Glenn J. Koster is a double product of the foster care and the adoption systems. By the age of 6, he was abandoned, the only one of six children to be left behind by his parents, with his siblings having people to go to. He was soon adopted, then pulled from that home 13 months later and went back through the system, then was re-adopted when he was 10 years old. He is in Havre Wednesday and today, taking a break for the Independence Day holiday during his cross-country walk...
Two local officials are at odds over a billing mistake that happened on and off for decades at the Great Northern Fairgrounds, formerly the Hill County Fairgrounds. Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson spoke during the public comment portion of the Havre City Council meeting Monday, saying double billing caused by a water meter at the Hill County Shop on a line that had another meter caused tens of thousands of dollars of incorrect billing to the county. He suggested that...
By Hillary Sward UM Graduate Student Malta has an appealing downtown that includes a state-of-the-art movie theater with surround sound joined by a healthy, self-sufficient variety of other businesses.

The ongoing drought was the big news in the Havre Plaindealer in its July 5, 1919, edition. A lengthy article titled “DROUTH IS WORST IN HISTORY OF MONTANA” was prominently featured on the top of the front page, and there was to be a conference in Havre to discuss the situation. The problems started a couple of years earlier, and would lead to an economic depression in the area, for not only was there a prolonged drought, grain and livestock prices would plummet after the boys “over there” came home and production land in Eur...
Caldwell, Idaho, Mayor Garret Nancolas received a written request Wednesday from a national animal rights organization urging him to rename his county’s Chicken Dinner Road to the kinder, gentler, simpler Chicken Road. Boring. “PETA is asking Mayor Nancolas to change this road’s name to one that celebrates chickens as individuals, not as beings to kill, chop up, and label as ‘dinner,’” said People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in her letter. KTVB News 7 reported that the road ga...
Jim picked me up at the airport in Guadalajara. Once we exited the labyrinth of parking and hit the straightaway, I requested, “Tell me all the news.” “There is no news,” Jim responded. “Everything is the same as when you left.” I’d been gone a month, so I treated his statement with skepticism. And over the course of the trip home learned much. Among several small rains, two devastating storms hit our town. Trees and branches down all around. We had driven a mere five kilometers down the road when the sky opened. At ti...

Many of the ideas and Scriptures used in this article are from the book “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn. Psalm 16:11 states, “In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forever more.” God invented fun. On the New Earth we will be free from sin so that we can experience joy and eternal pleasure. We will grow in knowledge and develop our skill sets. Since Adam and Eve sinned, man’s best days have been in the past. When we are no longer under the effects of the Curse our best days will be in the future. W...
Out our way, looks can be deceiving. Charlie and I were riding fence for a friend of ours, and one corner section was blocked by thorn bushes and trees. There was a cow path through the trees but the overhang was so low I could not follow on Doc, so I dismounted and walked the trail myself. It was a nice cool in the tunnel made of the thorny hedges and overhanging branches — and I was glad to see the trail flattened out into a wider bare patch deep within. However, in two strides I found the sandy patch wasn’t sand at all, bu...
You know, Lord, there are as many ideas and thoughts about anything as there are unique individuals! If ten people were discussing firecrackers, Fourth of July picnics, America, freedom of speech, war, you name it, and there would be 10 different strong feelings about any one of those topics. Your word, (1Peter 2:17) tell us to “… Fear God and honor the government, (king, ruler, emperor).” May America continue to be a country in which everyone has an equal opportunity to be what they desire to become. Thank You, Lord, that...
Shall we wither and then fall down like a golden Autumn leaf? We’re all been there through deep sorrow, how painful is our grief. Sometimes we miss the days gone by, we long for yesterdays’ Know that you’re missed, your gentleness, your understanding ways. Sunshine does pass and shadows fall[1], but love outlasts it all, Through the past years, many or few, memories we do recall. Periods of rain bring on new life, but Grief’s like winter snow. Nature brings change and offers hope, the “way” is oh, so slow. Grief is like Spr...
Montana FWP Each spring and summer, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks receives several calls from people who have picked up deer fawns or other wildlife. FWP advises against this practice for several reasons. The agency does not accept, hold or rehabilitate deer and elk because the animals rarely survive the stress of captivity, and because of concerns with the spread of disease. So FWP's likely response would be to tell people to leave the animals alone or return them to...
Montana FWP A brief encounter involving a mountain biker and a family group of mountain lions on a forested trail system north of Whitefish highlights the need to be aware of possible wildlife encounters in the outdoors and to follow safety precautions. On the afternoon of June 28, an adult male riding a mountain bike reported encountering a group of 3-4 mountain lions on the Whitefish Trail system near Haskill Lake. The biker said the lions briefly followed him down the...

She gave a sneak peak of one thing customers can expect to see more of in the new location: an expansion of the children’s and babies’ items and gifts, al...
The United States is a nation founded by entrepreneurs who were, by definition, risk takers. In fact, many of America’s founding fathers were small business owners who provided needed goods and services in the growing colonies. Alexander Hamilton, who founded the Bank of New York by the age of 29, was even called “America’s first capitalist.” Benjamin Franklin was an inventor, a printer and a newspaperman. George Washington was a farmer, a landowner and owned a distillery. Most of us remember that Thomas Jefferson was a farme...
What does the Fourth of July mean to you? That’s an interesting question we hear often this time of year. For me, it’s evolved over the years. Obviously, there was a time when the Fourth of July was about fireworks and barbecues, hot dogs and hot sun. Over the years, that’s changed for me. At least the fireworks aspect of it anyway. That’s because I’m a Lab owner, and anyone will tell you, Labs hate fireworks. They’re terrified of them, even if they’re hunting dogs. It’s ju...
At this point in the Legion baseball season, every game is important. But when the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team hosts Lethbridge Saturday, the No. 2 spot in the Northern A district could be on the line. Starting the week, both the Northstars and the Miners had 10 wins within the district. Yet at 10-6, Havre held a two-game edge in the loss column with Lethbridge at 10-8. Havre was swept at Vauxhall on Wednesday night though, so that will make the...
