Volunteers from branches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints arrived in Havre Saturday with chainsaws, pickups, flatbed trailers and hand saws to help property owners clean up from the record-setting Oct. 2-3 snowstorm. Steven Whitney of Great Falls, who is president of the Great Falls Montana East Stake, which includes the Havre congregation, said he was "very surprised" by the amount of downed tree limbs he saw when he came into town. "This community got hit...
Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., will be in Havre Wednesday at noon for a fundraiser and lunch in the Vineyard Room of the Duck Inn. Hill County Republican Central Committee Chair Andrew Brekke said attendees will need to pay for lunch if they choose to eat, but that the event is otherwise free and open to the public. Donations to Gianforte's re-election campaign may be made at will. Brekke said Gianforte will talk about issues and legislation he has been working on during his fi...
Staff and wire report Members of the Montana State University-Northern Collegiate Stockgrowers were honored by the state during Saturday's football game for their work during two major fires in Montana. Northern Chancellor Greg Kegel met with Stockgrowers members Cordell Murray, a sophomore, and Wade Schneider, a freshman during halftime of the Lights football game against the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears to recognize them for the honor, with Murray and Schneider...

The meeting starts with registration at 8:30 a.m. in the Student Union Building Ballroom at Montana State University-Northern. The event will include gifts for members that are made in Montana, and the grand prize winner will receive an iPad mini 4 and iPhone SE....
Three decades ago, the U.S. Supreme Court probably settled the current controversy involving protests within the National Football League about freedom of speech. The recent public shakeup with some players “taking a knee” or “linking arms” may be somewhat different than protest directly involving the American flag but many judicial experts would bet that “taking a knee” is protected speech under the First Amendment and is now settled law. Like it or not, the U. S. Constitution protects the right of Americans to protest the...
Dr. Marc Whitacre, who is facing Havre High School teacher Lindsey Ratliff in the race for Ward 3 in the Havre City Council election, is working to bring attention to the high suicide rate in the state and this region, and the Havre Daily News applauds him for his efforts. Montana is often in the running for the state with the highest suicide rate per capita in the nation, and is sometimes the top state for suicide rates. It is a tragic, disturbing issue which needs examination, and the Havre Daily is ready to work alongside...
Last Monday, the Havre Daily News published an article reporting a driver killed by a collision with a deer. As unfortunate as this death was, the article was a grim reminder of what is not published — the unreported causes of death in the Havre community. The Havre Daily News does not appear to hesitate to report deaths related to traffic accidents, but in my daily reading and in a search of the online archives there is very little mention of the other top causes of death in our younger population. Inspection of the r...

Sam Sparks played high school football at one of the biggest schools in Montana - Senior High in Billings. So, until last fall, he had never stepped foot on the turf at Blue Pony Stadium, nor had he really had any reason to have anything against the Montana State University-Northern Lights. But over the last four meetings between the Lights and Battlin' Bears, it sure seems like Sparks loves to play against the Lights. On Saturday, Sparks, who isn't even RMC's starting...
Early in the first half of Saturday’s clash between the Montana State University-Northern Lights and Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears, Northern senior kicker Tommy Langley watched as an RMC punt went nowhere in the 35 mph west wind that was blowing through Blue Pony Stadium. Langley looked at me and smiled: “It’s nasty out there,”. Indeed, for guys like Langley, wind is one of his biggest enemies, and Saturday’s wind, a classic, cold fall wind whipping through Hav...
It seems cliche to say that sports aren’t just about winning and losing. But it’s true, especially at the high school level. Wins and losses do matter, it would be a lie to say they don’t. But it’s also true that you don’t necessarily have to win, to be admirable. The Havre Blue Ponies have not won a game this season and with Miles City looming Friday for the season finale, it’s unlikely they will, barring a major upset. That’s what made the 22-14 loss Friday night to Livi...
Before Saturday’s highly-anticipated rematch with the Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears, Montana State University-Northern head coach Aaron Christensen predicted the Bears would run right at the Lights’ defense. As it turned out, Christensen was spot on, and the Lights’ defense seemed helpless to stop it. The Bears rushed for 372 yards on 60 carries inside windy Blue Pony Stadium, in what turned into a 52-3 Rocky route Saturday afternoon. “We knew they were gonna do...
Both Havre High cross country teams will be running at the Class A state meet this weekend in Helena and judging by how the two teams performed at the Central A Fall Classic last Saturday in Livingston, they are more than ready. The Blue Pony girls, led by Kadia Miller, who won the individual title at the meet, finished second with 48 points. Lewistown took first with 36, followed by Belgrade in third with 68 and Livingston in fourth with 72. The Pony boys also had a solid...
Many expected a hard-fought game between the Havre High Blue Ponies, and Livingston Rangers, and last Friday night at Blue Pony Stadium, that’s exactly what we got. The Eastern A rivals, who were each 0-7 heading into the home finale for HHS, battled for 48 minutes and even one untimed down, before Livingston narrowly escaped with a 22-14 win. “It’s tough,” HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. “We got down 14-0 early, but our kids kept fighting, they kept battling. We came back...
On a fun Sunday afternoon inside the Armory Gymnasium, veteran Montana State University-Northern head wrestling coach Tyson Thivierge noticed something about the Alumni Team his Lights were facing. “Maybe I’m just getting old now, but I realized, I’ve coached all of these guys except for Bobby (Mantle),” Thivierge said. “So it’s interesting, I’ve been here long enough that a lot of the guys coming back for this are guys from the teams since I’ve been here. And it’s so much fu...
MISSOULA (AP) - The battle of green quarterbacks went to freshman Gresch Jensen Saturday, after he threw for a career-best 423 yards to lead Montana past banged-up North Dakota 41-17 in Big Sky Conference football. Making his fourth start, Jensen threw for three touchdowns and ran for another score as the Grizzlies moved to 5-2, including a 3-1 mark in the Big Sky. His first start came on Sept. 23, a 48-41 loss to Eastern Washington. "Definitely (feel) a lot better after the...
