What started as a 1,133-word essay penned by Emma Cole, Dodson High School freshman, in her spare time, resulted in a trip to Las Vegas, Nev., and a spot at the largest American Indian Food Growers conference in the country. As the months waned in 2019, a call went out for high school students to submit essays on Agriculture and at the behest of her mother, Jennifer Perez Cole, Emma spent an evening researching and writing a paper titled "The New Old Crop of Agriculture" - an essay on Native...

They have finished with the new addition at the Snider house's east side near the Malta Elementary School but will be starting some new remolding work in a month on the west side. I will keep you updated. At Hillcrest, workers continue to build near the home of the Booths and the walls have been put up for a new garage. Hopefully, next week, I will be able to report that the concrete foundation at the new National Guard Armory building has started to be poured. Lastly, a month ago, Patrick...
I refuse to think of myself as elderly, however a recent situation made me think otherwise. It was eight years ago I started thinking of retiring from teaching as I was getting more second-generation students in my classroom. How could that possibly be? I had spent several decades striking fear into the hearts of students in Washington D.C., Bozeman, Mont., St Louis, mo., and then finally here to Malta. Recently I was attempting to cross one of Malta’s many snow packed and icy streets to finish my Christmas shopping. Since I am now battling a...
Ranchers running livestock on federally managed lands are facing a major taking of which few appear to be aware. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has filed thousands of water rights with the Montana Department of Natural Resources (DNRC). The problem is these filings conflict with the vested water rights of the allotment holders. Montana is a prior appropriation doctrine state which means, 'first in time, first in right' (miners' law). Most of the ranches using federal lands were established long before the BLM came into existence. Montana...
On January 1, 2020, I had my first pop since December 31, 2009. Ten years! I made it and I know it’s not polite to pat yourself on the back, but it was a tough thing for me to do. For those who don’t know, Mountain Dew was a vice for me. There was a time that I would slam a two-liter of Dew in the span of a couple of hours. According to reference.com, a two-liter bottle of the aforementioned beverage has roughly 9.7 ounces of sugar in it and a grand total of 276 grams. One 20-ounce bottle of...

Happy New Year 20020! We should all pray for peace on earth. Sympathy to all victims of war everywhere and their families. New Year’s Eve, there was a great party at North 40 in Whitewater. There were lots of snacks and wonderful music. The music was provided by the Crossroads Band which includes Vince "Span” Mace, Gordy Faaborg, Riley Abrahamson, and two others (I will get their names soon.) The music was great and some of it was Country. Pam Abrahamson, Janice and Curt Reichelt, and oth...

Because of the generosity of the community, the Malta Senior Center is continuing to update the facilities. The latest is LED lights on the exterior replacing the dated 1960 era fixtures. We also have an exterior outlet for our Christmas tree and lights eliminating the 'extension cord' fixture. New ballasts were installed in some of the center's ceiling so the interior is completely lit making it easier on the eyes for the card and bingo players. Remember Nina Jones begins bingo playing Friday...

The Dodson Coyotes opened the decade with back-to-back blowout victories as the team made short work of the Turner Tornadoes and Nashua Porcupines last weekend. “We played good defense and offense,” senior captain Shaun Ball told the PCN. Senior co-captain Corbin LoneBear echoed Ball’s words. “We were just going hard on defense,” LoneBear said. “We tried to press them to get them confused and after that, we would go at them, drive-in, and attack.” The team is off to a great start and with Ball...

The Snowy Owls are interesting to watch. They sit on a post very quietly, just turning their heads every so often! But as soon as I start taking pictures of them it seems they know and take flight! Cindy Clark stopped by to see my Christmas tree on Monday. We had a nice visit and as she was leaving, Janice Erfle was knocking at my door to come in and have a cup of tea. Patty Pollack and, Kylee visited Dixie Stordahl and brought her some jigsaw puzzles to put together! They must have heard that...
