Sister Act Opens on March 9 in Havre ister Act a Tony-nominated Broad ay musical based on the 1992 lm starring Whoopi Goldberg, opens on March 9 and 10 in the Montana Actors’ Theater on Cowan Drive in Havre, Montana, with the curtain rising both nights at 8:00 P.M. The show will run March 15-17 and 22-24, with 2 P.M. matinees on March 17 and March 24 in addition to the 8:00 P.M. shows.

Although the stage play and the movie are quite different, the Montana Actors’ Theatrical troupe will tell the tale of the wannabe disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier (played by Denae Ellis), whose life changes drastically after she witnesses a murder and is put into protective custody in a convent, the one place the police are certain she won’t be found. As the free-spirited and soul singing Cartier disrupts convent life under the watchful eye of Mother Superior (played

by Marie Deegan), she rediscovers her own voice in the process.

In addition to Ellis and Deegan, a cast of area residents will take part in the production: • Sister Mary Robert – Clarissa Allred • Sister Mary Patrick – Angela Messinger • Sister Mary Lazarus – Jamie Lynn Sherman • Monsignor O’Hara – Ben Hall • Curtis – Luke Pratt • Eddie – TJ Schwartzkopf • TJ – Oriah Williams • Joey – Martin Holt • Pablo – David Chambers • Sister Mary Martin of Tours – Tamara Sooter • Sister Mary Theresa – Mary Sue Davis • Michelle – Amanda Knutson • Tina – Haley Lippy • Ernie – Mark Cichosz • Ensemble– Amanda Viall, Angela Murri, Deanne Stevenson, Lacey Huff, Michelene Edwards, Serena Dawson, Tara Zuelke, and Taryn Jungers Tickets, which are $20 for adults and $15 for students/seniors/military, are on sale now at www.mtactors.com.

Community Supports Child Battling Cancer

Big brother -Wylee, Father - Justin, Mother- Tomi & Wacee

Justin and Tomi Simenson's lives were recently turned upside down with the unexpected news that their youngest son, Wacee, had a large mass in his chest With a sus icion o cancer he as o n to alis ell or bio sies blood work, and further tests. Because of the size of the tumor and the possibility that its rapid shrinking from chemotherapy could affect Wacee’s kidneys so that he might require dialysis, the Pediatric Acute Center in Kalispell transferred Wacee to Denver Children's Hospital where more sophisticated equipment could handle his condition while he received chemotherapy.

On February 13, the Simensons learned of their son’s diagnosis, T-Cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, and its prognosis: this disease is highly curable with chemotherapy treatments. Overwhelmed by the news, Tomi wrote on Facebook: “My head literally feels like it could explode because of all the information I have had to learn over the course of the last few days about this disease. But the thing I’m still having trouble with is just how fast all of this happened and just how fast our lives have been changed so drastically! Our new ‘normal’ is about to look a whole lot different!”

Wacee began receiving chemotherapy on Tuesday night, February 13, and is expected to receive treatments for the next two years. Although medical professionals optimistically expect Wacee to return to normal activity within six months, Wacee will have to remain in Denver until approximately mid-March, at which time his condition will be reevaluated. If Wacee makes positive progress, the family will return to Montana, and Wacee will continue his treatments in Kalispell.

Support for this community-minded family was immediate. Kelly Anderson organized a Go Fund Me page on February 10, and by the afternoon of February 13, already $33,859 of the $40,000 goal was raised. An account at the First Bank of Montana in Chinook has also been opened for donations for Wacee, and interested individuals can make checks payable to Justin, Tomi, or Wacee Simenson and send them to First Bank, P.O. Box 9; Chinook, MT 59523.

Calling 406-357-2244 will enable individuals to transfer money into the account, as ell onations can be made at any Glacier Bank a liate across Montana Furthermore, a Facebook border for Wacee was created by Heather DePriest. The border features a yellow ribbon followed by the words Wacee trong also in yello Any eo le ishing to u date their ro le ictures ith this frame as a show of support can simply search “Wacee” and then use the hashtag #waceestrong to create the frame. u orters encourage not only rayers but nancial donations welcoming any help in spreading the word about local fundraising efforts.

The Simensons also extend gratitude for all the prayers, love, and support they’ve experienced. “Please continue to pray,” Tomi asked. “I can’t wait to get my baby feeling better and back to being a boy!”

PQ?[ SUD0KU ES$!

SUDOKU! The rules to the Japanese game of Sudoku are straightforward. im ly ll in the blanks so that each row, each column, and each of the nine 3x3 grids contain one instance of each of the numbers 1 through 9.

