  • Universities react to Supreme Court ruling ending affirmative action

    Patrick Johnston|Updated Jul 12, 2023

    Universities across the U.S., including in Montana and Havre, are still grappling with and reacting to the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling, effectively banning affirmative action in college admissions across the U.S. Many universities in Montana have said the ruling will not affect them on a practical level because they almost never have a situation in which they have to limit enrollment in programs, so they are rarely ever in a situation where anything other than if a student qualifies academically i...

    Tim Leeds|Updated Jul 7, 2023

    Havre Area Chamber of Commerce is inviting people to shop, and sell, at this year’s Saturday Market, which starts Saturday in Havre’s Town Square. “It is time to start thinking about the market,” a release from the Chamber said. “Many are already tending to their gardens for that great local produce, crafters are readying their inventory and bakers are checking their supplies for the preparation of those great home baked treats.” The market has become a tradition, with the Chamber organizing the market in which people can sel...

  • Looking out my Backdoor: It must have been something I ate

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Jul 7, 2023

    It seemed like it all happened at once. The heat broke. The rains came. And I spent the night hunched over the commode. It is a wonderful thing when the heat breaks, more-so this year as we sweltered under an unrelenting heat bubble. When the rains come, immediately the temperatures drop, 20 degrees this year. Plants of all species lift their heads and drink largely. Birds lift their beaks in the happiest of songs. Bugs of all descriptions line up outside my door, hoping for e...

  • Pay more … What for?

    Updated Jul 7, 2023

    Less government and lower taxes!! You hear that political slogan from Republican candidates early and often while they are campaigning. Then comes political reality. How did the largest percentage of Republicans elected in Montana history grow government at the fastest rate in state history — and at the same time raise property taxes on your home? During the pandemic years, the Trump and Biden administrations poured federal funds into states to prop up slowing economies. Funds went directly to state governments and into b...

  • Out Our Way: Of trails and fences - Isaiah 30 :21

    Updated Jul 7, 2023

    "This is the way. Walk in it!" Out our way, the open range is pretty much a thing of the past. Most cattle operations have fenced-in grazing lands and well-worn cattle trails. I can only guess how disappointing the modern realities are to greenhorns who want to see the "old West" Louie L'Amour wrote about. Some of us old timers are equally sad that the old days are gone and regret we never got to live them. Check out "This is the Last Cowboy Song" on Google. I imagine a...

  • Pastor's Corner: What does it really say?

    Updated Jul 7, 2023

    This July Fourth, between good food and glittering fireworks, perhaps a lot of us thought about what we appreciate about our country. One answer came pretty quickly: I am grateful that we are a nation that allows for freedom of religion - not always perfectly, but we try. To me, this freedom is more than just a synagogue sharing a city block with a church. It means that even fellow Christians cannot dictate to me how I am supposed to follow Christ. Given the many expressions...

    You know, Lord, we all love happiness. How about a family get-together; sharing some happy moments, that was fun! "Oh, it's delightful to see you here - let's have some 'happy moments,' eh?" Elly laughed. Lady #1: "Well, as old as we are, I'd say that we have a happy marriage, peace and a nice home." The group agreed, the next gal spoke, "I'll tell you about two neighbor girls. I'd never seen twirling, cartwheels, as those two girls did! They're probably in middle school. They...

  • Grief Poem - Don't Grieve

    Updated Jul 7, 2023

    Two more dear folks flew off to You - they heard YOU call them home. They worked real to do Your will - but no more Earth they'll roam. 'We're born to die'(1) the Good Book says, we're here to DO some work! 'Freewill' we have, turn left or right - just hope we're NOT a jerk! Well, these two folks who flew away, they worked real hard each day! There wasn't much they couldn't DO, and they knew how to pray. Twenty plus, 'TIMES' are listed there; season for everything!
