GREAT FALLS (AP) — The Chippewa Cree Tribe is being required to pay up front for work on a $361 million water project after several tribal officials and companies were convicted on corruption charges related to the project, according to a federal official and the head of the tribal corporation building the project. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation typically would release money annually for federally-funded projects such as the pipeline on Montana's Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation. That changed about eight months ago in r...
The Havre Salvation Army's Bonnie Bennett Memorial Kettle ring is in need of more volunteers. Bonnie was a 33-year volunteer who rang the Salvation Army bell at the north door of Gary & Leo's Fresh Foods. She died in October, and the Salvation Army has struggled to find people to ring the bell in her honor. While the Salvation Army has had some success, it is down $500 from where it was last year at this time, said Trina Crawford, executive director of The Salvation Army's Havre Service Center. This is largely because at...
C.M. Russell High School girls basketball game against Havre High was called off last weekend because a team member contracted pertussis or “whooping cough.” This prompted concern about the disease and whether it has spread to the Hi-Line.

Dance is different things to different people. To some, dance is pure joy of movement. To someone else, it is forbidden sin. Dance is exercise, artistic expression, communication, a route to seduction. Dance is children cavorting on the lawn in summer, cowboy jitterbug at the Elks Club on Saturday night, the senior prom, the formal ball, the shindig. It is the butterfly flitting flower to flower. For me, at this time and place in my life, dance is my doctor’s prescription. Don...

The Havre High swim teams got their first taste of regular season competition in the water last weekend. And the Blue Ponies did quite well at their own Havre Invitational. But, as the season goes on, things will get much more difficult, and the season goes on today as Havre participates in a meet in Great Falls. Today's meet, and Saturday's Great Falls Relays will close out the 2014 portion of Havre's schedule, and head coach Jill Cammon said it will be good for her teams to...

The Montana State University-Northern Lights haven’t played a game since a Nov. 22 loss to mighty College of Idaho, so when the Lights finally get back on the court tonight, Northern head coach Shawn Huse expects some rust. He also expects an even more difficult game than the one the Lights last played, when they lost 70-52 to the Yotes. In fact, all three games Northern plays at this weekend’s Arizona Christian Tournament in Phoenix will be rough — just as MSU-N’s road sc...

And Bills wants that head coaching job to be at Montana State University-Northern.
