Richard and Lewellyn McNamara have lived their entire married life in Malta so it was only fitting that they would spend their 60th Wedding Anniversary in the town they have spent so much time in. Little did the couple know, but as the big day approached last week – with plans for a night out and dinner at the Great Northern – that plans would change and the Diamond Celebration would take place at an unlikely location. "We celebrated our 60th at the Phillips County Hospital," Lewellyn said. "Th...
A total of 243 brave souls headed to the Nelson Reservoir in Saco on Saturday afternoon for a day filled with ice fishing fun as the year's installment of Murph's Annual Ice Fishing Tournament was held to honor the late Robert "Murph" Murphy. "It's a great turnout," said Cindy Murphy, Murph's widow. As strong as the turnout was and as popular as the event has become, Murphy said that Murph most likely would have been embarrassed about the entire shindig. "He would have been totally...

There ought to be a law. Or not. There are a slew of bills concerning outdoor issues that legislators in Helena are considering this session. Among them: one that would prohibit the use of unmanned drones for hunting or fishing purposes, and another that would ban possession of exploding targets on state land.
