Editor, I have enjoyed for the past several years the spectacular Christmas lights in Memorial Park on Fifth Avenue, but this year the lighting display seems brighter and more inspiring than ever. This may well be the most beautiful display of an otherwise pretty dismal 2020. Thank you guys for your work and genius. Thank you, Havre, I love you. Frank Miller, MD Havre...
I am sitting on a gold mine or, more specifically, I’m fixin’ to hatch me a gold mine. Those stinkin’ pigeons in my barn that I’ve been complaining about for years? They could be worth money, real money, like really real money, according to an article in Reuters. In November, a 2-year-old racing pigeon from Belgium sold at auction for — are you sitting down? You should be sitting down for this because the pigeon sold for $1.89 million. One point eight nine MILLION dollars. For...
Dear Editor: A safe, effective and accessible COVID-19 vaccine can help bring an end to today’s economic and health crisis — so our families are safe, so we can get back to work and live our lives again. But only if everyone has access to it. Despite largely being funded by public money, Moderna and other pharmaceutical companies developing vaccines have yet to make the necessary commitments to ensure global production and global access for a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s why I joined more than 100 leaders from public healt...
This was supposed to be a big weekend for the Montana State University-Northern men's and women's basketball teams - and for the Frontier Conference in general. Yes, it was supposed to be the first Frontier games of the delayed 2020-21 season. Now however, gyms all over the Frontier will be silent. Northern announced Thursday that its games at Rocky Mountain College have been postponed due to COVID-19 issues. That means, for the MSU-N men, it's the second straight weekend in...
The Montana State University-Northern women's cross country program has had a lot of success in recruiting Havre High distance runners.

O'Leary is a four-year varsity runner for the Blue Pony cross country team, and she led the Blue...
With college basketball starting, sort of, I just have to get something off my chest. It’s something that’s been bugging me for a long time, and since I like to write about things that bug me, here it is. And my gripe is this: People need to stop acting like Gonzaga is still one of the little guys. Stop acting like the Gonzaga men are still the NCAA tournament Cinderella story they were 20 years ago. Just quit it. From their legions of fans, especially those of you who liv...
Out our way, this time of year, the snows have begun and the cold winds are blowing from the Arctic with nothing but a barbed wire fence between us and the North Pole. It is a time of declining temperatures and sunlight as the days grow shorter and the nights get longer. But we know it will not last. Spring may seem to be a fantasy and it feels like it will always be winter - but then a chinook wind blows and reminds us that spring really is coming. As Isaiah prophesied, "The...
This seems a fairly obvious message to emanate from the Christian church. For much of this pandemic, however, the message that has gotten out from the Christian community is that we want to do the "rights" thing. Legal battles have raged throughout the months of the COVID-19 pandemic as to whether public health measures appropriately apply to religious worship gatherings in this country. As to be expected in our polarized condition, the U.S. Supreme Court decided 5-4 on May...
It's amazing, Lord, when one finds an interesting article to share! The following is by Ruth C. Ikerman, titled: "Do what You Don't Have To DO." "A friend who thoroughly enjoys each new Christmas season once told me in a moment of fellowship that rich secret of her perennial enjoyment; Christmas IS Good News. "Do, first, what you have to do for Christmas; get it out of the way. Then you can do what you don't have to do. The good news: That's the real meaning of Christmas and...
No rush today, it's winter time - just watch for the mail man. Have cuppa tea, find recipe, or maybe call "Ruthann." Blocked windows tight, keeps cold air out; best bring in load of wood. No real hurry, guess "we" could bake, some cookies would be good. The doorbell rang, just look who came! Aren't "we" the one who's blessed! The girls worked hard; they were good "help" - they truly are the best! T'was quite a day with snow and wind, but glad they came to share. How special...
