When did the sage grouse become a national priority surpassing energy independence, and does this fowl really require millions of acres of energy-rich land to survive? Those are the obvious questions that arise when reading the Bureau of Land Management’s recent 812-page Resource Management Plan for the Hi-Line. The document, released this spring and currently out for public comment, is a good example of the unfortunate trend toward declaring Montana off-limits to d...
After a relatively dry winter and early spring, a weather pattern is bringing enough rain to the area that National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for north-central Montana. The storm that socked in Wednesday evening is expected to bring two more inches of rain — up to three in the southern parts of the Bear Paw Mountains — from this morning through Friday evening. Both Hill County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator Joe Parenteau and Blaine County DES Coordinator Haley Gustitis said they are closely wat...
The Havre High fastpitch softball team was just a couple of runs from making the 2013 Class A state tournament. And while the Blue Ponies didn’t quite reach their ultimate goal, they certainly have been rewarded for their talent on the field. Tuesday, the Central A released its 2013 All-Conference list and six Blue Ponies were honored. Leading the way was senior pitcher Davee McLeod, who earned First-Team All-Conference honors. McLeod, who is now a three-time all-conference s...

A sheriff's deputy responding to a complaint of an erratic driver Sunday night pulled over state Sen. Shannon Augare on U.S. Highway 2 about nine miles west of Cut Bank, Sgt. Judd Milender said in a statement. The deputy identified Augare, 33, as a Blackfeet tribal councilman and the Democratic s...
If you were never able to see Havre High’s Thurman Holdsclaw play football, you missed a lot of great performances on the gridiron. His two-year prep career went by in a flash, but fortunately for football fans, while his prep career has come and gone, his collegiate career is just beginning. In just a short amount of time, Holdsclaw was able to get on a lot of schools' watch lists. As a junior, Holdsclaw’s first season of high school football, he was named First-Team All-Conf...

One windy day last October, I tripped over a leaf-covered obstruction in the sidewalk and broke my wrist. Looking back, my painful wrist was the first catalyst I can identify that began to steer my thinking in the direction of a major life change. Since my accident, I can no longer do a lot of things I used to be able to carry off with panache. Just yesterday the man I hired to do some yard work I can’t handle any more — stuff involving a wheel barrow and pitch fork — asked...
People from the United States and Canada flock to many of the historical attractions on the Hi-Line, but lots of local people have never taken in the sights.

This weekend is a great time to solve some of those problems. Living History will be held Saturday at the major attractions in the Havre area. You can drive to each attraction...

Every historical attraction will be filled with events designed to teach people northern Mon...
