It was a couple of weeks ago that the main state budget bill — House Bill 2 — passed the House of Representatives. I voted against it, and I want to be clear about why. HB 2, as it stands now, falls far short of meeting the scale of crises facing northern Montana and most Montanans, for that matter. We came into this session with a $2 billion surplus.

Blaine County Sheriff John Colby was not able to respond to requests for comment from the Havre Daily News by print deadline this morning. The search for Haseagle was started on the F...

Don Thoma was recently promoted to the position of publisher of the daily newspaper in northern Montana by owners Gary Stevenson and Robb Hicks.

The Havre Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Hill County Community Foundation is holding the event, which typically will be held around Earth Day, which encourages local residents to get out and spend the morning cleaning up the community after a long winter inside.

Our landlord, Jorge, loves his suns. I am sure he loves his son, Jorge Jr., as well, but I am talking about the other kind of sun. This is why there are nearly 3,000 smiling sun faces decorating the hotel where we stay when we are in Mexico. Two more were added yesterday. Much of the time my husband, Peter, and I are in our little apartment in Jorge’s hotel, there is a team of artists working. Fabricio is the father, and usually at least two and sometimes three of his sons w...
