From Shodair’s Children Hospital The start of a new school year is a hectic time for most families. New teachers, new courses, new classrooms, maybe even a new school or community.

Shodair Children’s Hospital has decades of experience as Montana’s leading resource for children’s mental health and understands the importance of creating a smooth transition from summer to school....

I don’t know what you’ve heard about Greenland, but it’s a strong, independent, saucy country that don’t take no nonsense off of any countries, even Denmark, which it is married to but not necessarily living with. If you know what I mean. Archaeologists have found prehistoric evidence that different Inuit cultures have inhabited Greenland starting in about 2500 B.C., but life was not easy there on the largest non-continental island on the planet. If you recall from almost...

I am not very good at saying goodbye. I never have been and that is making it especially hard to say goodbye to Havre and the Havre Daily News. But the purpose of this column is to say exactly that — goodbye, to all of you. As you may or may not have heard, I am leaving for the Independent Record in Helena and while I am excited for the new journey that lies ahead for my family and me, it’s with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Havre and the Hi-line. Just over five yea...
I am not sure if you have noticed, but sometimes life is really hard. Often our personal choices — good or bad — lead us to a place of discomfort, emotional and physical struggle and sense of loss. Sometimes it seems life just hands out misery to us. For no particular reason! If you sense a bit of frustration in that last sentence, you are correct. Having said that, I believe that every time we experience pain, suffering and loss it is an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God. Our Scripture readings for this Sun...
You know, Lord, sometimes the wind moans and groans and whistles as it gently flaps the curtains at the open window which we like to have open a bit during this summer season. We know some older folks who in fact seem to know how to read the moods and moans and sighs of the wind — but, for sure, that talent didn’t get to all of us. Uneven heating of the atmosphere by sun energy causes wind or air, which makes for circulation — that’s what one guy in the know mentioned. That was most interesting! Local winds affect only sm...
I stumbled on a mini-revelation recently. I had heard about a tragic situation and I thought: “I wouldn’t wish that on … ” — and I thought of someone. I stopped and considered: “Is there someone I hold in such disregard that I would wish them misfortune? Is there someone of whom I would think, ‘You got what you deserved?’” I once felt vindicated when a mean-spirited boss of mine was fired because he treated his employees badly. But did I wish him harm? Did I hope his wife would leave him or he might suffer some terrible los...
Out our way, the winters can be harsh. Charlie Russell’s “Waiting for a Chinook” is a classic portrayal of that part of Montana life we all know. I can recall Alberta Clippers that dropped tons of snow and temperatures dropping to minus-40 degrees or more. But then comes a chinook, and the snow melts and a mini-spring in February reminds us winter isn’t forever. And then comes the real spring and the winter snows water the pastures and the creeks and water holes. Charlie and I would ride out onto the Tiger Ridge and observe...
