As much snow as the Havre area has seen in an unusual fall, this region probably haven't seen anything yet. Though the Winter Solstice officially begins Saturday, Havre and surrounding areas, as well as much of central Montana, have seemingly already been locked in winter's snow grip since the end of September, and therefore, long-standing records have fallen or were threatened, said Jane Fogleman of National Weather Service in Great Falls. "When we talk about snowfall in a...

Out our way, ranchers, farmers and cowhands are generally well-thought-of. Even in the city, a cowboy is treated well and even admired by folks who live nearly all of their lives indoors. But it was different in Judah 2,000 years ago. Folks who worked with livestock were the lowest of the low in society and treated as such. Now, as I have noted before, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, shepherds were out with the sheep in the hills. I am told that as dumb as cows may be, sheep are far worse, and just like the modern rancher o...

This week’s religious article covers “What is Advent?” and the first and second weeks of Advent, as we have celebrated them. Next week’s article will cover the third and fourth weeks of Advent...
Action words You know, Lord, a gift of a paper rose sent to Aunty S. brought back a gift of Galatians 5:13 which reads: "For, dear brothers, you have been given freedom: not freedom to do wrong, but freedom to love and serve each other." She had underlined the last part of that verse. That one word, "serve," can mean so very many different things, i.e. wait on, minister to, care for, help and assist; even to perform. We have many opportunities each day to do this and to do so...
There is no debating the most historic season in Montana State football history. No, 1984 has always topped them all. And yet, it's almost hard to believe that. The Division I-AA national championship the Bobcats won 35 years ago was also the last time they made it as far as the 2019 Bobcats have. Yes, the No. 5 Cats (11-3) are standing on the verge of history as they get set to play in their first FCS semifinal in 35 years. Of course, that historic game also comes with a...

A lot of change has happened among Class A in the sports offseason, including a new conference realignment that has pitted new teams against each other.

In the Ponies' case, there are three new rivals within the Northeast A conference and...

I grew up in the “Bewitched” era, and that after-school TV fantasy sitcom probably ruined me forever. I have believed in magic ever since. I’ve looked for it, longed for it. I was absolutely sure that if I could get my nose to wiggle side to side I could do magic. Not card trick and sawing women in half magic, I’m talking real magic — disappearing, doing all my chores done in a blink of an eye and conjuring a flying horse. I wasn’t messing around with this goal. I worked at i...
