The Hill County Commission voted 2-0 Thursday during its weekly business meeting to accept MACo’s new insurance rates and keep the contribution percentages of Hill County and its employees the same as last year. The original proposal would have shifted the amounts paid for health insurance if the county employee also insured a spouse, children or family, with the employee paying an increased amount and the county paying less. The idea was proposed as a way to reduce property tax rates in the county. A document provided by t...

In less than two weeks, ballots will be mailed to voters throughout Montana, and Republicans will have an important choice to make. After 16 years of single-party control of the governor’s office, we can win in November and put Montana back on the right track. I support Greg Gianforte for governor because he offers a positive, hopeful vision for what we can achieve and where he will lead our state. I’m disappointed, though, by some of the outrageous, false charges I’ve seen against Greg Gianforte — particularly by fellow...
Allow me to sound like broken record for a few minutes. But, I promise, it’s for a good cause. Last week, I wrote a column imploring residents of Havre and Hill County, and really, residents of humanity, to continue following the basic guidelines that help stop the spread of COVID-19, so that we can protect our health care workers. The timing of that column came as Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced his plan for beginning to re-open our great state of Montana. Now I’m asking for the same thing, but with an added mis...

There are many things that have been lost with the official cancellation of the spring sports season. There will be no games, meets or events. And student-athletes, especially seniors, have been left to wonder: What might have been? For a good majority of the seniors in high school sports, it has been a long time of dedication and hard work to go far in their sport, including Havre High tennis players Reese Bulkley and Jake Huston. Bulkley and Huston have been a doubles team...
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. We’ve all heard that saying a million times, and, probably, we hear it more the older we get. For many of us, it probably has rung true at one point or another in our adults lives. After all, the older we get, the more we start losing things. But, when it comes to my tennis coaching career, that famous saying couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve always known exactly what I’ve had in being the Havre High head tennis coach. And I can assur...

Out our way, as in most places, folks go through hard times and have to endure. I recall, when I was first learning to ride, I had a horse go “haywire” on me, spooked by a dog. He started to spin and kick and then took off full tilt heading right for the fence. I was an inexperienced rider on a spooked horse that paid no attention to my hauling on the reins — nobody had yet taught me to circle a spooked horse to calm them down — and I was in sheer panic myself. I was sure I was going to get tossed or worse. But the gal who...
