We have some grave challenges. I would attest that most crucial among them is our broken immigration system. The United States is being invaded on the southern border and little is being done about it. Most...

Havre City Council Monday night approved the ordinances that would allow street vendors to sell their wares without paying a permit and for the city to be able to mow private property with only one prior notice.

Havre is on the road to face the Great Falls Electrics this afternoon, then the North Stars return home for b...
