Harlem City Council recently passed a resolution to change the federal holiday Columbus Day, Oct. 14, to Indigenous Peoples’ Day, joining other cities in Montana, such as Bozeman, Missoula and Helena, and some U.S. states in recognizing this change in focus for this federal holiday. “I felt it was an appropriate, long overdue, change that needed to be made,” Harlem City Council member Eva English, who proposed the resolution, said. “It is an effort to acknowledge who has had more of an impact, historically, currently and int...
Leadership and versatility are two very important things on a football team. If the leadership is great, the team will be greater. If a team is versatile, it will have more opportunities to keep the opponent on its toes. An offense needs a leader. The Havre High football team knows all of these facts and its offense has a certain athlete that has progressed in leaps and bounds to become one of the many big pieces on the Blue Pony offense. That standout is senior quarterback...
The Milk River Watershed Alliance has released an educational video about the St. Mary Diversion Project, a more than 100-year-old system that supplied the majority of the water to the Milk River and the surrounding areas. "Water is the lifeline," Milk River Watershed Alliance Coordinator Deborah Clayton said. "If we don't have water, how can anybody survive, let alone a community or an area." The St. Mary Diversion was one of the first five projects the U.S. Bureau of...

by Emily Mayer The news for the most part was not that great for Havre and Hill County 100 years ago. The Havre Plaindealer ran an article in its Oct. 4, 1919 edition stating that wheat was estimated to be two bushels an acre. Winter rye was 2 ½ bushels to the acre and in Hill County it was reported “practically no crops harvested except in the northern tier of townships.” A committee of the Hill County Bankers Association scheduled a meeting with the Hill County Commissioners to see what could be done to hasten action rega...
Editor, I am someone who works a full-time job and is pursuing higher education via the internet. Without access to Montana State University Billings’ online program, or without adequate internet access, I would not have been able to continue my education. I strongly support the principles of network neutrality, which prohibit internet providers from blocking or unfairly restricting a consumer’s access to the internet. The Oct. 1 story in the Helena Independent Record, “Court: FCC can dump net neutrality, but can’t bar sta...
I thought that this era — when all our embarrassing, stupid stunts get filmed, posted on the internet and commented on by uncharitable strangers — was enough to make me glad that I grew up in another age, but now I’ve discovered the new Halloween tradition of “trunk or treating.” I don’t know if I could possibly be any sadder for all the little candy grubbers of modern America. Trunk or treating — for those of you who don’t know, as I didn’t until this week — is a Halloween...

Every year, there’s a team in the Big Sky Conference that seems to come from nowhere. A team that both the media and the coaches overlooked back at the Big Sky Conference Kickoff in July. It’s safe to say now that that team is the Sacramento State Hornets. And for both the Montana State Bobcats and Montana Grizzlies, they get to find out just how good the Hornets are over the next two weeks. First up is the sixth-ranked Bobcats (2-0, 5-1), who host the Hornets (1-0, 3-2) for...

The entire Frontier Conference had last week off. And for the Montana State University-Northern Lights, and head coach Andrew Rolin, the bye week couldn't have come at a better time. Now however, Northern (0-4, 1-4) returns to the field with a renewed vigor, as the Lights travel to Eastern Oregon for a Saturday night showdown with the struggling Mounties (1-3, 1-4). But before MSU-N pays a visit to EOU, the Lights had some objectives to get through during last week's bye, and...
The annual Montana State University-Northern Alumni Dual always serves a pair of purposes for Northern head coach Tyson Thivierge. First, the dual, and the weekend in general, is a way to bring Northern's glorious past, of which Thivierge has been a part of both as a wrestler and coach, together. But the second reason the weekend, and the dual itself is so big is, it's a jumping off point for the Lights, who are getting set to embark on their 2019-2020 season. Northern will us...

"To me, FCCLA is a way to learn how to be a leader whether at home, in school or around the community," Havre High School Senior Angelle Roen said, "as well as using what voice we have to try to make a difference in the problems surrounding our community." The Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Montana website says is a non-profit national career and technical student organization for young men and women in family and consumer sciences education in public and...
Out our way friends and spouses and families bond - but so do horses. Charlie had two horses, Freckles and Jet, that were paddock pals. Although I often rode my own horse, Doc, with Charlie quite often I rode Freckles while Charlie rode Jet. Freckles could be a bit nervous and antsy at times, but as long as the Jet was close by, he seemed to be fairly calm. However, as Charlie warned me, when Jet was not close by, Freckles could become pretty agitated. Now, the Tiger Ridge are...
Thursday, Oct. 1, 2018, Child Bridge had its first organizational meeting here in Havre. “What is Child Bridge?” you ask. Well, in a nutshell: Child Bridge’s Mission is to find and equip foster and adoptive families for Montana children who have been victims of abuse or neglect. This mission fits with the scriptures: Psalm 68:5-6 — “For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song. “5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. “6 God sets the lonely in families,— he leads out the p...
You know, Lord, some girl friends had gathered together and were having a great time chitchatting about when their kids were just little tots. Nearly every one of the gals had some amusing and enjoyable things to share about things that had happened, maybe some years ago. One gal told this story: "I'd been busy pulling weeds, then I noticed that my son who was then just 3 years old was observing the sky, clearly watching as the jet kept leaving its trail of smoke and suddenly,...
