After at least two years of Hill County employees asking for county credit cards for work-related expenses, the Hill County Commission voted to approve one credit card for the county, with the intention to develop further policies that may see others approved. Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson said anyone who wishes to use the card should sit down with Hill County Auditor Kathy Olson, who will be managing it. This approval drew criticism from Hill County Clerk and Recorder Sue Armstrong and Hill County Treasurer Sandy...

Rural Fire District 1 is drawing up contracts with surrounding rural and volunteer fire departments, RFD1 Board Chair Steve Jamruszka said in a board meeting Thursday, ones he hopes to have in place by June. Jamruszka said they have to sign contracts with these departments instead of using mutual aid agreements because RFD1 can’t actually reciprocate aid directly, as they contract their fire suppression services to the city of Havre which handles RFD1. He said the only time these contracts would really come into effect is i...

I just didn’t imagine myself saying this, but some lines in the sand might be worth drawing. Mind you, I’m not talking about breaking laws, or bucking society, or compromising principles, or shirking responsibilities, or bending the rules — or even throwing myself on a sword or dyin’ on a hill. Sure you could do those things with your little line in the sand. The line represents a border between either and or, this and that, one or the other. Maybe the line is one you won’t c...
Americans have vital choices to make. Failure to make choices before voting is not an option. Some people are trying to limit your access to the poll and invalidate your ballot. For example, Texas’s new state law permitted nearly 270,000 ballots destroyed. We need to redouble efforts to help everyone to vote. If many of us fail to vote, then by default we may push our society towards living in a right-wing political cultist environment. There we will have to accept big lies and endure a country fraught with tension, fear, a...
Hello, my name is Tina Louise Salazar, and I am running for the office of Clerk and Recorder. I’m originally from Texas and my education and experience make me the best person for the office of clerk and recorder. I’ve always considered running for office, but it wasn’t until I became a resident in Havre, Montana, that I decided to run. When I arrived in Havre, I was worried that people wouldn’t be friendly or that I’d never feel part of a community like I did in Texas, but I was wrong. The people that I have met here are...

Out our way, folks are used to working long days - especially in the spring and in agriculture. Farmers and ranchers don't have time clocks and with longer days and shorter nights, you often have incredibly long hours. A thermos carried in the pickup or tractor - or in your saddle bag - is the closest you get to a coffee break, and meal times vary depending on how long it takes to get the job done and variables like the weather. And there was also the equipment or stock to...
Twice a year, I lead worship by candlelight in a dark sanctuary: Christmas Eve and Good Friday, the Incarnation and the Crucifixion. These two commemorations have more in common than just the use of candles instead of electricity, though. Both of these days center around the body of Christ. I don't mean "body of Christ" the way we usually use that phrase, as a way to talk about the whole church. The Incarnation and Crucifixion center around the actual, physical,...
