Editor, Really? I found the article in the Havre Daily News to be disparaging concerning Tammy Walters. Tammy is far from a greedy uneducated businesswoman. During the complete shutdown she continued to pay her employees as if they were working. That information came from her grateful employees not Tammy. She genuinely cares about her employees as well as her many patrons. I am not sure where all the complaints are coming from as no one is obligated to frequent the Golden Spike. So why complain? I would wager most other bar o...

That’s 51.3 percent for Biden, 46.8 percent for Trump. That is not considered a close election. The electoral college tally was even more decisive, with Biden winning 306 t...
The overwhelming number of videos about the D.C. protest-turned-siege of the U.S. Capitol didn’t make me think of my grandpa until I saw an entirely unrelated video that seemed to complete the picture, like a Venn diagram with the American flag in the center. I’ve written about Grandpa before, a gentleman with a warm heart, a quick humor and strong ethics. The son of immigrants, one Irish and one German born on the boat over to the U.S., Grandpa loved life, so loved many thi...

Havre was set to host Hardin, as well, but the Bulldogs will not be making the trip. Havre is two weeks into the delayed wrestling...
