Even in Montana where we like to think of hunting as part of our heritage, there aren’t nearly as many hunters as there once were. That doesn’t bode well. Hunting license sales account for about two-thirds of the funding for Montana’s Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Montana is third in the nation in percentage of hunters at 21.1 percent behind South Dakota at 24.1 and Wyoming at 22.7. Montana, however, does top the nation in firearm ownership. According to a 2020 report by the Rand...
Did you ever have one of those days when something comes over you and gives you a nudge or feeling? I used to have those “feelings” that made me leery of things. I left work at 6:15 p.m. Monday evening and as I left several vehicles with flashing lights were approaching me and then turned toward the fire hall. The men were running from their vehicles, leaving little time to make an imprint in the snow their feet were moving so fast. I called my boss at the office and told him the fire crew was headed out – if he was needing a space fille...
I learned something from both of my sons over the last couple of weeks. The first lesson came from my four-year-old son Lincoln. Lincoln is a very observant boy. He catches things that I often overlook. One week, Lincoln was unable to attend preschool because he was sick. Susan, my wife, stayed home with our youngest son from Monday to Wednesday. Then came my turn to take care of Linc. I was stressed out about work and it made it hard for me to enjoy my time with him due to me worrying about wor...
Louise Ann (Halverson) Uphaus died on December 20, 2022, at home with her husband, Bill, at her side. Louise was born in Hamilton, Montana on December 6, 1937, to Irvin and Ann (Schilke) Halverson.

December 28. Christmas has come and gone for another year. Very cold and then it started raining, so got slick all over.

Temps made it to the high 30’s. The trains we...

This is a trifle late for New Year’s, but jot it down, especially for the 4th of July. When lighting fireworks, or shooting off guns, keep in mind those among us suffering from PTSD. What is fun for some can be terror and heartbreaking to others. A quote from Pharr, Texas “The sounds of fireworks, or can resemble gunshots, and that can add to the stress of veterans suffering from PTSD.” “The simple thing of just the smell of gunpowder can trigger something. It doesn’t have to be the noise”, Marine veteran Alfredo Oritz said. It’s typical to ce...
You are only limited by your own boundary and mind. As the evening became chilly and the friendship and laughter blended, friends gathered Saturday night at the VFW Club for a New Year's Eve dance and celebration. One of those dancing and celebrating was Noel Emond who deals daily with the walking (and waltzing) support of his armed walker and his oxygen tanks. It may slow him down and you will probably not see him break dancing, but he has been known to "brake" while dancing to avoid collisions...
