    Pam Burke|Updated Jun 15, 2019

    A principal in West Virginia has been disciplined for plagiarizing the speech he gave to his school’s graduating seniors. Now-graduated student Abby Smith listened to the speech Parkersburg High School Principal Kenny DeMoss gave to her graduating class and thought it sounded familiar.

  • They can't wait for their turn to be Ponies

    George Ferguson|Updated Jun 14, 2019

    Everyone knows the old saying that Rome wasn't built in a day. Well, championship basketball teams aren't either. They are built with talent, but also with hard work, dedication and lots of time in the gym. And when it comes to spending time in the gym, it would be hard to find a high school basketball program that spends more time in the gym than the Havre High girls, the two-time defending Class A state champions. Led by head coach Dustin Kraske, the Blue Ponies have lost...

The MMA event has been a big success in Havre the last two years, with a sold-out Havre Ice Dome for each of the first two shows, so there's no reason to think that, Saturday night's L.O.D.3 as it's being dubbed, won't do the...

  • Out Our Way: How'd they miss this one?

    Updated Jun 14, 2019

    Out our way, you can sometimes miss important things because you simply haven’t been paying attention and have grown somewhat lazy. Like the time Charlie and I were moving the herd a few miles from an area that was rapidly becoming over grazed to new pasture. It was past the mating season, the calves had all been born and were frolicking alongside their moms, and the bulls had retired about a half mile away in their “Good Old Boy’s Club,” no longer challenging each other for dominance but quietly lying peacefully side by...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Jun 14, 2019

    You know, Lord, spiritually significant men in our lives bless us in countless ways. First, is my father; because of his type of work, we were able to begin our day together at breakfast as he led in our family altar. We weren’t sent to church; we went as a family. My father’s life bears testimony to You, Lord. Grandpa lived out of state, but the few times he came to visit, he told a little girl wonderful stories of heaven, streets of purest gold, many mansions, and of Grandma waiting up there for him and for us — she wanted...

  • Pastor's Corner: Dedicated to all the fathers

    Updated Jun 14, 2019

    When the phone rang, I answered, “Barrows residence, Vicki speaking.” My sister Deb’s familiar voice replied, “Hi, I’m calling to update you on Dad’s condition. I know you have a lot going on at church, but I think you should try to get away as soon as possible to come and see him. He’s failing quickly.” So, I booked a flight and packed my bags. On the way to Arizona I prayed for Dad, for our family, for strength, the same things many of you have prayed many times. Then I said, “Daddy God, I’m not expecting Dad to re...
