On Wednesday, September 23, prior to classes beginning, a phone message was discovered on the voice mail at the Malta Elementary School in the form of gun violence. The Phillips County Sheriff's Office was called and the collective decision was made to cancel classes for the day. Following already established protocol both the high school and elementary were placed into a lockdown and classes were canceled. Although the investigation is ongoing, the call was deter-mined to be a prank and...
One of a half dozen topics discussed at the Tuesday night Malta City Council meeting was the possibility of hiring a person to be a compliance officer for Malta. Malta Mayor Shyla Jones and the City Council have been discussing the idea for the past severals month and Mayor Jones said she recently talked with Phillips County Justice of the Peace Gayle Stahl and reported that Judge Stahl thinks the idea worthy of pressuring. “She says we need to get some accountability out there and right now we have none,” Mayor Jones added. The Compliance Off...
On Thursday morning, it will be legal to drive faster on most parts of Montana Interstates, but in Phillips County, the speed limit is unchanged. “The speed limit changes only affect interstates,” said Matt Ladensburg, Maintenance Chief at Havre’s Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). “I-15, I-90 and I-94 are the only interstates in Montana.” In May, a bill was signed into law that allows speed limit changes from 75 miles per hour (mph) to 80 mph, according to MDT, and the law will become effective on October 1, 2015. MDT also stresses...
Losing a dog always hurts, especially when it’s your first dog. Rosie was my first. An Irish setter cross, she was big and black, terrified of thunder, and addicted to garbage. She died when I was in junior high. Dad told me she’d been hit by a car. It wasn’t until years later that he told me the truth. She had been kicked to death by our next-door neighbor Mr. Ruschmeier, who caught her doing her business in his yard. My folks feared that had I known the truth at the time I would have sough...
Many of you may know my friend Della Shipp, she is a 2015 graduate from Glasgow. Please keep her family and father Wayne in your thoughts and prayers. Wayne was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this January, and passed away September 26. He was an avid fan of MMA, and that makes all sorts of sense, because Della is a livewire. She would be the first to agree with me on that. His favorite quote after being diagnosed was “Rock On”, which inspires me because of his can-do outlook on life. He taught an attitude of hard work, respect, and kicking bu...
I’m a pretty superstitious guy when it comes to sports. I couldn’t tell you why I re-fuse to get off of the couch until halftime during Bears games or why I have to have seltzer with lime as my beverage of choice. I do know that since I have strayed from certain rituals the Bears have been terrible. That couldn’t be my fault, could it? There are a matter of reasons why the Bears have been playing horrible, but I have to say after the defense stood tall to the NFC champion Seahawks last Sun-day (...
Dear Editor, David and I are delighted that so many Malta folks have commented on his sunflowers growing along Central Avenue. We are more than happy to help beautify the Malta community, and we are glad that folks enjoy watching his flowers grow.

We would like to thank the secret flower judge who took the time to tie the ribbon to his flower. A big thank you to whoever...

Before becoming the Blacktail Ranch it was known as the Rittel Brothers Ranch, run by the four sons of Gus Rittel.

“Community” it is what has made Phillips County a great place to live for 100 plus years. Looking though our historic resources the pattern repeats again and again.

The PC Museum is host to many visitors throughout the year and in the course of business answer many travel related questions. Visitors staying overnight in Malta are looking for ways to fill their evening hours. The walking...
