Fort Belknap Indian Reservation Council President Andrew Werk Jr. told the Hill County Commissioners Thursday at the Hill County Courthouse that everyone has to work hand-in-hand to assure all Milk River water users’ needs are met and secured for the future. “It really is about sharing and trying to look down the road,” Werk said. “… I’m thinking about our grandkids, and that means all of us, and their grandkids as water becomes more scarce and more competitive.” Several representatives of Fort Belknap Indian Reservation j...

I am a passionate defender of property rights. They are a foundational principle of our U.S. and Montana Constitutions. But as a resident and owner in a Montana community with a homeowners association, or HOA, I am both saddened and outraged that SB 300 is currently being rushed through our state’s Legislature. It is an affront to the principle of protecting property rights, contracts, and local democracy by its almost certain unintended consequences if signed into law. In fact, as even the lawmakers’ own Legislative Ser...
It’s spring, so the annual harassment has begun about my fat horses. It didn’t help that we went to see some friends over the weekend and all their horses looked trim and fit. Apparently the difference between our horses’ physiques was glaring, but I came to our defense. I was, like, “What are those faint ripples on their torsos between their shoulders and hips?” And everyone was, like, “Ribs.” So I was all, “Ribs? I’ve heard of them. Are you sure it’s not some trick of light...
By Emily Mayer This week’s Havre Plaindealer edition 100 years ago was packed full of local news. Former Havre Mayor Louis Newman was running for mayor of Great Falls and had secured the Democratic nomination over the incumbent mayor. Louis “Shorty” Newman, not to be confused with Christopher “Shorty” Young, was elected the first time to shore up the city of Havre’s finances. A partially built sewer system had been constructed, but no water system existed to make it operate. Newman found the finances back east, thus ensuring...

In the beginning of 2018 when Havreite Sarah Manuel started the Streatery, from it’s first day, local, organic food has been a priority of the business. “I would rather have it be tons of extra work to source things locally and source things organically to make sure the quality is there, rather than lowering the standards just to keep the business going,” Manuel said. “Because at that, the mission is gone, and you can’t have a successful business without a solid mission....

Once Jesus was asked what one must do to inherit eternal life (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus turned the question around and asked what that person thought the scriptures said. He responded that we are to love God with our entire being (body, soul, and spirit) and love our neighbor as we love ourself. Jesus told him he was correct and that this summed up everything the law encompasses. But, not quite satisfied, the person then asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Personally, I wonder did he really not know who his neighbor was? Or, was...
You know, Lord, it’s April — a new season has arrived! There were new baby animals all over our prairie farm/ranch when we were kids back home. The birds were back. The trees were budding. Tulip, and daffodils and some lovely prairie flowers were up and in bloom; if no tulips at our house, they were at Aunty’s house in town. Spring plowing/seeding had begun. April is a new lease on life! The countryman will tell you he’s turning the soil to prepare the seedbed so he will be ready to plant oats or corn or grain or wheat....
We need support as we “let go” — sharing the gloom of pain. Folks who’ve been down this lonely road know grief can really drain. Remembering what used to be can make us laugh or cry. We must let go, but this we know, we’ll see ‘them’ by and by. Family and friends do give support with friendship, faith and hope. We, too, reach out to lend a hand which helps us all to cope. We share the pain in our darkness, when our life seems askew, But good memories are great to share and that’s important, too. We share with those who’re on...
Out our way, there hasn’t been a grizzly bear sighted in the Bear Paw Mountains for a few generations or more. Yet it hasn’t always been that way. Years ago, when I was manager at the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum in Havre, however, we got in a book written at the turn of the last century about officers from Fort Assiniboine hunting grizzly in the Bear Paws and the surrounding area. Many tourist we had in the museum were surprised to learn that the Glacier Park and Yellowstone area was not their original habitats. If you che...

The Havre High tennis teams don’t have many opportunities to play on their home courts, so when the Blue Ponies do get that chance, it’s a really big deal.

The action starts today with the Pony varsity squads in a double-dual against the Hardin Bulldogs. Then, the Havre Invite, a tournament-style format, will take place all day Saturday. “We’re really...
Spring football is all about development and in their second week of practices, the Montana State University-Northern Lights continue to make strides. While it’s hard to measure progress in the spring because there is no scoreboard, head coach Andrew Rolin believes in competition and part of that includes situational drills that pit the offense versus the defense. “I just think it’s important that you rep situational football,” Rolin said. “You have stuff on the line. You...
