To my dearest and beloved grandchildren, I know in my last letter to you I said that that one would be my last about growing up riding horses. But the other night Grandpa and I were sitting outside enjoying a cool evening after a very hot summer's day. As you know, from where we live just off the Amos Trail, we have a wonderful view of the Bear Paw Mountains. They are probably 35 miles away. Grandpa (from Wyoming and Nebraska) asked "Now, what do they call that tall mountain i...

from Emily Mayer As a lover of history, it's only natural to have a love for antiques. I've seen a lot of antiques over the years, and among my favorites are ones of a piece of machinery, a kitchen utensil, a piece of dinnerware whose use I had never heard about before. These are great learning tools; talismans of the past that tell us about how life was lived by our ancestors. However, sometimes pieces have me stumped, and who better to ask than the Havre and Hill County...

Out our way, one of the first things a tenderfoot cowboy learns is the importance of circling. A horse can get skittish and less than cooperative at times - and often the best thing is to "circle" him. Ole Doc didn't care for the horse trailer and often refused to load. So after a few refusals, I would start trotting him in a circle pattern until he calmed down, and more often than not, he walked right into the trailer. Now Babe, his "girlfriend," was quite a different...

You know, Lord, sometimes our thinking gets mixed up, we think the quality of our life is based on what happens to us, but we're forgetting that the quality of our life is how we respond. We probably know someone - including ourselves - who've become bitter instead of becoming better, when tragedy befalls us. No matter what, we need to remember that You, Lord, have secured our victory. We're to take hold of that truth, internalizing Your gospel gift and live it out amid our...

For the past few months, Havre City Council’s Streets and Sidewalks committee has been discussing the possibility of changing 6th Street into a one-way street to decrease excessive traffic, speeding and accidents. This proposal came mostly from Havre Police Chief Gabe Matosich, who’s said that the street just gets too much traffic and they see a lot of accidents and speeding, with the intersection between Sixth Street and Ninth Avenue being particularly problematic. The committee, the police department, and City Council Membe...
A fire started on Mount Baldy Wednesday and, while fire crews and law enforcement across the three counties the fire has spread to are responding, information on the fire remains somewhat scarce.

Baker said Rocky Boy has sent crews to fight the fire and air tankers from...
