By TIm Leeds Shortly after 8 a.m. this morning, Deputy Hill County Attorney Karen Alley was appointed the new Hill County attorney. Hill County Commission Chair Mark Peterson and Commissioner Diane McLean voted unanimously to accept the resignation of County Attorney Jessica Cole Hodgkinson and appointed Alley, who was the sole deputy for the last few months, as the new county attorney. Peterson asked the public to be patient as Alley worked to catch up on a backlog in the...
This week we continue to look at material from the book "Managing God's Money" by Randy Alcorn. James 5:1-5 Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you on the...
You know, Lord, it's summertime! There is "music" in the air, be it morning, noon or night; if we listen, we can hear Your song. You direct Your love toward us through family, friends, scenery, to name only a few ways. Your love for us through songs, reminds us of several young chaps who have a real talent for singing and playing instruments. Not every musician plays more than one instrument as most are usually gifted and brilliant on only one or two instruments. That's...
Out our way, folks are usually more concerned with living the faith than with arguing over words and other trivialities. For example, when reciting the Lord's Prayer - some folks say "trespasses" while others say "debts." And sometimes they get so caught up in the wording that they ignore the meaning. Back in seminary, we had a joke about that very thing. We had both Episcopalian and Methodists in school as well as Presbyterians, so, as the Episcopal and their Methodist...
In 1611, Lutheran pastor and theologian Johann Gerhard wrote "A great part of Christian wisdom consists of the constant contemplation of death. It is appointed for all to die; but to die with piety, to die in Christ, to die happily is not for everyone." Gerhard lived at a time when the imminence of death was more pronounced than in our own time. In fact, while he wrote this devotional book for those near death, his newborn son died. His wife, likewise, died less than a month...
Hill County knew how to rise to the call to war "over there" and Havreites knew how to send them off in style, as described in the July 27, 1918, edition of The Havre Plaindealer. A very large article on the front page gave the names of every young man leaving for camp to learn to be a soldier or sailor, and another very lengthy article detailed the send-off celebration. "Serious throngs" lined the streets to watch the parade, which included Miss Edith M. Pyper, little...
Having not forgotten the lessons I learned as your Public Service Commissioner for eight years, I always read with interest the reports on what the two current candidates for PSC District #1 are saying to the voters in their campaign. I was startled and appalled at the complete disregard for the facts demonstrated by one of those two candidates when he promised a heavenly nirvana of low cost electricity and high government revenues by building coal-fired plants on the Hi-Line...

"The EU development, I think, is very positive," Daines said from Washington during a telephone press conference. Trump announced Wednesday that trade negotiations will proceed with the EU with the goal of establishing free and fair trade agreements, in addition to creating zero...
Linda Ferguson stood in the sunshine at the deserted Great Northern Fairgrounds chatting with someone through a truck's window, gathering information about her fourth-grade class for this year. "We were talking about, 'How many kids do I have this year,' you know, 'Anybody new?'" Ferguson said with enthusiasm and giggled. "This is the time of year that you start asking those questions.'" She was referring to her job at St. Jude Thaddeus School, where she said she has held a...

A man walked into a Planet Fitness in Plaistow, New Hampshire, last weekend, stripped to his nothings at the front door, paced a few laps in the exercise area naked, checked himself out in the mirror naked, then staked a claim on a yoga mat where officers found him still buck naked in a "yoga-type position," Plaistow police Capt. Brett Morgan told several news outlets. Morgan also said that the guy's only comment to officers who came to arrest him was to say that he thought...
If football games are won in the trenches, then there’s no question teams need to be very good along the defensive line. And while styles vary in football, with defensive schemes ranging from 4-3, to 3-4, to 3-3-5, one thing remains constant, the better the defensive line is, the better the defense is. The Frontier Conference has always been known for producing stout defensive linemen, and this fall, things should be no different. However, for the Montana State U...
Almost a year ago to the day, I sat in front of my computer and wrote a column thanking Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament for promoting the sport of skateboarding. That column was dedicated to just how much Jeff, a native of Big Sandy, not only loves and cares about the sport, but does all he can to help make sure youths have opportunities to not only take up the sport, but to learn to love it as much as he does. Fast forward one year, and I am sitting in front of my laptop, just a f...
The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team got off to a blistering start in their Northern A District Tournament opener Thursday in Conrad against Lethbridge. Unfortunately, a fast start wasn’t enough to get a victory, as the Miners rallied for the 9-5 win. The key point in the game came in the fifth inning. In the top half of the fifth, the Northstars tied the game at 5-5, when Austin Delarosa walked and eventually scored on an error. However, the score wouldn’t stay...
