It could have exploded. Ben woke up and automatically reached for his phone. The auto reach; it is a generational thing. The phone was so hot it burned his hand. He jerked the plug from the phone and from the power strip. The power cord connection to the phone had melted into the phone. The cord itself was fried. He said, “I’ve never heard of this kind of problem.” Oh, man; Oh, crickets; Have to buy a new phone. Ben, of course, has one of those phones with which he does every...
Editor, Sen. Steve Daines seeks to create better public banking. Postal Banking would help Montanans gain better access to banking services. Federal law requires one post office per zip code, but this isn’t the same expectation for banks. U.S. Postal Service can already complete banking services like check cashing and money orders; this bill would allow them to offer bank accounts and even offer short-term, small dollar loans. Rep. Greg Gianforte wants to stop robocalls by requiring telecommunications companies to ...
It was just two weeks ago that the Montana State University-Northern Skylights suffered what was their worst loss of the Frontier Conference season - a double-digit setback at the hands of Carroll College.

And yet, the No. 18 Skylights got the last laugh Wednesday night in the Armory Gymnasi...

And that's exactly what Northern finally got Wednesday night in the Armory Gymnasium. Only this win wasn't any ordinary victory. No, Northern put on a devastating defensive performance in a 58-48 win over No. 9 Carroll College, and in the process, snapped a four-game Frontier Conference losing streak, a streak that dated all the way back to early December. "No d...
In the case of watching high school basketball in Havre, I've been very blessed over the years. Whether it was playing the game myself, being a student at Havre High, or being the sports editor at the Havre Daily News, I've had a front-row to seat to watching some great boys basketball players over the years. Included in that was, simply, a great three-year run when I was in high school. My sophomore year, 1991 to date myself, and yes, I am that old now, was the year of the...

There are many cases in sports where a player passes a torch to another. Sometimes it's from a veteran athlete to a rookie, while in other cases it may be from a parent to a child. That case comes to mind for Havre High senior Kadia Miller, a four-year player for the Havre High girls basketball team. Miller has been involved in hoops since the fifth grade and has made big strides since then. Her level of play has made a big impact for the Blue Ponies and Miller's career...
