Editor, The biggest issue of the Montana special election is the Montana mail-in ballot. Risking defeat by doing the right thing is the very definition of courageous. And in this case what’s right was profoundly clear, unequivocal and laid squarely in the hands of one Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte — a failure in this test of courage. Montana sawyers show courage when we fall that six ton widow maker. Montana farmers show courage when we lay down hard cash for fuel and seed and fertilizer on a bet that we’ll get a fai...
The Havre Daily News has great respect for the people who volunteer countless hours to serve on boards that make local events and facilities like the county parks, the local museums and the county fairgrounds work. People work tirelessly with little thanks, and often criticism, on those boards, in the chambers of commerce, in service groups and organizations and just to volunteer at events and to help people. All of those people should be commended and thanked. But The Havre Daily News believes they always have to do one...
I hope you’re good at math because I am going to employ my rudimentary mathematical skills to get this column done quickly so I don’t waste my valuable vacation time at a computer. I would love to be using my mathematical skills to be tallying things like margaritas and mai tais, or the number of years older I would look from too much sun on the beach, minus the years younger I would look after the derm-abrasion treatment from the sand, but, alas, my time off is a wor...

You know, Lord. watching birds is entertaining and amusing. After cleaning and filling the bird bath, it was interesting to watch which of about a dozen different kinds of birds who flitter back and forth over here, enjoying trees, apples, water, whatever, which ones would be first to come to bathe or drink. Several birds of various species stopped in for a quick drink, and then, a robin and a sparrow came about the same time. They took a sip, looked up and around, took another sip and then it was almost like they began...
When we are rebellious and stubborn, we are sinning. It appears that there are people attending church whose minds are made up and locked about certain issues. They do not want to be confused with the facts presented in the Bible. You can be sincere in your feelings regarding an issue and be sincerely wrong when your feelings are compared with the Bible. Our discussion in the next article will look specifically at the roles of men and women in the church. Society’s values are not necessarily Biblical values. What are the d...
Out our way even Beaver Creek can seem pretty powerful when the rains come and the snow melts. As many of you know, up on the nature trail in the park is the terrifying culvert but I have to admit a few years back when the bridge at the Lion's Campground was wiped out, crossing Beaver Creek had me more than a little nervous. Goliath is a big horse, 16 1/2 hands high and weighing a good 1,200 pounds. I know because he once stepped on my foot and I limped for a month! Yet, even...
