A noticeable absence at this year’s Festival Days celebration was the Hi-Line Games, which had to be postponed due to concerns about COVID-19. Montana State University-Northern Assistant Professor Grant Olson, one of the organizers of the event, said none of the would-be participants have tested positive for COVID-19, but some had displayed symptoms and they decided to postpone the event just in case. “We had some COVID-related issues come up,” Olson said. “Nothing really serious, but a lot of questions.” The Hi-Line G...

Editor, I’m a CASA volunteer and a Havre Public School bus driver. In each of these positions, I am not only entrusted with helping ensure children’s safety. I am also required by law to report instances of suspected child neglect and abuse as I see them. The most egregious offenses are those that negligently threaten children’s well-being and safety and those that abusively deny protections that place children in jeopardy. These can include the absence of proper clothing for weather conditions, proper diet for healthy devel...
Editor, Cattle ranchers, like me, are dedicated to caring for our animals and the land every day of the year. On our ranch, we believe that cattle are part of the climate solution. First, they are incredible recyclers, and by feeding them parts of the crop people cannot eat, we are solving a food waste issue. In the winter, when less feed is available, we feed our cattle the tops of the sugar beets and corn stalks we grow as a cash crop. Additionally, our ranch has improved the quality of the grassland and soil. By reseeding...
As expected, the Hill County Park Board has basically voted to continue with its current way of managing beaver in Beaver Creek Park. Trapping is the only means of control they have ever used and will continue to use. No mention of measures or monitoring or keeping records. There was a small mention of using other devices in certain instances but would have to be voted on by the board and to see if they have the money for it. The adopted original draft by the committee effectively indicates “the superintendent has the a...

The Lights forced three turnovers in the second half and scored 21 straight points, but behind a big rushing day from backup running back...
