Dear editor, During the 2019 Legislature, Gov. Steve Bullock, legislators and Montanans across the Treasure State worked tirelessly to keep history alive in a variety of ways. Senate Bill 338, also known as the Montana Museums Act, is best known for providing a portion of the funds to build the new Montana Heritage Center. But the legislation also creates an ongoing historic preservation grant program for counties, incorporated cities or towns, tribal governments, associations and incorporated non-profit groups. Feb. 28 is...
Dear editor: I hope many noticed the small holiday wreaths that were attached to the downtown stop signs this past Christmas season. I first noticed them when at the intersection of Third Street and Third Avenue. They made me smile. What a fun touch to downtown. The elves that organized the project — as I understand: Kimmi Boyce and Tera Verploegen — truly added a holiday touch on our town. Thank you! Also, thank you to the businesses that filled their empty flower planters with evergreen trees adored with red ribbons and...
I don’t mean to sound paranoid, but the United Nations has set out to ruin my entire year, and they’re pretending that they’re doing it for my well-being. Their website says that the United Nations General Assembly declared 2020 to be the International Year of Plant Health. I’m not making this up. They are. They said they’re doing this “to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment and boost economic de...

The end of January is already here and some of the winter sports are wrapping up the season. One of those sports is swimming, and the Havre High swim team will travel to the state meet Feb. 14-15 in Great Falls. The Blue Pony swimmers have had a lot of time in the Great Falls High School Pool this season, and their time in the Electric City is not over, as Havre will head to Great Falls once more before state. Saturday, the Ponies will be doing things a bit different, though....
Sometimes, it's not how you start, but how you finish. And while the Havre High girls basketball team got off to a terrible start in Great Falls, the Blue Ponies sure did finish. Thursday night in the CMR Fieldhouse, the Pony girls mounted a huge comeback, beating the Class AA Rustlers 45-39, for what was their 10th straight win. Havre overcame as much as a 15-point deficit, and a rough shooting first half, by outscoring the Rustlers 18-4 in the fourth quarter to tie the game...
The first half of the Frontier Conference men's basketball season is over, and it's been a tumultuous one for the Montana State University-Northern Lights, who have lost ground in the league standings of late.

Given the Lights have four...
There will be close losses in a season and the Havre High boys basketball team has seen some of that heartbreak on the court, most often on the road. But Thursday night, the Blue Ponies experienced a close loss at home. Havre faced off against the CMR Rustlers Thursday night in the Havre High Gymnasium, where the Ponies fell in a tough battle with the Rustlers, 49-47. But, despite the loss, the Havre boys never quit fighting throughout the game. And that was something HHS...
After two ridiculously hard games last week in the Armory Gymnasium, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights, who finished the week with just seven players, needed a rest. And while the Skylights are still dealing with injury problems, they should be rested and ready for their last two home games until late February. Tonight, No. 18 Northern (4-4, 15-5) starts a critical Frontier Conference home stand against No. 21 Lewis-Clark State (5-3, 13-5) at 6 inside the Armory...
You know, Lord, the Bible states that God knows our purpose on this earth before we were ever born. In this age of options, opportunities, choices, and more, You Lord, or all creation, made us for a specific purpose and reason, so, in one sense, we can't be just anything that we want to be. Now that is "food for thought" right? We were formed and set apart for You. Part of our journey here on this earth is not to create our destiny, but to discover it. As we choose to connect...
Out our way, the only cowboys carrying guns tend to be kids playing dress up. I remember playing "cowboy" as a kid and I also had a toy pistol - a " Fanner Fifty" - just like the pistols the TV and Hollywood cowboys carried. But when I finally met Charlie and started to learn to cowboy, I never saw any real cowboys actually carrying a pistol except for "balloon busting." Sometime after I started riding on a regular basis with Charlie, I discovered a sport in Montana in which...
Most of the time, I do not check my mail more than once a week because, it is just cluttered with boring bills and junk mail. But nothing matches my excitement when I get a personal letter from a friend or family member or congregant! I think letter writing and sending is becoming a lost art, but think for a moment of all the occasions for which we send cards and letters — the holidays, thank yous, birthdays, anniversaries, new births, deaths, encouragement, transitions, such as graduations and retirements. In those m...
