As the staff at the Havre Daily News have been interviewing candidates for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, it is becoming more clear that the decisions that affect the everyday lives of Montanas are more often made in Helena, not Washington. Despite condemnations of federal overreach, many important decisions are made on the state level. That’s why the elections for Hill County representatives and senators are so vital.

GREAT FALLS — The Box Elder Bears have beat a lot of teams with a running clock in the second half this season. But it was at least a little bit of a surprise that they would have the clock running full time on the opening day of the Northern C boys divisional basketball tournament, one of the state’s toughest postseason events. But a scorching first quarter led to the mercy rule taking effect in the third period as the Bears came out focused and determined from the ons... Full story
I perch on that edge, jump back and forth across the line, ignore it, bow to it. Some days I refuse to recognize possibility, let inertia carry me like a raft on the Pacific tides, beyond sight of land. Last night I could not sleep. Instead of counting sheep or getting out of bed for a glass of warm milk and a game of solitaire or even arguing with a Higher Power which I could not describe coherently if my life depended on it, and it does, I borrowed a long-time friend’s m...

There’s an unfortunate misconception among some in our state these days about trappers and trapping. And while I know there are those who dislike the very idea of an animal being harvested for any reason, it is vital that Montanans who are being asked to sign a petition to ban trapping know what they are signing — and know some facts about trapping. Today, trappers play a vital role in effective wildlife management. Banning trapping on public lands takes away that tool — one that wildlife managers will tell you they count on... Full story

Montana’s senior U.S. Senator said the gridlock in Washington seems to be lessening after a fight that shut the federal government down and nearly stopped an increase in the U.S. debt limit last fall. Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat, was the keynote speaker at the Bear Paw Development Corp. 45th annual meeting Friday, and said he would continue to fight in Washington to fund programs Bear Paw uses to tap into economic potential in north-central Montana. “But getting folks together to make common-sense decisions in Washington isn...

In a slew of candidates talking during Sunday’s Lincoln-Reagan Day Republican event in Havre, four U.S. House candidates put different spins on a common idea — many Montana problems come from a big government in Washington and the only way to stop them is to send Republicans to the U.S. House and Senate. “Thirty years ago, the greatest threat to the United States was the Soviet Union. Remember that? … ” former Montana Sen. Corey Stapleton of Billings asked the nearly 100 people in the Duck Inn Olympic Room. “Of course, the... Full story
