    Mark Hebert, Editor|Mar 18, 2015

  • That guy from somewhere else

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|Mar 18, 2015

    I’m not from around here. That fact is regularly pointed out to me. Usually following a column someone didn’t like. It’s true. I was born and raised a Hoosier. I didn’t arrive in Montana until I was 18. I came here on my own. And I’m still here by choice. But I don’t bring that up when someone calls me an outsider. There’s no need. It shouldn’t make my opinion on matters of Montana any less legitimate. You don’t have to live here a certain length of time to have an opinion. Of course no one lik...

  • Talk about pressure

    Mark Hebert, Editor|Mar 18, 2015

    As I sit in front of my computer this Wednesday morning, removing last week’s news in perpetration for this week’s, I decided to leave the giant picture box on page 1A -- the one which housed the Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale second place basketball squad -- because I am just that confident that it will be replaced with a picture of the Malta M-ettes hoisting some Class B hardware. No pressure ladies...yeah right. It has been a forgone conclusion that anything short of a State Championship for the M-ettes at the Class B Championship in Great Fal...

  • Lessons learned

    Mar 18, 2015

    Thanks to the excellent play of our sports teams,I have been blessed to follow them during state tournaments for the past three basketball seasons and last couple of wrestling seasons. During my expeditions, I have learned a few things. Number one, I invested in the a shoulder strap for my camera, instead of a strap around the neck, which can really hurt after a few hours. Second I learned to make sure I keep my batteries fully charged. Third, I learned to plan a hotel early, because nothing is guaranteed upon arrival to whatever town the...
