HELENA (AP) — A Blackfeet judge has issued an arrest warrant for a state senator and tribal leader for not paying his fine for a drunken and reckless driving conviction. Sen. Shannon Augare says the May 2 warrant issued by Judge Marshalene Last Star is politically motivated. Augare says in a Tuesday letter to Last Star he paid the $200 fine in December but was submitting another $400 to remove his name from the warrant list. Tribal attorney Dawn Running Wolf says Augare must appear in court for arraignment. She says there i...

The students stand still for 20 minutes at a time and then break character to...

HELENA (AP) — Gov. Steve Bullock's staff has been discussing Medicaid expansion options with some legislators and health-care and business representatives. The Democratic governor said Friday the discussions aren't driven by him but by lawmakers who heard from their community about the importance of the expansion. Lee Newspapers of Montana reports Republican Sen. Ed Buttrey of Great Falls is part of the group. He says the goal is to find a way to provide cheaper costs, better medical service and a healthier population. B...
In an era when untold amounts of tax dollars are spent on steering kids away from a life of crime — both before and after the criminal behavior has begun — through education programs and activities or young kids, teens and parents, Nebraska police recently dropped the ball during what Pamville editors believe could have been an educational experience for one of its youngest delinquents and his mother. Nebraska TV news website WOWT.com reported April 15 that a 3-year-old boy...
I and other local veterans are really disgusted with the reported action by the Department of Veterans Affairs in Arizona where, according to TV reports, the VA has had possibly up to some-40 veterans die awaiting medical treatment at the VA medical treatment place. If these reports are correct, this is no way to treat people who are giving so much for our country. In my opinion, I hope they didn't get a bonus for doing an "outstanding" job. I worked as a teacher for many years for the taxpayers and I did not ever get a...

For this, the eighteenth installment celebrating the 150th anniversary of Montana Territory, we refer to the May 9, 1914 issue of The Hill County Democrat. The big story on the front page was a little lengthy, but the writing style is so interesting and the subject quite scandalous, of course complete with misspellings: White Slaver Under Arrest Sells Morphine And Contributes Fifty Dollars Fine Placed In County Jail Charged With White Slavery For Placing Wife In House of...
Kremlin sits between the towns of Havre and Hingham and has had a fairly long and varied history. Kremlin was established after James J.

Space could be tight at a special event before the last Montana Actors’ Theatre production of the musical “Chicago.” Co-director Audrey Barger said the production has been well-received, and tickets have been selling out. “The play has been going fabulously, and it’s been a packed house,” she said Thursday. The Havre production of the award-winning Broadway mainstay started April 25, and a gala event is set to start at 6:30 p.m. before its final show Saturday.

A sixth defendant accused of conspiracy to embezzle funds at Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation has pleaded guilty. The government has dismissed charges against her husband — saying it will pursue other more serious charges against him — and the judge has denied motions to dismiss charges and documents against the last defendant, with his trial set for June 9. Tammy Leischner of Laurel pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Great Falls to aiding and abetting embezzlement from an Indian tribal government receiving feder...
Late season injuries can wreck a good track and field season. That is why the Havre High program isn’t taking any chances with divisionals and state just around the corner. Plenty of Central A Blue Pony track and field stars will get some much-needed rest this weekend. But those who are not resting will continue to face off against another tough field of competitors. Saturday the Ponies will host a triangular with the Central A Lewistown Golden Eagles and the Class B Malta M...

Havre has found recent success on the softball diamond due to some great bats. The Central A Blue Ponies were briefly cooled down Tuesday night in nonleague play in Great Falls, but heating the bats back up going into the weekend could mean three much needed conference wins. In the last week the Ponies conference record was bumped up to 3-2 with a win over Lewistown Monday in Havre. The Ponies’ overall record also now sits at 5-3 after a loss to the CMR junior varsity T...
