Havre has an unbalanced number of bars, according to the state, and knows how to use them. Officials at the Montana Department of Revenue say Havre is supposed to be issued nine liquor licenses, based on its size and population. Since many of the establishments and licenses in Havre were established before the laws changed to limit the number of licenses an area may have, many of the licenses are grandfathered in. Havre has 21 liquor licenses within its city limits - or 12 mor...

Havre Police Department officers got more than they bargained for when they impounded a vehicle earlier today. A section of the police station’s parking lot is taped off after officers found what appears to be a possible explosive device in the vehicle. Officers are now waiting for the Great Falls Malmstrom bomb squad to arrive in Havre to investigate the possible explosive device and dispose of it properly if it turns out to be one. Acting Police Chief Gabe Matosich said that it looks like it could be a pipe bomb of some s...
Emily Mayer It is no secret that I love old buildings. I truly enjoy researching the history of Hill County's old buildings, photographing them and sharing the information with others. With the exception of four years, I have always lived in an old house, though not necessarily designated as historic. Living in and rehabilitating old buildings is very satisfying for me, and I'm lucky to have found my passion and my calling in life. I am also fortunate to have worked in several...

In late October, Republican Bruce Meyers was going door to door on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation looking for votes in his seemingly uphill effort to get elected to the Montana House in a district that includes Rocky Boy, Fort Belknap and some surrounding farms and ranches. "They thought I was trick-or-treating," Meyers recalls with a laugh. People offered him candy. Candidates had never gone door to door in Rocky Boy, he said. Democrats always assumed they would win. The tact...

Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to love horses — sure, it sounds like a catchy country tune, but really, don’t. Just don’t. Horse people say things about loving horses — how they’re passionate about them, or how horses speak to their soul — but really it’s an illness, an addiction without a ribbon to help garner awareness or support for this tragic disorder of character. Given the least chance, horse people talk about horses almost as much as they think about them: inces...

By Francine Brady Blaise Pascal is quoted as saying, “Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.” Such a simple thing is kindness. These words ring true in a story written by R. S. Palacio. “Wonder” is the story of August Pullman a 10-year-old boy with severe facial abnormalities who goes from being homeschooled to entering fifth grade at a private middle school. Enduring taunts from his classmates, his biggest desire is to be accepted for who he is and not for his looks. “Wonder” is a page turner filled with...
By Brian and Vicki Barrows Do you work in retail? If so, you’ve just completed your busiest time of the year, right? And now you’re seeing the folks who want to return or exchange the Christmas gifts that didn’t work for them. From the retailer’s perspective an exchange is better than a refund, because inventory still goes out the door, and money stays in the till. Actually, many customers prefer an exchange, as well, because they go home with something they selected, so they know it fits and is a color they like, for exa...
