    Patrick Johnston|Updated Dec 5, 2022

  • Winter staying locked in this region

    Tim Leeds|Updated Dec 5, 2022

    The temperatures in this region are likely to be a little better than they were Saturday for Havre’s Holiday Stroll and Big Sandy’s Christmas Stroll, but forecasters are not predicting any break from wintry weather in the next week. The weather didn’t seem to put any freeze on the Christmas activities Saturday, although some snow fell and the temperatures definitely were freezing in the region. In Havre, for example, the National Weather Service recording station at the Havre City-County Airport reported a low Friday of mi...

  • Wisdom and Grace: A cold Christmas Eve on Amtrak

    Ila McClenahan|Updated Dec 5, 2022

    Note: I recently found this article written for the Havre Daily News that my mother Gertrude Whaley wrote about in 1983. Due to family circumstances, I must travel by Amtrak from Havre to Portland, Oregon. I was to leave Havre December 23 at 3 p.m. Due to severe weather conditions the train did not leave Havre until 2 a.m. on the 24th. The Amtrak crew had fought the severe cold all the way from Chicago, and in many places, they could only go 35-40 miles per hour. It was 35...

  • Out Our Way: Clippers and chinooks - Revelation 21:4

    Updated Dec 2, 2022

    "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain; for the old order of things has passed away." Out our way, winters come hard and fast. I recall a week for Halloween when an Alberta Clipper came roaring down and dropped several feet of snow in a few hours. The temperature dropped to some 30 below and power was shut down for hours and even days in some areas. This is the Hi-Line. This is Montana. This is reality. We live...

  • Pastor's Corner: Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand

    Updated Dec 2, 2022

    Doesn't that sound good? If there were ever words from Scripture that could bring a sense of hopefulness and joy to my heart it is the words in the title above. The words in the title are words used by John the Baptist as he prepared the way for the Jesus the Christ - the Messiah in the gospel of Matthew 3:2. A little later, in the same gospel, Jesus himself proclaims "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17. In the Gospel of Luke 17:21, Jesus takes this...

  • Grief Poem - Love of My Life

    Updated Dec 2, 2022

    You've only gone ahead of us, though life has lost its will; But we "sense" you, as though you're here, as living with us still. Maybe you see our tears and grief, and see what all we do. And when we smile, remembering times - maybe you're smiling, too. When you were here, we were just "one"; one mind, one soul, one being. Now we're alone, walking through life, though only "we" are seen. And then night comes, quiet and still, sometimes grief pains then start. We'd like you...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Dec 2, 2022

    You know Lord, friends stop occasionally and tell interesting stories about their lives. A gal, we'll call her Jill, stopped a while ago, mentioned how lovely the autumns leaves were, some falling, some still attached to their branches. She giggled, mentioned that her Aunt Jane, who lives a ways a way, had told her that in her small town, she'd noticed a playground by a school with a high fence around it. Both of us thought that fence might prevent deer from hopping over; we...

A memorial for the men killed was created in Centennial Park in Harlem, and the bridge at the park was...

  • Political signs must be removed

    Patrick Johnston|Updated Dec 1, 2022
