He continued his training at Montana State University-Northern, studied in London, twice, acted in New York, did an acting stint in Guyana, South America, and directed and acted in Missoula, before coming back full circle to where it all started - Havre. Olson has a text and performance doctorate from Kingston University London with a focus on...
In the last installment of a series of talks about prescription medication abuse, a panel of six experts shared their expertise and a recovering addict shared her struggle. The last segment of Bitter Pill was held in Montana State University-Northern's Hensler Auditorium Thursday night. Wedged among the experts was "G," who used just a letter to maintain anonymity and described herself as a "recovering addict in recovery." G is part of a 12-step recovery community which...

By Emily Mayer Regular readers of this column will remember that late last year, R.X. Lewis, former owner of The Havre Plaindealer and Havre Promoter, passed away. The Promoter lost another owner, this time it was L. W. Pierson. The following article was found on the front page of The Havre Plaindealer’s Jan. 27, 1917, issue: LOU PIERSON DIES AT LOS ANGELES Prominent Havre Man Succumbed Monday Last With the suddenness that becomes the faculties beyond the point of realization came the announcement by wire on Monday morning l...
I sat on this news for a week. A week. A long week. The stress of it — oi vey — but it was worth the trouble out of respect for the Office of the President of the United States. Now though, the inauguration ceremony of Donald J. Trump as 45th president has occurred in a civil display of the peaceful passing of power, a hallmark of democracy, and the era of the reality show-businessman president has begun, guided by an adherence to “alternative facts.” No matter which side of...
On Jan. 17, 2017, the Havre City Council voted to pass the “Proclamation of Support for the City and Citizens of Whitefish, Montana.” The proclamation, “denouncing hate, bigotry, and intolerance,” served to show Havre’s solidarity with nearly identical proclamations unanimously passed by the Whitefish City Council, the Lewistown City Commission, and the Great Falls City Commission. The proclamation was drafted as resistance against the Dec. 23, 2016, call by Andrew Anglin for an armed, anti-Semitic “March on Whitefish.” Angli...

Sandra "Sandie" Jean Bennett, 68, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2017 at Northern Montana Hospital and is resting peacefully with our Lord. Sandie was born July 16, 1948, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Havre, Montana, to Jack and Fern (Pagel) Harding. She attended schools in Havre, and graduated from Havre High School in 1966. Sandie enjoyed caring for people and subsequently pursued a career in nursing at Northern Montana College. She graduated as a licensed practical nurse...
We know, Lord, that You perform many wonders for us; many times we hardly pay attention. We should “focus” on what is going on right around us. A friend observed a blessing the other day. She shared that she just happened to be sitting near two gals chatting at a diner. They were sharing, caring, encouraging each other when suddenly the head cook appeared with two dessert plates, which they had not ordered. Each plate had a wedge of triple chocolate cake! He quietly and quickly set the plates down, wished them well and the...
I’ve spent a great deal of time the past few weeks pondering “call.” At least here at First Lutheran, our readings on Sunday mornings recently have been peppered with language of calling. Jesus calls disciples. John the Baptist calls us to repentance and preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven. Mary and Joseph are called to relationship with one another, and to put their trust in what God is up to. Over and over again we hear this language of call; and we read about God’s people being called to unexpected places: Into the dar...
Out our way, folks working cattle sometimes sense when a cow/calf unit are about to head the wrong way, and they move quickly to head them off before they get too far off the right trail. Goliath is a master of this, and once, when working three very rangy units up in the Bear Paws, he read them more quickly than I did; he moved to turn them before I even knew what was happening. I also discovered that it is a lot easier to head off a wayward cow the moment she starts in the...

Editor’s note: The computer program provided by the Montana state government to print media reports on court actions does not always list all fines assessed. The following cases were resolved by Havre City Judge Virginia Seigel in October. —— Celisia Leeann Eagleman, born in 1991, was fined $100 and sentenced to 180 days in jail, 175 days suspended and five credited, for false reports to law enforcement. In a later case Eagleman was fined $185 and sentenced to 180 days in jail, all days suspended, for social host. —— Ch...
Last season, the Havre High boys basketball team was swept by the Malta Mustangs. But come this Saturday, it will be the Blue Ponies that can finish off a season sweep as the two teams get set to meet in Havre. The two Hi-Line rivals that play twice annually, will meet again inside the HHS gymnasium at 5:30 p.m., and with a win, the Ponies will not only get their fourth win of the season, they will also enact some revenge on their Class B rivals. While non-conference games...
The Havre High girls basketball team doesn't always focus intensely on non-conference games. But after a tough home loss and the fact that the Blue Ponies host Malta, the two-time defending Class B state champion, logic tells you, Havre will be up for the next game. In addition to those factors, there has always been a healthy rivalry between Havre and Malta, but in recent years, it's the M-Ettes, who have dominated, winning six straight games in the series. The Ponies will...
For the last two weeks, the Montana State University-Northern Lights have had to begin a weekend coming off a tough loss. And in each of those last two games, the Lights responded the right way. Thursday night, the Lights made it three-for-three. Northern not only bounced back from last Saturday's loss to Lewis-Clark State Thursday in the Armory Gymnasium, the Lights also exacted a little revenge on their opponent as MSU-N handed the UGF Argos a 73-62 defeat. "I'm extremely pr...
It's not often that the Havre High swim teams get to compete at home in the final tune-up before the State Swimming Championships. But that's exactly what the Blue Ponies get to do this season. On Saturday, Havre High will host a highly competitive field of teams in an invitational meet at the Havre Community Pool. It's a field that will include Class AA powers from Kalispell, as well as some new and old Class A rivals. But the competition won't be the only thing that's...
The University of Great Falls Argos have had a rough go of it in January. But, that didn't stop them from coming into the Armory Gymnasium and putting a scare into the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. On a night when Natalee Faupel became the all-time leading scorer in MSU-N women's basketball history, she also helped the No. 11 Skylights close in dramatic fashion, as they finished off a great comeback with a 10-0 run to beat the Argos 70-64 Thursday night in the...
