For the first time in many years, Michael Mezmer is back at the Great Northern Fair, peforming his DangerMagik Magic Phenomena and TranceNosis Comedy Hypnosis shows.

"I had great audiences and a whole lot of fun so I'm excited to be back here, I've been wanting to come back for many many years," he said. Mezmer said the pandemic definitely affected his shows, but...
Art in the Garden Tour 2022, a Havre Art Association sponsored event, will have artwork from local artists displayed among three backyards, in the Havre community, that are works of art themselves, and the public is invited to take the tour Sunday from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Art Association member and event co-organizer Ginnie Streeper said the artists and homeowners are excited to be holding the event again this year, and she feels that the yards really demonstrate a variety of what...
The Hill County Commission heard an objection to the appointment of Marci Bergren as interim director of the Hill County Council on Aging.

Linda Rennick, who volunteers at North Central Senior Citizens Center, said she’s been volunteering and been working with the Council on Aging that runs the center for 16 years, and she has concerns about Bergren becoming interim director w...

OK, I tried to stay out of it, I had a whole column planned about the pitfalls of the most adult activity of my life, then a political candidate from Missoula threw out the right bait at the right time and now I’ve been lured into the Roe v. Wade free-for-all debate. A bear can resist only so many garbage cans, and I could not resist the lure of this anti-abortion regulation argument: Rep. Brad Tschida, R-Missoula, who is running for Senate District 49, said in an email to m...
Yes, it’s a great place to live (for me) but you wouldn’t want to visit. I’ve been accused of having a Paradise Complex, but it is not true. I’ve been told Paradise is full of snakes and liars and have no reason to either believe it or not believe it. Nope. I live in a dusty little cow-town, farm village in Mexico and though I often say I live in Paradise, I mean Paradise for me. For me. Amen. And Awomen. When Dr. Landazari, eye specialist, who lives in Mazatlan, the Pearl of...
If there’s one thing that Montanans can agree on, it’s our fondness for wildlife. From eagles and ospreys to bull elk and bighorn sheep, we still have plenty of what so much of the country has lost. These natural riches are partly why we’re known as the Last Best Place. But it wasn’t always this way. By the early decades of the 20th century, market hunting, poaching and habitat loss had driven many species to the brink of extinction. Then, in 1937, hunters asked the federal government to tax the sales of guns and ammunit...
With the primary elections in the rearview mirror, most of us have a good idea who’ll represent us in the Montana Legislature come January. A new legislature means new ideas and, of course, recycled ideas from past sessions. The only thing our citizen legislature is required to do is balance a budget, but darn near every politician has an agenda. Their ideas got them this far and they’re going to go to Helena and create change … or something. It’s in that spirit that I’m writing this letter to all the returning and likely ne...

Who wouldn’t want to get paid for doing nothing? Or better yet, what if you could get paid by your job, even if you’re terrible at it? Get paid huge sums of money to screw up, to not be good, to not even try. For a lot of people, that sounds pretty good. But for a diehard golf fan, that doesn’t interest me whatsoever, and to me, that’s what the new LIV Tour is all about. From what I’ve seen so far, the LIV Tour is paying some of the greatest golfers on the plant to literally p...
Out our way, some folks love to go "boot scootin'" on a Saturday night. Dancing was never something I could do well as I have what my percussionist son calls "Rhythm Deficit Disorder" - also known as "two left feet." Well, as bad as that may be, it's nothing compared to Ole Doc who has "four left hooves." More than once I have been tossed when Doc managed to trip himself up while on the canter or gallop and I sort of found myself airborne. The guy I rented the paddock from...
You know you're worshipping with children when that question immediately follows a reading of the creation story from Genesis - and the question is entirely serious. This week, five Havre churches came together to put on Vacation Bible School. First Presbyterian, Messiah Lutheran, St. Jude Catholic Church, Van Orsdel United Methodist, and First Lutheran Church hosted kiddos from across our community to learn about "God Beyond Measure." The curriculum taught five aspects of...
You know, Lord, it was precious to see a gentleman help a young lady gather her two little kids and help them into church while she carried a baby. He helped them cross the parking lot, helped keep them together, while their Daddy parked the car. The gentleman asked the little girl where she was going; she said, " ... to church and Sunday school, 'cause teacher is going to tell us how to shine for Jesus." He smiled, took her hand, as she was headed in the wrong direction; Mama...
