Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks made a difficult decision on Tuesday, but, given the continued rise in COVID-19 cases, and to protect the small gateway communities in the areas, it was the right call no doubt. The decision to close Yellowstone, the world's first national park, and neighboring Grand Teton came after pressure from state and local officials. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon were especially vocal about the need to close Yellowston...

Continued discussion of beaver trapping in Beaver Creek Park sparked disagreement among members of the Hill County Park Board, who met Monday in the Hill County Court House. Discussion of the subject began when park board member Renelle Braaten said Dave Pauli, a senior advisor with the Humane Society of the United States, whom she had brought to a board meeting last year, wanted to come back to Beaver Creek Park with a team and evaluate the area so that they could make recommendations on alternative methods of beaver...
The Hill County Park Board heard updates on several issues at its monthly meeting Monday in the Hill County Courthouse. There have been no developments regarding the folf course, and no new sponsors have been found, Beaver Creek Park Superintendent Chad Edgar said. Assistant to the park superintendent Aubrey Williams presented the board with three reports of cabins in Beaver Creek Park that were deemed deficient. Based on the notes in the reports though she said there were a few more. Those cabins will need to be repaired by...

As you may have read in the paper, as a park board member, I have brought up to the Hill County Park Board that maybe we can look at other options besides trapping for beaver control in the park. What brought this on is that we had lost our trapper — we have been using trappers for approximately 70 years — so we needed to do something. Of course, the first thought of the board was to “find another trapper.” I suggested that maybe this would be a good time to look at other alternatives, which it appears there are quite a...

Editor, HGTV is taking nominations to “spruce up” a small town at no charge to the town. I think Havre could be a strong contender. We are located in the “Last Best Place.” Many people have heard about Montana but never visited and are curious about it. We have a lot to offer. There are several historic buildings i.e. Masonic building, old U.S. post office, the original F.A. Buttrey home, the beautiful “castle” home on Second Street to mention just a few. We are an economically depressed area with few industries to attract...
