Editor’s note: A version of this story in Thursday’s edition of Havre Daily News misreported that Havre City Council previously approved people having chickens in city limits, which it did not. Following is the corrected version in full. Havre resident Al Garver is continuing his efforts to push the city to make owning chickens in city limits legal, gathering more than 450 signatures for a petition for the city to change its ordinance. The city of Havre in 2015 considered a proposal to allow people to own chickens pro...
Editor’s note: This version corrects who Kelly Brough faces in the runoff election for mayor of Denver. A Havre High School graduate is facing off Tuesday in the runoff election to be mayor of the 19th-largest city of the nation. Kelly (Broere) Brough is facing Micheal Johnston Tuesday in nonpartisan runoff election for mayor of Denver. The two received the most votes in a crowded election April 4, with 22 candidates, but neither received a majority of the votes, leading to T...
The Havre Fire Department is in the midst of a week-long training about rescuing people from buildings and confined spaces using ropes and pulley systems with the help of Glacier Rescue Solutions. Members of the department practiced Thursday extracting dummy patients using MacKenzie Hall at Montana State University-Northern, first lowering a department member from the roof of the building to the ground, extracting the patient and then lifting the rescuer back up again. Havre...
The Hill County Commission approved during its business meeting Thursday five requests from Hill County Attorney Lacey Lincoln to appoint a special deputy county attorney to assist her in a number of prosecutions coming up, but the commission had to table its other business for various reasons. A memorandum of agreement with Havre Trails had to be tabled since a transfer to Montana Land Reliance hadn’t yet been completed. Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson said they put it on the agenda in case that transfer had been d...

Editor, It’s Memorial Day. I attended the always-moving ceremony at the courthouse and knew many of the living and recognized a lot of the names those who have passed this year. It always is my thought that no tribute ever is enough for those who have given so much for this nation and sacrificed so greatly. I can’t help but wonder if more than just a few of us at the courthouse sadly thought about Congress possibly holding veterans benefits, surviving family benefits and medical opportunities, etc., basically hostage for pol...
In honor of 14-year-old Dev Shah of Florida, who won the 2023 Scripps National Spelling Bee Thursday, this week’s column is about official words. Scripps uses the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary as its official word source, but here in the news world we consult The Associated Press Stylebook, first, and the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, second — for spelling and usage of words that the AP stylebook does not cover. Or, as I like to say, only for words that AP...
The dust seems to be settling on the 68th session of the Montana Legislature, and I want to thank the residents of House District 28 for allowing me the privilege of serving Havre and northern Montana in the House of Representatives. My time in Helena was, as expected, both very rewarding and at times frustrating. But by focusing my time and energy on the common-sense priorities for which I campaigned, and by working cooperatively across the partisan divide that is all-too prevalent these days, I was able to have good...
An acquaintance stopped by the other day for a visit. Most people would have said, a friend. Another man, a close friend from years ago, whom I miss terribly but can visit only in memory, used to say, we have few friends. Most people we know are business acquaintances. I’ve thought about his saying often. My visitor definitely fits into the transactional group. I’ve known him for several years now but I so easily forget the rules. (His.) I expect a visit to be an int...

"... you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8 What does it mean to witness to Christ in our times? If images of street preachers, bible-thumpers, or door-to-door evangelists makes you shudder - you are not alone! I don't think standing on a street corner, preaching to the walkers or cars passing, has much appeal for anyone! Still, however...
You know, dear Lord, time's flying by; here comes the month of June. Next time we look, guess what we'll see? A lovely bright full moon!

The green grass grows next to the hills, birds fly 'round in the air; Flower perfume is everywhere, a scent we wish to wear. June's dawn is fresh, sweet and clear, the valleys lie in mist. There is no hast,...

They'll fade and crumble over years - but HOPE'S a lovely seed. We know the death that you went through, our God brought you release, And though we mourn as time's gone by, you have e...
