As the effects of The Great War raged on in Europe, it was only a matter of time before it started to affect the U. S. labor force. Articles in the Sept. 21, 1918 edition of The Havre Plaindealer stated the government was still in need of stenographers; auto owners were encouraged to “dispense with chauffeurs” to fill mechanic positions; another article estimated a 1 million-person shortage in unskilled workers and that the shortage for skilled workers was getting serious, but went to state that jobs on farms, railroads and...

Turns out, whistling is a little more sophisticated than just putting your lips together and blowing. When I was a kid of 10 or so, my older brother took whistling beyond the old puckered-lips technique of our younger days after someone showed him how to whistle in some mysterious fashion that involved using the first two fingers of both hands between his pursed lips. It was a windy, but deep and round-toned sound, very unlike our regular whistling. It was a new and...
Fall has always been my favorite time of year. The crispness of the air, football season, big game hunting and a fresh start to the school year. This year is no exception. Especially as my daughter begins her freshman year of college in the Montana University System, it’s important to reflect on the role that education plays in our lives and in society. As a product myself of Montana’s K-12 public education system and as a first-generation graduate of the Montana University System, I know firsthand how critical education is...

Both the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats played a very tough and very valuable non-conference schedule to open 2018. But that's over now, and the real fun begins. Neither the Grizzlies, not the Bobcats are considered contenders for the Big Sky championship this season, but the chase for the title for both teams begins Saturday.

The last time the Montana State University-Northern Lights were inside Montana Tech’s Alumni Coliseum, they were on the wrong side of history. On that day, Oct. 21, 2017, the Orediggers pummeled the Lights 93-19, shattering all kinds of records in the process. Now, Northern (0-3, 1-3) is headed back to Butte for another showdown with Tech, but it’s obvious through the first four games of 2018 that, the Lights are different, and the past is exactly where it belongs, in the past...

You know, Lord, it’s been quite a while ago now, but no fooling, there have actually been columns and reviews written about “So much depends … .” So much depends on … how we choose to look at our life. We can wake to a dark and dreary day and that’s all we see. Our mood matches the day; we accomplish nothing while those around us, soon emulate us. Or we can see the drizzle for what it is, drops of hope and love. Wouldn’t it be nice if we sprinkled some hope and love around? We look at our children and we see that the year...

Out our way, the roads are usually two lanes at most and on either side is a barrow ditch. Out our way, some folks call ’em “Borrow” ditches as they “borrowed” the soil from them to form the raised road bed. Works for me. Most times, you don’t need to worry about the ditches, but in winter it can be a real hazard especially with a horse trailer behind you. Black ice can be treacherous and in some of our winters the asphalt is buried under so much ice, you can’t see the tar. Its times like these driving is real tricky. I rec...

The Havre High volleyball team was expected to beat Browning Thursday night and ultimately, the Blue Ponies got the win, it just didn't come as easily as anticipated. The Ponies roared out of the gates and took the first set off the Indians 25-14, before Browning fought back to tie things in up, with a 25-14 win in the second.

There is no question, that over the past couple of weeks, the Havre High football team has improved. Unfortunately, that improvement has yet to translate over to the win column, something the Blue Ponies are hoping to change tonight against Glendive. The Ponies (1-3) will host the Red Devils (1-3) in an Eastern A tilt that has plenty on the line in terms of playoff ramifications. The winner will be sitting in good position at 2-3, while the loser, at 1-4, will have little...
