Before there was a Havre Area Chamber of Commerce, more than 108 years ago, there was a business community. The Chamber, Executive Director Debbie Vandeberg said, was formed because "a bunch of Havre founding fathers felt they needed to organize business." Former official and community volunteer Toni Hagener writes: "The community of Havre had a chamber of commerce philosophy before the city was ever incorporated in 1893. "So business minded were the early businessmen that...
The Fort Belknap Indian Reservation’s second annual Meth Symposium which had been scheduled for today has been postponed. Miranda Crasco Kirk, a founder of the Aaniiih Nakoda Anti-Drug Movement, said in a Facebook message Thursday night that the event has been rescheduled. The change was made because some tribal leaders had other pressing engagements and couldn’t make it to the symposium. Kirk said she and another organizer felt it was important that those leaders be at the event, so they rescheduled it to a time that fit...
The Havre Salvation Army has started a reintegration pilot program with a focus on faith for addicts in trouble with the law.

You know, Lord, here it is, a new year, a clean month, a new calendar, a bright new day, Thank You, Lord. William A. Quayle, in his book, “God’s Calendar,” has some fascinating musing about months.

God should have named the months — He is so much the Poet. Nonetheless, the Greeks, because of Poetry, did pick names. January is named for JANUA,...
One of my favorite New Testament stories is found in the Gospel of John. In chapter 4 of that book, the Apostle John records the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. It is special to me for several reasons. First, it was Jesus’ first ministry outreach to someone outside of the Jewish community. Secondly, in this His first evangelical outreach he spoke to a Samaritan woman, which punches holes in any argument that Jesus was a in any way racially prejudice or gender biased. But to me, the most meaningful part of this s...
Mark 11: 7 - 11 Out our way, we don't expect cows to be overly smart. I knew a rancher who had a prairie fire take out a large part of his summer pasture. He had to move his herd back down to the winter pasture. But the pasture had not yet had time to fully recover and was in danger of being badly overgrazed, so he loaded up his pickup and took extra hay and feed out to the livestock. Before long, the cattle got the idea that a truck meant food and would start following the pi...

But before the S...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights opened Frontier Conference play with a huge road sweep back in December. Winning one on the road in the league is hard enough, let alone two in a row.
