Ward 3 resident James D. “J.D.” Cass will run for City Council in the fall election. Cass filed with the Hill County Clerk and Recorder’s office Wednesday, setting up a contest with Caleb Hutchins, who filed earlier in the week.

Havre is still a great place to live. I hope to make it even better.” For the first time, elections wil...
Two recipients of annual awards handed out by the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce’s Ag Committee were shocked when their awards were announced.

I intend to unload some of my philosophy on you. I’ll call it the gospel (small “g”) according to me (small “m”). I am not important enough to rate a big “M.” So if you want to take this page right now and go wrap potato peelings and fish guts, my little feelings will not be hurt. What started me wading through the murky philosophical pool was a six-way conversation among women, friends, all of an age. A year ago I closed a door on a chapter in my life and opened a vast...
I would like to take this time to go on record as formally declaring that hot weather sucks. I know, that’s pretty strong language for not a very profound revelation. In my defense, though, if I were allowed, my column today would consist of the headline, my photo retouched digitally to look as if I were actually melting and these words in the largest, boldest print possible: “Hot Weather Sux.” Yes, I would abbreviate “sucks” because then I would have more room to make the...

Rozanne Warwick, 72, died of complications from Alzheimer's while the sun was rising June 29, 2015.
