    Helen Austin, PCN Correspondent|Aug 4, 2021

    Today I talked on the radio show “Montana Talks.” I talked against the horrible shooting and murders everywhere, also what should be done about all of it. It’s so sad.

She gave us information on various programs on “Counsel on Aging.” One item we discussed was the fact that I got kicked off the Phillips County Transit Bus without a valid reason.

  • I'll miss my Yellowstone fishing friends this year

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Aug 4, 2021

    It was 50 years ago this month that I first fished the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. I was working for an outfitter in Cooke City and had been asked to accompany an elderly couple into the canyon and tend the horses. I don’t remember how the fishing was but I suspect it was good, good enough that I soon began making the trip on my own on foot. In the ensuing half century I rarely went a summer without at least one trip into the canyon. The cutthroat were plentiful and 40-fish days were common...
