When school shootings happen, the ripple effect of those waves wash up on Havre's prairie shores. "There are multiple layers of effects. School is supposed to be a safe place, for one thing," said District Superintendent Andy Carlson Tuesday. "There's an element of fear and I don't think anybody can deny that. I think there's a realization that it can happen." The first known national school shooting is believed to have happened July 26, 1764, in present day Greencastle,...
After a historic season that included an undefeated record, an Eastern A Divisional title and a Class A state title, the Havre girls basketball team dominated the postseason awards like it dominated the entire season.

Local businesses and organizations have chipped in to help a local businessman get revelers home safely on the St. Patrick’s Day holiday Saturday. Clayton Quinnell, owner of Empire PC Shop, said six other groups have joined his business in offering free rides home from bars Saturday. “This year we’re putting together goody bags, something to reward these people for making a smart choice and getting a ride instead of driving home and getting a DUI,” he said. He said the Northern Montana Health Care pharmacy at the clinic,...
By MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA - Democratic senators who supported the banking bill that recently passed the Senate have come under fire from others in their party for backing changes in rules that were meant to deter a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. Sixteen Democrats joined Republicans Thursday in passing the measure. Sen. Jon Tester of Montana is one of those senators, and he's facing a tough re-election campaign in a state that voted for President Donald Trump...

By Emily Mayer War news dominated most of the Havre Plaindealer’s March 16, 1918 edition. We found that Montana was “far behind in thrift campaign,” stating we were 56 percent behind in our proportionment. This was measured by the sale of stamps sold specifically for the effort, with only Wibaux, Granite, Deer Lodge and Meagher counties reporting at 100 percent. Hill County was near the bottom at 16 percent. Perhaps we were exercising thrift in a different manner, keeping money in our pockets instead of buying war stamps. The...
This is another election year and my heart would be filled with a sense of dread and foreboding sauteed in a tangy brine of bored cynicism, if it weren’t for a few bright spots of hope. Hope for hijinks, pratfalls and a little bit of “what the what is that about?” already forming. Elvis Presley is alive and well in Arkansas, of all places, and looking for his magic moment in the Arkansas State House. The Associated Press reported Feb. 27 that Elvis D. Presley, who is a professional impersonator of famous rock crooner Elvis...
Editor, According to the Federal Communications Commission’s 2016 Broadband Progress Report, 39 percent of rural Americans, roughly 23 million people, do not have access to high-speed internet. Whether it’s a student taking a class via distance learning, a small clinic practicing telemedicine, or a small business using e-commerce platforms, expanding high-speed broadband access will have incredible benefits for rural Montana. Today in Montana, approximately 50,000 residents are unable to access reliable internet. Even mor...
For 20 minutes Thursday night, the Montana Grizzlies looked like a team that was well on their way to becoming part of One Shining Moment — an annual tribute to the NCAA Tournament which immediately followed the conclusion of the national championship game. Unfortunately, for the other 20 minutes Thursday night in Wichita, the Grizzlies looked exactly like they were supposed to — a small school, from a Mid-Major Conference, playing one of the big boys. They looked exactly lik...

You know, Lord, if we would just stop to think for a moment, we might realize that we really do live in an incredible world! The expanse of space is humbling. The majesty of the mountain peaks takes away our breath. Some folks are lucky enough to see mountains from where they live, other folks have to drive a ways to see such sights, but seeing mountain peaks is a tremendous sensation. On and on we could go, describing all the beautiful, magnificent and awe-inspiring wonders of the universe. The variety, the order, the...
This week we will conclude our look at some of the information presented by Howard Dayton in his book “Money and Marriage God’s Way.” Proverbs 21:20 In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. One of my Bible heroes is Joseph. He saved during seven years of great abundance in order to survive seven years of famine. Saving is not spending today so that you will have something to spend in the future. The Bible teaches us that the borrower is servant to the lender and that...
Out our way, if you transport livestock any distance you may have to deal with a brand inspector. I had to carry paperwork for Doc and Babe when I took them out of the county just to demonstrate they were really mine. In the old days before fences were so common, large roundups were held on the open range and "reps" from different outfits came to the brandings just to make sure that the calves being branded had the same brand as their mamas. Branding is still common, of...

As a scientist, Livestock Operations manager for the Northern Agricultural Research Center Cory Parsons, an Idaho native, "objectively" believes that Montana beef is superior. No, he said he can't prove it with science or research, but he has his reasons. "I think it's a combination of the weather, genetics and the grass. These calves," Parsons said Tuesday, "they'll go any place in the Pacific Northwest, in the Midwest, and compete in a feedlot." Montana beef, annually, is a...
