The assembly was the first of three visits to Havre elementary schools for National Bullying Awareness Month. Miss Montana Danielle Wineman emphasized each student “is the star of their own story” and, therefore, can determine what the students think about themselves. Continuing the m...
South side Havre resident Dave Kaasa got a surprise when he looked out in his yard Tuesday. There was a coyote. He called Havre police for advice. They said they could do nothing. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks came to the scene and decided it was best to euthanize the coyote. Kaasa said FWP told him that they often sedate other animals and take them into the wild and set them free, but their policy is not to do that with coyotes, Kaasa said. At first, Kaasa said, the...

Enrollment in Havre Public School has increased since a year ago. The increase encourages school officials, who have seen slight enrollment decreases in recent years. State assistance to schools depends on the enrollment figures, so school officials are always glad to see enrollment rise. Total enrollment for the district for this fall is 1,901, an increase from 1,862 in September 2014. “That’s not a big increase, but it’s going in the right direction,” said District Clerk Mike Decker. A second enrollment count will be held...

Late last season, the Chicago Bears brought in former Havre High great Marc Mariani for a reason — to solidify the kick return game. And, at the end of 2014 season Mariani did just that. Now, in his second season, and first full season with the Bears, Mariani is doing more than just solidifying the Bears’ kick return game — he’s owning it. Last Sunday, Mariani had one of his best return games of the season, as he returned two kickoffs for 50 yards and averaged nearly 10 yard...
Blue Pony senior Brock Ross headed for the finish line It takes a certain kind of individual to be a cross country runner and after seven years of doing it, there is little doubt that Havre High senior Brock Ross is one of those people. Ross, who is in his third season competing for the Havre High cross country team, has just one more race to run in his high school cross country career and that will take place this Saturday in Great Falls at the All-Class state meet. It will...
In football, at any level, it’s hard to win five games in one season. The sports is just that difficult — unless you’re the New England Patriots anyway. And winning five games in a row — well that’s even harder. But that’s exactly what the Havre High football team has done. Heading into the final regular season game on the schedule, a non-conference bout at Polson Friday night, the Blue Ponies haven’t tasted defeat in over a month. The last Havre loss came in Miles City al...
