Volunteers were prepared for guests from Havre and elsewhere when people began trickling into St, Jude Parish Center for a serving of both a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and companionship. The dinner is a Havre tradition that reaches back to the 1970s, said Debi Rhines, who has been the organizer of the community dinner for the last five years. She said that each year a minimum of 100 volunteers take part in serving turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy, dinner...
After 34 years providing chiropractic care in Havre, Dr. Tom and Judi Adams are retiring, and not even a day too soon for the doctor, who is an avid outdoorsman. "Our last day is Dec. 14th - because Dec. 15th is opening day of (elk) shoulder season," Tom said as if he were delivering the punchline to a great story. While they pointed out the row of medical files they've accumulated over the past three-and-a-half decades - around 2,000 of them considered still active - and look...

The Havre/Hill County Historic Preservation Commission 2016 ornament, a depiction of Kiwanis Chapel at Beaver Creek Park, is on sale at the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce for $20 each. This year only 100 numbered, limited edition ornaments were made for for sale. The Preservation Commission worked with the Hill County Park Board to list the Kiwanis Chapel on the National Register in 2008-09. Once listed, a stimulus grant was obtained in 2010. The rehabilitation of the chapel,...
By Emily Mayer There were a number of interesting articles in the newspapers this week in 1916. Several people became naturalized citizens, mostly coming from Great Britain and Norway. Names of those applying for land formerly part of Fort Assinniboine were released. Some lands were secured right away because only one person applied for the parcel. Others had two or more applicants, the successful applicant would be chosen at another date. Several weddings were noted in the papers as well. The memorial service for the late...
“The Best 25 Inventions of 2016” blares the cover of the Nov. 16 issue of “Time.” I don’t have the space to do injustice to all of them, but some of them just beg for comment. Of course you may wonder why “Time” feels compelled to release its list with more than a month left to go in the year. Isn’t it possible that someone could unveil some brilliant labor-saving device or cultural milestone during the twelfth month? OK, truthfully, Kickstarter startups do tend to get pushed aside by all the holiday hubbub and year-end in...
As hard as the campaign might have been and the transition is proving to be, Donald Trump’s challenges are really just beginning. Governing after a toxic election in which the results awarded him an ambiguous national mandate — his opponent, after all, got more votes — will require finesse, a clear-eyed view of his role in the world, and no small amount of luck. He will soon find that the commitments and promises made during the campaign are going to be very hard to carry out. The new president’s number one priority almost...
When I was a kid, and even when I was in the throes of that heady bloom of early-adult age, I thought that once a I got to be a truly grownup age I would really have my stuff together. You know, be responsible, know things, do things more right. As I get older I am left to wonder if it’s simply not true that grownup age equals grownup capabilities or if I missed a lesson somewhere along the way. Or maybe I was supposed to pick up an “Own Your Grownup-ness” manual at some point but lacked even enough sense of personal respo...
Historians all agree that the Pilgrims really did celebrate a first Thanksgiving, but they also agree that it was a one-time event. It wasn’t turned into a yearly celebration until Abraham Lincoln made it official during the middle of the Civil War, some 250 years later. New documents have come to light that may explain why. “Never again,” writes John Alden in a letter found in a newly discovered cache of papers composed by the original passengers of the Mayflower. “Six long hours we have spent looking at the hind end of...
MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — Montana’s wildlife agency broke ethics laws by allowing the Montana Trappers Association to use state equipment to campaign against an anti-trapping ballot initiative in 2014, the state commissioner of political practices ruled Wednesday. Commissioner Jonathan Motl’s ruling raised concerns about the relationship between Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and the trappers association that led to the association’s use of an FWP trailer and displays of furbearing animals to political purpose...

HELENA (AP) — A federal judge blocked a logging project northeast of Yellowstone National Park until federal officials analyze the effects of the project on Canada lynx that live in the area. A wildlife advocacy group that sued to stop the Greater Red Lodge Habitat and Vegetation Management Project in the Custer National Forest hailed the decision as a victory for the threatened species. “Lynx do not survive in areas with massive subsidized clearcutting,” Alliance for the Wild Rockies executive director Mike Garrity said in a...

BIGFORK (AP) — School officials in Bigfork have been trying to work around a ransomware computer attack that has left them unable to access student records and other files, and say they don’t intend to pay the attackers in exchange for a quick fix. They expect to fix the problem on their own before the current grading period ends next week. The attack encrypted and locked computer files so they couldn’t be opened. The malicious software got into the system through an email attachment. Because the attack affected staff Socia...
MISSOULA (AP) — The University of Montana needs to further reduce its faculty and staff to match its lower enrollment numbers or the state may have to make those decisions, officials said. “UM currently has too many faculty and staff,” said Kevin McCrae, a deputy in the state office of the Commissioner of Higher Education. “Last year UM had more faculty and staff than they did at their peak enrollment.” Enrollment on the main campus has fallen by 22 percent since 2010. Commissioner Clayton Christian told the Missoulia...

You know, Lord, quite some years ago, Ruth Townsend wrote a poem about the Colors Of Thanksgiving: “Thanksgiving comes in shades of brown And Pilgrim black and white. A touch of red for falling leaves, A sliver moon at night. Rich yellow corn heaped high in bins, Wheat that is golden, too. Beets, onions, carrots tucked away, in every size and hue. An azure sky that’s background for A pumpkin-orange sun. Some trees with needles ever-green, Gray bunnies on the run. God is the artist; nature paints the colors that we love. Our...
You may have heard that man proposes and God disposes. The best laid plans do not always work out the way we have intended. Karrie often tells me that things are not going to work out how I think they will. I am learning to allow more and more room for the “God factor”. As I was beginning my pastoral journey and before I was ordained, Pastor Dan and his wife and children were in the midst of turmoil. Phillip Yancey wrote about “Disappointment with God” and I have shared from the pulpit that in my arrogance I was “disapp...
Mark 10:13-16 Out our way, it's time for the annual "chase Goliath with the fake reindeer antlers" again. As many of you know, my horse Goliath hates wearing the antlers as we try to do bell ringing for the Salvation Army, but every year I try to talk him into it. Well, this year, as every other year, he refuses to put on the horns and help ring bells, but as in year's past he hasn't forgotten what the bell ringing is about. He knows that this is the primary fund-raising...

The Nationals and the Junior Bruins will start tonight's game at 8. The two teams will meet against Saturday night at...
It’s been a long, long time since the Montana State University-Northern Lights played meaningful basketball games on Thanksgiving weekend. But, that’s about to change. Northern head coach Shawn Huse is looking to start a new tradition for his Lights, one that will become a Thanksgiving regular. And that tradition starts tonight as the Lights play the first of two games in the Thanksgiving Classic inside the Armory Gymnasium. Northern, which is off to a 3-0 start this sea...

Craig, a defensive end, was named First-Team All-Conference on defense for the second straight s...
