About 25 people attended a public meeting Thursday to discuss Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks' proposal to buy about 640 acres of property about 45 miles northwest of Havre for $700,000, and attendees raised many questions. The meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Hill County Electric Hospitality Room concerned buying land to add to the Lost River Wildlife Management Area, a 3,000-acre stretch of land around the Milk River the state bought in 2012 amid a pile of controversy. At that...
Not that I was hyper-critical before, but now that I'm hyper-sympathetic to errors, I find myself thinking - far too often - "Ha, ha, haw, hmm, ooooh, man, I feel your pain." It really is pain I feel in my heart-guts-brain area - even if it's a 6,835-mile-long error that lands you, your crew and 212 paying airline passengers on the wrong continent. But we'll get back to that. For a good handful, or two, of years a significant part of my job has been not only to not-make...

The play was written for Montana Repertory Theatre by Montana native Laramie Dean, who received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting from University of Montana and doctorate in playwriting at Southern Illinois Uni...

Editor, On Aug. 31, Montana’s rollback of access to medical cannabis went into effect. Thursday, the Montana State Attorney General’s Office was served with a copy of a complaint filed by several citizens, two of whom are Montanan’s called-to-action who served this country in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with a decades-long public servant. On Aug. 31, the Montana Supreme Court’s decision — effectively killing Montana’s medical cannabis program — became effective.. One part of the new law requires registered providers to...
Editor, What we need to see in our next state auditor is someone who understands what it takes to help small businesses grow and create Montana jobs. It deeply concerns us that Jesse Laslovich has none of that experience, and worst of all, his record shows him to be anti-business and anti-jobs, and that kind of record is wrong for Montana. While serving in the Montana Legislature, Jesse received failing business scores from the Montana Chamber of Commerce. A review of these scores should give voters cause for concern: He...
Friends and neighbors, The Highway 2 Association has been the voice of the 4 for 2 mission for 15 years.

After taking on the Cut Bank Time Trials last week, both Havre High cross country teams will see their first team competition as they will each take part in the Malta Invitational. In Malta, Blue Ponies will compete against a number of other teams from different classifications. Last season, HHS competed against teams from Malta, Glasgow, Poplar, Rocky Boy, Culbertson-Bainville, Brockton, Winnett and Circle. The meet will get started Saturday at 10 a.m. in Malta. While both...
When the Montana State University-Northern Lights hit the turf inside Butte’s Alumni Coliseum, they’ll know exactly what they need to do better, and they’ll know the game plan well. That’s what a bye week does for a team. However, there’s a flip side to that coin. The Lights are also walking right into what will be a very hostile environment to play a team with a lot to be fired up about. Saturday’s game between the Lights (0-1, 0-1) and the No. 7 Montana Tech Orediggers (0-1,...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights are into week three of the 2016 volleyball season. And, they’re just one match away from the start of Frontier Conference play. The Skylights, who are 1-7 to start the season, will play that one match Saturday morning when they take on nationally ranked Jamestown College at the UGF Tournament in Great Falls. Northern was to have more matches in Great Falls, but several teams decided not attend the tourney, so MSU-N will play t...
Before last Tuesday, I’d never been to New York City. And I’d certainly never been to the U.S. Open tennis tournament. But last week, I made both of those dreams come true. It’s pretty safe to say that attending the U.S. Open was very high up on my bucket list considering how big a part of my life the game of tennis has been for the better part of 30 years. And, the Big Apple is a nice by-product of traveling to tennis’ biggest show. And yet, as great a time as I had over th...
With every game during a football season, the stakes seem to get higher. And while the Havre Blue Ponies will not have any specific on the line tonight against Miles City, there is no question, it's a big game. "I think to say that the players are excited, is an understatement," HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. "I think they are really excited to be playing their first game at home and then when it's against a team like Miles City, it makes it even more exciting." Of course,...
Chris Peterson Havre Daily News cpeterson@havredailynews.com If tonight’s game against the Miles City Cowboys is the first time you will be seeing the Havre High football team in 2016, then when you get to the game, you might need to do a double take. No, these aren’t the pass-happy Blue Ponies of previous years. This team is all about ground and pound — and while there are many components that make the Havre running game go, no piece is more vital than senior tailback Jase St...
For 12 years, Paul and Mandy Hansen persistently worked to resurrect their campground property. The campground was a longtime goal, a dream that had turned into a problem shortly after it had become reality. In 2000, the Hansens bought the former Milk River RV Park off U.S. Highway 2 between Chinook and Havre. They uprooted and relocated their lives, two young boys included, from California to north-central Montana. But the business began to financially bleed them, and they...

You know, Lord, there isn’t a one of us who doesn’t need help, now and then. We might not know we need help — but occasionally, we could all use a bit of encouragement. Older women are good at this. Mom and Auntie Selena were both old-fashioned girls, both knew how to do a multitude of things. Mom, on the ranch, was miles away while hubby’s auntie was just across town. Mom had the talent and ability to do many things. Auntie Selena also had special gifts: she once taught school, she loved to read, she also wrote poetry. And l...
Galatians 4:4-5 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. This fall our adopted dog turns 14. He lived next to us his entire life before he moved in to our home. When my neighbors had to put their previous dog to sleep we did not know if they would ever have another dog. I eventually talked my friend into buying his wife another toy poodle. My young teenage daughter and I awoke...
Mark 8:1-10 Out our way, folks are expected to do the best they can with what they have rather than complain about what they don't have. A couple of years back my saddle pard, Charlie, and I were trying move a few hundred head - or so it seemed - down from their summer pasture to their winter grounds. The problem was, they didn't want to go. The grass was getting short from all the grazing, but the water in the reservoir was still high, and these pairs were reluctant to leave...
