Some voters in the Havre Public school elementary school district got ballots in the mail this week. Others will be going to the polls May 3. On the ballot is a proposal to increase the mill levy by about $10.51 for a home assessed at $100,000.

We pay a lot in taxes for the school system, but we get an awful lot in return. The schools are a focal point in our c...

The heavy rains last week wreaked havoc on sports in the Havre area and not even the Montana State University-Northern football team was immune. The Lights, who were scheduled to practice Friday, had to postpone their workout because the rain soaked the MSU-N practice field. “The field was basically covered in puddles,” Northern head coach Aaron Christensen said. “So we ended up having to cancel that practice, but we are going to make it up this week on Wednesday.” That means...
