You know, Lord, there’s a cute story about a young couple shopping in a second-hand store. The gal was looking for a frying pan like her grandmother had used. They passed several departments. As the gal passed the stuffed animals, she said, “Oh, Titus, look at that cute little bear. He’s wearing a heart on his front.” Then she hurried on to the cooking ware department. Titus quickly grabbed up the bear, plus a few things that he wanted, paid for them, had the clerk tucked the items into a larger sack than necessary, then wait...

By Emily Mayer In last week’s column, I mentioned a couple of issues in the Feb. 8, 1919 edition I didn’t get to and they would be mentioned this week. A mystery meeting had taken place in the office of the county assessor, but no one seemed to be talking. Was it a Non-Partisan League meeting, or a combination of newly elected Republicans? The article noted Hill County Commissioner Wilson and Non-Partisan League Organizer McLeod were present, but T.J. Troy, County Attorney Stranahan, and the Rev. E.J. Huston were notably abs...
Ian Hammond, which sounds like an actual name and not a user name, started as a joke an online petition to sell Montana to Canada for $1 trillion to help pay down the U.S. debt, arguing that: “We have too much debt and Montana is useless. Just tell them it has beavers or something.” As of 11:30 p.m. Thursday the petition had just under 5,000 signers. This is not any kind of real petition with aspirations of getting legislation changes on a ballot. It’s just a whimsical suggest...
For a decade or more, our Montana Legislature has grappled with the increasing need to renovate both Romney Hall on the Montana State University campus in Bozeman and the Montana Historical Society museum facility in Helena. A compelling case has been made for both these projects, but they have repeatedly come up just short of final approval in the complicated legislative process. Romney Hall is a great and imposing old structure constructed in 1922 during the administration of Warren G. Harding. There is nothing wrong with...
The Big Sandy Pioneers have spent the past few years rebuilding and, even though they suffered a heartbreaking loss in the opening round of the District 9C tournament against North Star, the arrow is pointing up. And for most of the day Thursday, it looked like Big Sandy was going to advance to the semifinals for the first time in years. Even with a loss, though the Pioneers still have a chance to advance to the Northern C Divisional tournament. Either way, Big Sandy is one...
Thursday morning at the District 9C girls basketball tournament is all about staying alive. It's all about keeping the season going. And that's what the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds and Chinook Sugarbeeters did Thursday inside the HHS gymnasium. In the first girls loser-out game of the tournament, the T-Birds walloped Big Sandy 57-33, as HLP used a 20-8 run in the fourth quarter to put the Pioneers away. HLP (6-14) got a balanced attack, led by Latasha Kirkaldie's 13 points,...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights have had some big Frontier Conference wins of late. In their three-game winning streak heading into their final road trip of the regular season, no win, however, was as big as the Lights' victory over Carroll College two weeks ago in the Armory Gymnasium. Thursday night though, Carroll got back at the Lights, and with a vengeance. In the third meeting between the two rivals, the No. 7 Fighting Saints clobbered the Lights 75-45,...
The Chinook Sugarbeeters were rarely tested in District 9C regular season play this winter. But the start of the 2019 District 9C tournament was a different story because the Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hawks certainly put the Beeters to the test. In the opening game of the 9C boys tournament, Chinook was able to pull away from eighth-seeded CJI, 60-33, Thursday in the HHS gymnasium. But it was by no means easy. "Compliments to CJI," Chinook head coach Mike Seymour said. "They...
Just two weeks ago, the Turner Tornadoes pulled off their biggest win of the season when they upset the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds. Fast forward a few days, and things looked very different when the two teams met again. Thursday, in the opening round of the District 9C boys tournament, the Thunderbirds put on an offensive display, and got some revenge, by thrashing the Tornadoes 88-46 in the HHS gymnasium. The win pushed HLP into tonight's semifinal where the T-Birds will...
The 2018 postseason was a magical one for the North Star boys basketball team. Then, graduation came, and the Knights came into 2019 younger, and far less experienced. But, North Star still has that never-say-die attitude - that has never changed, and it was on full display in the Knight's opening round 9C tournament game with the Big Sandy Pioneers Thursday afternoon. Fifth-seeded North Star trailed the fourth-seeded Pioneers 44-28 at the end of the third quarter, but in the...
The Fort Benton boys basketball team lost only two games during the regular season and that's why they entered the District 9C tournament as a favorite to advance to divisionals next week. But in the early going against Box Elder, in the quarterfinals of the 9C tournament Thursday inside the HHS gymnasium, the seventh-seeded Bears weren't intimidated by the Longhorns, who trailed at the end of the first quarter to upstart Box Elder. Yet, in the second stanza, Hayden Diekhans...
The Turner Tornadoes were determined to give the Fort Benton Longhorns' all they could handle in the semifinals of the District 9C Tournament Thursday night inside the HHS gymnasium. It just wasn't as strong as the Longhorns determination to play Box Elder for another 9C championship. Thanks to a buzzer-beater by Aspen Giese a year ago, Fort Benton beat the Bears for the 2018 9C championship and after knocking off Turner 65-51, the Longhorns and Bears will meet in the district...
As Lilly Gopher continues to nurse an injury, the Box Elder girls basketball team still isn't at full strength and with the way the Bears are dominating, that's a scary thing for the rest of the District 9C. While Gopher did suit up and come off the bench to knock down a couple of 3-pointers and score 10 points, Box Elder would have been fine without her as the Bears cruised to an easy, 71-29 victory over North Star Thursday night in the semifinals of the District 9C tournamen...
After 63 years of being married, this year Roland and Peggy Joe Gould celebrated another Valentine's Day together. Both born and raised in Havre, the couple first met while going to school together. Peggy Joe laughed, then said she didn't like her husband very much during high school, adding that he was kind of a troublemaker back then. But after high school, at the age of 19, they were married in August of 1955. She said that they had a church wedding in the old Methodist...
