The people of Rudyard have been without an official sore head since the last one, Cliff Ulmen, died at the age of 95 Dec. 7, 2014. By Sept. 18, they will have a new one. For decades, Rudyard has been identified by its highway signs - one at the edge of town, one on U.S. Highway 87 near Loma by a road that cuts to the small Hi-Line town of Rudyard- as being a town full of nice people and "1 Old Sore Head." Those signs have been updated over the years, with the current version...
A Chinook woman has invited a California dog trainer to Havre to help meet demand for those seeking quality dog training sessions. Alissa Hewitt, owner of three rescue dogs, said she invited trainer Scott Jackson for four days of instruction after many people told her they wished there were more options for dog owners looking for training. “We don’t have any resources at all for dog training,” Hewitt said Wednesday. “Nobody has access to this kind of thing. I just thought this would help. Jackson has nearly two decades...

By Emily Mayer There was a lot of local news in The Havre Plaindealer's Aug. 4, 1917, issue. The 1917 Chautauqua schedule was the biggest news, with pictures of leading speakers and entertainers filling the front page, as well as a large advertisement with admission fees included and an encouragement to purchase a season ticket to avoid paying single admission tickets, which were "nearly three times the cost of season tickets."

“Well, that was a lucky water break.” Trust me, if you have to say you had a water break, it’s best to have a lucky one. Way back in the early days of Pam and John, we had a water break under the trailer house we were living in. It flooded the pit that the water cistern was in under the house. The temperature was 50 degrees below zero. The water break was inside the pit of water. That was not a lucky water break. Last winter we had a water main break somewhere in the 400 f...

The day you left just broke my heart but love’s still safe inside. You’re missed so much, more every day, though part of me has died. Its been some years since you’re been gone, you’re greatly missed each day. Our heart does ache, it’s lonely here since you were called away. If ‘memory gates’ don’t ever close, we’re never far apart. We won’t forget that we love you; you’re ever in our heart. Our home’s lonely without you dear; life’s simply not the same. When God calls us to come on home, we’ll see you once again! The ‘li...
You know, Lord, several friends chatted about how life, right now, felt like a zoo. One gal shared this poem: ‘When Life is a Zoo’ – author unknown. “When the ark started rolling they learned the hard way, how a seasick hippo can spoil your day. “The turtles refused to come out of their shells. The bloodhounds were sneezing because of the smells. “The lovebirds were fighting; the doves were at war. A sow was complaining her mate was a bore. “A porcupine mister was hurt by his miss when he got over eager attempting a...
Out our way, we know that horses tend to be herd animals, staying together for safety. But we also know that very often there can be a much deeper bond - "stable or paddock mates" - that really do not feel whole apart from each other. Goliath and Babe are like that. If I take Goliath out and leave Babe, they both start calling out to each other. When we come back, Babe is standing at the gate, ears forward, tossing her head and singing out for Goliath, who answers at once....
Whether an offense is airing it out, or running all over the field, defensive backs are a team’s last line of defense. And in the Frontier Conference, as is the case all across NAIA football, defensive backs need to be able to cover both. The Frontier has plenty of standout defensive backs coming back for the 2017 season. At Montana State University-Northern, the secondary has been young over the last several years, and it will likely be again this season, as Northern g...
