  • Storms bring hail, rain, but drought remains

    Tim Leeds|Updated Jul 7, 2022

    Clashing weather patterns have brought storms to the area that released damaging hail and short, heavy rains showers, but not enough to overcome the moisture deficit that has covered this part of the area in drought. National Weather Service Meteorologist Paul Nutter in Great Falls said Thursday morning that reports came in of nickel-sized hail 9 miles west-southwest of Havre, 2-inch hail 5 miles west of town and tennis ball-sized hail 8 miles west.

    Patrick Johnston|Updated Jul 7, 2022

  • From the Fringe … Why did we change the way we use fireworks in Havre?

    George Ferguson|Updated Jul 7, 2022
    1

    If it ain’t broke, why fix it? That’s an honest question, and one that can apply to a lot of different things. For me, it applies to Havre’s policy on Fourth of July fireworks in the city limits. I just don’t understand what was wrong with the way we as Havreites did it for so many years. Of course, for so many locals, what I’m about to say won’t be popular, but being a columnist isn’t about winning popularity contests, it’s about offering up an opinion, and here’s mine. I...

  • Looking out my Backdoor: Memories … thoughts … changes

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Jul 7, 2022

    Why do memories come to visit, often at inopportune times? I’ve questions but no answers. I distinctly remember once telling a minimalist friend how much I admired her way of life. An entire bare wall with one picture. A vase with one sprig of flower. “But I know me. I couldn’t be minimalist in my surroundings. I like it. I just can’t do it.” My home was never cluttered. But wherever one cast one’s eyes, one would find a vignette of simple beauty. That’s my passion. Maki...

  • View from the North 40: It's not even the school of hard knocks

    Pam Burke|Updated Jul 7, 2022

    Man oh man, has the Supreme Court of the United States of America, land of the free, really taken it on the chin, from mostly liberals, over some of their home-of-the-brave decisions they’ve made lately. But all this angst is clouding people’s thinking. The most recent SCOTUS decisions have fallen like a one-two punch bellow the belt for separation of church and state, or at least church and state-funded schools. June 27 the justices ruled, 6-3, that a Bremerton, Was...

  • George Ferguson: Thankful we still have our Griz and Cats, because bigtime college football is getting to be nothing but a money-grabbing circus

    George Ferguson|Updated Jul 7, 2022

    I wasn’t going to care too much about the latest shake ups in college football. After all, I’ve known for some time now that, to so many powers that be, Power 5 college football is now nothing more than just a gigantic money grab. That’s been that way for a while. It isn’t about collegiate athletics anymore, and it sure as hell isn’t about education. So, while I don’t just look the other way, and have strong feelings about what major college football has become, I try my best...

  • Out Our Way: Don't mess with my beloved! - Zechariah 2:7-9

    Updated Jul 7, 2022

    Out our way, it is not unusual to find folks making lifelong friendships, and we see it in critters as well. When I would arrive at the paddock, Doc would usually come up to the gate, ears alert and sometimes whinney a greeting. Yes, we had a bond - but that was nothing compared to the attachment he had to his paddock mate, Babe. Now Babe was a small, absolutely beautiful sorrel paint mare that Doc adored. As she was deathly afraid of cows, she stayed behind when Doc and I...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Jul 7, 2022

    You know Lord, it is so great to see sunflowers - they sprout in a carefree manner all over the world. Pollinated by bees, the plants spring up on the sides of highways, under bird feeders, and across fields, in meadows, and also in prairies. If we plant the seeds to produce a harvest, however, sunflowers need good soil. Well-drained, slightly acidic, nutrient-rich soil "with organic matter or composed," says the Farmer's Almanac, finally produces tasty sunflower seeds, pure...

  • Pastor's Corner: Independence Day thoughts -  Luke 10:1-11, 16-20

    Updated Jul 7, 2022

    We tend to like heroes. But Jesus shows us what happens when ordinary people sign up for cross-bearing discipleship. The results are anything but ordinary. It's an unforgettable photo. The raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. In fact, if you had to pick 10 photographs to tell the story of our country, this one featuring U.S. soldiers lifting up the American flag would be one of them, never mind that it was a posed re-enactment of the real thing. Iwo Jima is a dot in the Pacific...
