On Friday, Jan. 12, as the mercury was rapidly disappearing in the thermometers, what everyone was worried about…came to be. About 4 a.m. Mayor John Demarais received the first of several calls and text messages alerting him to their lack of power. The sheriff’s office also started receiving calls of the same issue. Like it was routine work as mayor, Demarais started to make plans to get the residents of Malta into shelter where they would be safe from exposure to the extreme cold. Demarais placed a wake-up call to PWD Jim Truelove and wit...

Following up on a desire that she had for quite some time, Valene (Kielb) Benson saw that dream come true when she opened "Spare Change" on June 1, 2010. Now, approaching her 14th year of proprietorship, she is glad she bought the business and she loves what she is doing. Recently the business expanded and added more room, and more inventory with a variety of products. Benson said she added more toys – which was a hit during the Christmas season. In the near future, plans are in the works to a...
Last weekend, Zortman's David Crasco walked out to his camper and discovered his RV's antifreeze froze despite the label showing -75°F. The real temperature did hit -40°F this weekend and after some research, Crasco found that it will in fact freeze but it is not supposed to expand which would cause the pipes to burst. Still, a funny reminder of how cold it was....

Dear Editor, Our Montana code has about 70-75 occupations where if one wants, they can go to the state and take an exam. When they pass the exam they can then be qualified by the state to do business under their certification. These certifications are essentially under the jurisdiction of the state legislature. Not so with becoming an attorney. To get that certification, one has to first graduate from an "approved by an American Bar Association" college or school. Then and only then can one take their Montana State Bar exam - from the MT State...
This must be why folks move to Arizona. For a few days now the temperature has hovered between barely survivable and colder-than-anyone-remembers. The minus 30 something I woke to this morning was a rerun of yesterday’s bitter cold. It’s been even colder in other parts of the state and I take solace in that. It’s seldom the case. Living on the Hi-line I’ve grown accustomed to the cold. I dress for it, donning long johns in October and not taking them off until spring, which up here means M...

Loring, and most of Montana, is experiencing very low temps, and a little snow. The weather had to be bad, the ballgames were postponed!

I’m taking it outside to blow some bubbles and see how they look in the freezing air. I probably will throw the boiling water into the frigid air and make snow! That one is dangerous because the water i...
Greetings from the North (rather, North Country) Pole. It snowed and turned c-c-cold! Whitewater, like most of Montana, is changeable. Again, Happy New Year 2024! On New Year’s Eve, the North 40 had a party with Chinese food as the special. It was very good! There were also sleigh rides for the children. Here is an excerpt from my dad’s book in 1909. Chapter XI New Friends - New School One day, in the summer of 1913, I was unloading hay at our place. I heard a noise and looked around. I saw wha...
