South of Havre lays the volcanic Bear Paw Mountain range, which houses 10,000 acres of an escape for outdoorsy types, fishing enthusiasts, intermittent cabin dwellers and, especially, camping aficionados. The lakes, ponds, hills, mountains and 100 camping sites offer something for anyone who has any shimmer of outdoor interest. The park has an approximate annual budget of $250,000. With revenue from cattle crazing, cabin leases and park permits, it fully sustains itself. Park...

By Emily Mayer This week’s war news included another article regarding food conservation and that the state fair may be a food-training camp meant to increase food production and reduce food waste. In last week’s column, it was mentioned that there would be a wheat shortage. This week, predictions were that there was going to be a 25 percent increase in overall grain crops in Montana. Efforts were planned to ensure the health of both farmers and railroaders during the war effort to make sure that grains and food were har...
Public lands have become a major issue in this campaign, and for good reason. Whomever Montanans elects as their next congressman, he will have the opportunity to vote on congressional budgets that will have an enormous impact on our public lands. Budgets are more than numbers; they’re also value statements. And the budget President Trump recently proposed makes clear that he does not value our public lands the same way Montanans do. His budget would cut the Department of the Interior’s budget by 12 percent, representing a d...
Editor, In moving forward with our new 4-H Chuckwagon facility, we want to see how much interest we have from interested parties, tradesmen, or contractors who are willing to help in all areas of construction. We will be having a 50-foot by 140-foot metal building constructed by Clausen and Sons, Dave Clausen being the project manager. One end of the building will be a 15-by-50 foot storage area, with two multi-use areas, the kitchen and restrooms occupying the rest of the structure. At this time, the details for the heating/...
Visiting family is like looking at yourself in a funhouse mirror. You know you are seeing yourself reflected back, but everything is skewed, cockeyed and out of proportion. Some of the reflections scare you, but some make you laugh out loud. Half my family tree was lost in the divorce. Not my divorce, but my choice of tree branch to follow. Admittedly, I was young and very much interested in self-preservation of my early teenage psyche, but still I lost touch with half my...
I didn’t want to go. I was still recovering from burning the soles of my feet on the hot sands of Mazatlan. The plan was for Lani, Kathy, Crin and me to go to Tonola for the tianguis, the huge street market, and from there to Best Buy for Kathy to buy a washing machine. It’s hard to pass up a day in Tonola. But the bait that hooked me was Best Buy for a shop vac. My house is all brick walls, tile floors. I really don’t need a vacuum cleaner. But you go around the walls with...

That certainly gives the impression that there will be a well-rounded selection of events to soon take place in our city. There was a wide enough choice of just about anything and everything to please almost everyone, wouldn’t you think? One might think of You, Lord, when the subject of “Co...
Mentoring should continue throughout your pastoral life. It has been well over 20 years since I began pastoring the Ark Church. Pastor Dan still helps me when I call him. Whether a church issue or a family issue, Dan is always willing to provide his insight. I hope that you will have a mentor who helps you and in return one day you will mentor another. Although this was the last letter that Pastor Dan sent to me before I arrived in Havre, it was not his last letter to me. The letters and my responses will give you a sturdy...
Out our way, you run across a great many trails and sometimes you can get a tad mixed up about which one to follow. But if you have an idea about direction, you are rarely led astray by a false trail. If I am heading west, then a trail that changes direction to north or south is not likely to be the trail I want. It will take me somewhere, to be sure - but not where I intend to go. In Genesis is the incident with the original "fork tongue" deceiver - the serpent who seeks to...

Antonia Stump, an 11th-grader at Rocky Boy High School, is one of the school’s April Students of the Month. Her nominators said she is fun, outgoing, and full of laughter. Sometimes her laughter can get the best of her, which gets her off track and unfocused, but it is joyful to hear. Throughout Antonia’s previous high school years, she has struggled. Some concepts did not come easy for her, but for this fourth quarter of the 2016-2017 school year, she is making the connections and understanding the concepts. Her grades hav...
