Clint Willis missed a lot of time last season due to an injury, and he didn't like it one bit. No the Lights' mountain of a man who plays left tackle isn't happy sitting on the sidelines. However, missing football is part of the incredible story about how the massive 6-7, 300-pound senior from Gardiner, Montana came to be a Light in the first place. Willis, who said he's always been tall, is now a four-year starter for the Lights, but, his path to Northern wasn't the...

There is always something special about rivalry games and when it comes to the Havre High football team, no rivalry means more than Lewistown. And tonight, the two schools will renew their rivalry as the Blue Ponies head to Lewistown for a critical showdown within the Eastern A Conference. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. "It's a good rivalry game," HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. "I didn't quite understand the complexity of the rivalry when I first became the head coach, but after...
Last week, Montana State University-Northern head coach Andrew Rolin got his first taste of being the Lights head coach. Saturday, he will get his first taste of Frontier Conference football. Last weekend, in Rolin's debut, the Lights dominated Mayville State, beating the Comets 49-20 and while 1-0 sounds good, getting to a 2-0 will be a much more difficult task as Northern welcomes 20th-ranked Rocky Mountain College into Blue Pony Stadium Saturday. The scheduled start time is...
Dear editor, In a few weeks, 2018’s Festival Days will be here, and early information indicates another fun, exciting and excellently planned weekend will occur. I tip my old baseball cap to Jody and Julea at the Chamber office for their work and to the committees, organizations and individuals who will contribute to a memorable event. It’s indeed a challenge to hit everything on the schedule; to miss anything would be a shame. I would like to encourage all Festival-goers to make a visit to the Railroad Museum and, of cou...
I don’t like writing about the craft of writing, the process of writing, for a variety of reasons — top among them being that I don’t want to make myself look stupid as I pretend to know what I’m doing here. We’ve all been around those people who read the Reader’s Digest condensed version of an article on nuclear physics and then they hit the lecture circuit of all the dinner parties and casual gatherings of friends and family, expounding on the virtue of nuclear-wha...
By Emily Mayer Havre sent another contingent of draftees to Camp Lewis to train to go fight the Great War this week 100 years ago. A lengthy article in the Aug. 31, 1918 edition of The Havre Plaindealer outlines the send off for 30 more young men. Several hundred citizens witnessed the parade starting at the Hill County Courthouse, led by the local Spanish American War veterans accompanied by the Havre Band, and marching up Third Avenue to the corner of First Street for speeches. Judge W. B. Pyper presided over the event and...

You know, Lord, the first day of school has arrived. But where has the summer gone? We surely didn’t get everything done that we had planned to do this summer … not yet, anyway. Then once in school, how can we put our minds to the task of studying when it is such lovely weather just outside the walls? But school is school, so we need to be brave and face some challenges and have some good times, too. School can be exciting but also a little scary. Oh! The building is so big! Now where’s room 104? And look at all these kids,...
A 19th century Lutheran pastor by the name of Theodore Emmanuel Schmauk once wrote, “The Lutheran Church is bound to apply the grace of God to her members from the cradle to the grave.” At St. Paul and Zion the time of year has come when Sunday school, confirmation, and adult Bible study begin anew. In addition to our weekly Divine Service, each of the aforementioned classes aid in what can be called the Culture of Catechesis. From the earliest part of a Christian’s life and up to the time that he dies, instruction in the C...
Labor Day weekend! Everybody loves a long weekend and the chance to spend an extra day doing whatever they enjoy. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s website, the first Labor Day was celebrated nationally in September 1882. That means for 135 years our society has taken a day to honor our hard-working people with a day of much needed rest and recreation. The Bible gives instruction about balancing working hard and resting well. The Bible is clear: we need to work hard. Colossians 3:23-24 says, “23 Whatever you do,...
Out our way, you meet some unlikely folks pushing cows — and the most unlikely of them all was yours truly. A mediocre rider at best, even with gentle ole Doc, I managed to get bucked off — or was it I fell off? — with alarming regularity. “But that’s how you learn,” my saddle pard, Charlie, told me. Kids raised on horseback learn early and get their bumps and bruises while young and supple. Old guys who start riding after 60 are a different matter. Learning for us is a harder process — and who wants such greenhorns wo...

Just a couple of years ago, the Chinook football team was dominant in Class C 8-Man football, playing in back-to-back state championship games and winning the state title back in 2015, a title which capped an undefeated season. Since then, times have been tough for the Sugarbeeters. After losing a ton of seniors following the 2015 state championship, the Beeters struggled to a 2-7 finish in 2016 and followed that up with a 4-4 mark a season ago. Part of the issue with the...
