The old Havre Air Force Station had its doors closed in 1979, but they may be opened again for another use in upcoming years. Keith Connolly, of Connolly and Connolly Investments, purchased the property in June 2014 because he and his father, the other member of the investment company, were interested in seeing what they could do with the old station. "We dabble in real estate," Connolly said of he and his father, co-owners of the investment company. "We've been doing this...

Emily Mayer In the 13th installment of this series celebrating the Year of the Buildings, there were a couple of articles regarding buildings in Hill County. A rather lengthy article was written about the agricultural school at Fort Assinniboine. Professor F. B. Linfield, director of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station in Bozeman, was in town to look over the site and find “the most suitable selection of the 2,000 acres granted to the state some time ago for educational purposes.” Linfield said in an interview: It...
Laurel — Havre Police did a great job in capturing an escapee last week. Eric Bruce Fowler escaped from a Warm Springs drug and alcohol center for addicted inmates. He ended up in Havre. When local police tried to apprehend him, he took off in a car driven by a friend. A wild chase ensued that ended up outside of Chinook. Several other police agencies joined in the effort. We’re not the biggest fan of high-speed chases for fear they endanger police officers and bystanders more often than the criminals. But in this case, off...
Despite my long, sordid history of being unable to snap out of my obsessive obsession with, well, random obsessive things, I had fully planned on writing this week about something besides my house project. It would’ve happened, too, if I hadn’t suddenly realized that I am doomed. Duh-ooomed, I tell you. I could have written about any number of disasters, weird news items or politics, or the trifecta of disastrously weird politics, or even weirdly disastrous politics, whi...

Amber Wells, who led the photographers, some equipped with cameras and some with smartphones, said the...
Montana Buckle Up Coalition Recommendations have changed for keeping children rear-facing in child car seats, from age 1 until at least age 2, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Starting in 2011, the Academy advises parents to keep their toddlers rear facing until age 2 or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their car seat. While that is several years ago, many parents seem unaware of this important change in recommendations. It also advises that children need to ride in a belt-positioning...

By Francine Brady “The Long Walk” by Slavomir Rawicz is a true story of a trek to freedom.

The cell was not cleaned so he stood in human waste until his knees would buckle. After six months he was led outside and hosed off with cold water and allowed to rinse his cloths and then let them dry on his body. Ill fed, he was often tortured so that he would si...

When (the disciples and Jesus) were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethpage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back immediately.’ They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it some of t...
This weekend is the final weekend of March and that means spring sports are fully underway. The tennis and softball teams have already gotten started and now it’s time for the Havre High track teams to get in on the act as they open their seasons this Saturday in Lewistown. One thing about both the boys and girls track teams is that they are young and filled with freshmen who have yet to take part in a high school meet. But, they will do just that this weekend against a f...

Around a decade ago, the Havre High softball team was in its infancy. But last season, the program made big strides by winning a game and playing well at the Class A state tournament in Polson. And never before has a Havre softball team come into a season with the expectations this team will face and a big reason for those expectations is the fact that all nine starters from last year returned to the team. Just not all of them are healthy. Much to the chagrin of head coach...
