As flood impacts continue to increase, Hill County has set a forum for Wednesday to discuss the flooding and what can be done to deal with it.

As more precipitation, rain and snow both, fell in the are a Wednesday through this morning, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has announced closures...
Two brothers, on a mission for closure, came to Havre this week to see Great Northern Railway Steam Engine 2584, a sister engine to the one their father died on back in 1945 in a crash. Brothers Gary and Ervin Zinter, who arrived this week in Havre by train from St. Paul, Minnesota, lost their father, also named Ervin Zinter, to a train crash with Engine 2581 in 1947 when the former was only 5 years old and the latter was only 5 days old, and they view this trip, in part, as...
As a new resident and homeowner in Havre, I was surprised to learn the city does not allow backyard chickens within the city limits. Historically, throughout the U.S., as small towns transformed into small cities, they prohibited livestock within city limits, including horses, dairy cows, rabbits and chickens. But over the past two decades there has been a marked shift to allow “urban hens,” even in very large cities. I lived for 10 years in Billings, which is one of more than a dozen major cities in Montana that allow urb...
While I was talking with an avid fisherman in late February, he confessed he was tired of ice fishing and had put all of his ice fishing gear away, even though it meant he may not get to fish for one or even two months, depending on the weather. In a show of solidarity I also made a confession: “I don’t like fishing. At all. As in I. Do. Not. Like. Fishing,” I said to the ex-fishing guide. Fishing is boring, I added for good measure — as one does when lacking the social...
Remember when you couldn’t wait? When each additional year brought joyful anticipation, jumping up-and-down glee? What? When you were 6. Then 10. 18. Even, in a different way, 21. That was then. I have a dear friend who still gets that excited. For years she has extended birthdays from The Day to The Birthday Week and celebrates herself every day. She’s healthier than I am. Me, I skulk around hoping nobody remembers. I don’t want any fuss. So I keep schtum. I also have frien...

Out our way, spring is a joyous season. Checking fence with Charlie and watching young calves frolicking about always brought a smile to our faces. I think even the horses, "Doc" and "Jet" enjoyed it as well, for they seemed to feel the excitement of the young'n's and get a bit of bounce in their step as well. Ah, spring! Ah youth! Ah boundless life, energy and abundance. But spring becomes summer - and with it calves become steers or heifers - still young, but no longer so...

"Easter is the main event," states Owen Meany, the child protagonist of John Irving's novel, "A Prayer for Owen Meany." Yes, many Christians have just experienced Holy Week, with the celebration of Easter, the annual remembrance and proclamation of the resurrection of a crucified, dead and buried Jesus of Nazareth. We pastors and congregations have been building up our spiritual expectations throughout the liturgical season of Lent, reflecting up our own mortality and need...
You know, Lord, we read the note Ms. Rosie wrote the day after Easter, mentioning how fun Easter had been at her place with her kids and grandkids. Then, the day after Easter, how they had all set aside their Easter bunnies in those bright candy baskets, but once the baskets were set aside, the colored eggs began to fade and begin to rot, and "cute" than turned into a chore to clean up. Not so much fun, but furthermore, it is then that we should begin our journey with Christ...
Normally, the Cal Wearley Invitational Track Meet is one of the season's big openers. But this track and field season has been anything but normal. Now however, the Cal Wearley, hosted by the North Star Knights, will return to the Havre Middle School Track, albeit a few weeks late. Still, the meet is one of the biggest small-school regular season track meets in Montana, and certainly the biggest on the Hi-Line. This year's meet will be no different, as it features all of the...
The Montana State University-Northern football team is now several weeks into its spring ball practice sessions. Over those weeks, the Lights have focused on conditioning and learning plays in order to prepare for the season. But MSU-N head coach Jerome Souers believes their biggest accomplishment this spring has been building a culture. "The leadership structure is really starting to shape up. Guys are starting to step up and they're demanding more of each other and holding...
