It has been an emotional time to be a Chinook Sugarbeeter recently, and Wednesday the Chinook boys basketball team took center stage at the District 9C tournament. With the loss of Jesse Dannels still weighing on their minds, the Beeters started sluggishly in the 9C tournament, trailing North Star by 14 points at the half. Yet, with their season possibly on the line, the Beeters roared back and pulled of a dramatic, come-from-behind victory. It may be a coincidence, but on the...
The proposal to establish a city manager form of government has gained more support inside Havre City Hall. Newly elected city council members Caleb Hutchins and Ed Matter told the Havre Study Commission Tuesday night that they back the proposed city manager as the most effective way to run the city. And both were open to the idea of a hybrid method of electing city council members. The commission is looking at the idea of electing four council members by ward — one from each ward — and four at large. Under the present sys...

Where do I start? At the beginning, you say. That was almost three years ago so let me start with last week and back track to the beginning, what say? Last week in Etzatlan I bought a casita. A beautiful brick Spanish style casita with arched windows and doors, tiled roof, and plenty of wrought iron. Sounds like an impulsive buy, doesn’t it? Like I said, the process began three years ago when I first went to Etzatlan to visit my new friend Lani. Etzatlan is a small village, about 20,000 people, sprawled in a wide and verdant...

It’s hard to believe that the end of the high school basketball regular season is almost here, but it is and on the final weekend of Central A conference play, both Havre High basketball teams have critical games. Both Blue Pony teams will face Browning teams tonight, with the Havre girls playing the Indians at home in the Havre Central gymnasium at 7. The Pony boys, on the other hand, will make the trip to Browning, where they have had difficulty winning. Tip-off for that piv...
The Chester/J-I Hawks have been one of the best teams in the District 9C all year and in the opening round of the 9C boys tournament, they played like it. The Turner Tornadoes were big underdogs coming into Wednesday’s quarterfinal game inside the HHS gymnasium in Havre. And despite a valiant effort from the Tornadoes, C/J-I was simply too good and too talented for Turner to hang with, and when the final buzzer sounded, the Hawks won 90-41. “We came out and played wel...
The Chinook Sugarbeeters and North Star Knights played two tight regular season games in the District 9C this season, with both teams winning on their own home floor. And the two squads waged another classic battle at a neutral site, in the opening round of the 2016 District 9C boys tournament Wednesday at the HHS gymnasium. In the end, a Willie Gilead 3-pointer just missed as time expired, and Chinook capped an incredible second-half comeback with a 47-44 win — a win that p...
Over the last month of the District 9C boys basketball season, the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds have been playing as well as anyone. And Wednesday night, in the opening round of the 9C tournament against Fort Benton, the Thunderbirds rolled.

The T-Birds will advance to the semifinals where they will take on Chester/J-I. That game will...
