From as far away as Greece and France to as close as the D&D Quaker Box and $pare Change, Malta's Cleo Phillips' teapot collection has been acquired from across the globe and in many different ways. Phillips' collection lines the ceiling of her home in Malta, teapots sitting two-deep around the walls of her dining and living rooms, sitting atop shelves made especially for the mostly ceramic vessels. Though the shelves house hundreds of teapots, Phillips' collection – which totals somewhere a...
A sharp pencil, a ledger – and maybe a good eraser – where all accountants needed for many years as far as keeping tabs of the business was concerned. Those days are numbered it would appear. Last Thursday in the basement of the Phillips Count Public Library, the final of three adult education classes sponsored by nearly a half-dozen organizations was held and the topic for the classes was QuickBooks, accounting computer software which helps with business payments, managing and paying bills as...

After your turkey dinners, sleep in and don’t brave the crowds. Instead of fighting over an item, walk into your favorite Malta shop and enjoy a Home Town Black Friday.

The month of November are traditional times for the Phillips County Livestock Association (PCLA) and the Hi-Line Wool Pool to meet. Large carnivore predators were the focus of both meetings. For the PCLA, Dave McEwen noted that it changes your perspective totally when you have a situation thrust upon you like a grizzly bear attack. He noted that from where the bear killed the 54 sheep is only 160 miles from Malta. In just a few days’ bears could cover that distance, according to McEwen. McEwen a...
My exercise regimen is seasonal. While I get out and about year-round -- on my bike, in my kayak, tending my garden – it’s in the fall when I really get after it. Or so I thought. Modern technology burst my bubble. It turns out my inner pedometer isn’t quite as accurate as the Steps app on my phone. From September 1 through New Years Day I hunt more days than not. And hunting for me is almost always on foot. It’s where I’m most comfortable. I was never much of an athlete, but I could always wa...
Dear Editor, One million, 500 thousand plus (1,569,824 as reported by AP and still counting) voters went to the poles or sent in their votes by mail to participate in the 2016 presidential election. Both candidates continually reminded us to get out and vote. But do to an archaic system known as the electoral college the candidate with the lesser votes won the presidential election. Therefore not being the choice of the citizens of the United States eligible voters. Seems that those who always tell me my vote doesn't count anyway so why bother...
We began our service in the Montana legislature forty-six years ago when political differences were as real and sharp as they are today, but when the practice of politics wasn’t as political. Then there were old New Dealers who represented a viewpoint not unlike Bernie Sanders, and there were Barry Goldwater Republicans whose philosophy of the rugged individual would resonate with some of the Tea Party true believers of today. The similarity, though, may end there. The two of us recently invited our fellow former state legislators, legislative...
Before I moved here I had no idea that people had Thanksgiving parties before the week of Thanksgiving. I used to take pride in eating anyone under the table but when Susan, PJ and I went to my in-law’s Thanksgiving party I noticed I no longer hold the crown. I got through my first plate with a full head of steam, like old times … then the unexpected happened. My stomach signaled to my brain that I was full! In years past, I could make it through two or three plates of food and still have room for cherry cheesecake and/or peach cobbler. Thi...

1 years ago November 23, 1916 News from the South Fork hunters The hunting party which left Malta Friday arrived in camp on the South Fork all O.K. and are in the country of big game. No game yet except one small bear, and he was brought in alive by John Tressler and "Chick" Whitcomb. The bear left, alive, without the aid of either, or interruption.
