Havre High football fans were left disappointed Saturday as the Blue Ponies' annual Blue/White scrimmage to kick off the season was canceled due to heavy rain storms that left the field in Blue Pony Stadium wet. And with HHS set to take on Whitefish Saturday, concerns about the condition of the field led to the decision not to play. However, Blue/White day wasn't a total washout as the Havre High volleyball team took to the court in game action for the first time this season....
As this year's baseball season ends in Havre, I would like to thank all the volunteer coaches who help get us through the months of game and practices. The time commitment is great, and your time invaluable. Without you, nothing would get done and nothing would be learned. Thank you. Umpires: I would like to thank you for all the endless hours of working in the sun and listening to all the "stuff" you have to listen to. Your dedication is awesome. I know how hard it is being "perfect" every game — just as some coaches are. I...
Not long ago, we wrote in this column that the only heroes in the Hays-Lodge Pole school district were the students who kept coming to school every day in hopes of getting an education. The school was in an adult-induced bedlam. In a power struggle, the district was without a principal, superintendent or any sense of order. Well, help is on the way And who is offering the help? No one other than the students and the Hays-Lodge Pole community. With a new school board, a new superintendent and new sense of commitment, the distr...
There has been a lot of jocularity in recent days because of the national craze of challenging people to have ice cold water poured over their heads as a way of raising funds for the fight against ALS, the dreaded neurological disease. If the craze moves forward this week as it did last week, it seems like nearly everyone in the country will have had the honor of being doused with frigid water. We hope so. It all raises more money and awareness for the cause. But we hope the hilarity of the ice bucket treatment doesn’t detrac...
Steady rains kept farmers out of fields with a delayed harvest but brought much-needed rain to the region late last week and over the weekend, though they also are bringing flood warnings and advisories farther east and in central Montana. The National Weather Service recording station at the Havre City-County Airport west of town recorded 2.1 inches of rain from Wednesday night through Sunday, bringing the region up to more than its normal amount for this time of year and for the weather year. It also brought weekend flood a...
Richard Mohar, the Harlem Public Works director, said most of the water that flooded Harlem during the late week storms has receded but the town is still having issues. “Thankfully, the flooding problems are not problems this morning,” Harlem Mayor Bill Taylor said. Over the weekend, Harlem residents were asked to use water sparingly while equipment tried to catch up with sudden increase in water. “That was because the amount of rain we got was inundating our wastewater system,” Taylor said. “We just wanted them to not run a...
HAYS - Two years ago, Hays-Lodge Pole Public Schools were wracked with tumult and dissention. Saturday, community members were at the school with teachers and school officials, taking part in an event with a community feed, dancing, listening to music and chatting. It was what everyone called "a new beginning." The pessimism of the past had made way for a sense of optimism as the district takes on its many challenges. The reasons for the change in morale are many - a new...
A state judge has denied the Hill County attorney’s request to file felony charges against a Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation tribal council member, but John “Chance” Houle still faces three trials in federal court alleging fraud, corruption and embezzlement at the reservation. The Hill County Attorney’s Office had requested an order allowing it to charge Houle with two counts of fraud or forgery, alleging he used another’s name in buying a pickup truck with funds taken from the Bear Paw Indian Rodeo Association. Last week,...

With only three starters back, and mostly a young and new team Montana State University-Northern head volleyball coach Bill Huebsch wasn’t quite sure what he’d see when the Skylights opened the 2014 season in Spokane. But after three days and five matches at the Sports Travel Northwest Invitational this past weekend, the picture, as far as the Skylights are concerned, is a little more clear. Northern went 3-2 in five matches in Spokane, and according to Huebsch, it was a mixed...
After two weeks of suffering in the August heat, the Montana State University-Northern Lights officially broke fall camp Friday. And in their final scrimmage for Saturday's season-opening game against Montana Tech, the team went through a two-hour scrimmage in soggy conditions in the final dress rehearsal for the much-anticipated start to the season in Butte this weekend. For the most part, the scrimmage was very controlled. The No. 1 offense and the No. 1 defense did square...
