The club received a grant for $1,000 from Triangle Communications to go towards the park area project down at the fairg...

That evening, award winning author, Mr. Ben Mikaelsen, shared his background and life's adventures during a 'meet and greet the author' appearance. With the community in attendance, Mr. Mikaelsen explained how to "Find the Heart of the Story," while displaying photos of the catalysts which stimulated many of the storylines for his books, two of which may...
Once again kudos to area teams who won championships for basketball at the state level. For those who got so close but did not win what they thought they would, there is next year and just to get to play in a state tournament is a real honor for our far north teams. Good job girls and boys basketball players! I have been watching a little NBA basketball myself lately. And I have been listening to sports gurus who talk like they know what they are talking about. Most of them are really bragging up Golden State. As far as the NBA is concerned,...
The dinner conversation turned to food in general. “I’ve been wondering what people commonly ate a couple of generations ago that we don’t eat any more,” one hungry person said. “Rutabagas!” another one said jokingly. Well, did most people ever eat many? One person said, “When I was growing up, sometimes we would have plain rice with milk and sugar and cinnamon, for dinner.” In 2016 “dinner” is now called “lunch.” The family was not poor and the mother was a good cook who liked to cook, but some meals were very simple. In much earlier days in...
As many of you know I have been cooking some of my recipes gotten from Laened Black in February. I had a recipe that was called Black’s Party Beans. Well, I made it the other day, gave it to a church potluck and it was gone before anything else at the potluck! The beans serve 25. It is hard to lessen the amount but they freeze well so make the whole amount and give some away, fill your own bean pot and enjoy these wonderful beans. Laened recommended cooking them in a roaster. I filled a small turkey roaster. These are wonderful. Lots to buy b...

It has been an abnormally warm two weeks in Big Sky Country. A couple of weeks ago the thermometer hit 73 one afternoon in Choteau and has been in the high 50’s and low 60’s every day for almost a fortnight in and around Havre. So far my flowers, lilacs and trees seem to be not paying attention to the warm weather. Not much happening in my gardens thank goodness. And, of course, there is little or no moisture of late and probably not going to be until we get into a moisture mode, then watch out, for it will probably flood! So, what shall we...
There once were two tails, one on each of two chickens, but they are irrelevant. This is a tale of two chickens. One chicken was big and one was small, analogously to great-grandfather and young teenager. They were not related to each other and lived on different farms. However, both were brought up with the minimum of human intervention and interference by the owners. Both were spared food full of things with scientific-sounding or unpronounceable names. Both were allowed to live in spaces where the fences were many yards apart and where...

The library has great new selections for you to read. Stop by and pick up one of these titles. “The Girls She Left Behind” is by Sarah Graves. A forest fire rages near the town of Bearkill in northern Maine. Teenager Tara Wylie, who has a history of running away, has disappeared again.

Kudos to the Havre and Chinook wrestlers for taking home State trophies. These two programs are as good as it gets for prep wrestling and it is a great testament to coaching, community support and drive of young wrestlers that they do so well year after year! Havre High Football is losing Mark Samson. The former Northern football coach led the Blue Ponies for one year to one of the best football seasons they have had for some time. He is going to be the head coach for the Great Falls Bison. We wish him well with the Bison and just wish he had...
I am still trying to comfort myself from the winter blues. Now, I know that as far as real Montana winters go, we have not really had a winter yet at all. And yet, not getting outside to garden and walk along a Bear Paw Creek has been putting me sort of in a funk to say the least. I decided one way I could cure the blues was to cook some old, old recipes that I had maybe never cooked before. For Super Bowl I cooked Francis and Laened Black’s Party Beans and they were wonderful. I got off funk while cooking and eating them both. That day I a...
It pays to have two dictionaries at hand. The old one will tell you what the words you run across used to mean. You need the new one to tell you what people are saying that words mean now. Strangely enough, meanings change so much and so often that the best we can do is say what “usage” says they mean. My old dictionary says that a pilot flag is one hoisted at the fore by a vessel coming into harbor and desiring a pilot. It was a “plate” of colored pilot flags that got me interested in flags at all. Curious as to how a newer dictionary would d...
The leader of the adult Lenten study course asked the class, “Who wants to read Luke 9: 57 to 62?” “I will,” one woman said, and read aloud, ”Someone said to Jesus, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ “And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but [I] have nowhere to lay [my] head.’ “To another he said, ‘Follow me.’ But he said, ‘Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’ “But Jesus said to him, ‘Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ “Another said, ‘I will foll...
Tomorrow is Sunday and there is no football. I volunteered at church to usher for awhile hoping that shock would chase away the shock of no football. But things are still going on. Let’s look at some standings. That is a good place to start. In the Frontier League it is on the women’s side of things Lewis and Clark in first followed by Carroll. Northern is fourth followed by Rocky in fifth place. On the men’s side, it is Lewis and Clark in first followed by Carroll. Rocky is in fourth and Northern is in fifth. Looking at the woman’s side in the...
