Havre police say people should be wary if they get a phone call from someone claiming to be an agent for the Internal Revenue Service.

They are told to pay the taxes via a wire transfer or a pre-loaded debit card. “This is a scam and should be disregarded as a legitimate call from the IRS,” Barkus said. The IRS told police they nev...

Po-tay-doh. Po-tah-to. I wear clothes for a few months past the point where they are fit only for the rag bag. And notice that I make them into rags, not just throw them away. I purchase used vehicles and drive them until they die of old a...

Pluto is an icy rock about a fifth the size of Earth. We called it a planet until 2006, but now we say it's a dwarf planet.
