I recently read that the grizzly bears are out in Yellowstone National Park. There was a time when I would have made that discovery firsthand. Bears – grizzlies in particular – have always defined the best country to me. There’s nothing like knowing that there’s a critter out there that might stalk and eat you to keep you on your toes. I used to spend a lot of time each spring in the park, much of it following elk trails in the snow. It wasn’t easy walking. Elk step in the same track in deep s...

Fatigue from a double-overtime semi-final game last Friday and an eight point deficit at halftime would not stop Malta from becoming the 2017 State B Champions in Billings Saturday night.
