Several news sources have reported in the past two weeks that Tennessee state Rep. Micah Van Huss, R-Jonesborough, has taken his stance against “fake news” all the way to his state’s Legislature, in the form of a resolution that’s kind of like an official motion to make his disgust the official state sentiment about two major news sources. Van Huss’ House Joint Resolution 779 officially is “a resolution to recognize CNN and The Washington Post as fake news and condemn the...

By Emily Mayer People were moving on to other pastures 100 years ago. The Hill County Democrat’s Feb. 5 and 12, 1920 editions carried the following news: AUDITOR HAS RESIGNED Earl Bronson, the popular auditor of Hill county, has resigned. Mr. Bronson on all hands for the efficient manner in which he has handled the affairs of that office. He will engage in business for himself and at present is engaged with a force of clerks in transcribing the records for Liberty county. He was for a number of years a deputy in the office o...
You know, Lord, sometimes friends share interesting things that they've found on the "net." Take for instance, a penny. Who'd have thought that there was a day to celebrate a Lost Penny, which is Feb. 12. And who among us has not lost a penny or two - let alone found a penny somewhere, even in the grocery store parking lot. That was a special time as the "box boy" was totally amazed when asked to pry it out of the frozen piece of ice. Did he ever smile when he heard: "See a...
I recently finished the devotional “God Wants You to Win!” by world-champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Much of the inspiration of the following thoughts and scriptures are from this book. 1 Corinthians 9:24-26: In a race, everyone runs but only one person gets the prize. So, run your race to win. To win the contest you must deny yourselves many things that would keep you from doing your best. An athlete goes to all this trouble just to win a blue ribbon or a silver cup, but we do it for a heavenly reward that never dis...
This time of year, around Valentine’s Day, our culture is saturated with talk about love. There is a pressure to “show” or even “prove” our love by giving gifts, sending notes, professing love. Love can, if we are not careful, start to become a commodity itself, something that can be given or taken away depending on the circumstances. And this “conditional love” can make us feel alone, afraid, and sad. The Bible has a lot to say about love: Love God. God is love. Be hopeful. God’s love will last forever. It is more abundant t...
Out our way we are blessed with what I call "The Big Open." Tourists driving through the area often see nothing but the highway. This is cattle country and while many farmers grow wheat and other crops, it is also a place of vast pastures and even some open range. Yet it is not totally flat. To the south are the Bear Paws - not as majestic as the Rockies, but inspiring nonetheless. And to the west are the incredible Sweetgrass Hills suddenly rising out of the plains. On some...
This is what the Blue Ponies have been working for. The Havre High swim team will hit the road one last time, heading to Great Falls once again for the biggest meet of the season.

There are often times where a team starts consistently winning and peaking at the right time in the season, and such is the case for the Havre High boys basketball team, who has not lost against a Class A opponent since late December. On top of that, the conference win over Sidney last week helped the Blue Ponies boost their record once again. But this weekend will bring its set of challenges. Tonight, Havre heads on the road to play the Browning Indians in Browning, a team th...
Winning back-to-back state championships places a lot of expectations on a team, which can be hard to live up to at times. But, the Havre High girls basketball team has lived up to those expectations and then some, this season proving again and again why the Ponies are the cream of the Class A crop. And, the Blue Ponies still have three regular season games left before they go on the quest for a three-peat. This weekend will see Havre play two games at home, starting with the...
