The Havre Jaycees will once again hold their Fourth of July Fireworks display at the Great Northern Fairgrounds starting on the holiday around 9:45 p.m. Havre Jaycees Individual Development Vice President Draven Roe said this year’s display may include some new fireworks, but it probably won’t be radically different from previous years. The event is free, but no parking will be allowed on the fairgrounds and Roe said the earlier people show up, the better if they want to get good spots. He also said there is little cha...
Freedom is a finicky thing. When I was in seminary, I didn't have a car, but I had two feet and sturdy shoes. I walked almost everywhere I needed to go. My freedom to walk to work, school, church, and the grocery store depended on drivers giving up their freedom to drive at any speed, anywhere, anytime. My freedom to cross a busy street safely meant that drivers were not free to shave a few seconds off their morning commute. But the give-and-take of freedom goes the other...

While some rain fell in this part of north-central Montana in the first part of June, and substantial precipitation hit much of the state from April through June, most of the state has moved from dry or drought condition listings on the U.S. Drought Monitor map released Thursday. Most of Hill and Liberty counties still are listed as in extreme or exceptional drought, the two worst listings on the monitor. Blaine County has moved from being listed as in extreme drought to...
The Hill County Commission voted to approve a number of contracts at this week’s business meeting and provided updates on a number of issues they had to table or that were not on the agenda.

They also unanimously approved a professional services contract for a preliminary architectural report with B...
Dear editor, Since the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on overturning Roe vs Wade on abortion, the liberal Democrats have screamed how their “rights” have been violated. They — the liberals — use terms such as “It’s my body” or pro-choice. Not once have I heard any of them say they have “the right to kill my baby.” You will never hear them say “The constitution says I can murder my baby if I want.” The liberals will tell you it is inhumane to execute convicted killers by capital punishment. Save the killers, kil...
I have been on tenterhooks for a month now, not just about the excitement of having a practical use for a juicy, old-timey word like tenterhooks, but also, and mostly, about science and specifically whether a salt crystal will prove to be Pandora’s box, Spiderman’s arachnid or, like, a dud firecracker where you’re anticipating drama and excitement but get pffft. NPR reported May 24 that large crystals of salt were found in central Australia, and the crystals show signs they...
One day in the far distant future, back when I was God, time is relative, one of my very intelligent earth persons proved that, but more will be revealed, anyway, one day one of my other earth persons requested a visit. Which I granted. I set up times for personal visitation, one hour in the early morning and one hour late at night, since most hours in between, I seem to be out of sight, out of mind. I quite like visitation. No matter whom I am scheduled to see, visitation is...
Montana Sen. Jon Tester, the only active farmer in the U.S. Senate, identified the problem when he said, “I just came off the worst year ever on my farm. We need to do something on climate change. I think we spent $144 billion this year on disasters and I don’t think that included crop insurance. So we need to do something on climate, too.” Agricultural producers are on the front lines of climate change and are experiencing the impacts now. Mega droughts, fire, floods and other extreme weather events cost $145 billion in 2021...

Out our way, folks tend to adopt a "live and let live" attitude. I know people get angry and riled up, but you don't see much "road rage" on rural roads like you do on city streets. Also there is a tendency to want to help. My son, Andrew, went off the road into a ditch while working at the Hays/Lodge Pole schools and within a short time a wonderful stranger in a pickup drove by, stopped, hooked up some chains and hauled him out. No questions asked, no hesitation - just what...

You missed our day, my dearest one, too soon you flew away. We had good times, a lot of years, you're in my thoughts each day. You left a note that was just found, you told us not to weep.

Remembering our last sweet kiss, then God called you; "Come Home!" So off you flew to Heaven's s...
