HELENA — The U.S. Army War College revoked Democratic Sen. John Walsh's master's degree after an investigation completed Friday concluded he plagiarized a research paper required to graduate, a college spokeswoman said. The Carlisle, Pennsylvania, college assigned an academic review board to the probe in August after The New York Times published a story showing Walsh borrowed heavily from other sources for the paper he wrote in 2007. Walsh was pursuing a Master of Strategic Studies degree at age 47, a year before he became M... Full story

Randy Bachmeier, dean of extended studies at Montana State University-Northern, is asking for $250,000 in damages because he says his life was made a "living hell" because of sexual harassment by then-Provost Rosalyn Templeton. But Northern’s attorney, Vivian Hammill, insists that Bachmeier was not harassed, that he suffered no adverse employment action, that he is at fault for not utilizing the internal procedure at the university that deals with sexual harassment in the workplace and that MSU-Northern did not take any a...

The Chinook football program is starting to build a great tradition of runners. It started a few years ago with Tyler Molyneaux, and continued with Ben Stroh. Last season, Zach Molyneaux put up huge numbers and now, in 2014, the great runner for the Sugarbeeters is Gavin Gunderson. Gunderson knew that he had some big shoes to fill and a tradition of great runners to live up to when he took over as the Beeters' starting running back this season, and through five games he has mo...

The Chippewa Cree Tribe of Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation is getting some extra help recovering from flooding earlier in the decade, as new flooding is bringing the federal government back to the region to look at damage from a storm in August. U.S. Housing and Urban Development announced the Chippewa Cree Tribe was one of the recipients of its Indian Community Development Block Grant Program awards this year to improve housing in Indian Country. That occurred as President Barack Obama Thursday declared a disaster in s... Full story
Emily Mayer This week, we take a look at the Oct. 9, 1914, issue of The Box Elder Valley Press for this 40th installment celebrating the 150th anniversary of Montana Territory and the 125th anniversary of statehood. News of World War I and the women’s suffrage campaign were in this issue, as well as a column from “The Tattler.” These columns tend to shake a finger at what this person perceives as bad behavior and praises good behavior. I don’t know who “The Tattler” is, but here is his or her column in this week’s pape... Full story
Editor: I am writing about the crazy things this mayor is doing to our town. First the water bill rates are raised $5, and then he's going to raise the property taxes. Why didn't he check and see if most of the people can afford it? Most of the taxpayers are on pensions and can't afford it? We didn't get a raise in our pensions for four years. The people in Washington did this. He thinks it's good, but why is he holding two jobs when some people can't find a job? Let's get a better person in there for mayor. Loretta... Full story
Laurel Havre firefighters are leading the way in celebrating Fire Prevention Week. Tours of the fire station have been given to visitors and special programs have been held for youngsters. The number of fires and the number of fatal fires has gone way down over the years. Part of the reason is stricter building codes, better preparedness on the part of firefighters and the courageous activities of the professionals who fight fires. But part of the reason is an increased public awareness about what causes fires, how to prevent... Full story
One of the hardest things to do is to say exactly what you mean in a way that people understand exactly what you mean. No one knows that better today than the good-intentioned people at New Jersey’s Moorestown Township Library. They tried to say exactly what they meant, only they said it in Latin, which was their first mistake. Latin is, of course, a dead language, and the dead don’t say much of anything useful. Maybe they can with a ouija board or through a spangled gypsy woman reading a crystal ball. But I wouldn't cou... Full story
Frontier conference play has been an uphill struggle for the Montana State University-Northern football team this season. But after a week off to get healthy and refreshed, the Lights should have some pep in their step. Fresh off a second consecutive home loss, Northern (0-4, 1-4) will hit the road this week to take on the College of Idaho (2-2, 3-2), which has played much better in its debut season in the Frontier than anticipated. The Yotes, who reside in Caldwell, Idaho,...
The 2014 season has been a bit of a struggle for the Havre High volleyball team. But, the great thing about high school sports is that it’s not how you start the season, it’s how you finish that matters. The Ponies have played a brutal schedule and are currently just 2-11 but as they get set to face Conrad in a nonconference road game tonight in Conrad, HHS is hoping its finally turned a corner with the end of the season coming quickly. The Ponies will also be looking to rev...
The number one goal for the Havre High football team at the start of the season was to win the Central A conference championship. That goal took a hit last Friday night when the Blue Ponies lost at home to the powerful Belgrade Panthers. But, the season is far from over, and Havre still has their sights set on the goals the Ponies set out to achieve back in August, and that includes getting back to the Class A playoffs. And to do that for sure, a win over archrival Lewistown... Full story
The Glacier Nationals got their first win of the season, and their first-ever win as a Havre franchise last Saturday night when they beat the Yellowstone Quake in a shootout. Now, the Nationals are ready to put together a winning streak. In what will be their final home game until November, the Nationals (1-4-0) will take on the Billings Bulls Friday night at the Havre Ice Dome. The puck drops on the Frontier Division game at 8 p.m. Glacier is riding high following last...
The Montana State University-Northern wrestling program is all about tradition. And one of the longest and best traditions of the wrestling program is the annual Alumni Dual. Every season before getting into their regular schedule, the Lights take on the Alumni team, which is filled with former MSU-Northern wrestling greats. And Saturday, this long-running tradition will go on for another year when the 2014 Alumni Dual takes place inside the Armory Gymnasium. "It's one of the...
The start was sluggish for the Montana State University-Northern Lights in their season opener, but eventually, they played the kind of basketball you would expect to see from a team with aspirations of qualifying for the NAIA national basketball tournament come March. In a nonconference matchup against the University of Concordia of Canada, the Lights used a 25-4 run in the first half to take control of the game, then cruised to an easy 103-56 win inside the Armory Gymnasium...

Out our way, common sense - horse sense - is indeed pretty common. As most of you know, I am working on a degree from the Horse Sense Theological Seminary here in Havre and was talking to Professor "Old Doc" Goliath. As I was taking a refresher course on Horse Loading 101, I was reminded of a basic principle in applied physics: "No two items can occupy the same space at the same time." In other words, if the trailer is full of junk, I must remove said "junque" before loading... Full story
