For years, people who wanted to pay City Court fines could only do so when the court office was open, hours that were uneven throughout the week. But starting January, people can pay court fines any time City Hall doors are open. "Jan. 3, which is a Tuesday, at 8 a.m. - the goal is - that is when our joint, collaborative, executive-judicial branch project is launched. Happy New Year, city of Havre," Havre City Court Judge Virginia Seigel said Wednesday. The extended hours...
It was the pictures of two Appaloosa horses waiting in a feedlot for shipment to a slaughterhouse that motivated Michelle Donaldson to rally fellow horsewomen to save as many horses as they could from the kill pen in Washington state, and with nine of 34 saved horses still looking for a home, the friends are holding an open house to help find adopters. "I absolutely love Appaloosas, and I found on Facebook somebody shared a really sad state of affairs with a bunch of really...

’Tis the season to be jolly! From now until New Year’s Day, the merriment typically continues unabated. Between the gift-giving and spiked eggnog, some folks set aside a few moments so the reason for the season can be considered. Chances are that Jesus Christ and, more generally, the Christian tradition enter the equation. Wandering minds should instead focus on the Prophet Zoroaster and his religion. It is, after all, the grandfather of Christendom. Zoroastrianism is perhaps the smallest major religion in America, but do...
Believe me, I understand if you’re ambivalent or even disdainful of the religious aspects of Christmas. I understand why you couldn’t care less which festive cups Starbucks uses, why you’d just as soon your grandchild be a dancing snowflake as an adoring shepherd, why “Season’s greetings” resonates just as well as “Merry Christmas” with you, why you’d rather hear “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” than Handel’s “Messiah.” Maybe pompous ivory tower professors have lectured you that “everyone knows” the New Testament was written hun...
Back in 1969, by a whopping vote of 339 – 70, Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives united to pass legislation to do away with the electoral college. A companion bill, co-sponsored by Montana Sen. Mike Mansfield and supported by President Nixon carried the Senate by a strong vote of 53 – 34. That, though, was short of the 2/3 majority necessary to pass the proposal on to the states for ratification as is required for amendments to the Constitution. What drew the two parties together was the ele...
Seventh grade. 1957. I don’t know why I went to our first junior high dance. I couldn’t dance, not even a two-step. Didn’t know how. We were all “expected” to go and most of us showed up. For me, the experience felt like I imagined showing up for the guillotine. I knew more about Marie Antoinette than I knew about the waltz. The dance was held in “the pit” at the old grade school. The pit had a gym floor, a raised walk around area, and perhaps once was used for little guys’ phys ed. At that time, the pit was most often used...
