  • In Trump World - The responsibility of just saying 'No'

    Updated Feb 6, 2017

    The first several days of the Donald Trump administration caused me great worry. Not about the substance of his presidency, but about its form; not about the product, but about the process. Based on his first week it looks like the worst instincts of President Trump may be erupting to the surface and there appears to be no one around him who can stop the Mount Trump eruptions. It seems that the President has surrounded himself with enablers, not counselors. That became even clearer when the President started signing...

    Alex Ross|Updated Feb 6, 2017

    Havre City Council President Andrew Brekke came to the defense of fellow Council member Brian Barrows Friday for voting against a proclamation denouncing anti-Semitic activity in Whitefish. Brekke made the comments Friday at the meeting of the Pachyderm Club in the Vineyard Room of the Duck Inn.

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 6, 2017

    If there's one gym that hasn't been too kind to the Montana State University-Northern Lights in recent years, Stroh Gymnasium in Dillon would be the one.
