They came in bright, shiny, polished and in their prime…and some were even older that those viewing them. As the 21st Annual First State Bank Car Show livened up, the spectators flocked to admire the years and experience that has gone into restoration of the classics and gems. Not all the vehicles were antique; there were also classics, dragsters, trucks and even a 2023 Corvette…several of which was posted a note: “Unless you are naked, don’t sit on this car!” Yes, they are the pride and joy,...

Debbie Henry was fishing from shore with her family at Nelson Reservoir over the Memorial Day weekend when she noticed one of the fishing rods begin to severely bend in its holder. After over 10 minutes of fighting the fish, with it nearly spooling her line and dealing with a broken net, she was able to land the new state record Smallmouth Buffalo! The behemoth tipped the scales at a whopping 40.0 pounds! The old record was 38 pounds, also caught at Nelson Reservoir, in 2007. Congratulations to...
Last Wednesday, May 31, the GN Lodge Room became a venue of remembrance of a Malta man, Harry A. Paulson, who tragically passed away while doing his job on August 6, 1970. Several of Paulson's children, their family and family friends celebrated as the overpass two-miles east of Dodson was named after him. The Official name is the Harry A. Paulson Memorial Overpass. Paulson was tragically struck by a vehicle while doing his job for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), of mowing the si...
Dear Editor, With all the checks and balances ingrained in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it is incomprehensible how one election is totally destroying the foundation of our very successful republic. Wayne Hage, in his book 'Storm over Rangelands', extensively documented how the eastern industrialists coveted the natural resources of the western states and since the 1880's had been using the federal government to keep these resources out of the hands of the western settlers (i.e. forest reserves, retained mineral rights, etc.)....
They say money doesn’t buy happiness. Apparently it doesn’t buy fish either. I own a fishing boat with all the bells and whistles. It has three motors, sonar, and GPS. There are a dozen rods in the on-board locker, drawers filled with every lure on the market, and a live-well big enough to hold me. There’s even a retractable yard stick to measure all those fish I don’t catch. Before I could afford such a craft, however, I fished out of more modest boats and caught more fish. My most successful t...

1 yrs ago June 5, 2013 Cars will be the word this weekend, as the 11th Annual First State Bank Car Show and the Phillips County Motor Sports converge on the town.

From parked perfectly, all a glisten and a glow...the limelight moved from the Car Show on Front Street on Saturday, June 3, across the canal to the outskirts of town to the dragstrip. Surrounded by sound barriers of various trees at the east entry, the drag opened the gates for the first of a season of dragster competition of the year. AND OPEN THEY DID! Montana style. The colorful array of entries made for eye-catching views as the cars raced usually in pairs, to speeds over 100 mph getting...
On Wednesday, May 10, Malta senior Kaden Bishop signed a letter of intent to continue his golf career at Dickinson State University, becoming the first Mustang golfer to do so since Gordon Webb in 2008. Bishop, the son of CJ and Karey Bishop, recently placed ninth at the State B Men's Golf Meet in Shelby. During the signing event, in which nearly every Malta senior was present, Bishop was asked why Dickinson State University? "I was looking at their golf scores and realized that I could fit in...
Do you ever wonder about the pilot in the Caption’s seat while you settle in for your flight, wherever it may take you? One pilot ‘entered through the back door’ so to speak as he started in Navy flight school graduating college and then flew F/A-18 fighter jets. He saw four different theaters and eventually became a Navy test pilot. Flying the dynamic nature and complexity of military ops prepared the pilot to be one of the best commercial pilots. He knew how a ‘holding’ pattern, thunderstorms or turbulence can affect passengers having co...

Sympathy for the immigrants and homeless people who have no place to go. Sympathy to the family of Terry McMullen. He was raised in Whitewater. Ray McMullen was his brother. Bonnie McMullen was his sister-in-law. On Memorial Day, some went to the Veterans Parade and BBQ lunch in Malta. Others went to the lake (Nelson Reservoir). The water is high enough to go boating, but probably cold for swimming. Sleeping Buffalo pools were full too. Memorial Day we remember all those who died, especially in...
This week has been wonderful with all the special birds I’ve heard and seen! A red-headed Flicker, which is similar to a woodpecker, flew into my trees one day. An oriole was singing away in my Cottonwood tree early one morning along with house wrens, kingbirds, robins, and meadowlarks! Plus, one day in the museum I got to visit with several birders from around the country! My friend Fran left on Friday on her way to visit Gene Compton and then on to Seattle to get on the ferry for the trip t...
No writing made it into the paper last week, so we'll start again. The main item last week was the lady attacked by the Pit Bull. Haven’t heard anything but hope she is doing well. Memorial Day has passed one more time. The cemeteries looked good although it looked like there were fewer flowers around as usual. This could have been caused by all the rain showers----we put ours down in the rain! My daughter said she guessed she wouldn't melt. Our condolences to all who have lost loved ones l...
