All good things must come to an end, they say. They also say, it's hard to say goodbye. Well, I'm here to tell you, in my case, it's all true. Come Sunday, my wife, Amy, and I will be leaving Havre. For a plethora of reasons, family, friends, careers, the Blue Ponies, and this just being our home, it was the hardest decision I've ever been faced with. And that includes leaving my current position at the Havre Daily News. I've spent 22 years at the HDN in many different...

In a good two week’s worth of miscues and mishaps and daily trips to the plumbing store on our way to a fully functioning kitchen sink, my husband, John, won the Video-worthy Fail Moment of the Project award, which doesn’t exist, but should. We’d been trading off different duties on the project and John tagged in one morning last week to install the shut-off valves on the hot and cold water lines — a task for which he had formulated a plan. I suspect somewhere there exists...
Here in Montana, tens of thousands of seniors will get relief thanks to a new law that helps to reduce out-of-control drug prices. After years of urging Congress to make prescription drugs more affordable, older Americans won the fight for Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices and help millions save money on their medications. Two key provisions of the new law took effect Jan. 1 of this year: First, the new law limits the out-of-pocket costs of insulin to $35 a month for people on Medicare, saving money for an estimated...
The Montana Legislature is in full swing. Over 1,000 bills and resolutions are making their way through the House and Senate. As busy as it has been, the pace will pick up as we near the first transmittal deadline on March 4. The deadline requires bills without spending or revenue attached to them to transfer from one house to the other to survive. It also marks the halfway point of the 90-day session. I am fortunate to serve on the Appropriations Committee. This is the busiest committee in the Legislature, as we are...
Please don’t grimace like that, Mrs. Hunter. I’m drunk on spring love and language is ours to play games. Spring arrives quickly here in Jalisco, the Garden State of Mexico. I declare, we are definitely in the Sprang stage of Spring. Boing. Boing. Boing. What fun it is. Light opens the sky a little bit earlier. Not much, here closer to the Equator, but a little. And it stays around a little bit longer in the evening before it drops behind the mountains. And the day warms up...

Out our way, even the best of us are tempted to eventually hang up our spurs, When Charlie's horse fell on him and ended his days as a cowboy, and eventually his life; Charlie never quit being Charlie. Charlie and I worked out at the hospital therapy room all that winter and although he came and went in a wheelchair and knew this was the end of the trail (he died a few months later), he kept going. One of the proudest days (and saddest) was when he called me up and asked me...
You know, Lord, one can certainly be caught off guard if someone asks us, "What has God done for you today?" Our minds freeze, that's almost like a pop-quiz teachers like to give, right? That question keeps one thinking about You all day, Lord. We notice Your fingerprints, Your goodness and faithfulness or more specific things like a glorious sunrise, lovely colorful sunsets, finding a penny in a parking lot or a favored item on sale at the grocery store, or even a hug from a...
