Having grown up on a farm in Northern Montana, I made plans to go into the Army early in high School. I was called to Vietnam when stationed in Germany, however getting to Vietnam from Germany turned out to be more than I had bargained for. I was allowed 30 days to get from Germany to Vietnam and my wish was to spend as much time with family as possible. Upon arriving in New Jersey, I discovered there was an airline strike in the US, so I spent a great deal of my leave aboard a bus traveling...
The 24th Annual Phillips County Health-Care Foundation Fundraiser Dinner and Auction is this Saturday at Malta City Hall and there are a few new twists this year.

Tickets for the event are $25 each and...
Who is Todd's Technology Store and what happened to RadioShack? These are two repeated questions surrounding downtown Malta since the RadioShack signs were changed to Todd's Technology Store at the end of October. First of all, the store everyone knows as RadioShack has had the legal business name of Todd's Technology Store, Inc. since it changed ownership from Dan's TV in 1999. Todd's Technology Store was a RadioShack Dealer Franchise Store and for the reason of name and brand recognition,...

It’s hard to believe there are too many elk. Hunters certainly aren’t complaining. Landowners, however, are. As a result, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks is considering expanding opportunities for hunters to kill elk. FWP proposes adding shoulder seasons before and after the current five-week general big game season. The extensions could begin as early as Aug. 15 and run no later than Feb. 15. The shoulder season would target antlerless elk on private land in an effort to red...
Dear Editor, Here is a meaningful way in which we can honor our veterans who are combat-damaged. We can call our congressional delegation (see numbers at bottom of this page) and insist that veterans who are injured or sick, as a result of combat, be cared for as quickly, and as thoroughly as possible. If many people would make such calls, on a monthly basis, the results would be a "telephone campaign" which would be hard to ignore. In war, there are no "winners"....only victims and survivors. Janice Roberts, Malta...
If you didn’t already know, 800,000 people took to the streets of Kansas City to celebrate winning the World Series. I’m going to give you guys a brief history lesson, bare with me. In 1963, Martin Luther King conducted the famous March on Washington. It was here that he delivered his famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech to an estimated 200,000 people. That’s right, nearly four times as many people massed for a trophy than for a calling to an end of racism. You could argue that it is much easier to organize a mass with the influences of modern techno... Full story
I have to say I’m proud of all of our high school sports teams. The season may not have ended with the coveted State Trophy but our schools have gotten a lot closer than many schools have this year. For there to be so many cross country runners to even make it to state this season was an encouragement. Second round of the playoffs for the football team and volleyball team? I’ll take it. Though the football season ended last Saturday, it was great to see the team going over their last film of...
