At the beginning of each year, I like to remind our local church folks of why we exist as a church and what we're all about. I did that Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022. Here are some excerpts from that message: Mark 12:28-31 - 28 Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all? 29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God,...
The Havre High girls basketball team has dominated conference play in the Northeast A so far this season. The Blue Ponies have won each conference game by an average of 35.5 points a game so they have not faced much adversity in conference play. A long road trip might provide a challenge for the Ponies this weekend when they head all the way to Billings to play Lewistown at the Metra Saturday. "It's going to be an awful long day so I would expect us to be ready to play a game...

The Hill County Commission has reversed its decision to change their workers’ compensation insurance provider over to PayneWest Insurance, which was voted on two weeks ago, and stay with Koefod Agency, prompting a heated discussion about the reversal. Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson said upon reviewing their decision to switch to PayneWest, the commission felt that they did not give Koefod a chance to speak with the insurance committee and make a case for their agency. They made a motion to switch back to them for w...

Horses are psychic — if you don’t believe it, just watch them be jerks about it. I just spent three days researching, reading, interviewing and writing about livestock predation due to grizzlies, wolves, mountain lions and coyotes — which is the technical way of saying I was drowning in the details about large, wild meat-eaters making a meal out of livestock. The day I finished with the project, my horses spent the entire time I was out feeding them, in the dark, spook...
For the past eight year I served on the Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee, six as chair. When combined with my eight years in the House, I have spent more time evaluating the Public Service Commission’s regulatory duties and commissioners than anyone in the legislature. The PSC consists of five members, each elected from a distinct geographic Montana district, whose primary charge is keeping your lights on and power costs low. Previous efforts made by the legislature to redraw the PSC district boundaries to c...

Jerome Souers needs little introduction to Treasure State football fans. Over the course of his 21 years coaching the Northern Arizona University football program, Souers won 123 games, the most in Big Sky history. He will now look to lead the Montana State University-Northern football program to success as he takes over the program this fall. If he is going to turn it around, he knows he will need the help of the community. “We need everybody that’s on campus to re-...

The Skylights started off rough getting down 23-13 in the first quarter. The Bulldogs kept a steady lead going into halftime 39-25. Northern cut the lead down to 10 a couple...
The Havre High boys basketball team has found a little bit of a groove lately with two straight wins by double digits. Now the Blue Ponies hope to carry that momentum into their conference game against Lewistown at the Metra in Billings this Saturday. The Lewistown Eagles are the No. 1 ranked teams in the state, so the Ponies will have to bring their 'A' game if they want to compete Saturday night. "We got a big-time challenge down in the Metra against the number one team in t...
The postseason fast approaches for the Havre High wrestling teams as they look to end their regular season on a strong note. On Thursday night, the Blue Ponies began the final weekend of the season when they went on the road and won a dual, 48-16, against Glasgow. The dual got started with Havre's Matthew Lemer wrestling against Jake Kuda in a match in the 113-pound weight class. Lemer went the distance in the match, but Kuda won, 6-2, for a decision that gave Glasgow a 3-0...
Out our way, theology can be found in the strangest places. Maybe that is why some shepherds and cowpunchers are also pastors and theologians. God speaks to those who will listen - and also listens to those who speak. More than once, Charlie and I have found a stray calf far from the herd that somehow wandered off. Now while it is true that the pastures are mostly fenced and the predators are seldom prowling the area, they have been known to get in. I have shared how Doc and...
You know, Lord, what fun to dine with tiny tots (not their real names): Ida, 18 months old and big brother, Evan, age 4, and their grandparents. Both tots so cute and well mannered, fresh from heaven, curious, just learning their way around the world. Ida is learning to talk. One can only imagine what this bright eyed, puppy-tailed tot will be when she's 2! Ida was more interested in folks around her than in eating, even when grandma tempted her with a tasty bite: "Open wide...
