Since its inception in 2007, Montana’s Human Trafficking Hotline has helped identify 219 cases and 446 victims of human traffic...
When I was growing up, the summer months always meant that baseball would be on the television. Whether at my mom’s, dad’s, or grandparents’ house, an Atlanta Braves game on TBS would always be playing, even if people didn’t always pay attention as they did other things.

As a huge baseball fan, I would get up every morning to read the box scores in the Daily Rocket-Miner, Casper-Star, or Rocky Mountain News to try and keep up with every team and player. I’d like to say my love for...
