Shawn Smalley, in black, sat on the "blue" side of the bleachers in the Superior High School Gym on Saturday during the first annual Guns vs. Hoses basketball game. Fitting as a former Montana Highway Patrolman who gave 20 years of service to the state, followed by his current role as a county commissioner. He and his family were overwhelmed by the community's generous support during the benefit game and live auctions held to provide financial assistance as Shawn undergoes treatment for stage 4 colon cancer.
