Editor, I applaud President Trump’s executive order of the review of the relatively recent designations by former presidents under the Antiquities Act of 1906. The Antiquities Act, signed into law, by President Roosevelt was designed to preserve our antiquities for educational, scientific and historical purposes. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, The Archaeologist Resource Protection Act of 1979 and the National American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 provide additional and specific guide-lines f...

The Havre Daily News is giving both a laurel and a dart to the Montanan in the highest government position in the country, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke. Kudos to Zinke for saying he will recommend several monuments, including the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, not be changed. A dart for recommending one, Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, be downsized and for participating in a review that is a waste of time and money. President Donald Trump ordered Zinke review 27 monuments of 100,000 acres or...
What a precious two weeks in Poulsbo, Washington, while I stayed with my son, Ben. Ben and I had always been close; we’d weathered some tough early years together. Ben, at 35, a responsible family man with the best computer job in the world, working for a toy company where he went to work to play games, hit some extremely painful emotional times. He chose to opt out of the pain. At that time, Ben pushed me out of his life and, in retrospect, I’m glad he did so. It took a while...
Editor, Congratulations to our senators, representative and governor for moving the Rocky Boy’s/North Central Regional Water Project forward.

Most of the structures have exceeded their design life, and the disrepair has been l...

From Monana Fish, Wildlife and Parks With Montana’s upland game bird season opening Sept.1 — and the bow hunting season set to open Sept. 2 — remember that slow moving, quiet or game-calling, scented and camouflaged hunters will soon be sharing the landscape with the state’s even stealthier bears that may be stalking similar prey. It may not be an encounter one hopes for, but all hunters must be aware there is that potential. Grizzly bears are found throughout the western half of Montana, not just the Rocky Mountain Front,...

If there are any doubts lingering about how good and how deep the Frontier Conference is in football, they should be all but erased. In recent years, the league has produced a national champion in Southern Oregon and has gone three straight years now of having a Frontier team in the NAIA semifinals – with Eastern Oregon accomplishing that feat just last fall. Fast-forward to this fall, and over half of the Frontier, five teams in all, were voted into the NAIA Preseason C...

But after missing out in 2016, the goal for the Blue Ponies is to try and get back there. Leading the way for Havre this season is third-year head coach Tamecia Jarvis and a roster that features six seniors and two juniors.

For the Havre High football team, 2016 was a tale of two seasons.
