    Dane McGuire|Updated Apr 16, 2021

  • View from the North 40: Animals sing the songs of their people

    Pam Burke|Updated Apr 16, 2021

    We all have a voice, and for good, bad or weird animals do too. NPR’s Madeline Sofia talked March 25 to U.S. Department of Agriculture entomologist Sammy Ramsey about cicadas because the annual cicada hatch is coming up soon, and this should be a big year — a big, noisy year, even for the notoriously noisy insect. Cicadas, Ramsey said, come in 23 different broods, or types, that hatch every 13 or 17 years, depending on the particular type of cicada. Brood X, which stands for...

  • HHS track teams face a good field at Lewistown Invite

    Kason Clark|Updated Apr 16, 2021

    The Havre High track and field teams competed hard at last weekend’s Lions Havre Invite. And most teams would be jealous of their finish considering the boys team finished third and the girls team finished fifth out of 22 schools. Before that, both Blue Pony teams finished second in every meet. Now, the Ponies try to reach those heights again as they head on the road for the Fergus Invitational in Lewistown this Saturday. “Excited to see us go out and compete at a high lev...

    Updated Apr 16, 2021

    Out our way, as I have often shared with you, it is easy for the greenhorn to get turned around and lost in the Big Open. More than once, riding fence or checking the herd up on Tiger Ridge, I lost all sense of direction. More than once I wondered if Charlie really knew where we were, where we were going, or how to get there. Well, of course he did, and by faith I rode along as he guided us ... and, sure enough, at the end of the day, we rode over a ridge, saw the gate and spo...

  • Pastor's Corner: Thoughts, prayers must become action

    Updated Apr 16, 2021

    Thoughts and prayers have abounded in recent weeks as shootings and a car attack have made headlines across this country. I try to include the names of victims of such tragic acts at the following Sunday's worship services. As the latest stream of violence began, I could keep up with the lists from Georgia and Colorado. But then I became too occupied with other things to capture and write down the names of the U.S. Capitol Police officer intentionally rammed and killed, the...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Apr 16, 2021

    You know, Lord, this was an interesting find; reading about someone who dreamed they were receiving a bouquet of flowers from God. A little girl, long ago, shared that she had received a beautiful bouquet of tiny little flowers in her dream. The only thing that she could think of was that she had helped a man who was having hard time with some bad people. She told them it was not nice to treat the poor man that way and that they should stop doing it - right way. The man...
