When it comes to a football game, most fans and observers are focused on the players and the coaches, the people most likely to impact and determine the outcome of the game. But in addition to the players and the coaches, who get most of the attention and rightfully so, there is another important human component to high school football, and any sport really, and that's officials. Of course, officials, regardless of the sport, will always be underappreciated. They make an easy...

Montana voters are being asked to make a major policy decision this year that will have long-term effects on the state budget and the tax burden of all Montanans. I’m referring to I 185, the ballot initiative that would make permanent an expensive entitlement program called Medicaid Expansion. As voters prepare to make this serious choice about the direction of state spending, it’s important to understand exactly which programs, and people, are affected. One major program not impacted by I 185 is Medicare, which covers hea...
The top executives of seven tobacco companies testified at a Congressional hearing in 1994 under oath that they didn’t believe nicotine was addictive. None of them ever went to jail for lying. The major opponents to I-185 are RJ Reynolds, owned by a foreign company, British American Tobacco, and Altria. The tobacco industry can legally addict people, make them pay for their addiction and they make a profit from their customers’ addictions. Tobacco is the only consumer product that eventually kills half of its regular use...
Like many of my friends, I’ve worked hard, paid my fair share and volunteered to serve our country. I was recently asked whether I know anyone affected by tobacco-related diseases. Just about my whole Marine Corps League from Billings. My Dad was a World War II veteran who served on Guadalcanal, was also a smoker. Even though he survived the war, emphysema was one of the things that took him at an early age. It’s ironic that the very people who served this country in all corners of the globe are dying of preventable dea...
Of all the news items that could be trending this week, I never would have expected one of the top topics to be squirrels. Not squirrel cartoons, which we love and hate, and not squirrelly politicians, which would seem to be the most likely scenario, but actual bushy-tailed, chatterbox squirrels. The first bit is squirrel-science news from New York City. The Associated Press picked up the story that researchers are taking a census of squirrels in the city’s 840-acre Central Park, to track the “squirrels’ activities, such...

Press release Trappers will begin trapping Monday Oct. 15 and will trap through April 15 in Beaver Creek Park. Traps are usually set near water but can be in other areas. People are asked to please use caution, especially dog owners....
By Emily Mayer Tongues were wagging and rumors rampant in Hill County 100 years ago, not just on one front, but on two and both being joined at the hip. Due to last week’s Internet outage, I wasn’t able to get last week’s column out on time, but these two stories promised plenty of discussion at home coffee klatches and local taverns in the days of yore. Hopefully, you will find them as interesting as I have. In the Oct. 5, 1918 edition of The Havre Plaindealer, a headline ran “Sensational Story Is Badly Explode...
After a strong performance last Saturday by both Havre High cross country teams, the Blue Ponies will set their sights on conquering the Eastern A in the Fall Classic. The Fall Classic, which is essentially a replacement for the old divisional meet in cross country, will feature all 10 Eastern A teams for the first time and it will be right here in Havre at the Beaver Creek Golf Course. The meet starts at 1 p.m. "The kids are pretty excited," HHS head coach Josh Holt said. "I...
The Havre High volleyball team played on the road for the first time in nearly a month Thursday night but, even away from home, the Blue Ponies continued their winning ways. On their way to their ninth win of the season the Ponies dominated Browning, notching 29 kills and 21 aces en route to a three-game sweep by the scores of 25-14, 25-14 and 25-17. Havre is now 9-6 on the season and will head to Cut Bank Saturday for its final non-conference match of the season. 'The girls...
The Havre High football team won't be making the playoffs this season, but the Blue Ponies still have two chances left to play spoiler starting tonight in Livingston. The Ponies (1-6) and the Rangers (2-5) will renew their long-time rivalry tonight in a game that could impact the Eastern A playoff picture. If Livingston beats Havre (kickoff at 6 p.m.) and follows it up with a win over Sidney next week, the Rangers could sneak into the postseason, something HHS could prevent...
Frontier Conference basketball doesn't start for a couple of months yet, but, with a new season of hoops on the way, the predictions are in. On Thursday, the Frontier released its 2018-19 Preseason Coaches Polls, where the Montana State University-Northern Lights were picked to finish fifth, and the Skylights sixth. On the men's side, Rocky Mountain College was tabbed to win the league title, followed by Lewis-Clark State and Carroll College. The University of Providence was...
In different ways, Saturday is going to be one gigantic day for the Montana State Bobcats and Montana Grizzlies. In Bozeman, the Bobcats (1-1, 3-2) return from their bye week to renew an old rivalry when they host the University of Idaho on homecoming. Meanwhile, the No. 22 Grizzlies (2-1, 4-2) have to trek east to take on the North Dakota Fighting Hawks. And neither game is one the Cats and Griz can really afford to lose. The Bobcats should be heavy favorites against the...
The Frontier Conference isn't easy. There's a reason it's considered the SEC of the NAIA. And one reason why it's not easy is the schedule, with teams playing each other twice a year. Montana State University-Northern head coach Andrew Rolin is about to get his first taste of the unique Frontier schedule as his Lights (0-5, 1-5) travel to Billings to face the No. 16 Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears (3-2, 4-2) Saturday afternoon. "It's something I'm excited about. It's...
You know, Lord, as we check our calendar, we notice that some months are full of birthdays of special folks we know, many that we’re related to! Their ages range from newborn to elderly. How awesome is that!? It’s unique, when we think about it, that You, Lord, have a plan for all of us and that nothing takes You by surprise. We’re all moving along, hopefully, according to the Your “plan.” We know that the devil has a “plan” also, to mess things up, and we know that we, personally and individually, have to decide which plan t...
We last heard from Luther that “gradually contempt of excommunication or papal thunderbolts” were beginning to rise against him in response to what he had written about papal indulgences between 1517 and 1519. Before Luther’s excommunication from the Roman Church in 1520, a condemnatory bull, issued against Luther, was brought to his prince — Frederick the Wise — by a former friend, John Eck. A papal bull was a public decree. In this case, the decree was the condemnation of Luther and those things he had written at that time...
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church will be hosting Bishop Larry E. Maze, formerly the bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas in Little Rock, Arkansas. Maze, who grew up in Havre, will be conducting Holy Eucharist service Sunday at 10 a.m. Everyone is welcome and people are invited to help welcome Maze back to Havre....
Out our way, Charlie and I tended to ride the same trails up on the Tiger Ridge and I was becoming fairly familiar with the area. But one day he took the trail in the opposite direction. To me it was a whole new trail and I saw vistas and things I had never seen before because I saw them in a new way. It was the same trail and yet a whole new trail. The Lord says that in His time He will recreate the universe and make all things new, but I now begin to believe He has already started. Things are different now than they were ...
As seen on a church reader board a number of years ago: “What is truth? Ask God — She has the answer.” Can you imagine the stir that created. While no one asked the person who put it up what was behind it, there was talk about God and the sign throughout the time it was on the church’s reader board. Everywhere one went around town people were talking about God — in the schools, the restaurants, banks, pharmacy, post office, court office sheriff’s department, liquor store, and the health care office. The moment the reader...
