The communities of Havre/Hill County are better than our current behavior reflect. I think an apt comparison to our current situation is to compare our response to the Bear Paw/Beaver Creek fires a couple of years ago. This was an emergency situation threatening our area. The response by the communities showed friends and neighbors doing whatever was necessary to save all from the inferno. Not all volunteers could drive a bulldozer or a firetruck, but everyone pitched in with food, drinks, equipment, water trucks, whatever....
In a time when American politics has been all about dueling realities, you’ll be happy — in a misery-loves-company kind of way — to know that it’s not just us. Nepal and China have been arguing since 2005 about the actual height of Mount Everest, which sits on the border between Nepal and Tibet, which is an autonomous region of China (basically, China’s Canada). Here’s the beef, the highest point of the of Mount Everest is the marker for the border between Nepal and Tibet,...

It's been a struggle for many Frontier Conference teams to get the 2020-21 basketball season off the ground. Actually, because of COVID-19, it's been a struggle for college basketball in general. And that's why Montana State University-Northern head coach Chris Mouat is grateful that his team has two games in already. And now, the Skylights (1-1) get the opportunity to play in their home gym. After last weekend's Frontier openers at Rocky Mountain College were postponed due...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights are hoping the third time is a charm. The third time being the Lights are trying to get their 2020-21 basketball season going.

Out our way, I noticed that, after a long ride, Doc always picked up his gait when we were heading for home. No matter how tired he seemed to be from it all, when we got close to the stable, grain bucket and reunion with his girlfriend, Babe — new energy flowed. We may see a bit of this in ourselves as the year winds down and Christmas lies just over the ridge. It has been a tough year for us all with the virus, the lockdowns, jobs and businesses being lost everywhere, rising crime and violence in many places, vicious p...
This Sunday, Dec. 13, will be the third Sunday in Advent. On this Sunday, we light the third candle on the Advent Wreath.

Perhaps you could stop by for Mass this weekend at St. Jude and catch a glimpse of Father Dan - he looks good in pink. I am in so much trouble...

She mentioned that her dear friend lost a special uncle in a different state and that another friend told her about the loss of her dear cousin, also in a different state.
