One week ago, the Havre High tennis teams were in a tough spot, having to call off their 2018 Havre Invitational tennis tournament.

Weather permitting, the Ponies will be at the Bill Vaughey Memorial Tennis Courts today and Saturday for duals against the Hardin Bulldogs and Lewistown Eagles. Havre was scheduled to attend the Class A Duals today and Saturday in Cut Bank, but that meet...
By ROBERT BURNS, JILL COLVIN and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON - Allied missiles struck at the heart of Syrian chemical weapons arsenal in a show of force and resolve aimed at punishing the Assad government for a suspected poison gas attack against civilians and deterring the possible future use of such banned weapons.

If you have been out to Havre Animal Shelter, called about a stray animal or seen the man in the blue "Havre Animal Control" shirt, you have probably met Pete Federspiel; the man with the big smile and a passion for helping the Havre community animals. Federspiel took over the shelter in May of 2016 and since then has been a sort of one-man show when it comes to taking care of the Animal Shelter. Federspiel is not only the Animal Control Officer but during the weekdays is the...

If sympathy was a tangible thing that you could use to fill a room, all the sympathy my siblings and I got from our parents when we were children would amount to a vast, empty hall filled with nothing but echoes of our complaints. Maybe a few crickets taking advantage of the awesome acoustics. I claim three parents so, sure, the odds are that there were moments of sympathy. Let’s put one box of sympathy in that room, in a far corner — one of those sturdy, but little, box...

By Emily Mayer The Havre Plaindealer announced in its April 13, 1918, edition that Hill County was required to send 50 more men off to training camps to prepare them to fight in the Great War. A list would be released the following week. A large advertisement was front page center urging people to “Plant a War Garden, Help Win the War.” The goal was for American families who were able to plant a food garden to become self-sustainable in order to supply food for the Allies. You could write for leaflets free of charge from eit...
As a whole, the city of Havre has gotten a break from the snow in recent days. But all the damage that was done to the Havre Middle School track with record of levels of snow, is still being undone and in large part because of that, the Havre Lions track meet won't take place this weekend. The annual track meet was scheduled for Saturday at the Havre Middle School track, but the surface just isn't ready for competition. It is the second time a meet that was supposed to be...
The Havre High softball team finally got on the field earlier this week, which was still a couple weeks later than expected.

You know, Lord, more than one of us has thought, even declared, that if we could just live through this day, we could probably handle about anything that comes along!! But, guess what, we’ve all done it, planning to do more than we could possibly manage in just one day. Cousin “Marie” sent a clipping: “How to Ruin Your Day Without Really Trying.” That fits perfectly for today as we’ve planned about twice as much as can possibly be accomplished! Then, unfortunately we probably demand perfection, not only of ourselves b...
We continue to look at material from the book “Never Enough?” by Ron Blue with Karen Guess. Matthew 6:19-21 “Don’t collect for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But collect for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don’t break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” We should give because giving breaks the power of money. There is a freedom in giving away money or goods. Our...
Out our way, the cycle of seasons and their labors just keeps rolling along. Every task leads to another and another after that and so forth. It is a cycle of seasons and we learn to rejoice in each one. I recall in college singing a song called “Doney Gal” in which a cowhand laments to his horse, “We’re alone Doney Gal in the wind and sun, but a cowboy’s work is never done.” I suspect most cowboys, farmers, businessfolk, shopkeepres, teachers and students and especially moms and dads would agree with that. But it’s amazin...
