A principal in West Virginia has been disciplined for plagiarizing the speech he gave to his school’s graduating seniors. Now-graduated student Abby Smith listened to the speech Parkersburg High School Principal Kenny DeMoss gave to her graduating class and thought it sounded familiar. After she found the speech online and saw DeMoss had copied actor Ashton Kutcher’s 2013 Teen Choice Awards speech almost word-for-word, she did what modern teens know to do, she made a vid...

Everyone knows the old saying that Rome wasn't built in a day. Well, championship basketball teams aren't either. They are built with talent, but also with hard work, dedication and lots of time in the gym. And when it comes to spending time in the gym, it would be hard to find a high school basketball program that spends more time in the gym than the Havre High girls, the two-time defending Class A state champions. Led by head coach Dustin Kraske, the Blue Ponies have lost...
It's been a big hit the last two years, so it's bound to be again. That's right, Mixed Martial Arts is returning to Havre for the third straight summer, as Fusion Fight League presents Lights Out at the Dome 3 Saturday night inside the Havre Ice Dome. The MMA event has been a big success in Havre the last two years, with a sold-out Havre Ice Dome for each of the first two shows, so there's no reason to think that, Saturday night's L.O.D.3 as it's being dubbed, won't do the...

Like the time Charlie and I were moving the herd a few miles from an area that was rapidly becoming over grazed to new pasture.

You know, Lord, spiritually significant men in our lives bless us in countless ways. First, is my father; because of his type of work, we were able to begin our day together at breakfast as he led in our family altar. We weren’t sent to church; we went as a family. My father’s life bears testimony to You, Lord. Grandpa lived out of state, but the few times he came to visit, he told a little girl wonderful stories of heaven, streets of purest gold, many mansions, and of Grandma waiting up there for him and for us — she wanted...
When the phone rang, I answered, “Barrows residence, Vicki speaking.” My sister Deb’s familiar voice replied, “Hi, I’m calling to update you on Dad’s condition. I know you have a lot going on at church, but I think you should try to get away as soon as possible to come and see him. He’s failing quickly.” So, I booked a flight and packed my bags. On the way to Arizona I prayed for Dad, for our family, for strength, the same things many of you have prayed many times. Then I said, “Daddy God, I’m not expecting Dad to re...
