The CCHS Bulldogs trounced St. Labre two weeks ago on senior night at Rowley Field to wrap up their conference play for the season.

It was a very short, long week to kick off JH basketball! With only four short practices, new coaches and new kids — we kicked of our game schedule with a long trip to Jordan for our first games.

Keeping the intensity up but thinking before we react, we improved our control aga...

Although most hunters respect the land, property and wildlife they are hunting, a minority do not. Yet these few bad actors lead to frustration from private landowners and hunters looking to do things right. This year remember: It’s up to us. Respect access. Protect the hunt. Every hunting season, there are reports of vandalizing of Block Management Area (BMA) boxes, hunters driving off road, illegal trespassing, hunters being shot over, littering, and livestock being shot.

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know Lord, we all know we’re born to die, but when that happens to our family, friends or loved ones, sometimes it just takes us by surprise. Just heard that an elderly ‘Mom’ slipped away. Some families were near, others were not yet able to get there. We/they know that You, Lord, will come again, but not to deal with our sins. We also know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love the Lord and are fitting into His plans. Later, friends chatted about how great ‘mom’ m...
The long awaited general season rifle hunting season starts this week. It has been an important weekend for me ever since I was born into my parents’ outfitting business, and I have spent many years as a hunting camp cook, so I have always revered hunting guides. I love to listen to hunters’ tales of how their guide darn near killed them off dragging them to the top of every mountain but how it was worth it in the end to shoot an elk on a wilderness hunt. However after all those years of observation, I have come to the con...
