    Derek Hann|Updated Jan 31, 2019

    LaFond State Farm has finished erecting a new building at 145 Fourth Ave. opening up new possibilities for business in the downtown area.

LaFond moved his agency to the location, formerly a car wash, from the business' previous location on the 300 Block of Third Street. LaFond said two other businesses are joining State Farm in...

  • Crunch time for Pony grapplers

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jan 31, 2019

    The Havre High wrestling team has one goal this weekend and it has nothing to do with winning the Eastern A Divisional championship.

So even though the Ponies are certainly hoping to come away with some team hardware from Miles City, where the meet is being hosted, their primary focus is to set themselves up at state. The tournament wil...

  • Letter to the Editor - Time to see truth at the meat counter

    Updated Jan 31, 2019

    To the editor: Where’s the beef … from? No one wants to be misled, but it is happening every day at your meat counter. “Product of USA” is now gracing your beef and pork labels, even though your beef and pork are quite possibly not from an American farmer or rancher. This loophole in the USDA process which allows this to happen has to stop. We can start reversing this process by correctly informing Montana consumers with accurate country-of-origin placards at grocery stores. In 2005 we banded together as Montanans to demand...
