Dear Editor, “Wash your hands.” “Wear a mask.” Words that will ring in my ears until this dreaded virus is stopped forever. Until we abide by these regulations, we not live to see what happens.

Abide by regulations.” Please, Montana, mask up; save your life and the lives of others. Vote, too. Carol Heggen Kremlin...

My concern is that defacing or replacing our nation’s flag with a particular party’s propaganda leads toward replacing democracy with fas...

When the pandemic hit this spring, two former Montana State University-Northern college roommates, Jim Elliot and Andy Kueffler, who have families in Havre, decided they wanted to grow pumpkins.
