BERNARD McGHEE Associated Press One would have to go back hundreds of years to find a monarch who reigned longer than Queen Elizabeth II. In her 70 years on the throne, she helped modernize the monarchy across decades of enormous social change, royal marriages and births, and family scandals. For most Britons, she was the only monarch they had ever known. Her death in September was arguably the most high-profile death this year, prompting a collective outpouring of grief and respect for her steady leadership as well as some c...

6 was a busy year in this part of north-central Montana with good news and bad. Here is a list of some of the stories Havre Daily News covered in the past year.

Mueller originally came to Havre to take the position of Havre High School...

Nature and the creatures it mothers think in seasons not days and dates. This weekend we transition to a whole new calendar year whilst, sadly, we remain stuck in the same old winter that we’ve been trudging through since early November which, by the way, made the recent solstice marking the first day of winter a mere ironic moment in Nature’s cold, white season. After about a month of winter weather, though, I start thinking it’s not smart to live here, then last week I rea...
6 ends and on to 2023 and wishing everyone the best in the New Year. On December 31st, my current Senate term comes to an end, and on January 1st, my new term begins. With that, onto the work. This past week, the new legislative district lines are being redrawn by a select committee. In the past, Senate District 14 included parts of Hill County, all of Liberty County, a small part of the northeast corner of Cascade County, and all of Chouteau County except the reservation. In my opinion, it is the best district in the...
And so it goes. We folks with more miles on the chassis put away the old calendar and open the new calendar, 12 blank pages of promise, blank pages of mystery, of wonder whether we will make it through next December. That sounds grim but said above, we older folks. I’m not sure how the younger people measure time. Maybe by that big thing similar to a watch on their wrist — that device that does everything for them. Someone told me it even tells them to “quit slouc...

Out our way, round up is always a special time. In the spring we round up the herd for branding and ear tags., and later to move them up to summer pasture to graze. In the fall, we round them up to move them to winter pasture. As always, being the least-proficient and very nearly useless wrangler, I ride "drag" from the rear of the herd, and am grateful for my silk scarf to cut the dust. Now, by the time of the roundup, the pasture has been largely grazed down and the dust...
Lord, You watched two gals enjoying a quiet time in the park. A young fellow stopped and asked: "Are you Miss Sue?" Sue smiled and nodded her head.
