For nine years, the Jeff Reichelt Memorial Library in Big Sandy was no more than a concept, born of a local who gave away a building and asked that a library be built in its place to commemorate her son, an avid reader who died in a drunk driving crash. The doors officially opened Jan. 24. Marla Ray, Deloris Pribyl and Ann Quinn have been an integral part of the project since a steering committee was formed in 2011 culminating in the creation of the library on Main Street....

Press release A Hi-Line native's art is on display at a gallery in Los Angeles. Lois Lambert Gallery has opened "Transfiguration," a series of oil painting from Geneva (Twedt) Costa, who grew up outside of Rudyard. Costa's works are focused on censorship and identity in relation to her own experiences and to the larger plight of women in society. While personal narratives propel the creation of each piece, they are allegorical in imagery and symbolism to allow the audience to...

I was 33 years old, walking from the house to the shop on a warm spring day, the moment when I realized that I knew my parents when they were my age. I stopped mid-stride and calculated the years while the sun warmed my back and the profoundness of my thought altered reality and possibly opened a portal in the space-time continuum. I turned 10 the year Dad turned 33. My parents were building a house across town. My older brother was one year away from becoming a teen-aged...

Expectations! How we picture life with its ups and downs can be a source of great joy or great disappointment. Take Sunday’s Super Bowl 51 as an example; depending upon the team you were rooting for determined the emotional level you walked away with. Through the first half, if you were a Patriot’s fan, it was a humbling experience bordering on sure defeat. Likewise if you supported the Falcons, the outcome was basically “in the bag” for victory! What happened? Our expectations were drastically changed, new records were es...
You know, Lord, William A. Quayle wrote in “God’s Calendar” that February is all wintery breathed. Quoting him: “February is the month of expiation; the month of the thaw; the month of dreaming of Spring — and other things! God dreams dreams. Anybody could know that about God; for has He not made flowers, childhood, clouds, the spider’s web, the dewy morn, the rainbow-arch glow as the gems, the mountains crag, the undulant valley, the swift wind and the glow of love! “February is Winter losing heart and sitting down for a br...

Mark 11:15-19 Out our way, most congregations struggle to make their budgets not only because the congregations are small, but because a great many folks are on small, fixed incomes. Yet even so, it is always heartening to see how these struggling churches make sure a good portion of their budgets go to mission and ministry like the Food Bank, Salvation Army and the Soup Kitchen. Out our way, most Church folks figure the Gospel needs to be demonstrated with action as well as...

The Nationals and Wild meet tonight and Saturday night in Gillette, Wyoming. The Wild (28-9-1)...
The 2016-17 boys basketball season has been filled with trials and tribulations for the Havre Blue Ponies and with just two weeks left before divisionals, they are running out of time for a turnaround. Yet, the great thing about high school basketball is that the really important games are at the end of the season, which gives the 3-13 Ponies at least a glimmer of hope. But first, Havre needs some momentum, which can be acquired with a win over Rocky Boy Saturday night inside...

It was the third loss this season to LC for the Skylights, and the second time Northern has lost to the Warriors in a single-digit game in the last three weeks. "Our kids gave a great effort...
For the Havre High girls basketball team, just two weeks remain in the regular season. Yet just because there are games left on the slate, doesn’t mean there is much for the Blue Ponies to achieve. In practical terms, Havre can only improve its record. The Ponies have already wrapped up the top seed from the Central A in the Eastern A Divisional tournament and won’t gain much from beating Rocky Boy inside the HHS gymnasium Saturday. However, since it happens to be senior nig...
