As an example of the first of these, I give you the Eurasian...

Editor, A great big “Thank You” goes out to Coach Souers, Coach O’Brien, Coach Broussard, and the entire Montana State University-Northern football team for their help moving the large dioramas and display cases for the H.

One hopeful sign for the future of the American experiment is the fact that a lot of people are actually coming up with better government ideas. Last year, Alaska adopted a suite of electoral reforms, including open primaries, and ranked choice, final four voting. Similar plans, at local and state level, are in the works elsewhere around the country. No doubt change is wanted. On a good day the congressional approval rating rises to 20 percent. Congressional accomplishments? We can always count on Congress to vote more money...
Out our way, a lot of people grew up with horses and learned to ride at a young age. For others, riding is something learned later in life - and often not well. I was raised in the Chicago suburbs and horses were only seen in parades and on TV or the movies. It looked easy enough - until I actually tried to do it for real. In the church I served in Wyoming, the junior college in the big town down the road offered a riding course to be held at an area ranch. I signed up. Based...

Here in Havre we observe the National Day of Prayer by meeting in the town square. We start the observance with worship music from 11:30 a.m. to noon. The actual observance starts at noon.

You know, Lord, curious things happen, now and then. A friend said that she and her hubby had started a Gratitude Book: Every day they would/could write one thing for which they were thankful for. She gave a few examples as we just looked at her, Like, really? She smiled and said, "How about you. Just look out your window and thank God for the gifts He has given you/us." Then she named her shed, butterflies, streaks of lightning. We laughed then thought, why not? Once home,...
