By Emily Mayer Those looking to enjoy adult libations during the upcoming Great Northern Stampede were sorely disappointed. The Havre Plaindealer ran this article on the front page of its June 28, 1919, edition: MANY THIRSTY SOULS GAZING AT CITY HALL One Thousand Quarts Reposing There as Result of Raid Since Wednesday there have been reposing the city jail 1,000 or more quarts of beer which some have thought were intended to be used as thirst quenchers during the week of the coming Great Northern Montana Stampede. The beer...
The fifth Fossil Festival will be Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 4, 5 and 6, 2020. It will be the second hosted by Havre Public Schools Education Foundation.

It is the hope of foundation directors that all of the dedicated, hard-working volunteers that made the prior four festival weekends a great success will, again, be on hand to do their magic for the 2020...
For reasons that still seem sound because we all made it home safe — which I’m happy to state at the outset for people who can’t handle suspense — two friends and I hauled horses to Power, Montana, and back home yesterday despite ill-weather predictions. To be fair, when the appointment was arranged, the forecast was for 70 percent chance of rain and thundershowers. The little storm icon only had clouds and rain that was depicted falling straight down from the clouds to the...
Editor, Beaver Creek Park remains a gem in my family’s history: Last week we spent the day there, cooked by fire and had an excellent time of it all — just as I recall from 60 years ago. Kudos to Chad Edgar and his staff for all their huge efforts, plus a thank-you to a community that supports its “Gem of the Hi-Line.” I want also to include the Havre Trails group for their ongoing work in providing a network of fine hiking routes for us to interact with the park, and its flora and fauna. Bill Green, Carolyn Green, Barry a...

Big Sandy rancher and horse breeder Stan Weaver always wanted to have a production sale, but he never dreamed that his annual sales would lead to him taking the helm of the world's largest horse breed registry and membership organization. Weaver, who has already served four years on the American Quarter Horse Association executive committee, was appointed committee president during the organization's annual meeting in March. Ironically, though, even at the helm of an...
You know, Lord, some time ago, Ivan Doig wrote: “These strange beings, ourselves, need the night but sometimes are entirely at odds with it.” We could name a few of us who may also have times when we are at odds with the night, so to expand on that thought, did You, Lord, want our attention? Is there a matter that we need to bring to You? Did we forget to pray for another, or are You trying to get our attention so You can talk with us? It seems there is a trough in the dark — as well as in the bed! — as one wallows, trying to...
Midway through writing my last sermon, I took a little break as I am wont to do and checked my Facebook. Perhaps not a great habit but sometimes the mind can only remain focused for so long. As I scrolled my news feed, I came across a meme with the quote: “We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have the answers.” I liked it. I shared it. Then I went back to completing my message for Sunday’s worship. Now, evidently, the message of the meme continued to resonate with me because I wound up wi...
Many of the ideas and Scriptures used in this article are from the book “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn. Revelation 2:17 states, “I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.” We know that we will each receive a new name in Heaven. What else might we possibly be given? On this present earth Jesus was close to Peter, James and John. His friendships begun on earth and our friendships with other believers will continue. Each of us will be rewarded according to our differe...
Out our way, patience is an art form. When Charlie and I worked cattle, he never slowed down, but neither did he seemed impatient. No matter what the task of the day was or how difficult, Charlie was content that we would eventually get the job done. Even when the two of us had all we could do to keep the herd together as we tried to move them to the fall pasture. We spent hours trying to move them forward and they kept breaking off onto a myriad of trails, doubling back on us and simply refusing to get where they needed to g...
From the office of Sen. Jon Tester Following the Trump Administration’s repeated attempts to cut rail funding in rural America, U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., pressed Amtrak officials on their failure to invest in long-distance commuter rail lines that connect rural areas to the rest of the country. The Trump Administration’s budget for Fiscal Year 2020 cuts Amtrak’s budget by nearly 25 percent, or $455 million. In this week's Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing, Tester questioned Amtrak CEO Richa...
The Montana High School Association held an Executive Board Meeting by phone earlier this week, with several actions take, a few of which will affect local high school sports programs.

The stretch run for the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team has arrived, with only a few weeks left in the 2019 regular season.
