Editor: Regarding the March 22 story in the Havre Daily News quoting former councilman Bob Kaul on the subject of using hands-on cellphones while operating a motor vehicle in Havre: Let me say, I couldn’t agree more. I also am a former Havre city councilman (1996-2000), and I am concerned that when the City Council passes ordinances, sometimes it appears as if they go unheeded by city departments who are tasked to enforce them. In the case of drivers using using cellphones while driving, I am aware that there is an o...
If you are looking for good news on Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, look no further than the reservation’s health clinic. For years, the clinic was nothing more than an ATM for people who wanted to dip into the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s treasury. It seemed that one after another, clinic directors were indicted for various forms of embezzlement. The clinic is under-funded by the federal government, and what little money got down to the clinic was syphoned off by the bigshots. But recently there has been a 180-degree turn. The c...

In front-page stories in the March 21 and 29 editions of the Havre Daily News, it was misreported that the Montana Public Service Commission had said in an order that “since 2013, when NorthWestern Energy purchased 82 percent ownership of Havre Pipeline, the quality of service has diminished considerably.” The report in question actually said, “since NorthWestern became majority owner of Havre Pipeline, a significant decline in service has not occurred.” Eric Sell, spokesperson for the PSC said that the service had been de...

A lot of great things happened to the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team this season. In other words, it was another magical winter for the Skylights and their fans. And even though Northern's final game was a heartbreaking defeat to eventual Fab Four qualifier Benedictine College, there was still plenty of good news for Northern as the season came to a close. In particular, the good news that came late last week was the announcement that both Natalee...
No matter the scores, or the level of competition, it was a successful start to the 2016 Havre High tennis season. And it was mainly because, even though it's still March, the Blue Ponies played, and they played a lot. The Havre boys and girls got plenty of time on the courts on a rare, mild day in Cut Bank, as the Ponies took part in the Cut Bank Invitational last Saturday. "This early in the year, or really, all spring long, your first hope is just to get outside and get on...
