KEVIN FREKING and MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The Senate passed a $1.2 trillion package of spending bills in the early morning hours today, a long overdue action nearly six months into the budget year that will push any threats of a government shutdown to the fall. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. The vote was 74-24. It came after funding had expired for the agencies at midnight, but the White House sent out a notice sho...

Emergency responders were called to the crash on U.S. Highway 2 near mile marker 420 at 1:30 p.m. Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Matt Erickson said that at the time of the crash both visibility and road conditions were poor due to heavy snowfall.

by Emily Mayer One of the fun things about reading the newspapers from 100 years ago are the gatherings included in the society column.

This article was published in the March 16, 1924, edition of the Havre Daily Promoter: NOBLE GRAND CIRCLE MEETS The Past Noble Grand’s circle met at the home of Mrs. Ruby Dexter Thursday...
Dear editor, “The true measure of any society is found in how it treats its most vulnerable members” — M.

Our ability to safely and compassionately care for older adults, persons who are cognitively or physically impaired, mentally ill persons and students is strained. A solution being offer...
I have perfected English muffins. What that means is that I got hungry for English muffins, not available on the shelves of any tienda in town. I made my first batch, which exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately for me, I made the breadly goodness on a social day and within a couple hours had none left. I called that batch “Thing One.” I’d eaten one hot off the griddle with butter and jam but wanted a breakfast sandwich muffin on the order of the classic from the Golde...

Luke 10:25-37 Out our way, livestock can sometimes surprise you. While I won't say they have human emotions and such, there are times I wonder. The mama cow who "babysits" for the rest of the cows while they graze or go down to the water for a "girls day out." Sometimes people show as much consideration for each other, although sadly it is not as common. Back in seminary, I was introduced to a Jewish scholar and writer named Martin Buber who survived the holocaust. He often...

You can read three versions of this story in Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3-9 and John 12:1-8. As the rumors and the rumblings of the Pharisees and the religious leaders hinted at Jesus' death, the dark clouds of fear and sadness gathered over Jesus' disciples. One woman, not wanting to wait until he died to express her love, anointed him at Bethany with expensive perfume [see the parallel passage in John 12:1-8, where the woman is identified as Mary, sister of Martha and...
You know, Lord, Palm Sunday years ago was a bit different then it is today. Several of us were together, Susie smiled and shared: "When I was just a little kid, I remember one Palm Sunday when the Pastor mentioned there were some palms 'twigs' by the back door; that each one of us should each go get one. As we did, someone pushed the piano toward the backwall and a door opened. Helen kept playing lovely music. One young guy took the lead of us with palms, we followed out the f...

By Havre Daily Staff Last tennis season was a tough one for the Havre Blue Ponies, and first-year head coach Jeff Miller. First, there was brutal winter weather that just wouldn't go away, putting the Ponies way behind from the get-go. Then, there was the monumental coaching change at HHS, as Miller took over for his former head coach George Ferguson, who retired from HHS tennis after 20 years at the helm. Needless to say, none of it was easy for Miller. However, as spring...
