It took four years of tilling the ground before Bob Doney had a plot that could produce, he said. Once that plot off Bullhook Drive was fertile, Doney was off and growing and hasn't looked back since. Every year for the last decade, Doney has not only grown more food than he and his wife could eat, but he has given most of it - three-quarters of it - away to the Havre Food Bank. Giving, Doney, said, is something he picked up from his parents - much like growing food. Doney cre...
Although the originator of last year’s back-to-school supply drive moved on, the employees of Tom LaFond State Farm are aiming to continue the annual supply drive. Office Manager Angela Twombly said last year was such a success that the office employees would love to be able to help area students in the same capacity this year. Students at all three public Havre elementary schools, along with those at St. Jude Thaddeus School as well as some Havre Middle School students, received necessary supplies last year. In addition t...

By Emily Mayer Apparently, people were taking it easy either attending the Chautauqua or trying to escape the heat by going to the mountains 100 years ago. As with both last week and this week, there isn’t much news in The Havre Plaindealer. In war news, those who were ranching sheep were encouraged not to slaughter them, but to keep them for breeding purposes; motorists were warned to save gasoline (rationing, anyone? It wasn’t just World War II); and the Army was assuring draftees that they would be placed where their skill...

I certainly never expected to spend an afternoon in the emergency room of the local hospital on my holiday with my son and granddaughter. Just an innocent scratch, I tried to tell myself. Lexi and I, along with Deckard the Dog, had walked the newly-hacked trail to the “Fort” in the woods, constructed by Lexi’s grandpa and father. If you’ve never been around wild blackberries, you need to know, the vines are indestructible. Left to grow uninhibited, blackberry brambles will ev...
This has been a tough week, so to get through it I thought long and hard about what the people I know and respect do to cope with adversity: They play to their strengths — meditation, prayer, binge eating. So I turned to the only thing I have going for me, writing. Sometimes you need that knife’s-edge state of mind to cut out that which is troubling you. Specifically, the so-called alt-right rally of white nationalists, white supremacists and Ku Klux Klan members in Cha...

Out our way, it was once understood that our word was our bond. Yet there have always been those who, as they said in the movies, “speak with forked tongue.” Liars and cheats have always been a problem and so it’s not surprising God condemns it. This is especially true when it comes to public trust — for those who lie in public are considered especially wicked. In the ancient world before the days of CSI and FBI labs, evidence was mainly eyewitness accounts. It took two witnesses, whose testimony agreed with each other,...
You know, Lord, this happened long ago, but it’s still fun to remember it was a lovely season way back then, perfect for picking berries. Oh yes, mosquitoes were humming, trying to find skin. The sun played peek-a-boo with the fluffy clouds as the clouds slowly sailed on by. And oh, that gentle summer breeze was welcome. How fun to pick plump, juicy berries near the tops of the bushes; it’s much easier on a person’s back. Near the season’s end, berries aren’t plentiful but there were enough for sampling as the bucket bottom w...
It's been a long wait for Havre High sports fans, but this weekend, it's finally over as football and volleyball are both set to return to the stage with their annual Blue-White scrimmages.

The Havre Invitational golf tournament is steadily becoming one of the best events on the Class A golf scene. And the 2017 version, played Thursday, was certainly proof of that. The Havre Blue Ponies hosted a strong field of teams, including Laurel and Billings Central, two Eastern A powers, as well as Central A rivals Browning and Lewistown on a sun-drenched and windless day at Prairie Farms Golf Course. Junior varsity squads from Class AA Great Falls High and CMR were also i...
