The delta variant of COVID-19 is affecting more and more young people as it becomes the dominant strain of the virus in this newest nationwide surge, and the Hi-Line seems to be no exception.

From Aug. 9 to Aug. 22 Hill County...
Big Sky 55+ hosted a discussion in Havre Thursday on the future of the fight to lower prescription drug prices in the U.S. and Montana, especially for those on Medicare Part D.

Our old friend the law of unintended consequences says that actions of people always have effects that are unanticipated or unintended, but basically, it’s just a fancy way of saying “oops.” Like the law of gravity is an explanation used in the science of physics, the law of unintended consequences comes from the social sciences, such as economics and politics (which are frequent bedfellows, though that does not matter for our purposes here today — I’m just sayin’). Historian...

A story about Wednesday’s Hill County Health Board meeting in the Thursday edition of Havre Daily News misattributed a statement at the meeting. Audience member Charlotte Faust was the person who said, “We also have freedom.” The story also misreported details of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for fully vaccinated people. CDC recommends vaccinated people get tested 3-5 days after the date of being exposed to COVID-19 and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days after exposure or until... Full story

Heading into his fourth year leading the Montana State University-Northern football team, head coach Andrew Rolin hopes they take the next step as a program. However, their first step to achieve that goal will be against the College of Idaho, the 19th-ranked team in the nation, at Tilleman Field this Saturday. As the Lights open their season against one of the top teams in the Frontier Conference, Rolin knows they will have to give the Yotes everything they got. "They're...
They say every year is a new year and that will be especially true for the Havre High cross country team as they will now be led by new head coach Erin Lynch. As she takes over the program, she does not plan on making many changes but, instead, hopes to carry on what the program was already doing. "(I want to) maintain what the program was doing before and then build upon it and see how far the kids can go this season," Lynch said. To build the program, Lynch will rely on...
As the calendar turns to fall, high school sports will make their return to Havre. One of those sports will be Havre High volleyball who will begin their season this fall. But instead of opening the year with a single match, they will compete in the tip-off tournament in Sidney where they will play nine teams across two days. With so many matches this weekend, HHS head coach Stephanie Huse hopes to use them to figure out her roster. "My expectation this weekend is that we esta...

Super competitive, good...
Out our way, the best riders are the ones who never give up. They will get thrown and tossed and stomped, but they don't quit. They "cowboy up" and get back in the saddle. Granted, there are some of us who take longer than others - who spend more time on the ground than in the saddle - but though we may never become great riders, we can become adequate. Learning to just keep at it is a good thing in daily life as well as working cattle, and it is amazing how many folks have...
I would like to deliver a couple of ministerial association "shout-outs." This past Saturday, Aug. 21, was the Sixthth Annual Back to School Bash.

Thanks also goes to Trina Crawford and her crew from Salvation Army for facilitating the backpacks distribution. My wife, Susan, and our friend Anita Atkinson helped get the shoes and socks from...
You know, Lord, a while back, rummaging through some papers, up popped an interesting article about oils. "Keeley" wrote that she'd recently begun learning about essential oils and how in ancient times God gave His people these healing oils to use for health. Quoting her: "Aside from enjoying the scents and experiencing their healing power, I've been fascinated to read about the Biblical basis for their use and the documented stories of their success. "I love history, but when...

The Montana State University-Northern Lights have had ceremonies dedicating their brand new on-campus stadium. They've had ribbon-cuttings, they've honored the man it's named after (Mike Tilleman). They've even played two Frontier Conference games there. They've set foot on the turf many, many times now. IN fact, so many times so, that, the stadium isn't really brand new anymore. But, what the Lights haven't done is, plain a Saturday afternoon, in the fall, in front of...
