The Montana Legislative session has been less contentious than the last two sessions, State Sen. Kris Hansen said Sunday night. But Gov.

Hansen, R-Havre, spoke to the audience at the Hill and Blaine County Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner. She and Rep. G. Bruce Meyers addressed the party faithful after they heard from Sen....

In coming weeks, Havre city officials will be looking at the possibility of a major infrastructure renovation project. It calls for improvements for streets and perhaps sidewalks and stormwater systems. Over the next 20 years, city officials said, they could spend as much as $100 million to improve all the streets and sidewalks that now need or will need repairs. Anyone who drives on Havre streets or walks on sidewalks realizes that there is a need for some major fixes. It’s not quite as obvious, but there is also need for r...

Back on Jan. 17, the Havre Blue Ponies were thoroughly outplayed by the Rocky Boy Stars. And while they were given a win retroactively due to forfeit, the Ponies still wanted to prove they could beat the Stars on the court, which they did in dramatic fashion on Saturday. In a game that Rocky Boy led most of the way, Havre executed in the key moments when it had to the most, including a 3-point dagger from Jerod Boles to give the Ponies an exhilarating 71-69 victory inside the...

And the Havre High swim teams took advantage of both opportunities this past weekend. At the 2015 MHSA State Swim Meet, held at the University of Montana’s Grizzly Pool in Missoula Friday and Saturday, the Blue Ponies had some outstanding performances. Included in that was the HHS girls scoring 34 points to finish sec...
BILLINGS — There is a saying about the Masters golf tournament that it’s a tradition unlike any other. Well, when it comes to high school sports in Montana, the All-Class State wrestling tournament is an event unlike any other. I have to admit that before this weekend, I had never been to the state wrestling tournament at the Rimrock Auto Arena at the Metra Park in Billings, never as a fan and never as a reporter. So, as I watched the spectacle that was state wrestling ove...
BILLINGS - The Chinook Sugarbeeters went to the All-Class state wrestling meet in Billings to regain the Class C state championship.
