  • Don't fall back on springing time forward this weekend

    Updated Mar 8, 2019

    WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s no time like the present to watch the shifting sands of the hourglass foretell the inevitable forward march of time. It’s time again to abide by the old adage to spring forward (though it’s not yet spring) and mark the shift from standard to daylight saving time. The change occurs at 2 a.m. local time Sunday across most of the United States, so set your clocks an hour ahead before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight will begin to last longer into the evening, but the sun will take an hour longer...

  • Ponies cut down Loggers

    Chris Peterson|Updated Mar 8, 2019

    GREAT FALLS - After playing at an unusual start time, it took a little time for the Havre High girls basketball team to get going Thursday inside the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls. But after a sluggish first half against the Libby Loggers in the quarterfinals of the Class A girls state tournament, the Blue Ponies dominated the final 16 minutes, outscoring the Loggers 37-8 in the second half on their way to a 62-28 win. Havre (21-1) will take on Laurel in the semifinals...

  • Celebrating History: Play enjoyed, cold weather sends man back to California

    Updated Mar 8, 2019

    By Emily Mayer The production of “The Long Road” was enjoyed by many Havreites, and here is a short accounting of the entertaining event found in the March 1, 1919, edition of The Havre Plaindealer: FARM BUREAU PLAY IS ENJOYED BY AUDIENCE The Long Trail played to a large audience at the high school auditorium Thursday evening.

  • View from the North 40: Huh, the time change has a sucker punch

    Pam Burke|Updated Mar 8, 2019

    Twice a year, when the time change comes around, I am stunned by the amount of whining and complaining people do over one hour of sleep more or less. It’s an hour, not the end of times, you’ll survive. You’ll even adjust; it’s true. You will adjust, your pets will adjust, your kids will adjust, your bio-rythms will adjust, even your clocks will adjust given a minimum of effort on your part. It’s not like the sun stops shining, the earth stops spinning on its proper axis or the...

  • Better elk management needed in Montana

    Updated Mar 8, 2019

    There’s an old saying in Montana that elk make people do stupid things. There’s a lot of truth to that saying. Whether you’re a dedicated elk hunter, a landowner with 400 head of elk on a haystack or a wildlife manager seeking to balance the needs of both interests, elk have a way of making simple issues complex, and bringing out some of our worst traits. As elk populations expand in central and eastern Montana, and as elk use private land across the state more and more as refuge from two and four legged predators, new confli...

  • Out Our Way: Old 'new' trails - Isaiah 46:1-4

    Updated Mar 8, 2019

    Out our way, one discovers that there are many trails to follow and not all lead to where you want or need to go. I certainly got mixed up more than a few times and I suspect I was smarter than the cows we had to move, although at times I think Charlie might argue that. Even with an idea of why we were moving the herd and where we were going, I still took a wrong trial at times thinking it was a shortcut or because it looked easier than the one we were on. But Charlie knew the area and the trails and would call me back. And...

  • Pastor's Corner: Open your heart and mind during Lent

    Updated Mar 8, 2019

    Lent is a season in the life in the Church when we observe the forty days leading to Jesus’ death on the cross. It began this week with Ash Wednesday when clergy all over the world dispense ashes — usually made by burning the palm fronds distributed on last year’s Palm Sunday — making the sign of the cross on the bowed foreheads before them. As they “impose” or “dispense” the ashes, the pastor or priest reminds each Christian of Genesis 3:19: “For dust you are and to dust you shall return.” It is the beginning of our preparat...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Mar 8, 2019

    You know, Lord, going through an old “salted away” pile of papers, it sometimes is fascinating to see what had been stashed. Up popped a poem by Phil Perkins, date unknown. Let’s see what he has to say. Ready? “My daily wish is that we may see good in those who pass our way. Find in each a worthy trait that we shall gladly cultivate. See in each one who’s passing by, the better things that beautify. A gently word spoken with cheer, a kindly face, a smile sincere. I pray each day that we may view the things that warm one’s hea...
