Havre native Pamela Emard has sewn nine handmade quilts to give to children in Ukraine suffering from the effects of Russia's invasion, but is now trying to find a way to get them there. Emard said her mother was a first-generation immigrant to American and their family is primarily of Hungarian and Czech descent, so war in that part of the world hits her a little closer to home than most, so she said she immediately started giving money to relief efforts. Within a few months...

The students even got a pet or two in. "In Native American cultures, horses...

"I am the Lord your God hold your right hand. It is I who say, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'" Out our way you seldom hear old-fashioned cowboy expressions that, except in Hollywood movies and old western songs, have largely gone out of fashion. For example, the word "dogie" - pronounced DOE-GHEE for you tender feet. The term refers to a motherless or neglected calf. Back in the days of the trail drives and such, calves often got separated and had to be found. Nowadays,...
Last summer, at our Montana Assemblies of God Family Camp in Hungry Horse, I heard a worship song titled "Same God." I remember turning to our church's worship team leader and saying, "We've got to do this song at our church." Three weeks ago, we started teaching this song to our congregation. To help with this process, I decided to preach a sermon series based on this song. So far, I have preached two sermons in this series. Here is a "short" synopsis of those two sermons....
A brand-new day, full week ahead, Birthdays most every day! Each one of you, we hope the best for Happy Jolly Day. Most are our friends, and aunties, three! Some cousins mixed in too. All are good cooks, desserts they loved, Aunt "K" made the best stew! Two Aunties left in the '60s, some cousins flew off too. But we're still here, God has a plan, we still have work to do. Some twins were born, though miles away - their favorite fruit, a peach! And several guys also showed up,...
As our district and our community pay tribute to Craig Mueller Saturday, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, something I wish I could have said more often. Craig was an incredible ambassador for Havre Public Schools, and as someone who has coached in the district for 20-plus years now, I couldn’t be more appreciative for the way he worked diligently to help make HPS and everything within our system what it is today. I got to know Craig first as a principal...
Turns out, change can be like fertilizer for the brain. I was in a rut. Then I moved into a home that’s very much under construction, and now life is a struggle to achieve an average, everyday level of existence. The drama from last week continues, but we’re better fed. The biggest update on our move into the home construction zone is that we now have a stove. I know it’s rude to brag, but I just have to gush about the fact that the stove has an oven, too. We’re trying to stay grounded, cook simple foods that the common...
Michelle, knowing me to be, shall we say, frugal, loaned me a copy of a reprinted book entitled “The American Frugal Housewife.” The book, written by Lydia Child, was first published in 1833. Dedicated to Those Who Are Not Ashamed of Economy. In caps. Mrs. Child wrote the lyrics, but was not well known, but wrote a song for children, “Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go.” Anyone my generation knows that song. I’m sure you youngsters can find it o...

But after four straight semifinal appearances, the Pioneers will finally play in the state championship game this weekend.

This winter, the Hawks will be under the leadership of new head coach Sean Preputin, who expects the team to have a strong season this year. "My expectations are pretty high," Preputin said. "We are a pretty young team overall but our core group of players is pretty strong so I think we're going to...
