  • Company tears off wrong roof

    John Kelleher|Updated Aug 13, 2015

    Krissa Kirby was in for a big surprise when she arrived at her home on the 800 Block of 6th Ave. after work Tuesday afternoon. The roofing of her home was torn off, the lawn was strewn with roof material and marks were left on her lawn and her freshly painted deck. That was odd because her roof on her home - unlike others in the area - sustained no damage in the July 4 hail and wind storm. She knew nothing of people repairing her roof. She called Havre police, who soon...

  • Comunity Focus: Wilderness bill won't put out wildfires

    Rep. Ryan Zinke|Updated Aug 13, 2015

    Right now, there are nine active wildfires in Montana, burning thousands of acres of our cherished national parks, forests and grasslands. Hundreds of thousands of acres in California are burning too. This is in part because of the dry and hot weather we’ve had, but even more so due to decades of poor management of our federal forests. The evidence? One need look no farther than one of the first fires of the season, the Glacier Rim Fire which quickly burned about 100 acres of dead timber and thick regrowth brush in the s...

  • Looking out my back door: Misadventures of a Montana woman, some legendary, some 'phone-y'

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Aug 13, 2015

    Oh, dear, my troubles began with air travel. I managed to get me and my bionic parts through security in Mazatlan and through both customs and security in Dallas/Ft. Worth. To me, that is a big deal. The Dallas airport is the size of three European countries. Paste a gold star on my forehead. I even hustled through three gate changes in half an hour, which I count heroic. Let me set the scene. Due to age and recent surgery, I get to pre-board. I travel with a walking stick,...
