Last week, amid sweltering heat and arid conditions, the Chippewa Cree Tribe of Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation was grappling with a shortage of available drinking water. Chippewa Cree Tribal Water Resources Director Dustin White said July 10 that the water situation on the reservation was critical. Water levels within the reservation's water storage tanks had only 4 or 5 feet of water remaining. Unless people took measures to conserve water, the entire reservation would have...
Since the detection of invasive mussels in the fall of 2016 in Tiber and Canyon Ferry reservoirs, a new offshoot division of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has been created to combat further spreading and to catch violators. FWP's statewide response to halting the spread of invasive mussels began mid-April, actions consisting mainly of mandatory checks for all boats leaving Tiber or Canyon Ferry reservoirs.

Today I would like to take a departure from my usual frivolous subject matter to touch on the serious topic of people’s worth, specifically, the value of my own life. How much is my life worth? Is it worth, for example, $750? When I was a small child, I was worthless for earning any wages or being productive in any helpful way. I was, as most babies are, a burden. I was not special in this way. Perhaps if I had been a pretty child or one who made people feet compelled to s...

If you’ve ever done much reading in the Gospels — that is, the first four books of the New Testament — you’ve probably noticed Jesus was a master storyteller. Someone would ask him a question and he would reply by telling a story (or a parable, if you will). Why did he do that? We may not know for certain but I suspect there are at least a few reasons. First, almost everyone can understand a story, regardless of one’s age, background or level of education. Isn’t that why children so often plead with their parents, “T...
You know, Lord, sometimes while looking for one thing, another thing pops up that catches our attention. This newly found item, a thank you note to God, surely seemed to be quite appropriate; just sharing with others, Lord. The author is unknown: Dear God, thank you for the obvious, thank you for what we take for granted, thank you for your creation of all things. Thank you for now. Thank you for making me what I am — help me to become what I should be, in you. Thank you for church financial problems — to draw us closer to...
Out our way, the young sometimes have to learn things the hard way. Young Snowball was a frisky colt that ignored aunt Babe's warning about fences. Babe might run full tilt toward the paddock when the hay was being tossed in, but she slowed down and stopped before she hit the barbed wire. I don't recall seeing cuts and scars on her, so she must have learned from her elders about fences. But poor Snowball, like many other reckless youths, ignored her example, disdained her...
The Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team was hoping that home field would be an advantage when it comes to ending a Northern A District Tournament drought dating back more than three years. The Lethbridge Miners instead made it seem like Havre was home. On Thursday night, in the final game of the opening round of the 2017 Northern A District Tournament, the fifth-seeded Miners battered the fourth-seeded North Stars 16-0 inside Legion Field. The loss sends Havre...
The Great Northern Ram Open Rodeo has been a two-day event in recent years, but this year, the rodeo fit everything into one day. Yet, even though all the action was packed into one night, there was absolutely no dip in the excitement level. With great purses and in some events, the chance to enter twice, the Great Northern Ram Open Rodeo attracted high-caliber cowboys and cowgirls from across Montana to take part in the annual rodeo inside the arena at the Great Northern...
