For more than 10 years, the Court Appointed Special Advocates office in Helena helped recruit, train and coordinate the volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children, but now that office will be closing down though the effects are expected to be minimal, representatives say. The board of directors for CASA, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, voted to close the office due to lack of money. Executive Director of CASA of Hill County Mark Douglass said the closing of the Helena office will have a minimal...
The local acting troupe is moving on with a new season, holding auditions Friday for a different kind of theater.

Editor, My name is Jerrica Friedt, and I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was 17 years old. Now I am 26 and a mother of two, and I rely on medical cannabis to alleviate my symptoms and to help me make it through each day with this debilitating illness. My 2007 diagnosis marked the beginning of a long battle with prescription drugs and treatments that disagreed with my body and left me in serious pain. Daily injections of Copaxone resulted in a severe allergic reaction, then daily injections of Betaseron left me...
Editor, I would hope that the people vote wisely for once in their lives and vote for those who are not currently in office. I also hope they do not vote for anyone else who was in the Rocky Boy tribal council previously. We do not need the same old replay of the past which nearly destroyed this reservation. I have decided not to run this time around and not because I didn’t have the money to file but because someone must do what I do. When I find that someone who will replace me on the outside, looking in, then I will c...
Editor As A. Martin wrote, “If we would know the political and moral condition of a state, we must ask what rank women are in it, their influence embrues the whole of life.” When voting, I look for sanity, sound thinking, sincerity, and political experience. Frank McLain Havre...

The CASA of Montana state office added value to the efforts of Montana’s local CASA programs, whose role has always been – and remains – to recruit, train, and coordinate the volunteer advocates who directly serve our endangered children in court. Although the state o...
Most of the Frontier Conference will get a well-deserved rest this week. But one team that will be back in action is the team nobody probably wants to play right now, including its opponent, the College of Idaho Yotes. After losing their first two games, and losing their starting quarterback to an injury, it would have seemed like the Southern Oregon Raiders might be in for their first down season since joining the Frontier five years ago. But in the immortal words of Lee...
Life on the road has been tough on the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. But, the Skylights have two chances this weekend to turn that trend around. Northern (2-2, 3-9) faces its only back-to-back road trip of the season this weekend, starting with a match at Montana Tech tonight in Butte. MSU-N wraps up the trip with a visit to Lewis-Clark State Saturday afternoon. And the Skylights, who are perfect 2-0 at home and are right in the middle of the pack in the...

Northern head coach Chris Mouat announced the signing of Terry, a 5-5 Blue Pony guard, Wednesday afternoon. “Naomi is an outstanding competitor,” Mouat said. “She plays with a ton of passion and is pretty fearless. I really like her toughness, especia...
The Havre High volleyball team has been working on improving over the past few weeks and while the Blue Ponies have gotten some good results against Class B opponents, the real test starts with matches against CMR and Lewistown this week.

The match will start at approximately 7. “I think that we are getting better,” HHS...
For high school golfers around the state, this weekend is the culmination of hard work, dedication and a lot of swings. And that’s very true for eight Havre Blue Ponies. On Friday and Saturday, the Blue Ponies will tee it up at the 2016 Class A state tournament, which will be held at Hamilton Golf Club, and while neither the HHS girls or boys are likely going to be in contention for a team state championship, veteran head coach Brett Gilman said both teams can have a great f...
