One of the most notable events that took place on the Hi-Line during 2015 was the 100th anniversary of the Phillips County Fair, Montana's longest running fair. A far less publicized anniversary, but something that deserves recognition, is the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Fort Browning two miles southwest of the Dodson fairgrounds. In 1868 the U.S. Government built a trading post/agency for the Gros Ventre (A'aninin). The buffalo were numerous in this area at the time. The site...
William Crowder's 27 years as a member of the Malta City Council came to a close at the last meeting of 2015 and last Tuesday he was honored with a retirement party featuring cake, beverages, about 30 people and a plaque which stated: "Thank you for 27 years of service to the City of Malta, your dedication is appreciated. January, 1988 to December, 2015." Malta Mayor Shyla Jones thanked Crowder for his four decades of service to Malta and said she had learned a lot from him, starting as far back...
The Phillips County Whist League is set to start this Sunday (January 10) and those in charge are still seeking more competitors for the three months of play. “Nobody has called me lately,” admitted Jerry DePute, one of the three Phillips County residents heading up the league. Depute said the idea of the league was floated to the board members at the Malta Senior Citizens Center by Roger Ereaux to see how they felt. “We play whist every Tuesday and we thought it would be fun to a whist tournament going,” DePute added. Whist is played with tw...

I was ready to be done. Put the guns away. Rest my weary bones. I’ve been hunting since September. Back then it was easy. Crawl out of bed at dark-thirty. Get dressed. Heat the coffee. Load the dogs in the truck and hunt for a couple of hours before it got hot. The easy hunting lasted into November, but the seasons didn’t really change until recently. Now it’s winter. The high today is supposed to be in the mid teens. It’s snowing. The appeal of the warm house is undeniable. But there are onl...
Hello friends, family, and Phillips County I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed holiday season! I got the opportunity to spend Christmas and New Years in Malta. Initially, I believed my time would be spent sitting around the house and playing basketball with the girls. This was not the case. I have caught up with more classmates in the past two weeks than I have in the years since we graduated. I have understood since childhood that you gradually grow apart from the friends you make before graduation. However, I never realized how...
It’s around this time of year I get a real hankering for Mountain Dew. If you know me then you know that my vice used to be a certain neon colored drink made by Pepsi-Co. It wasn’t just the original flavor that tickled my fancy, it was the orange flavored Livewire, the purple colored Pitch Black and red Code Red Mountain Dew flavors that I craved. I get the craving because on December 31, 2009, I gave up pop with the intention of not drinking it until 2020. In other words ten years. Many of you...

It’s New Year’s Resolution time, or more accurately, time for setting big life changing goals and then soon discovering you’re probably not going to reach them. Why? Because most of us tend to think too big. Stop smoking...lose weight...make it to the gym more often. While these are all good goals to aim for, achieving success can be difficult since that often means major life changes. It’s fairly easy to say “I want to give up cigarettes,” or “I’m going to drop 30 pounds this year,” but actually making those things happen requires some drastic...
