Editor, I am compassionate, yet realistic — my husband is a hunter and fisherman. I heard outrageous lies when approached by a trapper at his booth during a recent fair saying that animal rights people are trying to outlaw hunting and fishing and I-177 is just to get a foot in the door. The trapper bragged that he sells his services to ranchers who want to get rid of coyotes, wolves, and foxes. I asked him about the domino effect of killing these predators, i.e., being overrun with mice and voles, and he stated that he k...

Perhaps because of my own name, I’ve always been interested in names. Several years ago I was visiting with my friend Terri Magelssen. “My sister Roilene was here this summer,” she said. “Wait a minute.” I stopped her, “You have a sister named Roilene? I went to high school with a Roilene Heimbigner.” “One and the same,” Terri answered. Then she went on to tell me that Roilene often returns to Havre in the summers to visit her son Brad Holland and his family. Since the...
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — The Montana Grizzlies are still perfect against the Northern Iowa Panthers. Jerry Louie-McGee returned a punt 81 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and Montana held on to defeat Northern Iowa 20-14 on Saturday in a matchup of FCS powers. Brady Gustafson hit Josh Horner for a 34-yard score and Tim Semenza kicked two field goals for the Grizzlies (2-0), all in the first half, giving the No. 14 Grizzlies their first road win over a Top 10 o...
With just one match left before the start of Frontier Conference play, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team was looking for a good result. Unfortunately, the nationally ranked Jamestown Jimmies had other ideas. Saturday in Great Falls, the Skylights closed out the non-conference portion of their schedule with a three-set loss to the No. 23 Jimmies, by scores of 25-19, 25-12 and 25-19. The loss dropped Northern to 1-8 on the season, but, head coach Bill...
The Havre High volleyball team had a difficult task ahead of it this past weekend as it took part in the Electric City Classic in Great Falls. The tournament, which is hosted by both Great Falls and CMR, features mostly Class AA teams, as well as a few Class A squads like Havre and Lewistown. Havre, which played six matches Friday in pool play at the tournament, faced six Class AA squads and therefore finished with a record of zero wins, six losses and one draw. Yet, against t...
The Havre High cross country teams both took part in a team competition for the first time this past weekend in Malta and the results for each squad were promising. Although neither Blue Pony squad came away with a first-place finish, both HHS teams ended up finishing second at the meet. The Havre boys finished with a total of 51 points, which was just 16 points behind Glasgow, which won the meet. Richey was third with 142. On the girls side, Glasgow also took home the top...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights definitely put a scare into the Montana Tech Orediggers and their sellout crowd Saturday inside Alumni Coliseum. Unfortunately for the Lights, it was only a scare. Northern battled the Orediggers in a seven-point game for nearly three full quarters, before Tech finally took control and pulled away from the Lights for a 35-10 win Saturday afternoon in Butte, dropping MSU-N to 0-2 on the young season. The Lights got off to a disastrou...
After an extended break, the Havre High golf teams got very busy this past weekend. And, they did so with plenty of success. On Saturday, the Blue Ponies hosted a junior varsity tournament at Beaver Creek Golf Course, though all HHS players played the 18-hole tournament, which included teams from Browning and Lewistown. The Havre High boys team did well, including senior Hondo Owens, who finished first with a 90. Nik Keller was second with a 94, while Tucker Carlson was third...
One of the great things about high school football is that every year, new stars emerge. And Friday night, in Havre’s 13-12 win over Miles City at Blue Pony Stadium, there were a slew of them that burst onto the scene. For all intents and purposes, at least as far as Havre is concerned, all the defining moments of the Blue Ponies’ come-from-behind win over their Eastern A rival, came in the fourth quarter. The first of those just came over a minute into the final stanza whe...
Sometimes, to change a football game, all that’s needed is one big play. Yet, in order to win a football game, it often takes making a few more, and Friday night at Blue Pony Stadium, the Havre High football team made just enough plays to upend Miles City. Facing a 12-0 deficit and with an offense that was stagnant for much of the game, the Ponies turned to their passing game. And quarterback Trey Murphy, along with a pair of his receivers, Michael Loftus and Isaac Warp. d...
