Editor’s note: This corrects the date that has the deadline for late registration and absentee voting registration. With hotly contested races coming up on Election Day Tuesday, clerks and recorders are reminding people that deadlines are coming up and voters have to meet those if they want their votes to count. Monday at noon, late registration and absentee voting closes. Same-day voting registration starts Tuesday, running from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the local clerk and recorde...
You know, Lord, November has sneaked right in! Time sure does seem to fly around here - that's what a host of friends say. Looking out the window or taking a walk, one can't help but notice the falling leaves which seem to be the business that November is doing. Oh, there are some leaves that dangled on a naked branch and refuse to fall until spring comes along and thrusts them off to make way for the greenery of the year born new. Cottonwoods change from their shiny green...
"You are a young pastor so you will bring young people to the church." As a young pastor, I have heard this line again and again. And to be honest, it usually makes me cringe a little because I do not believe Christian formation and care can come from one person alone. So I want to write this three-part series on being "Young and Faithful" in the 21st century. In the last several years, there has been a crisis among mainline churches that all the young people are leaving the...
Halloween has brought out all the spider decorations, but a man in Fresno, California, who was house sitting for his parents, had a problem Oct. 24 with real spiders, a problem he felt compelled to take care of himself. With a blowtorch. To be honest, the story, the visuals, the laughs, they just about write themselves after that last part. The details are pretty standard and, frankly, on the lighter side of tragedy. No one was killed or injured, no other structures or...

For the second straight Saturday, the Montana State University-Northern Lights have a tough road trip to make. And for the second straight Saturday, the Lights are facing a team suffering a four-game losing streak. Last Saturday, the Lights’ attempt to hand Carroll College a fifth straight loss didn’t go so well, as the Fighting Saints blitzed Northern 56-7 behind a record-setting rushing performance from Ryan Arntson. Now, Northern will turn its focus to trying to hand Southe...

For the second straight season, the Big Sandy Pioneers are back in the quarterfinals of the Class C Six-Man playoffs. But if they want to advance any further, the Pioneers will need to do something no one has done all season, and that’s beat Wibaux. Wibaux, the champion of the Eastern Division in Six-Man football, opened the postseason with a 59-6 over Shields Valley last week, and now the Longhorns will set their sights on the Pioneers, who will pay a visit to Wibaux S...
By Emily Mayer This week's column is a reminder of the old adage "the more things change, the more they remain the same." For all the current hopping up and down, finger pointing and bawls of "fake news" emanating from various persons from the highest office in the land on down, those of us alive today didn't invent that as the Nov. 2, 1918, edition of The Havre Plaindealer proves. First, a correction. For all of the yammering of the political war between Hill County Attorney...
Out our way, it's not unusual to see fellow riders in the doctor's office or hospital. My doctor, who is a horseman himself, got a chuckle the last time I was in with sprained ribs. "Doc toss you again?" "Yup." So down to the X-ray unit to be sure it's just a sprain and nothing is broken, then the tight wrap around the ribs for the next few weeks. Anyone who rides knows that when it comes to horses and wrecks it is not a question of "if" but of "when." Now I grant you, really...

Experience counts, and nowhere is this more true than the current race for the Clerk of the Montana Supreme Court. Rex Renk has been in the office for over 24 years and the Chief Deputy for 23 years. His knowledge and expertise are vital in the continued smooth running of this important state office. When we, as district court clerks, have a question or an issue involving the Supreme Court the first call we make is to Rex. We have come to rely on his intelligence, professionalism, and desire to serve all Montanans regardless...
Editor, My name is Raymond Nelson, a 1964 graduate from Havre Central High and 26 1/2 year Navy veteran. I was a resident of Montana from 1946 to 1980. It was then I changed residency to South Carolina where I was stationed and bought a home. I am a registered Montana purple heart recipient. The above mentioned background, I believe, justifies my right to voice my opinion. I am currently back in Havre to celebrate my mother’s 94th birthday. My current residence — since 2001 — is in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. What...
On Jan. 11th of this year, I wrote a check for $15, filled out a form on the Secretary of State’s website and signed on the dotted line to become a candidate for the Montana Senate in District 14. Since that cold winter day over 290 days ago, I’ve had the unique opportunity of traveling the highways and dirt roads of this sprawling rural district, which encompasses a large section of northern Montana, from the Canadian border to neighborhoods in northern Great Falls. In addition to putting thousands of miles on my truck, I’v...

With faltering steps and shaking hands, we’re thankful for clear mind. Some of our dear ones headed home, caretakers were so kind. We’re blessed with friends with cheery smiles as we enjoy our tea. While there are some whose eyes grow dim, we know our Lord can see.[1] We all know folks who’d like new ears; we see them strain to hear. We all remember yesterdays which often bring a tear. We’re thankful, Lord, though You’re ahead, we know You’re with us still. We, too, grow old — as did dear ones, though illness gives a chill...

The weather is turning colder here in Havre and that's always a sign that hockey season is right around the corner and, soon enough, the Havre Ice Hawks will be back on the ice. In fact, they will be back in action this weekend, inside the Havre Ice Dome against Missoula Saturday night at 8 and again Sunday morning at 10:30. And once again, the Ice Hawks will be led by head coach Barry Brownlee, who said he was encouraged by having 20 players come out for the team. "Anytime...
The Havre High volleyball team was hoping to take a step toward the Class A state tournament with a win Thursday at the Eastern A Divisional Tournament. Unfortunately, Miles City was standing in the way. The Blue Ponies, who came into the tournament needing two wins to advance to state, failed to get the first one Thursday as Miles City knocked off Havre in four sets by the scores of 14-25, 25-17, 25-12 and 25-23. The loss will put Havre into loser-out action this morning...
It's been a rough season for a very young, inexperienced Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. The Skylights haven't won a single match in Frontier Conference play. And yet the Skylights have a chance to bring a bright light to the end of the regular season. That's because Northern plays at home for their last two matches of the regular season, and there's nothing better than playing in the Armory Gymnasium. This weekend will be especially special for the...
Ahead of the Montana State University-Northern Lights' dual with North Idaho College, veteran head coach Tyson Thivierge called the Cardinals his "Kryptonite". But Thursday night in the Armory Gymnasium, the Lights appeared plenty immune to any super powers the Cardinals might have had over them. In their second dual of the season, the Lights destroyed NIC, a perennial NJCAA powerhouse, 35-3. Northern won the dual in convincing fashion, losing just one match, scoring bonus...
