“I’ve been reading about cats,” my husband, Peter, tells me. Peter has never had a cat before. “Oh, yeah?” “Salt is not good for their kidneys. We have to give Felix unsalted fish.” Felix is our adopted street cat here in Mexico. He is coming back to the U.S. with us in a fancy backpack carrier I found online. It has mesh on either side, with one big plexiglass bubble in the back, so Felix can watch his fellow passengers in comfort. He hasn’t flown yet, but our trips to an...
Usually I don’t read anything more complex than the back of a cereal box, but this week — perhaps it was fate, perhaps it was indigestion — I found an essay on Latin America. In it was a sentence like “it was more of an Argentinization of Brazil than a Brazilianization of Argentina. Though one can argue the Brazilianization of Argentina is really the Brazilianization of Brazil.” The essay led me to make a deep, meaningful conclusion. It wasn’t about Brazil. It was about life. I should become a philosopher. Instead of...

The Hill County Park Board heard a brief update on environmental monitoring in Beaver Creek Park during their monthly meeting Monday, where they also heard from Hill County Conservation District Administrator Emma Korntheuer, who cleared up a number of misconceptions about an upcoming watershed assessment and grants it could be used to pursue.

Havre City Council approved Monday an ordinance adopting Title 4, Chapter 5 to create new business registration requirements was passed. In an interview Friday, Havre Mayor Doug Kaercher said the city used to require businesses to be licensed by them in order to operate, but the recurring fees associated with that license were perceived by many as "being double taxed," so the city council got rid of the requirement. The ordinance does not bring back the licensing, but is a...
Talk about a long road. Once upon a time, the Big Sandy girls basketball team was a fixture at the Class C state tournament. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Pioneers were among the elite programs in Class C. But, for more than a decade, that all changed. Now however, the Pioneers have finally returned to the state tournament, and they'll get to do it in Great Falls, which is essentially a home away from home for the Pioneers of head coach Travis Baumann. And Baumann and the Pionee...

Tonight, inside the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls, the undefeated Bears begin their quest for a Class C state title when they take on the Harrison Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. The Wildcats, the runner-up in the Western...
During a “commissioner staff meeting” Monday, the Hill County Commission discussed a number of issues, including board appointment applications and employee health insurance, issues that in the past would have been discussed in a regular business meeting, causing one commissioner to call for the meeting’s name to be changed to avoid misleading the public. During the meeting the commission went over various applicants to the county’s boards and the status of said boards, including the Great Northern Fair Board which has thr...
