It had been a while since I’d scared myself. I was hunting the marsh with Jem a couple of days before the pheasant opener. We were loaded for ducks, but the primary purpose of the trip was to scout for roosters. Jem, my black and white springer spaniel, is the only one of my dogs that will enthusiastically retrieve waterfowl. Spot’s reluctantly brought back a few ducks that she could reach while wading, and Ace will corral them on land. Jem, however, can even perform blind retrieves, if I dir...

Dear Editor, I received a letter from Gary Taylor soliciting my vote for J.P. in Phillips County. In this letter, he stated the respect for the office was back with him in office. I don’t think the respect was lost, as Judge Stahl held the office for 30 years thanks to the voters of Phillips County. As far as fine money went, I know she collected back fines as my son was one that got behind and she worked with him to catch it up. So I know she was definitely paying attention to the fines. As far as underage guilty parties, they were put to w...
Watching the sunrise while at the office of the Phillips County News on any given day is wonderful, but Wednesdays are particularly so. Shades of pink, red and orange mix with black, gray and blue until finally the mornings sky comes fully awake and day has arrived. I don’t sit in front of the office and watch the entire display unfurl, but rather catch it in bits and pieces as I venture outside in five minute intervals as I take a break from whatever work I might be doing inside the building. I enjoy my alone time early in the morning at my o...

Because of this summer’s weather – Montana has been hot, cold, rainy and, in some parts, snowy – the grain harvest was delayed in many areas, and some barley and wheat have sprouted in the seed heads. These sprouted grains, although not suitable for traditional markets, can be used as a feedstuff for livestock according to Megan Van Emon, Extension beef cattle specialist.
