Havre's Air Fair Saturday has added an aerobatic demonstration to the events, put on by Brittanee Lincoln and Craig Gifford. They are both on the US National Aerobatic Team, and they compete for the United States at the World Aerobatic Championships, which is their equivalent to the Olympics. Lincoln was born and raised in Montana. When Lincoln was just 3 weeks old, her grandfather, Roger Lincoln, took her up in his Cessna 180. She is a fourth-generation pilot, and the first f...

Dear editor, I’m not too thrilled about the recent announcement by the White House that they are moving forward on setting Medicare prices for 10 prescription drugs. This is an unapologetically partisan move by the Biden administration and it could have long-lasting, negative implications for patients like me. I understand the intent is to lower prescription costs, but this is the wrong way to do it. Prescription price-setting policies could limit access to many drugs available today while at the same time chipping away at t...
Dear Editor, Let’s talk about the “insurrection clause” of the Constitution. Lawyers and judges can argue “the letter of the law” until blue in the face as to whether this provision disqualifies Donald Trump from holding office again. But how about “the spirit of the law”? The spirit of the law looks at what the law is really trying to get at. Do you think our highly moral Founding Fathers would qualify Donald Trump for a second term of office even if they had no idea about the outcome of his four criminal trials? In ot...
I was excited. I had just signed the papers and prepaid for a cremation plan. It is the sensible thing to do. I live in Mexico. I, no doubt, will die in Mexico. Dying in Mexico is a hassle when one’s family and citizenship are elsewhere. For one thing, the customs are different. If one dies on a Monday, one’s body is washed and dressed for viewing on Tuesday and the funeral and burial are Wednesday. Or even Tuesday. I live in a tiny retirement community. Most of the year, the...
It’s fairly common knowledge that Montana’s legislative branch of government is a citizen legislature that only meets in session for 90 business days every two years. While true, those facts often lead to misconceptions about the real nature of legislators’ work. In reality, the Legislature works year round. Being an effective legislator is much closer to full-time public service than a part-time job. Constituents regularly contact their elected representatives looking for assistance, asking about various laws, and pitch...
Out of touch national politicians are at it again. It was recently announced that the budget being proposed for the 2024 federal fiscal year for Amtrak by the House Appropriations Committee would slash the national passenger rail service’s budget by 64% from the budget that was enacted last year. According to Amtrak’s CEO, Amtrak will have to “radically reduce or suspend” service on its long-distance routes, which includes the Empire Builder, which serves 12 communities along the Hi-Line, including Havre. Amtrak is a critical...

Isaiah 57:2 "Those who walk uprightly enter into peace" Out our way, we know about switching leads. At the canter it is important for the horse to know its leads. The top horses can switch leads and keep the gait smooth. Unfortunately, not all horses seem able to do so. Doc, whose right lead is not the best in the world, has never been able to get his left lead down. How many folks do you know who have two left feet? Ah! Meet Doc, who has four of them! Doc has never really...
(See Habakkuk 2:1-2) It's a vivid picture: A walled city in vast, open countryside. A tower high above from which one can see all around. Is the enemy approaching or is that a band of shepherds? Is that solitary traveler a saint or a spy? The prophet Habakkuk says he is like one who stands watch. Like a guard in the tower, he has issued a challenge to God: He wonders what God will say about corruption, strife and injustice that the prophet has witnessed in the nation of Judah...

You know Lord, looking back to a time in our life, to someone who encouraged and helped us along our way, Lord, You may be calling us to do the same for someone in our life who might need a bit of help, cheer or even some praise right now. "K.A.," a former neighbor, shared how her special three sisters encouraged each other, no matter that they didn't live near each other. It's been a long while ago, but thinking about them, one of them became a teacher, one became a docor,...
Coming off a tough loss to Billings Central last weekend, the Havre High football team hopes to play better tonight at home against the Miles City Cowboys.
