Our nation decries the lack of mental health services yet, often doesn't give credit to the persons contributing on a regular basis to the cause. This is a small tribute in honor of their service and dedication to mental health in Phillips County over the past years. Some are retired, some have passed way, others have relocated, and some continue to serve in other roles. We appreciate them all. The late Ned Mangis sponsored an educational piece in the Phillips County News - the "Counseling...
Dear Editor, Our community has much to be thankful for, of which would be our senior citizens at our senior center, the Hi-Line Retirement Center (HLRC). We are what we are because of what our seniors worked so hard for all their lives. It is because of our senior citizens that our community has such strong values. So during their “winter years,” let’s not forget about them. Just a visit means so much to them, be it a few minutes or a couple of hours. I remember my husband’s grandparents loved it when we would drop by on our way to and from ev...
I never put much stock in the old saying that a man is lucky to own one good bird dog in his life. If that’s the case then that man just didn’t have enough dogs. I’ve had a bunch, some better than others. And I’ve been very lucky. Baby Ruth wasn’t just good. She brought a joie de vivre to the hunt that only a young dog can. She died last week, young and fit, only two and a half years old. Something awful, growing rapidly inside her, cut her life short. The Monday before Thanksgiving we were h...
Ready or not, here it is. I thought it was ridiculous that we had tons of snow dropped on us during October. I thought to myself, yes this is terrible but not bad. We are a little over a week in December. Now I am starting to believe all of the warnings that I have been told about this year’s winter; it is going to be bad. A couple of weeks ago, on a Sunday, I found myself taking a road trip to Havre, testing the frozen water and taking my life into the mercy of the cold, snow, ice, my m...
The house across the street from the Phillips County Court House was having walls built in the new basement. The new walls they are putting up seem to be made from wood. Over at the MOI, we have been moving items from our temporary home out on Highway 2 back into the newly refurbished MOI building on 3rd Street. We have spent a lot of time organizing and the general consensus from the MOI clients is that the building is very nice. Next week, I will go and see how the work on the Snyder House...
