One week after the retail store closed, and one day after the Kmart Pharmacy closes, Health Mart Pharmacy at Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods will pick up the pharmacy accounts from Kmart. In a press release, Gary & Leo’s said all Kmart Pharmacy customers will have their records transferred to Gary & Leo’s Health Mart Tuesday.

It moved to its location at 3180 U.S. Highway 2 West in 1992 as a Big Kmart with a full pharm...
If you watch any television you can’t help seeing advertisements for and against I 185. It’s pretty confusing. I have decided to speak out against the initiate for several important reasons. Before explaining those I also want to affirm my view that we ought to be willing to help those who aren’t able to help themselves. Montanans have always been generous and caring about their neighbors. So why should we oppose this initiative? First, because it’s a self-serving proposal advanced by certain providers who want to bypass...

In the last four games against Frontier Conference...
The Havre High Cross Country Teams are in the closing stretch of their schedule and that stretch included the Helena 7-on-7 Preview Meet which took place last Thursday in Helena at the Bill Roberts Golf Course.

Yet, it didn’t discourage the majority of teams in the state from attending and even though no team scores...
