To the Malta Athletic Club: You have given away enough guns to start a Civil War in Phillips County. Don’t you think it would be more practical to buy the athletes food, the bus gas, and uniforms instead of guns? Here in Whitewater, volleyball, cross country, and football are the present sports. Pat Dunbar’s grandson was injured in a football game. He is much better now. I’m not sure of his name, either Emmitt or Clayton. There was a volleyball game in Whitewater on Thursday.

Sympathy for the victims of the fires. Be careful with Montana Fires. Get well to all who are sick, including Steve Young. Whitewater School is in session; it livens up the town. It was so different when I went to school. We didn’t start school until September or after Labor Day. Now it begins in August. In first grade there were no school lunches, we took our own.

Note: He is Jeannie Green’s grandson. If anyone wants to help, contact Jeannie. We all pray for K...

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...
Sympathy for the immigrants and homeless people who have no place to go. Sympathy to the family of Terry McMullen. He was raised in Whitewater. Ray McMullen was his brother. Bonnie McMullen was his sister-in-law. On Memorial Day, some went to the Veterans Parade and BBQ lunch in Malta. Others went to the lake (Nelson Reservoir).

Whitewater Creek is flooding! Mr. Cummings took pictures and there is water everywhere. Recently, the PC Ambulance responded to a call from Whitewater. They took a lovely lady to the hospital. We are glad she is doing better and at home now. The ambulance provides a real service; however, Whitewater should have its own local ambulance service. There is an ambulance here but cannot get anyone to be medics and drive. Maybe there is time and training involved. We are so isolated out here and a...
