Montana delegation blasts farm bill failure HELENA (AP) — The Montana congressional delegation is blasting the House for failing to advance a farm bill. The House rejected its version of a half-trillion-dollar farm bill on Thursday amid wrangling over food stamp cuts. The Senate overwhelmingly passed its version of the bill last week. Freshman U.S. Rep. Steve Daines called the bill's failure "unacceptable." He voted for House legislation he called "long overdue," and said it still needs to be passed. U.S. Sen. Max Baucus s...
There’s many advantages to 18-hole golf courses. It doesn’t matter if the town is the size of New York City or Havre.

And soon, Havre will have its first 18-hole golf course. When owners Greg and Gary Baltrusch first broke ground on what is now Prairie Farms Golf Course, located east of Havre, back in 2004, the plan was alw...
It’s not unheard of for a Havre athlete to gain attention from other programs, or from sports fans across the state. But Blake Preeshl has taken that attention one step further, gaining recognition on a national level.

From there, he began to commute from Havre to Helena to play for the Helena Bighorns, where he was fortunate enough to win a state championship. And his e...

But unfortunately for the Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team, they didn’t get off the diamond before the Great Falls Hawks erupted into a storm of their own. Wednesday at Legion field in Havre, the North Stars and Hawks split in a non-league doubleheader. The North Sta...
I was both honored and encouraged earlier this year when Gov. Steve Bullock appointed me director of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. It was an honor knowing I'd be back at the helm of this remarkable agency. FWP plays an essential role in Montana's outdoor culture and recreation-based economy. And it's staffed by a dedicated and professional corps of biologists, game wardens, park managers and others. I know of no more committed, qualified and experienced group of conservation professionals than the men and women working...

The Flood of 1938 caused a great deal of property damage in the areas it affected. Homes, businesses, government buildings, crops, and personal property such as automobiles and furnishings were damaged or destroyed in the flood. One estimate stated a half a million dollars. However, this flood should be remembered as the Deadly Flood of 1938. As the Havre Daily stated in its June 24, 1938 edition, these losses “sink to insignificance” — and for good reason. In an area aroun...
