Readers, You might notice a change to this week’s issue – there is one 12-page section as opposed to the two sections you are accustomed to. Over the past month, the Miles City Star has graciously printed the Glasgow Courier while the Havre Daily News fixes their press. Due to their generosity in helping us out, we are adjusting how we lay out the newspaper to make it easier on them and us. We are expecting to utilize the Miles City Star for the next few weeks so the paper will look more like this in the coming weeks until we start pri...

Not much has changed in the garden this past week. I’m still doing plenty of weeding: all the seeds blown in from the shelter belt trees (I’m looking at you, Chinese elm) are sprouting with wild abandon due to the rains.

I keep reminding myself that this activity helps with my flexibility. Once in a while my brain protests that this is bunk: this activity is ruining my joints. I will say...
Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google. Almost all of us have some kind of relationship with at least one of these companies, perhaps even all four. We rely on them for staying in touch with loved ones, providing entertainment, answering our questions; truly the list goes on and on. As time progresses and tech becomes more integrated into our lives, this will only grow longer. How far does the reach truly go for these technology giants though? Are we unknowingly putting all of our technology eggs into one basket? If we are, is that really so...
