Though the Bank of Malta's Santa Open House wasn't slated to begin until 6 p.m. last Monday night in Malta, parents and children were lined up down the block and visiting Saint Nick ahead of schedule and before the Parade of Lights could make its way through downtown. Kim Hinkson, a six-year-old who moved to Malta from Texas a year ago, was one of the many children in line to visit Santa and while she waited, she pondered what she was going to ask for this Christmas. "I am excited because I...

The late maturing crop coupled with extremely wet and wintery conditions this fall have extended harvest for producers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Eric Bashore, Director of RMA’s Billings Regional Office, reminds producers who have Federal crop ins...
The weather on Black Friday in Phillips County was somewhat frightful, but the smell of coffee brewing coming from Milk River Mocha was oh so delightful. Milk River Mocha owner Janessa Salsbery and employee Jade Melmend worked both sides of the coffee kiosk drive-thru windows as two of the County's newest baristas filled orders early on Black Friday. Milk River Mocha - a stone's throw from the Milk River - is a small beige building conveniently pinched between Westside Self-Service and the...

The Glasgow York Rite Masons were started in the first part of the 20th century.

My 12-year-old grandson Isaac shot a good muley buck earlier this month. I hope it doesn’t spoil him. In an effort to get young people interested in hunting, the state, along with a number of hunting organizations, offer special deals for kids. Youth hunts are scheduled before the opening of pheasant, waterfowl and the general big game seasons so that young hunters can experience the sport for the first time without the competition of others in the field. The weather is also typically a bit m...
I don’t even know the words of Eric Carmen’s All By Myself, but I know the most important part of the song… The hook. Those words ran through my head as I found myself without my family on Sunday night, as Susan, PJ, and Lincoln headed to Sidney with her parents. Poor PJ had to get his tonsils and adenoids removed because of the size of his tonsils. It was because of his tonsils that PJ would hold on to colds longer. This year it got so bad that despite the doc-prescribed cold medicine and h...
