The Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hawks are part of a strong tradition of high school football in Chester and after struggling with numbers and mediocrity the past couple of seasons, CJI is on the comeback trail in 2018. After losing just once in the regular season back in 2015, the Hawks have hovered around .500 the past couple seasons, making the playoffs as the final team out of the Northern C in 2016, before coming up one win short of making a play-in game for the playoffs...
By LISA MASCARO, ALAN FRAM and MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press WASHINGTON - After a flurry of last-minute negotiations, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Brett Kavanaugh's nomination for the Supreme Court after agreeing to a late call from Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona for a one week investigation into sexual assault allegations against the high court nominee. However, it's unclear if Republican leaders - or President Donald Trump - will support Flake's...
NEW YORK (AP) - Facebook says it recently discovered a security breach affecting nearly 50 million user accounts. The hack is the latest setback for Facebook during a year of tumult for the global social media service. In a blog post , the company says hackers exploited a bug that affected its "View As" feature, which lets people see what their profiles look like to someone else. That would let attackers steal the "access tokens" Facebook uses to keep people logged in....
Wednesday, during Native American week, the sacred kettle dance, returned to Fort Belknap Indian Reservation after being lost for generations, Ken “Tuffy” Helgeson, a language and culture teacher at Hays-Lodge Pole schools, said Thursday. “It was a historic day. We haven’t had that dance for a long, long, time,” he said, adding that this dance holds a special place due to it being the basis of their powwow. The dance was lost to the tribes at Fort Belknap about 100 years ago as people who knew it died, he said. The positions...

This is the first year that Hays-Lodge Pole, Harlem and Dodson schools organized, in a group effort, events...

The program will be at the Havre-Hill County Library at 7 pm. The presentation is free and open to the public.

By Emily Mayer Today was the day! Sept. 28 was the date for the fourth Liberty Loan drive to raise funds to fight the war “over there.” Local projections were that Hill County for the fourth time would oversubscribe its goal of $100,000, and there was a very lengthy article on The Havre Plaindealer’s Sept. 28, 1918 front page encouraging Hill County residents to be patriotic and support the troops. To punctuate the point, another full page ad ran on the back page with a Doughboy in battle and a list of reasons why you shoul...
Montanans will have a direct say in what we pay when the 6 mill university levy comes before us again this election year as LR 128 on the November election ballot. There may be other states that have statewide voted university levies, but I’m not aware of them. In the case of the 6 mill levy, a top-heavy majority of Republican and Democratic legislators voted last year to refer it to Montana voters as the Legislature has done every 10 years since the 1947 session. It has always passed; it has never been increased. There m...
As I’ve said before, I’m not much of a conspiracy buff, mostly because you have to keep track of so many details and care very deeply and madly about stuff, and I’m all, “Bleh, this is just crazy talk. I’m gonna go watch funny cat videos on Youtube.” Sometimes, though, I look at the headlines and I think the animal kingdom is fixing to mount a coordinated effort, an animal war of sorts, to take humans down. My ongoing coverage of this phenomenon is an attempt to create a pe...

The Montana State Bobcats have played in several big games already in 2018. Nothing the Cats have done thus far will compare to their next game however. Saturday, the Bobcats (1-0, 3-1) will welcome the fifth-ranked Eastern Washington Eagles (1-0, 3-1) for a huge Big Sky Conference showdown, with what should be an electric atmosphere inside Bobcat Stadium. “I think we’re ready to measure ourselves against an excellent team within our league, and then we’ll see,” MSU head co...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team has played three of its first four Frontier Conference matches inside the Armory Gymnasium.

Northern (0-4, 1-15) plays its next four conference matches on the road, starting with a Saturday afternoon match against nationally ranked Rocky Mountain College in Billings. And make no mistake, the Skylights are truly walking into the...
It’s always fun to take a trip down memory lane. No matter what you’re favorite memories are, when you get a chance to revisit them, it’s a blast. Last Saturday was one of those days for me. On a sun-splashed day inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium, I got a chance to remember a time in my life that was a whole lot of fun. In some ways, maybe it was too much fun. But nonetheless, the five years I spent going to college at the University of Montana were five years I will alway...
The Havre High volleyball team wasn't favored to beat the Class AA Great Falls High Bison Thursday night in the HHS gymnasium, but the Blue Ponies sure weren't buying into that prediction. And while HHS came up just short against GFH, the Ponies played one of their best matches of the season in a tough, four-game loss. In the end, GFH defeated Havre by scores of 25-15, 21-25, 25-17 and 26-24. From the start, the match was an exciting one, as Havre built a 10-7 lead in the...

Now, the Blue Ponies will try their chances on the road against Sidney.

You know, Lord, this is the time of year where there is a hint of fall in the air, and due to our changing of seasons, sometimes the sky looks like watered-down milk, and we might even wonder out loud: what happened to the blue sky? And then there are clouds, lots of different shapes, some in silhouettes we can almost “recognize.” When we were kids at home on the ranch, yes, we were sure that we saw a big whale, a bunny rabbit peeking around a cloud, plus other animals that all three of us kids saw — in the clouds! There...
Out our way, I always let Charlie lead because he knew the trails. I suspect the cattle did as well, but not necessarily which trail. You see, they knew where the trails were going but they didn’t always know where they were going. But Charlie did know, and so he moved them where they needed to go, even if it wasn’t the trail they thought they should be following. As you have figured out, Psalm 23 is a favorite psalm, and though the Palestinian shepherd actually led the sheep because they had been raised to follow his voi...
