She held Mom’s hand, and Mom held hers, they talked a little while. They talked about the ‘past,’ and ‘now’, and shared a little smile. Mom did remind Joan of scripture, that we are born to die. And when He calls, it’s up to Him, what time to Him we’ll fly. Mom spoke to comfort her dear girl, who knew Mom soon’ d be gone. They said ‘good-bye’, Joan kissed her Mom, who’d left before the dawn. Then down two rooms, a guy looked sad, “You said that you’d...
HAVRE - In an era when life moves quickly and quiet reflection can feel like a luxury, one local tradition continues to draw residents into a shared moment of pause and purpose. On Good Friday, members of the Havre community will once again gather downtown for the annual Walk of the Cross, a moving public observance that traces the final hours of Jesus' life through Scripture, prayer, and presence. We will start at Van Orsdel United Methodist Church at 11:00 a.m.; make...

Out our way, an older parishioner and friend named Ike, asked me to come help him reset a tombstone of a kid he had known as a youth. As we reset the marker and repaired the fence to keep the cattle out, he told me of the story of the kid whose marker it was. Ike told me the deceased was a young guy - about 18 - who was a bit stuck up and proud of being a cowboy - but careless. The kid had been working a local herd, but had ignored checking his cinch. It came loose and the...
You know, Lord, it was such a blessing and so much FUN to watch the children parade through the aisles on Palm Sunday, waving their palm branches. We loved how the youngest and smallest ones held onto a rope fastened to their Sunday School Teacher, so they could follow her through the crowded sanctuary because they could hardly SEE where they were going. It reminded us of the way we are to follow Jesus. Then, came EASTER Sunday! Long ago at a different time and different...
Today is the last time The Havre Weekly Chronicle will be published, although Havre will continue to have a paper from another source. In January 2025, Jesse Mullen purchased the struggling newspaper from Stevenson Newspapers based in Wyoming. “They sold me the paper for $1,” Mullen said. “It was losing about $20,000 a month when I took over, and we worked quickly to stem the bleeding. But after more than a year, we ran out of runway.” The Havre Weekly Chronicle was originally slated to close on January 15, 2025,...
I'm fairly predictable. Each morning at sunrise, Lola and I walk the lanes to the highway, stop a moment to watch the goats being milked at the goat-milk stand across the road, turn for home, coffee and a nosh. This walk is for Lola. So what if I enjoy it just as much. Now with my new trike, I have a new routine. After coffee and a few chores, now that my shiny new trike has an extended seat bar for my height and I have sneakers with soles so flexible they hug the pedals, we...
I have had the good fortune to represent Havre and Hill County in the Montana Legislature since I first took my oath of office in January of 2023. Over the past three-plus years, I have served in two legislative sessions and worked between sessions on interim committees to monitor budgets and programs to ensure both are working as they should for the citizens of our state. It has been an honor to serve in this capacity and I am hopeful I have given back to our community and...
