My grandma made amazing cookies. They weren’t just the best on the Hi-Line. They were the best in Montana. I’m sure those are fighting words to anyone lucky enough to grow up with doting grandparents. However, if she were still here to bake them today, I could prove it thanks to a new law. As of Oct. 1, my grandma could have sold her baked goods to the public. With bipartisan support, House Bill 478 passed the Montana Legislature easily and provides a new tool for food entrepreneurs by implementing cottage food. As of Oct...

The note said that rent hadn't been paid and no insurance had been paid on the building. That apparently meant that Havre realtor Sheila Forshee, who leased the building, had not made her payment or purchased insurance. The note sent some of th...

G. Bruce Meyers said he was exhilarated and terrified when he took his seat in the Montana House. At 66, this political newcomer is the most unlikely of state lawmakers. A Native American Republican with no political experience, he was elected from the most Democratic district in the state by defeating a respected opponent. But in a western version of “Mr. Meyers Goes to Helena,” he went to the state Capitol and made his mark in his first session. He reflected on the recently completed session Friday at the Hill County Pac...

The Havre High track teams closed out a busy week Saturday as the Blue Ponies hosted Malta and Lewistown in a track triangular.
