Crammed In between was food, songs, crafts, games and hot wheels with models spanning almost 100 years of production.

Next week is National Mosquito Control Awareness Week, and Hill County Mosquito District Supervisor Terry Turner said it is an appropriate time to warn people about West Nile virus. "We've had cases in Havre," Turner said Thursday. "Last time we had a case of West Nile in Hill County was last year." West Nile arrived on U.S. shores in 2002, Turner said, right about the time people began to talk about and plan the HIll County Mosquito District that was passed by voters in...
From Northern Montana Health Care Volunteerism is defined as the policy or practice of volunteering one's time or talents for charitable, educational, or other worthwhile activities, especially in one's community. While the definition states that the act is considered to benefit others, it may ultimately be a great benefit to the individual as well. Studies have shown that volunteering is renowned for skill development and is often intended to promote goodness or to improve...

In the last few months there have been several emotional editorials concerning the Montana State Lighted Airway Beacon System. Unfortunately, the reality of the facts seems to have gotten lost in the emotional clutter. I am sure that almost everyone will agree that the very first responsibility of government is public safety. Whether it’s the federal government, the state government or the municipal government, public safety and protection is their first priority. In 2017, there has been considerable controversy over w...
The job of the Havre Daily News is to report to its readers what happens — fun, pleasant and exciting but also unpleasant, disturbing and upsetting. The paper tries to get the information to its readers as effectively as it can, including using social media. Earlier this week, a vehicle crashed through the wall of a local casino. The driver was taken to the hospital, where he died. The Havre Daily posted a photo a notice on Facebook and filed a story and photo on its website. A family member raised two complaints — first, fin...
A modern expression warns that “a boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.” I like that and the format applies to many of our specialty splurges. A monster truck is a hole in the mud you throw money into. See what I did there? A craft room full of fabric is a hole in a quilt you sew money into. There I added a new twist. But truth is truth and found even in my own hobby. A horse is a hole in a corral you throw money into. But this is not the whole truth. Not for...

You know, Lord, it’s summer! What a glorious, bright morning has dawned, after a bit of rain. With the sun shining in so brightly, it’s time for the sunshine test! The whole scene out the window looks scrubbed and clean. Why, even the few clouds look fluffy and white and freshly washed. The sun shines brightly through the windows, but those windows just barely pass the test! They were sparkling clean yesterday except for right around the edges. But now? So, we look at the floor and cupboards, they also almost pass the tes...
Karrie and I have two toy poodles. We have a thirteen-year-old black poodle named Gigi and a fourteen and a half year old white poodle named Murphy. Murphy came under our care after our neighbor suffered a brain injury and could no longer keep her dog. Murphy has been around our family for a number of years, but has only been officially adopted for three years following our neighbor’s death. Murphy had to learn how to assimilate into our family and get along with Gigi. He had to learn not to make messes inside our home. M...
"Before the harvest" Out our way we know that a good harvest doesn't just happen. It is not just luck or coincidence that the crops are planted, grown and reaped when they are mature. Ask any farmers about the process and they will tell you it takes planning and hard work, and there is vastly more to it than just tossing seed onto the ground. Fields and equipment have to be prepared and maintained. The seed has to be planted at the right time and watched over until the crop...
By Teagan Wall When you look up at the night sky and see stars, what you're seeing is light produced by those stars many years ago. Because this is how we study the stars, it helps to know a few cool things about light. For example, light always travels at a constant speed, called the speed of light. It doesn't matter if the star giving off light is moving toward us, or away from us. This is different than most things. Think of riding a skateboard while throwing a baseball. If...
