Three years ago, the Glacier Nationals of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League decided to move to Havre and make it their home. Now, after just three seasons, the Nationals are relocating again, following the sale of the franchise by general manager and owner Butch Kowalka. The Havre Ice Dome, which housed the Nationals for the last three seasons will now be void of junior hockey, at least for the 2017-18 season. The agreement is to sell the team to a group of buyers repres...
Military veterans, their loved ones and community members gathered for several events in Havre on a Monday that comes only once a year: Memorial Day. The events began with a Memorial Day commemoration held outside the Hill County Courthouse. The ceremony consisted of a presentation of the colors by Boy Scouts, Dena Rudio sang the national anthem; wreaths honoring the fallen were laid and the Honor Guard performed a three-volley salute. Later, everyone was invited to the Havre...
GREAT FALLS - The recently appointed U.S. Agriculture secretary said Thursday in Great Falls that he wants to concentrate on improving customer service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, at one point comparing his vision to Georgia-based restaurant chains Waffle House and Chick-fil-A. "When you have dealings with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, I want to put a smile on your face and you'll say 'if that is the kind of service I get, I don't mind paying my taxes because...
The manager of the Hill County Public Cemetery District said Thursday the theft of decorations and memorials people leave at graves is up in a major way this year. Manager Merrill Gray said that last year he had maybe one or two people report losing items they had placed at graves over Memorial Day. “This year,” he said, “we’re pushing 10.” He said he hopes people will watch out for each other and try to stop the thefts. He said people can report thefts or suspected thefts to him, at the office at the Highland Cemetery...
By Emily Mayer The June 2, 1917, issue of The Havre Plaindealer reminded those thinking they were going to avoid their duty to participate in the war that they were going to be met with prosecution through Federal Court. Women were starting to take men’s places in the field, work shops and offices — they would also answer the call a generation later in World War II. Women could “do their bit” at home by economizing in the kitchen. “Liberal premiums” were being offered for sheep at the Montana State Fair due to the demand...

So I lived beyond the summer cold, with some lingering signs, but life just keeps throwing it at me like I’m a fan, and I’m really thinking I should have something like worker’s compensation, but I wouldn’t have to work for it, just live for it — maybe survivor’s compensation. “Oh,” I would say. “I never would’ve lived through it without my survivor’s compensation that paid for the help I needed after, y’know surviving.” As I have battled the last hints of cough and sniffl...

Another day has slipped away; we wish we still were two. But now you’re safe, no longer ill, off to heaven you flew. Down here on earth the flowers bloom, three deer came by to graze. Though sun shines bright and grass is green, our heart’s still in a daze. The wash is done, the beds are made; our guests now travel on. They were great help and lots of fun; next job is mowing lawn! Full week ahead, wish you were here, ‘t’would help my heart to mend. And coming up, some happy times; three weddings to attend! I wish you were wi...
Lord, what could be as new and young as the dawning of a new day in June? The dawning of this new day is fresh, sweet, and innocent! It awakens slowly to the swelling music of birdsong. The mists of night still lie in the valleys. The countryside is revealed with leisurely deliberation, bit by bit, newly created by You, just for this particular day! There is no haste. This brand-new day begins at its own pace, unaltered by yesterday’s confusions or tomorrow’s worries, doubts and uncertainties. This is another day, ano...
Genesis 12: 1 - 3 Out our way we see different breeds of cattle - the charolais, the red Angus and the black Angus and now and then a few Herefords. In Wyoming, I once had the "pleasure" of working with Texas longhorns, which was a unique experience. Indeed, each breed has its own distinctive traits, aside from color, and now and then mixed breeds show up that offer the rancher a hoped for improvement in his/her sale prices. As Americans, we are generally somewhat of a...
By Linda Hermans-Killiam It takes a lot of fuel to escape Earth's gravity. The more a spacecraft weighs, the more fuel rockets need to launch them. Spacecraft also have to carry fuel to help them travel through space. Every bit of fuel adds weight and cost to space missions. Fortunately, there is a way to help spacecraft travel around the solar system, without using much fuel. How is this done? Through a clever maneuver called a gravity assist! With gravity assist, a...

The first month of the season was slow for the Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team, but starting this Saturday, the schedule for the boys of summer will start picking up. The North Stars, who are 1-4 on the young season, played a much lighter May schedule than in year's past. Of those five games, only one has been at home, so when the Havre hosts the Fort MacLeod Royals Saturday at Legion Field, it will be the first game there in almost a month. The doubleheader be...
