BOZEMAN (AP) — A year after looters dug up a chunk of land previously occupied by a historic military fort, local educators are using the opportunity to learn more about Bozeman’s past. Last October, three men were caught digging on land a few miles east of downtown Bozeman, which, nearly 150 years earlier, was home to the area’s military camp Fort Ellis. The square-mile parcel of land is currently owned by Montana State University’s Agricultural Experiment Station, which occasionally uses it for grazing. The men, who cla...
Now in its 15th year, the Town Pump Charitable Foundation hopes to raise over $3 million in its annual fundraising campaign for food banks across Montana, including the Havre Community Food Bank and the Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen.

The initiative was funded by a grant from the Department of Energy to deploy renewable energy projects on American Indian Reservations.

Editor, It cannot be denied that marijuana has medical properties. But proponents of I-182 want you to recognize the medical benefits and deny the significant negative health, social and economic consequences that it has on our communities. Marijuana is neither safe nor harmless. While well-tested pharmaceutical marijuana products may be a valid form of medication, I-182 does not responsibly grant access of medical marijuana with the oversight of medical professionals to patients who may truly benefit from it while knowing...
Editor, On the 2016 ballot, Initiative 177 appears for a yes or no vote. The people who voted absentee have already decided and chose either yes or no. There are still those who will be voting on Nov. 8. Initiative 177 will be affecting every person and animal if passed. This initiative will ban trapping on public land using foothold traps and snares. This has proven to be an effective wildlife management tool used by trappers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Fish, Wildlife and Parks. If these tools cannot be used to...
Editor, I’m writing this letter in support of Jacob Bachmeier. Jacob was born and raised in Havre and understands the area and that small businesses are the heart of our community. He has expressed a practical plan for growing real wages for all. First, he wants lower taxes on small businesses. Then he wants to fight to provide a living wage for employees with the money that small business owners would save. Being born and raised in Montana, he has expressed his strong support for public lands, and fish and hunting access. U...
Editor, I decided before I ran for public office that I would not participate in negative campaigning. And to this principle I have remained true. The honest discussion of ideas and solutions is a healthy part of the process. In Montana it is legal for other entities to send mailers during an election cycle. It is against the law for candidates to coordinate or even know about these mailers. In order to know who sent a specific mailer you have to read the fine print where it will read “Paid for by … .” This statement is re...

The donation from Bill and Carolyn Franke and their children was announced earlier this month. The money is going to the College of Forestry and Conservation and the Global Leadership Initiative. The university will work to acquire funding for a new building as part of the agreement outlining t...

