As anyone in Phillips County knows, if you have a question about anything prehistoric-related, Great Plains Dinosaur Museum and Fieled Station's Director of Paleontology Cary Woodruff is your huckleberry. So it makes sense the Public Broadcast Service's Emily Graslie took to the the road and started filming for "Prehistoric Road Trip" - a three-part series where Graslie travels across the western United States examining our planet's history - she found Malta's Woodruff. "I am one of the experts...
"We are so excited to announce our 20 year anniversary! Especially with the past six months that we have had, we couldn't wait to celebrate something positive!" said Avery Sorensen. Sorensen has been the manager for the store the past eight years, with each year presenting a new challenge. One consistent thing was that she could see the direction of online shopping headed in an upward trend and knew she had to jump in with both feet and hire an Assistant Manager to help manage the social media...
As Covid-19 disrupted much of our community's 2020 plans, this virus definitely disrupted our Mustang Gazette plans to attend U of M's annual High School Journalism Days event where our MHS' Mustang Gazette student staff members would attend workshops hosted by UM J-School faculty and where our Mustang Gazette 2019-2020 journalistic efforts would be judged against other Class B high school student submissions.

In case you hadn't noticed, the City of Malta is currently spraying for mosquitoes because, well, tis this season. That was reported during the City of Malta Public Works Director Jim Truelove's bi-weekly report to the City Council during which he also gave an update on the city-wide clean up going on around Malta, updates on the shower rooms at the Municipal Pool, doing so ahead of Malta City Fire Chief Greg Boos giving an update and need for work on the City's Number 2 Fire Truck.

We had one day of summer this week. The temps were in the ’90s as were the wind speeds! No, I jest. The wind was only 70 mph! Plenty hot and sucking the moisture right out of the ground! Last week I told you about the flycatcher nest in the rafters over my deck. The nest was on the ground again this week after the strong winds all night. I'm not sure if she'll rebuild at this date or not. Thank you to the kind souls who helped move the dirt to the churchyard to landscape! You are definitely one...
When historians see that their nation is in big trouble, facing the proliferation of protests that raise bedrock questions about American race relations, and locked in disputes over the proper pacing of “re-opening” after the regime of social distancing, it is time for people in my line of work to follow the example set by rodeo clowns and head straight into the epicenter of trouble. We are called to put ourselves at risk—thankfully only of scorned expertise and bruised egos. Once rodeo clown...
It’s finally Ace’s turn. At this time last year I still had four dogs. Two were old and retired from the hunt. One was a young up-and-comer, and then there was Ace, like Dwight Schrute, always a padawan never a Jedi. Ace hunted behind both Spot and Jem until they got old, but didn’t inherit the mantle of top dog when they quit. By then we had Baby Ruth and she quickly rose to the top of the heap. Ace didn’t seem to mind. Like all of us, he too, loved Baby Ruth. But she died last winter of canc...
I am glad to see that things are getting back to normal. With the potential threat that the COVID-19 virus presented, I understand why precautions were taken throughout the spring and through the early part of the summer, but it is good to see people being active again. I could only hope that the threat has been minimized. At the time that I wrote this, in Montana, there were 561 total cases of COVID-19 since it’s beginning and only 56 active cases, and seven hospitalizations. There were no a...
Gudrun Ann Bednarczyk, 77, of Missoula, passed away on Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at St. Patrick Hospital. She was born on Sept. 4, 1942 in Malta, to Lorraine and John Bednarczyk. She was raised on the family farm where she developed a strong sense of independence that continued throughout her life.

In Missoula she worked in commercial and private housekeeping services while raising her son as a single parent. She never owned a motor...

This week we have the story of Johnny Ritch another Phillips County character. Johnny rode into the town of Landusky in the glory days of the mining camp. During his first visit to Landusky, he lost his hat and cigarettes and came to several days later on a poker table, but he must have liked the town as he soon became a well-known citizen. Now Johnny had a bit of the reformer in him and had tolerable oratorical gifts. He was often called on to speak at funerals. The community of Landusky did take exception at a funeral for two local men who...

Having heard concerns about the economic impact of COVID-19 and being sensitive to uncertain and changing business dynamics, the Montana Fish & Wildlife Commission has postponed its June 12 meeting, during which it was to decide whether to put out for public comment a draft environmental assessment (EA) on alternatives for managing recreation on the Madison River. The Commission had scheduled the official meeting for Friday to consider the EA, but realized mitigating factors caused by the pandemic necessitate a change of course. The Commission...

Typically in golf, if your average goes up, things aren't looking good for the golfer, but this year's Malta Golf Camp at Marian Hills Golf Course added 19 new campers, which was exciting for Camp Leader and Malta High School Golf Coach Kate Webb.

Malta Golf Camp for students in sixth through twelfth...

The series featured barrel races as well as pole bending races. Though event one was held in the Milk River Pavilion, event two was moved outside to the Trafton Arena because it is summertime. "Jerey McEwen has done all of the work of getting the arena ready so that we could use it and get some events going on down here so we don't see the arena...
