HELENA (AP) — Gov. Steve Bullock is proposing a $37 million early childhood education program that would make half-day, pre-kindergarten programs available to 4-year-olds. Bullock was in Billings Monday to talk about Early Edge Montana. Under the voluntary program, block grants would be available to public schools to create or expand early childhood education programs or to partner with existing programs in their communities. Montana is one of eight states without any state investment in preschool programs. Studies suggest s...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights and the Havre Blue Ponies have success in common. And the success of one program will eventually benefit another. Over the weekend, MSU-Northern head coach Tyson Thivierge announced the signing of Havre High senior Jace Billy to an NAIA national letter of intent. Billy is a Class A state champion, and has been a staple of the Havre wrestling scene for years, and he’ll get to continue that with the Lights. “I’m very thankful for t...
In a tremendous exhibition of tradition, pride and quality wrestling, the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team kicked off the 2014-15 season with the annual Alumni Dual.

Despite the loss, the Lights performed better than expected and won six of the 14 matches. There was one draw. They also performed much better than a season ago...
The Havre High volleyball team knew it has been getting better. But with just two wins on the season, it was looking for validation with actual victories, not just moral ones. This weekend, they won their second straight match, proving that the Blue Ponies hard work is starting to pay off. In a rematch of a defeat earlier this season, the Ponies exacted some revenge on the Conrad Cowgirls Saturday night in Conrad, earning the victory by the scores of 22-25, 23-25, 25-19,...
In the final preparation for the Central A Divisional, and the Class A State meet, the Havre High cross country teams participated in Helena Preview Meet to get one final look at the competition before the season’s stretch run. The preview meet, which took place at the Bill Roberts Golf Course in Helena last Thursday, was held at the same location as the state meet, which will be run Oct. 25. It also had a bit of different format with each varsity runner racing one at a time a...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights thought they were about to complete a comeback for the ages. And win their first Frontier Conference football game of the 2014 season in the process. But College of Idaho’s Josh Lopez had other ideas. On the final play of Saturday’s first-ever meeting between the Lights and Yotes, Lopez stopped MSU-N’s Nick Luoma one yard short of the goal line as he tried to score the game-winning touchdown for the Lights. The defensive stand...
The Havre community and Montana State University-Northern have been closely linked since long before the college opened its doors, said Havre resident Lynn Hamilton. “Havre is dependent on Northern, and Northern is dependent on Havre,” said Havre businesswoman Renelle Braaten. But a lot of people in Havre haven’t been to Northern in years, they agree. “Sometimes Northern is its little village up there," Braaten said. So the two joined with several friends to organize a community appreciation barbecue on campus, noon to 4 p....

Glacier played the first of back-to-back games at home Friday night inside the Havre Ice Dome and were narrowly defeated by the Billings Bulls by a score of 5-3....
