  • Northern C: Knights make history; Longhorns repeat

    Chris Peterson|Updated May 18, 2018

    No matter the sport, the Northern C is always super competitive. But Thursday in Great Falls at the Northern C Divisional track meet, it was the District 9C and the North Star Knights who stole the show. The North Star boys, who won the District 9C title last week in Havre for the fifth straight year, did something no boys athletics team has done since the inception of North Star and that's win a divisional championship. The Knights finished first with 82 points, beating...

  • Correction - Scouts article

  • Letter to the Editor - Improve Havre, Adopt a Park!

    Updated May 18, 2018

    Editor: Last summer, a discussion spread across Havre’s Facebook community regarding the issue of litter. The overwhelming majority of Havre residents are responsible citizens that pick up after themselves, but it only takes a small number of thoughtless people to make our sidewalks and parks look messy. “Civic duty,” is a phrase we don’t hear much of these days. We all have a responsibility to help our community function and thrive, in big ways and small. Out of the litter discussion, and at the suggestion of Paul Tuss, H...

  • View from the North 40: PSA on grass and weed management

    Pam Burke|Updated May 18, 2018

    Vegetation management for me is almost like the old adage “it’s a blessing and a curse,” but more like both a curse and a curse. If I apply the full weight of my efforts, I cannot get the good grasses and plants to grow, and I can’t get the bad ones to die either. This is both a shame and a frustration, especially on my 60 acres of gravel and gumbo, with little to no topsoil and a tendency toward saline seep, 60 acres that have been used and abused over the last 100-plu...

  • Hello God. It's me, Mara

    Updated May 18, 2018

    You know, Lord, even though Mother’s Day has just passed, we do thank You for our mothers. Some one said that “Like mother, like children.” We surely don’t have to look very far to see that that statement is true. You fully appreciate the influence of a Christian mother in molding of character in her children, Lord. Most noble characters and fine leaders of history have had good, God-fearing mothers. To name a couple: we’ve been told that George Washington’s mother was pious, and Sir Walter Scott’s mother was a lover of poet...

  • The Scriptures on Finances - Must give an account to your Master

    Updated May 18, 2018

    This week we will continue looking at material from the book “Managing God’s Money” by Randy Alcorn. Mark 12:41-44 “Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins. Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions. For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, bus she, poor as she is, h...

  • Out Our Way: Our Father

    Updated May 18, 2018

    Out our way, some pastors find they aren’t masters of theology, regardless of what the degree says. I have studied, and I have earned degrees from two highly-respected seminaries, but some of my best lessons have been learned in the saddle and by opening myself up to God’s universal sermons. Goliath, my cow pony, if a 16 1/2 hand quarter horse can be called a “pony,” has helped me grasp a number of deep and important theological concepts which I had missed along the way. I call him “Doc” these days because he has been my prof...
