It's been a long time since local high school football fans were treated to action on the gridiron. Thankfully, the long wait will be over soon, as teams from across the state will hit the practice field for the first time Friday.

Commissioner Diane McLean said during the commission’s weekly business meeting that Barger had come to the commissioner’s office concerned that she might lose employees due to high disparity in wages. McLean added that Barger is not requesting her employes go up to deputy wages but to pay them as...
Meteors, commonly known as shooting stars, will rain across Havre’s northern skies this weekend. The Perseids meteor shower is one of the astronomical highlights of the year, astronomy hobbyist Steve Jamruszka of Havre said. “This one should be pretty exciting,” Jamruszka said. “The weather forecast is going to cooperate, and so is the moon.” This weekend’s new moon phase “essentially means no moon at all,” he added. Meteors will therefore be highly visible, Time.com reports, unlike the 2017 Perseids that were obscured b...

By Emily Mayer News from the war came to Havre via Sen. Morris in a letter written by former Havre resident Bee Hall. The letter, printed in the August 10, 1918, edition of The Havre Plaindealer, is a lengthy one, but here is some of that letter. Of France, Mr. Hall wrote: I have found France a very interesting and beautiful country and just now while the weather is so fine it makes one glad he is here. It is extremely interesting because things here are so old and have come down through so many centuries. There is a fine...
Scientists have finally solved the great mystery of the Bermuda Triangle that has haunted mankind for a century, but no one can figure out why Christmas season is now emerging like a mirage through the shimmer of a summer heatwave. Several news media outlets are reporting about a BBC-aired documentary in which Dr. Simon Boxall, an ocean and earth scientist at the University of Southampton, says that the hundred years of hype about the Bermuda Triangle being an unnatural...

For months now, Montana State University-Northern head football coach Andrew Rolin has been singing the praises of his offensive line and now that the Lights have hit the field for padded practices in fall camp, his praise of the hogs up front has continued to reach new heights. "They are the strength of our offense," Rolin said of the offensive line Thursday following the fifth practice of fall camp. "I don't know how else to put it. They get things going and they set the...
“Now the word of God, profitable as it is to the cursory thought of a pious mind, reveals a deeper meaning to the patient student than to the momentary hearer.” It may be that you need to read this quote from Hilary of Poitiers a few times in order to grasp his point. If so, then his quote has, in some measure, helped to accomplish what he here counsels. We are an impatient and distracted people. The proof of this is the number of people that pass me on Highway 2 even if I am at or over the speed limit. Additionally, our lev...
You know, Lord, it was quite interesting to discover that the word “enthusiasm” is actually derived from two little Greek words, “en” and “theos,” with “theos” being the Greek word for God. Becoming aware of that, we realized that “enthusiasm” literally means “full of God.” Having discovered that, we can rest assured that God will help each one of us to maintain enthusiasm, with eagerness, zest and zeal. There are some days when we lack that skill, but all we need to do is ask God to help us, and He will help us to overcom...
Out our way, the days and the trails can get long. I confess that sometimes Charlie and I rode what indeed seemed to be the “everlasting hills” for they just went on and on and on. Of course, Charlie knew the trails and so he was well-aware of where the trail ended — but for me it just seemed to go on and on into eternity. I mentioned this to “Doc” one time as we rode up a ridge and looked on more ridges and pasture and cattle seemingly all the way to Canada and beyond. Being a novice cowpoke, I was saddle sore, weary, an...
