Editor, Trapper Fran Buell’s letter wildly misconstrues Montana Trap-Free Public Lands I-177. If a badger digs holes in agricultural fields on public lands, damaging a crop and endangering the safety of the tractor driver, and someone actually wants to put a trap in their field, they can call Fish, Wildlife and Parks for a permit to trap that badger under I-177. I-177 allows trapping to protect property as well for safety. There is no requirement for FWP to come to the site, or to spend 30 days trying all nonlethal methods of...

People in Havre might remember Lauren Scofield as the girl down the street, a classmate or someone active in community activities, but for the past few months she has been known to the rest of the state and country as Miss Montana. Scofield returned home this weekend for the first time since she was crowned Miss Montana in June and a week after representing the state at the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She visited with friends and Saturday was greeted...
I will stand for the national anthem because I live in a free country. This freedom comes with a price. This freedom comes from the ultimate sacrifice. This freedom comes from hard work, deep thinking, intense arguments, powerful protests, and a continued dedication to improving our country. This freedom also comes from a long and sordid past. I have never wanted to be a soldier or a politician. I have been happy to enjoy the freedoms and luxuries that come from living in America, and have tried my best to stay an informed,...
A massive sob came over Havre Thursday afternoon as word spread that civic leader Pam Hillery had died. She had meant so much to so many. On Facebook, in downtown conversations, in office buildings, people mourned her passing. Not that it was a surprise. Since she learned nearly four years ago that she had the horrific disease ALS, Pam had been open about it. In Facebook posts, newspaper columns, blogs, in interviews and in public appearances she had been very open about it. She shared the most secret thoughts on life and...

Sept. 14, 2016, Pamela Ann Hillery passed away surrounded by her family. She would never say that she fought a brave battle with ALS, but instead that she relished the opportunity to truly appreciate the wonderful life she was given and the chance to say a proper goodbye to all the family and friends she loved so very much. Pam was born as the baby into a large Irish-Catholic family in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, July 26, 1960. Her family moved to Columbus, Ohio, when she...
Since Aaron Christensen arrived in Havre two years ago, as the new head coach of the Montana State University-Northern Lights, over and over he preached to his players one message: “All we want to do is be 1-0 this week. All we want to do is win our next game.” But, a young, inexperienced and rebuilding Lights program couldn’t find a way to do that for 13 straight games dating back to August of 2015. Number 14, however, turned out be the one. It turned out to be the week...
The win the Montana State University-Northern Lights earned against Carroll College, now 10 years ago, will always be remembered. And deservedly so. But, from Saturday forward, it won’t be remembered as the last time the Lights beat the Fighting Saints. No, the 2016 Lights put that phrase to rest. In fact, the way the Lights played against nationally-ranked Carroll Saturday, they buried it. They buried it for good. And that’s something these current Lights needed. They nee...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team knew it was capable of good things. The Skylights new they were capable of winning matches. They just needed to prove it to themselves — and, as it turns out, their first match inside the Armory Gymnasium was the perfect proving ground. Friday night, inside a packed and loud Armory, the Skylights opened Frontier Conference play with a dominating performance against two-time defending Frontier champion Rocky Mountain C...
For the last week in practice, the Havre High volleyball team focused on getting back to basics. And Saturday night in Conrad, that hard work paid off as the Blue Ponies earned a sweep over the Cowgirls. The Ponies, who had played in a number of preseason tournaments, had just one match this week, and during it they took care of business, defeating Conrad 25-12, 25-22 and 25-8 to earn their third win of the season and improve their overall record to 3-4. “We finally won a m...
Now it gets really real for the Havre High golf teams. The Blue Ponies wrapped up the regular season this past week with two tournaments on the road, and now head into the 2016 postseason. Thursday, Havre was at Eaglerock Golf Course when the Blue Ponies played in the Billings Central Invitational, which included a tough field of the host Rams as well as all three Class AA Billings schools. The remainder of the Eastern A was also in attendance, so the tournament was certainly...
For the second week in a row, the Havre High football team spotted an Eastern A opponent 13 points to start the game. Yet, unlike last week against Miles City, the Blue Ponies couldn’t pull off the dramatic comeback. After making the long trip to Sidney, Havre struggled early on and never recovered as HHS fell to the Eagles 28-7 Friday night on the road. It was the Ponies' final non-conference game as they get set to take on Browning in the start of Central A conference p...
The Havre High cross country teams continue to get early-season challenges at the meets both teams have been competing in. And that was especially true last Friday in Lewistown. Both the Blue Pony boys and the Blue Pony girls made the trip to Lewistown, and not only did each team see plenty of Class A competition, both got to run against a couple of Class AA schools as Billings Senior and Billings Skyview were both in attendance. The HHS boys had another solid performance, fin...
The Glacier Nationals of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League got their season underway this past weekend, but, unfortunately, they had to open their season against one of the best teams in the Frontier Division.

The two teams met Friday in Great Falls to open the season...

When the Montana State University-Northern Lights walked out of Blue pony Stadium with a loss to Rocky Mountain College Aug. 27, and again when they walked out of Montana Tech’s Alumni Coliseum with another defeat last Saturday, they knew it. They knew they were close. They knew that if they could just stop making costly errors, they were a team that could win football games — even games against NAIA and Frontier Conference royalty like Carroll College. As it turned out, the...
