With some help from pizza sales, work on repairing Havre streets started this morning. Havre was among the first 11 cities in the nation to receive a grant from Domino's Pizza to supplement its budget for street repair, and Havre Public Works employees were on 12th Avenue between First and Fourth streets doing work. "Cracks, bumps and potholes can easily ruin a good carryout pizza, and nobody wants that," T.R. Christianson, Havre Domino's franchise owner, said in a release...
Homecoming at Montana State University-Northern is always special. It's always a time to celebrate. But, this weekend, and especially when the Montana State University-Northern Lights take on Carroll College, special will have a whole new meaning. As far as football programs go, 20 years isn't very long to be around. After all, teams like Michigan and Ohio State have been playing for well over 100 years now. Even Montana State and Montana will play each other for the 119th...
A state District judge took little time in denying a former Hill County attorney's request to overturn three contempt of court convictions, at the same time she was paying fines and entering her sentence on six days of house arrest. Jessica Cole-Hodgkinson last Thursday requested state District Judge Dan Boucher to overturn the criminal contempt of court findings made by Hill County Justice of the Peace Audrey Barger Aug. 7 for Cole-Hodgkinson's failing to appear or find...

The Battle of Nations Indian Relay race is set for Saturday and Sunday at the...
The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians is the closest it has ever been to receiving federal recognition as a Native American tribe. Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill sponsored by Rep. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., to recognize the tribe. “The Little Shell Tribe has had to wait too long for the federal government to act toward its well-deserved recognition,” Gianforte said in a release Thursday. “I appreciate the hard work, dedication and determination of Chairman Gray and the Little Shell people. Today...
For the Fort Belknap Indian Community, the state of Montana’s “bad actor” mining law is a matter of accountability, justice and common sense. We support the state enforcing that law against Hecla Mining CEO Phillips Baker. Baker was the top financial official at Pegasus Gold when the company filed for bankruptcy. Baker moved on to his next venture, but those of us living downstream from Pegasus Gold’s abandoned Zortman-Landusky mines did not have that luxury. After obliterating areas of the Little Rocky Mountains that ar...
I would like to tell you that my trip time in Washington is all sublime, that every moment is perfection, that my head is in the clouds with happiness. You would call me out on it, right? You might sing, “Liar, liar, pants on fire.” So let me start with the sublime, the uplifting, the part I am trying to hang onto and not let go. My time with family takes first place in my reckoning. My son Ben, my granddaughter Lexi, our talks are most precious. How do I put into words my...

Press release A video tailored to the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation will start helping people track and control a serious health problem — high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the condition most commonly linked to stroke. Three out of 4 first-time stroke victims have high blood pressure. Controlling high blood pressure is critical to the prevention of death and disability resulting from stroke. Fortunately, the “silent killer” may also be the most easily managed of all the risk factors for stroke. “If you don’t know...

But before the Ponies get to the postseason, they have 36 tough holes to play. Today, Havre is in Billings to take on the Eaglerock Golf Course in Billings. The 18-hole tourney...
Fish, Wildlife and Parks With Montana’s bow hunting and upland game bird seasons opening Sept. 1, 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, Bob Marshall Wilderness complex and Yel...
Fish, Wildlife and Parks Upland season started Sept. 1 with mountain, sage and sharptail grouse along with partridge. Pheasant hunting starts Oct. 6. All seasons end Jan. 1, except sage grouse, which ends Sept. 30. Gray (Hungarian) Partridge While no formal surveys are conducted for huns in Montana, weather and habitat conditions suggest huns across the state will range from slightly above to below average this season, depending on the area of the state. Region 4 has seen good bird numbers in many areas but due to heavy...
Fish, Wildlife and Parks With hunting seasons underway, it’s important for archery hunters to keep in mind chronic wasting disease and carcass transport restrictions in portions of north-central and south-central Montana. Last year, CWD was discovered in deer south of Billings and north of Chester. This contagious neurological disease infects deer, elk and moose. It is always fatal and there is no known cure. CWD is not known to infect humans, but it is strongly recommended that humans not eat meat from infected animals. B...
Montana FWP Are you ready for hunting season? Montana has some of the longest hunting seasons in the West, healthy herds of game and access to millions of acres of public land. However, hunters must be mindful of fire danger and of private landowners who are facing grass shortages, poor crop production and fatigue from monitoring for fire. Hunter harvest helps to reduce wildlife densities on a stressed landscape, and perhaps to help lessen winter depredation on hay stacks or...
