Hey, Wild Bunch! (hint, hint)

He just keeps getting better and better. Frank
Vandall popped in to BS Central to show us
his latest piece of art. While most of the self-
taught artist’s work is with a paint brush, lately
he has been diving into pencil sketching, and
what stunning detail! Frank has just started his
next project which is also a pencil sketch and
we can hardly wait to see the finished project
as he described the theme. It will definitely be
touching to the heart.

Glasgow girls riding four-game winning streak
By Mike Brandt
Every team wants to go into
post-season play with momentum.
Well, the Glasgow Scotties will
have that Mighty Mo heading
into the District 2B tournament
that starts this afternoon with the
Scotties playing at 5 p.m.
The Scotties open against Wolf
Point (11-7, 5-3). Harlem (6-12,
2-6) and Poplar (5-11, 0-8) played
the early game. A win would put
the Scotties in the championship
game on Saturday.
Glasgow will need to play some
good ball, which the Scotties have
been doing since Christmas break.
The Scotties only losses since the
break is against Class C North
Country.
Glasgow (12-6, 5-3) are going
into the weekend riding a 4-game
winning streak after adding two
more wins last weekend.
Glasgow finished the regular
season on the road, traveling to
Harlem on Friday night. Four free
throws in the final eight seconds
secured a 56-49 victory. Sabrina
Harsh connected on a pair of
throws with eight seconds to play.
Tyann Graham was at the line two
seconds later where the senior
added two more throws.
The Scotties broke the game
open with a 14-0 run in the fourth
quarter. Harsh, who played in
foul trouble, scored eight of the
14 points. Daley Aune added four
points and Carly Nelson had two.
Taya Trottier kept Harlem
within striking distance. The
senior drained a three-pointer
with 38 seconds to play. Glasgow
led 52-49 at that point. But the
Wildcats missed three shots from
behind the arc in the last minute
of play.
Trottier also had a three
earlier in the fourth, getting the
Wildcats to within 52-45. She also
had a free throw before her next
trey. Glasgow found the lid on the
basket when the Scotties went to
the foul line. Graham missed the
front end of bonus throws with
2:04 to play. Blaire Westby also
missed the front end with 1:50
left. Harsh grabbed the offensive
rebound, which set Aune up for
a shot at the line. The junior also
missed the front end of the throws.
Graham was back at the line with
57 seconds to play and missed
both double-bonus throws. But
the Scotties made the free throws
they needed down the stretch.
Glasgow had led 6-4 early in
the first but trailed 13-10 going
into the second quarter. Aune
paced the Scotties for a 6-0 run and
16-13 lead. The junior had four of
the points. But the Wildcats went
on an 8-0 run to take a 21-16 lead.
Glasgow’s free throw shooting
woes actually started in the second
quarter when the Scotties missed
three straight bonus throws.
Graham had made two earlier in
the second.
Harlem started the third off
with a 12-2 run for a 36-22 lead.
Aune got hot to score 11 of the
Scotties 14-0 run to tie the game at
36. Aune’s putback tied the game
and her trey prior to that made it
a two-point game. Harlem closed
out the frame making 4 of 6 free
throws for a 40-36 lead.
Aune and Trottier had a
scoring contest with the Harlem
senior netting 27 points and Aune
25. Trottier buried four treys and
Aune one.
Harsh finished the game with
15 points, all in the second half.
Nelson had six points, Graham and
Westby four each, and Abrianna
Neilsen two. Aune and Nelson had
nine rebounds each.
Rounding out the scoring for
Harlem was Chloe Messerly with
nine points, Aarya Mounts had
eight, Little three, and Moore two.
Glasgow went on a 15-0 run
the started in the first quarter and
continued in the second as the
Scotties thumped Poplar 59-17
Saturday night at Moccasin Square
Garden. Aune started the run
at the 2:30 mark in the first and
Nielsen capped off the run with
5:30 to play in the half.
After Morgan Nordwick
scored for the Indians, the Scotties
went on another run that drifted
into the third quarter. This time
Harsh’s free throw started a 15-0
run and Aune’s bucket early in the
third capped off the run. Graham
drained a three ball in the run.
Glasgow led 32-6 at the half
with Harsh scoring 11 points,
Aune eight, and Nielsen seven.
Nelson’s bucket with 4:15 to play
in the game started the running
clock as the Scotties took a 56-16
lead.
The Scotties had a good night
from the line, making 11 of 16
throws. Harsh went 5 for 6 and
Nelson 5 for 8. Aune and Harsh
scored 15 points each to lead the
Scotties. Nielsen and Nelson had
nine each, and Graham seven.
Nordwick paced the Indians
with six points, Rikki Belton and
Kassee Erickson had three each,
Mattie Falls Down and Jazmyn
Carry Water two each, and Abby
Azur one.

Poachers sentenced after lengthy investigation
A poaching investigation
here in northeastern Montana
that lasted more than two
and a half years, ended with
several men being sentenced
last month in the Montana
16th Judicial District Court in
Garfield County.
“FWP enforcement’s
excellent work and diligence
resulted in the exposure of one
of the most disturbing poaching
cases in recent history,” said
Montana Fish, Wildlife &
Parks Director Hank Worsech.
“From initial investigations to sentencing, our wardens
demonstrated their commitment to the stewardship
and protection of Montana’s outdoor resources.”
The investigation centered on a hunting party
led by Richard LeBlanc and their continued poaching
activities on and around the Byron Kerr Ranch in
Garfield and McCone counties. From 2005 to 2011, 31
citations were issued to LeBlanc and other members of
his hunting parties for numerous violations. Additional
information received in 2014 started the most recent
investigation.
“The poachers targeted deer and antelope, but
their main focus was the unlawful hunting of mule deer
bucks in hunting district 652,” said Fish, Wildlife &
Parks Criminal Investigator Steve Marx.
Mule deer bucks in HD 652 can only be hunted
with a special permit obtained through the state’s
drawing system.
LeBlanc and Marc Federico, of Rhode Island,
Stephen Schenck, of Massachusetts, and William
Mathews, of Florida, were sentenced Jan. 11.
As part of a plea agreement, LeBlanc, Federico,
Schenck and Mathews were jointly and individually
ordered to pay $50,000 in restitution and received six-
month suspended jail sentences.
LeBlanc’s hunting, fishing and trapping privileges
were suspended for a period of 10 years while Federico,
Schenck and Mathews’ privileges were suspended for
eight, seven and two years, respectively.
In addition, Joseph Caetano, of Massachusetts,
and Austin Bridwell, of Florida, both appeared and
were sentenced earlier in the case. Caetano was ordered
to pay $3,750, received a six-month suspended jail
sentence and lost hunting
fishing and trapping privileges
for 10 years. Bridwell paid
$1,400, received a 12-month
suspended jail sentence and lost
hunting, fishing and trapping
privileges for two years.
All defendants will be
entered into the Interstate
Wildlife Violator Compact.
LeBlanc, Federico, Schenck,
Mathews and Caetano cannot
accompany anyone hunting,
fishing or trapping in Montana
during their suspension periods.
The case revealed evidence of at least 48 unlawfully
taken game animals. Charges included: failing to wear
hunter orange, shooting from the roadway, loan and
transfer of hunting licenses, taking an overlimit of game
animals, waste of game, possession of unlawfully killed
deer and antelope, hunting during a closed season,
hunting without a valid license, hunting without a valid
permit, failure to tag, felony possession of wildlife and
conspiracy to commit an offense.
In addition to the individuals mentioned above, the
