Undaunted Stewart breaks through for Broncos run game against Rams
BOISE — Harry Stewart came to Boise State this offseason fully aware that the Bronco football team already had both Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines established at the running back position. The Kansas transfer knew that he was going to have to fight for any time he saw on the field this season. He wouldn’t have it any other way. “It was just seeing what they do to guys, the history of the running backs,” Stewart said about what attracted him to Boise. “Obviously with (Ashton) Jeanty, Jay Ajayi, the history of running backs here, they put guys in the lead. And with Si and Dylan, even when I was at Kansas, hearing what they were doing, I knew that development, the coaches that we have here, the staff, the process of being here, I know I have a better chance of getting to the next level, which is what I want to do.” With Gaines out with an injury in last week’s 64-38 win against Colorado State, Stewart had his first big moments for the Broncos in the fourth quarter. The junior running back had nine carries for 89 yards in the final 20 minutes of the game. He

After Burnout as a Tax Accountant, Boise Woman Opens Romance-Only Bookstore
Samantha Haroian spent nearly a decade crunching numbers as a tax accountant before burnout pushed her toward a very different kind of ledger: the one she keeps behind the counter of Hearts on Fire, a romance-only bookstore she owns in downtown Boise. The idea had been simmering since around 2018, and Haroian planned to open the shop in October 2025. Now it is becoming a gathering spot for the Treasure Valley's self-described hopeless romantics.

From fighter jets to family medicine: Meet Dr. Timothy Ruth
Dr. Timothy Ruth loves challenges. In fact, for most of his life, he has preferred to face multiple at once. A St. Luke’s family medicine physician who also is medical director of the on-demand virtual care team, Ruth grew up knowing he wanted to be in the military. Later, he developed an interest in medicine. So, why not combine those passions, both requiring serious commitment? “My first eight years out of residency were full-time military,” Ruth said. Ruth began his active-duty service in North Dakota before transferring to Mountain Home Air Force Base. There, he attended flight surgeon school and became involved in flight medicine in 2004. He stayed on active duty for five years as a flight surgeon and was deployed to Ecuador in 2004 and to Afghanistan in 2007. Along the way, he immersed himself in the inner workings of a fighter squadron. “It was really a fun challenge and it was a blast,” Ruth said. The title of flight surgeon is a bit of a misnomer, however. “When you’re a flight surgeon, you’re kind of their team physician, so my job was to take care of the pilots and their families,” he said. “But your role is

This Idaho Ridge Trail Rewards Hikers With Sweeping Views Over The City Below

Young Broncos lift team to 3-0 start
BOISE — Boise State women’s basketball coach Gordy Presnell just graduated one triple-double threat. Perhaps he has another one on his hands? Freshman Zia-Daye Anderson did not have a triple-double in Tuesday’s 82-59 win against CSUN at ExtraMile Arena, but in her third game as a Bronco, Anderson showed every bit capable of doing so in the future. She went into halftime on pace to record the fourth triple-double in program history and finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in the Broncos’ win. Once again, Anderson was in just the third game of her college career. “It feels really nice,” said Anderson. “I’m just playing like myself and playing the game.” After last season, Boise State (3-0) graduated Abby Muse, who in 2024 became the third Bronco to record a triple-double in program history in a Mountain West Tournament opening round won against Boise State. On paper, there might look like there’s little similarities between the two. Muse was a 6-foot, 3-inch forward, while Anderson is a 5-7 guard. But when Anderson looks at Muse’s game, she sees a fight and intensity, which Presnell sees in Anderson. “Zia is a talent,” said Presnell. “I believe she averaged
