The Havre High girls basketball team normally doesn't put too much stock into non-conference games. The focus of the Blue Ponies is winning the Central A and all their games in conference play. Yet, when the non-conference opponent that lies ahead is the four-time defending Class B state champions in the midst of an incredible 119-game winning streak, it's hard not to take notice. That's why tonight's game on the road against Fairfield will have a bit of a different feel for...
A bill that has funded language programs in Montana is going through Legislature again this year. The Montana Indian Language Pilot Program seeks to use state funds to help preserve some of the original languages of the tribes in the state and has gathered much support from the reservations. Terry Brockie, the superintendent of Blaine County schools, said around eight to 10 students from Fort Belknap and Harlem visited Helena to lobby in favor of passing a bill that would continue to fund this program. “Basically what that b...
Editor: Sunday morning when it was so very cold, I noticed the tire pressure light had come on in my car. Living close to the Emporium, I went there for help. A kind and polite employee checked my tire pressure and filled the one that was low with air from the compressor which he had to lug out from the store. When I thanked him, he said it was his job to help his customers with whatever they needed. Hats off to the young man who didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand. I've always known that "Havre Has It," but this was...
Editor: February is National Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Month, and it is critical that we take this time to remember that domestic violence is not just a problem for adults. One in three adolescents in the U.S. will be a victim of physical, emotional or sexual abuse from a dating partner. Nearly 80 percent of girls who have been physically abused in their intimate relationships continue to date their abuser. And two-thirds of teens who are in an abusive relationship never tell anyone about the abuse....
Dart — The Montana House’s State Administration Committee tabled a bill that would have allowed people to register to vote online. That would have made it easier for people, especially those in rural areas and those who are disabled, to register. It’s too bad making it easier to vote has become such a partisan issue. Republicans would be way better off if they spent their time, money and energy trying to convince the electorate to vote for them instead of trying to make it harder for them to vote. Laurel — Montana State U...
Because we have now reached a critical point in the aging process of our white trash mansion, my husband and I are now considering the possibility of looking into maybe sometime soon upgrading, or “swapping out,” our living accommodations. I know that doesn’t sound like much of a commitment, but we do have some time before our current home starts to actually decompose. Months and months, at least — or possibly May when the temperature rises. Even then, it will just be the beg...

Rebecca Bishop-Goss Bill Yellowrobe Jr. traveled from his home in Arlee to Fort Belknap Indian Reservation to provide insightful direction in "How to adapt your novels to screenplays," at Aaniiih Nakoda College.

Editor’s note: The computer program provided by the Montana state government to print media reports on court actions does not always list all fines assessed. The following cases were resolved in Hill County Justice Court by Judge Audrey Barger in October. Kali Jo Henry, born in 1995, was fined $200 and sentenced to 180 days in jail, 178 days suspended, for driving without a valid driver’s license. In a later case, Henry was fined $100 and given a deferred imposition of sentence for obstructing a peace officer or other pub...
John Bruington “Bear one another’s burdens and thus you will fulfill the law of Christ” — Galatians 6:2 Out our way, most folks were settled in with chips and dip, pizza, snack trays and various forms of liquid refreshment. Not quite as big as Christmas, some merchants really rake it in for America’s biggest secular celebration — the Super Bowl! This year I was especially interested, not because I am a Pats or Hawks fan, but I actually had money on the game. My letter carrier and I got talking about the game — and is she glad...

Christensen announced 22 signees Wednesday, and while he was excited about the group, he admitted that recruiting had been a challenge...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights were in need of some positivity. In the last two weeks, Northern lost a double-overtime heartbreaker to Westminster College, and a rivalry road game at the University of Great Falls. But, in a place that has rarely been a positive experience for MSU-N, the No. 10 Skylights turned things around in a big, big way. Thursday night in Lewiston, Idaho, Northern knocked off the No. 22 Lewis-Clark State Warriors 66-46, snapping a brief...

The Ponies, who are the top-ranked team in Class A, as well as the two-time defending state champions, will begin their quest for a third straight state...
