It was another tough Friday night for the Havre High football team. On the road in Lewistown, the Blue Ponies were shut out by the Golden Eagles 21-0 in an Eastern A game.

The Ponies are 0-3 on the season, and will host Miles City for homecoming on Friday night. In other area games, Harlem fell to Glasgow 64-8 in a...

"I've always fought for the right for people to vote in person, I think it's the right they have and I will continue to fight for the right for people, Montanans to vote in person," Jacobsen said.

Early this week my husband and I had to say goodbye to the best dog ever. Cooper was complex, unceasingly faithful, funny, a bit of jerk, neurotic, sweet and adored by many fans and loved ones. He was the number one wing man in my posse, John's best little buddy, the supervisor on all work parties, a semi-professional trick performer and the finest example of how far a good attitude will get you. His early life unfolds like the dog version of a 19th century novel, maybe a...
Editor, I am writing to remind the Havre community of the importance of the 2020 Census, with the hope that those of you who have not yet completed the Census may learn of its significance, especially in our rural communities. Growing up in a rural community, I have witnessed firsthand the barriers we face with internet and phone service compared to larger towns and cities. These disparities, unfortunately, make it more difficult for rural residents to access the 2020 Census form. In addition, in many rural areas, the Census...
The Big Sandy High football team has been on a roll to start the 2020 season, with an undefeated 3-0 overall record. Plenty of factors have been putting together the powerful concoction that is the Pioneers, but on both sides of the ball, there is a nice double-dose of Strutz. Brothers Kade and Kody Strutz have been major parts of Big Sandy athletics. The two were a part of last year's excellent football and basketball seasons for the Pioneers and overall, have been a shining...

Press release Tuesday, Sept. 15, the Chinook community hosted the American Red Cross Blood Drive. It was another great turnout. Our schedule was not as full, which made more room for walk ins.

By Havre Daily News Staff BILLINGS — It has been almost five years since the Havre High golf teams had qualified both its boys and girls programs for the state tournament in the same season. But after 18 holes at Lake Hills Golf Course, the Blue Ponies did just that. Thursday at the Eastern A Divisional in Billings, the Havre boys placed third and the Pony girls finished fourth, which sent both teams, 10 players in all, to next week’s Class A state tourney in Butte. “I could...
The 2020 season has not gone in the direction that the Havre High football team was hoping for, but it is a usual tough climb through the Eastern A. Now, week three is here for the Blue Ponies and when it comes to Friday's game against the Lewistown Golden Eagles, Havre will have a difficult game ahead. The Eagles will await the Ponies in Lewistown for a rivalry game that has spanned a long time. Kickoff is tonight at 7. The 2019 season saw Havre topple Lewistown twice in...
Our future hope You know, Lord, during this pandemic time, the passing away of dear ones just feels different than it used to, a long while ago. As we grieve for friends who have recently passed on, it was truly most interesting to reread 2 Cor 5:1-10, to "learn" a bit about our future! We read: "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be cl...
Out our way, a lot of cowboys wear chaps. Not the ornate and decorated cloth type worn in parades, but heavy duty leather ones that can turn aside the thorns and sharp branches of the wooded thickets where strays sometimes wander. I have told the story before of the big fall roundup in which Big Mike and his buddies scoured the pastures with four-wheelers and drove in some 200-300 stock. But he still needed Charlie and me in chaps and on horseback, because there were strays...
The reality of our human condition right now is that we are all so caught up in our pain and our own interests that we have forgotten to show up for one another; we have forgotten to see the humanity in each other. We are with Job again in the aftermath of losing everything — his wealth, his possessions, and his own children. Throughout the Book of Job, there is an ongoing dialogue between Job and three of his friends; his friends started out so well by offering him their comforting presence in silence for seven days but t...
