    Christy Bambrough|Updated Nov 24, 2023

    Havre Eagles Club will begin its Community Toy Drive today, helping helps families in need in the area. Candace Dess, manager of the Eagles Club, said the group wants to ensure that any family in need utilizes the options provided to the community. “The Toy Drive we set up in the back room, and all the toys will be put out,” she said. “Then we have appointments for a few days, about every 15 minutes. The parents come, and they are allowed so many gifts per kid. We give them some wrapping paper and they go home and wrap the g...

  • Looking out my Backdoor: Pardon my turkey

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Nov 24, 2023

    One of the many things I have come to respect about the Mexican culture, the Mexican people, is their ability to celebrate. Times may seem grim and the larder near empty, but they somehow will scrape together beans, tortillas, tomatoes and peppers, gather family and neighbors into their homes to share a feast, and maybe even shoot off a few fireworks, always with music in the background, even if from a radio. Remember radio? We, my friends, in our country, seem to have...

  • A Brawl of the Wild tradition: Let the bands play!

    Updated Nov 24, 2023

    Montanans just enjoyed the largest sporting event of the year, with more than 27,000 of us coming together in person to witness this year’s version of the Brawl of the Wild. The football game and intrastate rivalry between the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats is 122 years old and began only eight years after Montana obtained statehood in 1889. By any measure, this contest is so much more than just another game and has become an important part of the fabric of Montana. Our two flagship universities have been e...

  • Out Our Way: The stormcloud in the sunshine

    Updated Nov 24, 2023

    Psalm 97 Out our way, we sometimes refer to the vast prairies as "Big Sky" or "The Big Open." I recall some national radio personality once ridiculed Montana for those terms. "They have the same sky as everyone else." Then he came for a visit. Sometime later he published his script for all the states whose nicknames he had mocked. His reference to Montana had been left out. It is "Big Sky" and "The Big Open" out our way. I love Glacier and Yellowstone, have been many times on...

  • Pastor's Corner: The chase

    Updated Nov 24, 2023

    Today is the day of anticipation for shoppers; of high anticipation for retailers. It's a day of frenzy as shoppers chase after enticing sales, bargain hunters seek out the best deals, and merchants gratefully watch their bottom lines pull out of the red with each crack of the wallet or swipe of a card. Hence, this day has been colloquially named Black Friday. If you are reading this hot off the press, perhaps you were the early bird who hit those red-eye sales before the...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Nov 24, 2023

    You know, Lord, You give great kindnesses to us, reminding us of one of life's great realities. You not only deserve our love and worship, You also deserve our thankful hearts as everything that is good in life comes from You. We can read that in James 1:17: where it says: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. This verse reminds us that all good things come from...

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 24, 2023

    Nothing like spending some time on the beach. But, the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team’s trip to Hawaii this week was about basketball, too.
