HELENA .

The contributions included campaign consulting, direct mail and voter and f... Full story

As she headed into the corner where her table was, a group of...

By Emily Mayer The newspapers in Havre 100 years ago carried several neat articles. The Havre Plaindealer’s April 1, 1916, issue had a good-sized article announcing that the secretary of the interior favored increasing the amount of land for Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation. The amount announced in the newspaper stated the legislation, crafted by Sen. Meyer, set aside 30,900 acres for Rocky Boy Reservation, 80 acres for a reservoir site for the city of Havre and 10,240 acres for Beaver Creek Park. However, Secretary Lane was fa...

I don’t mean to make light of a literally deadly topic, but latest evidence on the mosquito-borne Zika virus shows that my grandmother was psychic in her prediction of this disease invasion. Apparently, even a squat, stern farm grandma can channel the future through a crochet needle. No kidding. The Zika virus, which can cause illness in children and adults and, more significantly, the birth defect microcephaly, has been in Brazil and French Polynesia for years. The virus i...

"He is possessed by Beelzebub. It is the power of the devil that he is able to cast out demons. Jesus said to them, 'How can Satan cast out Satan? A kingdom divided against itself cannot survive and a house divided against itself cannot stand. If Satan opposes himself, then he is divided and cannot stand. Indeed, he defeats himself and is thus destroyed. No one goes into the powerful man's house to rob and plunder unless the strong man is first bound and helpless. Only then ca...
