During a lengthy meeting of the Streets and Sidewalk Committee of Havre’s City Council, city officials agreed to try to work to educate the public on special improvement districts — SIDs — that could be used to repair streets in the city. “We’ve obviously had two ballot measures that didn’t pass, much to my chagrin,” council member Terry Lilletvedt said, “but it didn’t pass two times so I think we need to look at other options.” Havre tried twice to have voters approve a mill levy to use to rehabilitate the streets. In 201...

WWP’s analysis focused on five different sections of “Senate Bill 785 — Commander John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act of 2019.” NAMI Montana has been working on this Legislation in honor of our dear friend, colleague and Helena Navy SEAL veteran — Commander John Scott Hannon. The bipartisan bill was introduced by Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., to im...
I’ve been a big, fat, liar, liar, pants on fire all week long. I’d be more concerned with this uncharacteristic laps in moral standards, but I’ve been on vacation and I just can’t muster the energy to show the proper amount remorse. This general laziness also explains why all my lies include the phrase “a few minutes.” “I’ll get started on that in a few minutes.” “I’m just going to lay back down for a few minutes.” “I’ll be there in just a few minutes.” “I’m just going t...
Editor, Grazing and haying are commercial uses in our Beaver Creek Park that have substantial impacts on the economic and ecological circumstances of the park and should be of interest and concern to the citizens of Hill County that own the park. A “first reading” of the Grazing and Haying ordinance occurred Thursday, May 16, at the Hill County Commissioners business meeting. There should now have been a posting of “Notice for Public Inspection and Comment.” A copy of the proposed ordinance should be available at the Hill Co...
Out our way, I am always amazed and astonished at how the critters I work with are so much more loving and forgiving than I am. I have sometimes been in a bad mood and spoken harshly to Doc to Jack when they crossed me, I have whacked Doc with the lead rope when he balked at loading and, from time to time, I have smacked him, when I got frustrated or angry, with the quirt or reins when he was slow to respond and I was impatient. Now and then, paying no attention, I have stumbled over Jack and stepped on his paws causing him...
The month of May is marked by two important events — graduation season and mental health awareness month. On the occasion of both, I want to talk about resiliency: “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change,” as defined by Merriam-Webster. As we learn to bounce back from painful situations, we find the power of resilience. Part of being human means that we will all experience misfortune and change, but how we respond to those events determines our joy. One of the most famous inspirational quote...
Many of the ideas and Scriptures used in this article are from the book “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn. As I have aged my close range vision has suffered. I often wear cheaters in order to be able to read small print without great sunlight. In Heaven we will have eyes in order to see God. We will be forever cured of sin. Until we get our new bodies we will continue to put our hope in God and not in stuff or our circumstances. 1 Timothy 6:17 instructs us that God “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” It is not wron...
You know, Lord, here’s an interesting thought: what we are is more important that what we do! No matter what, there is always going to be someone in our “class/group,” with as much “smarts” and education as we have, doing what we want to do — only they are doing it better. That’s life. That part isn’t the important thing, though. One’s life is not a cold resume of facts. One must build character, a life, learning that we are not the center of the universe. Our job is to show up, to really listen, to laugh more, to do and t...
Over the past three seasons, the Fort Benton Longhorns have collected plenty of hardware on the track and this weekend, at the Class C state meet, both the boys and girls teams will be looking for more. The Fort Benton girls are no stranger to winning trophies at state.

"We have really been building some nice...

Tensions about funding and operations of long-distance rail only underscores the legacy that service has on Montana's Hi-Line. At the National Rail Passengers Association Northwest Division annual meeting in Cut Bank last weekend, part of the discussion was of the importance of passenger rail service and its continuation in the United States, but a large portion was also celebrating the 90th anniversary of The Empire Builder, the premiere passenger rail service that has run...
