  • View from the North 40: Paradoxically, it makes sense

    Pam Burke|Updated May 6, 2022

    Some things in life just make sense - maybe not at first, but eventually you know enough or you stumble into some information or you just get lucky, like the half-finished puzzle, which you've been struggling to assemble without the picture, and all its loose pieces fall onto the floor in such a manner that the puzzle is completely assembled. Ta-dah! And you look at the assembled puzzle image like, "Oh, yeah. Huh. That makes sense." (As a side note, yes, I understand that...

  • Safety meeting on fire department rescheduled

    Patrick Johnston|Updated May 6, 2022

    A Havre City Council Safety Committee meeting to discuss possible safety hazards in the Havre Fire Department scheduled for Thursday was canceled and rescheduled for May 16 at 9 a.m. at the request of Havre Mayor Doug Kaercher, who said it was improperly noticed at Havre City Hall and in local media. The primary issue the meeting was called to address is lead and asbestos in the fire department’s building that could be dangerous to those working there, an issue Havre City Council Member and Safety Committee Chair Josh M...

  • Tester talks meat packing in press call

    Patrick Johnston|Updated May 6, 2022

    Montana Sen. Jon Tester held a rural press call Thursday primarily about his and his colleagues' recent efforts to curtail anticompetitive practices and consolidation in the meat packing industry. "Capitalism has helped to make America the greatest nation the world has ever seen - but capitalism only works if we have competition - and right now a lack of competition, specifically in our beef markets, is making it harder and harder for our family farms and ranches to succeed,"...

  • Letter to the Editor - Rosendale supports Montana agriculture 

    Updated May 6, 2022

    Dear Editor, As a Montana farmer, I am deeply concerned about the anti-natural resource policies of the Biden administration. Agriculture is the economic backbone of our state, and his policy decisions are causing serious issues for Montana’s agriculture industry. The struggle to pay skyrocketing prices for essentials like fuel and fertilizer, plus inflation and supply chain issues is very serious. I am pleased to see that Congressman Matt Rosendale has signed onto a letter sent to President Biden with concern over these i...

  • Daines undeserving of conservation recognition

    Updated May 6, 2022

    Recently, I canceled a trip to fish for steelhead in Washington because that state closed the Hoh River over historically low returns. This is nothing new to any angler who has followed the trajectory of sea-run fish throughout the Northwest. A deadly cocktail of irresponsible development, climate change, and dams have decimated salmon and steelhead in the lower 48. Fortunately, Montana anglers who dream of taking a trip to chase these species have a critical ally in a Republican member of Congress. Idaho’s Mike Simpson l...

  • Montanans rule

    Updated May 6, 2022

    All of us who love Montana are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the state’s Constitution that keeps the power of Americans’ right to vote in the hands of Montana’s citizens. Montana’s Constitution is championed throughout our increasingly imperiled free world for how it protects democracy for its citizens from Fort Peck’s to Flathead’s lakes, from Browning to Billings, from Livingston to my hometown of Shelby. I’m the lucky, straight out of Missoula’s U of M Grizzly who way-back-when staffed delegates from all over the sta...

  • On Second Thought: There ought to be a law

    Will Rawn|Updated May 6, 2022

    Thanks to the Supreme Court and the Department of Homeland Security, the partisan bonfire should burn hotter than ever for this year's congressional contests. Not long after the first news of that Supreme Court leak on Roe v. Wade, the Democratic National Committee was running an "Abortion is Healthcare" ad on Facebook with a "chip in to elect Democrats at every level" plea to protect abortion rights, because with a Supreme Court dominated by Republican appointees, rights are...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated May 6, 2022

    April showers bring May flowers; a bit of snow helps too. There's saffodils and red tulips and some flax turning blue. Shy violets hide 'neath dewy grass, resting at "Violet Springs." Birds atwitter, feeding, nesting. "May's spring time!" my heart sings. We'll start this month with fragrant crabs, or May pole dance will do. Say! Mickey Mouse was born this month and Frank Sinatra, too! We smell rain storm - taste a rain drop, rebirth still in the air. We watch the rain, then...

  • Grief Poem - You are not forgotten

    Updated May 6, 2022

    You are not forgotten, dear one, nor will you ever be, as long as life and memory last, we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, we miss your smiling face. No one knows how you are missed; no one can fill your place. Life is a lovely memory; death is a silent grief. He sleeps right now in God's Garden; he sleeps in perfect peace. We miss you dear, so very much, but know God knew what's best. God let me keep him many years, then gently bid him rest. We try t...
