  • I am the 'riff raff', it seems

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|Jan 11, 2017

    I often hear that we’re losing access to our public lands. It’s the mantra of the motorized crowd who regularly lament the closing of old logging roads. Now the same crowd is raising a fuss over new restrictions concerning motorized travel on some of Montana’s rivers. I never viewed motorized restrictions as limiting my access. Quite the opposite in fact. They gave me a leg up. For much of my life I was too poor to afford even a 4WD pickup, let alone an ATV or a snowmobile. I walked or skied or...

  • Week 2 is already better than week 1, upward and onward

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Jan 11, 2017

    Good news at the Hebert household as Stella, the 7-year-old family Chihuahua, is back to 100-percent. She is eating regularly, has some pep in her step and is back to her Chihuahua temperament (i.e. I love you, leave me alone.) It was looking pretty grim last week, but we stopped listening to the vet – in fact did everything in reverse fashion from what the vet was saying – and within 48 hours, we had our old dog back. That’s the good news. The bad news comes in the form of those Oakland Raiders…yikes. Without their starting quarterback, my lon...

  • No, Don't Give Up On Those New Year's Resolutions Quite Yet

    American Counseling Association|Jan 11, 2017

    Admit it. You’ve already forgotten those New Year’s resolutions you made just a few weeks ago and most likely you didn’t succeed in accomplishing most of them (any of them?). But it isn’t too late to give them a second chance and it is worth doing. Serious New Year’s resolutions are never easy to bring to fruition. The key to success is to approach the changes you’d like to make in ways that will help you succeed. Start by being realistic. Expecting giant lifestyle changes to happen quickly or easily is asking for failure. Our bad habits usua...
