Over the last decade, the Havre High girls basketball team has won as consistently as just about any team in Class A and with another talented team in tow for head coach Dustin Kraske, that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon. The Blue Ponies have made the Class A state tournament 10 times in the last 11 years and have qualified in each of the past six seasons. Havre even won its second Class A state championship back in 2014. However, even though Havre has been among...
Montana Actors' Theatre is continuing its annual holiday tradition of putting on silly, interactive panto plays, this year with "Robin Hood." "It's just ridiculous fun," MAT Artistic Director Jay Pyette said Wednesday. "You got Martin Holt in a dress. What else do you need?"

Dear Editor, As executive director of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank, once again, the business community in Havre.

Editor, You’ve probably read that President Trump has slashed the size of the Bears Ears National Monument by 85 percent, and has shrunk the Grand Staircase-Escalante monument to half its size. Conservation groups and Native American tribes are filing suit to stop this unprecedented attack on public lands. The outcome of this is critically important to the people of north-central Montana.
