The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team will have some important games to play in the next few weeks, but few will be more important than Sunday's doubleheader against the Vauxhall Spurs. That's because while the games are important for the Northern A District standings, the double dip Sunday at Legion will also be the final home games of the season for Havre and the last chance for six Northstars players, Jake Sedahl, Kennedy McKay, Brenden Danielson, Brendan...
By ERIC TUCKER, Associated Press WASHINGTON - Twelve Russian military intelligence officers hacked into the Clinton presidential campaign and Democratic Party, releasing tens of thousands of stolen communications, in a sweeping effort by a foreign government to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election, according to a grand jury indictment announced days before President Donald Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The indictment stands as the clearest Justice...
A year ago, Havre and the surrounding area was treated to a different kind of sporting event, as mixed martial arts made it to the Hi-Line in the form of Lights Out at the Dome.

The 10-bout event will get underway at 7 p.m. In the first go around, Lights Out at the...
Two community members are aiming to preserve annuals from the past while raising money for Havre High School. The friends, Ron Hellman and Jerry Engleson, are now housing, between them, more than 700 high school yearbooks, Hellman said. In 1991, Hellman said, he found out that the high school was going to throw out all the extra old annuals it had because of a lack of storage space. Remembering Engleson's dad had a collection of annuals, helped him come up with the idea to...
After successfully extinguishing six grass fires in Blaine County in the past week, the Chinook Volunteer Fire Department is looking for some help with future fires. “We got them out and everything worked well,” Blaine County Fire Warden and Chinook Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Kraig Hansen said, but added, “We just need more help.” Five of the fires were less than one acre, with one fire caused by a swather burning 56 acres. Hill and Liberty county officials report no fires so far this season. Chouteau County...

By Emily Mayer The Havre Plaindealer’s July 13, 1918 edition carried the news that Hill County was to send 149 men who signed up for the draft to training camp to prepare for The Great War. Havre was making plans to give the boys a big send off. The following article ran on the front page. HONOR DEPARTING DRAFT CONTINGENT Plan Demonstration on Evening of the 22nd Plans are being perfected for a great demonstration in honor of the next draft contingent from Hill county which will leave here on the 23rd. This quota will c...
On days we feel the world has too much conflict, it’s good to remember that literary-minded folks, who are rarely good for practical things, remind us that conflict is good because it inspires passion about ideas, people and things. A story without conflict is just a boring list of details — and then everybody dies. The following news stories illustrate the literary nerds’ five types of conflict. Man vs. Self An 82-year-old man in India had his record-length finge...
Editor, This November, voters are going to be faced with a choice: whether or not to continue supporting a tradition that helps the students and future leaders of Montana. The 6-mill levy was first passed in 1948 and has been on a 10 — year renewal cycle with passing margins becoming slimmer. This trend is not reversing in 2018 and if the levy is not passed it will hurt Montana students. The 6-mill levy is not a new tax and it is not increasing. I know that many voters throughout the state feel a burden when it comes to p...
Blue sky with clouds, our heart does ache, ‘Life’ doesn’t seem quite fair. The wind does blow but we hang tight and up to Heaven we stare. We do know this about You, Lord, You’ll ever be our song. King of my heart, You are so good, for You, Oh, Lord, are strong. A song, dear Lord, says that you’re King, the King who fills my heart. We run to You when our heart aches, from us, You’ll never part. And when night comes and it’s so dark, we know You’re holding on, You’re never gonna let me down; come noon or night or dawn. Some da...
You know, Lord, summer is in the air! There’s no doubt that nearly everyone we know feels like it’s a wonderful time to take some time off, be it just to relax or recharge. We know some dear friends who are doing just that! They have some great ideas to see parks, lakes, family, or just travel around a bit. Other friends don’t feel like buzzing around, but they also know how refreshing it is to take a bit of ‘time’ off just to set aside a few minutes each day to do something that they love to do, be it weeding, quilting,...
I’ve been enjoying Pastor Kevin Barsotti’s columns on reaping and sowing, Biblical financial principles, etc. We just finished a series of messages at our church on some related topics, and I want to offer some thoughts about seeds that I hope will complement Kevin’s recent columns and not be redundant. First, seeds are very important to God. All kinds of seeds. When God created the earth, He created all living things to produce after their own kind, through seeds (see the first few chapters of Genesis). Then God’s origina...
Out our way, we have seen more than our share of fools. Sometimes they are harmless — like the guy from New York who bought spurs and wanted to wear them in town. Not surprisingly, he hooked himself and tripped to the enjoyment of the rest. Or the guy who wanted to use a dressing room to try on chaps because he didn’t know they went on over the jean and not instead of the jeans. Today I was a similar fool. I took my son Nate to Colorado Mesa University to look into enrolling in their film school. Now their nickname is “th...
