The ice is barely off the lake and I’m already chasing rumors. Word had it that the smallmouth were biting in the shallows. That’s all it took. I hooked the boat up to the truck, loaded the tackle, and spent half the day yesterday flailing the water to no avail. I didn’t get a nibble. I’ve done it all before -- rushed down to the river because I heard the caddis hatch was on only to find out it wasn’t, spent hours in search of a particular pond said to harbor huge bluegill and never found it, fi...
While trying to come up with a column idea for this week’s paper I stumbled across a website which listed all of the holidays in May. The list started off with what I will call the “real” holidays for the month, i.e. Mother’s, Armed Forces and Memorial Days. These are time-tested holidays, true blue and above board. However, the longer I read the list of “national” days, the more my head hurt. I did a little research on the topic of how to create a “National” day and found that the first step is to contact your local congress person, tell th...
The issue of delisting grizzly bears in Montana has periodically been in the news over the last couple of decades. Every time the population goals were reached nongovernment organizations (NGOs) sued and the bar was raised. Apparently, delisting may finally be getting close to becoming a reality. If you are like me, you have been following this convoluted circus with a detached relief that it doesn’t concern us in eastern Montana. Wrong! Allen Schallenberger’s article in the March 20, 2014 issue of Western Ag Reporter was a wakeup call. All...

I hate to say I saw it coming.. But I did. My wife and I are expecting a new-born almost any day now. The due date is within the first week of June. I’ve never been a fan of ultra-sounds or finding out what sex the baby is, because for some reason it seems intrusive. But since the wife wanted to use all of that technology, why not. For months we were expecting a girl, so we planned accordingly. We had everything ready even a pink bath-tub. Then, a few weeks ago, we went to the hospital only t...

That elusive spring still evades us as we woke up to a snow storm on Sunday. It was soon gone after a couple of hours when the sun came out. The school kids were seen out around town picking up trash and winters accumulation of debris. Thanks kids for making a difference.

On Friday evening about sixty of the Solberg relatives met at the GN in Malta for a no-host supper and get together. It was so...
