While the rest of February will be fairly quiet, Montana Actors’ Theatre has a full docket in 2022, with play after play scheduled for production in addition to their annual activities and events. The first of these plays is “The Harvest,” written by MAT’s own Executive Director Jay Pyette. MAT Artistic Director Grant Olson said Pyette’s play, opening March 4, is the story of a family gone their separate ways in life, being brought together from across the U.S. to help run their father’s farm after he falls ill enough that...
Editor, I read the Tuesday, Feb. 8, Havre Daily News article covering the Hill County Park Board meeting. The presentation on adding a new loop trail on the Bear Paw Nature Trail near Brough Coulee was exciting. The development of the Nature Trail was a cooperative effort between the Hill County Conservation District, Beaver Creek Park Board, Hill County Commissioners and Havre Lions Club to enhance the outdoor experience in Beaver Creek Park. That trail is used year around and enjoyed by many. I now write this letter because...

At its monthly meeting Monday night the Hill County Park Board heard a request from Debbie and Ray Kallenberger that they be given access to grazing land they allege was improperly given to area grazers when they were given no chance to apply to use. Debbie Kallenberger said in 2009 her family sold the cattle they had grazing on the park after a cancer diagnosis, and they requested that the board’s grazing committee let them keep the lease but let someone else use it. Kallenberger said the committee allowed this, but after t...
Havre, the Hi-Line, Montana, it never fails to deliver memorable sports moments. And 2021 was no different.

The lodge in Beaver Creek Park is in need of updating and it will take funding beyond what is available in normal financial operation of the Park. There are ongoing efforts to find and secure grants for the needed updates. Grants are not the only way to raise the necessary funds. Anyone with a mailing address or phone number is regularly solicited for money for any number of purposes. However, many of these are not invested in our local area. I can’t help but believe there are 10’s of thousands of dollars flowing out of thi...
Beaver Creek Park is looking for letters of support to help get a grant to pay for a badly needed stabilization and remodeling project on the Beaver Creek Park Beaver Lodge at Camp Kiwanis. Park Superintendent Chad Edgar said the lodge's walls are shifting and sagging, and while recent repairs will allow them to operate for a few more seasons, this is a problem in need of a long-term solution, one that will have a large bill, possibly more than $250,000. Edgar said this proble...
Our Beaver Creek Park was established and acquired for recreation and a park; it was not acquired to benefit commercial and private interests. We need to keep this in mind for current and future times and constantly balance how we develop and use our park. To help maintain a present day focus on the future long run ecological/economic/sustainable/regenerative aspects of the park without prejudice, it behooves the Hill County citizens that own our Beaver Creek Park to organize and advocate on behalf of our park for the...
