  • My Life at M.O.I.

    Dec 29, 2021

    Dear Editor, The My name is Saleena Davis and I am about to tell you about my life at M.O.I., which is also known as Malta Opportunities Inc. I moved into the group home in 2013. It gave me the opportunity to meet great staff and clients and to meet personal goals to succeed in life! There has been some good times and rough times! There are great staff and clients who have come and gone that I will truly miss! But there are still great staff who are still here to help us clients to succeed in life! So, like I said, I have been here since...

  • Response to Missing Person Case from 1981

    Dec 8, 2021

    Dear Editor and Readers, The November 3, 2021 newspaper had a letter to the editor about the 1981 disappearance of Barbara Louise Cotton. The article was interesting as Barbara was a 15 year old from Williston, North Dakota. As a parent, not knowing what happened to your child would be the worst heartbreak. My son Scott told me about a podcast he had been listening to concerning a missing girl from North Dakota. The podcast had several references to Malta and was indeed about Barbara Louise Cotton. If you are interested in learning more about...

  • Concerns about "Build Back Better" bill

    Dec 1, 2021

    Dear Editor and Readers, By now, I'm hoping some of you have called Senator John Tester's office and asked him not to vote for the Build Back Better bill. I have an update to report. I have been calling every couple of days just trying to talk to somebody, anybody. I know I'm making progress as I received a letter this past week. According to Tester, he's working with all members of congress because this bill is so freaking wonderful. Well, if you actually read anything at all in about what's in it, it's not. He has told me that this bill will...

  • Letter to the Editor for Wednesday, November 10, 2021

    Nov 10, 2021

    Dear Editor, It was the second week of March 2020, Sonia and I were in Janesville, Wisconsin attending a seminar on raising game birds. Something I thought would be fun to do in retirement. At the conference there were participants from all over the United States, Canada, France, England, Scotland, Ukraine, Belgium, and other European counties. We all piled on crowed tour buses, went out for meals in crowed restaurants. No mask, no thoughts or worries of COVID, life was good. By Friday afternoon, there were rumors of toilet paper shortages,...

  • This is not the country that we grew up in

    Oct 13, 2021
    1

    Dear Readers, I don't know if any of you are feeling like myself, but I feel like we're on a cliff and they're pushing us over the edge. Our country doesn't look or act like the country we grew up in. I'm tired of it and I think it is time for us to stand up and stop taking it. We need to know what they are teaching in our schools, what our government is passing, taking away, mandating. Our gov't just tried to pass a 3.5 trillion dollar bill, and it's not even that much money that is ludicrous, it's the fine print. They are dismantling our...

  • Update on the status of the Milk River Gospel Jamboree

    Mar 24, 2021

    March 11, 2021 Dear Editor, Two weeks ago, we had our second Milk River Gospel Jamboree meeting for this year. The main topic of discussion was the jamboree, that until 2020, we have held every year since 2001. Last year, the plague of 2020 hit! We had 5 groups scheduled from Canada and 3 from United States, including Tim Lovelace. We looked forward to great gospel music, performances that blessed, and some that could cause belly splitting laughter, all family friendly and most with a gospel message for all. But it was not to be. The issues...
