Spring skiing! A bittersweet time. A warm day, the sun shining, the two conspiring to undo the snow that brought such delight this year. A small crowd was expected the Saturday before Easter. Warm temperatures drive people to other pursuits. But people weren't ready to see the season end. A great crowd made its way to the hill, and kids, there were loads of kids. Many who were beginners at the start of the season had progressed to making regular runs from midway, some even...

The burro is photographed dozens of times and...

At that point we began hearing presentations on 42 of the bills that had to get moved to the House by cutoff. Of the 42 bills, I could not vote fo...

Finally some sun, and some warmer weather came to Havre. Unfortunately that warmer weather might keep people off of local golf courses for a little while yet. With so much late winter and early spring snow, courses will certainly be wet, and minor flooding around the Havre area is also occurring right now, so golfers will once again have to wait patently to finally get on the links in Havre and other courses around the Hi-Line. Of course, golf plans do continue. Flooding will...
