The Missoula Children's Theatre brought their yearly production to Malta last week, capping a week's worth of play practices with two live shows at the Malta High School Auditorium on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. This year's play was entitled Beauty Lou and the Country Beast and the tale included bronc-busting, miners, a county fair, blue ribbons and a bevy of barnyard animals (many of which scrambled across the stage during a hand full of sarcastic stampedes.) Loosely based on the class...
It is a new year, with a new mayor, but some things never seem to change as problems with City of Malta’s water project persist. At last Tuesday night's Malta City Council meeting — the first of 2018 and the first for new City Mayor John Demarais — the Council approved a motion to begin the process of raising water rates for the second time in 19-months (the first rate increase occurred in July of 2016 to help secure loans and funding for a city-wide water improvement project.) Mayor Demar...

Recently I visited a man from South Malta. Their water was frozen for a week. Sympathy to them. There were ballgames with Dodson on Saturday. Games were good and attendance was better. There was a silent auction to benefit the senior class and lunch was served. Congratulations to both teams on the games and to the Maverick mascot (so funny!) There will be an annual meeting and potluck at Whitewater Lutheran Church on January 21, 2018. Everyone is welcome. (Whitewater potlucks are famous!) At...
Sympathy is extended to the Dave Clark family on the death of his niece. Dave and Cindy took a road trip to Minot for a brief visit with the family. I can't even comment on the weather because all the cold days are running together, and I can't keep it straight if the coldest weather was this week or last. The Loring Woman's Club will meet at the home of Dixie Stordahl on Wednesday at 7 p.m. I'm so thankful to the crew at Fine Line for fixing my jeep after the run-in with the deer! It is like a...

Let it snow. My thoughts on snow have changed over the years. As a kid growing up in Indiana, a decent snowfall typically meant a break from school. Half a foot was enough to shut down the buses. It would usually melt within a couple of days, but in the meantime, my friends and I would wear ourselves out on the hill behind the Episcopal church. We’d also make snow ice cream, a concoction of snow, cream, sugar, and vanilla that was never quite as good as anticipated. I longed for snow. O...
I appreciate the patience. As you all know our editor was out for a few weeks, so I had the chance to gain valuable experience as a short term newspaper editor. I am proud of how our short-handed staff handled things over the weeks. I do realize in being short-handed, there were things that I couldn’t cover as well as normal. I definitely appreciate your patience as readers. That being said, being the editor for a month was a pretty cool experience. It gave me a closer look into the h...

The cold seems to like us for as long as it is staying around. One does see some sun once in a while now though. This morning for the first time in quite a while the thermometer read 28 degrees ABOVE zero. It seemed nice but about noon it started to snow but only for a short time and the sun was out again. Rob is still kept busy plowing snow --we seem to have a little more falling on most days. It is hard to get around for all the snow piled up on the edges---no place to put it and you had better not get out too far and get into it, it is hard...
