Since the sun has finally started to shine, and grass around Malta will surely turn green again at some point, steps were taken to hire new lawn care professionals to maintain city parks and other areas around the area to replace Ken Ulrich, who did the work for years but passed away last December. The Malta City Council received three different bids by three different local companies for three different areas around town.

It’s always good to get home, even if there’s still snow on the ground. For the last few weeks, Barb and I were cruising through Europe on a riverboat. It was such a grand trip that I didn’t start missing Montana for three or four days. In this era of full disclosure, I must admit the boat was actually a luxury longship designed for river travel, a far cry from my first drift boat, a beautiful wooden craft made by Montana Riverboats. And it was certainly no pull-up-on-a-sandb...

The track season kicked off last Monday, April 16, for a couple of Phillips County teams, as they attended the Scottie Qualifier in Glasgow.

Teams couldn't see their snow-covered tracks, let alone practice on them. For Malta, Coach Tad Schye seemed optimistic about having indoor practice earlier this year, but he expressed a little concern last...

It is so nice to start seeing bare ground. The snow is settling and melting every day but it is supposed to get a little colder again and possibly rain.
