Eric Peterson knows a thing or two about winning state championships. As a high school basketball player for Havre High, Peterson was a member of the 1994 Blue Pony boys basketball championship; now, as the head coach of the Helena High girls, his history of winning has repeated itself. Yes, Peterson is getting quite the reputation around the state, after guiding Helena High to back-to-back Class AA girls championships the past two seasons. In all, that gives him three titles...

Representatives of Montana’s U.S. senators said they missed on an opportunity to require Amtrak to restore ticket agents to some stations where the National Passenger Rail Corp. had eliminated them, but they are working on another opportunity. “I will keep doing everything I can to restore the Amtrak staffing cuts in Havre and Shelby,” Sen.

By Emily Mayer The results of the survey conducted by the Montana State Council of Defense for the purpose of federal government aid to farmers was released in the August 3, 1918, edition of The Havre Plaindealer. The aid was for farmers who had sustained loss due to drought, and Montana Senator Walsh secured $5 million for the cause. Two thousand farmers crammed Fort Assinniboine the week before for a farm picnic and presentations on various experiments done on dryland farming. Of course, the war “over there” as well as mak...
Skip political races and cultural wars, Egypt and Mexico have officially gone toe to toe for the title of most outrageous jackassery literally involving a jackass of the four-legged variety, and Egypt has kicked Mexico’s jackass in the brawl. My one trip into Mexico, roughly one hundred years ago, was a quick jaunt across the border to Tijuana, which, it might be argued, isn’t real Mexico, but the touristy side-show is technically within the borders of the country, so technica...
Promises are important, at least that’s what we tell our kids. In Montana and around the country, there are groups advocating that we break the promises made to our American Indian friends and neighbors. These groups, which form the anti-Indian movement, represent a systematic effort to deny legally-established rights by terminating American Indian sovereignty and culture. They feed on the public’s lack of knowledge regarding treaty rights and the negative stereotypes directed at American Indians. They strive to create fear a...
Editor: I would like to offer a rebuttal to Terry Giles letter about Korean War Veteran remains. According to an article on the AARP website, over 600 Korean War Veteran remains have been returned since the 1990s under a program initiated under the Clinton administration. The Korean government was given payments in the $22-million range in exchange for returning these soldiers. The program was curtailed when North Korea began escalating their nuclear program. Mr. Giles misrepresented facts when he made his claims. Allan Ost...
Now that the dog days of summer are upon us, campaign season is kicking into high gear. While it seems like November is a long way off, it will be here in the blink of an eye. Montana’s federal races will garner an understandable and significant amount of attention. However, as has always been the case, the decisions made at the state level through the Montana Legislature are at least as important, and perhaps more so, than those being made in Washington, D.C. It’s why I want to serve as your next state senator. The imp...

The secondary. It's the last line of defense in football. And when it comes to the Frontier Conference, which features a great balance of teams who can both throw and run the football, having dynamic players in the secondary is a huge recipe for success. The secondary at Montana State University-Northern has been an area where the Lights have struggled at times in recent years. And heading into his first season at the helm, new Northern head coach Andrew Rolin said the...

You know, Lord, author William A. Quayle wrote short write-ups for each month in “God’s Calendar.” Quoting him, here’s his “report” about August. “August is here: and maize is growing. Maize owns August body and soul. Corn is an old-world word meaning any cereal. Maize is an Indian word meaning only what America had to plant and grow. A corn field is a valorous sight, stately, strong, tall, spear-like, graceful, music making when the wind wanders through the corn rows, sword-edged; for every corn blade is a sword blade,...
This week we conclude our look at material from the book “Managing God’s Money” by Randy Alcorn. John Wesley said, “I judge all things only by the price they shall gain in eternity.” Missionary C.T. Studd stated, “Only one life, twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” These men appear to have had a world view that included the belief that eternity was a lot longer time frame than the short period that we have on this earth. Author Randy Alcorn believes that five minutes after we die we will know exact...
Out our way, the hills are filled with various trails left by generations of deer, elk and more recently cattle. Now Charlie, who had worked herds all over Tiger Ridge, knew most of those trails up on the Tiger — and because he had real cow sense, he often could cut corners because he knew where the cattle on this or that trail were going to end up. Although, as the beginner and rank amateur, I usually rode drag when we pushed a herd, now and then Charlie would let me ride swing and send me ahead to ensure the lead units s...

July 22, spectators packed the Great Northern Fair arena to watch the first Indian Relay Races held during the fair surge around the racetrack. Riding bareback, in shorts and without helmets, each team's rider raced three horses in the relay. The crowd, many of whom stood up for a better look, cheered after each rapid exchange. Organizer Tim Rosette Jr. said he hopes the relay races will become an annual tradition at the fair. So did fair board Chair Tyler Smith. "I was very...
