This day and age photographs are taken every second by cell phones, but that wasn't the case in the 1960's. A camera's film still needed to be developed in a dark room or taken to the local drug store or mailed away and in a week or two the photos were mailed back. Also, not very often does a happen-stance photo end up in a museum only to be discovered by a friend years later. Al Minugh of Dodson, Mont., brought in a copy of one such photo, but before we get to that story, Al revealed a little...

Although it was the middle of July, the breeze carried with it the promise of fall and all that entails. And like a warm zephyr on a cool night, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I was filled with a feeling of dread that hunting season was starting without me. I’ve had that dream before, but this time I was awake, fully aware of what time it was and it wasn’t time to go hunting. “Feels like hunting season,” I said to my wife. “Kinda does, doesn’t it?” she replied, not looking u...
As you read this column, the Hebert clan is most likely somewhere between Wolf Point and Glasgow, making our way home to Phillips County after stays in Minot, N.D., and Deadwood, S.D., as your neighborhood reporter’s 2016 vacation comes to a close. This year we decided to take to the highways and byways of this great country instead of our usual airplane trip to Southern California to visit the Mouse and his friends. We weren’t sure where or what we would do, but the wife, child and I knew that we wanted a road trip. Shortly after, the dau...

To put it bluntly, if the small creatures of the world are in trouble, humankind can't be far behind. After decades of dousing everything (soil, plants, insect, small and large animals) with poison, the effects are becoming more evident. On top of spraying everything, we are tearing down trees and covering arable farmland with pavement, houses and nonproductive...
We all feel anxiety at times. We may be anxious about a new job, moving to a new city, entering into a romantic relationship. This normal, everyday anxiety is usually a type of stress that we learn to cope with fairly easily. But for some people, stress can bring on crippling levels of anxiety, what is commonly referred to as an "anxiety disorder." Anxiety disorders are actually the most common form of mental health issues in the United States today. Some estimates say this problem affect nearly 1 in 5 adults. When someone is suffering from an...
