  • Hi-Line Living: The Faces of Tourism in Havre, MT

    Alex Ross|Updated May 12, 2017

  • View from the North 40: Water, water everywhere, but not a thought to think

    Pam Burke|Updated May 12, 2017

    I could be writing about a lot of really interesting things that happened this week, but instead it’s all about the water. Again. This time, though, I now have it, but apparently don’t know how to use it. Sure, no one who really knows me expected me to go into a frenzy of cleaning after regaining running water in the house, even if it was a four-month dry spell. You would think I could transition back to using it at least out of habit, though. I mean, I wasn’t raised by wolve...

  • Hello God. It's me, Mara

    Updated May 12, 2017

    You know, Lord, sometimes one needs a little help doing some things; then along came Charles S. Ross with a “thought” about Mothers. “Old Mothers” by Charles S. Ross: “I love old mothers — mothers with white hair and kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet with murmured blessings over sleeping babes. There is a something in their quiet grace that speaks the calm of Sabbath afternoons; a knowledge in their deep, unfaltering eyes that far outreaches all philosophy. Time, with caressing touch, about them weaves the silver-thre...

  • Out Our Way:

    Updated May 12, 2017

    Out our way, one thing Goliath and I have learned over the years is that trails have a start and a finish - and that they always lead somewhere. Of course, you have to take that on faith, for when you are on the trail, you generally only see a small part of the whole. As noted last week, to a cow the trail is just that small part she is treading at the moment, but the drover knows there is more and a destination. Now, for many people who have never read the entire Bible, they...

  • Practical Pastoring: Receiving and releasing people

    Updated May 12, 2017

    Receiving and releasing people is an area of church life that is crucial yet often overlooked. One of the keys to receiving and releasing people is to allow the Holy Spirit to bring into the church those He wants in, take out of the church those He wants out, and allow to remain those in the church whom He wants to remain. If our expectation is that our success is determined by having a large congregation, we are missing the mark. Jesus asked the Twelve if they wanted to leave when other disciples had turned back and no longe...

  • George Ferguson Column: Fort Benton girls making headlines on the Hi-Line

    George Ferguson|Updated May 12, 2017

    I saw a post on the Havre Daily News Facebook page not long ago. Someone was asking the question “Since when is Fort Benton a part of the Hi-Line?” The response to that would be, of course, Fort Benton is not physically and geographically on the Hi-Line. My guess is, residents of Fort Benton don’t consider themselves Hi-Liner’s either. However, almost four years ago, Fort Benton High School was moved into the District 9C, and that makes them every bit a part of our Hi-Line cov...

"The Lewistown Invitational is very important and it really ties into the divisional tournament,"...
