Benjamin F. Stevens was born in Iowa in 1862. That same year the Montana Territory was experiencing the discovery of gold and the establishment of the Homestead Act. These events would shape the State of Montana and inspire Benjamin's fascination with the western frontier. After reaching the age of seventeen, "Ben" imagined Montana would provide more excitement and better opportunities. He began making his way westward with several of his own horses and engaged in the freighting business with...
Though most of the record-setting snow that hit portions of Montana last weekend missed Malta, the threat of blizzardy conditions were enough for the folks at Westside Self-Service to pull the plug on the End of Summer Block Party that was to feature musical guests Plowed Under. But that didn’t stop the Westside crew from hosting their planned “Kidz Dance” celebration, moving the event from the service station's parking lot and into a nearby pole barn. “We will hopefully have Plowed Under b...
The following statement is an observation that my wife, Julie, and I made at the Charles M. Russell Wildlife Refuge located in North Eastern Montana. We put it on Facebook and it received over 400 shares. It is information on a topic that needs to be discussed. This is EXTREMELY important for our rural farming and ranching communities. “So Julie and I spent the last couple of days at the Slippery Ann Wildlife viewing area in our fifth-wheel trailer having wine, eating Elk burgers, watching Elk, well, make Elk burgers!!! Had a wonderful relaxing...
My picture was on the front page of the local paper last week. It’s something I try to avoid. I prefer to fly under the radar. The mug shot that accompanies my column no longer looks like me and I’m fine with that. I’d rather be incognito than recognized. I get a sinking feeling in my gut whenever someone asks: ”Hey, aren’t you …?” despite the fact that most of the time folks have something nice to say. It’s those occasions when they don’t that have me seeking anonymity. The picture that grac...
It took me a whole two years, but I finally went out to Nelson Reservoir to fish. I almost forgot how nice Nelson was, though I typically get a weekly reminder from our area’s athletes. When I ask kids where their favorite spot in Phillips County is, a majority of times they respond “Nelson.” After my trip a couple of weeks ago, I remembered why Nelson was so awesome. Nelson was one of my first impressions with the Phillips County Area seven years ago. Bottom Bouncing was one of the first skills that I had learned since moving from the Chica...

Friday heralded the first winter storm for this fall and it proved to be a quite severe one. Dodson received lots of wind and rain and wet snow mixed into the rain but other places in the state were hit hard and had accumulations of snow. On Sunday afternoon the snow did turn to large dryer flakes and covered the ground lightly for a little while. Other places had an accumulation of snow that stayed. God be with the people who had livestock and those who still had crops to harvest. Hopefully,...
Wow! This will be a September to remember! Lots of snow, wind, rain and pretty much a mess for the ranchers and farmers! The snow was so wet and heavy that it broke two branches off my trees! It made me sad, but happy they didn't fall on my house! I went over to Whitewater on Tuesday, visited Lu Besel and Jeanie Green. Then I went over to the volleyball game against Malta junior high! The North Country Mavericks won both games! I was pleasantly surprised at how improved the junior high girls...

On September 26, Sue Winstead came into Saco School to do an amazing hands-on project with grades 2-5 to celebrate Johnny Appleseed's Birthday. They made apple pies! Each student was carefully guided in peeling their apples, cutting them to bite sized bits, rolling their own dough, to even crimping the crust. They then had to patiently (or not so patiently) wait for their personal pies to bake and then to devour afterwards. This is a birthday to remember! Thank you to Sue Winstead, Felicia...
