In over nearly 35 years as an educator, Malta’s Scott King has earned many accolades and achieved things that even he didn’t dream of. That said, Principal King knows that success is bigger than one person. “This is about our community and doing the things that are right,” Principal King said. “This is about all the wonderful organizations we have at Malta Schools and all the people who are involved making it a great place to learn and go to school.” In mid-January of this year, King, Malta...
Once again, Malta's Blue Vests are on the job at the Basketball Tournaments. To get a better idea about who the Blue Vest are and what they do, Sharon Young offered the following information. The "Blue Vest" program in association with the Malta High School has been in existence for well over a decade. This program is sponsored by the Malta Area Chamber of Commerce and was designed as a community service project to assist Malta High School during tournaments. We assist with crowd control, taking...
A quick stroll through the Malta Elementary Auditorium last week quickly showed that the school’s students like to wear their thinking caps and the said caps hold some powerful minds. The school’s annual Science Fair concluded last Wednesday with an awards ceremony – the day before that nearly a dozen volunteer judges were treated to the nearly 50 exhibits -- and the house was packed. Rachel Mortenson, who has organized the Science Fair for the last 10 years, was pleased with how every...
I, David Score, raise Registered and Commercial Black Angus Cattle. I have been involved in livestock my whole life. As I grew older, I have had the opportunity to help many area cattle producers. I have learned many things by watching the older generation of ranchers and applying the information I like into my program. I started in agriculture with 4-H. I lived within the city limits of Malta, but was blessed by Dr. Ann Johnson, DVM, who allowed me to have my 4-H projects at her clinic. I...
A few days after returning from Seattle where I had a skin cancer removed, my wife showed me the wrist bands I’d worn during surgery. One bore my name and date of birth, the other -- a police-tape-yellow number -- read simply “FALL RISK.” At first I was insulted that anyone would consider me at risk of tipping over, even in an impaired state. After giving it a bit of thought, however, I realized I’ve always been a fall risk. Not that I often fall, but I’ve lived a life where much of the time...
Dear Editor, A friend of mine was doing volunteer work at the Montana Historical Society and forwarded this article (below.) I thought you might like to republish it as it has so many names of old residents. I left Malta in 1957 and recall sitting at the airport with Bernie Sandlie and Harry Whitcomb as they put in time for Skywatch. We played cards and Chess and they watched the sky. Great old memories. Regards, Tom Harrison, Surprise, Ariz. 65 observers get Wings for Skywatch Activities Phillips County News, March 3, 1955 The silver wings of...
This month, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a nationwide stay on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPAs) new regulations on coal-fired power plants. This decision provides states like Montana – and over half of the states in our nation – relief from these overreaching and misguided regulations while they are being challenged in court. These latest EPA regulations are part of the Obama administration’s relentless attacks on affordable energy and good-paying Montana jobs. The federal government’s misguided plan would lead our country i...
I never have been a fan of writing. That being said, I love my job for a number of reasons. I am a fan of sports. I love photography. I love trying to be a positive influence in the lives of students. Every once in a while I get a chance to travel. I also love meeting new people. I found a new reason for loving my job. Every once in a while you meet someone famous. My first experience was meeting Brian Urlacher last year in Great Falls. Last weekend I met a news anchor I see almost every...

The Coyotes lost out in the tournament this weekend after losing games to Luster-Christian and then North Country and the Lady Coyotes won their game with Luster-Christian but lost against North Country, putting both teams out of the tournament. Thanks for playing hard kids. We have had some light rain and the warmer temperatures and all the wind we have been having has taken our snow and made it very muddy and messy.

Homicides are the centerpiece of any number of TV shows. Media stories often spotlight killings that occur around the country. And yet there is a much more common cause of death that receives relatively little publicity - suicide. Suicide is actually the 10th most common cause of death in the U.S. (homicides rank number 17). For young people, ages 15 to 24, it actually is the second leading cause of death. Yet most of us are unaware of the signs to look for when someone close to us may be contemplating suicide. That's especially important...
