Of the 94 vehicles entered in Saturday’s 14th Annual First State Bank Car Show, a few cars had more sentimental value than others did and at least one made a return trip to Malta after being sold here in 1955. As long time Malta resident Ken Ulrich and former Malta resident Jon Bourassa strolled down the rows of vehicles at the car show, Bourassa stopped and told the story of how his blue and white 1955 Bel Air two-door sedan had a history with the town and how he came to own it after many years...
In the 10 years that the Phillips Transit Authority (PTA) has been operating in the county, it has given nearly half a million rides and traveled over half a million miles. On Wednesday, June 15, PTA is asking the public to come down to the Stockman Terrace in Malta from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. to help celebrate their 10th birthday. "Our Board members will be serving hot dogs, bottles of water and chips to celebrate that day," said Betty Hasler, Coordinator at PTA. "There will also be door prizes...
That wasn't thunder you heard late on Saturday night, but rather the booming bass guitar and double bass drum that shook the bleachers at the Milk River Pavilion when Metal Steel took the stage and rocked into the wee hours of the morning. Putting an exclamation point on a busy Saturday in Malta, Metal Steel – which boasts being the 'Ultimate Metal Tribute Band' – took the stage around 9:30 and played for the next three hours. If there is a Heavy Metal song you liked in the 80's, chances are...

Folks frequently say they prefer the company of dogs to people. I don’t see much difference. I get annoyed at both. It’s not even true that dogs are always glad to see you. Most of the time, sure, but catch Fido with his head buried in the garbage can and it’s a sure bet he’s wishing you were somewhere else. Same thing when you walk in on him lifting his leg on the recliner. That’s not a look of “I’m happy to see you” on his face. Some dogs like some people, don’t know when to shut up. The diff...
I recently had the privilege of visiting with a couple of ranchers from near the Grasslands National Park (NP) in Saskatchewan, Canada. I heard the amazing story that when cattle were removed from the park, the resident wildlife also left. The decline in grassland dependent birds was very noticeable. In particular, one rancher observed the sage grouse left when the cattle were removed. This rancher was subsequently contracted by the park to reintroduce his cattle to these over rested pastures. Amazingly, the sage grouse returned to the area...
On Flag Day, June 14, we commemorate the adoption of the American flag. For more than 200 years, Old Glory has served as a symbol of our nation’s freedom and as a source of pride for our citizens. In patriotic parades and musical salutes, we support our local military units and recognize the significance of the stars and stripes. Flag Day is also a time to honor our nation’s veterans who have served to protect the flag and the ideals it represents. With each ceremonial fold of the flag, we recognize the prin-ciples on which our country was fou...
I used to look forward to summer break as a kid. It was a time that dad used to pull out the grill, we would knock the dust off of our bicycles, go to the pool and hang out with friends outside of the classroom setting. So I can see why it’s fun for kids. But on the other end of the spectrum, I am not as geeked up about this joyous season. I’ve walked the hallways of the elementary, junior high and high school building this past week and it looked like the rapture happened. As far as sports go,...

Welcome Tri County Insurance Group to Malta. The PC Museum and Tri County have joined to bring a historic presentation to the PC Museum on June 11th at 10:00. Admission is free for this event.

Severely affected plants appear yellow and become confused with nutrient deficiency. Symptoms may appear on the edge...
1 years ago June 8, 1916 Wild West Written by Wallace D. Colburn, Malta's Cowboy Poet, now being featured in the movies by the Great Western Film Company Wild west, sweet ruler of the past, Whom I shall ne'er forget; To thee whose power once was vast, The lines I write and yet – E'en as I write I fain would look Upon the charms once more – As when in bygone days I took Advantage of the smiles you wore; But thou are gone and naught remain Oh thy sweet presence here, Except the subjects of the...

eam Up For Success In Creating A Healthier Life Some people have strong opinions about everything and no hesitation in sharing them, even when those opinions aren’t wanted. While that’s certainly not a formula for social success, many of us face a problem that’s quite the opposite – being hesitant to speak our mind and voice our opinions, even when invited to and when doing so could offer some real help. There may be many reasons why we’re reluctant to speak up. We may doubt the value of what we have to offer, or fear our views will be critic...

6-1. Big shout out to all the service men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. Thank you all! This week was a little damp, but I did not see any snow or hail, knock on wood!
