Press release The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to help stock the shelves before the busy holiday season. Many regular donors delay giving between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day because of holiday activities. This often causes a drop in donated blood available for patients. Therefore, more donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help ensure the blood supply is sufficient through the winter months. For blood donor Katie Osorio, giving a little bit of time is worth it b...
For the past 30 years, Montana has ranked in the top five states for suicides and currently has the highest suicide rate per capita. This is an ongoing and serious problem and we must all work together to stop the unacceptable losses we are experiencing. On any given day across this nation we lose an average of 20 Veterans to suicide. Montana is not immune to this painful reality but our state and nation have vowed to be better and are taking active steps to provide resources to those who have served this nation. Earlier...
Editor, Reviewing both candidates seeking to succeed me as the senator for Senate District 16, I strongly support Democrat candidate Frank Smith. Since I cannot run for re-election due to term limits, I thing Frank Smith will be the better choice to succeed me. 1. I have served with both of the candidates in the Legislature and I find that Frank Smith’s voting record and the bill he introduced are more in line with all constituents in this diverse district. 2. On the other hand, freshman Republican Rep. Bruce Meyers, HD 3...
As a 23-year U.S. military commander, I’ve always been mission-focused, and no mission is too big or too small to take on with everything I have. Whether it’s hunting terrorists in the Middle East, winterizing the house or fighting for Montana in Congress, I always take the same mission-critical approach as your representative in Congress. For the past 21 months, you’ve tasked me with the mission to strengthen Montana’s voice in Congress. It’s no secret that Montana priorities were being ignored. Before you sent me to Congre...
Editor, Recently, a letter was published in the Havre Daily titled “Zinke has failed our trust.” I was astonished to read the negativity about Zinke mentioned throughout the letter. So in this letter, rather than list the reasons why Juneau is not fit to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, I’d like to talk Zinke’s accomplishments and why he is absolutely the right choice for Montana. Ryan Zinke has accomplished a lot for our country and our state in his two years of serving in the House. Several of the bills he supp...
Editor, Elsie Arntzen and Greg Gianforte both want to divert tax dollars to fund private schools, limit access to public lands and sell those lands off to the highest bidder. That is wrong for Montana. Greg Gianforte dismisses Steve Bullock as a career politician. Governor Bullock is a career public servant who has worked to better the lives of all Montanans. He has funded public schools, kept public lands public, worked across party lines to expand Medicare to Montanans without health care and works tirelessly each day for...
Editor, I have been a member of the Havre-Hill County Library board for several years. This experience has made me appreciate all that our library does for our community. It is certainly more than checking out books. A very informative pamphlet has been prepared summarizing information to help you decide how to vote on the matter of the mill levy for the library. This pamphlet includes the financial background for the library and the benefits of an increase by 2 mills to the library budget. A very interesting statistic: Our...
Back in March, the first day I moved into my wee casita, a noise, like a 747 on the runway awaiting clearance for take-off, startled me into combat position. (It ain’t pretty.) Once my heart quit pounding in my ears, I realized the racket came from my refrigerator. Three days later I began accompanying the noise with pilot to control tower “conversation.” Another three days and the sound was background noise, like cars on the highway, ignored. Something is wrong. The fan r...

GREAT FALLS (AP) — A group that represents independent cattle ranchers wants more say in how beef is marketed in the United States. The Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America — or R-CALF USA — filed a lawsuit this spring questioning the fact that half of the $1-per-head “beef checkoff” fee is given to the privately incorporated Montana Beef Council. R-CALF argues that its producers are being forced to subsidize the council’s promotions, which do not distinguish between domestic and foreign bee...

From FWP Hunters hit the Rocky Mountain Front for opening weekend of Montana’s general big game season, taking home more mule deer and white-tailed deer compared to the past six years.

The numbers were collected at Fish, Wildlife and Parks check station in Augusta, which has been in operation for decades; however, starting in 2010 the opener for the general deer and elk season was moved from Sunday to Saturday. “White-tail numbers in the Augusta area are str...
From FWP Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is taking public comment on two proposed rule changes: one on commercial use of fishing access sites and wildlife management areas and another that would increase camping fees at fishing access sites. The change to the commercial use rule, viewable online at fwp.mt.gov/news/publicNotices/rules/pn_0216.html, would affect the price of a filming permit for any FAS or WMA. Currently permits are progressively more expensive as the size of the filming crew exceeds 21. The new rule...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights are searching for a strong finish to the 2016 volleyball regular season. And three straight home matches is something that should aid in that finish. However, before Northern (3-5, 4-13) can get to those home matches, the Skylights will have to play one more time on the road. That match comes tonight when MSU-N visits UGF in a Frontier Conference rivalry match. The Skylights then start their three-game home stand with a match...

Now, with two more home matches looming, two more wins are needed to ensure Havre a berth in the Eastern A Super Divisional.
