After months of hard work, it is finally time for the Montana State University-Northern football team under new head coach Jerome Souers to play in front of home fans at Tilleman Field. The Lights will look to win their first game of the season as they are set to play Southern Oregon University this Saturday. The Lights are coming off a 31-3 loss to College of Idaho on the road to start the year, so Souers hopes to see improvement this weekend. "When you look at any season,...
The Havre High football got the season started on the right foot with a tough 13-7 win over Sidney on the road last week.

The Hill County Commission approved a $669,300 bid for improvements to the RSID 29 and 30 Lift Station in North Havre, a project with a price tag that has expanded significantly due to inflation, but one that can still be covered by American Rescue Plan Act funds. The commission has been working for years to improve the efficiency of lift stations in North Havre to get ahead of any potential environmental or health-related dangers but the upgrades were expensive projects and required significant time and investment to make...

Thank you Havre, thank you Hi-Line, that’s really all that needs to be said. Thank you. I’m saying thank you because, as many of you know, the Havre Daily News went through a difficult portion of the summer where our press required a major repair. As the old saying goes, you can live without a lot of things when putting out a newspaper, but a printing press isn’t one of them. During the almost two months our press was down, we did the absolute best we could to still bring...
Sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who understands your condition. For instance, I have specific criteria to meet before protocols trigger a call to speak with a medical person. My doctor knows through experience I don’t call to see her for any old problem because she practiced medical due diligence, and asked one day why I waited so long before coming in. And I was, like, Hey, doc, I call for three reasons: 1) I’m off my feed. If I can’t stomach food, I’m critical. 2) I have something that registers in my mind as we...
What a week. When my son flew back to Washington, along with a bundle of two-foot long cinnamon sticks for gifts to friends, he took my energy. I wasn’t worried. I knew that the following day my supply would be replenished. Sure enough, the next day I flew into a cleaning frenzy. Order was soon restored but I have a question. Where does order hide out that it needs to be restored? At the Orderaria, of course, Spanglish for the Order Store. You know, like “carneceria” (meat...
BIRCH CREEK — One summer evening when my daughter was a toddler, I took her by the hand and walked into the backyard to water the garden, when our dog began to bark like mad. I looked up and saw a grizzly bear on the other side of the garden. I had only a second to think, and since the dog had the bear occupied, I scooped up my daughter and dashed back in the house. That’s what life is like when you live with grizzlies. My husband and I run Angus cattle and quarter horses on our family place on Birch Creek, along the Roc...

Those of you who are regular readers of "Out our Way" may recall the story of "Junior," that young and smallish Charolais bull that disappeared one day. It was after the mating season and the bulls were no longer fighting each other - in fact, they hung out together away from the main herd in what Charlie and I called "The Good Ole Boys' Club." Well, it was now early fall and time to start moving the cattle down from the summer pasture to the winter one, and as we gathered...
When a holiday is approaching, It is often easy for pastors and other religious leaders to bemoan the appropriation and secularization of that given holiday. Most holidays have spiritual or religious origins or bases. Labor Day, however, is not one of those holidays. It was established to celebrate the hard work and societal contributions made by the working class in the United States. The first Labor Day was celebrated in 1882 and was made a federal holiday by President...
