Many thanks to the Hill County Park Board and Havre Daily News for putting out information on the proposed park fees that will be voted on at the Nov. 4 park board meeting. Beaver Creek Park, Hill County and the residents of Hill County deserve and need to receive fair value for what it sells. Unlike many parks, we take pride in being self-supporting and in these times of austerity, Hill County and Beaver Creek Park cannot afford to give things away. On the other hand, fees should not be excessive since we also pride...
Darin Hannum was delighted when he was named superintendent of the Box Elder School District earlier this year. The longtime administrator succeeded Robert Heppner, who had been superintendent for 17 years. But Hannum’s first few months have been among the most difficult in the district’s century-long history. The problems have nothing to do with the Box Elder community, but decisions — and lack of decisions — in Washington, D.C. The district depends on federal impact aid for about half of its operating budget. Impact aid is...
"The national search for provost is proceeding." Add the premature resignation of Rosalyn Templeton, MSU-Northern provost, to a long list of professionals who have come and gone from our community. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Ms. Templeton. She is obviously well-qualified for the position or she would not have been hired. I'm sure she has a very impressive resume. It's just that this seems to be an all too familiar story line. The fact of the matter is Montana can be a hard place to live. Winters can be harsh....

A part of Havre’s 3rd Street caved in recently, and the flowing Bullhook could be seen from the surface. Bullhook, where it runs through Havre, has been covered over almost completely through the years as the city of Havre grew around — and over — the creek that drains from the south side into the Milk River. The cave-in may not be a cause for panic, but it certainly is a cause for concern. A good citizen rerouted traffic around the hole until authorities could come and take charge, but that might not happen the next time....

Shane Hiawatha Denny, 37, pleaded not guilty last week in federal court in Great Falls to assault with the intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious injury.

Northern Montana Health Care will undertake a $3.5 million remodeling of the existing Behavior Health Services Building, converting it into a Women's and Family Health Center. The plans were announced to the corporate board last week at its bi-annual meeting. It is expected to open about one year from now. The 15,000 square foot building was built in 1990 to serve as a chemical dependency unit for Northern Montana Hospital. The building, which had also been used as a...
Another indictment accusing someone of embezzling at Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation has been unsealed, the fourth this year accusing someone of taking federal funds allocated to the tribal government. Garcia Duran, 35, pleaded not guilty in federal court in Great Falls last week to charges of theft from an Indian tribal organization and theft from a health care facility. According to the indictment, Duran, a supply technician at the Health Board at Rocky Boy, purchased goods and services for his personal use and billed the H...
Even when you're as good as the Montana State University-Northern Skylights are, volleyball is a game of momentum, and things can't possibly go your way every single night. But it's how teams respond when the chips are down which makes them great. And after five grueling sets in the first of two tough home matches this weekend at the Armory Gymnasium, the Skylights certainly showed how great they are when backed into a corner. Northern upended the Lewis-Clark State Warriors...
The Montana State Board of Nursing’s executive officer has found Montana State University-Northern’s nursing program not in “substantial compliance” with the state nursing education rules. Cynthia Gustafson, the executive officer of the Montana State Board of Nursing, visited Northern Oct. 16 and 17 to look at the nursing program. “Our site report findings presented to the Board in July concluded that the program was in ‘substantial compliance’ with the rules of the Board … but that there were areas of work that the progra...
In a weekend where the Havre High volleyball team could have made some noise in the Central A race, the Blue Ponies continued to struggle late in the season on the road. Havre faced two conference opponents in Browning on Saturday. But trying to get find some sort of consistent level of play before the post season tournaments, the Ponies dropped two more matches. The Belgrade Panthers defeated the Ponies in three games by scores of 25-23, 25-26, and 25-23, and the Livingston Rangers defeated the Ponies in three games by...
BOZEMAN (AP) - DeNarius McGhee completed 10 of 13 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the first half leading No. 5 Montana State to a 34-17 win over UC Davis Saturday.

McGhee finished the day 15 of 20 for 230 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. "DeNarius McGhee is a tremendous young man and a winner," UC Davis...
In 2012, the Montana State University-Northern wrestling season got off to a rocky start, as the Lights were beaten by North Idaho College in a season-opening dual in Havre. Despite that start, things worked out pretty well for the Lights last season, as they finished third at the NAIA national tournament. Now, Northern hopes the same will be true this season, because once again, the Cardinals, a NJCAA powerhouse, handed the Lights a season-opening loss. Northern lost to North...
If the Montana State University-Northern Skylights got off to a sluggish start in their season-opening win over the University of Lethbridge last Thursday night, the Skylights were the exact opposite in their second outing of the young season. Sunday afternoon at the Armory Gymnasium, Northern got off to a quick start on both ends of the floor and wound up racing by Mount Royal University, 78-41. The win improved MSU-N to 2-0 on the season, and head coach Chris Mouat credited...
Success isn't always measured in trophies and medals. And heading into Saturday's Class A state cross country meet, the Havre High boys and girls cross country teams could have already called the season a success. But an outstanding day by the Blue Pony girls and strong times by the HHS boys capped off an already successful season. The Pony girls finished an outstanding fourth and the HHS boys placed 11th overall at the Class A state meet Saturday at the University of Montana...
For years now, the Carroll College Fighting Saints have had a way of making it a long afternoon when going head-to-head with the Montana State University-Northern Lights. In fact, coming into Saturday's game in Havre, Carroll had done it to Northern 17 straight times. And on a sunny and windy day at Blue Pony Stadium, the Saints made it 18 long days in a row. The No. 7 Saints defeated the Lights 42-14 in Frontier Conference play at Blue Pony Stadium in Havre Saturday....
For the third straight week the Montana State University-Northern football team struggled in Frontier Conference play. And after the Lights suffered a 42-14 loss to the powerhouse Carroll Saints on Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium in Havre, it marked the third straight loss for the Lights as well. The Lights started the 2013 season with a 4-1 record, but have fallen to 4-4 after the three game slide to Rocky Mountain, Southern Oregon, and now Carroll. A big reason for the recent...
Playing the final game of the regular season, the Havre High football team still had several areas of concern to check off of its list before rolling into the postseason. A win was also on the want list, and the No. 2 Central A Ponies accomplished that with a 32-6 romping over the conference rival Browning Indians Friday night in Browning. The Ponies improved to 3-1 in the conference and 4-4 overall, while the Indians finished winless in league play. Teams have been plenty...
