By Emily Mayer Aside from articles pertaining to the effects the war was having on various businesses and activities, there were a few articles of local interest. Two local railroad unions selected their officers, and since there are still family members in this community as well as people living outside of the Havre area that read this column and are family of the men named, I thought you would like to read their names and what they were elected by their peers to serve: MEMBERS OF RAILWAY TRAINMEN ELECT OFFICERS The local...
It has been 30 years since the last time our nation’s tax code has been overhauled. In that time, the tax rate we levy on businesses has become one of the highest in the world, the tax code itself has become an incomprehensible mess, and special interests have drilled it full of loopholes that benefit narrow constituencies. The only bright spot is that bipartisan support to reform the tax code is at an all-time high right now. According to one recent poll, 81 percent of Americans say tax reform should be among the top p...
With the partisan divide appearing wider than ever, Sen. Jon Tester is working to rise above it all by joining his colleagues to release a common-sense regulatory reform package focused on making a better environment for small Main Street financial institutions like credit unions. Sen. Tester should be commended for ignoring party labels and putting together a piece of legislation that would give consumers better access to mortgages and other products, while freeing up credit union small business capital that can immediately...
Editor, With a final deadline coming very soon and a final payment disbursement of the remaining Pembima Monies, I hope it goes to The People and not stolen like our monies were by the corrupt tribal council here (at Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation) on the Cobell Pay out. We got $300 from an allocated $1,492 per capita. From that money, they gave themselves a $30,000 incentive raise. The mere fact that three councilmen refused taking it shows that it was immoral and not right or they would have taken it themselves. The t...
While basking in the afterglow of too much Thanksgiving, rushing into pre-Christmas sale-ing and joining in the holiday season openers, we should all take a moment to send good thoughts to Mike Hughes, a 61-year-old southern California limo driver and nascent astronaut whose maiden voyage toward outer space is planned for this weekend. Hughes has spent about $20,000 building a rocket — and launch pad made from a mobile home — to take him into space, and this weekend’s pilot...

You know, Lord, friends were commenting about their home. Some thought that they had the best home life ever, while some thought “hummm — whatever.” After some consideration, they thought they’d try to make where they were now a better place. We’ve got to give them credit for that! We all know that the basic unit of any society is the home. We are saddened when we know about a home breaking up; we know that society is on the way to disintegration. We also know of homes that are almost on the rocks. It’s scary. Many couple...
Out our way, it's time to dust off the reindeer antler hat I bought Goliath years ago to celebrate the season. Lord, how he hates those things, but I told him that over at Walmart a lot of my fellow associates wear them with pride. Well, we will never agree on that item, but we do agree on another symbol of the season that is popping up all over town and that is the red bucket and dedicated folks ringing bells for the Salvation Army. Even Goliath was willing to brave a terribl...

It was the first ever state championship in football for the Wildkats, who have a...
