Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Havre Middle School the Havre Public Schools Board of Trustees is set to yet again discuss, and possibly vote for, the coming year’s calendar, including the possibility of moving to a four-day week. Teachers in the district have been pushing the district for more than a year to go to a four-day week with extended class periods, saying it will significantly improve their quality of life, quality of work and the schools as a whole.

While flooding seems to have subsided on parts of the Hi-Line, a number of roads remain difficult to traverse and local road departments are working to address the issues.

Editor, I am Kevin Johnson, a candidate for Havre Public Schools board of trustees.

When we first came to the 68th session in January, the goal was all about removing red tape and clutter from our laws. Having gotten to the final stretch, I can only hope we have removed more clutter than we added. There have been 1,644 bills introduced as of this past week, which is 331 more bills than last session, and short of the record set in the 1973 session (2,211 bills). As some of you may remember, 1972 was when the Montana Constitution was last updated. It was followed by a big rewriting of many outdated laws. At...
I start noticing the planes overhead when it’s nearing the time to go. Planes don’t fly low over this small Mexican city. San Miguel de Allende doesn’t have its own airport, so the few planes flying overhead are high in the sky, headed off to somewhere else. I rarely notice them at all — until it’s time to leave. Now I’m watching them leave a trail in the sky and wondering about the people inside. Are they happy to be going wherever they’re going? Are they sad to be leaving wherever they were? After almost three months...
