The Chippewa Cree 20th Annual Youth Powwow was underway in the summer heat Thursday and held two presentations for children to take in lessons about trauma, depression, suicide prevention, bullying, respect, vaping and cultural identity. "Sometimes when we are stuck in that spiral downward lifestyle that drugs and alcohol can bring to you, we can show them a way out," Chippewa Cree Executive Director and Court Administrator Elinor Nault said. "There is help out there, there is...

Emily Mayer The drought continued to be the leading news in the Havre Plaindealer 100 years ago. There was little rain, and C. W. Ling, the local weather observer, reported the temperatures of July 1919 were the hottest in 39 years. That would have been 1874, before Fort Assinniboine was built, the railroad came through and homesteaders were few and far between in the area. Because of the drought, the city implemented water restrictions. SPECIAL POLICE GETS FEW VIOLATORS OF ORDINANCE The special policeman is walking himself...

Out our way, especially when I was just learning to cowboy with Charlie, I was confused by all the various cattle trails that crisscross the Tiger Ridge area. More than once I found I had been following the wrong trail and there as nothing for it but to turn around. Usually Charlie was up on a ridge or somewhere pointing me in the right direction. I still had to do a fair amount of backtracking, but found the right trail and got to where I had been trying to go. Sadly, not all folks have a Charlie to call them back to the...
The Word of God teaches us to love the Lord your God and to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22: 37-39). Love is the thread that ties the narrative of Scripture together — God’s unconditional and radical love for us and the witnesses of believers throughout centuries who are striving, and failing, to love as we have been loved. Furthermore, Scripture commands us to love just as God has loved us (John 13: 34-35). This tells us the importance of the quality of our relationships. We are not just to love when we feel lik...
You know, Lord, if we’re not getting our share of happiness and success out of life, maybe we ought to try these on for size — source unknown — just sharing. First: Realize that we’re put on earth for a purpose. We’re not just born, we can find our purpose, Faith in self, and work toward the mastery of it; then we’ll find happiness and success. We need to learn the purpose for our life as early as we possibly can. Second: Adopt a positive attitude in our daily living, always believing that the best is about to come our way ...
“Hold On! Hold On”! That’s what “they” say to those of us who grieve. We’re s’pposed to grasp this life down here, though we just want to leave. We could pretend stars are peepholes which only “work” one way. Those gone ahead could sneak a look while we’re at work or play. We need to make each moment count while we’re still above ground. We MISS our dear, still we hold on but someday we’re East Bound. Our heart counts days as this world fades – we wait to see your face. When we “come home” to be with you, ’twill be a brand-n...

Many ancient and traditional medicinal recipes call for animal parts, but modern medicine has its share of animal ingredients, too, and I ain’t just talking about how grandma told you chicken soup would cure your cold. From bear gallbladders to tiger testicles, bird beaks to fish bladders and deer eyes to alligator skin, animal body parts in traditional medicines are believed to cure everything from acne to cancer, malaria to erectile dysfunction and phlegmy lungs to organ f...
Last spring, I started sharing, “We’re making plans to go to Alaska this summer.” Almost unanimously the response was, “Oh, you’re taking a cruise!” To which I replied, “No. No, we’re not.” “Then you’re flying, right?” “We’re driving.” And drive we did. After resurrecting a 1988 Chevrolet long box pickup that had sat in our farmyard for 14 years, we added a popup camper and packed up. I had hoped to leave at noon Thursday, June 13, after teaching Vacation Bible School. Rod and the pickup weren’t ready. Finally, at 7...

There are a lot of debates going on in this country right now and while you can argue about whether or not that’s a good thing, one discussion that needs to continue is equal pay for women. The fact women aren’t paid as well as men isn’t new. It’s been a sad fact in the United States of America for a long time and there is no better example than the United States Women’s National Soccer Team. This summer, the USWNT reminded us again of their greatness. They also reminded us how women athletes are underappreciated and under...
