Last year, because of the harsh, long winter, the Great Northern Area of the Montana Special Olympics had to cancel the Great Northern Spring Games, but this year the Special Olympics are back with approximately 60 athletes signed up to compete Wednesday. "A lot of athletes in our area don't have the financial means or the ability or have someone that can take them to the state games in Great Falls," Special Olympics Local Program Coordinator Brandon Berreth said, "so what we...
The Montana Association of Chiefs of Police has opened applications for its Montana Junior Leadership Academy this year, with next Friday the deadline to apply. “It’s a really good learning experience for the kids,” Havre Police Chief Gabe Matosich said.

The academy is open for high school students of all ages and allows participants to spend a week at the Montana Law Enforcement Academy in Helena. While the students are there, they w...
All three members of Montana's congressional delegation have stepped into the ring on the issue of livestock haulers being required to use electronic logging devices in their trucks. Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., and Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Jon Tester, D-Mont., all have opposed a U.S. Department of Transportation rule that drivers hauling animals follow the same time constraints monitored by electronic logging devices used for all commercial truckers that went into...

From Fish, Wildlife and Parks Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks’ Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program is sponsoring a Nature Journaling class Saturday, July 6, at Montana WILD in Helena.

By Leia Larsen Montana Free Press HELENA — After a turbulent ride through the Montana Legislature, a bill extending Montana’s Medicaid expansion program cleared its final legislative hurdle Thursday. House Bill 658, carried by Rep. Ed Buttrey, R-Great Falls, revises the state’s Medicaid program considerably. While the bill’s short title describes the legislation as generally revising health care laws and “permanently” expanding Medicaid, amendments added by the Senate add a sunset date of June 30, 2025. That means lawma...

In terms of results, the first month of the track season couldn't have gone much better for the Havre High girls track team as the Blue Ponies have finished first or second as a team in each of their four track meets. However, much of that success has come against teams from Class B and Class C. Havre hasn't had a chance to compete against many Class A teams yet this season, which makes today's Gallatin Valley Invitational even more exciting for HHS. Events got underway this...
The Havre High softball team hit the road Thursday night to take on the Lewistown Eagles in the Blue Ponies' first Central A conference game of the season and, unfortunately for HHS, things didn't go quite as planned. Despite another spectacular effort at the plate from Kinzee Peterson, Peyton Brown and the rest of the offense, which managed to score 10 runs, Havre still fell to Lewistown by the score of 20-10. The loss dropped the Ponies record to 2-5 overall and their mark i...
Earlier this week a friend of mine was puzzling over why English speakers use the word “disgruntled” all the time, but we never drop the “dis” prefix and say “gruntled.” A “disgruntled” customer can file a complaint, but why don’t we ever hear of “gruntled” people being satisfied with, well, anything? “Gruntled” is actually an official word. I think we don’t use “gruntled” because it doesn’t sound like what it means: pleased, contented, satisfied. Words like “dreary” an...
Editor, Pretending that opposition to continuing Montana’s “Medicaid expansion” had anything to do with the federal budget deficit is a joke that is almost as funny as the proposal by state Sen. Sales earlier this Montana legislative session to “contribute” additional millions of Montana taxpayers’ dollars to building a higher wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Seriously? The current national debt is more than $21 trillion and the current fiscal year 2020 federal deficit is $1.103 trillion — per “thebalance.c...
The Easter Story is one that most of us are very familiar with — we’ve been hearing it retold for years and years. Jesus predicting his own death three times. Jesus, knowing that one of them will betray him that very night, gathers with his disciples, his friends, for a last supper together. Using the common bread and cup, Jesus instructs his disciples to remember him and gives them the sign of the new covenant sealed in His blood. Jesus is then betrayed by us, arrested, publicly humiliated by humanity, and died; he was bur...
Out our way, “the proof is in the pudding” is a common phrase. As I shared some time ago, there are folks who dress like cow hands but are not. But out on the round up, especially when you have some pretty rangey cattle to collect — there is no mistaking the real deal. Now, I am an amateur cowhand. I can generally stay on board Doc at the gallop — unless he manages to trip over his own four feet as he has done now and then — but I have gotten to work with the real deal and there is no mistaking them for who and what they...
You know, Lord, reading 1 Corinthians 15:13, 14, 20 TLB might just help us to understand that You, Lord, are the Lamb of God as it says: “For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ must still be dead. And if He is still dead, then all our preaching is useless and your trust in God is empty, worthless, hopeless. … The fact is that Christ did actually rise from the dead … .” Long years ago, date is unknown, Billy Graham wrote an interesting thought about a faithful witness. Here is his quote: “One faithful...
The presence of the U.S. Border Patrol in north-central Montana has changed since the Spokane District established a sub-office in Havre July 31, 1924, and since it became the Havre Sector Headquarters in 1933, but its role is the same - protecting the U.S. border. The presence of the U.S. Border Patrol has increased significantly in north-central Montana in the last 20 years. The Department of Homeland Security was created in 2002, integrating part or all of 22 different...
