The Great Northern Fair Board will be holding a special meeting Tuesday, May 9, at 5:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds’ Community Center to disscuss ways to address the fairgrounds’ western bathrooms. For the past year the board has been attempting to find a way to replace these bathrooms, but at a meeting last month members of the board said the price tag on the project was so high that even if they canceled all other projects and spent every cent they had, they would still be well short of paying for the more-than-$200,000 pro...
Keely Larson KFF Health News-UM Legislative News Service Republican leaders' banishment of a transgender lawmaker from floor debates in the recently ended Montana legislative session seized the nation's attention.

As truisms go, it’s not very catchy, and it’s pretty unsavory, but after last week, I can vouch for its truthfulness: The night isn’t really dark until your horse starts vomiting. Since I’ve already given away the gripping plot twist, I might as well tell you — in case you’re too tenderhearted for the suspense — that everyone survived the equine medical emergency. Myself included. Now with the ending out of the way, we can roll back to beginning when I found one of my horses...
I served 26 years in the Montana House of Representatives, initially as a Republican, then as a Democrat, including two terms as majority leader and one term as speaker before I was “termed out” in 2000. My father, the Rev. George Harper, was an Independent Delegate to the 1972 Constitutional Convention, where “power-sharing” by majority Democrats helped unite the delegates in the mission of crafting a modern state Constitution that unshackled Montana from 83 years under the “Copper Collar.” I always advocated for my beliefs,...
Our gardener, Leo, was gone for a week, off to the beaches of Cabo San Lucas with a group of friends. "No worries, Leo. I can water my own plants. I'll do a section every day. Go have fun. All will be well." Easy to say, yes? Harder to live the reality. I figured three sections: front of house, back and sides of house, back yard. One, two, three. Easy, peasy. Plants, however, are not logical. If a plant is gasping, pleading, "Feed me, feed me," what is a woman to do. I...

Here in Havre, we observe the National Day of Prayer by meeting in Town Square. We started the observance with worship music from 11:30 a.m. to noon. The actual observance started at noon. In years...
Seasons do change and so do we, as we walk the Grief Route. We shuffle on but this we know; we're loved without a doubt. "Time" marches on, we miss our mate, no matter 'time' of year; What "e'er" his work, he did his best - to us he was most dear. Grief knows no time - we're all unique, covered by God's great care. Our hearts feel broke, but God is near, He's close as a quick prayer. We're born to die; we'll go back "home," as soon as You, Lord, call. We're here to work but...
Judges 6:15 - And the Lord called Gideon to deliver Israel, but Gideon cried out, "But how can I do that? My clan is the smallest in the land and I am the least in my family." Out our way teamwork is essential, and many times I was faced with a task that was more than I could handle, but not more than Charlie and I could manage together. And Charlie wasn't my only "pard" back in the day, for there was also Doc. Now south of town in the Beaver Creek Park area, it is opened up...
You know, Lord, sometimes one might learn a few things from teeny tots. That was pretty cute when D.G. shared about a great-grandchild of her d-i-l's grandmother. She said that the two of them were sharing lunch when J.M. said, "Hey - would you believe that my teeny tot Izzie just turned 2 years old, and she can talk? She lives nearby four grandmothers and has named them! So cute. "Izzie's parents farm near her mother's parents so, she's named that grandmother, 'Rancher...
