The Salvation Army, founded in 1865 in London by a Methodist preacher named William Booth, has since spread to 127 countries, with 7,551 centers in communities across the U.S., including one in Havre. Havre's Salvation Army started as the Salvation Army Emergency Services Church around the same time a major flood had devastated the area, 1914, Social Services Director Trina Crawford said, and the Christian charitable organization's services were severely needed. The...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights responded to their first back-to-back losses like great teams do — by coming right back and winning.

GREAT FALLS - It has been 10 years since the Hays-Lodge Pole boys basketball team won the Class C state championship. In fact, it's been 10 years since the Thunderbirds have made it to state, but that's something they are hoping to change this season. After beating Centerville in the quarterfinals of the Northern C Divisional, the T-Birds are just a win or two from the state tournament and if they happen to get there, two of the people most responsible will be senior guard Tys...

By Emily Mayer One of the unseemly facts about living 100 years ago was the lack of sanitation. It was not uncommon for communities to have piles of garbage in back yards, and water and wastewater treatment plants were in their infancy in the early 1900s in rural America. Havre was of no exception. Dangerous outbreaks were not unknown at the time, and this article found in the Editorial section of the Feb. 24, 1917, issue of The Havre Plaindealer reminds people of the dangers of disgusting habits: LET HAVRE INVESTIGATE Again...
I didn’t realize before now that I had preconceived notions about how a quarter-feral cat would behave, but I see, now, that I did, and that image did not include him being a demanding prima donna. The survival neurosis I get. Hyper-aware of his surroundings, Tony the cat is afraid of confinement, loud noises, chaos and strangers. When you’re a cat trying to make your way alone in the big world, you need cat-like instincts and reflexes to survive. At three-quarters tame Tony n...
The Hi-Line has done it again. I am smitten. Some more. I’ve savored the charms of sparsely populated, quiet, no traffic, low crime Montana for more than a year now since my cross-country move. But one thing I never thought would give me warm fuzzy feelings here, one thing I never thought would find a way to measure up — sports is that one thing. I’m talking mainly about football and basketball, two of the greatest American inventions, right up there with sliced bread and Maxim magazine. I’m not much into wrestling, which a...

The Chamber’s Athletic Committee secured volunteers to work the tournament, along with recruiting 25 business sponsors to host the hospitality rooms for tournament officials and coaches to enjoy. Thank you Culligan, Coke, MSU-N F...
Editor, It’s ironic that Cat Country KCTR 102.9 radio announcer Paul Mushaben opened his February 2I, 2017, post with the statement that...” It’s always the kids that suffer...” His comments about separate tournaments for Native Americans is clearly based upon race and directly impacts “the kids.” How could it not? In defense of his comments that there should be racially separate basketball teams, Paul Mushaben’s self-righteously states that the rules should be the same for both Native and non-Native teams. How very generous...
One week after Rep. Jeff Essman, R-Billings, the state Republican Party chair, apologized to Rep. Jacob Bachmeier, D-Havre, for official GOP Facebook and Twitter posts insulting the freshman legislator, Essmann now has irritated some officials from his own party. Essmann issued an “Emergency Chairman’s Report” Wednesday saying that, somehow, getting more people voting by using a mail ballot in a special election for Congress would favor Democrats — so Republicans should contact their legislators and tell them to vote against...

You know, Lord, little children love sitting on Mommy’s or Daddy’s lap and listening to them read a story. Little ones are examining every picture; they wait eagerly to hear what is on the next page. Perchance Mommy misses a word or two, don’t we all know little ones who know that and quickly correct Mommy or Daddy? When one is the “Nana,” it is a lot of fun to hold little ones. They like to hold that book. We know they’re paying attention and they do know when we miss a word or two. Have we ever thought about how our very li...
“In the world you shall have tribulation,” Jesus said. More than 2,000 years later, we look around at our world and think, “He got that right!” In fact, we need look no further than our own backyard. Right now, for example, I can think of at least two or three families in my circle of friends who are dealing with serious health issues, to name just one area of concern. Some circumstances have been so severe or lasted so long, that people have begun to lose hope. Once that happens, not only are we dealing with the illness itse...
Mark 11:27-33 Out our way, it can be a bit “hairy” crossing streams in the spring as the ice melts. The bridge out at the Lion’s Campground in Beaver Creek Park was wiped out a few years ago and Goliath and I had to wade across the stream. It wasn’t that high, but the current was strong and we saw twigs, leaves and even entire tree branches being swept along as we crossed. It reminded me of a lesson I learned years ago while canoeing on a stream that had an equally-strong current: You can go with the flow or you can paddle...

As a journalist, I will never, ever step on the Constitution of the United States. Freedom of speech, no matter what stupid things come out of people's mouths, sometimes is a right in this country, and the First Amendment is something I take very seriously, and never for granted, every single day. There, I said it. We all have the right to say what we want to say, even when some of the things that we say are really ignorant. On Tuesday, something really ignorant was said...
GREAT FALLS — As the third-place team from the District 9C, few expected the Chinook Sugarbeeters to make a run in the Northern C Divisional tournament, but thanks to clutch play late in games, the Beeters are in uncharted territory — the Northern C semifinals. After narrowly defeating Denton-Geyser-Stanford Wednesday, the Beeters snuck out another close victory, upending Sunburst in overtime 39-38. The win puts Chinook into the semifinals, where it will face Hays-Lodge Pol...
GREAT FALLS — In two championship games a season ago, the Belt Huskies pretty much ran over the Box Elder girls. In the Northern C semifinals Thursday night inside the Four Seasons Arena, the story was completely different, but the end result was the same. For much of the highly anticipated meeting between perhaps the two best teams in Class C yet again, Box Elder played the Huskies straight up. In the end however, the Huskies nosed in front and stayed there, earning an exciti...
