BILLINGS (AP) - A Billings police officer shot and killed a man being sought in a recent robbery after authorities say the suspect made a sudden movement while in the back of a car that had been pulled over, authorities said Tuesday. Billings Police Chief Rich St. John identified the deceased as Richard David Ramirez, 38, of Billings. No weapon was found on Ramirez, who was shot three times just a few blocks from his home. St. John said the officer was placed on...
After a hearing in federal court in Great Falls Monday in the case alleging embezzlement by former Rocky Boy clinic director Fawn Tadios, U.S. District Judge Brian Morris said an order on the motions would be forthcoming. He set Tadios’ trial date for May 1. Tadios is accused of embezzling federal money while working as the CEO of the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s Health Board, including using money appropriated for the clinic at Rocky Boy to visit her husband in federal prison camp while he was serving a sentence for embezzling fro...
It typically isn’t a good thing when winter weather interrupts the spring sports season, but this time around, things worked out alright for the Havre High track and field teams. The annual Lions Havre Invite was scheduled for Saturday, but winter storm warnings caused a delay in the action. Instead, the invite was pushed to Monday afternoon, and the weather couldn’t have been better at the Havre Middle School Track. The numbers did take a small hit as the postponement kep...
Three people were killed in Overland Park on Sunday when a self-proclaimed white supremacist opened fire at a Jewish Community Center and a Jewish retirement complex. As it turned out, former Ku Klux Klan leader, got everything wrong and ended up killing three Christians. The assault was an attack on all of us and all that we hope America stands for. It is another reminder that hate has no place in our society. Bigotry of any sort can grow into something as hateful and as awful as the tragedy in Kansas Sunday. As much as we...

Every year, about 40 abused people in Havre and the Hi-line flee their home because they are victims of domestic abuse. In Havre, there is a safe haven where people can go to to have a roof over their head, food to eat and some of the comforts of home until they can find satisfactory arrangements. But Sarah Lison of Havre said one thing is missing at the safe haven — a place for pets. “Unfortunately, our shelter is not pet friendly,” said Amber Thompson, who heads the domestic abuse program operated by District 4 Human Resou...
The Havre Book Exchange is closing its doors after nine years of supplying Havreites and Hi-Liners with a dying commodity. David Shaw, the owner of the bookstore, said the shop is not completely closed down yet, but the doors have been closed until he can sell it, find someone to run it or close it down completely and lease the space. "You can't sell many books these days," Shaw said. Bonnie Williamson, former Havre-Hill County Library director, said it saddened her to see the...
The H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board heard Monday that it may be out of cash, and unless it finds some other revenue, it may need to cut its expenses by more than a quarter in the next budget year. Board member Val Hickman, who is on the budget committee, said the annual budget has been relying on cash that had built up over the years, and that reserve is used up. The board agreed to meet with the H. Earl and Margaret Turner Clack Memorial Museum Foundation Board next Monday at 6:30 p.m., before its monthly meeting, to...
Kailey Kleinjan, Chinook Track Track and field is a sport that takes time to get to the top of. But Chinook’s Kailey Kleinjan isn’t waiting around. Kleinjan made a splash at last Wednesday’s Cal Wearly Invitational by sweeping the 100 and 200-meter races. She won the 100 with a time of 13.1 and the 200 in 28.2. Kleinjan then returned to the Havre Middle School Track Monday to win the 200 in the Havre Lions Invite in 28.10, while also placing second in the 100. Cooper Spich...
The Big Sky Winter State Games had a Havre feel to them, especially in the hockey rink. A Havre Ice Hawks’ high school hockey team traveled to Billings last weekend for the annual State Games, and the squad came home with the gold medal in the 3-on-3 tournament, as well as a chance to move on to a national competition. The Havre team was composed of Alex Hanson, Justin Miller, Dustin Armstrong, Kyle Konesky, Brandon Huntington, Kelby McLain and goalie Josh Emge. The team o...
Several area track and field programs made the trip to Havre Monday, and like always, some of the Hi-Line’s best put up some pretty solid numbers. The annual Lions Havre Invite track meet was postponed from Saturday to Monday. And a good amount of the top finishes came from five Hi-Line squads, as there were no signs of harsh winter weather on a sunny afternoon at the Havre Middle School track in Havre. In girls action, the North Star Knights took third with 110, followed b...
