Jakob Keller has never been a big fan of running. And even after four years of running for the Havre High cross country team, he still doesn’t love running, he does, however, love cross country. “I don’t like running,” Keller said, “but I like running with my teammates, and it’s something to do.” Keller, a senior, is coming up on the final two weeks of his high school cross country career, as the Blue Ponies get set to host the Fall Classic this Saturday at Beaver Creek...
Independent candidate for House District 28 Bob Sivertsen is running against Rep. Jacob Bachmeier, D-Havre, and Libertarian candidate Conor Burns for a seat in the Legislature. "I don't care about politics," Sivertsen said, "all I care about are the issues and I've always done my background work on issues so that I knew what was going on, and I think that's what's really key."

The Havre School board in its monthly meeting Tuesday at Havre Middle School approved taking bids to add another project at Havre High School. Superintendent Andy Carlson offered a proposal to get a bid on renovations to science classrooms at Havre High. Carlson said he is projecting a total cost of $1.3 million, which includes the bathroom renovations that are presently underway. Carlson said since construction is already scheduled at Havre High it would make sense to have the company that is tasked with the current...

It’s important to know where Montana tax dollars are going, especially when you’re asked to vote to raise taxes. Ballot Initiative 185 would raise tax revenues in Montana by $74 million per year. How that money is distributed, though, is even more problematic than the alarming price tag. I 185 would bypass the Legislature to make the Medicaid Expansion program permanent. This expansion program, keep in mind, is different from Medicare and traditional Medicaid. Medicare provides health insurance for adults 65 years and old...
As $12 million of misleading negative ads roll out over Montana’s airwaves, we could be watching the health care of 100,000 Montanans go up in smoke. Big Tobacco is trying to buy Montana in a cynical, immoral attempt to bolster their market and profits to the detriment of Montana families. Health care for 100,000 Montanans is on the ballot. The Healthy Montana initiative, I 185, retains health care for 100,000 who likely include someone in your family or a friend, a co-worker or a neighbor — someone with cancer or a chi...
Montana has not raised the state tobacco tax in 13 years because big, out-of-state tobacco corporations have spent millions lobbying politicians to vote no in an effort to protect their profits at our expense. I am a fourth-generation Montanan. I think it is outrageous that Big Tobacco has poured more than $12 million into our state in an attempt to deceive voters this November. When you see the “no on I 185” ads and signs in our community, know that the activity is paid for by multinational tobacco corporations that off...
