  • Response to "That Wasn't Vandalism"

    Dec 20, 2017

    Normally I would not respond to someone so uniformed on a subject, but I feel that I must so that people are not mislead by Mr. Plouffe. I am reminded of a statement by Stephen Hawking “The greatest enemy of Knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” Mr. Plouffe along with many others have owned in part portions of the Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs. Many have tried in different ways to place band aids on different portions of the historic Sleeping Buffalo, including the hot water well. Mr. Plouffe wrote as though he had kno...

  • Unwanted Walleye?

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|Dec 20, 2017

    When I heard about the illegal introduction of walleye into Swan Lake, the first person I thought of was Tommy Garrison. A hermit who lived for years in the mountains near Cooke City, Tommy was rumored to have stocked all the lakes and streams in the area with his favorite fish --brook trout. No doubt the walleye dumped into Swan Lake were the perpetrator’s favorite species. I suspect, however, that the technique was a bit different. The walleye, which originated in Lake Helena, probably a...

  • I'm with the victims

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 20, 2017

    I hate to say this but this one isn’t for the kids. When Matt Lauer was fired from NBC for inappropriate sexual behavior, some people were quick to blame the victims and the media. Why is it so hard for people to accept that sometimes terrible things actually happen and that not everything is a conservative or liberal conspiracy? I know that not every person in a position of power uses their power to make sexual advances, but in this case when you have someone apologize for their behavior l...
