The group of 30 student...
The 2016 seniors on the Havre High football team have been through a lot. They have played in the Class A playoffs twice, won a Central A championship and were one win away from playing in the state championship game a year ago. They have also been through three head coaches in three years, yet, no matter what, they keep winning. This season, with a new head coach, a new quarterback and a number of new starters, the Blue Ponies were unsure what they could achieve. However,...
After 22 years as a state district judge in a three-county district, Judge John C. McKeon will hang up his robe in November. "I've tried to do my job studiously, hardworking and timely and confidently throughout this entire tenure," he said. For McKeon, the decision to retire as the district judge in Blaine, Phillips and Valley counties wasn't necessarily an easy one, but "it was just time." McKeon grew up in Malta, went to school at Gonzaga University and University of...
Owners of a store in the village of Whycocomagh, Nova Scotia, are employing some good ol’ colonial strategies to help out with a population problem that has become an employee shortage problem: land-deal bribery. Unable to find enough employees for their country store/bakery, Farmer’s Daughter Country Market, and recognizing that the problem was a lack of community members, owners Sandee Maclean and Heather Coulombe looked at their asset of 80 acres of farmland to solve the...
Dear Editor, I find it somewhat ironic that Kyle Austin calls the City of Havre greedy when he wants to start a business with city water and sewer but does not want to pay city taxes. Who might be the greedy one here? Perhaps he does not realize that Montana statutes allow for the city to annex businesses that are receiving city services. All the property owners receiving city water and sewer within the city limits pay city taxes. Is it really right that your neighbor across the street is receiving city water and sewer and is...

You know, Lord, remembering the date, week or month, we’re brokenhearted, they’re gone, we’re still here, will we survive this journey? No two people handle sorrow the same; it’s a winding road, maybe like climbing up a mountain side. Then as hard as mourning is, can we even imagine several losses all within one year? How very sad. Thankfully, there are grief support groups and through that, though everyone’s story is different, those who attend tend to find light in darkness. When life is in disarray, it’s hard to have hop...
We’re a few weeks into the school year now, and no doubt all of you students are poring over your textbooks, conducting research, and studying hard! I hope you are also enjoying some extracurricular activities. Whatever you are studying and whatever goals you have, may you be inspired by these words from Proverbs 4:5, penned by King Solomon: “Get wisdom! Get understanding!” That sounds like good advice but how do we go about it? King Solomon had some thoughts on that too: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and...
Mark 7:1-23 As some of you may know, the name of this column, "Out Our Way," is based on the work of J.R. Williams, a cartoonist from back in the '30s and '40s, who immortalized the cowboy with his single-panel cartoons. My dad had a book of his cowboy cartoons that I still have and still go to from time to time. One of my favorites was a cartoon of a scrawny old man sitting in a kid's saddle on a worn out plug mare, wearing a worn out suit coat and hat, shoes and a single...

From MSU BOZEMAN — A self-governing body representing sororities at Montana State University was recently recognized by the National Panhellenic Conference with a national award of excellence for its efforts to maintain the highest standards of the organization. MSU’s Panhellenic Council, which was founded in 1924, was one of only 27 schools nationwide, and the only school in Montana, to be honored with the award. The awards are based on each chapter’s achievements in a total of seven categories: recruitment; Panhe...
Bob Quinn is an organic farmer, researcher and world traveler who believes diet is a major reason so many Americans are in poor health. "The amount of illness and chronic illness and autoimmune disease - all those things - I think are tied with our poor diet. We are very well-fed - we are not very well nourished. And this is why we're having so much trouble with health," he said. High health costs can be greatly curbed, Quinn said, by paying more for quality food. "Rather...
Now that Class A football uses the wildcard playoff system, the truth is, every game matters. But when it comes to the Havre High football team, the goal is to clinch one of the Central A Conference's two automatic berths and that process starts tonight, against the Browning Indians. The Blue Ponies, who went 3-1 in the non-conference play, with wins over Whitefish, Hardin and Miles City, as well as a loss to Sidney, play the first our four straight conference games as they...
Every year, and especially this season, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team has a mission when it comes to playing Frontier Conference matches at home. And that mission is simple – win every match. The mission isn't an easy one, but so far, the Skylights are perfect when it comes to their goal of holding serve at home. And that perfection continued Thursday night when the Skylights bounced their biggest rival, the UGF Argos in three games. Northern i...
The Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats are each three weeks into the 2016 season. But for both teams, things get really real on Saturday. Both the No. 6 Grizzlies (2-0) and un-ranked Bobcats (2-1) open Big Sky Conference play on Saturday, and both teams face daunting challenges. The Griz, who had last week off after upsetting then No. 3 Northern Iowa on the road, have a huge uphill battle when they travel to San Luis Obispo, California for their Big Sky opener against...
The Glacier Nationals of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League didn't get their season off to the start they wanted to last weekend. But with the Gillette Wild coming to town for back-to-back games tonight and Saturday, the Nationals will have a chance to rebound. Last weekend, the first of the regular season, the Nationals played two games against the Great Falls Americans, losing the first 11-0 in Great Falls, followed by a 9-0 loss in Havre the next night. Of course, the...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights had every right to be feeling good about themselves last Saturday night, and even in the days following their triumphant win over Carroll College. However, if Northern wants to continue the success and momentum it built in its 28-14 win over then No. 21 Carroll last Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium, the Lights must put it behind them. That's because the Lights (1-2, 1-2) have to get right back on the field this Saturday, and the oppone...
Last week, the Havre High volleyball team took a step in the right direction, with a non-conference win over Conrad. Now, the Blue Ponies will try to stack successes with a second straight win in non-conference play. Last Saturday, the Ponies made the trip to Conrad, but this weekend, Havre will finally get the chance to play at the Pony Corral for the first time, as the Ponies will host another Class B opponent, Choteau, Saturday afternoon. The match will begin at...
