Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the huge number of people who came to the Great Northern Fair Board meeting Tuesday, Oct. 20, to voice their support for Mike Sharp and the Great Northern Fairgrounds. After reading the Wednesday, Oct. 21, Havre Daily News article “Sharp quits as fairgrounds manager,” we are very disappointed with the article that did not include two hours of comment. These comments included input from the people who have the food booths, the people who have exhibit booths, th...
I have a cat burglar. Not the stealthy, romanticized thief-in-black who scales walls to steal valuables from upper stories of a home or business. I’m talking about an actual cat who burgles and who, by the way, is an unpleasant sort, a sneak-about in the dark and a brutish thug. And, yes, that last one is the real rub. This mean bully is picking on my Tony-O kitty, our resident, one-quarter feral shop cat who is often referred to as “handsome man” and “best cat ever,...

News regarding buildings this week 100 years ago tapered off in the newspapers, but there were some things still going on.

Some will say that officiating sports is a thankless job. At the high school level, referees get paid very little, get very little praise for what they do and, instead, bare the brunt of grief and anger most of the time. But for 35 years now, Havre’s Cal Wirtzberger hasn’t looked at his career of officiating high school football that way at all. Instead, as he gets ready to retire, Wirtzberger is nothing but proud and thankful for the years he’s spent on the gridiron. This...
Fort Assinniboine is where Havre began... The fort was authorized in 1879 by President Rutherford Hays to settle disputes between settlers and Native American tribes. Havre wasn't dreamed of in those day. For the most part, Natives used the land for hunting, but hadn't settled in the area. At its height, the fort had more than 100 buildings. Many remain today, though some are in bad condition. Most forts of that era have been wiped out by the ravages of time. A group of...
Preparation for the 2015-16 season is essential for the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team. And the Lights got some essential mat time during their annual Maroon/Gold Dual. On Thursday night at the Armory Gymnasium, the Lights conducted seven wrestle-off matches, with the Maroon squad coming out on top 19-10. But it wasn't the score that pleased head coach Tyson Thivierge, it was how competitive most of the matches were, and how well many of his grapplers...
It may seem like the high school football season just started but, believe it or not, the end is near as this weekend marks the final week of regular season play. Usually, the final game of the regular season means plenty of intrigue as teams fight for playoff position and conference championships. Yet, as far as the Hi-Line is concerned, the playoff picture is pretty cut and dry. When it comes to the Havre Blue Ponies, there is nothing at stake this weekend. Thanks to...
Home games are dwindling for both the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats. And so are the chances for either team to make a serious push for the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs. And both the No. 19 Griz (2-1, 3-3) and No. 20 Bobcats (2-2, 3-3) need big, rebound wins at home Saturday in order to stay in the playoff hunt. In fact, both teams need to almost win out at this point in order to get there. "We do need to pick it up as far as our sense of urgency...
Three weeks ago, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team played a thrilling five-set match at UM-Western. And in the end, it resulted in the Skylights’ first victory in Frontier Conference play. Saturday night, inside the Armory Gymnasium, the Skylights (1-6, 9-14) are hoping for a repeat performance when they host the Bulldogs (0-7, 7-14) in a conference rematch. Northern’s only home match this week will get underway at 7 p.m. In that match against Western in Di...

The season started early for the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team. But, after two home victories to open the 2015-16 season, the Skylights already got an early break. Now however, Northern (3-0) returns to action, and the Skylights do so once again in the friendly confines of the Armory Gymnasium. MSU-N is home tonight to take on Canadian women’s powerhouse Mount Royal University, with the action starting at 6. Following MSU-N’s two wins at the Duck...
There is just one game left on the regular season schedule for the Havre High football team. And even though it may not mean much when it comes to the playoff picture, it’s still a game the Blue Ponies want to win. Havre, which comes into tonight’s game in Polson with a 6-2 record overall and a 4-0 mark in the Central A Conference, has already wrapped up a conference title and first-round bye in the playoffs. Yet, one of its potential opponents in the postseason could be Polso...
Home is where the heart is. And home is where the Montana State University-Northern Lights are happy to be right now. And home, is where the Lights are hoping to pick up their first win of the 2015 season. On Saturday, Northern (0-6, 0-7) will take their shot against the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers (2-4, 2-5) at 1 p.m. inside Blue Pony Stadium. And, though Northern is in the midst of a difficult seven-game losing streak, and comes home off a 40-0 loss at Montana Tech, there...
Havre High volleyball has taken numerous steps forward since the start of the season, but nothing would be bigger for the program than finally getting a win over Belgrade. The Panthers, who have dominated the Central A Conference in volleyball in recent seasons, are the defending Class A state champions and the only team to defeat Havre (9-6, 4-1) in conference play this season. This weekend, Havre will get its chance, not only to knock off Belgrade, but to continue a stellar...
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO GOLIATH “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place where He prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for Him, and when they found Him they exclaimed, “ Everyone is looking for you!” Jesus replied, “ Let us go somewhere else – to the nearby villages – so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” So He traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in the synagogues, and driving out demons.” Mark 1: 35 – 39 Out our way, alth...
In the early 1980s a song was released called “People Need the Lord.” It was written and composed by Greg Nelson & Phil McHugh, and made popular by the singer Steve Green. The words of the chorus are: “People need the Lord. People need the Lord. / At the end of broken dreams He’s the open door. / People need the Lord. People need the Lord. / When will we realize, people need the Lord?” It is one thing to make the statement that “people need the Lord.” It is another thing entirely to sense, know and feel this statement in a pe...

There hasn't been much to celebrate this season when it comes to the Montana State University-Northern football team. However, one thing everyone associated with Lights' football can be proud of has been the play of Tyler Craig. Craig, who is in his junior season for the Lights after coming to Northern from CMR high school in Great Falls, is putting together an impressive campaign, and even though MSU-N is 0-7, Craig continues to shine. "We are just working as hard as we can...
