It's time for us to heal and start putting things back together where they belong. I think the only way we're going to do that is with our new council and you guys." The only council member...
A test of communications equipment between law enforcement officials from the United States and Canada will take place Monday and Tuesday. Hill County Sheriff Don Brostrom said that this exercise, Canada-U.S. Enhanced Resiliency Experiment, or CAUSE, will be a functional one. “We are putting on a communications scenario — it’s to simulate a wildland fire that kind of gets out of control that crosses from the Wild Horse side to the Willow Creek side and then into the U.S.,” Brostrom said. This is to see if the U.S. and Can...

People considering adopting children face some pitfalls and many opportunities. And most potential parents have lots of questions about what path they should take if they want to adopt children.

The following is a sampling of news items and information bites that we , the ever-vigilant here in the Pamville Newsroom, felt compelled to share — and comment on: News agencies in the San Fransisco Bay area are reporting that a semitrailer overturned on the freeway, spilling more than 25,000 pounds of frozen turkeys onto the pavement. Though the turkeys were still contained in their shipping boxes, federal regulations prohibit stores from selling foods which have been in maj...
Laurel — The American Society of Civil Engineers did a study of Montana’s infrastructure. It came to the obvious conclusion. the state of Montana’s roads and public infrastructure is pretty sad. We suspect if they did a detailed study of the state of the infrastructure on the Hi-Line, the report would be just as bad or worse. Having a quality infrastructure would do much to improve the state’s chances of attracting new businesses and new jobs. It also makes life far more pleasant for residents. It’s time the federal g...

With nothing big on the line, the annual showdown between the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats would still be the biggest event to take place in the Treasure State year after year. But that's never the case anyway. No, when the Bobcats and Grizzlies meet in the annual Brawl of the Wild, the stakes are always high. And the 114th edition of the Cat-Griz game, which takes place Saturday in Missoula, is no different. The No. 12 Bobcats (8-3, 6-1) and No. 13 Grizzlies (7...

The Lights (6-2) are in Caldwell, Idaho, for games against Northwest Nazarene College tonight, and North Idaho College Saturday...

The auditions for "Nine Circles," Montana Actors' Theatre's January production, had people cold-test lines for a chance to be in the show. "Nine Circles" is a play about a man who fought in Operation Desert Storm and is accused of committing war crimes. Jay Pyette, the principal director of MAT, said that there was a lot that drove him to choose this script. "One is that it's this powerhouse role for an actor," Pyette said. Chad Zuelke was already cast as the lead character,...

Buckle Up Montana Coalition With the holidays upon us and many Montanans hitting the roads, Buckle Up Montana wants everyone to arrive safely at their destinations. The coalition wants drivers and passengers alike to remember to buckle up every trip, every time. Many people over-indulge in holiday goodies and loosen their belts a little after dinner, but they should remember there’s nothing that should keep them from tightening their seat belt when they get in a motor vehicle. The potential consequences are just too great tur...
Greetings from the Havre-Hill County Library. We hope the library is something you can be thankful for as Thanksgiving approaches. This week we at the library are thankful for the Havre-Hill County Library Foundation Board, which has helped us fund a project that we’ve been considering for a long time. We are going to digitize all of our back copies of the Havre Daily News, from 2013 all the way back to 1927. Libraries should always be on the cutting edge of technology, and microfilm is no longer considered the cutting e...
John Bruington Out our way, most of us know the joke, "What do you get when you play a country western song backward?" You get your wife back, your dog back, your horse back, and your truck back. But sometimes that record doesn't go in reverse and you just keep losing one part of your life after another. As some of you know, I am presently dealing with my life as a country western song that just keeps going on and on. In addition to all the rest, I have also spent the past...
John Chapman As we recognized Veterans Day last week, recalling those who have served our county including those who laid down their lives for our freedoms, I am reminded of Jesus’ praise in Matthew 8:5-10, “Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘I will come and heal him.’ The centurion answered and said, ‘Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a...
