I spent the morning in the wake of a dog hunting shaprtail grouse on my public land. On the way back to town I listened to Aaron Flint, host of the radio show Voices of Montana, preach to the choir. He opened the show with a reference to Kerry White, who had called in the previous Friday to lament the closing of roads on public land. White, a state legislator (R-Bozeman), is an old friend of mine. He’s also a motor-head. If he can’t ride a four-wheeler or snowmobile on my public lands he cri...

Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of covering the Grandparents and Special Person Breakfast at Saco School. The food smelled wonderful, the cafeteria was at capacity and the smiling faces at each table was a wonderful way to start the week (being that Hump Day is my Monday.)

Planned gifts may produce signi...
