I was a member of the Lights football team from 2006-2009. I currently work as a teacher in Helena. I was greatly disappointed when learning that coach Mark Samson was no longer the football coach at Montana State University-Northern. Coach Samson brought countless student-athletes to Havre to play for the Lights, who including myself would not have attended Northern if it wasn't for Coach Samson allowing us to live our dreams to play college football. As a coach, I run into many former teammates who are now coaching and teac...
Another school year is just around the corner. Fall activities are beginning, teachers are busy getting rooms and materials ready, parents are getting back-to-school supplies, and students are excited and apprehensive about new classes and/or new teachers. There's an uneasiness, yet eagerness to get started. For students, it's the next step or school year seemingly huge in a young life.

The Great Northern Fair Board Monday discussed dealing with a proposed smaller budget. Fairgrounds manager Tim Solomon said he put in a request based on last year's budget, but the budget proposal was $90,000 smaller. Hill County Commissioner Jeff LaVoi said during the meeting that that number is misleading. The county tax revenue going in — just more than $5,000 — is the same, he said. “We did not cut the tax money that goes to the fair board,” he said during the meeting. “We were going to, wanted to, but we didn’t ju...

On a 3-2 vote, the Great Northern Fair Board Tuesday approved moving the Havre Jaycee Demolition Derby to Saturday, a spot the Northern Rodeo Association professional rodeo has held for the last two years.

That would bring more sales to other parts of the fair including increasing food booth sales, they said. The l...

Northern’s season-opener is Oct. 9 against Concordia of Alberta, and Oct. 16, the Lig...
