Havre Mayor Doug Kaercher said the city used to require businesses to be licensed by them in order to operate, but the recurring fees associated with that license were perceived by many as “being double taxed,” so the city council got rid of the requirement. Kaercher said the city isn’t interested in br...

It wasn't the kind of national tournament the Montana State University-Northern Lights were gunning for. But it sure did end on a high note.

Burns, unseeded at 184 pounds, made a trek through the wrestle backs at nationals. He won his first round match, but then lost to fourth-seeded...

And I have been continually surprised (and proud) as year after year after year Fifth Avenue Christian Church has continued to make a baby quilt for every baby born at...
