  • George Ferguson Column: Thanks to all who made it possible to bring pro bull riding to the Great Northern Fair

    George Ferguson|Updated Jul 20, 2018

    Cody FourColors Memorial Bull Riding is a big time event, and a lot of fun Rodeo is a big part of the fabric of the Hi-Line. It has been for decades, probably even longer.

  • Candidates get all paperwork up to date

    Derek Hann|Updated Jul 20, 2018

    With the last candidate getting paperwork in order with the Montana Commissioner of Political Practices the full slate of local legislative races is complete. Bob Sivertsen, an independent candidate for House District 28 that basically encompasses Havre, had been late in filing his candidacy statement with the commissioner. “I’m working with her.

    By Emily Mayer The July 20, 1918, edition of The Havre Plaindealer carried a message that those who signed up for war stamp pledges must pay for their pledges as soon as possible to contribute to the war effort.

The Food Administration ran ads about sugar shortages and distribution as well as an ad for Threshermen, reminding them that there are county...

  • Miners sweep Northstars north of the border

    George Ferguson|Updated Jul 20, 2018

    The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball club was hoping to build some good momentum heading into the postseason. The Lethbridge Miners had other ideas. Havre was in Lethbridge Thursday afternoon for the final Northern A District doubleheader of the regular season, and the Northstars dropped both games, leaving them with a 12-14 record in district play. In game one of the double dip, The Northstars lost a back-and-forth heartbreaker, coming up shirt 10-9. Gavin...

  • Learning about weeds on the Marias

    Updated Jul 20, 2018

    This past week I had the opportunity to spend time with weed control folks from all four of the counties I represent. The Marias River runs though Liberty County to Hill County then on to Chouteau County before entering the Missouri just below Loma. Therefore, weeds migrate down stream, this is the focus of the annual Week Float. Noxious weeds were an issue I dealt with when I was with Liberty County as commissioner, then as your senator I voted for weed control bills. Many of the weed team members from the four counties are...

  • View from the North 40: Going fishing with the ol' solutions generator

    Pam Burke|Updated Jul 20, 2018

    On the surface, catfish, a German crisis, baby ducks, the American Old West, modern American Southeast and a sport that sounds like pasta making, but isn’t, don’t seem to have much in common, but I think we can get there from here. News reports started coming out in the fall of 2012 that the wels catfish, a type of catfish common across Europe, were taking over rivers in Germany, including the famous Rhine. This is pretty important stuff, especially since 1) the bio...

  • Out Our Way: Give us our daily bread

    Updated Jul 20, 2018

    Out our way, the wonders of the natural world are all around you if we bother to notice them. Working pairs up on the Tiger Ridge with Charlie, Doc and I noted a great many more critters than the cows we were herding. We saw blue birds, meadowlarks, hawks, some deer, occasional fox and coyotes, and of course all sorts of flies, butterflies, grasshoppers and such. And all were doing just fine. Jesus made a point about taking a clue from the natural world and realizing that if all these creatures are cared for, how much more...

  • Hello God. It's me, Mara

    Updated Jul 20, 2018

    You know, Lord, summertime is a fun time to think about “out-of-the-ordinary” dates and events. How many of us even think about the Dog Days of Summer, July 3 to Aug. 11? “Long ago,” our families “knew” about the dog days of summer, but now, not many young folks even know what we’re talking about. Also, unless you’re one who grows blueberries, how many of us know that July is the Blueberry Month? Cousins reminded us that July is the Ice Cream month as well as the Picnic Month; sounds like fun to me. Speaking of special time...
