As the top seed in the District 9C boys tournament, the Box Elder Bears wanted to get the week started on the right foot. Mission accomplished. Thursday afternoon in Havre, Box Elder opened the 2023 9C tourney with a 94-58 win over Hays-Lodge Pole, advancing to tonight's semifinals in the process. "There's always things we can do better, we're always looking to improve,' longtime Box Elder head coach Jeremy MacDonald said. "But as far as this game goes, I am pretty happy with...
At their business meeting Thursday, the Hill County Commission heard another objection to a recent decision to restrict public comments at their weekly business meetings. Rickie Magnussen, a resident of Havre and former administrator of a now-closed nursing home, said he’s concerned with the recent decision to restrict public comments and the way the change was handled. Two weeks ago, Hill County Commission Chair Mark Peterson announced that from now on, the public and county officials will no longer be permitted to speak d...
Students are back at Havre Middle School after a bomb threat forced an evacuation Thursday, and the incident is still being investigated by Havre Police. A release from the school yesterday said students and staff were all safe and were bused to Fifth Avenue Christian Church to be reunited with their parents or guardians after the threat was found. Havre Chief of Police Gabe Matosich said this morning that no device was found and students are back in school today. The release said, a note found in a middle school bathroom at...
Inside what I consider to be the best hospitality room each year, a close friend of mine walked up to me and quietly said: "You're going to miss this." The "this" he was referring to, in the moment anyway, was covering the 9C tournament and he isn't wrong. In my humble opinion, there is nothing quite like the 9C tournament, a tournament I've covered for almost my entire time at the Havre Daily, save last year when COVID-19 put me out of commission at the worst possible time....

Dear editor, It has been my pleasure and joy to serve the people of Hill County as the Clack Museum and Wahkpa Chu’gn Buffalo Jump manager for the past nearly five years. From greeting visitors at the museum and buffalo jump, to giving school group tours of the buffalo jump with Kelly and Judy Jones and Bev Kologi, giving presentations in the Faber Schoolhouse (mostly in the heat during the Great Northern Fair!), writing some columns to introduce residents to the wonderful treasures in the Clack Museum’s collections and hel...
Editor, Apparently, somebody won something last week, because MEIC and other anti-coal groups are claiming a VICTORY! On Friday February 10, 2023, Donald W. Molloy, U.S. District Court Judge, Missoula, ordered that mining cease at Bull Mountains Underground Mine in the five sections of federal coal that have been leased since 2012, until a new environmental report can be written (20 months). This is not a new or future mining area. This “expansion” area has had all the state and federal approvals necessary to mine since 201...
My bar for evaluating news content is pretty old-school: Is it factual, truthful and unbiased? Sometimes, though, I desire more of this than is provided in article, not in the sense that “Oh, that has inspired me to know more on the topic,” but rather wanting to know “What in the heckfire aren’t they telling us, here?” WSAZ News Channel 3 out of Huntington, West Virginia, reported Tuesday that police in Anchorage, Alaska, responded to a call from a concerned citizen in the cit...
6 was the year of celebrating the 50th birthday of Montana’s Constitution — its visionary provisions and the unique bipartisan approach adopted by the citizen delegates who wrote it. Our perspective is from a combined total of over 30 years of legislative experience under both our current Constitution, as well as the one that preceded it. We see Montana’s Constitution as a truly glorious document. It has honorably served our citizens as well as our landscape for half a century, and we are dismayed that, out-o...
I went to Oconahua to Jane’s birthday celebration for cake and homemade ice-cream. Ninety-five full years. From the stories Jane has told and from stories her daughters told with great glee, that woman was a pistol. She’s still a pop gun. She lived fully and outrageously, a registered nurse, from NYC to Alaska to Washington to Mexico. In what order, I don’t know. There are chapters I’ve not heard. Jane is Michelle’s mother and has a casita on Ana and Michelle’s land a shor...

In probably the most exciting game of the District 9C Girls Basketball Tournament so far, the North Star Knights and Fort Benton Longhorns went back and forth at Havre High Gymnasium. With a spot in the 9C championship game on the line, neither team wanted to lose. Trailing 47-46 late in the game, Emerson Giese took the ball to the basket and scored to give Fort Benton a 48-47 lead with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game. But Laynie Sattoriva answered with a layup of...
As they have done all season long, the Chinook Sugarbeeters looked like the team to beat in the District 9C Girls Basketball Tournament Thursday night at Havre High Gymnasium. In their semifinal game against the Box Elder Bears, they pulled away to win, 68-27, to stay undefeated and advance to the championship game. "I thought we played great defense. It was a fun, energetic environment and our girls responded pretty well," Chinook head coach Mike Jones said. "We came out in...
The Turner Tornadoes were on the verge of the District 9C boys semifinals. The Fort Benton Longhorns, though, said not so fast. In the opening round of the 2023 9C boys tournament Thursday afternoon in the HHS gymnasium, Fort Benton ripped off 19 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to complete a 58-54 comeback win, and advance to today's semifinal. "We just didn't give up on each other," veteran Fort Benton head coach Tyler Pasha said, "We stopped playing 1-on-5 and...
The first step in defending their Distinct 9C championship had little resistance for the Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hawks. On Thursday afternoon, the Hawks took apart the North Star Knights, 69-32 in a 2023 9C boys first-round game inside the HHS gymnasium. The win pushed CJI (15-4) into tonight's semifinal game, and one win away from having a shot to repeat as 9C champions. "I thought we played really well defensively," CJI head coach Joe Horel said. "Offensively, once we got...
The Montana Tech Orediggers clinched the Frontier Conference' regular season title. But, when they come to Havre Saturday afternoon to close out the regular season, it's still going to be a huge game for the Montana State University-Northern Lights. The Lights (18-9, 7-7) face the No. 11 Orediggers (23-5, 11-3) on what will be senior day, Saturday at 4 p.m. in the Armory Gymnasium. The game closes out the regular season for both teams.

The first day of the 2023 District 9C Boys Basketball Tournament at Havre High Gymnasium wrapped up with a meeting between No. 2 seed Big Sandy and No. 7 seed Chinook. It was a tight game at first as the Sugarbeeters played well and even had a lead in the third quarter. The Pioneers did get going in the second half to win, 65-52, to avoid the upset, but Big Sandy head coach Rhett Simanton wished his team had played better to open the tournament. "They brought it to us tonight...
