    Mark Samson is a sound football coach and a man of great integrity, a man who always gets along with his players. I can say this because he coached for me when we were winning Frontier Conference championships at Carroll College. In my opinion, he was treated unfairly by the chancellor and athletic director in this matter. Who does the chancellor answer to? How can he force the resignation of so many people at Northern? As an old coach, I feel it is my responsibility to let the fans of Northern football know what has...

    Montana Fish Wildlife and Park's proposed Wolf Stamp hearing on Aug. 14 was well attended. No matter the stamp name, all wildlife will benefit from education, habitat acquisition, increased game wardens and nonlethal measures to address conflicts with livestock and wildlife. As FWP thinks outside the box for funding and innovations, the cost of administering Montana's trapping program exceeds the revenue generated. Unlike guns, archery and fishing equipment, there is no excise tax on traps. While FWP proposes increasing the...

  • Our View: Klan should crawl back under their rocks

    Leaflets extolling the virtues of the United Klans of America landed on front lawns — and, in some cases, appropriately in the gutters — throughout Havre this weekend. “You can sleep well tonight knowing the UKA is awake,” the leaflet assures us. Excuse us, but we think some people lost sleep in Havre this weekend because the UKA is around here. As discouraging as the Klan leaflets are, the reaction of the Havre community has been very encouraging. People took to social media this weekend, and there was nearly...

    One day after a hearing in which Shad Huston withdrew his offer to change his plea in a Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation embezzlement case, he signed a plea agreement offering to plead guilty to theft from an Indian tribal organization. Thursday morning, before two others were sentenced in related plea agreements, Huston’s attorney, Michael Sherwood of Missoula, said his client had been unable to come to an agreement with the government and was not going to change his plea. U.S. District Judge Brian Morris set Huston’s...

    Toni The Boy walked on to her front lawn on Havre's east side Saturday to find what she thought was a piece of trash - a plastic ziplock bag with a paper inside. She threw it out. Then she found a second and third plastic baggie with a paper and a small stone so it wouldn't blow away. She opened it up and was horrified at what she saw. The paper had a large insignia of The United Klans of America. "Neighborhood Watch. You can sleep well tonight knowing the UKA is awake," it...

The scrimmage was controlled and featured the offense playing against the defense in live action and a number of simulated situations.
