Havre's annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner is a long-standing Havre tradition, with a history of serving people since an anonymous donor in 1984 started the tradition of bringing a communal environment and a free meal to anyone who wants to attend. "It shows the heart of our community," Larry Larson said. He added that he has been coming to the dinner since it first started and always enjoys seeing old friends and meeting new people. The community dinner is a free Thanksgivi...
As feral swine make their way closer and closer to Montana on the U.S.-Canadian border, state officials have prepared a plan to control and eradicate invasive species if spotted in the state, as well as working to educate people on what to do if feral swine are spotted in their area. "What we've learned from experience, from other states' experiences, hunting doesn't work and, in fact, it actually makes the problem worse," Department of Livestock State Veterinarian Dr. Martin...
Havre Public Schools is hosting its third Community Safety Forum of the year Thursday at the high school auditorium from 6 to 7 p.m. “I think the thing that will be really unique this time, maybe a little different than the last couple of times, is that you are going to hear directly from the principals,” Havre Public Schools District Superintendent Andy Carlson said. “They each are going to take a piece from their building to answer some of the questions that were generated from the two previous (safety forums) and we’re...
The winter storm expected to hit this part of Montana seemed to come early and end earlier than expected, but more wintry weather again is in the forecast. National Weather Service had issued a winter storm warning for much of north-central Montana including Chouteau, Hill and Liberty counties through today, and a blizzard warning for the northern Rocky Mountain Front. The storm was expected to drop 3 to 7 more inches of snow in the plains, up to 10 inches in some areas, and 12 to 18 inches in the Front with some locations...

I don’t ice fish. I don’t enjoy winter enough to stand on ice watching a bobber do nothing, and I’m not a good enough drinker to sit in an ice house trying to drink that bobber under the water table. Dad used to take us ice fishing when we were kids. I don’t know how he and Mom thought it was worth it. I guess they didn’t know any better. The day started well before dawn, especially the times we were taking the snowmobile into a snowed-in lake. Dad, Mom, Brother and I would b...
To the editor, Havre Daily News: In an article about ridership on Amtrak’s Empire Builder passenger train featured in the Nov. 25 edition of the Havre Daily News, I am quoted as suggesting that the peak ridership for the train at 554,000 in 2008 was due to Amtrak providing enhanced equipment, amenities and promotions of the train. That 2008 ridership (actually 554,266) was up from 437,191 in 2004. The equipment, service and marketing enhancements commenced in 2005. The same article cites Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari t...

As always, the Northern C was one of the toughest divisions in 8-Man football again. Yes, the 2019 season, led by Class C semifinalists Fort Benton and Great Falls Central, was once again an exciting one. And because the conference is so tough, it's no surprise that the All-Conference Teams were littered with outstanding players. Of the Northern C players to be named Class C All-State this season, six hailed from the Hi-Line and five of those played for the Longhorns. Fort Ben...

When you think about the picture-perfect holiday season, you probably picture something like cozy layers and nights sitting next to the fire; red cups from Starbucks; holiday music in all the stores; and the family and pets gathered around watching Hallmark movies. You remember heartfelt acts of service and look forward to frosted sugar cookies and the glow of your tree. But if you’re like most—the holidays also mean burgeoning to-do lists, a watchful eye on your bank account, and higher-than-normal stress levels. You mig...
Out our way, some of the best places are the hardest to find and the most difficult to get to. I have often pitied the folk driving along the lonesome Highway 2 so intent on going somewhere else they don't see what lies all around them. A quick glance at open prairie and a few small towns and they dismiss it all saying, "There's nothing here." They've never seen the moon rise over the Sweetgrass - or the incredible rock formations that lie between distant hills. They haven't...
You know, Lord, it's that time of year again; it is time for us to be thankful. We are so busy doing whatever that we just take so many things for granted, so a day has been set aside so that all of us can be thankful. We perhaps should take a moment to list a few of the things that You do for us and give to us: Listing just a few, we think about such things as our life, health, food, shelter, jobs, family, friends; generally, these things are just taken for granted, they aren...