HELENA — The Crow Nation and the state have settled nearly four decades of litigation over whether Montana can tax coal owned by the tribe, with the state to pay $15 million if the tribe gives up claims on past taxes collected. The dispute, which began in the 1970s, is over land near the Crow reservation in southeastern Montana that the tribe ceded to the U.S. more than a century ago. The tribe still owns the mineral rights to the coal-rich land, where the Westmoreland Coal Company leases the reserves and produces an average...
HELENA — Montana’s secretary of state, responding to complaints of people offering to deliver voters’ absentee ballots for them, said Friday that residents should mail in or hand their ballots directly to their election office unless they know and trust the people who are handling them. Secretary of State Linda McCulloch’s comments come after voters in at least three counties reported that people offered to deliver their absentee ballots for them, and after remarks by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that th...
BOZEMAN (AP) — Gage Gubrud threw for a school record 520 yards and four touchdowns to different receivers to lead Eastern Washington to a 41-17 win over Montana State Saturday. Gubrud was 37 for 51, hitting Shaq Hill, Cooper Kupp, Jayce Gilder and Zach Wemberly for scores as keep the Eagles (6-1, 4-0) unbeaten in the Big Sky Conference. The Bobcats led from the opening drive until 2:27 was remaining in the half. MSU fumbled on its own 16 and the Eagles were in the end zone t...
The Glacier Nationals have a long road trip ahead of them. So they were hoping to take advantage of two games against the Bozeman Icedogs this weekend inside the Havre Ice Dome. Instead, it was the Icedogs who seemed to feel right at home in Havre, as they swept the two-game set with the Nationals. Bozeman won 5-1 Friday night, and followed that up with a 7-2 win Saturday night. In the second game, the Icedogs were relentless offensively, scoring six goals in the first two...
In two matches against arch rival Rocky Mountain College this season, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights have played very well. Unfortunately for the Skylights, they will have to settle for a season split with the Battlin’ Bears. Northern returned from the annual Frontier Conference bye week, for a rematch with RMC Friday night in Billings, and after having already swept Rocky last month in Havre, the Skylights nearly knocked the Bears off again. Instead, Rocky s...
Chris Peterson Havre Daily News [email protected] All season long, both Havre High cross country teams have had one goal: to get better. And this past Saturday, at the Class A state meet, both teams managed to perform better than they did a season ago. Last season, both Blue Pony teams took 12th at the state meet. This year, in Kalispell, both teams finished 11th and according to head coach Josh Holt, the Ponies improved across the board. Frenchtown won the boys...
George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor [email protected] The Montana State University-Northern Skylights didn’t have much difficulty in their season-opening win over Mount Royal University Thursday night. But head coach Chris Mouat knew his team needed to play better on the second night of the young season. That’s because the Skylights were going head-to-head with the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns, a CIS team from Canada that has a lot of potential thi...
I’m a superstitious guy when it comes to sports. I can’t help it. I’m that guy who will think of just about 100 different ways in which I jinxed my own teams. I’m not that guy to blame others for the jinxes though, only myself. So having said that, you can only imagine how superstitious I am when it comes to the Chicago Cubs — which doesn’t make me much different than any other Cub fan on the planet. And because I am a deeply devoted, diehard, true-blue Cub fan, I owe the thr...
George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor [email protected] Since Saturday’s showdown between the Montana State University-Northern Lights and Montana Tech Orediggers was the last one of the season between the two, it was also going to be the last time fans on both sides of the rivalry got to see the two of the premier running backs in the NAIA go at each other as well. And for them, it would be the last time they played on the same field. Northern’s Zach McK...
George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor [email protected] Despite back-to-back losses to finish Central A Conference play, the Havre Blue Ponies had everything to play for in their regular season finale. A win over third-ranked and Northwest A champion Polson, on senior night, and the Blue Ponies were going to the playoffs. But, there was one problem with that scenario — the Pirates. Polson stars Tanner Wilson (QB) and Matthew Rensvold (WR), two Montana Grizz...
Chris Peterson Havre Daily News [email protected] For the Havre High volleyball team, the objective against Livingston and Belgrade was to win one match. A sweep would be great, but a split was required. And over the course of two days, inside the HHS gymnasium, Havre hosted both teams, knocking off Livingston in come-from-behind fashion Friday, then losing to Belgrade the second. Havre beat Livingston by the scores of 26-24, 17-25, 19-25, 25-21 and 15-11. Havre...
George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor [email protected] When it comes to season-openers, there’s a certain amount of sloppiness that is usually expected, and that’s OK with most basketball coaches. However, in their season debut, the Montana State University-Northern Lights looked anything but sloppy. Friday night, inside the Armory Gymnasium, the Lights opened their 2016-17 campaign with a convincing win over Yellowstone Christian College of Billings, 93-...
George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor [email protected] The nickname of the Montana Tech football team is the Orediggers. But it was the Montana State University-Northern Lights who found themselves trying to dig out of a massive hole on homecoming. Thanks to two huge scoring spurts in the first 30 minutes, the No. 8 Orediggers overwhelmed the Lights 63-16 Saturday afternoon at Blue Pony Stadium. Tech’s school-record 701 yards of total offense, and 21 p...
