Members of the Hill County Commission discussed their continued support for the override of Senate Bill 442 veto at their weekly business meeting Thursday, where local legislators also voiced their own support. Senate Bill 442 allocates tax revenue generated from the sale of recreational marijuana to conservation, veteran care and county roads, and was passed in the 2023 Legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support. The bill was vetoed by Gov. Greg Gianforte just before the Senate adjourned, leaving most senators unaware...
by Havre Daily News Staff A Candlelight Prayer Vigil is being held tonight in Box Elder from 6 p.m. to dusk. Participants are encouraged to bring a candle and the name of a recently deceased loved one, regardless of how they met their end. Certified Chaplain G. Bruce Meyers, an organizer for the event, said the event is for anyone surviving a recently deceased loved one, but the shooting deaths of Darrin Wade Bernard-Caplette and Thomas R. “T.R.” Yallup last Thursday in Box Elder spurred on holding this event. “Ev...

During my second tour to Iraq as a U.S. Marine, my unit was tasked to help secure the Syrian border. We had received intel that Iran was sending weapons into Syria to smuggle across the border for use against American troops. At the same time, refugees from all over the country were flooding the border to escape the war. We successfully accomplished the mission of securing the border that deployment. It is an absolute shame the Biden administration will not do the same and is allowing an unsecure southern border in our very...
Sometimes when life gives you lemons, well, you can’t make lemonade when life drops the whole tree on your head, can you? The entire last month has been terrible for my friends, Ana and Michelle. First one of the cats got strange. Cats can be strange, so what! However, when something is wrong, something is wrong. After several visits to the nearest small animal vet in Tala (Havre to Loma), Blue was diagnosed with diabetes and Cushing’s disease. Blue is on medication, blood jab...
We are a house divided against ourselves. The evidence is everywhere. Neighbors are angry with neighbors. Republicans and Democrats accuse each other of treason and stupidity. Our government, churches, colleges and universities, scientific community, corporations and other institutions are subject to abuse and skepticism. People are even asking, “Shall we trade our democracy for authoritarianism?” There is plenty to be angry about. In that sense, the anger is understandable. There are so many problems that we could solve if w...

It’s been over a decade since Colorado and Washington became the first two states to legalize marijuana for adults. With the benefit of hindsight, it’s fair to ask: Has this policy been successful? Absolutely. A policy of legalization, regulation, and education is preferable to a policy of criminalization, stigmatization and incarceration. Let’s be clear. Legalization didn’t create or normalize the marijuana market in the United States. The market was already here. But under a policy of prohibition, this market flourished und...

John 20; 28-29 Out our way, we meet a few tourists along the way and sometimes even celebrities. You may remember the Kevin Costner movie "Dances with Wolves," and a few years back one of the bit players - a kid who went by the moniker "Smiley" because he had been in the movie and smiled a lot in the one scene he was in - well, he came to the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation to talk with the kids at a school program. Impressive - but I got him beat. When pastoring in South Dako...
Welcome to the Season of Eastertide! As I write, there is renewal of life on the prairies and in the mountains. We hear the robins and the meadow larks each morning. We look for the arrival of loons in Beaver Creek Park and snow geese flocking in wheat stubble and a tiny yellow prairie flower are signs of life. (No, I don't mean the dandelion!) For those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere, Easter's resurrection story is reflected in Nature as winter gives way to...
You know, Lord, April has arrived! Since farming is in our background, it's delightful to hear farmers talk about this new season. It's also great to hear them talk about those new baby animals, cute baby bullocks being born. Oh! Listen! It sounds like the birdies have come back. Next, we'll see the trees are about to bud and those lovely tulips are starting to peek up through the ground, oh, and the daffodils also. When we're close to the prairie, we'll see what we call...

One Tuesday noon, we met for lunch, there was an empty seat. A friend joined u...

That's because, weather permitting, the Blue Ponies have a chance to keep a good thing going this weekend.

But first, Havre is set to travel to Lewistown today to battle arch rival Fergus on a conference matchup. Head coach Tony Vigliotti's Blue Ponies...
