The Montana State University-Northern defense did all it could in its season-opening game with the Dickinson State Blue Hawks Saturday night in Dickinson, N.D. But the DSU defense did even more. The Blue Hawks started Northern's Aaron Christensen era off with a 17-7 win over the Lights Saturday night. The loss sent MSU-N to a 0-1 start, and it was DSU's first win over Northern since August of 2013. The Lights were tied 7-7 with the Blue Hawks late in the second quarter after...

Slate online magazine’s recent edition has a feature on the need for more Native teachers. The article highlights almost exclusively the Hays-Lodge Pole district on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. The remote district in southern Blaine County has been through several troubles in recent years, but school officials told Slate that the number of Native teachers has increased from 38 percent in 1997 to 78 percent today. Slate quotes Aloha Shortman, a sixth-grade teacher, as saying she is more successful in making contact w...
The Havre city park known only as S-Curve park at the entrance to Montana State University-Northern is a popular place for people to rest and watch their kids play. College students walk through it all the time, said Nicholas Montagino, a home-schooled 10th-grader who live across the street from the park. While the city takes good care of the park, he said, it lacks several amenities that would enhance the fun people have there, said Montagino. So, he's made it his Eagle...
By Emily Mayer There is no doubt about it — 1915 was a very exciting year concerning the construction of buildings in Havre. Both the Hill County Democrat and Havre Plaindealer’s Aug. 21, 1915 papers had this news on the front page: HAVRE MASONS WILL ERECT FINE BUILDING A fitting monument to the order and a permanent ornament to the city of Havre will be the new Masonic temple, a four-story structure to be erected at the corner of Third avenue and Third Street this fall.

David Johnke, the high school band director, organizes the event every year to get the students back up to par for the school year. "It is a pretty intense week," Johnke said....
"At once the Holy Spirit sent Jesus out into the desert, and He was in the wilderness 40 days being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts and angels attended Him." - Mark 1:12–13 Out our way, life is not a bowl of cherries every day – but you still have to watch out for the pits. Sometimes it seems that's all there is and you wonder, "If there is a God, why is He allowing all this to happen to me?" Most folks know that Goliath and I have been through the ringer this pa...
Two weeks in a hot gym, practicing twice a day. Add in conditioning, weight lifting and everything else that comes with getting ready for a college volleyball season. It's certainly not easy. But the big payoff comes when the regular season starts and teams get to play against someone other than themselves. And that payoff happens today for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. Under seventh-year head coach Bill Huebsch, the Skylights embark on a new season today...
With the hiring of new head coach Aaron Christensen, the Montana State University-Northern football team has had a lot of new surrounding it the last eight-plus months. However, Christensen’s debut game as head coach is against somebody that’s anything but new to the Lights. After an offseason of conditioning, recruiting and spring drills, and a fast-paced fall camp that started just 15 days ago, the Christensen era officially begins Saturday night against an old foe when the...

But fast forward one year, and not only were there no thunderstorms for the annual meet, but there was a lot of really good golf played under ideal conditions. Good scores were especially the theme for the Havre High boys as the Blue Ponies rolled to the team title at the 2015 Havre High Golf Tournament held Thursday at Prairie Farms Golf Course. The Ponies easily toppled teams from...
