Others pushed strollers and still others barely old enough to be out of those strollers held the hand of a nearby adult as they walked.

In 75 years of life, there are some things that have changed, but at the same time remained the same for Vermae Taylor. For Taylor, a Sioux from Fort Peck, powwows have been one of these constants and those changes. As she sat with her 4-year-old great-granddaughter Scarlett Brien eating strawberries in the bleachers of the Armory Gymnasium at Montana State University Northern late Saturday morning, she reminisced out loud about the powwows of her youth. In many ways, those...

Contractors in Havre have been installing new roofs on homes damaged by last summer’s hailstorm Mayor Tim Solomon wants to remind them that when they haul the old shingles to the landfill, they have to have covers over the back of their trucks. The discussion started when City Councilwoman Terry Lilletvedt said at the last City Council meeting that Terry Turner, executive director of the Hill County Mosquito District, wanted to praise city workers and volunteers who on Havre Pride clean-up day had done such a good job picking...

Women attired in 1910 dresses with wide-brimmed, beautifully decorated hats walked in the door of the ballroom at Best Western Plus Havre Inn and Suites Saturday afternoon. They were escorted to their seats at the tables by men in suits. There the women saw finely decorated tables with place settings that included 1910-era china. They were served tea and finger food by elegantly dressed women who had prepared the tables. It was almost like a scene from the PBS hit series "Down...

"Amazing. Isn't it? How we're led to the place we really should be?" Recently I was privileged to share with two of my Havre High School Class of 1970 classmates, and this is the quote that I was left with as we concluded our conversations. The idea for this article came to me as I was driving the care center bus back to Havre. I'd just met up with a classmate that I hadn't seen in years, Maureen "Morb" Callahan Wicks. We had taken residents to the Senior Center in Chester...

And, they were on courts in unfamiliar territory. But, even with the Ponies attending the Elks Invite in Glendive for the first time in more than 20 years, Havre’s return to Glendive Friday and Saturday was certainly a triumphant one as the Pony boys and girls combined for six wins and two ties in duals. And, i...
The Havre High softball team didn’t start its big weekend the way it wanted to, but the way it ended couldn’t have been better for the Blue Ponies. Havre, which had three Central A contests on tap over the weekend, opened the three-game stretch Friday in Lewistown, where the Ponies were knocked off by the Eagles 8-0.
