By Emily Mayer Just like today, during the winter months, gatherings of various sorts took place in Havre. Some were entertaining and others were educational. For several weeks, large advertisements were in the newspapers announcing a Short Course for farmers in the area. This week 100 years ago, a course in home economics was announced in the Feb. 3, 1917, issue of The Havre Plaindealer, and would be of particular interest to women in the area. VALUABLE COURSE IN HOME ECONOMICS Women Will Find Much Interest in Course The eve...
At some point, nearly every worker faces a moment when they need leave, whether it’s to care for an aging parent, help a family member after surgery, recover from their own illness or injury, or welcome a new child into the family. As the Montana Legislature debates ways to improve the lives of Montanans, I wanted to take a moment to highlight one important issue. Paid family and medical leave has been making national headlines, and here in Montana we have the opportunity to design a plan that is unique to the needs of our st...
Dear editor, Butte Rep. Jim Keane told a joint subcommittee Jan. 27 it should not just thank veterans for their service but it should “do something.” He wanted the members, and the Legislature, to pass an infrastructure bill that would fund, among other things, a veterans home in southwest Montana. There are approximately 100,000 veterans living in Montana. That’s approximately 10 percent of our citizens who have served our state and country with honor. I served nearly eight years in the U.S. Army as an enlisted soldi...
If I’ve learned one thing about myself over the years, it’s that I love to eat. I eat like I can’t live without food, and I have zero interest in ending this habit. I don't think it’s just a complete lack of strong will and good character. It feels like a biological impulse for self-preservation, and I am going to continue eating every day, several times a day. Don’t judge me poorly for being happy in this comfort zone. I will admit to one thing that is causing a problem. I recently have been forced to plan meals ahead of...

Do dear ones see that we have changed; and lift us up in prayer? We sometimes feel we’ll drift away — that life is not real fair. We miss our dear, they’ve gone ahead; we struggle hard, some days. We tell stores or sing some songs as we give God our praise. These last few days some fear set in — so — where did we come from? We seem so far away today, our mind is mostly numb. We think ‘bout them most all the time. They seem to call: “COME HOME!” “Let me tell you that I love you, no more you’ll need to roam!” We keep on m...
The joy of laughter You know, Lord, February is a busy month: Ground Hog’s Day, Candlemas Day — or the Feast of Presentation of the Lord, on Feb. 2 every year. Of course, we have Valentine’s Day with flowers, poems, chocolates and laughter. A long while ago someone shared a blurb about the Joy of Laughter by Harleigh M. Rosenberger. It goes like this: “Laughter is good medicine, especially when you can laugh at yourself. I read of a man who used to remind his friends, ‘Remember Rule Number Four.’ When they asked what it was...
Mark 11:12-21: 'The fig tree' Out our way, folks come to depend on each other, and it is something we tend to take for granted. Farmers help each other seed and bring in the crops. Ranchers help out at each other's roundups and brandings, and that same sense of neighbor is reflected in the small town as well. A classic example is the volunteer fire department. In the tiny town of Lingle, Wyoming, population 426, I joined the local fire department and became a "mudflap," as...
Conducting funerals is an integral function of pastoring. I cannot think of a better opportunity to proclaim the name of Jesus than during a funeral. People may be grieving at a funeral, but they may also have a heightened awareness of the still small voice of the Holy Spirit; more so than at any other time. In a previous book, I stated that I like to script many of my comments at funerals. You can always add to the script. However, if you begin to cry, it is much easier to read your message than to preach from your heart....

Press release MISSOULA - Americans named bison our first-ever "national mammal" last spring. But this winter, 900 bison from the prized Yellowstone National Park herd will be shipped to slaughter. Why? Why are we killing almost 20 percent of the largest wild bison herd in the lower 48? That's one of the questions at the heart of a new podcast and public radio show that premieres at 6 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 5, on Montana Public Radio, a service of the University of Montana....

The Montana State University-Northern Lights had two road duals left this season heading into Thursday night. The first of those duals didn't go how the Lights had hoped. The No. 3 Lights were in Prescott, Arizona, Thursday night to take on Western Region rival Embry-Riddle University, where the Eagles pulled off a 27-16 upset. EAU may not be ranked in the NAIA Coaches Poll, but the Eagles still have firepower and it showed against the Lights as the Eagles won four straight...

With a six-game Frontier Conference road trip in front of them, and the nationally ranked UM-Western Bulldogs waiting for them Saturday night, the Lights went into the Fortin Center and knocked off the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears 66-61. On the strength of 13 3-pointers and a tenacious defense, the Lights found...
Over the past few years, Nate Korb has forged quite an athletic career for himself at Havre High school. During his time as a Blue Pony, he has played football, basketball and tennis. Next season, however, Korb will turn his focus to football only, and he will do that in the Mining City as he has committed to play college football for Montana Tech of the Frontier Conference. Korb, who has been weighing offers from both Tech and Montana State University-Northern, chose the...
