  • New and Improved Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line

    Paul Dragu|Updated Aug 19, 2016

    When the new Memorial Fitness Park playground at the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line was being planned, the designers weren’t very interested in what the grown-ups had to say. They wanted to know what the kids who would be screaming and running and falling on the playground wanted. They wanted a slide, but not a “baby slide,” HELP — Havre Encourages Long-range Prevention — Committee Director Krista Solomon said. The kids wanted a cave, and they got one, complete with fake...

  • Letter to the Editor: Thanks for helping at Red Cross blood drive

    Updated Aug 19, 2016

    Editor, Thanks to the 114 registered donors who walked through the doors of St. Jude Parish Center July 11 the Red Cross blood drive was a huge success. Only six donors were deferred and there were three first-time donors. For some reason the July blood drive is usually a success. Our goal is 86 units, so having 114 walk through the doors is wonderful. I, personally, would like to thank all of the donors who took time out of their day to donate. July is one of the months blood is most needed. The Fifth Avenue Christian...

    Pam Burke, Humor columnist|Updated Aug 19, 2016

    The bodies are piling up and the continual scenes of carnage are starting to eat away at my soul, causing me to ponder the deeper implications of the bloody actions of my quarter-feral, yellow-tabby cat. Frankly, I had been thinking for a while now that I might be harboring a serial killer, but then earlier this week, in the faint pre-dawn light of morning, I saw him snag a bat out of the air mid-flight and it occurred to me that I may be operating a secret base for a...

Cecil and Elsie had raised her and her siblings and all were good horses — but Autumn was beyond good — she was great. I recall Cecil — who had to weigh more than 300 pounds — once rode her cross-country in a 50-mile race, and easily came in with the leaders. The vet who checked the horses wondered aloud if Cecil had been ch...
