Havre Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Julea Robbins asked the board for permission to hold a marathon beginning in Beaver Creek Park later this year.

Hill County Public Health Director Kim Larson said a good chance exists that the recent rescinding of statewide public health mandates by Gov. Greg Gianforte will result in a surge in cases, but couldn’t speak to its severity and encouraged everyone to continue to be careful not to spread the virus. Gianforte’s new mandate eliminated former Gov. Steve Bullocks requirement including on business capacity, that restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries and casinos close by 10 p.m. and that public gatherings be limited to 25...
Editor, A few weeks ago, Lou Hagener submitted to the paper a letter to the editor about the policies of the Hill County Park Board and Beaver Creek Park. His letter, published in Havre Daily News Tuesday, Dec. 22, was full of great information and something all Hill County residents should read and ponder. In that letter he mentioned that we need a consistent vision for Beaver Creek Park and we need to make it “workable and built on valid science, prudent natural resource management, specific infrastructure issues and s...
Beaver Creek Park Superintendent Chad Edgar said, in spite of all that happened, 2020 was a great year for Beaver Creek Park especially when it came to park permits. “We sold well over a record number of park permits last year,” Edgar said during a Hill County Park Board meeting Monday. “Despite everything... we survived quite well.” He said he suspected the park would get hit hard by a lack of use for Camp Kiwanis because of COVID-19 restrictions. But there was an unexpected number of events held there including wedding...

It was encouraging to hear that the Hill County Park Board is initiating a process to document a policy for trapping in our Beaver Creek Park. Hopefully this policy will address more than just lethal trapping of beavers and incorporate a whole park management perspective. It will be important to document a policy that is consistent with our vision for Beaver Creek Park while being workable and built on valid science, prudent natural resource management, specific infrastructure issues and sound business practices. Striking a...

The communities of Havre/Hill County are better than our current behavior reflect. I think an apt comparison to our current situation is to compare our response to the Bear Paw/Beaver Creek fires a couple of years ago. This was an emergency situation threatening our area. The response by the communities showed friends and neighbors doing whatever was necessary to save all from the inferno. Not all volunteers could drive a bulldozer or a firetruck, but everyone pitched in with food, drinks, equipment, water trucks, whatever....
Monday’s meeting of the Hill County Park Board, held online only, was plagued by technical issues and confusion among attendees, with members of the public barely able to hear members of the board and Zoom timing the meeting out before its adjournment.

Louise Cole was born January 28, 1927, in Glasgow, MT. She passed away November 18, 2020, in Missoula, MT. Her family and friends have lost her presence but not her wonderful example to live life fully. She made every effort to lean in and thrive. The early years of her long life were influenced by the great depression and the struggles that went with it. Perhaps that is the foundation of her attention to the needs of others. Her family was separated when work and income were...

The Hill County Park Board's meeting Monday evening did not have enough members for a quorum so no votes could be taken, but members present discussed progress on the construction of the south cross fence. Beaver Creek Park Superintendent Chad Edgar said the grazing committee chose a possible location for the fence at their last meeting, but he added that, upon examining the area in more detail, it is far from ideal. "It has a lot more topography than what we could see from a distance," he said, "A lot of deep cuts and a lot...
