BILLINGS (AP) — A gay couple has been told they can no longer receive Communion or participate in church ministry after a new priest at a Roman Catholic church in central Montana learned they had been married in a civil ceremony more than a year ago. The decision set off a split that has cut attendance at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church in Lewistown. Bishop Michael Warfel of the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings plans to visit on Saturday to discuss how church teachings apply to the situation. Paul Huff, 66, and Tom W...
In Havre, sports and Festival Days go hand in hand, it’s tradition, and you can’t have one without the other. This weekend, the Glacier Nationals of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League open the 2014-15 season and for the first time they will be included in the tradition and pageantry of Festival Days. The Nationals, who relocated to Havre from Kalispell this past summer, will represent the community of Havre for the first time tonight when they travel to Helena to tak...
BILLINGS (AP) — Gov. Steve Bullock said Friday that Montana can meet the Obama administration's goal of reducing climate pollution while protecting energy-related jobs and avoiding the closure of coal plants that generate the bulk of the state's emissions. The White House plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 has generated a backlash in many coal-dependent states. Republicans in Montana have sought to capitalize on the issue ahead of November's election, asserting the climate plan amounts t...

If the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats have ever played two bigger games on the same day, at almost the exact same time, than it’s been a while. But that’s exactly what will go down Saturday when the No. 4 Grizzlies and No. 14 Bobcats are faced with two huge FCS challenges. Montana will travel to Fargo, North Dakota, to take on the No. 1-ranked and three-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State Bison in a game that has been nearly four years in the mak...
Havreites and Hi-Liners gathered to pick up garbage in the area to keep Havre and the area looking sharp. Havre Pride has been held for around 17 years, according to Kim Cripps, one of the main organizers of the event and a real estate agent with Hi-Line Realty. She said the initiative was begun by local business people, who wanted to improve the cleanliness of the streets of Havre. They go out twice a year: at the end of April before college graduation and the end of summer...
A few years ago, Charlie and I were checking for strays as the time had come to move the herd from the summer pasture. The grass was pretty well used up and the reservoir was getting down, so we had moved most of the herd down to the gate leading into the fresh fall pasture. Then Charlie and I rode out to the far corners and just scouted to see if we missed anyone. Well, indeed we had, for as we hit the far fence and turned around to begin riding back, we saw a little bull...

The Havre Police Department employs the men and women who keep the city safe at night. Officer Brian Cassidy began his shift Saturday with standard preparative procedures. "At the beginning of the shift, we go through the same sort of starter procedures," Cassidy said. The officers check their radars, cameras, car lights, siren and duty weapons as part of preparing for their shifts. The patrol cars are equipped with a 12-gauge shotgun and an AR-15 platform. "We make sure...
When Rick Verploegen was a Havre Middle School student, he found his passion for reading and writing. He loved reading novels, especially historical action that was filled with history. He especially enjoyed books by Matthew Reilly, who specialized in action thrillers. He was sure that someday he would write such a book. Today, he has done just that. While working as a flight instructor and pilot in Bozeman, he authored "Wings of Fury." Although he used a pen name, R.N. Vick,...
High on the list of life’s elixirs, those magical potions that bring a spark of, well, magic to food, to gatherings, to life itself, is horseradish. Yes, glorious, creamy, rip your sinuses right out of your head horseradish. What’s a roast beef without it? Just a slab of slightly pinkish, brown meat of beast taking up space on my plate and underwhelming my palate. When you have roast beast cooking away in the oven on a crisp fall-like day and nary a jar of horseradish to be...
Editor: Last night at soccer a tragedy was fortunately averted when two dogs almost got into a fight. They should not be there or anywhere there are large crowds of people and food, including Festival Days activities, parades, craft fairs and farmers market. Why bring them? Leave them at home. There are so many children playing and running. Where is your common sense? Apparently where your dogs should be — at home. Kim Cripps Havre...
Laurel: From the Kiwanians who will flip pancakes for the breakfast that is one of Havre’s most enduring traditions Saturday morning, to the Scouts who will march in the parade Saturday, to the softball players who will work and play through the night, to the ladies who will display their lovely quilts at the Mat Corner, to the volleyball players at Havre High School and at Montana State University-Northern, to the Friends of the Library who provide one of the best bargains you can ask for — a bag for books for a buck — t...
It's been a frustrating start to the season for the Havre High volleyball team after going winless in its first six official matches. Yet, part of the reason for the struggles has been a high level competition, which will only help HHS improve as the season goes on. After dropping a match to Conrad in Havre last Thursday and competing in the Electric City Classic, which featured a number of Class AA schools and Class A power Lewistown, the Blue Ponies are battle tested and...
The road to the start of the Frontier Conference volleyball season was a long one for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights, who, in three weeks, played eight nationally-ranked opponents between trips to Spokane, Bellevue, Nebraska and Helena. But the road to get back to the Armory Gymnasium has been even longer. And after opening Frontier play with losses at Lewis-Clark State and Montana Tech last weekend, the Skylights (4-11, 0-2) are finally back in the Armory....
When two teams are in desperate search of a win, games usually turn out to be very exciting. In the case of the Montana State University-Northern Lights and UM-Western Bulldogs, both teams are in a little bit of desperation mode. Saturday afternoon in Dillon, one team will get that much-needed second win of the season when the Lights (1-2, 0-2) and Bulldogs (1-3, 1-2) tangle at Vigilante Field. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. Northern comes into Saturday's game having lost to No. 5...
To say that the Havre High football team is in desperate need of a win would be an understatement. The Blue Ponies have lost three very winnable games and even though they have yet to begin Central A conference play, they still want to avoid an 0-4 start at all costs. Tonight, the Ponies will try to put it all together for the first time this season and end their three-game winless streak on the road against Glendive. The nonconference tilt between HHS and the Red Devils is...
In Class C football in Montana, whether it is Six-Man or 8-man, enrollment and participation numbers matter. Normally, more kids means more success. For Chester/J-I, numbers have never been an issue ... until this season. In 2014, the Hawks are playing 8-man football with just 12 players, and anyone associated with the sport will tell you, that's not easy. But C/J-I and head coach Jim Vinson, a veteran of the Class C ranks, are making it work. Vinson said he was prepared for...
Forgiveness is easy in the abstract. It’s not so easy when it’s personal. How do you go about forgiving someone who has wronged you? How many times is enough? In telling the parable recorded in Matthew 18:21-35, Jesus says, in effect, “Lose the score card! Don’t measure the forgiveness you give.” Easier said than done. Here’s a brief summary of the parable: There was a servant who owed the king an enormous debt. He begged for more time; instead, the king forgave the entire debt. That servant then found a man who owed him a...
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die … Jesus was a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. He did not shy away from sickness or death. Rather, He brought hope, healing, and encouragement to others. Recently, my in-laws lost their middle son to a heart attack. Twelve years ago, they lost their first born son to a heart attack. The pain in people’s lives when they lose a loved one is real. They think about the loss of their lov...
