    Tim Leeds|Updated Jan 13, 2023

    Ballots are being mailed out to Blaine County property owners in a mail election to vote on creating a bond to fund repairs and improvements on the city pool and its Sweet Park.

  • Officials optimistic on Havre deer management plan

    Patrick Johnston|Updated Jan 13, 2023

    While weather seems to have impeded hunting efforts, Havre officials remain cautiously optimistic about the recently implemented urban deer management plan in the city, despite criticism by some residents. The plan, which allows for bow hunting of urban deer in certain areas of the city and potentially trapping on private property at some point, was passed by the Havre City Council last year with overwhelming community support. The deer population within the city has grown sig...

  • View from the North 40: It's everything but the kitchen sink

    Pam Burke|Updated Jan 13, 2023

    Research says one of the most common lies we humans tell ourselves is the one about how long a project will take to complete, which isn’t an explanation so much about why I don’t have a kitchen sink, but rather an explanation about why I’m surprised that I don’t have it up and running by now. This lapse between intended completion date and actual completion date is so common among humans that it has been studied and given a name: planning fallacy — a bias in our thought p...

  • Looking out my Backdoor: The mosquito buzz of epicaricacy

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Jan 13, 2023

    A friend introduced me to a new word: epicaricacy. An Olde English word. Means joy upon evil. Like schadenfreude. Like when someone else stubs his toe and stumbles, you gloat that it wasn’t you. Which has more than a sniff of self-righteousness. I know the word intimately. I try to keep it swatted away and like a mosquito, it returns. What strange creatures we are who live much inside our own heads. And what a strange head, speaking for myself. I cannot trust everything I t...

  • Out Our Way: There's nothing here - Psalm 145

    Updated Jan 13, 2023

    Out our way, Highway 2 is perhaps the longest two-lane highway in the nation. It parallels the Burlington Northern railway that covers most of the country along the Canadian Border. Back in the day, the trains were steam engines and needed water tanks to refill the boilers every 10 miles or so … and these towns sprang up along the tracks. Most were ranching and farming communities, so they tended to be small and rather obscure towns. With the creation of the National Park system, many tourists started to take the train and l...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Jan 13, 2023

    You know, Lord, even though Christmas has passed, this was thought-provoking. Sarah Young wrote some interesting thoughts, so, just sharing a little bit of what she wrote: “I am leading you along a way that is uniquely right for you. The closer to Me you grow, the more fully you become your true self — the one I designed you to be. Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with Me diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in My mysterious wisdom and ways, I enable you to follow this sol...
