"This pool has offered me so many opportunities...I wouldn't be who I am today without the pool being part of my life," stated Malta City Pool manager, Shay Garfield. "The best part of my childhood was coming here and doing swim team!" Shay's love for the pool and crisp clear blue waters waiting to be set into ripple mode with the splash of a kid diving is one that many youngsters look forward to.

As the underpass is labeled to let people know what town they are in, now the wall says it, too. Kari Rae (Saint Louis), owner of the Villa Theatre, commissioned Cat (Catherine) McIntyre to paint the exterior east wall of the Villa. Originally an artist was set to do the project and there were a couple snags and interruptions in the process and a new artist needed to be located. Cat answered the inquiry about services and abilities and in late April, the project got off the ground. Cat just fini...

Dear Editor, Every parent remembers the day we took our child to their first day of school. It pulls at your heartstrings. Fortunately, in Montana, we knew our children were in good hands. They were entering schools with teachers who were well qualified and supported, learning lessons from curriculum we had approved, and following the rules set by school boards we had elected. As a mom, a teacher and a legislator, I believe that the work Montanans have done for public education provides a pathway for every child to be their best, for every...
Dear Editor, The Classes of 1960-1969 held their Class Reunions at the Tin Cup on Friday and Saturday June 2nd and 3rd; Sunday the gathering was at the Sleeping Buffalo. Friday evening the food was outstanding at the Tin Cup and the service was good. But there was no water, no coffee, or other drinks. The only way you could get something to drink was from the bar. There were 240 people attending this event. The acoustics were terrible, the only way you could visit was to scream! It was obvious the bar was out to make money and they did! They...
Barb and I spent the morning at the lake catching up on chores. It was too windy to fish. By early afternoon, however, the wind began to lay. “Let’s go fishing,” Barb said. I was in the boat at the dock rigging a couple of rods watching her walk down the hill with an insulated bag of food and drinks when I noticed an ominous bank of clouds approaching. “Let’s wait this out,” I suggested, and we headed up the hill back to the house. By the time we got there big drops of rain had begun to fa...

To the PETA, “Professional and Ethical Treatment of Animals and SPCA, and other organizations. Please stop cruelty to baby calves by branding, dehorning and other operations. There must be other ways. Now there are psychedelic ear tags, so they can be seen at night! (Put brands on ear tags). Also, why dehorn? That is horribly cruel. Why not raise Montana longhorns? Texans made a fortune by raising longhorns. Branding is more of a tradition than a necessity. Here in Whitewater, the weather has b...
