They say that after a while people begin to look like their dogs. I don’t doubt it. I’m just not sure which one. I suppose it depends on the day. While I’d like to think there are some similarities between me and Baby Ruth, I’m just kidding myself. She’s bright-eyed and full of energy, pays close attention to everything going on around her, and quickly gobbles up every last morsel of her food. Her teeth are sparkling white, her coat is shiny and her future is bright. That’s not me. Even on my...
Dear Editor, Hopefully we can open our wallets to help the victims of the hurricane - American Red Cross will gladly accept what ever you can spare. Too bad Trump had to do a Friday night news dump of continued poor judgment decisions, instead of focusing on the immediate tragedies developing. But that is the theme of a narcissist. Still waiting for the tweet telling he is quitting! Barbara Schlocker, Malta...

Operation Skywatch. Do those words ring a bell? Did you take part in Operation Skywatch? Were you a member of the Montana Ground Observer Corps? The volunteers that took part in GOC were an integral part of our nation’s defense plan. The idea that the open spaces of Montana might interest the Soviets in a surprise attack was a viable concern for the Air Force. To combat this problem volunteers across Montana were trained to identify silhouettes of all military planes and armed with telephones and binoculars. When an aircraft was sighted volunte...

The Dodson Coyotes Cross Country isn't training for the basketball season this year. For them, it is state or bust.

Coach Bloomer will be with her...
The Malta M-ettes Volleyball team made it to the Northern B divisional last season, only to see their hopes of making it to state end in an elimination game against the Cut Bank Wolves in Shelby.
