The Montana State University-Northern football team was hoping to get the 2016 season started off on the right foot Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium. And, in many ways, the Lights. But, Northern still fell short on the scoreboard as the Battlin' Bears came to Havre and gave new head coach Jason Petrino his first career win with a 31-21 Frontier Conference victory. The difference in the game was Rocky's ability to turn three Northern turnovers into 21 points, and, the Lights'...

The Havre High volleyball team nearly climbed to the top of the Eastern A mountain in 2015, finishing third at the Eastern A Super Divisional. But after losing some key players, Havre will find out quickly how far it must go to get back. That's because starting today, in Lewistown, Havre will take part in the Eastern A Tip-Off Volleyball tournament, which will pit Havre and the rest of the Central A Conference against all the teams from the Eastern A. Pool play in the...
The annual season-opening game between Havre and Whitefish is built as a rivalry game. But the truth is, in recent years, it hasn't been much of a rivalry at all. For the past four years, the Bulldogs have dominated the Blue Ponies, winning twice in Whitefish and in consecutive years at Blue Pony Stadium, including last season's 44-12 rout. But this year, both teams have changed drastically and with the series shifting to Whitefish, where the two teams will meet Saturday at 2...

Simone Smith said something she saw last week made her sad enough that she took action. Smith said she saw a father tell a little girl there was no more money to pay for her school supplies, and she has since started a school supplies drive with her co-workers. Smith said it happened in the Walmart checkout line about a week ago. The family in front of her was buying groceries and other items and the school supplies were at the tail end. Smith remembers the father saying...
Tito Ybarra, a comic and enrolled member of the Red Band of the Ojibwe, put on a high-energy, hour-long performance at Stone Child College's Little Bear Gymnasium Thursday night for residents of Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation. Ybarra's performance included impressions as well as elements of raw improvisational and slapstick comedy aided by props. Throughout the course of his show, the heavy-set performer mocked his own appearance, and touched on other topics including sex and...

By Emily Mayer There really wasn't much in the newspapers 100 years ago this week. An announcement that the Hill County Fairgrounds would play host tocar races the coming Sunday was printed in the Hill County Democrat's Aug. 26, 1916 issue. Races for light cars, big cars and free-for-alls were scheduled, and the drivers included Jerry Wanderlich, King Kelly from Chicago, Captain Harvey Kennedy of Ohio, Adolph Carlitz of Illinois, Coy Doyle, Rex Young and Fred Jennings. In...
With war in the Middle East bleeding the U.S. military budget dry, government officials have had to come up with creative ways to practice war craft, and officials launched their inaugural test run under this initiative Sunday with a small-scale invasion of riverfront property in Canada under the guise of a drunken float trip in the Great Lakes region. About 1,500 water-floaters taking part in the Port Huron Float Down on St. Clair River were blown by storm winds to the...
George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor [email protected] They say practice makes perfect. But in sports, perfect is never realistic, at least not very often. So as the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team prepares to open the season today in Butte, the Skylights are hoping practice has led them to being ready to strive for perfection. Northern opens the season with four matches at the Big Sky Challenge in Butte, starting with today’s matches a...
Winter conditioning, recruiting, spring ball, the grind of summer workouts and fall camp two-a-days. For the Montana State University-Northern Lights, it's all been about what's about to happen Saturday. It's all been about winning their next game. That game comes in the form of Saturday's 2016 season-opener, where the Lights will face the last team they beat, the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears at 1 p.m. inside Blue Pony Stadium. And while Northern's last win came at RM...
Mark 7: 24 - 30 Out our way, winter can be a tough time for livestock. Most Montanans are familiar with the clasic Charlie Russell print, "Waiting for the Chinook." It shows a starving long horn surrounded by wolves as yet another bizzard swirls across the Hi-Line. We Montanans know what a long string of "Alberta Clippers," and no chinooks, is like - and we also know the importance of getting that extra feed out to the herd in the midst of such dark days. Although I never...

You know, Lord, the second week in August is called National Smile Week! Also along in that week, someone decided that the 10th should be called Lazy Day. That makes one think about goofing off and definitely not doing any work. With the hot, muggy weather, it makes it easy to kick back and be lazy for a day. If summer chores aren’t done, “So what” a friend said, “Chores can wait for one more day, right?” He thought spending some time on a hammock, sipping a favorite summer beverage was a great idea, while his neighbor...
The forecast for Aug. 9 was bleak as a group of us from Havre planned to attend the Franklin Graham Prayer Rally in Helena. However, we left Havre under sunny skies and found ourselves at noon standing in the shadow of the state capital under perfect conditions. We, along with 2,700 other Christians, had come to Helena to hear Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, speak. Mr. Graham is on a 50-state tour of America speaking in front of each of the state capital buildings. His goal is to pray at each capital by the...

The past two seasons of Chinook Sugarbeeter football have been magical. Yet, with great success comes great expectations, and dealing with those expectations will be one of Chinook's biggest challenges in 2016. Of course, having all eyes on you is never a bad thing and after making the Class C 8-Man state championship the past two seasons, and winning it last year, the eyes of 8-man football will once again be on Chinook. Yet, the Beeters aren't thinking about last season or...
There are some days that, no matter what happens in life, we will always remember. For Sam Mix, May 3, 2014, will be one of those days. Another will come this Saturday, when Mix returns to the football field for the first time since a horrific stabbing nearly took, not only his ability to play, but also his life. That fateful night, when Mix was stabbed 45 times, his life changed forever. Yet Mix, who was told soon after the attack that he would never play football again,...
