  • Waiting for the pike to appear

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Feb 26, 2020

    When I was a kid my dad gave me an autographed copy of a book by Sasha Siemel. He was a professional hunter in Brazil, famous for killing more than 300 jaguars with a spear. As I sat shivering in a fish house on Fort Peck Lake last weekend, staring down a hole in the ice waiting for a pike to appear, I tried to channel Siemel. It didn’t work. Eventually a pike did appear and I hurled the spear with undisciplined haste, missing my target by a wide margin. Had that fish been a jaguar I would h...

  • Loring News for February 26, 2020

    Feb 26, 2020

    The snowy owls are still here! Since I've been gone for a couple of weeks, I wasn't sure if they would still be here! And I spotted two golden eagles, always a joy to me. I know many people don't care for eagles, but they hold a special place in my heart. I made an incorrect statement last week. Mylee Clark is receiving her first communion, not being confirmed on Sunday. So sorry for the confusion. Carol and Pete Lumsden had overnight guests on Saturday. Ellie, Aubrie, and Cisilie Norville and Etta Blunt had a special granddaughters sleepover!...

  • Dodson News for February 26, 2020

    Eldora Henry, PCN Correspondent|Feb 26, 2020

    We have been experiencing warm temperatures and sun in the afternoons that have really been taking the snow away. Some nights are still pretty cool and we are hoping for no more snow. Last week I had several Blue Jays in my pine trees and they stayed for several days. I usually don't get more than one or two at a time. I have not seen hardly any small birds all winter, but my son told me after I saw the Jays the little ones would come. They did and today I had quite a collection in the trees....

  • Whitewater News & Opinion for February 26, 2020

    Feb 26, 2020

    The news on TV and radio is depressing. There are so many drive-by shootings and murders, all terrible. Once more we see the need for gun control…mostly banning or controlling assault weapons used in wars. Recently, I went to Havre and shopped at the Dollar Store. Great buys at ½ price of most stores. However, Havre shopping is limited as so many stores are gone. I especially miss Kmart. Back in Whitewater, many ranchers are gearing up for calving. It seems early to me, as Dad and most ranchers didn’t start caving until May or April when the...
