Here we go again. Only this time, you're no longer the underdog. It's December, and for third straight December, the Montana State Bobcats are on a roll. For the third time in as many seasons, the Bobcats look like a team that could win an FCS national championship. The difference this year though? The word "should" in that sentence might need to be substituted for the word "could." Yep, that's correct, of all the teams left in the FCS playoffs, the Bobcats look like one of...
The Hill County Commission did not hold its weekly business meeting scheduled for Thursday morning because the agenda was not sent to local media to publish 48 hours in advance, prompting the commissioners to schedule a special business meeting for Monday at 1:30 p.m. in their office. Montana law states that agendas for public meetings held by the Hill County Commission must be noticed to the public 48 hours before the meeting, but Thursday Commissioner Mark Peterson said he mistakenly did not send the agenda to local media...
Havre High School's band has a new Drum Major in Liana Durward, a senior and former color guard captain, who took over at the beginning of this year and who has been looking to continue improving not only their performance, but their connection to the larger community. Durward started playing music in middle school, as part of a family tradition that included her father and brother, both of whom played in middle school, the former playing percussion and the latter playing...
This whole idea started out lighthearted, but then it got all data-driven and serious. Leave it to the science nerds to research the life out of the fun. I had a thought about pronouns that made me laugh, y’know, on the inside. But the more I thought about it, the more I laughed until I actually laughed out loud. You’ve been there right? If not, you really need to reassess your approach to life. No doubt, a bunch of you are yawning and eye rolling, checking your wrist lik...
The campaign is over, the yard signs are down, the votes have been counted and it’s now time to get to work. I want to thank the residents of House District 28 for the confidence you have placed in me to serve your interests in the Montana Legislature. While we may not always agree on specific policy considerations, I know we do agree that Havre and northern Montana deserve a fair shot in Helena when it comes to promoting an economy that works for everyone, assuring public access to public lands, rehabilitating our aging i...
As elected officials, we are responsible for delivering for all our constituents, whether from blue or red districts. Today, Montanans in every county face real challenges, including increased cost of living and being priced out of the communities they’ve called home. In the past year, Democrats knocked on 270,000 doors. We heard about skyrocketing rent costs causing the loss of once-stable housing, moving in with relatives, or even living out of a car. People told us of having to use a food bank for the first time to feed t...
I own a revered and older washing machine. A washing machine is possibly the most wonderful tool ever created by man for the use of women. I never did like lugging laundry down to the river to pound it on rocks and dry it slung over prickly berry bushes. I highly recommend men learn to use a washing machine also. My washing machine is ancient. It was old when I bought it. I live in Mexico. When something breaks down, somebody will be able to fix it. That’s what we do here. T...

Press release Plant a Seed ... READ is conducting its end-of-year appeal during the month of December with its call to action being enrolling more children in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. More than 2,000 children from birth to age 5 in Blaine and Hill Counties eligible to receive these age-appropriate books in their name once a month which are free to the families. At this time only 24% of those children are receiving the books. Community members, businesses, service...
Press release Plant a Seed...READ is looking at other areas where we can serve and support our youngest learners. One such activity would be to create an activity-based program combining a preschool and hands on museum, art center, cooking with kids, birthday party room, etc. "Make 'n' Take" workshops for parents would be available and any other ideas community members would see as a need. The focus of this program, for children ages 3-5, is to experience the value of...
"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light! Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined." Out our way folks are getting set up for Christmas. The street decorations, lights on houses, trees being set up in living rooms, carols on the radio, and lots of shopping. More importantly, I hope most of us look past the glitter and the Christmas season to what the season is really all about. I read recently some folk are now...
(Matthew 24:36-51 NIV) 36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[1]but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the...
You know Lord, sometimes when one gives a gift, one gets something back. We recall a paper rose given to a dear Aunty quite a long time ago. No matter when or what was given to her, she always sent/gave a "thank you" note, occasionally mentioning Galatians 5:13, emphasizing the latter part of the verse "... but through love, serve one another[1]." Aunty knew the word "serve" could mean many things, for example, wait on, minister to, care for, help and assist, even to perform....
With it being field trip day at the Armory Gymnasium Thursday afternoon, students from elementary schools from across the Hi-Line packed the gym looking to see what the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team would do against Briercrest College. Along with trying to impress the youngsters, the Skylights looked to snap a three-game losing streak heading into the game. With the support of the children Thursday, the Skylights rebounded for a 112-39 victory over...
