The Harvest Fest begins in Chester today, a now-annual event revived by local resident Peyton Cole, who, in a twist of fate, unexpectedly returned to her hometown during the COVID-19 pandemic and now finds herself the primary organizer for the event. Cole, who works in music production and management, said she went to Missoula for college in 2016 and never expected to return to Chester, but when the pandemic hit and a great deal of her industry shut down she was hurting for...
Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., talked about the prospect of a government shutdown, new military equipment for the Montana National Guard, and his opposition to the U.S. Department of Education's recent push to withdraw funding for bow hunting and gun safety programs in a press call Thursday morning. Tester said the biggest thing on people's minds at the moment is the looming possibility of yet another government shutdown threatened by the Freedom Caucus, a group of hardline...

Some stories should stay hidden and this might be one of that kind. It is ridiculous, embarrassing and impossible. I have three lime trees in my yard. In the backyard, I first planted a key lime. After three naked years and lots of talks, including veiled threats, she began producing limes in profusion. So I planted a regular-type lime in the front yard. It made limes a mere toddler and hasn’t paused yet. So I planted another regular-style lime in back next to the key lime. I...
My name is Andrea Melle. When I turned 18, I went to Havre’s City Hall to cast my first vote. But other than voting in every election, I wasn’t very involved with politics. Over the years, that sure changed. Having two kids with needs in public schools without adequate funding, going through a divorce, being a 24/7 unpaid caregiver, and seeing rights being taken away has made me get involved. I have fought for special ed bills in our public schools, Medicaid Expansion, justice bills, and was lucky enough to have the sup...
It’s no secret that I don’t look like most of my colleagues in Washington, D.C. They don’t run a farm when they’re back home, you won’t find them swapping out duck foot shovels or greasing a combine, and to my knowledge no one else is missing a few fingers from an unlucky childhood run-in with a meat grinder while butchering meat on my family farm. But beyond our differences in appearance, I’m always focused on bringing a healthy dose of Montana common sense and a lifetime of experience living in rural America with me to...
2 Peter 2:1–2 - "But there were false prophets among the people just as there will be false prophets among you who will introduce heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord, and will bring destruction upon themselves. Many will follow them and bring the faith into disrepute. In their greed they will exploit you, but their condemnation hangs over them." Out our way, although four-wheelers and trucks do a good deal of cow work these days, a good cow pony is still important. C...
I'm not much of a gardener, let me make that clear. But last year I decided to at least give gardening a try. So I started out small and was encouraged by my moderate success. A few peas. A collection of lettuce from a netted garden box (to guard against those ravenous grasshoppers). But, oh, the tomatoes! After a summer's-worth of homegrown salads I had more of those juicy red gems than my family could eat. So my ventures in gardening grew into explorations in canning. And...

You know Lord, You are the Creator - so you know that autumn arrives on Saturday, according to several of the calendars hanging around here. Several friends have mentioned that, to them, it's a yearly relief from those muggy mid-90s that they have had, and now the cool breeze is inviting them, and maybe us, outside because the sun no longer seems so hot and angry. You know that we probably all grow a little weary of each season toward its end, but the beginning of every new...
"If you've been walking the same old road for miles and miles; if you've been hearing the same old voice, tell the same old lies; if you're trying to fill the same old holes inside, there's a better life. There's a better life. If you've got pain, He's a pain taker. If you feel lost, He's a way maker. If you need freedom or saving, He's a prison shaking Savior. If you have chains, He's a chain breaker." Fifth Avenue Christian Church invites every lady and teenage girl on the...
