The owners of the Havre Historic Post Office have expanded their efforts to revitalize downtown Havre in buying the Masonic Temple across the street. Erica Farmer and Marc Whitacre sat in old green chairs on the fourth floor of the Masonic building and apprehensively said they were excited for the project and laughed. "I think the gist is we felt obligated in some way," Farmer said. "We're sort of dedicated to this downtown thing. I guess it's fair to say that we're a little...
From Emily Mayer Havre continues its progression in the construction of new buildings this week in 1915 In the Sept. 4 issue of The Havre Plaindealer was this article on the front page: FRUIT COMPANY IN NEW QUARTERS The Lindsey Fruit company moved on Thursday to the Yeon building on Seventh avenue, in order to make way for Sweitzer’s, who will open in the Wright building on First street in a few days. A record was made in constructing quarters for the Lindsey company, the two stories and basement being put up in thirty d...
Darts: A court case is being held now concerning whether the present form of lethal injection is the best to use in Montana. There is something bizarre about such a debate. It seems best to us that the debate should be solved by simply eliminating the death penalty entirely in the state and coming up with a more effective punishment for people who have taken another’s life. The present form of killing convicted criminals is out of step with today’s thinking. No one seriously thinks it is a deterrent to crime. It is a long, dr...
My dog and cat have entered into the next phase of our big, life-changing, house project with all the emotional balance and fortitude of your average neurotic, cross-species, counter-crosswise twins. The beginning of this adventure saw the cat happy that we were spending time up at the shop, but the dog angry because he wanted to be in the comfort of his home. It didn’t help that every time we put down a bed for the dog to lie on, the cat would strut across the floor, put one...

The two acres on Bullhook Drive where Stu and Carol McIntosh live is not so much a yard as it is a cornucopia bursting with vibrant produce. One need not look far to see the fruits of their labor. A dozen or so feet to the right of the couple's modern ranch house, is a thick patch of corn, with some stalks more than 6 feet tall. “When you are inside, they are so thick you can hardly get through,” said Carol, pushing aside waves of the gangly crop as she gingerly walked thr...

While Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting their nets into the sea, for they were fishermen. So Jesus said to them, "Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men!" And immediately they left their nets and followed Him. He went a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat mending their nets. Immediately He called them; and they left their father, Zebedee in the boat, with...
Dane Warp's march to the state of Montana's career records for passing yards and touchdown passes has been in the works since his first start as a freshman back in 2012. But, he will be the first to tell you, he has had plenty of help along the way, and while he has put up spectacular numbers, he wouldn't have been able to do it with the people who catch the passes he throws. Warp, now a senior, is in his fourth season as the starting quarterback for the Havre High football...

The Havre Blue Ponies have already seen their new head football coach in action and today, Havre will get a look at Josh Holt, the first-year head coach of the Havre High cross country teams. Last season, and for the past few years, the Ponies have been in the middle of the pack when it comes to Class A cross country on the boys side as well as the girls. A season ago, at the Class A state meet, the Pony boys notched a 12th-place finish, while the girls ended up 13th. Yet,...
Football isn’t just for the weekends any more and, Thursday night, there’s was plenty to cheer about, especially if you’re a fan of Marc Mariani, or the Montana State Bobcats. In Chicago Thursday night, the Chicago Bears played their final preseason game, which ended up being 24-0 win over the Cleveland Browns. And the first Chicago score of the night came from Mariani, who’s now in his sixth year in the league and his second with the Bears. With most of the veterans and sta...
When it comes to the Havre High football schedule, the conference games have always been the ones that matter most. Yet, after a season-opening loss to Whitefish a week ago, as far as non-conference games go, the one tonight against Hardin is pretty important. The Ponies, who fell 44-12 last Saturday to Whitefish, will take the field tonight looking for redemption against Eastern A foe Hardin, which will invade Blue Pony Stadium for a kickoff at 7. "This game is very...
In football, it’s not often that a team gets to start its season over. But, thanks to playing an earlier than usual non-conference game, that’s exactly what the Montana State University-Northern Lights are getting this weekend. A chance to start over. Northern opened its 2015 campaign, and the Aaron Christensen era with a 17-7 loss at Dickinson State back on Aug. 22. The Lights then had a bye week, and another six days to get ready for their home debut, which also happens to...
Life can change in the blink of an eye. So can a career. One day, you're here, and the next you're there.

Christensen was announced by Northern Athletic Director Christian Oberquell as the Lights third head coach...
