MATT VOLZ Associated Press An Afghan military officer who deserted last month while participating in a training program in the U.S. was arrested on a Washington-state bound Amtrak train, U.S. Border Patrol agents said Thursday.

The Ward 1 candidates for Havre City Council agree they have no problem if people want to have a drink at Town Square while enjoying music at Sounds on the Square. They would favor allowing the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce to continue operating the program as it always has. "I think it was blown out of proportion," said Ed Matter, a former school board president and radio station manager. "If a man and his wife want to drink a wine cooler that's no big deal," he said. The...
By Emily Mayer The good news regarding the building of Havre and Hill County continued in the newspapers 100 years ago.

The two candidates who are running unopposed for Havre City Council spoke on their plans for the next four years at the forum sponsored by the Havre Daily News Thursday night. Brian Barrows, the pastor of Abundant Life Ministries, is seeking his second four-year term on the council. He recalled entering the race four years ago. Fellow council member Pam Hillery had suggested that he run. “Little did Pam know that I was already praying about that,” he said. He decided that he would run if two other people asked him to. They di...

Cass, who is retired and works part-time, is opposing Caleb Hutchins, an instructional designer at Montana State University-Northern. On various issues: Annexation Hutchins said he isn't familiar with the details of annexation rules, but in general favored the idea that people receiving city services pay full city taxes. Many properties on the west wide of Havre pay the city for...
My mom and her three sisters are — let’s say “quirky” just in case one of them gets her hands on this column. All four of the women are different, though I won't elaborate on their characters because I value my life. But all four have one common characteristic: They have spent their entire lives, consciously and subconsciously, in search of themselves, wondering constantly “who am I?” No one taught them when they were little — and their minds were big — useful cliches like: “w...

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO GOLIATH "That evening, at sundown, the people brought to Jesus all who were sick or possessed by demons. And the whole city was gathered around the door. And he cured those who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and he would not allow the demons to speak because they knew him." Mark 1:32-34 Out our way, horses and cowboys often build special bonds. Take me and Goliath. Now I am far from a real cowboy, but Goliath and I did get to...
“I have a dream … .” Most of us are familiar with that quote from the very powerful speech of Martin Luther King Jr., delivered on Aug.t 28, 1963. I have a few dreams of my own. I dream of seeing drug addicts in our community living in health and freedom; I dream that a friend of ours who has Parkinson’s will be healed; I dream that broken relationships will be restored. Those are just a few of my current dreams. Some of them seem pretty outrageous, perhaps even unattainable. But why not dream big, especially knowing how big...
There are a lot of great storylines when it comes to the Havre High football team. But possibly the best among them, has been the play of Nate Rismon. Rismon, a senior who plays both wide receiver and cornerback for the Blue Ponies, has come a long way from where he was a year ago at this time — when he was relegated to the sidelines. That's because in the opening game of the 2014 season, Rismon broke his leg. He played a half of football and caught one touchdown pass. Then, s...
Last Friday, the Havre High football team defeated Belgrade for the first time in four years. Tonight, with a win over Lewistown, the Blue Ponies can do something else they haven't in four years - win a Central A Conference championship. Thanks to their win over Belgrade, the Ponies (5-2, 3-0) are in the driver's seat in the Central A and can wrap up their first conference title since 2011 with a win over Lewistown (3-3, 1-1) tonight at 7 inside Blue Pony Stadium. "When I...
The Havre High volleyball team is already a win away from doubling its win total from last season. And if they can get at least a split against Conrad and Choteau this Saturday, the Blue Ponies will have achieved it with three regular season matches remaining. Other than trying to add to their win total and get better in the process, the Ponies will have little at stake when they take on Choteau and Conrad in back-to-back non-conference tilts at the HHS gymnasium on Saturday....
After a week on the road, the Glacier Nationals hockey team will return to the Havre Ice Dome this weekend for a pair of games against the Gillette Wild. Glacier, which earned its first win of the season against the Billings Bulls last Saturday, currently sits in sixth place in the Frontier Division of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League. Starting Friday, the Nationals will look to improve on their 1-5-1 record as they host the Wild in back-to-back games tonight and...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team was hoping to start the second half of the Frontier Conference season with a big upset on the road. The nationally ranked Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears had other ideas however. On Thursday night at the Fortin Center in Billings, the No. 6 Bears swept the Skylights by scores of 25-21, 25-21 and 25-10. The loss dropped MSU-N to 1-5 in the Frontier while the Bears remained unbeaten in conference play. Northern came i...
There was a time when the Havre High cross country teams won championships. But those days now seem long ago. Yet, head coach Josh Holt believes championships are on the horizon and both Blue Pony squads will get their first shot to bring home some hardware this Saturday in Browning at the Central A Divisional meet. “I think that we will get there,” Holt said. “It’s going to take us a couple of years because we are just starting to build our foundation and that will take ti...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights have five games left. That's five chances to not only get a much-needed win, but also five more opportunities to keep building the program in the right direction. The first of those chances will come Saturday when the Lights (0-5, 0-6) travel to Butte to take on 13th-ranked Montana Tech (4-1, 4-1), and that opportunity to get better, let alone win, comes with a price. The price is, the Orediggers are very good. And Northern knows...
