81 years of looking down the scope

Mildred Bryant celebrates 80th hunting anniversary by harvesting mule deer

Hunting has no set expiration date — if you can shoulder a firearm, still see good enough to look down the sights and traverse a fair amount of open country, then your clock’s still ticking. If you’re 41 and fighting for a Super Bowl ring, you’re ancient. If you’re 41 and looking for that seven-point bull, well, you’re in your prime. Then there’s Mildred Bryant. The 90-year-old New Plymouth resident has been hunting big game for nearly double that timespan, and she recently harvested a handsome 3x4 mule deer near Malta after 80 years of looking down the scope. Next time you’re out stalking a buck and your legs get a little sore, think of Mildred’s story.

Name calling isn't the way to voice political differences

For 30-plus years, Bonners Ferry, Boundary County is dear to my heart even as I watch the disturbing elected officials “shove us into the ground”. Name-calling and character assassination was a disgusting practice we county citizens would not stoop to, or so I thought.

God’s plan should be followed, not man’s plan

God’s ways are better than our ways. From the beginning, God created one man and one woman and commanded them to be fruitful and multiple and fill the earth. Abraham was promised that His seed would be like the sand on the seashore. When God’s people were in Egypt they continued to obey this command to be fruitful and multiple.