Big Rocks My niece, Kelsey, got married last Saturday. The title of this article doesn’t refer to the size of the diamond on her ring. It doesn’t even refer to the place she was married, which was on top of a huge granite dome above 7,000’ elevation in the Sierra. But it does refer to something that her wedding made me think of. It is one of the simple, powerful principles from the 7 Habits of Highly ective eo le course that has had a great in uence on me The most re uent constraint Ranching or ro t chool alumni cite to getting things done is not enough time O course time is ed ince e can’t make more of it, we can only be more effective with the time we have. But ho ill e ever get to the im ortant WOTB ork i our days are lled ith seemingly endless WITB? That’s a good question and one I have struggled with myself.

We are all driven by the clock. But to be highly effective, we need to use a clock and a compass. Of course the clock represents time. The compass re resents direction The clock stands or e ciency The com ass stands or e ectiveness e live by the clock our lives ill be lled ith urgent things and the WOTB work is likely to go undone. Using our compass for guidance, it becomes possible to set priorities and do the WOTB. You create a compass by identifying your purpose in the form of a mission statement. There are some very practical tools we use in the 7 Habits program to help people identify their purpose and write their mission statement.

The process involves clarifying your priorities and identifying the principles and values by which you want to live your life. It involves recognizing your talents and strengths. It also requires that we identify the roles we play in our lives and the outcomes we want to achieve in each of those roles. We call the things we want to achieve in each role “The Big Rocks.”

We each play many roles in our lives personally and professionally.

For example at work I have the role of business owner, teacher, boss, writer, salesman, mouse killer and a dozen other things. In my personal life I have roles of husband, father, brother, friend, hiker, musician (or, perhaps more accurately, noise maker) and more. Kelsey just added “wife” to her list of roles.

In each of those roles there are outcomes I want to achieve and things I need to do to achieve them. These things are the “Big Rocks.”

If you are tired of letting WITB drive your life, I recommend you try this: 1. Identify 7 of the most important roles you play in your life. Make sure at least 3 of them are in your personal life and at least 3 of them are in your work life.

2. For each role imagine the ultimate outcome you’d like to achieve. It can be helpful to think of someone who would be affected by your achievements in this role. Ask yourself how you would like this person to describe your success in this particular role 20 years from now.

3 or each outcome identi y one or more signi cant ste s you d like to take this month to make progress toward that outcome.

4. Schedule those steps on a calendar or planner. (We give each participant in the 7 Habits Course a Franklin/Covey Planning System Kit that includes a planner for scheduling their months, weeks and days.)

5 ach eek con rm the blocks o time you ill devote to the big rocks and schedule the little rocks (WITB) around the big ones.

6. Each day take 10 minutes to translate the weekly schedule to a prioritized “to do” list for the day.

It may seem like this takes a lot of time. It’s been taking me 30 minutes at the beginning of each month to plan the month, another 20 minutes at the start of each week to plan my week and 5-10 minutes each morning to plan my day.

All totaled that comes to less than 5 hours a month. That is less than 1% o my time nd that s ending 1 o my time to reduce my stress and increase my effectiveness during the other 99% is a good return on my investment.

DAVE SAYS: Who Is Dave Ramsey?

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

DEAR DAVE, I’ve been following your plan, and I’m ready to start investing. Do employer contributions count toward the 15 percent you recommend putting into retirement?

~Brenda

DEAR BRENDA, Investing 15 percent of your income in retirement accounts is Baby Step 4 of my plan. That means you’ve already paid off all your debt, except for your home, and you’ve increased your $1,000 beginner’s emergency fund to a fully-funded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses. Way to go!

I want you to control your destiny, so employer contributions do not count to ard the 15 ercent recommend setting aside or retirement The rst thing you should put money into is a matching retirement account. If you’ve got access to a 401(k) — and your employer offers a match — you should do that up to the match before anything else.

It’s nice if your company will match up to a certain point, but chances are that will still mean you’ve got some work to do. To make up the remainder, you could look at a Roth IRA. Then if the Roth, plus what you invested previously to get the match doesn’t equal 15 percent, you could see about a 403(b) or go back to your 401(k) to complete the 15 percent.

You’re doing great, Brenda. Keep up the good work!

C o m m o d i t i e s

P u t t i n g T h e P o w e r o f I n f o r m a t i o n I n Yo u r H a n d s

Wheat markets were mostly lower following the supply/demand report that showed a reduction in US export expectations and an increase in Russian export projections. Corn was slightly higher and soybeans strongly higher, both a result of Argentine production issues as those crops head into pollination under expanding drought conditions and yield estimates rapidly declining. Soymeal is the leader higher as Argentina crushes most of its soybean crop and then exports the soymeal.

