Staff and wire report President Barack Obama rejected an application to build the Keystone XL pipeline Friday after seven years of federal review, declaring the proposed project wouldn't serve U.S. national interests and would have undercut America's global leadership on climate change. The 1,179-mile proposed pipeline would not have lowered U.S. gas prices, Obama said, nor would it have contributed to U.S. jobs long-term or make the U.S. less dependent on foreign energy. Flanked by Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of...

All across the U.S. last weekend people were celebrating Halloween and mourning the start of Christmas advertising season. Poor, simple fools. One thing and one thing only mattered: the end of daylight saving time signaling the start of flashlight season. The long cold months of double darkness when both morning and evening chores are completed without aid of sunlight. Daylight saving time changed to battery spending time, if you will. For weeks now I have had to use a...

When Jesus returned to the city of Capernaum, the news about the signs and wonders he had performed had spread and so many people came to him that even the doorway was blocked by the crowds. Now while Jesus was speaking to the multitude, four men came carrying their paralyzed friend in the hopes that Jesus would heal him. But the crowd was so great and no one would move so they couldn't get inside. So they went up the outside stairs of the house to the roof and began removing...
It's been a difficult week for both the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats. And both teams will be happy just to get back on the football field this Saturday. However, it is a question as to what kind of team each will be when they do play. The No. 23 Grizzlies (3-2, 4-4) once again find themselves broiled in controversy heading into Saturday's road game at lowly Idaho State. Montana is coming off a devastating road loss at Portland State last week, and if that weren'...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights are nearing the end of a long, difficult season. But even with the end in sight, there’s still time for the Lights to make a little noise. And Saturday night in Dillon, the Lights can make plenty of noise because a win at nationally ranked UM-Western would spoil any chance the Bulldogs have of winning the Frontier Conference championship. Northern (0-8, 0-9) faces the No. 13 Bulldogs (6-2, 6-2) at 6 p.m. Saturday at Vigilante F...
Last week, Chinook, Chester/J-I and Box Elder all cruised to easy wins in the opening round of the Class C 8-Man and Six-Man playoffs. This week however, all three teams face new foes and much greater challenges.

The Glacier Nationals have had a rough go of it recently with four-straight losses. And once again, they are on the road this week, hoping a change of scenery brings about a change in fortune. Yet, the schedule does Glacier no favors this week as the Nationals had to travel all the way to Cody, Wyoming, for tonight's game against the Yellowstone Quake, which is the first of back-to-back games in Frontier Division play. Tonight's game and Saturday night's game will both begin...
Once upon a time, the Montana State University-Northern and Dickinson State University basketball programs were bitter non-conference rivals. Then, for two years, the Blue Hawks were conference rivals. Now, the rivalry will be renewed in non-conference fashion as the Skylights and Lights play host to the Blue Hawks in a Saturday afternoon doubleheader at the Armory Gymnasium. First up is a matchup between the No. 6-ranked and unbeaten Skylights (4-0), and a Blue Hawk team...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights fought hard in a loss at Montana Tech Thursday night, but it won’t be long before the Skylights get one last chance to make amends.

It will be the last home match for both Wilcox, a native of Las Vegas, and J...
At the start of the season, the Havre High volleyball team had a goal of making it to the Class A state tournament.

The...
The Havre High football team has been waiting for a chance like this. The chance to host a playoff game in which the winner will head to the state semifinals. It’s been four years, but the wait is finally over. Of course, the Blue Ponies did have to wait a week longer than the majority of teams in the Class A football playoffs after earning the first-round bye that accompanied Havre’s first Central A title since 2011. But after being off last week, the Ponies (7-2) are geared...
