Editor, Montana’s 1972 constitution guarantees its citizens a right to “a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations.” The 2023 trial of Held V. State of Montana, a lawsuit brought by 16 Montana youth, attempts to show how the state government’s longstanding energy policies violate this constitutional right by favoring fossil fuel industries with high carbon emissions. The lawsuit is named for plaintiff Rikki Held, age 22, a fifth-generation Montanan raised on a cattle ranch in the Powder...
In Jalisco, we are held fast in the grips of unrelenting heat and drought. As northeastern Montanans, we all know what that is like. Hot. Dry. Dusty. Depressing. Blue skies. Not a cloud in sight. My tender magnolia flowers all dried up in the fragile bud, turned to brown dust without opening. Even with daily watering, vegetables I planted poked up their little slender heads, looked around, said, “No, not me, uh huh, no, and keeled over.” As each bucket is harvested, I’m leavi...
Property tax appraisals are currently arriving in the mail. It’s important to review the valuation and appeal it if you do not agree with the valuation. The appeal instructions are in the letter that was mailed to you. You only have 30 days, so do not wait. If the value of your property increased by 30% that does not mean your taxes will increase by 30%. However, generally if the value of your property increased, most likely your taxes will be increasing. Property tax calculations are complex and understood by few. To c...
Property tax reappraisals are arriving in Montanans’ mailboxes this week and the news is not good. The Montana Department of Revenue is expecting average property tax reappraisals to jump a whopping 43% — Some properties are seeing an increase of 60% of its taxable value. “We have Gov. Gianforte to thank for our soaring tax hikes,” said Sheila Hogan, executive director of the Montana Democratic Party. “Because of his abject failure to do anything to permanently address property tax increases, working Montana families,...
It has been one year since the U.S. Supreme Court — SCOTUS — issued the Dobbs decision, eliminating the federally protected right to abortion. Here in Montana with the 2023 legislative session having ended in early May, we saw unprecedented attacks on the right to abortion and bodily autonomy, with record numbers of bills having been brought forward by legislators. However, Montanans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the right to abortion, despite the attempts to ban and restrict, remains legal and safe. The path lai...

In an article published on the front page of Thursday’s edition of Havre Daily News about this week’s meeting of the Great Northern Fair Commission, board member Ken Erickson is cited as saying it seems like Emily Mayer is trying to sidestep the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum board by asking the fair commission for permission to give presentations about the museum-owned Faber Schoolhouse and Homestead Shack on the fairgrounds. Mayer told Havre Daily News that English approached her about doing something during the fair, not...

Romans 6:8 - "For we know that if we died with Christ, we shall also live with Him." Out our way, most cattle are kept within fenced grazing lands, and except for the annual open-range grazing on Beaver Creek Park near the Chippewa Cree Tribe's reservation, herds don't often mix. We still do brandings and have the ear tags, but seldom need to worry about checking. If they were the right breed, had the right color ear tag, and were within the fenced area, I pretty well...
In last Sunday's readings (Exodus 19:2-6a, Romans 5:6-11 and Matt. 9:36-10:8), it becomes very clear that we have been chosen and elected by God. In the reading from Exodus the people are told by God that they are a "kingdom of priests, a holy nation." I wonder if we believe that now. Do we consider ourselves priests? Do we believe we are a holy nation? Our professed faith at our baptism acknowledges that we are to be priestly people. This means we are a people who help to...
You know, Lord, sometimes puzzles are pretty fun to do. Friend Leah mentioned, as we visited, sharing that she remembered her folks doing jigsaw puzzles on their card table, sometimes even on one end of their dining room table - then giggled. She shared that her mom had mentioned that her parents also did those old-time puzzles, as after they had passed, they found several boxes of old jigsaw puzzles in one of their closets. "Mama recalled that Grandma and Grandpa sat close...

The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball club looked to make the most of its return to Legion Field Wednesday night. In a doubleheader against the Lewistown Redbirds, the Northstars played well in front of their home crowd with a 7-1 and a 3-1 victory to sweep the night. After a rough outing at the Harold Gjerde Memorial Tournament, Havre head coach Patch Wirtzberger was happy to see the Northstars rally defensively.
