Havre Animal Control Officer Peter Federspiel said Thursday he is starting a zero-tolerance policy in the Smithville area of Havre to the southwest due to the large number of dog bites that have been happening in that area. “Dogs in that area are putting people at risk and we just hope that it stops,” he said. He said the police don’t usually section off certain areas but because it is such a high-risk area with a high number of at-large dogs that are aggressive or vicious, they need to be more forceful in Smithville. He ad...
A local stay-at-home mom transitioned a year ago into making it her business to beautify Havre one window at a time. "I could think of a lot worse ways to spend my time," window-painter Tracy Carroll said. "It's fun to do something creative." Carroll said she has operated her business since fall of last year, adding that Infinity Bake Shoppe and Valley Furniture were her first two businesses. Since then, she has expanded to doing work for five to six different businesses...

By Emily Mayer The prolonged drought and subsequent crop issues continued to make headlines in The Havre Plaindealer. While wheat yields exceeded hopes in some cases, the state issued a statement that it estimated losses for the 1919 season at $60 million and counting. As a result of crop failures and the potential of farmers going bankrupt, the State of Montana was allowing counties to put on the ballot measures that would create a bond that would be used to help farmers purchase seed grain for next season. Hill County...

The Havre High volleyball team is staring in the face of their first challenge, ready to step onto the court to start a brand new season. The Blue Ponies are in their battle stations and are heading into Laurel today to square off against the Locomotives as part of the Eastern A Tip-Off. The last time the Blue Ponies played the Locomotives, it was in the Havre High Gymnasium in 2015, where the Ponies won 3-2. Even with that win, a lot has changed between the two teams in four...
As a pro-life Montanan, mother of six (biological and adoptive), I am frustrated with the Susan B. Anthony List Candidate Fund’s endorsement of Greg Gianforte for governor of Montana. He is currently running against two pro-life candidates in the Republican primary, one of which is my husband, Dr. Albert D. Olszewski, state senator. Dr. Olszewski has sponsored and articulately carried multiple pro-life bills through three legislative sessions. In 2015 he drafted and carried HB 479 “Montana’s Unborn Child Pain and Suffe...
We had that weird dry spring, so I scheduled a week off to get some work done outside — I even booked a rental tractor to help with the work — and then the skies opened up and it rained all that week. I canceled the tractor, but kept the vacation, which turned out to be a good move on my part. I slept all that week and kind of stared at the walls as if I’d had a chemical lobotomy. Apparently, I needed a little down time. But not this week. I am on vacation from the offic...
This is the moment the Havre Blue Ponies, head coach Ryan Gatch, all of Havre's assistants, and all Blue Pony fans have been waiting for.

Havre will get their chance tonight when the team takes on the Sidney Eagles at 7, at Sidney High School. It's the second straight year the Ponies have played Sidney, as well as the second time the...

Out our way, open country still has surprises from those who will ride over the ridge to take a look. Those who never look for nor see anything but the road they are on often miss incredible sights and experiences. For example, out by the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation is an old abandoned Roman Catholic Church — and behind it is the cemetery. Unlike most city cemeteries, people are allowed and indeed encouraged to leave mementos and special gifts on the graves. There is no “groundskeeper” who cares for the place, but it is...
When it comes to mainstream journalism, it’s hard to imagine a stronger brand than The New Yorker. This prestigious magazine is, of course, also known for humor and cartoons. A recent satire feature proclaimed: “Chick-fil-A Introduces New Hate Sauce.” “Customers across the nation who turned out for Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day were in for a surprise, as the chicken restaurant chose today to launch a new product: Hate Sauce,” wrote Andy Borowitz. “Delighted customers mobbed the restaurants to try the zesty new sauce, with...
It’s back to school for young and old, a happy day for some! Buy needed things, supplies and clothes, which is the rule of thumb. Then tackle fear which some kids have but most know school is fun! Good thoughts — good sleep; take it easy — then you’ll know that you’ve won! School buses came to help parents, ’round ’bout 1915. Bright yellow was the color choice, and “Keep the busses clean.” Imagine keeping cars off roads, some millions every year! That sure saves folks some bucks on gas — you almost hear them cheer! Are rul...
