As summer came to a close, and weather predictions for the impending winter in the Havre area ramped up, fans of a warmer, drier winter were treated to some good news. An El Niño winter was coming and it was reported to be one of the strongest El Niño patterns in recorded history. Now however, winter is officially one month old, and, at least for Havre and parts of the Hi-Line, the question is: Did El Niño forget about us? According to Jim Brusda, a meteorologist at the Na...

I have a long and successful track record of failing at productive introspection. My natural philosophy generator has two settings: ultra-pragmatic and ohmigawd(!). It creates two types of responses the “whatever” and “life's too short for (insert curse word of your choice)” kind and the “life is over” and “what ___?!” (as in “what did I do?!” “what just happened?!” “what'd you do?!” and “what the (insert curse word of your choice)?!”) kind of thing. I read something a while...

It could be that you may even know someone who has told you that they don’t want anything to do with churches or religion because the only thing they do is cause war and division. Now that I think about it, I even have one or two in my family with this perspective on church and religion. In fact, if we take time to examine the histo...

One Sabbath day, Jesus was walking through the corn fields. Being hungry, his disciples began to pick some of the corn as they passed. The Pharisees who saw this began to cry out that it was against the Law of Israel to "harvest corn" on the Sabbath. Jesus turned to them and said, "Haven't you read in the Scriptures of how David, when he and his men were starving in the days of Abithar, the High Priest. They went into the dwelling of God and ate of the holy bread that only...

Two of those games were wins over Livingston and Belgrade Dec. 18 and 19, and both of those victories were key to HHS building a lead in the Central A. Yet, starting tonight...
