Editor: If you want to experience a little glimpse of Italy in your own backyard it can be found at 603 3rd Ave., at Nonna’s Coffee House. I called Leann after seeing an ad in the Havre Daily News to schedule a Christmas party for a small group of friends. She was so thrilled at the opportunity to help us out that I get caught up in the excitement of trying something new in Havre. Leann offered us five entrée choices — just to keep everyone happy. Upon our arrival at Nonna’s, we were seated and the food began to appear...
Editor: I would never profess to know the ins and outs of politics, but I do know moms. I publish Mamalode Magazine (“America’s best parenting magazine” — Lisa Stone CEO of BlogHer — which is published in Missoula) and I know firsthand about the challenges facing mothers. When my sons were pre-school aged I was really struggling. I had some health issues and had to quit my job. We lived in our basement and rented out the rest of the house to make ends meet. With some help from grandparents and some scholarships we were able...
Editor: Thank you for standing firm on your right to publish cartoons or anything else of that nature. Scott Peley of CBS Evening News made a great comment, " ... because there is no democracy without journalism." Myron Boyle Havre...
Editor: I would like to thank the men who helped me out Tuesday afternoon when my car got stuck in the snow on West 2nd Street. It took them a while to get me back on the road again, and I am grateful. Bless them all. Sorry I don't know any of their names. Margaret Gill Havre...
Editor: The “Home Free” service provided on New Year’s Eve is a critically important part of our holiday Sober & Safe Campaign. This was our 19th year, and we are very grateful to those who make it all possible. This year, approximately 330 people were provided safe rides on New Year’s Eve, thus removing a significant number of alcohol-impaired drivers from the roads and making the whole community safer. A special word of appreciation, once again, goes to Havre Ford for dispatching the calls and providing the drivers, cars an...
Editor: If a body of water has no outlet, it becomes stagnant,but if the inflow is matched by the outflow, it becomes a source of freshness and life. Just so, the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line is not a stagnant “dead sea” receiving and hoarding the generosity of the community, but a fresh and refreshing lake, into which and out of which gifts flow, enriching the lives of many in the community. Of course, almost 200 children are enriched in after-school activities at the club daily thanks to the generosity of the com...
Editor: Local businesses are what drive the Havre community every day. They generate the majority of our tax base to finance local government for police/fire protection, the parks we all enjoy and the schools our children and grandchildren attend. They are the sponsors of hundreds of youth and school activities and teams, they sponsor thousands of dollars in scholarships for college education, they are the supporters of art and culture, and they are the individuals who donate their time and money, equipment and talent to...
Editor: The Blue Pony Booster Club is in need of nominations for the Dr. Jim Elliott Memorial Award. Dr. Elliott’s family gave the first award in 2001 and purchased a plaque that hangs in a trophy case at the Havre High School’s west foyer with the name of each recipient engraved on in. The Booster Club has been given the responsibility from the Elliott family for choosing someone to receive this award. The honor of receiving this award is based on volunteerism, along with personal and/or professional sacrifices made for the...
Editor: Isn’t it wonderful that we are done with the phone calls and extra mail that was so frequent in the last few months? We are free to get on with our daily lives and, as we head into the holiday season, it is time to be thankful for our many blessings and to take time to support those who are less fortunate than us. I have had the privilege to be a member of the United Way Board of Directors and also in my professional life a recipient of the generosity of Havre and the surrounding area. I would like to take a few m...
Editor: United States veterans are an important part of each and every community. They have served and protected, and some have given the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that each and every American can live free. Unfortunately, many of those who have served, struggle with addiction, homelessness, poverty or other conditions that affect their quality of life. Oct. 29, Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and surrounding areas, along with the Veteran Affairs Division, Montana, gave back and honored our local vets in the Second Annual...
Editor: To our community, The mission statement for the Community Thanksgiving Dinner states: “The purpose of this project is to provide a free Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings to all who wish to participate: rich, poor, young, old, singles, couples and families. The spirit of the project is to bring our community together as one big extended family to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.” The home deliveries are provided to people who are unable to make it to the location. With many helping hands we were once aga...
Editor: Pam Hillery's statement that (her) "God is a loving God" saddens me. It implies that those who oppose same-sex marriage believe in a God who isn't. But our God is also loving; He is also just, and He knows that boundaries are necessary. Or was He just kidding when He handed down those pesky commandments? At any rate, I have been unable to find Pam's nonjudgmental God in the Bible. When we live our lives to please ourselves, are we guilty of idolatry? Are we loving ourselves above all, rather than God? Is it...
Editor: The fourth grade at Aviston Elementary, located in southern Illinois, is learning about the United States and the different environments, climates, resources and highlights found in each region. The kids in the class think it would be fun to receive receive post cards, souvenirs, resources of any information about our great country from each of the 50 states. We hope that people who read this letter will be interested in mailing our class items pertaining to their state. Our address is: Fourth grade at Aviston...
