WASHINGTON — The long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline cleared a major hurdle toward approval Friday, a serious blow to environmentalists' hopes that President Barack Obama will block the controversial project running more than 1,000 miles from Canada through the heart of the U.S. The State Department reported no major environmental objections to the proposed $7 billion pipeline, which has become a symbol of the political debate over climate change. Republicans and some oil- and gas-producing states in the U.S. — as well as...

The recent ruling by the Montana Supreme Court upholding our state’s stream access law and the ability of everyone to get to streams from county roads is a victory of all Montanans and all who enjoy our public waters. It also illustrates the stark difference of views about who should get to enjoy public land and water. The case, Public Access v. Madison County, challenged a landowner’s ability to block off access to the Ruby River at three bridges used by the public for decades. James Cox Kennedy, a Ruby Valley landowner and...
All of us see the world through the prism of our own experience. As I look back through that prism, I can still see, hanging on my parents’ hallway wall, three pictures — Jesus Christ, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers Union. These men, these giants, informed my family’s political and life perspective, and mine as well. The values of those three giants led me to a life of political and community activity based upon a belief that the backbone of America is the people — the wor...
I hate to sound all hard-core, fundamentalist, evangelical religious, but it just may be true that music is the instrument of the devil. And if that’s the case, the music website Pandora.com is the devil’s stomping grounds, and the earworm — aka the song stuck in your head — is his irritating little minion. For someone like me who really enjoys music but is not an avid-enough lover of music to keep up on new artists and to actually spend money to buy music, Pandora is an amazi...
Laurel — A new emergency generator at Havre High School is up and ready to run when needed. The generator will keep power running during a crisis. There have been several emergencies in recent years. Twice, a giant swath of the Hi-Line was left without power when NorthWestern Energy’s system failed. Other times, there have been more localized problems. The disaster in the South this week has shown the need for emergency planning. There is a need for more emergency generators. Other schools need help and many public bui...
As a precaution, I ran my Part 5 of Northern’s Beginnings past a retired Northern professor, who found an error in the previous segment. He discovered I hadn’t spelled President Brockman’s first name correctly, and he asked why I hadn’t mentioned the Math-Science building. So I approached managing editor John Kelleher about correcting my error. Actually there were two, the other being the omission of the Physical Plant Building. Of course, he grumbled something about “this isn’t a book, you know.” But he consented if it was s...
In 1874, Methodist minister, John Heyl Vincent and businessman Lewis Miller founded the Circuit Chautauqua, pronounced "shuh-TAW-kwa," in western New York state. It was held at Chautauqua Lake and was first designed for the study of the Bible, Sunday school methods and Sunday school teachers. Eventually, culture and entertainment was added. The program comprised religious presentations, plays, lectures and musical performers such as soloists, opera singers, orchestras, bands,...
There was quite a bit of news this week in 1914. Information for this article, the fourth in this series, comes from The Havre Plaindealer's Jan. 31, 1914 issue, exactly 100 years ago today. County officers throughout the state were meeting in Lewistown, and there was a lengthy article about that event. Two more lengthy articles appeared, one pleading "More Support Needed For the Success of School Athletics," and the other was the proceedings at the latest City Council...

Havre Middle School has been equipped with cameras at the front entrance of the building to better keep track of who is attempting to enter the school after the school day has begun. “It’s honestly something we’ve been looking at for some time,” said Havre Public Schools Superintendent Andy Carlson. The middle school has had cameras for years — since he started working for the school district, Carlson said. The new cameras are simply adding to the already-exceptional security system at the school. The middle school will be ca...
The Great Falls High Bison are big, strong, and physical, and with just one loss against them this season they are obviously also difficult to defeat. The No. 5-ranked Havre High girls ran into that stout Bison squad Thursday night at the Havre High gymnasium. The Bison completed the season sweep over the Central A Blue Ponies with a 59-47 win in nonconference action. The loss dropped the Ponies’ overall record to a still impressive 9-4. “They (Bison) are going to make us bet...

The Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball program has always been good at shooting free throws under head coach Chris Mouat. And that consistency from the charity stripe paid huge dividends in MSU-N’s most recent rivalry game with the University of Great Falls Argos.

When the Frontier Conference men’s basketball schedule came out last summer, Montana State University-Northern head coach Shawn Huse knew playing back-to-back games against the University of Great Falls was going to be a tremendous challenge. But even a wily veteran of the Frontier like Huse couldn’t have predicted what would transpire between the Lights and Argos over the course of the last six days. Last Friday night in Havre, Northern knocked off UGF 54-50 in a tight affair...
