I believe the definition of fizzle is “to fail pitifully, drizzled in embarrassment.” For what it’s worth, I’d rather fail spectacularly because, really, if you’re going to fail it might as well be epic. In the case of a public speaking fail, flop sweats should actually gush from your pores like from a sprinkler system. Extravagant gesturing should wipe out a table-full of wine bottles. That Tourette-like thing where I start swearing to make a dock-worker proud, like I di...

Her interest in old homes combined with her interest in history and genealogy. "I was always the one who was asking my grandmothers what it was like...
There was a mix-up with last week's article. It should have run this week! So, here is the article that should have been in last week's paper, celebrating the 49th installment of this series honoring Havre's 120th anniversary. My apologies to those who keep track. The entries for this article come from the Dec. 7, 1893, issue of The Havre Advertiser. The most interesting comes from Fort Assinniboine, proving that not all in Havre was uncultured and unsophisticated. The...

And that’s the case for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association right now, as it pertains to its tremendously popular National Finals Rodeo, h...
It was clear from the onset that the Montana State University-Northern Skylights were going to be too much for the New Hope Christian Deacons to handle. But what was unclear was just how hot the Skylights would get in the first half. And the answer was, while frigid outside, Northern made the first half feel like the two teams were playing in the tropics. MSU-N made six straight 3-pointers at the end of the first half, and overall shot 60 percent from three in the first 20...