Editor: As a parent of a Havre High School student who is participating in sports, I feel I need to address a few points brought up by Angela Pratt in the article about the school play. I do not believe that any activity more than any other has “good kids” or ”bad kids.” Whether a students has straight A’s or not does not always determine what type of kid they are. There are students who are “good kids” who are working hard to maintain the highest GPA they can. We are fortunate to have local schools that offer a selection o...
Editor: As an innovator and business owner in Montana, I know firsthand how important it is that we have a strong workforce both now and into the future. It is critical that our children learn to think creatively, to think outside the box, to explore and to ask questions from an early age. We know that high-quality preschool prepares kids to do just that when they enter kindergarten classrooms, yet far too many children do not have access to or their families cannot afford preschool. I feel it is extremely important to make...
Editor: Thank you to all the community members who participated in the Eagles Manor Harvest Party. We would like to thank Walmart, Nalivka’s, Pizza Hut, Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods and various residents for donating food, gift cards, cash and party items that made the Harvest Party possible. Thank you to all the residents who decorated and ran games and prepared baked goods. Thank you to the supportive staff and family members who spent their day off setting up, overseeing and cleaning up. And last but not least, thank you to...
Editor: The Atchison family would like to thank Havre and surrounding communities for the support shown during our “Haunted Walkway” during All Hallows Eve. We started back in 2010 with just a little bit of dress-up while we passed out candy to the kids that came by. This year, in addition to our tunnel that led up to our “Butcher Shop” we also had a graveyard scene that we welcomed older children to walk around to get their candy. Barring injury or illness we intend to expand little by little through the years to provide...
Editor: It seems that nothing good is going on out here in Rocky Boy. But I am here to tell you that is just not true. There are way more good going on out here than there is bad, way more. I have worked out here for 21 years now, and I consider many of these people my brothers, sisters and grandchildren. The foundations of Rocky Boy are firm, they are good, they are strong. The culture, the language, the traditions are good. The spiritual foundations, whether they be Catholic, Lutheran, Traditional Chippewa or Cree, or what...
Editor: I respectfully have to disagree with your dart on Friday, Oct 24, about the Election Day rejection from the Blaine County offices. I checked with my local clerk and recorder office in Hill County and found out that in Hill County you can register to vote at: 1) The county courthouse 2) The U.S. Post Office 3) The Montana driver examiner office. Now that being said, I would assume that every person of voting age in the state of Montana (which includes our seven reservations) has at some time in the last two years been...
Editor: Our public lands are at risk.! In the United States, we have public access to some of the most splendid lands on earth. If certain political interests — local, state, and national — have their way, you and I will lose our rights to our public lands in Montana, and across our nation. As is true of all things, the management of our public lands (state and federal) is not perfect. However, we have our public lands today, in all their magnificence, because of the stewardship of our long established government age...
Editor: I wanted to thank everyone who helped us at the Havre High School invitational speech, drama and debate tournament Saturday. We can’t put these tournaments on for the students without help from the community, and, again, people from north-central Montana went above and beyond normal to get the tournament done. From the people who judged to the people who helped behind the scenes, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks, including to the Havre High School and Havre Public Schools administration, faculty and staff h...
Editor: I'd like to thank the Havre Daily News for your front-page coverage of the many important events going on at Montana State University-Northern this past weekend. I was thrilled to see so many community members come out to support us Saturday and Sunday as we kicked off our capital campaign to build the new Auto-Diesel Technology Center. With $4.9 million pledged by the state legislature and $3.15 million in generous corporate donations, we are well on our way to funding an exciting new facility that will bring...
Editor: Hill County Family Planning and District 4 HRDC Domestic Violence Program would like to thank the numerous businesses, volunteers and participants who made the walk/run event a huge success: Special thank-you to: • Montana State University-Northern Nursing Department • Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods • District 4 HRDC Domestic Violence Program staff • Hill County Health Department staff • United Way of Hill County • Hill County Family Planning staff • Saddle Butte RC Model Flying Club • U.S. Border Patrol, Havre Sector • Bo...
Editor: I just had the honor, along with my Leadership Montana 2015 Cohort, to spend three wonderful days in this amazing part of the world. We all know that Montana is the world's largest small town, and its was an absolute pleasure to be invited to the "Northside of Town" for a bit. As a resident of another small Montana community with a significant assets, pride and unique history, Livingston, I felt an immediate connection to Havre. That was only the beginning. The best part was being welcomed into your homes and...
Editor: I am writing about the crazy things this mayor is doing to our town. First the water bill rates are raised $5, and then he's going to raise the property taxes. Why didn't he check and see if most of the people can afford it? Most of the taxpayers are on pensions and can't afford it? We didn't get a raise in our pensions for four years. The people in Washington did this. He thinks it's good, but why is he holding two jobs when some people can't find a job? Let's get a better person in there for mayor. Loretta...
