Montana’s U.S. Sen. Jon Tester said in a press conference Monday that his colleagues in Congress need to put politics aside and pass a resolution to keep the government operating, and not repeat the 16-day government shutdown of last year. “The clock is ticking,” Tester said. “We’ve got 15 days until the federal government runs out of money.” House Republicans last year refused to pass a bill to keep the government funded unless it included amendments to the health care reform, which Democrats and President Barack Obam...

The goal is to first get the community members working together to clean up our town, and second, to educate people on the subject of litter and community pride. The Havre Area Chamber of Com...

In a tight battle, it was the Knights who were able to secure the critical road win, hanging on to defeat the Bears by the score of 39-36. The... Full story
