A chance discussion with a state lawmaker has prompted Havre High School senior Chris Steinmetz to launch an effort to get new American flags for classrooms in his school. Steinmetz is earning his Eagle Scout badge by replacing every flag in every classroom. He is going around the community asking businesses and residents for donations to help raise the $1,200 he needs to buy the flags. He decided to undertake the project after hearing State Sen. Kris Hansen, R-Havre,...
Traditional Veterans Day services were held Wednesday in Havre. The Legion Honor Guard fired a three-volley salute on Town Square and then the crowd moved to the Havre Elks Club for further observances. And the crowd members, many growing older, were heartened by one event that took place during the ceremonies. Kindergarteners and first-graders at Highland Park Early Primary School had made colored drawings thanking the veterans for their service to the country. That was...

Operation: Help Santa is a project that has been built up over the last few years, starting to raise funds and collect merchandise to provide elementary students with a special gift delivered by Santa and his elves. The Rocky Boy High School Jobs for Montana Graduates class is joining Operation: Help Santa this season to collect toys and winter essentials for 320 or more students for a total...
When you think about the future of Havre and other Hill county communities, what do you visualize and hope for? Dreams for a vital, thriving community are wonderful but we all know that funding is a critical barrier to actualizing these dreams. Year after year, it becomes increasingly more difficult to support local libraries, senior centers, parks, theatrers, museums and more. On the other hand, few of us may be aware of the vast wealth currently leaving our state. In 2010, The Montana Transfer of Wealth Study was sponsored...
Fear is a mind killer. Take my latest foolishness. My friend Lani, who lives in Etzatlan near Guadalajara has invited me to hop the bus to visit numerous times. I’ve always conjured excuses. I like Lani. Fear held me back. Cousin Nancie is in Etzatlan visiting Lani. The two of them flanked me, out maneuvered me, forced me to face my fear. Stupid fear. Fear of getting on a bus, alone, for the trip into the mountains of Jalisco. My neighbor Ted asked me, “Were you afraid whe...

The Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team has faced two quality NAIA teams so far this season. And they're about to face two more. Northern (5-0) will head to Las Vegas this weekend for a pair of games against top NAIA competition, and it's an opportunity for the new-look Lights to see just how they stack up against national competition. The Lights will face Benedictine University of Mesa (1-3) on Friday, a new NAIA program. On Saturday, Northern steps it up...

If you are familiar with Class A football in Montana, you know that over the past decade, and more, no team compares to the Dillon Beavers. Dillon is the two-time defending state champion and is looking to get back to the championship game for the fourth straight year. Standing in its way are the Havre Blue Ponies, Dillon’s old Central A rival. The two teams will go at it Saturday at Vigilante Stadium in Dillon. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. It may seem strange for two teams that once...
A three-way tie for the Frontier Conference championship? Yes, it's entirely possible that could happen. But, not if the Montana Tech Orediggers have anything to say about it. Tech put itself in position to win the conference title outright this Saturday by beating No.1-ranked Southern Oregon 21-17 last Saturday in Ashland, Oregon. In what was billed as the NAIA Game of the Week, Tech's stingy defense put the brakes on an SOU offense that had been averaging nearly 50 points pe...
The Montanan State University-Northern volleyball team played to win, and wanted to win every single match they played this season. But, the young Skylights also had another goal. And that goal was to be playing their best when the postseason rolled around - regardless of their record. That postseason is now here, and, if last Saturday night's senior night match against the UGF Argos was any indication, the Skylights are indeed going into the 2015 Frontier Conference...

Tonight in Great Falls, the Montana State University-Northern Lights and UGF Argos will fire the first salvo in their two-dual series for the 2015-16 season, and as always, it should be a great match. Northern comes into the dual ranked No. 5 in the NAIA, and fresh off two successful tournaments to open the season. The Argos attended the same...
Every senior class wants to leave a lasting impression when it comes to the sports it plays. And this year, the seniors on the Havre High volleyball team have done exactly that. It hasn't always been easy for Dani Wagner, Reggie Bernard, Kaitlin Nystrom, Madison Huebsch and Megan Erickson, the five seniors of the Blue Pony volleyball team, but in the end, their hard work and dedication paid off and their dream of playing in a state tournament has become a reality. Last...
