Gianforte, the retired founder of RightNow Technologies, won the...
The Chinook Sugarbeeters dominated the District 9C in the regular season, sweeping through the conference undefeated. And this past week in Havre, the Beeters confirmed they were the best the 9C had to offer after an impressive run to the district championship. Chinook started its journey with a win over Big Sandy, followed by a win in the semifinals against Fort Benton. Then, Friday night inside the HHS gymnasium, the Beeters completed the run with a hard-fought, 62-56 win...

Partisanship has taken hold of our political lives from Washington to right here in Northwest Montana. Despite all the political ill will, there appears to be one issue that Republicans and Democrats can agree on — promoting local economic growth through our nation’s community banks. At a time of political polarization, it was encouraging to learn that the Senate Banking Committee recently accomplished something rare: passing a bill developed by Republicans and Democrats on a bipartisan basis. Designed to tailor fin...
A federal budget reflects our values and vision for America. President Trump’s FY19 budget, released last Monday, abandons our long-held values of caring for our neighbors, helping people during hard times, and the belief that no one in this country should go hungry. Instead, the budget presents a vision in which struggling families face more and more obstacles just to get by, weakening the very programs that provide stability and opportunity in our communities. The proposals included in the president’s budget would dra...
Clearly, building the wall on our southern border is high on President Trump’s agenda, and it should be. There has been a lot of controversy and political rhetoric over expense, feasibility, etc. Often the rhetoric turns to marginalizing the President and his supporters as xenophobes, racists, or worse. Whether the wall is meant to be a real, physical barrier or a combination of electronic tools and boots on the ground, border security is of paramount importance to the continuation of the United States of America as we k...
Washington, D.C., is broken. Our representatives choose time and again to bend to the interests of lobbyists and corporate donors at our expense. I have spent my entire career as a consumer protection advocate, fighting for people who have been bullied and harmed by big banks and powerful corporations. I am running for U.S. House of Representatives to fight for all Montanans the same way that I have fought for my clients. Shortly after I announced my campaign, 58 innocent concertgoers were murdered in Las Vegas. Hundreds...
When I was elected to Congress, the people of Montana sent a clear message: they wanted more jobs and less government. But the bloated budget deal passed by Congress last week is the very definition of more government. As Montana’s voice in the U.S. Senate, I’ve been fighting for positive reforms that rein in Washington’s out-of-control spending and regulations that threaten more jobs and bigger paychecks for Montanans. And we’ve had success — in the past year alone, Congress has cut red tape, put qualified judges on the be...

During the District 9C regular season, Fort Benton and Hays-Lodge Pole proved to be evenly matched. But Friday night in the 9C consolation game, the Longhorns ran away from the Thunderbirds and punched their ticket to the Northern C Divisional. After losing to Chinook in the semifinals Thursday, Fort Benton needed to win two games Friday in Havre at the HHS gymnasium. The second win came in the consolation over HLP, by a final score of 68-52. "The boys put in a ton of hard...
The Turner girls basketball team has been building something special the past few seasons and the District 9C consolation game Saturday night at the HHS gymnasium, was the culmination of it. Turner was looking to clinch its first berth at divisionals in 21 years, but it wouldn't come easy as the third-place game in the girls tournament went down to the last second, literally. But after two missed free throws and another missed shot at the buzzer by CJI, the Tornadoes won...
Aspen Giese knew that the District 9C girls championship game between Fort Benton and Box Elder might come down to a last-second shot. She also knew, that if it did, she wanted to be the one to take it. Even if she had to wait until overtime. It took an offensive rebound for Giese to get the shot that she wanted, but with her team down by one to Box Elder, she got the ball up and into the basket, before time expired. The bucket gave the Longhorns a 62-61 win over Box Elder,...
Every year, the goal at the regional tournament is the same. Sure, the Montana State University-Northern Lights always want to win championships and team titles, but the biggest goal is to make sure they punch as many tickets to the NAIA national tournament as they possibly can. Longtime head coach Tyson Thivierge’s team accomplished that goal Saturday in Ashland, Oregon. Northern qualified eight wrestlers for next month’s national tournament, and on the strength of four fin...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights played great defense against the No. 11 team in the NAIA Friday night. Unfortunately Carroll College's defense was even better. The Fighting Saints, who are alone in first place in the Frontier Conference, held the Skylights to just 30 percent shooting and 17 percent from the 3-point-line in a 47-40 win inside the Armory Gymnasium. Northern was nearly as good defensively. Carroll shot just 37 percent from the floor and made only...
Who says it's hard to beat a team three times in one season? Not the Montana State University-Northern Lights. In a hard-fought Saturday night game inside the Armory Gymnasium the Lights beat Rocky Mountain College for the third time this season. Northern got a big shot from Adam Huse with under two minutes to go, and a massive 3-pointer by Devin Bray, lifting the Lights to a 70-66 win. "Those were two huge shots," MSU-N head coach Shawn Huse said. "Adam played a really...