The cattle complex was mixed with live cattle moving slightly higher, following stronger cash markets. Extreme cold in the northern plains and more storms across the central plains have reduced cattle movement, and even closed some auction yards, catching packers short-bot again and helping to support cash prices. Feeder cattle struggled to move higher with the fats as producers begin to worry about having enough moisture available for pastures, with spring warm-up just around the corner.

Financial markets had another very active week. Stocks were sharply higher following the major selling from the previous week as investors looked to take advantage of cheaper values. The US dollar pulled back from its quick rally as the Europeans resumed talk about rising interest rates, supporting the euro but pressuring the dollar. Energies were weaker as weekly crude oil and distillate supplies increased more than trade expectations.

Enjoying Everyday Life Joyce Meyer

The Power of Intimacy with God Years ago, when I was just learning how to

develop a personal relationship with God, I had a lot of problems. I was a mess because of the abuse I had experienced growing up. As a result, I was insecure, unstable, unhappy most of the time, and I got angry whenever things didn’t go my way. It was a miserable way to live.

I eventually reached a point where I was willing to do whatever I had to do to have peace and to really enjoy my life. So I got serious about my relationship with God and started studying His Word and spending time with Him in prayer.

As I did this, I discovered that God wanted me to have abundant life and to live with His righteousness, peace and joy. But getting there was a battle!

John 10:10 says Jesus “came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance to the ull till it over o s (AM ) And Romans 14:17 says, “The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking hat one likes but o righteousness and eace and oy in the Holy Spirit.”

We can experience abundant life and have peace and joy in the Holy Spirit when we develop an intimate, personal relationship with God. And two main keys to having intimacy with God are truth and time.

You’ve probably heard the saying, “The truth will set you free!”

This is not just a wise proverb someone came up with; it’s actually taken from Scripture. Jesus says in John 8:31-32 that “if you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then you are truly My disci les And you ill kno the truth regarding salvation and the truth ill set you ree rom the enalty o sin If we’re going to be set free from sin – wrong mindsets, attitudes and behavior that are not like Christ – then we must face the truth about ourselves and choose to believe what God says in His Word more than what we think or feel or what others say. We need to be completely truthful with God and let Him into every part of our lives.

This means that when we have thoughts like, “I’m no good. I never do anything right. I’ll never amount to anything. Nothing ever works out right for me!” we talk back to ourselves and say what God’s Word says. For example: • God is love, He loves me, and nothing can separate me from His love! (1 John 4:16; John 3:16; Romans 8:38-39) • I am a new creation in Christ and I am made right with God because of what Jesus has done for me! (2 Corinthians 5:17, 21) • I can do whatever I need to do through Christ who gives me strength! (Philippians 4:13) • I trust God and put my faith in Him to cause everything in my life to work together for my good as I walk out His plans for my life! (Romans 8:28) These declarations are based on a few verses you can use to come against old mindsets that don’t line up with the truth of God’s Word.

Look up the scriptures referenced above in your Bible, and study them so you can get them rooted in your heart. It may help if you write them on note cards or in a journal and read them frequently.

As you meditate on God’s Word, you’ll renew your mind with the truth, because there is power in the Truth to set you free from anything that’s holding you back in your walk with Him. The second thing we must do to cultivate intimacy with God is spend regular, quality time with Him each day. Christianity isn’t about a eekly tri to church or ul lling a checklist o religious rituals that you feel obligated to do to stay on God’s good side.

Jesus died for us so we can have a personal relationship with Him, not a religion. You don’t just need to know about God…it’s more important for you to know HIM! God doesn t have rst lace in your li e you ill never be ul lled you ll never have real lasting eace and oy in anything you do or any circumstance you experience. But if you will abide in Christ, continually obeying His teachings and living by them, then you will be empowered to live with victory over sin. You’ll have true intimacy with God! If you’ve been struggling to grow in your relationship with God or you’re discouraged because of battles you can’t seem to get through, I want to encourage you to make a determined decision to spend regular, quality time alone with God each day. Even if you can only spend a few minutes with Him in the morning or during your lunch break at work, make this your number one priority.

God loves you so much! He wants you to succeed in being everything He created you to be and having the life Jesus came to give you. Make your relationship with Him the foundation of everything in your li e and you ill in the battles you ace because e ill ght or you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2-I.

