 NEW BUSINESS – Mark and Cathy DeBoo of Silvertip Photography of Valier. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
She and her husband Mark DeBoo, who manages the family ranch southwest of Valier, have opened a home-based business, Silvertip Photography.
The phone number for Silvertip Photography is 279-3633. At the present, Cathy does outdoor location photography by appointment.
Mark says, “We’ve always had an interest in photography and work well together. Eventually we’d like to have a studio.”
He likes photography because, “It makes you slow down and see what’s around you.”
Cathy is a nurse, originally from Wyoming. She moved to Fairfield and still works in the medical field as needed in Conrad and Cut Bank.
She notes that now is a really good time for the graduating Class of 2009 to have their senior pictures taken.
DeBoo has several pristine and prime locations that she likes to “shoot” at, adding, “I really like working with the kids, it’s a lot of fun and we make it relaxing, not only for them but for us as well.”
She strives to capture the life, beauty and memory of the moment. The couple also book weddings where “We can do a lot of candid shooting,” she says.
When not working with people, Cathy likes to do macro-photography, scenics and wildlife photography.
If you have questions or want further information on Silvertip Photography, contact DeBoos at 279-3633. |

A Conrad man was fined $535 for criminal trespass on the Sun River Wildlife Management Area in March nearly two months before the WMA opened May 15 to the general public.
Jamey Linn, 40, was also sentenced, June 6, by Lewis and Clark County Justice of the Peace Wally Jewell to pay Fish, Wildlife and Parks $250 restitution.
In March, FWP game warden Dave Holland noticed that antlers were disappearing off the WMA west of Augusta along the Rocky Mountain Front. The WMA is popular with antler collectors when it opens May 15. Occasionally, a few folks try to sneak on illegally before the opening and steal antlers.
So Holland marked an elk antler. Then he waited.
“The antler was picked up by Linn in March and put farther into the WMA,” Holland says. “After the WMA opened, he returned to the marked antler and other antlers he had picked up.”
It’s important to remember, Holland says, that all the state’s WMAs exist for wintering wildlife not to protect antlers.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case, says FWP game warden Capt. Mike Martin.
“Just this winter statewide we have arrested people trespassing on closed WMA’s for lion hunting, shooting for target practice and searching for antlers,” Martin says.
“Montanans bought these lands to protect wintering big game herds,” Martin says. “Trespass disturbs elk when they are in their poorest annual condition, sometimes causing them to move to private property where they cause damage.” |

 BOOMER SHOT – Ryan VanDyke smokes a tee shot off the first tee box at the Pondera Golf Club during the Farm Ranch tourney on Friday. The VanDyke team shot a 62 to place first in Flight Two. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
The First Flight was a shoot-out between the teams of Skylar Orcutt, Justin Meier, Jeremiah Pearson, and Ross Johnson against Lane Judisch, Kellen Judisch, and Brandon and John Coryell.
Both teams finished in regulation play with blistering 59s on their card over the 6,596-yard par 72 layout.
In a two-hole playoff, the squad of Orcutt, Meier, Pearson and Johnson won and took first place honors.
The team of Ryan VanDyke, Tim VanDyke, Kenny VanDyke and Jaren VanDyke put together a round of 62 to place first in Flight Two.
Chris and Judy Ellis, Don Dutro and Jerry Philipps who fashioned a round of 64 followed them.
In Flight Three, the team of Rollie Schlepp, Jim Judisch, Jr., Jim Sargent, and Bill McKinley, Jr., put together a round of 69 to take first in flight. One shot back at 70, two under par, were Michelle Botsford, Pat Meuli, Dave Orcutt, and John Campos.
For Flight Four, shooting a nifty 66 got first place in their flight for Vanessa Bucklin, Scott Embody, and Ben and Phil Hodgskiss.
They were followed by Paul Johnson, Jerry Jerome, Adam “Thundersticks” Jerome, and Ernie Ratzburg, who put together a round of 71.
Following the tournament, there was a rib barbecue cooked by Janie Olson and Scott Arvidson on a Traeger wood burning pellet grill.
Later, Erik “Fingers Ray” Gustafson rounded out the evening playing his toe tapping, hand clapping music that set the golfers to dancing. |
