Havre Daily News January 2012
The following is an extended version of the article that ran in the Dec. 29 issue of the Havre Daily News, including more information we didn't have room for, an additional section that ran separately on Dec. 30 and supplemental materials.
Standing near the back of his corrugated steel workshop on a cold December morning on his family’s ranch, just outside the thick woods around the town of Landusky, Harold Heppner recalls his childhood in the Little Rockies, before the cyanide heap leach mines came and went, when there were still brooke trout in the streams coming down the mountains.

Left - Bad River Tribal Chairman Mike Wiggins says there can not be a mine if it potentially endangers the water, the watershed, the wild rice or any other treaty protected resources. Wiggins was told not to ask questions, like "who sponsored this Bill" during public hearings on the proposed roll back in administratrative regulations and environmental laws to allow a fast track Open Pit Mine, now called the "Mining Bill" or AB-426. Wiggins called on the state for some tribal-state consultation on the issue before any legislation was passed.

While the Wisconsin Senate held a hearing in Milwaukee about changes to the mining laws, tribal members of the Bad River Chippewa hosted a community-organizing meeting near Ashland, WI.
The “People of the Chequamegon Bay Concerned about Mining” meeting was held Dec. 14, in Odanah, WI, 330 miles north of Milwaukee. Changes to the State’s mining law would fast-track permits for out-of-state mining corporations to start operations in the Penokee Mountain range of northern Wisconsin.
Gogebic Taconite is one mining company that may benefit from less
restrictive mining regulations. However, citizens opposed to mining are
concerned about pollution from mining processes.
