By MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — Montana U.S. Attorney Mike Cotter said Friday that he was shocked by the unprofessional manner in which he and 45 other Obama appointees were asked to turn in their resignations by the end of the day. Cotter told The Associated Press that he received a call Friday afternoon from Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente telling him that President Donald Trump had requested that he and other U.S. attorneys submit their resignations effective at 5 p.m. "I thought it was pretty u...

By Emily Mayer Every now and then, an article will pop up in newspapers from days of yore which also coincide with events today. Sometimes, it can be a little déjà vu. At a recent meeting, the Hill County Commissioners mentioned that work would be done on the viaduct and the Milk River Bridge. The following ran in the March 10, 1917 issue of The Havre Plaindealer. This one is for Mark, Mike and Diane: REPAIRING APPROACH TO RAILROAD VIADUCT Commissioners Order a Much Needed Improvement Recognizing a long-existing need, attenti...
“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” — Robin Williams Words and ideas are the stock in trade in Pamville this week. • Let’s start with the Environmental Protection Association vs. words. The Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, a group of scientists and academics who track changes to about 25,000 federal government webpages in their nerdy free time, reported Tuesday that the EPA’s Office of Science and Technology Policy no longer l...
In Havre we have Montana Actors’ Theatre, and for a town with a 100-mile buffer zone from the side effects of civilization, we’re fortunate to have any theater, much less good theater. If someone — anyone — would open a restaurant that serves something other than sandwiches and pizza, we’d be in prairie paradise. In high school, I took one semester of theater. I can’t tell you the horrors of standing on a stage — in front of other people, saying words and stuff. Once, long ago, someone pointed a gun and threatened to...
It was with both amusement and embarrassment that I read the article printed in the Havre Daily News on Feb. 28, 2017, regarding the new Hill County attorney, Jessica Cole-Hodgkinson. Let me be up front — as is my habit — that I work for the Hill County Personnel Office, which is supervised by the Hill County attorney. I have served the Hill County community as Personnel Clerk for 14 years, pioneering the position under the expert tutelage of former Hill County Attorney and District Judge Dave Rice and former Hill County Att...

Praying for the sick is a wonderful piece of pastoral ministry. The challenge is to know how to pray for each need that is presented. Do you remember how Jesus would slip away from the crowds in order to spend time with His Father before doing ministry? Do the same as Jesus. When someone requests prayer, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart so that a river of living water will flow through you. Each ministry opportunity will be different. As humans we make poor life choices and then expect a miraculous healing to...
You know, Lord, several of us were chatting the other day about being in Your presence when one gal shared that one year as a teacher of an English class her daughter was one of her students. She said that was very special, she felt so blessed to have her daughter there. Our group was silent for a moment; then one chap quietly shared that sitting on the couch with his wife at the end of the day — to him, that was sacred. He said that as they sat there, close together, they “fit” nicely together, side by side, and liste...
Mark 12: 13-27 Out our way, folk who work with horses know that every horse as two brains - one on the left and one on the right. When you are training a horse, you have to train both sides. I recall when Goliath was all a flutter over the "prairie jellyfish" as someone dubbed those plastic sacks from Walmart and IGA that somehow don't get recyced but get free to roam the prairies with the wind. My pal and mentor, Rick, taught me that the horse needs to learn the sack is...
