by Havre Daily News staff Libertarian candidate for Montana’s open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives Mark Wicks said in a press release that the government should let veterans use their health benefits anywhere, part of the only function he says the federal government has. “Government has no more than one function,” Wicks said in the release, “and that’s to protect the rights of the individual people in its jurisdiction.” That means, Wicks said, maintenance of national defense. “And that means government must provide...

Thirty years ago, the Montana Legislature passed a bill to establish a one-of-a-kind program to conserve Montana’s best wildlife habitat. Habitat Montana, as it is known, has done just that. With over 600,000 acres of conservation easements and fee-title lands owned by the people of Montana, the program has helped conserve areas vital for the continued abundance of elk, deer and hundreds of other species that need a place to call home during the stressful winter months as well as year round. The program is wildly popular w...

The weather had be...

And ultimately, the Outlaws allowed just two hits in an 8-1 victory. "All in all, I thought we did some good things," North Stars...
