  • Rate of huffing higher at HPS than at other schools

    and Havre Public Schools Hi-Line residents have all heard the public service announcements on the radio about "sniffing" and "huffing." But what is sniffing? What is huffing?

The store wasn't like that when owners Jack and Jane Rhodes moved to Rudyard in 1975. "It was, wow, what a store," Jane Rhodes said, describing groceries, toys, furniture, hardware and appliances filling the floor and...
