With the Primary Election just weeks away, politicking has ramped up in Phillips County and at last week's Malta Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting at the GN Lodgeroom, candidates took to the stump and introduced themselves. County Commissioner candidates Bruce Christofferson (incumbent), Darla Niebur and Randy Shores; Phillips County Sheriff and Corner Candidates Jerry Lytle and Bert Peigneux; and Phillips County Clerk, Recorder, Surveyor, and Auditor candidate Lynnel LaBrie all spoke at the...

Oscar Wilde once said, "conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative." One would then likely guess that the Irish poet and playwright never attended a National Weather Service Skywarn weather training course where the talk of weather, and the recent flooding in the area, was neither ho-hum nor hackneyed. Last year's drought, seven months of snow, and flooding around portions of Phillips County gave Patrick Gilchrist and Rex Morgan - from the National Weather Service in...
It has been a winter for the books in Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 6. After the summer of 2017 that was plagued by record drought conditions, the 2017-2018 winter will go down as the 2nd snowiest winter on record in Havre (92.5”) and the 3rd snowiest on record in Glasgow (63.2”) as of April 9. In addition, the month of February was the coldest on record since 1979, according to the National Weather Service. As we are finally moving into spring, many folks are wondering how a winter like this may affect small pond fish populations. Wi...

Dear Editor, I am encouraging everyone to thoroughly read the American Prairie Reserve (APR) website as well as its “sister” organization, the Friends of the American Serengeti (FoAS) website, an independent, tax-privileged organization in Germany that was formed to help provide funding for the APR. These two organizations have raised millions of dollars to buy land in Fergus, Petroleum, Phillips and Valley counties in Montana. Their next goal is to take down all of the fences on the BLM land they have leases on and have bison graze on the land...
1 years ago May 2, 1918 D. W. McNutt, who is stationed at Camp Lewis, has been recommended for a commission as second lieutenant after having been in the army six months. *** R. W. Garland donated a calf to the Red Cross auction scheduled for next week. That, in itself, it's not unusual, but this calf is pure white except for a large red cross on its right side. The calf has gained statewide fame. It has traveled to a Red Cross benefit carnival in Great Falls and requests for its exhibition...
I finally came back down to Earth this week. For the past four months, I’ve been walking on a couple feet of packed snow. Not everywhere, but certainly everywhere in my yard. Unless I wanted to wallow through three feet or so of unpacked snow, I stayed on the trails. The dogs made them. I improved them. And until the snow set up about a month ago, our travels in the yard were confined to them. It sure wasn’t my first rodeo. I learned years earlier to stay on the trails when there was snow on...
CHANGE A game of catch almost ended in a hospital visit for me. I am kidding but I was in pain for a day or two afterwards. Getting older at the ripe age of thirty is tougher than I thought. I remember when I was younger working at a Walgreen’s close to my childhood home that I first heard of Epsom Salt. I had no idea what that even was, so I asked a customer about it and he explained that it helps with muscle pain. I was a teenager and didn’t understand why this 30-something man needed to soak in salt. I get it now. Last week, I was mee...

We have exchanged all the snow we had for bare ground and lots of water in the outlying areas. Dodson itself is getting quite dry, it is surprising how fast the snow disappeared with a few warm days with the sun and wind. The river is full and over its banks in places, and Harlem and Chinook are flooding or surrounded by water. Dodson Creek is backing up toward Dodson as the river is too full to take it. Water was going over Highway 2 near the Old Pink Church on the reservation for several days...
