A Republican Havre businesswoman is challenging the incumbent Hill County treasurer in the Nov. 6 election. Penny Hadford said her 40 years of experience in business and finance will help her in the office if she is elected. "I think I would bring a fresh approach to the office," she said. "I think I always see how things can be done more efficiently, save time and money." She faces incumbent Democrat Sandy Brown, who is seeking her third term in the office. Hadford said she...
The Havre Animal Shelter has begun a program aimed at reducing the feral cat population that is becoming a major issue in the community. Havre Animal Control Officer Peter Federspiel said the problem is a mixture of a growing cat population as well as an inability to get cats adopted quickly. By comparison, 97 percent of dogs that come in to the shelter are adopted, Federspiel added. Live traps have been set to catch feral cats, Federspiel said, adding that the traps are simple and humane. Cat food is placed inside a cage...
A KFC manager said Thursday work is underway on the first remodel of the Havre KFC restaurant in two decades. Brett Harris said work started Thursday on the outside of the restaurant and work will also include remodeling the inside. Harris said the work will likely extend through the winter. The restaurant will stay open through the remodel, he said, although either the drive through or the interior might be closed for about a day at times, but never both on the same day. He...
The manager of the Havre Food Bank said the staff wants to thank the community for helping to make this year's Everybody Loves Firefighters food drive even better than last year. Samantha Nimmick, director of the food bank, said they were able to raise 6,199 pounds of food Wednesday and Thursday nights which exceeded their total from last year's E.L.F. drive. "I was worried after the first night," Nimmick said. "We only raised 1,877 pounds of food. But the second night we...

By Emily Mayer The barbs continued back and forth between the Havre and Hill County newspapers 100 years ago, particularly between The Havre Plaindealer and the Havre Daily Promoter. “Daily except Mondays” as the Plaindealer snidely reminded its readers. The two issues between the rival newspapers were the same as had been for weeks — the Border Saloon raid and the split of the county Republican party. Of the latter, in the Plaindealer’s Oct. 26, 1918, edition, it contends strife within the Republican party but the other t...
I’m not a fan of reality TV because I can’t stand all the drama, worse, it’s manufactured drama. That is just not my thing. I know that makes me sound old and stodgy, but I was there and of that age when MTV descended from music video television to reality television. I hated it then, too. Reality TV programs are like an online comment section come to life, only you can’t easily skip across the nonsense you don’t want getting into your brain. Plus, it’s so much worse to pu...
The Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats are coming into Saturday’s Big Sky Conference slate of games both reeling from bitter losses. And yet, things not only don’t get any easier for either, they might be even tougher. In the case of the Grizzlies (2-2, 4-3), they return from the bye week having suffered back-to-back losses, including an embarrassing 41-14 loss at North Dakota two weeks ago. Now, UM is in danger of missing the FCS playoffs for the third straight sea...
Last weekend, it was the Montana State University-Northern women who kicked off their 2018-18 basketball season, and the Skylights did so with a win. This weekend, it's the men's turn to get things started. Saturday night, the Lights will make their season debut when they host Salish Kootenai College at 6 p.m. inside the Armory Gymnasium. Right off the bat, Northern head coach Shawn Huse said, his new-look team should be tested. "They're (Bison) very talented this year," Huse...
It hasn't been often in the history of the series between the Montana State University-Northern Lights and the Carroll College Fighting Saints that the Lights shouldn't feel like a decided underdog going into a game at Nelson Stadium. Then again, there was a time when every team in the Frontier Conference was a decided underdog when it played Carroll at home. However, the Lights (0-7, 1-7) certainly aren't being looked at as underdogs when they invade Nelson Stadium for a...
The Havre High volleyball team will be headed to Glendive next week for the Eastern A Divisional tournament, but prior to that the Blue Ponies will celebrate senior night inside the HHS gymnasium Saturday against Belgrade. The Panthers and the Ponies have been rivals for years, but this will constitute the last time Belgrade and Havre will meet in a Central A conference match, as the Panthers are heading to Class AA next season. Besides that fact, the match has a lot of other...

Both Big Sandy and Chinook will open the postseason Saturday, however, they will do it on opposite ends of the state. Big Sandy, the second seed from the Six-Man North Division in Class C, will host White Sulphur Sp...

We were last left warming our hands over the fire of burnt papal decrees, canon law, and the bull, “Exsurge Domine,” which called for Martin Luther’s recantation and excommunication. The year was 1520. Almost two decades after this climatic scene, Luther would write the “Smalcald Articles,” which were a concise confession of the Christian faith. He prepared them in the event that a free council was called so the Lutherans would be prepared to give a defense for the hope they clung to by faith (I Peter 3:15). In the “Smalcald...
You know, Lord, sharing some Christian One Liners is fun. Authors are unknown but here are a few: 1. Don’t let your worries get the best of you; Remember, Moses started out as a basket case. 2. It’s easier to preach 10 sermons than it is to live one. 3. Some people are kind, polite, and oh, so sweet-spirited — that is, until you try to sit in their pews. (Ain’t that the truth – we’ve probably all seen that … ). 4. The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close. 5. People are funny: They wan...
Out our way, it was always a thrill to saddle up and ride with ole “Doc.” Goliath, as was his real name, was a majestic horse, 16½ hands high, 1,200 pounds — and my buddy. When it was time to ride, I went out into the pasture with his halter and lead rope, walked over various hills and ridges until I found him and Babe grazing, and then approached. Babe would usually shy away, but Doc just stood calmly, his big “mule” ears straight up as I approached. He was tempted to follow Babe as she moved off — but I raised my hand, pal...
When you think of Six-Man football, most tend to think of a wide-open game with lots of points. And while Big Sandy scores a lot of points, the Pioneers don't do it by throwing a lot of passes or running a spread offense. Instead, Big Sandy does it with old-school power football, and that's a recipe the Pioneers are bringing into the Six-Man playoffs, which they will open as the No. 2 seed from the North Division Saturday at home against White Sulphur Springs. "We are a physic...