Millennials remember the moment they move out of their parent’s basement, but the truly epic event of their adulting journey occurs the day they discover they will not live forever. Some morning in their forties, they flip open the newspaper and oddly find themselves focusing on the obituary column rather than the sports page. Over time, this becomes a habit and they begin studying the obituaries of complete strangers focusing mostly on their ages and cause of death.

If the deceased were younger but died of African Swamp Fever, readers find solace knowing since they never travel to Africa, Swamp Fever will never kill them.

This safety valve becomes problematic when the cause of death is not published as was the case in a death in Washington, D.C. last week. As community service, I have preemptively written this unpublished obituary, plus included the cause of death.

The Clinton-Obama machine, James Comey, D.C. Democrats, GOP Never Trumpers and the establishment media have all conspired to bring down a presidency. In the process, they destroyed a fundamental principle of American jurisprudence. We were a nation where the rule of law was equally applied to every citizen from the lowly cow doctor to the plumber to the leader of the free world. Not anymore. These truly nefarious individuals think they are above the law and have used the full force of government to destroy political adversaries and secure their power.

The Representative Nunes memo has exposed the evil Clinton-Obama cartel. Even though attempts were made to destroy incriminating texts, e-mails and servers those recovered reveal the ones in power directed government to spy on citizens. Former FBI Director James Comey and his underlings colluded to alter the outcome of a presidential election and then tried to block the transition of the duly elected new administration when their first effort failed. This is treason. Beltway Democrats joined forces with their favorite lap dog, the GOP Never Trumpers, to advance this Trump-Russia collusion scam while concealing the true Clinton-Obama-Russia scandal. No credibility exists in the swamp and this brings me to my point.

The single function of the media is to shine the light of truth on the three branches of government, but as they have swapped impartiality for progressivism, they will sanitize these revelations as being a “nothing-burger.” Consumers of the Fake News Network will dutifully believe as they are told. If swamp dwellers successfully sweep this conspiracy under the rug, the idea called America is dead.

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day by Attending Havre’s Bonspiel

The Hi-Line Curling Club will be hosting its league tournament on March 2-3 at the Havre Ice Dome, located at 2585 5th Avenue, but their showcase event, the 8th Annual Hammers and Hacks Hi-Line Curling Club Bonspiel, will take place March 16, 17, and 18.

Etymologically, bon has French roots, meaning good, and spiel comes from the high German and the old English cognates meaning to play. Eventually, in Britain and Scotland, this “good play” came to mean a match or tournament between curling clubs.

Curling is a sport played by two teams of four players on a sheet of ice. Its nickname, “The Roaring Game,” originates from the rumbling sound the 44-pound (19.96 kg) polished stones make when they travel across the ice. A curling rock, or stone, is made of rare, dense granite that is quarried on Scotland's Ailsa Craig.

According to Hi-Line Curling Club Vice President, Andy Herding, “one of the best bonspiels the Treasure State has to offer” will begin at 6:00 P.M. on March 16 when teams will register and draw numbers. The number drawn will determine a team’s placement on the tournament bracket in a round-robin con guration Tournament play will commence on Saturday morning. “If a team keeps winning,” Herding explained, “that team stays in the championship bracket, while any losing team will drop to the consolation bracket. Losers in the consolation will fall to the ‘C’ bracket. Games usually last until 8 or so, and during the day, there will be a pizza feed for the competitors.” emi- nal lay ill begin on unday morning and be ollo ed by the cham ionshi match scheduled or 11 00 A M The inning teams in rst through third place will receive trophies, and a novelty trophy will be presented to the last lace nisher “Each team is guaranteed a minimum of three games, and each competitor gets a t-shirt,” Herding said. Interested teams, which will be assessed an entry fee of $225, are encouraged to sign up early by emailing hilinecurling@ gmail.com or by calling Doug at 586-344-5260.

Past bonspiels have featured teams from Canada, Billings, Missoula, White sh Glasgo and Rudyard erding re orts that most o these teams will be returning this year, along with a few from Bozeman, plus some of our league teams. There is no charge for spectators, and everyone is more than welcome.”

After last year’s bonspiel, curling appeared on the Montana PBS series Backroads of Montana, which has aired regularly on PBS since 1991 when the Backroads crew began travelling across Montana to highlight its unique people and places. The episode “A Stone’s Throw from Anywhere” features the curling team from Rudyard as they compete in one of the oldest team sports known to man. Given that notoriety and the recent winter Olympics in PyeongChang, which included both women’s and men’s curling events, Herding is expecting increased interest in this year’s bonspiel.
