18-year-old takes top Mack Days angler award

The 2017 Spring Mack Days Fishing Event ended with 18-year-old Danner Shima of Kalispell holding onto his lead in the Top 10 category. Shima turned in 1,652 lake trout this spring, with 75.89 fish average. This was the first year that Danner fished from his own boat, after working a job and saving his Mack Day winnings from previous tournaments. He is an angler we will be watching in the future, if you can stand it. Many competitors reported having to move locations after growing frustrated watching Shima pull in fish after fish. Danner started showing up in the Mack Days stats in 2011 with four entries in the Youth Category and has progressed through the years to become his current title of Top Angler. His expertise came from fishing with his grandfather Mike Shima, his dad Ryan, and brother Austin who are all very good anglers.

Infrastructure vote a disappointment that will be remembered

Rep. Hertz, I was extremely disappointed that both you and your son, Rep. Adam Hertz, voted against the much needed GOP sponsored Infrastructure Bill, SB 367. This is not what your constituents deserve or wanted. After passing the Senate by a 38-12 margin, the two of you ignored what 64 other House members, including all Democrats and 23 fellow republicans worked for to help Montana communities and workers have a better chance for a job and improve infrastructure needs throughout the state. You Greg, are developing a disconcerting track record. You refused to support the Infrastructure Bill in 2015, which fell one vote short of passing, and were again among a minority in our 2017 Legislature to refuse to support SB 367. Your votes in the past two legislative sessions show a disregard for a healthy, safe and productive Montana. Locally, your vote resulted in the loss of $1,225,000 needed for maintenance of the Polson Elementary School. We can only hope that the voters in the communities that missed out on needed infrastructure projects, due to your uncompromising votes, will remember your actions in the 2018 election.
