The summer season is fast approaching and with it will likely come scores of tourists who spend money at area businesses. This week is National Travel and Tourism Week, with a theme this year of "The Faces of Tourism." Tourism is Montana's second largest industry. The Institute for Tourism and Recreation says in 2016, nonresidents brought $3.5 billion in spending and supported 52,630 jobs. With U.S. Highway 2 running through Havre, the town is well-positioned to be a stop for...

I could be writing about a lot of really interesting things that happened this week, but instead it’s all about the water. Again. This time, though, I now have it, but apparently don’t know how to use it. Sure, no one who really knows me expected me to go into a frenzy of cleaning after regaining running water in the house, even if it was a four-month dry spell. You would think I could transition back to using it at least out of habit, though. I mean, I wasn’t raised by wolve...

You know, Lord, sometimes one needs a little help doing some things; then along came Charles S. Ross with a “thought” about Mothers. “Old Mothers” by Charles S. Ross: “I love old mothers — mothers with white hair and kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet with murmured blessings over sleeping babes. There is a something in their quiet grace that speaks the calm of Sabbath afternoons; a knowledge in their deep, unfaltering eyes that far outreaches all philosophy. Time, with caressing touch, about them weaves the silver-thre...
Out our way, one thing Goliath and I have learned over the years is that trails have a start and a finish - and that they always lead somewhere. Of course, you have to take that on faith, for when you are on the trail, you generally only see a small part of the whole. As noted last week, to a cow the trail is just that small part she is treading at the moment, but the drover knows there is more and a destination. Now, for many people who have never read the entire Bible, they...
Receiving and releasing people is an area of church life that is crucial yet often overlooked. One of the keys to receiving and releasing people is to allow the Holy Spirit to bring into the church those He wants in, take out of the church those He wants out, and allow to remain those in the church whom He wants to remain. If our expectation is that our success is determined by having a large congregation, we are missing the mark. Jesus asked the Twelve if they wanted to leave when other disciples had turned back and no longe...

I saw a post on the Havre Daily News Facebook page not long ago. Someone was asking the question “Since when is Fort Benton a part of the Hi-Line?” The response to that would be, of course, Fort Benton is not physically and geographically on the Hi-Line. My guess is, residents of Fort Benton don’t consider themselves Hi-Liner’s either. However, almost four years ago, Fort Benton High School was moved into the District 9C, and that makes them every bit a part of our Hi-Line cov...
The Central A divisional tennis tournament isn't until next Thursday in Bozeman. But, for Havre head coach George Ferguson and his Havre Blue Ponies it really starts in Lewistown instead.

"The Lewistown Invitational is very important and it really ties into the divisional tournament,"...
