Author Tom McGuane will be honored with the Emeritus distinction of the High Plains Book Awards on Saturday in Billings. It's something that he jokes sounds a lot like a prize for geezers.

Spanning a 43-year career, McGuane has made a living writing novels, screenplays, short stories, and magazine articles—including an upcoming feature for The Drake. He also chased tarpon (and skirts) in an unwashed 70s-era Key West and has long since settled down with his wife, Laurie, on their property near McLeod, MT. Between writing, ranching, and fishing, at age 72 he says there are still more miles in the tank.

“It’s hard to stay inside in the summer in Montana."

Excellent Will. As a survivor, I think, of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant accident, I watched a crisis move slowly to the back of the paper and then drop from consciousness long before the real problems were even identified. We are in a new age where accountability for environmental disasters is taken seriously, but we have to keep the pressure on and the facts flowing. Good job with both, keep it up.

Great article Will....very dis-heartening! Just to say "my bad we won't hit the deadline" is a complete cop out for Suncor. I assume the penalty is more likely less then what it would cost to actually hit the deadline? Pathetic. Hey where is that Graffiti picture from? That is really cool looking!
