For two weeks the words of that Christmas song floated through my mind. The chorus won’t leave me alone. Think about it. The whole thing is a strange set up. First angels show up. Then they say, Hey. Dude, chill. Don’t be scared. Think about it. If angels showed up at my door, I don’t care what words they used, I’d be terrified. Typically angels might say they bring good news. But what generally comes into play, at least before anything good happens, think about it, long tr... Full story
We in the newspaper business often spend our time covering the dark side of society — the fires, arrests and political corruption. But we also spend a lot of time dealing with some really great people. Many are the people who stay in the background because that’s the way they want it. They volunteer in the community, they go the extra mile, they help people when no one is watching. They are the last ones to want to be mentioned in the newspaper. As we look back at 2014, we reflect on just some of these people we worked wit... Full story

A few days ago, my wife jokingly asked if I had forgotten the meaning and spirit of Christmas. I’ll admit, at the time, we were having a conversation about Christmas presents. Maybe she wasn’t kidding. But, kidding or not, it certainly got me thinking. Maybe I do lose sight of the spirit of Christmas at times. Maybe we all lose sight of what’s really important at Christmas time. In many ways, it’s comparable to how so many of us lose sight of what sports are all about,... Full story
After dropping two games to open the season the Havre Ice Hawks were back in action this past weekend in search of their first win of the 2014-15 campaign. In the end, it took longer than they hoped, but when the weekend was over, the Ice Hawks got themselves in the win column. Havre played two games on the road against Glasgow Saturday and in the opening game, the Ice Hawks fell just short of their first win falling 7-6 to the Dawgs. But, in the second game, the Ice Hawks bou...
Entering the 2014-15 boys basketball season, the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds were a bit of an afterthought in the District 9C. Part of that had to do with defending Class C state champion Box Elder. New teams like Chester/J-I and Fort Benton/Geraldine also took attention away from the T-Birds. But with players like Sterling White Cow, an All-District player in the 9C and an All-Conference player in the Northern C, the T-Birds have a shot to do some damage. HLP opened the... Full story
