When she retired Monday, Hill County Deputy Dottie Dwyer left behind quite a legacy. In 1997, she became the county's first and longest serving female deputy. "It was a challenging but greatly rewarding career," Dwyer said, several days after her last day at work. Dwyer began her career in law enforcement in 1990. She started out part-time working with the Tri-Agency Safe Trails Task Force, an anti-drug task force comprising members of three different law enforcement...

Grand entries will also happen Saturday at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dustin Whitford, member of the Chippewa Cree tribal council, said the powwow usually takes place on Christmas, but this year, because i...
The Hi-Line’s deteriorating infrastructure is the main thing most community leaders would like to see as a priority for 2016. But issues ranging from the city’s annexation of areas west of the city, discussion about a Hill County tax increase, work on attracting businesses to the new industrial park, improvements to Highway 232 north of Havre and a religious spiritual explosion are among other things people would like to see during the coming year. The Havre Daily News contacted a cross-section of leaders in the area to see...
New Year resolutions don’t work. Don’t go there if you are faint of heart or weak of will. I remind myself of that every year and normally don’t flirt with this danger, but this year … yeah, call me crazy, call me bold, call me a fool’s fool, but I’m doing it. I’m not going with anything too weird, like “get organized,” or physically unattainable, like vowing to climb the Matterhorn or anything equally unattainable like running a 1K marathon. The list contains all the basic, b...
By Emily Mayer Both the past and the future were topics in the Hill County newspapers 100 years ago. The Hill County Democrat did not issue a paper this week, but The Havre Plaindealer’s Jan. 1, 1916 issue had two stories pertaining to land that was once part of Fort Assinniboine: ASSINNIBOINE PARK PLANS SENT EAST Embraces Strip Mile Wide and 24 Miles Long The complete data for the “Assiniboine National Park”, a strip of land one mile wide and 24 miles long, lying along Beaver creek from the old Post south to the sourc...
By Rich Jespersen HELP Committee Drunken driving has become a national epidemic. Each year, drunken-driving crashes kill more than 10,000 people in America. The Hill County DUI Task Force is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this holiday season to reach out to all drivers with an important message about this deadly, preventable crime because Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving. Let’s say you go to a holiday party, you stay a few hours and have a few drinks. When it’s time to go, you think to you...
Three weeks ago I left the sunny climes of Mexico for the frigid badlands of the Yellowstone River around Glendive, one of the strangest trips I’ve traveled. As the holiday season which ends the Old and precedes the New Year rolls around, I tend to be introspective. Plunked down in the country where my ex-husband lived out the last years of his life, here for his memorial service, made me even more so. Memories surfaced like snippets of film. When a couple have children t...
This very special part of the planet that we inhabit faces some serious decisions in coming years. There are problems in our government, our social structure and in our infrastructure. All of the problems are fixable, and we hope the people of north-central Montana muster their intelligence and common sense to sit down and deal with the difficulties we face. For 2016, we’d like to see our area make these resolutions and tackle these problems: Meth Methamphetamine is one of the most dangerous drugs out there. It rips apart b...

It was getting worse for the wear, and the Masons were unable to pay for the needed repairs. The couple is already undertaking renovations to the building. Havre also got attention when three colleges students were brutally stabbed the morning before graduation at Montana State University-Northern when an intruder broke into their Highland Park apartment. The students are in...

Once again Jesus went outside beside the lake. As he walked along he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. 'Follow me,' Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. Later Jesus had dinner at Levi's house and many tax collectors and 'sinners' were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law, who were Pharisees, saw him eating with the 'sinners' and tax collectors, they asked his disciples,...
By Brian Barrows I would like to look at several different forms of worship that are discussed in the Bible. This is by no means an exhaustive list, probably more of a good start. Praise is the first form of worship that I would like to look at. The word, praise is used 277 times in the Old Testament. It is mentioned 164 times in the Book of Psalms alone! We give praise to God for who He is. That can be somewhat different for each one of us but let’s look at some common attributes. True and Living God, Almighty God, God of u...
There is no question that the Havre High wrestling team is among the best in the state and this Saturday in Bozeman, the Blue Ponies will get a chance to prove it once again. After getting two weeks off for the holidays, the Ponies will return to action this weekend when they will dual Butte High, Belgrade and Bozeman in a triangular Saturday in Bozeman. And while the Ponies have proven they can out-dual Class AA schools, particularly after posting a 6-0 mark on their way to...
Both Havre High basketball teams got some much-needed rest over the holiday break and with each team starting January with home games against Malta, the Blue Ponies are going to be thankful they got it. Each Havre team opened the season on the road against Malta and both came away with losses back on Dec. 5. But Saturday at the HHS gymnasium, each team will get a chance to make amends for a season-opening defeat. The Havre boys will take on Malta at 5 p.m., followed by a...
Two road games were all that stood between the Montana State University-Northern Skylights and getting to play in the friendly confines of the Armory Gymnasium for the next month. And they were two, tough road tests. But they were also tests the No. 3 Skylights passed with flying colors as Northern swept games against Northern New Mexico and Arizona Christian over the past two nights at a tournament in Phoenix, Arizona. The Skylights, who improved to 11-1 on the season,...
