Life is pretty busy for Ryan Divish, and whether it's writing, tweeting or making television appearances, his world revolves mostly around baseball. As a beat writer, covering the Seattle Mariners for the Seattle Times, it's easy to see why baseball is such a big part of his life. He covers the team on a daily basis and not just during the regular season. But as far as the former Havre Daily News sports editor is concerned, he couldn't do the job any other way. "When you do th...

President Donald Trump had all eyes in the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls riveted to him Thursday the second he walked out from behind the curtain, greeted by the applause and chanting of thousands of people attending his rally. The crowd cheered, "U.S.A., U.S.A," even after Trump stood behind the podium. Trump told the crowd he was proud to be standing in a room filled with, "proud, hard-working American patriots," adding that he wished he could bring screens and speakers...
People gathered in Great Falls Thursday in opposition to the President Donald Trump rally that was held there that evening with the president endorsing Republican Montana Auditor Matt Rosendale, who is challenging Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., in his bid for re-election. "Montanans are capable of deciding who to vote for on their own. We don't need anybody, even if it's the president, to tell us how we should vote," said one of the organizers of the event, Laura Wight. The Grab...

Waylon Day Child, 35, who spent nine months in Seattle last year successfully battling lymphoma, was told the news last Tuesday that he has incurable lung cancer and doctors think he has about a year to live, his mother, Noreen Day Child, said. Her son started feeling sick again, she said, so he went to the medical center at Rocky Boy and the doctors gave him the bad news about him developing a...
Red, white and blue were the colors of the day, while the sounds of live music mingled with the laughter and happy squeals of children, the smell of hotdogs and hamburgers wafted through the air, and almost two decades of Havre's Fourth of July community camaraderie took over Pepin Park. The Fourth of July celebration started as a small gathering of a couple dozen people the first year, event co-founder and co-chair Allen "Woody" Woodwick said. It included some buckets of...

You know, Lord, back “last century” what a joy it was to be a kid — laws weren’t as strict about anything and everything. Several cousins recalled their fun with firecrackers. As soon as firecracker stands opened, kids would be there to buy. No rules about noise, everybody enjoyed the POP! BANG! which started a week before the Fourth of July and ended when kids ran out of firecrackers. Here’s one lad’s recipe for rockets: small dish with a bit of water, a tin can (like beans come in), opened end in the water acting as a seal;...
This week we will continue to look at material from the book “Managing God’s Money” by Randy Alcorn. Matthew 16:27 “For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father’s glory with his angels, and then He will reward each person according to what he has done”. Our goal should be to please God. We are not under the law but under grace. One of the ways we can please God is by being good stewards with good heart attitudes. God is watching not just how much we give but He also looks at our hearts. What is our motivation...
Out our way, there tends to be a certain dependable routine to most things. Even when pushing pairs on the Tiger Ridge with Charlie, after a time I sort of settled into things. Although the day may take me on a new trail over an unknown ridge or into an arroyo I had never explored before, I wasn’t too concerned because Charlie knew the country and Charlie was with me. Thus although I was treated to new vistas and even some minor adventures, nothing felt too strange. The pasture was new to me but the routine was not — and Cha...

By Emily Mayer The news in the July 6, 1918, edition of The Havre Plaindealer was interesting in many ways. The now-normal pleas from U.S. Food Administrator Herbert Hoover to further reduce food consumption were made, and housewives were encouraged to can fruits and vegetables to get through the winter ahead. The two pictures Charlie Russell painted for the Montana Food Administration also were making news. The “Russell” Pictures The food administration in Montana for whom the “cowboy artist,” Charles M. Russell, has pai...
There is nothing like an enforced daily session on a very specific exercise in both patience and urgency to drive a training point home with a young horse and really help you put your own life in perspective. The first point is a good thing, the second point, the one about your own life, is open for debate. Because my horse Myah cut the sole of her foot, I am two weeks into a month’s worth of wrapping her foot to help pad the sole and, more importantly, keep moisture and d...
Six-Man football is a big deal around these parts. And it was earlier this week at the Montana State University-Northern practice fields. The Team USA Six-Man squad stopped in Havre for two days of practice before heading off to Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, for the 2018 Can-Am All-Star Game. The game will be played Saturday at 5 p.m. Of course, Montana has the second-most Six-Man football playing schools in the U.S., only behind Texas, so it's fitting that, a handful of players...
