Havre Public Works Director Dave Peterson told the City Council Monday that the city has won its arbitration in the dispute over work on the Bullhook storm drain system under the city and the bonding company is planning how and when to resume work. The city entered arbitration last spring with Kincaid Civil Construction out of Mesa, Arizona, the company that Havre awarded the contract to rehabilitate the drainage system that runs under the streets and even buildings of Havre. Peterson said the arbitration came back in favor...
Havre City Council President Andrew Brekke officially handed in his letter of resignation Monday during the council meeting in Havre City Hall. Brekke told the council he is resigning because he is moving to another district and because state law dictates that council members must be a resident of the ward they are representing. The date of the resignation is left open, he said. Technically, he will be resigning from his seat 30 days after Nov. 1, which is his last day in his...

Just when you thought the Frontier Conference couldn't get any crazier, a weekend like this last one happens. That's right, now, more than at any point this season, the Frontier has become an absolute crap shoot, as the UM-Western Bulldogs, who were picked to finish seventh in the league in the preseason, now stand alone atop the Frontier standings and have their destiny completely in their hands. That's right, win out, and the Dawgs will be Frontier champions and headed to...

Press release The quiet rustle of Montana’s undisturbed wilderness invites hunters from far and near. Many hunters use this as time to enjoy the outdoors, spend time with family and friends, and fill their freezer for the upcoming year. But what happens when the animal is too large and the freezer is too small? Hunters Against Hunger, a partnership between Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the Montana Food Bank Network, allows hunters to donate a portion or all of their legally harvested big game animals to authorized m...
As a physician who specializes in pediatric psychiatry, it became clear to me in my medical training that barriers to mental health care needed to be reduced to ensure access to care and treatment for all patients. Voting yes on I 185 is an important step in reducing barriers and improving health and access to treatment for all Montanans. Misleading statements by the tobacco industry purposely confuse the facts about I 185. So far, tobacco companies have invested almost $12 million in an attempt to defeat I 185. Here is what...
Dear Editor, I am fed up with my telephone, television, radio, computer and mailbox pushing simplified, limited political messages at me. I am asked to donate to candidates, sign petitions, listen to slanted poll questions and attend rallies. Believe this, hate that, donate, donate — a flood of mud and dramatic cries that only my dollar can prevent catastrophe. Candidate views on issues I care about — like ending the drug war, reducing military spending, reducing fossil fuel dependence, improving education, and expanding Mon...
Health care providers strongly back I 185. Doctors wish to see their patients smoke less and enjoy better health care. I 185 does both things. It makes cigarettes less affordable through a hefty tax. It also ensures health care for 100,000 working Montanans. As a doctor, I share those sentiments. However, I am also a conservative voter. I have spent years fighting to oppose government-run health care. Why as a voter, do I support I 185? When we tally up other government funded programs including Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, wo...
Mason Dionne, Havre High Football Things haven’t always gone the Havre Blue Ponies’ way this season, but they did last Friday in Livingston. Havre junior Mason Dionne helped the Ponies beat the Rangers by rushing for a career-high 197 yards on 31 carries. For good measure, Dionne also caught three passes and threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Reese Bulkley in Havre’s 27-16 victory. Dionne, who also stars at linebacker, is also an All-State wrestler at HHS. Khloe...

If you’re ever at Montana State University-Northern sporting events, then you've likely seen Dave and Pam Wilson. In one capacity or another, they’re always there, and they’re always volunteering their time for MSU-N Athletics. And at the MSU-Northern football game against Eastern Oregon back on Oct. 6, the longtime Havre couple was honored for their service by the Frontier Conference. Pam and Dave are regulars at nearly every athletic event at MSU-Northern. They volun...
One week is all that stands between Hi-Line volleyball teams and postseason play. And that’s why last week was such a big one for high school volleyball. The action started with a huge District 6C East match in Gildford last Thursday night between the top two teams in the league. And the visiting Chinook Sugarbeeters came away with a 25-21, 26-24, 26-24 win at North Star. The win cemented first place for the Beeters, who got a huge 20 kills and six blocks from Kourtney Hanson....
