Recently the Montana Chairperson of the program has moved out of Montana and a new format was adopted for this year’s D...
At last week’s Malta City Council meeting, the painting of crosswalks at Malta Elementary and the possibility of lowering the speed limit, or perhaps inserting speed bumps, near the Cedar View Apartments was discussed. Crosswalk lines were painted by the Malta Publics Works team near Malta Elementary School earlier this month and then repainted by another group on the behest of the school’s staff. Malta Mayor Shyla Jones said the repainting of the crosswalk was done in the wrong color, i.e. yellow instead of white. Mayor Jones said the sch...

It was approximately game time as I exited the interstate and saw a seemingly majestic Washington-Grizzly Stadium. There was definitely an electric air of tension in my car as my stomach turned on the thought of seeing Tucker Schye on the field again. Nostalgia and excitement had me overridden with euphoria, I pulled up to the Motel 6, and see an equally excited Schye family patiently waiting to walk to the game with me. Throughout the past few days I had been thinking in the back of my head exactly what my intention as far as preparing this...

Though Kill Eagle is a state performer, the team may have a young standout in freshman Tyrese Messerly, who has been strong in basketball and track and field in...
