Matt Ladenburg of the Montana Department of Transportation said Thursday that a reader board warning of the presence of cattle will be stationed at the south end of 5th Avenue.

One of my horses is kind of loaned out to a ranch right now, and it’s like having a disturbance in the Force to be missing one of the living beings in my life. The two horses I have left are rocking the adjustment like, well, horses. This means, they ran around frantically for 15 minutes, whinnied loudly and regularly for maybe three hours, whinnied occasionally for another 10 hours and then they moved on to jockeying for position in the discussion over who would be in c...
For the ninth year in a row, shotgun shooters, most of them from Havre, came together to fire into the night in the Moonlight Shoot at the Havre Trap Club. Club President Jim Bachini wasn't sure how many shooters had signed up for last Friday evening's shootout, but he guessed about 30. Bachini also guessed the origins of the Havre Trap Club may go back to sometime in the 1950s. "It's been around for as long as I can remember," he said. What he did know for sure is that the...

You know, Lord, it was one of those summer nights when drapes are left wide and windows are thrown open. It was one of those summer dawns when the sun peeps over the distant hills about 6 a.m. One can become so accustomed to what seems normal, that the actual happening of it all is missed. At this dawning, birds were softly sounding alarms, their melody growing ever stronger until this sleepy head was awake enough to go look out the window. Ah! A wide grey shadow appeared to stretch across the eastern sky. It isn’t really nig...
The widow at the auction held her head up high, A heart so full of memories but she didn’t dare to cry. Looking out the window at the faces in the sun Folks were milling toward the garage, the auction had begun. At home now no children, as they’d long since grown and gone. She had been so all alone since the funeral of her John. Her reverie was broken as the gavel pounded “SOLD!” Things that once had meant so much now just left her cold. There: the writing desk and chair, floor lamps, beds and such, Then bowls and plates,...

We have experienced the loss of loved ones and the birth of babies. As we age, we sometimes reflect on our legacy. The Bible teaches us that a Godly man leaves an inheritance to his children and grandchildren. That inheritance may be...
Mark 7:3-37 Raised in the Bear Paws until I bought him, Goliath had a few encounters with the unknown that spooked him. One that nearly led to him setting off his launch codes was the first time he came across one of those plastic bags folks use to bring home their groceries. My friend Rick calls them, "prarire jelly fish," for they float across the grass in the wind just as a Portugese Man-O-War floats on the waves in the ocean. The prairie variety have no stinging...

Last weekend, Northern opened its season at the Big Sky Tournament in Butte and lost three of four matches. But, this week, the Skylights will have a chance to rebound and to get that chance, they traveled all the way to Bellevue, Nebraska, to take part in the prestigious Bellevue College Tournament this weekend.

It takes a good football team to win on the road. The Havre High football team was able to do it last week against the defending state champs and, if the Blue Ponies can do it for the second straight week, it could be a good sign of things to come. But to win Havre will need to beat Hardin, a scrappy team from the Eastern A, which despite winning just one game a season ago, has its eye on the making the Class A state playoffs. The Bulldogs beat Browning 40-6 in last week’s sea...
