We always thought it would be nice if the Havre-Hill County Library would be open all day on Saturday. The library now opens at noon, and usually there is a pretty big group of people there using the many services the library provides. That’s why it saddens us that the library will now be closed entirely on Saturday for the foreseeable future. The city of Havre has cut back on its funding for the library to the tune of about $30,000. For this year, the library’s foundation and Friends of the Havre-Hill County Library are goi...

As someone who’s family has been affected by cancer, and as an avid golfer, I can’t say how much it means to me to have a tournament like the Golfing for a Cure Tournament in our area every summer. The cause, and all that the ladies of Havre and surrounding communities do for t...
