    Pam Burke|Updated Nov 29, 2013

    When an event like the Havre Community Thanksgiving Dinner runs smoothly, people can be forgiven for thinking it is accomplished as if by magic, but in reality, it's the product of years of experience and the generosity of many helping hands. After Debi Rhines agreed to take over as chief organizer of the event in 2011, she was given, she said, a three ring binder with "everything" in it.

But does one ever expect to have to eat two Thanksgiving meals in one day for work? I don't recall seeing that in my job description, and, yet, as of the writing of this column on Wednesday, that's the... Full story

    Updated Nov 29, 2013

The museum will have a class facility to show off the area’s rich history. Congrats to the foundation for working hard to raise the money for the museum. Laurel — Ninet... Full story

(He used a white wine for the turkey.) For the... Full story
