislature rejected an option to have the state run the exchanges with federal grants. Republicans in the Montana Legislature, working to undermine the federal law gene...
