Members of the county commissions from Cascade, Chouteau, Hill and Liberty counties picked a county commissioner to take the place of a senator who is on her way to work at the state Auditor's Office. The commissioners picked Liberty County Commissioner Russ Tempel to take the place of Sen. Kris Hansen, R-Havre, in Senate District 14. Tempel recused himself from the voting. The votes were weighted by how many votes Hansen had received from each of the four counties, within...
The local Christmas season calendar is packed with tree lightings, live nativity scenes, theatrical performances, acts of charity, choral and orchestral student performances, parades through brightly lit and decorated streets and, of course, Santa sightings. Santa took gift orders Saturday in Havre's 305 Building. Four days later, he visited Rocky Boy schools. Thursday, the next day, Santa gave his reindeer a rest and came back to Havre via BNSF Railway. And those are just the...

As Havre was preparing for Christmas 100 years ago, work continued to complete the long-in-construction St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. This article was printed on the front page of The Havre Plaindealer in its Dec. 23, 1916, issue: HALF OF REQUIRED AMOUNT IS PLEDGED Strenuous Efforts Being Made to Complete New Church The campaign for “Finish-Her-Up” month now going on to complete the new stone structure of St. Mark’s Episcopal church has reached $1024, about one-half of the amount required to finish the walls and put on the...
In this busy time of year — while I wait for the the first wave of crowds to run out of money and the second wave to get their gifts exchanged post-Christmas — so I can do my holiday shopping, I’ve spent some time reading the news recreationally. For fun. I know, weird, right? But this is what I learned: Epa.gov says that between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day people in the U.S. increase their household waste production by 25 percent, which is about 1 million tons extra ...
Before moving to Havre, I didn’t believe small towns existed, much less small town Christmases. It was a myth, all of it, fantasies invented and romanticized in Sherwood Anderson and Larry Watson books. Sure, I’d driven through quaint southern small towns and devoured the most delicious, succulent, fresh-smoked homemade Tennessee barbecue ever known to mankind. But the southern small towns I passed through weren’t real. For all I knew, they were part of a set, a real-life “Truman Show.” None of the people I exchanged...

You know, Lord, as You reckon time, just a couple of days ago a Star was born: 2 Peter 3:8: (“Beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousands years, and a thousand years as one day.”) This unique Star’s purpose? Magi saw the new Star in the east and followed it. Matthew 2:1-2. “behold, Magi from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the East, and have come to worship Him.’” Herod wasn’t pleased with this news. In their...
As pastors, part of our job is to study. Pastor Dan studied Spanish in order to help him in his ministry. At the beginning of your ministry you should immerse yourself in the Word. Fill your reservoir so that rivers of living water will flow out of you and bless your listeners. As you grow in your pastoral experience, you will sense the leading of the Holy Spirit more clearly. You will find yourself drawn to particular topics to study. Remember that we preach Jesus and we attempt to have our listeners choose to go on with...
Mark 1:1 Out our way, Goliath and I made a deal for this week's column. You know how he hates the reindeer ears I made him wear one year for bell ringing with the Salvation Army. Well, he agreed to wear a Santa hat if I wore the antlers and so, if the picture comes out, that is what you will see. It is our special Christmas gift to you, or as some prefer, our "holiday" gift. In many public places, Merry Christmas has been replaced with Happy Holidays because the latter is...
With the holiday break on the horizon and a number of games scheduled in the final few days of school before Christmas, it was a hectic week as far as local boys basketball was concerned. The action on the hardwood started Monday night, when Chester-Joplin-Inverness hosted the Turner Tornadoes. The two teams staged a competitive game, but thanks to a 27-point outing from Cory Richter, the Hawks pulled out a 67-53 win. Tyler Wanken added 18 for CJI, while Spencer Richter also...
Several girls basketball teams closed out the 2016 portion of the season with some exciting games this week. And when the action returns to the Hi-Line in January, teams will already be gearing up for the postseason. On Tuesday night, in Class B action, the Rocky Boy Morning Stars and Harlem Wildcats, two very much-improved teams, staged an epic rivalry game in Rocky Boy. And, trailing by two points in the fourth quarter, the Morning Stars pulled off a thrilling, 56-54 win. Ro...
Facing the monumental task of trying to beat Brendan Howard and the Great Falls High Bison, the Havre High boys basketball team hung tough early, bu,t soon enough, were overrun.

The Havre High girls basketball team may not have beaten Great Falls High Thursday night in Swarthout Fieldhouse, but the Blue Ponies competed from start to finish in a game that caused more stress for the Lady Bison than some expected. It was an up-and-down night for Havre offensively, but the Ponies battled on defense for four quarters, but ultimately lost to Great Falls High 52-45.

There isn't much of a rivalry on the wrestling mat when it comes to the Havre Blue Ponies and Lewistown Eagles going head-to-head. And, when the two teams hooked up to close out 2016, Havre again didn't give the Eagles a chance to make it a rivalry. On the strength of four pins in the first six matches, the Blue Ponies beat the Eagles 39-27 Thursday afternoon at the HHS gymnasium.
