Helen L. Kiesling This cannot be a death tale. It could only be a love story. Helen was next to the caboose in a train of six children (four girls, two boys) born in Spokane, Wash. As the youngest of her sisters, she wore hand-me-downs, including holey shoes that she learned to stuff with newspapers during Spokane winters. This was the depth of the Great Depression. Those threadbare clothes fit less and less well for a young lady who quickly grew to 6-feet tall in early high school. The resultant ungainliness reduced the...
Regarding the Nov. 25, Havre Daily News story headlined "Baucus asks businesses how to boost border trade:" Rick Dow Senator Baucus is chair of the Senate Finance Committee, which has sole jurisdiction on international trade and border protections.

Editor: As we recognize World AIDS Day on Thursday, we encourage all Montanans to join the global fight to prevent the spread of HIV and support people living with HIV/AIDS.

BILLING — Wildlife agencies in the Northern Rockies go to lengths to warn people of the dangers of grizzly country — from signs advising hikers to carry mace-like bear spray to radio ads that warn hunters to take care when stalking elk in bear habitat. But after two hikers were fatally mauled in Yellowstone National Park over the summer, officials acknowledge their drive to make visitors "bear aware" is not reaching everyone. As a result, park officials, bear biologists and others say that in coming months they plan to sha...

I know I have only covered the Havre High football team for three seasons now, but I have seen the in's and out's along side the ups and downs of three totally different squads now.

The National Security and Federal Lands Protection Act is co-sponsored by Rep. Denny Rehberg, and it is exactly the kind of Big Government Mon...
"I read the dictionary once. I thought it was a poem about everything." — Steven Wright, comedian. When my parents retired early, sold off most of their stuff and went on the road in their fifth-wheel trailer and pickup, I said fine, good riddance, but I want my inheritance now: The 6-inch thick tome of a dictionary that they'd had since I was a toddler. I have loved that book since my earliest memories. When I was too young to read, but asking my dad what words meant, he'd s...
