    George Ferguson|Updated Jun 1, 2018

  • Celebrating History - News from the front

    By Emily Mayer Action at the war front “over there” was brought home in the form of a letter published in a Kalispell newspaper and reprinted in the June 1, 1918 issue of The Havre Plaindealer.

  • Grief Poem - That Five-Letter Word

    Updated Jun 1, 2018

    We feel the change that GRIEF does bring when death stole our loved one. A friendship’s lost and yes, we grieve, a loss, a change, it’s done! Though most often Grief’s not discussed, somehow, we power through. We move along — we look ahead — just something that we do. Vulnerable and insecure, Dear Lord, I’m out of pep! Remind me, Lord, that You have plans, You’re with me step-by-step. We’ve lost ‘normal.’ We need new hope to keep memories alive. We need to find a new pattern, somehow, we will survive. New normal keeps sweet...

  • Out Our Way: Hallowed be Thy Name - Exodus 3:13-14

    Updated Jun 1, 2018

    Out our way, words have meaning. I am told that Saddle Butte was once called Bullhook based on a legend that the great gap in the butte was caused by a bull buffalo who just got tired of going around and tore a hole in the rock. Hence the creek that runs through what is now Havre was called Bullhook and the area of the town itself, before Jim Hill came along with the idea of building the Great Northern Ralway’s shops, was called Bullhook Bottoms. He insisted we change the name and so we became Havre, but that’s a dif...
