  • Let us join together to discuss divisive and demeaning speech

    Updated Feb 7, 2020

    We address this letter to all people of faith and of good will in our state of Montana. We are at a crucial time in our nation’s history, as well as that of our state, where racial, political and religious divisions have regrettably deepened. People on all sides have spent so much time fanning the flames of division that the higher callings of our religious traditions have been neglected. While we cannot speak for everyone from the various contexts of our siblings in faith, we also cannot remain silent. So we call out to y...

  • View from the North 40: Would you run through fire for it?

    Pam Burke|Updated Feb 7, 2020

    When I was a wee small human, among my prized family possessions were an impressive 6-inch thick Webster’s dictionary and the full, multi-volume faux-leather bound Encyclopedia Britannica. One day, after a second-grade class lesson on home safety, I pulled all these books out and stacked them into manageable piles, so that I could determine how many trips it would take me to save all that information from a fire. Six. It would’ve taken six trips. Still, rescuing those boo...

  • Out Our Way: This is the trail - ride it! - Isaiah 30:20-21

    Updated Feb 7, 2020

    Out our way, cattle trails tend to be pretty obvious and even a beginner like me got to become somewhat familiar with them. I knew where I was and where I was going most of the time on those familiar old trails. But sometimes those old familiar trails were no longer the right ones. When the reservoir and the creek overflows during the spring run off, a new trail has to be found. Now Charley, who had ridden the Tiger Ridge area for years, didn’t need a map to know where he was and where he was going even when the old trails w...

Picture them, youngest to oldest, astride Daisy. Occasionally baby sister Donna got to visit school, too, rider number one on Daisy’s back. Prairie scene, besides various grasses, flowers, birds, it might include coyotes, gophers, badgers, skunks, maybe ev...

  • Grief Poem - Winds of Love

    Our memories are a loving thing, they last the longest day!. They can’t be spent or even lent, nor ever snatched away. Jesus, take care of our dear one and love her/him as we do. Because she/he was everything, so loving, kind and true. Dear one, you took my joy with you, the happiest hours of all. The tears I’ve shed since I lost you, continue now to fall. Our lives go on without you, dear, but nothing is the same. We have to hide our broken heart when someone speaks your name. Those special years will not return when we were...

  • Celebrating History - Havre wasn't boring

    Updated Feb 7, 2020

    Emily Mayer The Hill County Democrat had several stories throughout January 1920 regarding some statistics from the previous year, many of which would have lasting impacts for decades to come. The meteorological report for 1919 was dismal. In the 40 years since records had been kept in this area, starting in 1879 at the weather station at Fort Assinniboine, it was the driest one on record. Autumn 1919 was the coldest on record. The mean temperature was 42.4 degrees, 10 degrees above normal. The last killing frost was May 14,...

  • I gotta admit, I haven't seen that before

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 7, 2020

    Lights beat Embry-Riddle on the mat, but the dual featured a bizarre ending Montana State University-Northern wrestling fans waited a long time to see the Lights wrestle at home again. But, in their first chance to see the Lights since November, they didn't get a full dual. In one of those, "did that really happen" moments, the head coach of the Embry-Riddle University Eagles pulled his team together and decided to exit the dual with four matches left in the night.

  • DAMAGE PATH

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Feb 7, 2020

    There are moments when all seems lost, when it looks like the lowest point has been reached and it feels almost impossible to keep fighting. In sports, every team can have those tough times, where the strength to keep going seems to have run out.

Perhaps no team better exemplifies that then the...
