The family resided on a wheat and cattle ranch approximately 50 miles north of Havre. He attended Cottonwood Country School and later moved to Havre to complete his education at Havre High School and Northern Montana College....
A Gildford trapper is calling for the ouster of Montana Political Practices Commissioner Jonathan Motl for his handling of a case involving a proposal to ban trapping on Montana public lands. Jim Buell of the Montana Trappers Association and treasurer of its ballot initiative committee, Montanans for Effective Wildlife Management, told the Havre Daily News Wednesday that he has signed a notarized complaint against Motl. He said the paperwork initiating the complaint will be filed by his attorney with the commissioner this...
People were dressed as Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus, elves and reindeer. There even was someone in a Christmas tree costume who was a walking billboard in favor of using artificial Christmas trees. And, along the way, there was a running race. It was the second annual Santa Run in downtown Havre. It was 21 degrees out Saturday afternoon. That was about 40 degrees warmer than a year ago, some of the veterans of the race pointed out. And the winds were more calm this year. Th...
A record crowd filled the main room of the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line on Saturday night for the annual Festival of the Trees. This year's celebration - the eighth in the club's history - was entitled "Home for the Holidays." Because of the success of past festivals, the club was recently able to make an addition to its 1st Street building for a massive all-purpose room large enough for the crowd of 260 people at the event. Two-hundred-sixty tickets were printed. They...
Santa Claus had a hard time getting to the annual lighting of the Christmas tree at Town Square Saturday night, but he made it through in fine fashion to treat Havre area youngsters. "It was terrible," Santa told the crowd as he showed up at the gazebo at Town Square. "I hit a thick cloud," he told the youngsters. "It was so bad I had to get out and push the sleigh." The children laughed in delight. Santa's arrival was the highlight of the annual ceremony welcoming the Christm...
The last float of the annual Parade of Lights and Christmas Stroll had just rode out of sight and people from both sides of Main Street hasted back into the Chinook Eagles bar, where the temperature was above freezing. Sandra Miller, a seasoned rancher, was nursing a glass of red wine at a high top she shared with her daughter and granddaughter. A young family of three - the baby was bundled up in a stroller - were pressing through the crowd on their way toward the exit door....

Angela McLean is leaving her position to become the director of American Indian and Minority Achievement K-12 Partnerships at the state Office of Commissioner of Higher Education, Gov.

Editor: I haven’t seen the crap piled so high since our ranch had a feedlot back in the ’70s. NorthWestern Energy recently commissioned a report by the University of Montana’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research to sue the EPA over its Clean Power Plan. Almost every page of the report is littered with false assumptions, twisted logic and anti-environmental delusion. Contrary to everything Gov. Steve Bullock has said he would do, the NorthWestern report assumes that his Clean Power Plan will cause all the Colstrip units...
Editor: I don't understand the decision of the Montana State University athletic director. As a football coach and a high school science teacher for 28 years, I have seen a lot of ignorant things in football, but he may have just won the grand prize. Coach Rob Ash was hired when the team was in dire straits from the activities of the staff and players that had come to light. This man turned the program into a class act while maintaining a playoff level of play so fast I was truly amazed. He has brought such credibility and...
Melinda Barnes Winter has arrived, and with that comes snow. Most Montana communities have some kind of ordinance requiring snow removal from sidewalks, typically requiring the property owner or tenant to remove snow within a certain amount of time. Even though not required, property owners may begin clearing the sidewalks before the snowfall stops or even on the same day, and in fact that is a nice thing to do. Consider this: what would happen if roads were not plowed until after the snow stopped and 12 inches accumulated?...

The schedule makers of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League did no favors to the Glacier Nationals this past weekend, as the team had to take on Frontier Division powers Great Falls and Helena on back-to-back nights. The Nationals hosted Great Falls Friday night at the Havre Ice Dome and lost a competitive game 5-2. Then they traveled to Helena Saturday, where they were defeated 8-1 by the Big Horns, extending their winless streak to double digits at 10 games. Glacier is...
Montana State University-Northern head women’s basketball coach Chris Mouat knew his three-game stretch of Dickinson State at home, Wayland Baptist in Great Falls and a return trip to Dickinson State was going to be brutally difficult. But, thanks to an absolutely gutsy performance by his Skylights Saturday night in Dickinson, North Dakota, the Skylights emerged from that brutal stretch with a still-perfect record. Northern’s latest win came via a 61-58 thriller over the mig...
MISSOULA (AP) — There was no miracle comeback this time. Montana didn't need one, and South Dakota State couldn't pull one off. Brady Gustafson threw for two first-half touchdowns and the Montana Grizzlies beat comeback-minded South Dakota State 24-17 in a Football Championship Subdivision first-round playoff game Saturday. Gustafson threw for 202 yards to spark the No. 16 Grizzlies (8-4) to a 24-0 halftime lead in front of 14,575 frigid fans at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. H...
The Havre High football team may not have won the Class A state championship this season, but that doesn't change the fact that the Blue Ponies had a successful campaign and won their first Central A conference championship since 2011. HHS rolled through conference play and posted a perfect 4-0 record on its way to an overall mark of 8-3. The Ponies didn't finish the way they wanted to, losing 43-8 to Dillon in the Class A semifinals. But, when the 2015 Central A...
It was a tough year for the Montana State University-Northern Lights on the football field, as Northern failed to win a game in 11 tries this fall. However, the Lights weren’t devoid of star power, and it showed on the 2015 Frontier All-Conference Team. The league announced its postseason honors last Wednesday night, and three Lights were named to the All-Conference list. Northern junior defensive end Tyler Craig received First-Team Defense honors, while junior running back Z...
