A meeting of the Havre City Council's Finance Committee Monday night to review the final written purchase proposals for the Heritage Center ended with more questions than answers. One of those is whether the city will have to pay back all of the $150,000 it used to purchase and renovate the building if it sells it to a private party. Craig Erickson of Bear Paw Development Corp. said that now appears to be the case. However, he doesn't have a final answer from state and federal officials. On June 21 the council voted to sell...

A forensic expert hired by attorneys for the man accused of fatally shooting a Blaine County Sheriff's deputy last year said physical evidence suggests the deputy was actually shot by another law enforcement officer, according to documents filed in state District Court. In another development in the case of Lawrence Dean Jackson Jr., a judge rejected arguments by Jackson's attorneys that Montana's death penalty is unconstitutional, meaning prosecutors can continue to seek Jackson's execution if he is convicted. Jackson, 26, i...
Nate Newell, a 1999 graduate of Havre High School, has been cast in the lead role of an upcoming play at one of Pennsylvania's oldest continuously performing community theaters.

BIG SANDY - In the banquet room of a bar in Big Sandy is a 16-foot plaque bearing the names of more than 800 people. Painted beside 22 of the names are white crosses. Each name is that of a Big Sandy resident who served in the military, from World War I through Vietnam, and the 22 crosses represent those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The plaque, which consists of two 4-by-8 wooden panels, has adorned the wall of the Mint Bar for the last two years. It is there thanks to the hard work of a woman who spent more than four...
The use of spit - so-called "smokeless" - tobacco products by high school age youth in Montana and in the Havre community has steadily declined in recent years. This is certainly welcome news. However, according to studies by the National Cancer Institute and state and local agencies, spit tobacco use in Montana remains at a significantly higher rate than the national averages. The percentage of high school kids across the county who have reported using spit tobacco is about 15 percent. In Montana, the number is about 25...
An old friend of mine, a native of Billings, once observed, correctly, that everything goes better with bacon. (Check out the potato salad at the bar in Gildford if you need more proof.) The same also could be said about gravy. Good gravy adds warmth and substance. It's the bonus on top of a large mound of great or even not-so-great mashed potatoes. There's something to be said for a people who routinely put gravy on their french fries. You know who I'm talking about - our neighbors north of the border. These are people who...
