On the wall at the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum is a new display of collectible dolls from all over the world. These are expensive dolls of Native Americans, African-Americans, working people, Betsy Ross sewing an American flag and dozens of others. They are mostly fine, handmade dolls, representing a bygone era. The dolls were originally collected by Margaret Turner Clack, wife of the early 20th century businessman H. Earl Clack for whom the museum was named. The dolls were...

All burning associated with debris disposal or agricultural clearing is prohibited until further notice. The burn ban applies to all outdoor burning except recreational cooking fires.

About 70 low-income families in the Havre area will be getting a free Easter dinner through Salvation Army and Havre Food Bank. The dinner will consist of turkey or ham, potatoes, vegetables and a pie, said Trina Crawford, director of the Salvation Army’s Havre Service Center. People are asked to call the Salvation Army at 265-6411 to set up an appointment to come to the office and be interviewed. The special program will help people “who might now have the fine dinner that the rest of us have all the time,” she said. Peopl...
Clyde Murray, a veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom, has traumatic brain injury, 70 percent PTSD, only has 61 percent of his lungs remaining and those are just a few of the conditions he has, and he struggles to get the new U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Choice program to cover. That was just one of the stories told to the staff of Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., who came to the Havre-Hill County Library Thursday to hear from local residents about the controversial...

By Emily Mayer In last week’s column, I mentioned that the Hill County Democrat was quite upset and vocal about the apparent goings-on of dances hosted at Havre High School. The Democrat continued its diatribe in this week’s issue. I thought it would be entertaining to read, so here is the entry in the Feb. 26, 1916 issue: DANCING AT HIGH SCHOOL In a recent issue of this paper we requested the school board of Havre to meet and pass a resolution prohibiting in future all kinds of suggestive dancing and drinking whiskey in the...

Sunrise Financial, a mysterious company apparently based in Great Falls, is buying property, most of them homes, at taxes sales and then holding onto them to let them rot. The reason for this is uncertain. Many experts can't see that there is profit to be made from the surreptitious business dealings of this rather unusual firm. The effect of all of this is crystal clear. Neighborhoods in Havre and probably throughout much of Montana are falling into disrepair and have lost...
This week the Havre Daily News published a series of articles which indicate the county has a mystery afoot in the housing market but, fear not, I am a font of answers that will set your mind at ease. A mysterious entity is buying up properties with delinquent taxes and not doing anything with the properties but letting them go derelict. It’s causing a noticeable blight in this county and others across the state. It’s aliens. I was going to lead into that better, maybe giv...

There’s an interesting Bible verse in Psalm 45:1. It reads, “My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” How can a tongue be a pen? Possibly in several ways; here are a few ideas: First, much of ancient history was preserved through story-telling before people began to write down their experiences. Even after writing became common, much of history still depended on preserving oral communications. For example, picture two soldiers, Fred and Ralph, in a trench on the frontlines in World War II. Fred has been seriously wound...
Now Jesus withdrew to the seaside with his disciples, and great crowds from Galilee followed him. In addition, great numbers of people also came from Judea and Jerusalem and the surrounding areas, for the word about the great things he was doing had spread across the region. Jesus had his disciples get a boat ready for the crowds were so vast that people were crushing each other trying to get close and be touched by him, for many were thus being healed. Some came who had...

She knew it the second it happened. How? Because she’d been there before. The second that she felt that pain in her knee, Montana State University-Northern senior Rachelle Bennett not only knew what had just happened, but she knew exactly what lay ahead. That’s because, when Bennett tore ligaments in her knee in the final seconds of a Jan. 8 game against Carroll College inside the Armory Gymnasium, it wasn’t the first time. Unfortunately, Bennett had been there, done that....
GREAT FALLS — For the past couple of seasons, fans of Northern C boys basketball have wanted to see the Box Elder Bears and the Belt Huskies square off. And now, tonight, they will finally get to see the matchup we have all been waiting for. Before facing the Huskies, who defeated Sunburst in the semifinals Thursday at the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls, the Bears took care of some business of their own, demolishing Denton-Geyser-Stanford 74-52 to clinch a spot in the N...
The Havre High girls basketball team may have had to play in a new divisional format this season, but despite experiencing something new, the results for Havre were strikingly similar. The Blue Ponies, who took part for the first time in the Eastern A Super Divisional Thursday in Billings at the Rimrock Auto Arena, downed the Laurel Locomotives 58-50 to advance to the Eastern A semifinals. The win also means that the Ponies, who are 12-7 on the season, are one win away from a...
For the first time in Frontier Conference play, the Montana State University-Northern Lights were able to put together back-to-back wins. And with two home games left in the regular season, the Lights would love to do nothing more than do it again. Northern (6-10, 17-11) will try and follow up last weekend’s sweep of UGF and Carroll College with wins on the final weekend of the regular season. Tonight, the Lights host No. 6 Lewis-Clark State (25-3, 13-3) followed by S...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights have played in a lot of big games this season. In fact, Northern has played eight of them against NAIA nationally ranked opponents. So, the fact that this weekend’s regular season Frontier Conference finale doubleheader in Havre is so big shouldn’t bother the Skylights too much. The No. 16 Skylights (10-6, 21-6) start their big home finale tonight with a monster showdown with the No. 12 Lewis-Clark State Warriors (14-2, 23-...
