For more than 30 years, the Havre City-County Airport has been paying power bills for nonexistent services, airport and city officials say. Airport manager Tony Dolphay discovered about six months ago that the airport has been paying NorthWestern Energy, formerly Montana Power Co., electric bills for 163 unmetered runway lights that don’t exist. A 1985 lighting project converted the runway lights from unmetered to metered. The runway lights bill went from a consistent flat rate to a metered rate — electricity was now cha...

Not many people think of including the airport in a list of public transportation infrastructure. Fewer still would think of changing their retirement plans to help revitalize that service, but that is exactly what pilots Roger Lincoln and Tony Dolphay did in Havre. It's a typical Saturday morning at Havre City-County Airport and a crowd of pilots from around the area are trickling in to the fixed base operation - the airport equivalent of a gas station, called an FBO. Tony...

We in the newspaper business often spend our time covering the dark side of society — the fires, arrests and political corruption. But we also spend a lot of time dealing with some really great people. Many are the people who stay in the background because that’s the way they want it. They volunteer in the community, they go the extra mile, they help people when no one is watching. They are the last ones to want to be mentioned in the newspaper. As we look back at 2014, we reflect on just some of these people we worked wit...

Of course, almost 200 children are enriched in after-school activities at the club daily thanks to the generosity of the com...

The Hill County Commission is sending a request to voters in November for a tax to pay for work at the Havre City-County Airport. Commissioner Jeff LaVoi, who sits on the airport board, said the tax would pay for Federal Aviation Administration-mandated work on the runway and for repairs and maintenance. If the runway work is not done, it could affect federal funding and having a commercial airline fly to and from the airport, now provided by the Essential Air...
