It was slow-going early on Saturday morning at Nelson Reservoir as the 10th Murph's Annual Memorial Ice Fishing Tournament as the fish just weren't biting. With the temperatures shooting to the mid-40's, Malta's Pete Dalby -- one of more than a dozen volunteers at the tournament -- agreed that it was nice out, but added that it wasn't helping land any monsters two hours into the event. “There has only been seven fish brought in so far," said Dalby while manning the weigh station. "It has kind o...
"A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life." – Coco Chanel When it comes to Savannah Rhoads, Coco Chanel's famous haircut quote is almost entirely correct. Savannah, who is age five, thought long and hard about cutting her hair and in the end, when she finally decided to let the scissors snip her auburn locks, it was her hope that the new-do would change someone else's life as well. "I got it cut and gave it Locks of Love," Savannah said last week. "I had been growing it for about 1...

It's hard to know where to start when talking about Sawyer Brown. More than 4500 shows and counting. More than a million miles behind them and still seeing the highway miles click by outside their bus window. Twenty-three albums. More than 50 chart singles and CMA, ACM, and CMT awards on the shelf. To pull a line from one of the band's enduring hits: "This is the life and times of a travelin' band." A traveling band, indeed. Always on the move-on the road, on stage, and in their career. When...
Years ago I wrote a column about my father’s skin cancer. Each time I saw him there was less of him there. The doctors had carved away so much of his nose and ears that he was slowly disappearing. I thought it was a funny column. I vowed at the time to start wearing a bigger hat. I didn’t want to suffer the same fate, but wasn’t really worried because my father was an old man and I was still bulletproof. Then last fall, my friend Johnny said he wanted to take a look at my ear. We were hunti...
To the Editor: I appreciate this opportunity to address some apparent confusion regarding American Prairie Reserve’s request to the Bureau of Land Management concerning a potential change-of-use on our Flat Creek BLM allotment. Specifically, we asked that bison be allowed to graze year-round versus part of the year. This request is similar to year-round requests other local livestock producers have been granted. We also asked to remove interior fences on the Flat Creek allotment. There are a number of reasons why we are confident that year-roun...
My Super Bowl 50 pick is 90 percent Bears related. Of course I know that my favorite team from the windy city is not going to be the team representing the NFC in the big game this Sunday, but a few players and coaches on the Carolina Panthers are related to my beloved, therefore I want to see them win. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera not only helped the Bears win Super Bowl XX, but he was also an assistant coach as well. When Rivera was Chicago’s Defensive Coordinator, during his second season w...

1 years ago February 3, 1916 This winter mild according to old timers It was sure amusing to the old timers of this section to read of the reports being sent out about the cold weather, herds and flocks of being buried in coulees, deep snow and all such gush, when in reality none of the sheepmen are suffering and, as one of the most prominent of the flockmasters stated last evening, he had plenty of feed to last for many more weeks.
