SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court that meets in San Francisco and other Western cities will soon stream some of its hearings live over the Internet, the court announced on Monday.

Hill and Blaine county officials said this morning that they want to quell comments by a Ravalli County official from some 300 miles away, and called the Havre Daily News to task for running the articles with the comments without confirming them. The Havre Daily News ran stories from The Associated Press based on Ravalli Republic story reporting that Ravalli County Planning Commission President Jan Wisniewski said he “had a conversation with law enforcement officials in Havre who complained about their jails being filled w...
There’s no mistaking the fact that the Carroll College Fighting Saints were a thorn in the Montana State University-Northern Skylights’ side a year ago. But after suffering three losses at the hands of the Saints last season, the Skylights pulled the thorn out in their Frontier Conference opener. Northern overcame a defensive slugfest in the first half, going on a 14-2 run in the second half and put forth a stellar defensive effort in beating the Saints 52-42 in front of a hug...
The season didn’t end the way the Montana State University-Northern Lights were gunning for. However, four Lights were honored by the Frontier Conference at season’s end. The Frontier announced its 2013 All-Conference Team and postseason awards late last week, and Northern seniors Orin Johnson, Tanner Varner and Jordan Van Voast, and junior John Jansen were all named to the team. Johnson, a four-year starter at wide receiver, was named All-Conference for the first time in his...
Winter hasn’t even started yet, and to be honest, the meat of the Frontier Conference men’s basketball season is still a month away. But none of that mattered to the Montana State University-Northern Lights Saturday night. Instead, with just over three minutes to go, the No. 24 Lights were staring down the barrel of an 0-1 start to Frontier play, and that start was about to happen on their home floor, against their biggest rival. But then senior Roshawn West woke the Lights up...
The master of ceremonies led the crowd in a countdown from 10 to one Saturday night at Town Square in downtown Havre. As the crowd got to one, 1,000 colored lights on the community Christmas tree lit up and the crowd cheered. The Saturday night event marked the beginning of the Christmas season in Havre. The weather was mild, and the crowd larger than usual. "This is the best one we have had in 12 years," said Debbie Vandeberg, executive director of the Havre Area Chamber of...
The Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line started something new at the sixth annual Festival of Trees held Saturday night. A reverse pledge auction was held. Master of ceremonies Casey Pratt started off the auction asking the crowd at St. Jude Parish Center if anyone wanted to donate $5,000. Three people did. Then he lowered the threshold, getting more and more volunteers. Finally, there was a crowd willing to donate $100 each. A total of $64,000 was raised in pledges. That was...
