Swimming at Havre High has always been a strong tradition. And that tradition won't change this winter, as the Blue Ponies get set to jump in the pool once again. And the Blue Ponies get to jump into their own waters to start the season, as the Havre Invitational will be held Saturday at the Havre Community Pool. Havre High is led by second-year head coach Bill Kilgore, and the Pony boys and girls are excited about the upcoming season, after the Havre girls finished third in...
Box Elder third-grade teacher Joyce Donoven had no idea one student would single-handedly carry the Bobcats to victory when she initiated a Cat-Griz canned food gathering contest. "I call her the little cat that could," Donoven said of 9-year-old Aarianna Henry. This was the first year Donoven had her third-graders partake in the canned-food charity contest. The main purpose was for students to learn about and apply themselves to community service, Donoven said. The canned...

UM Staff Reports If you could be dean for a day, what would you do? University of Montana College of Business senior Nikki Gabrielsen got to answer that question Nov. 29, when the winner of the college's second annual Dean for a Day competition swapped roles with Sprunk and Burnham Endowed Dean Chris Shook. "It was the most incredible experience," Havre High School graduate Gabrielsen said. "I learned so much." Dean Gabrielsen's day as leader began with staff introductions...
Remember when perfectly groomed, makeup-wearing men in stylish clothes looked like women but somehow claimed they were men — not just pretty males, but actual men — and the world called them metrosexual? Which still didn’t sound manly, by the way, but people in the style industry didn’t understand the difference so it was OK — for far too long. Then one day some fashion-forward style guru saw a guy who looked like a useful man and said, “Ohmigawd, I can do that. I can make th...
In 1977, President Carter signed a law that required the U.S. Forest Service to study 973,000 acres in Montana to determine if they were suitable for wilderness. The findings were to be reported in five years and Congress was to take action afterward. The Forest Service completed the study and determined that several of the study areas in Montana were not suitable for wilderness in its final plan. Thirty-five years later, we’re still waiting for D.C. to get its job done and release the study areas. I’ve introduced the Pro...

At a time when the rural landscape is losing more and more of its agricultural icons Havre/Hill County Historic Preservation Commission is honoring the H. Earl Clack Co. and Centennial Mills elevators - Havre's old, corrugated steal-sided grain elevators - as the subject of its limited-edition Christmas ornaments this year.

Out our way, we have a phrase, "Cowboy Up." When I got tossed by Goliath, sprained some ribs, not to mention had the wind knocked out of me, getting back up on my feet and then stepping back up into the saddle seemed a pretty hard thing to do. But sometimes you have to "cowboy up" and just overcome the fear and dread. Now, Goliath is a pretty big fellow, 16 1/2 hands and weighing at 1200-plus pounds. Yet, as many of you know, that little black culvert up there on the nature tr...
You know, Lord, as we rush about, this article seemed timely. Ruth C. Ikerman wrote this many years ago, entitled, “Do What You Don’t Have to Do.” “A friend who thoroughly enjoys each new Christmas season once told me in a moment of fellowship that rich secret of her perennial enjoyment, “Do what you have to do for Christmas first of all and get it out of the way. Then you can do what you don’t have to do. Therein lies the real meaning of Christmas, and it provides fun for all the year.” Her philosophy explained how...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights will finish the month of December with a flurry of duals and one big tournament. On Saturday, the Lights will be in Idaho to take on North Idaho College, the No. 7 team in the NJCAA. The Lights will battle the Cardinals as the No. 13 team in the NAIA, according to the new NAIA Coaches Poll, which was released Wednesday. Northern dropped one spot in the new poll, even though the Lights swept their three duals at last weekend's Argo...
Last season, the Havre High boys basketball team had the luxury of opening the season at home in the Eastern A Tip-off Tournament. However, this time around, the Blue Ponies will have a long bus ride ahead of them before they will be able to play basketball. That's because the Havre boys will travel all the way to the eastern border of the state to take on Sidney and Glendive to kick off the 2017-18 season. Havre and Sidney will play tonight at 7 in the first game of the road...
Last Saturday night, the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team suffered a gut-wrenching loss to nationally ranked Carroll College. So it would have been easy for the Lights to have some ill effects from it when they took the floor to play Yellowstone Christian College. But Northern showed no signs of being down in what turned into a 101-49 non-conference win over the Centurions Thursday night in the Armory Gymnasium. The win pushed Northern's overall record...
During his tenure as the head coach of the Havre High girls basketball team, Dustin Kraske has never cared much about non-conference games. But with a schedule that features very few league games, six of 18 to be exact, Kraske is going to have to start changing his tune. Last season, Havre and the rest of the Eastern A girls basketball teams met in Sidney, for the Eastern A Tip-off Tournament. But after one go around, the tip-off tournament was done away with. Now, Havre will...
