By Emily Mayer The big story in the Havre Plaindealer’s Nov. 3, 2017 issue was the exoneration of Hill County Attorney Victor Griggs. As you may recall, Mr. Griggs was accused by Montana Attorney General Sam Ford of not doing his job “maintaining” Havre’s red light district. Judge Mathews issued a very lengthy statement — the story was found on three pages throughout the paper — but in a nutshell, Judge Mathews accused Ford of framing Griggs and noted the statute didn’t direct the county attorney to prevent crime; that w...

I am drawn to useful people, and somewhere along the line I realized that it’s as if — on some subconscious level — my brain is working to assemble a zombie apocalypse team. A team that could save the world. If it comes that we survive fire and ice, gale-force winds, floods and earth-shattering quakes only to be overrun by gruesome, brain-crazed half-humans gone overripe, I have this crisis covered with my peeps by my side. Sure, our collective skills set includes plent...

Out our way, Goliath and I used to ride in the hills behind the corral and arena area - and not too far past the pasture gate was a junk pile. Mostly old boards and such, but clearly things that were no longer of any use and just tossed away to decay and fall apart. Years ago when I worked with the Salvation Army, I regularly drove truckloads of unusable and worthless junk to the landfill east of town. At one tim, all of it had been new and valuable, filling the purpose for...
You know, Lord, sometimes one comes across some very interesting reading. Author unknown mentioned that the blood of us humans makes a complete circuit every 23 seconds. Amazing! The author mentioned a few more of Your creations, Lord: the inside of a cucumber is often 20 degrees hotter than the surrounding air … a grasshopper can jump 2 fee … there is a separate silk strand for each kernel on an ear of corn … a flea is capable of moving weight hundreds of times heavier than himself … a camel can drink 25 gallons of water i...
You’re missed dear one — you flew away, you were “our” helping hand. No matter what we do down here, we know you’re where it’s grand. It’s autumn now, there’re leaves to rake, the colors are pure art. The grass and trees and mountains, too, God make it from the start Our homestead is so pretty now, we still can see for miles, When you were here we had such fun, our guests would be all smiles. Mourning and grief are hard to bear; we think of you and cry. We know our life here on this earth is short and then we die. A burial j...

The Montana State Bobcats are on a roll. The Montana Grizzlies are trying to get back on one. And each team has just two games left before they meet in the annual Brawl of the Wild. Both the Grizzlies and Bobcats are home this Saturday, but each faces a very different test.

The Montana State University-Northern football program has faced a lot of adversity in the past few weeks, but Saturday, in its home finale, it won't get any easier, not with seventh-ranked Southern Oregon coming to town.

"Right now, it's about these guys...
A quick glance at the 2017-18 Montana State University-Northern wrestling roster, and something really stands out - and it's not just that 2017 NAIA national champion Ben Stroh isn't there anymore. No, what's really interesting about these Lights is head coach Tyson Thivierge doesn't have a single senior on his roster. But that doesn't mean the cupboard is bare in the Northern wrestling room - far from it in fact. And while the Lights may be young this winter, they don't lack...
When you think of the prototype football player, that tough, gritty, gutty, hard-nosed player, the one who always seems to have mud and grass stains all over his uniform, one of the positions that best typifies that is middle linebacker.

He's a throwback to the kind of linebacker, the kind of football player t...
