  • Dodson News for January 13, 2021

    Eldora Henry, PCN Correspondent|Jan 13, 2021

    Terri Cole was in Malta on Wednesday on business. Polly Solberg returned home when her brother, Bert, took a slight turn better. On Thursday she received the news that Bert had passed away. We have had warm enough temperatures and wind to take a lot of our snow away. The last of the week we have had heavy frost, making the trees, all pretty and white but turning it colder again. We'll be looking for it to be warmer again. Our country hit a hard low blow on its honor last Wednesday when the...

  • Loring News for January 13, 2021

    Dixie Stordahl, PCN Correspondent|Jan 13, 2021

    The fog was the main thing weather wise this week and the frost that was left was amazing! The heavy frost on the power lines did create a few power outages!

  • HLRC Administrator Reflects on 2020

    Jan 13, 2021

    Wow! 2020 will be one of those years we’ll be talking about 20 years from now while rocking on our front porch, more than the winter 1978-79 or the winter of 2010 -11. How could one have known what 2020 held for the American public, and more importantly, the residents, families, and staff of Hi-Line Retirement Center. I was in Wisconsin in March when I received a phone call from the facility telling me Hi-Line Retirement Center was “locking down”, and would be in quarantine until future notice. I didn’t take it very seriously after all we alwa...

  • Our country should be better than this

    Jan 13, 2021

    Dear Editor, Honestly, I don’t know how to start this. This was shocking, to see a sitting president incite a mob to attack the Capitol Building of the United States of America. To hear the House Minority leader FAIL to condemn this action and those who brought it about (including himself). Is this what the Republican party now stands for, mob rule? I hear these mealy mouthed legislators whine and cry that their constituents have concerns and questions about the election. Those questions have been answered, in over 50 court cases those q...

  • I fear that it is only a matter of time

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Jan 13, 2021

    If I can hang on just a little longer, like magic it will be gone. My fears will vanish, and I’ll be able to stand proudly upright once again. In the meantime I’m terrified. I’m of an age that any day could be my last. As careful as I try to be I still slip up occasionally. Literally. And then I fall down. For 60 days I chased the dogs up hill and through dale, a loaded shotgun in my hands, safely navigating the uneven terrain. On the 61st I got my comeuppance. Following pheasant tracks in a...

  • Construction News for January 13, 2021

    David Veseth, PCN Correspondent|Jan 13, 2021

    One thing that I had the chance to do a week ago, was to see a crew taking down a grain elevator along US Highway 2. They took it down because it was falling down and unsafe. I brought some pictures down to the Phillips County News the other day. The pictures were of the school buildings that burned down in the Christmas Eve fire of 1995. I was nine-years-old when the old Malta Junior High and High School buildings burned down. I remember Tom Miller (Former Phillips County Sheriff) guarding...
