  • Thanks to all from East Fork Fire Foundation

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    The East Fork Fire Foundation Board is pleased to announce that funds so generously donated by our community have been dispersed, and all funds have been allocated.

  • View from the North 40: What are you talking about, Weather Channel?

    Pam Burke|Updated Apr 6, 2018

    As much as I am totally into dramatics, I do not think my adopted hometown of Havre deserved to be labeled as the worst city in the whole United States of America this winter. Yeah, I get it, our weather has sucked this year, truly, I’ve lived through it, but the worst, as in THE worst is a stretch —by hundreds of miles. I think it’s an ill-disguised attempt by those Weather Channel people to get more mileage out of the video they shot last year of the aftermath of the Oct....

  • A new voice for Montanans 55 and older

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    Have you had “the talk” with your mother or father? You know, the one where you try to convince them to quit driving? It represents everything we fear about aging. How can you stay in the house you have lived in for years if you can’t drive to the grocery store? How can you keep up with your friends and family? What about getting to doctor’s appointments? How can you afford it? Some older people have the resources to afford appropriate housing, transportation and healthcare. Even then, helping a parent or loved one deal wi...

  • Daines, Gianforte owe us a fair deal on public lands

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    Over the years we inhaled plenty of Montana wilderness trail dust. We’re a couple of long-in-the-tooth recreational horse and mule packers who enjoy wandering in our Montana public lands. We have a few bones to pick with Sen. Steve Daines and Rep. Greg Gianforte. Mainly, we don’t approve of their land grab of the people’s Wilderness Study Areas, or WSAs. Sen. Daines’ bill S2206 is titled, “The Protect Public Use of Public Lands Act.” Sounds benign right? It ain’t. It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This bill was introduced to...

  • Winter still interfering with Blue Pony track

    Chris Peterson|Updated Apr 6, 2018

    It has been a difficult few weeks for all the local high school sports teams and Thursday, they each got some more bad news as all the events scheduled for this weekend were officially canceled. That includes what might have been the first meet of the season for the Havre High track teams. Both Blue Pony squads were scheduled to compete at the Lewistown Invitational Saturday, but the meet was canceled due to snow. The Ponies will now hope to open their season Tuesday in...

  • Out Our Way: "Thy kingdom come"

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    Out our way, I am pleased to have been able to live a dream. Like many kids growing up, I wanted to play cowboy - and here on the Hi-Line I got to play it for real. Charlie took me under his wing and let me work cattle with him for six years. Oh, I suspect the real deal cowboys will always see me as an amateur - and that is accurate - but at least with Charlie it wasn't just wearing the hat, it was doing the actual work. Now, I have ridden off and on for years, but always on d...

  • Pastor's Corner: The solution for the fear of death

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Death is the single common denominator that will come to all men. I have been called several times over the years to pray with a person who has been diagnosed with very little time left on this earth. It is the last stage of life as we know it here and the entering in to a new dimension of life in the hereafter. In Hebrews 9:27 it says “And as it is appointed for men t...

  • The Scriptures on Finances - 'Diligent hands bring riches'

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    This week we again look at material from the book “Never Enough?” authored by Ron Blue with Karen Guess. Often people will pursue financial answers in order to attempt to solve heart issues. Let’s look at some wise principles to employ in our financial lives. We should spend less than we earn because every success in our financial lives depends on this habit. Genesis 2:15 “The Lord God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and watch over it.” Work has rewards. It brings dignity, allows us to use our t...

  • Grief Poem - We're left behind – they've gone ahead

    Updated Apr 6, 2018

    We’re on this side — we’re feeling sad, ’Cross Jordan’s stream, they’re very glad. Parent, sibling, our spouse, or child, They’re so happy while we are wild. Yes, we miss them and tears do flow, We really knew they had to go! If we could hear that crowd of kin, Shout: “Welcome HOME, come right on in!” Our loved one’s gone — they’re out of pain, We’ll see them soon, yes! Once again! There’s no more death and no more tears, So – kin on earth — open your ears! It’s passed away — all former things, God’s Word says so, New Lif...

  • Hi-Line Living: Robots on the Hi-Line

    Kristen Takeuchi|Updated Apr 6, 2018

    While many high school classrooms may be empty during lunchtime, Chris Comp's classroom seems to be the complete opposite. Lunches and snacks are spread over the tables but are greatly ignored as the students in the room gather around computers, 3D printers, gadgets of all shapes and sizes and, of course, robots. This year marks two milestones for the club with a freshman driving a team all the way to state. The driving force behind the autonomous robot the Havre High School T...
