U.S. terror warning could hurt Europe's economy ALAN CLENDENNING, Associated Press Writers MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writers MADRID (AP) — A rare advisory for U.S. travelers to beware of potential terrorist threats in Europe drew American shrugs Sunday from Paris to Rome, but tourism officials worried that it could deter would-be visitors from moving ahead with plans to cross the Atlantic. The travel alert is a step below a formal warning not to visit Europe, but some experts said it could still hurt a fragile European e...
Helena teen accidentally texts sheriff to buy pot HELENA, Mont. (AP) — General rule of thumb: when looking to buy marijuana, don't text the sheriff. Authorities say a Helena teen sent out a text message last week in search of pot, but instead of contacting the drug dealer, he hit a wrong number and inadvertently sent the message to Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton. The text read, "Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?" Dutton told the Helena Independent Record he initially thought it was a joke, but he qui...

If the key for a seventh-round draft pick from the Football Championship Subdivision to making an NFL 53-man roster is performing at a high level time and time again in the preseason, then former Havre High three-sport star Marc Mariani is certainly worthy of making the Tennessee Titans' opening-day roster. Over the course of the last month, whether it be practice, scrimmages or in preseason games, Mariani has come up clutch every time a ball has been thrown his way, on almost every kick return and in the all-important...

Gettysburg: fun for the whole family Once a town torn apart by a pivotal battle during the Civil War, Gettysburg is now being split asunder by another civil issue: gambling, specifically, whether or not to allow a casino to be built on a proposed hotel and conference site within a mile of the historic battlefield. The article, "Town split over proposed Gettysburg casino," released by The Associated Press on Aug. 30 reports that "No Casino" and "Pro Casino" signs are appearing all over town. People in favor of the casino say t...
The Montana Example Montana is making national headlines lately, and for a very proud reason: We are one of only two states in America operating without a deficit. The State of Montana has balanced its checkbook five years in a row with no tax increases, no cuts to education or other essential services, and with $327 million in cold hard cash left in the bank. The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fox News, MSNBC and CNN (among others) have all taken notice, describing our work as a national example of fiscal...
YARMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — In the end, Earl's worst damage in New England was to seasonal businesses hoping to end their summer on a high note. The tropical storm, far less intense than feared, brushed past the Northeast and dumped heavy, wind-driven rain on Cape Cod cottages and fishing villages, but caused little damage. It left clear, blue skies in its wake. It was the perfect start to a Labor Day weekend that Cape Cod's restaurants and hotels hoped to salvage after business was decimated ahead of the storm. "This t...
Havre City Council member Bob Kaul told the council Monday that the safety record of city employees nearly earned the city a major award this year. Kaul said the city received a letter from Gov. Brian Schweitzer that the city came in second in the 2010 Governor's Safety and Health Awards Program. "That's still awful good," Kaul said. He added, "If you see any of our guys out there working, tell them good job, because they're the ones who did it." Kaul said state officials came in to review the city and its workers and program...
The Havre City Council Monday night discussed a new idea to create a voluntary business registry to let the city track what businesses are operating to help it in planning and in making any zoning changes. An idea to require businesses to purchase a business license from the city is "on the back burner," Planning and Development Committee Chair Janet Trethewey said. "There was some discussion in the committee that this doesn't have the teeth of an ordinance, but maybe it's a little more palatable," she said. "So (we could tak...
Gov. Brian Schweitzer said Monday that efforts to track down tax cheats is leading to a big increase in audit collections at the Department of Revenue. Schweitzer said audit collections were close to $80 million over the past year, a new record and way up from previous years. Schweitzer indicated he may ask lawmakers to give the agency more enforcement tools. The governor said the increased collections come from a multiyear effort to find those not paying taxes, mostly nonresidents and out-of-state corporations. Schweitzer sa...

The Class A and Class AA golf seasons can officially begin regular...
I would like to address the recent GED recipients, who have achieved their first educational goal and have made their futures so much brighter.

Several of the people pictured in the Hi-Line Living section Friday, July 30, are eager students I worked with during that time. I was unable to attend the graduation ceremony, but I would like to add my congratulations to all of you. Many of you have persisted for countless...

The amount of money reported received and spent in local primary elections has been all over the map. Some candidates are reporting they received or spent no money. But in the hotly contested race for Hill County attorney, nearly $22,000 has been raised by the three candidates — much from their own pockets — and more than $20,000 has been spent. The reporting seems to have caused some confusion, with some candidates filing their reports only with the state Commissioner of Political Practices office in Helena, although the...
