GREAT FALLS - The Havre High girls basketball went into the Class A state tournament with a 21-0 record, but getting win number 22 over Hamilton, the Blue Ponies first-round opponent, was anything but easy or routine. In a rematch of the 2014 state championship game, Havre and Hamilton went head-to-head Thursday in Great Falls at the Four Seasons Arena and thanks to a strange ending, the Ponies won 43-39 to advance to the Class A semifinals tonight against Browning. After a de...

For decades, John Steinhardt performed at nightclubs and bars around the world, but recently he has spent much of his time sharing the stage with young musicians at Hays-Lodge Pole High School. Steinhardt, who sings and plays guitar, keyboard, harmonica, trombone, trumpet, bugle, banjo and drums, was hired by the school district last year as its first music director in eight years. Altogether, Steinhardt has 15 years of experience teaching music at schools in California,...
Karter Scheele's parents enrolled him in a wrestling program when he was 4, hoping to find a fitting outlet for their high-energy boy who was driving his mother crazy. Everyone was happy with the results. His parents got a more docile child, and Karter found an activity he loved. Two years later, Karter was diagnosed with the degenerative joint disease Perthes in his left hip and hasn't wrestled since. "The blood flow is interrupted to his left hip bone and it doesn't get...

EMILY MAYER It seems Long George didn’t like the verdict handed down to him by a jury of his peers last week. The Havre Plaindealer in its March 9, 1918 edition carried the following: FRENCH LEAVE TAKEN BY GEORGE FRANCIS Failed to Appear in District Court for Sentence George Francis, who was convicted by a jury in district court last week of horse stealing, is now a fugitive of justice. Following the report of the jury, Francis was given until Monday to attend to business affairs, and for that purpose was released under b...

I’m calling it a quirk, but if I were hard-pressed to be honest about it, I’d have to admit that it’s a failing or a weakness or a glitch, even, in my brain. I suffer from homophonia. That’s not a word. I just made it up. I started with a real word, though: homophone, which describes how words can sound the same, or nearly the same, but be spelled differently and have completely different meanings. I occasionally mix up my homophones, usually when I’m tired or in a hurry, and...
Editor, The Rotary Club is preparing to turn the Big Sandy High School gym into a “Wild Safari!” This will help us forget the cold and snow we have been experiencing. Tickets are available for the “Wild Safari Dreams” Banquet, March 17, and can be purchased at Wells Fargo Bank, The Grocery Store, Ophus Auction Service and Sheehy’s Law Office or your favorite Rotarian.

Seniors will be watching closely as Congress engages in ongoing federal budget and policy deliberations in the coming months. At AARP, we will continue to monitor any proposed changes to Medicare, Medicaid (including long-term care benefits), Social Security, and other programs that so many of us, our children and grandchildren rely on to maintain the our health and dignity. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps) can be a critical piece of that equation for many Montana seniors....

GREAT FALLS - Throughout the 2017-18 season, things have come relatively easy for the Havre High girls basketball team. The Blue Ponies entered the Class A state tournament with a 21-0 record and only a handful of those wins were even close. During the season, CMR and Rocky Boy, two teams from Class AA and Class B respectively, came the closest to beating Havre, as each team lost by six at home. Yet, at some point, you just knew the Ponies would run into a tough game and in th...
After taking the hard route to the Class B state boys basketball tournament, the Rocky Boy Stars are now just one win away from playing for a state championship. Rocky Boy, the second seed from the Northern B, took on Southern B champion Three Forks at Dahlberg Arena in Missoula Thursday and used an early 14-0 run to take control of the game. The Stars eventually knocked off Three Forks 67-56 to earn a place in the semifinals tonight against undefeated Bigfork, which beat...
Box Elder has a lot of stars up and down its lineup. But in the first round of the Class C state tournament the Bears turned to a player who's name may not get as much publicity as some of her more well-known teammates. Nikayla Anderson's name is now etched in Box Elder lore. With just two seconds remaining in overtime of Thursday's game between the Bears and Twin Bridges inside the Butte Civic Center, Anderson had the ball in her hands, and promptly sank a shot that go will...

Out our way God is always ready to teach us something new if we will just be patient and learn to open our eyes, ears and minds. As most of you know by now, I have given my horse, Goliath, the nickname of "Doc" because he has often been my professor at the Institute of Horse Sense Theology. Aside from lessons on humility conducted by tossing me into the cactus when I get a bit cocky, he has also taught me lessons in patience, I am not exactly a handy guy or a fast learner....
This week we will continue to look at some of the information presented by Howard Dayton in his book “Money and Marriage God’s Way.” It may take time for a Christian couple to learn how to be a blessing to one another when it comes to financial matters. Many couples choose 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 as one of the Scriptures to be read at their wedding. Love is patient and love is kind. That says easy but does hard, as my father-in-law used to say. When one spouse is not stewarding money the way the other spouse thinks he or sh...
A clock You know, Lord, some time ago (probably way back, mid-last century) someone wrote some interesting things about the invention of a brand new kind of an alarm clock; this “new” clock was one that woke you up by releasing a cloud of perfume. If, perchance, one had a stuffed up nose, the backup system was flashing lights. Clock manufactures know that exciting any of the five senses will do the trick of waking up a slumbering human. To excite the sense of smell, wouldn’t one really rather be awakened to the aroma of fresh...
