    Editor, I applaud President Trump’s executive order of the review of the relatively recent designations by former presidents under the Antiquities Act of 1906.

  • Looking out my Backdoor: Bridges

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Aug 24, 2017

    What a precious two weeks in Poulsbo, Washington, while I stayed with my son, Ben. Ben and I had always been close; we’d weathered some tough early years together. Ben, at 35, a responsible family man with the best computer job in the world, working for a toy company where he went to work to play games, hit some extremely painful emotional times. He chose to opt out of the pain. At that time, Ben pushed me out of his life and, in retrospect, I’m glad he did so. It took a while...

    Updated Aug 24, 2017

    From Monana Fish, Wildlife and Parks With Montana’s upland game bird season opening Sept.1 — and the bow hunting season set to open Sept. 2 — remember that slow moving, quiet or game-calling, scented and camouflaged hunters will soon be sharing the landscape with the state’s even stealthier bears that may be stalking similar prey. It may not be an encounter one hopes for, but all hunters must be aware there is that potential. Grizzly bears are found throughout the western half of Montana, not just the Rocky Mountain Front,...
