  • Lightning strikes

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Sep 11, 2019

    Lightning strikes in Phillips County have caused their fair share of chaos over the past few weeks and strikes started a fire in Dodson and tore bark from a tree in Malta last Wednesday. "I thought it hit the house," said Barbara Heinlein of Malta. "I've never heard anything that loud or that bright." The early morning lightning strike that hit a tree on the Heinlein home - located near the Old Gym - tore bark from the tree and left PCN Outdoor Columnist Parker with a large strip of wood as a...

  • P.C. Historic Walk held at P.C. Museum

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Sep 11, 2019

    Though chilly and rainy weather pushed the Phillips County Historical Society’s Historic Walk inside the Phillips County Museum for the second time in three years, last Sunday’s event drew a nice crowd to hear reenactors portraying some of the areas forefathers and mothers. A total of nine reenactors — four adults and five youths — were staged around the Phillips County Museum for guests to listen to the stories of early-day residents retell their stories. On the children’s side,...

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Sep 11, 2019

    After 43-years as a banker, Malta's Gary Howell will retire from his president position at First Security Bank, but last Thursday the financial institution held a party complete with cake to send the boss off into the sunset. "My last day will probably be next week sometime though it hasn't been officially set yet," Howell said ahead of the party. Howell started his finical career with the Alaska USA Credit Union at the age of 24 after graduating with a degree in business from the University of...

  • Taco Time at the Malta Senior Center

    Sharon Kindle, PCN Correspondent|Sep 11, 2019

    You heard right, it’s TACO TIME at the Malta Senior Center, Saturday September 21, from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., with a free will offering to continue to raise monies for the window installation. The group is offering fry bread for tacos or soft shell, whatever your preference plus all the toppings to tantalize the taste buds. The idea for Indian Tacos came from board member Marlyn Orahood, former educator, three years ago as area schools celebrate Native American days to instill the traditions in the students and remind people of their he...

  • Phillips County Museum News for September 11, 2019

    Lori Taylor, P.C. Museum Curator|Sep 11, 2019

    Walking through our doors this week was a 1948 Malta High School Annual called “The Prairie Wind”. Inside the annual I found many of the student activities were similar to 2019 student activities. However, I did find a new club that was formed called “The Red Cross Council”. Amazingly it had 100 percent enrollment of the junior and senior high – and before you ask – it was not mandatory! The purpose of the club was to stimulate Red Cross activities and help with the Senior Red Cross activities in the county. President was Tom...

    Pat Murdock, PCN Correspondent|Sep 11, 2019

    Jenny and Pat Murdock spent last weekend in Silcia, west of Billings, Mont., to watch Kathleen (Murdock) Carleon of Kadoka, S.D., barrel race. She did well with her two horses Herbie and Itchy, which she trained herself. Carli (Olsen) Simanton also barrel raced. I think they both went home with a little spending money. Lynn and Bruce Hill spent the Labor Day holiday at their annual Church Camp in Zortman. Pat and Scott Anderson also went to the Little Rockies during Labor Day with their daughter, Jamie, husband Jake Obie and their small son,...

    Helen Austin, PCN Correspondent|Sep 11, 2019

    9-4. It’s September so happy birthday to all September birthdays including Dixie Moore. Labor Day weekend there were a lot of activities in Phillips County. First the Milk River Wagon Train celebrated 50 years of traveling the trails by horse and wagons. This year there were lots of wagons, surreys, beautiful horses, and riders. Riders from Whitewater included Mark Lageson, some of the Anderson families, and Janice Reichelt. Good riding and driving. There were wagons driving and there were...

  • Is that even fair?

    Sep 11, 2019

    Dear Editor, Note to Malta house or lot owners: The City of Malta charges water, sewer, and or garbage, even if the house is vacant and even if there is no house or building on the lot! Is that fair? I don not think so. Do you? Also, the county can condemn your house and confiscate said house, without your consent. This is totally wrong, don’t you think so? A homeowner’s house is his or her home and castle! (I’m not the only one who says this.) If you agree, write to city, county and me and I will put it in the news. Helen Austin,...

  • Mosquitoes, wind better than hurricanes

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors columnist|Sep 11, 2019

    My cousin promised to call when Dorian hits. He said he’ll hold the phone outdoors so I can hear the storm. While we experience a lot of severe weather in Montana, thank goodness hurricanes aren’t on the menu. They seem to be a very high price to pay for the luxury of living in a warmer clime. When Barb and I moved to Malta nearly 15 years ago we were warned by the locals about the mosquitoes, the cold, and the wind. The mosquitoes – it turned out – are truly beyond compare, swarming the...

  • Brand new second shoes

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Sep 11, 2019

    I did something strange a couple of months ago and it paid off! I bought a pair of second hand Jordan IV Retro shoes for $40. These shoes have clearly seen better days. They are scuffed up and have pen drawn in where the paint has chipped off. I have a newer pair of shoes that I bought, but they are now designated as shoes I would wear at nice events because they were kept in mint condition. The first shoes that I mentioned are classified as beaters or shoes that are beat up and thus suitable...

  • Malta construction updates with David Veseth for September 11, 2019

    David Veseth, PCN Construction Reporter|Sep 11, 2019

    Over Labor Weekend Day a new step was installed at the Boys and Girls Club in Malta by Ray Harms. I believe Malta Ready Mix helped with the job as well. At the MOI, they have been working on the plumbing in the bathrooms. Rumor has it that the laundromat will be opening by November, though nothing is yet official. I watched workers at the Villa Theatre put in new glass in the front doors as the old glass was somewhat worn out and broken. I also got to watch Aron and Christina Riggs do some...

  • Malta Ducks Unlimited Banquet makes conservation happen

    Sep 11, 2019

    Through word-of-mouth, attractive conservation programs and hard work by ranchers over the last couple of years, Ducks Unlimited and partners have created a complex south of Dodson that includes more than 11,000 acres of protected wetlands and grasslands. At the same time, the protected acres are still in agriculture and the majority are in private ownership. "DU and our partners are in the business of keeping ranchers in business," Bob Sanders, DU manager of conservation programs for Montana...
