On 01-11-2023 Blaine County Deputies were doing traffic control for a vehicle that had slid into the ditch on US Highway 2 at mm 409. Deputies advised that the road conditions were too dangerous to continue with the vehicle that was in the ditch and out of traffic. As they were attempting to get traffic moving again a pickup truck that was traveling westbound struck a stock trailer that was being pulled by another pickup truck. One of the Deputies ran to check on the driver in the pickup pulling the stock trailer. The driver was uninjured. The...
One day, in October, before Halloween, I got to watch the City of Malta tear down a pink house across the street from the Phillips County News in Malta. Besides that, when I was there I could even watch the machine and steam shovel tearing the building down. Now the lot is empty and we all wonder what will be put there. They took the old house down because it was falling apart. For Christmas, I went down to Billings and went to a Christmas Day Service on Sunday, December 25....
Dear Editor As most of you know Hi-Line Retirement Center in Malta closed early last fall, partly because Medicaid did not reimburse the facility the cost for skilled long term care per resident per day that it costs. At least ten others in the state have closed, with several others just barely staying open unless the state can increase the amount of reimbursement, those will close. Daryl Toews, former state senator from Lustre, Mt. wrote a letter to the Phillips County News the end of August concerning this issue. I wrote to him and he called...
Dear Editor While traveling the highways between Saco and Malta, you can't help but notice all the antelope on the north side of the highway. I was thinking about them, and the game we have now and what I can remember as a boy in the 1940s. There were no deer. There were no antelope. I never saw an antelope where I was raised south of Saco until the late 40s, maybe even 1950. I have no idea if antelope came down from Canada, in the hard winter of 49 and 50, I know I never saw them, there weren't any deer either. The BLM land in South Valley...
My wife tells me I need a special counsel. Apparently, she’s fed up with all the documents I have stored in the basement of her office. She insists a special counsel is necessary to move all of my important papers to a Dumpster in the alley. I’m pushing back. This is important stuff. Since entering the newspaper business in 1985, I’ve kept a lot of paper. Boxes of newspapers, photographs, correspondence, and media guides are stored neatly in the basement of the old telephone company build...
Some of you know I am an individual of few words, quiet, and hard to engage in a conversation with. Yet, here I am, working with the capable and accomplished staff of the PCN. Thank you to all who have reached out with text, email messages, cards and letters as to my working within this capacity. There are those of you who have stated it took me a while to “find my niche” – my “calling” as it has been stated. It was a long way around to get here…I believe this was my fourth, if not fifth, time for applying at PCN. (Whew, you were spared!) Ju...

Sympathy to all the flood victims in California and other places. Get well to Pat Murdock of Whitewater. She was in Billings but is home now. Sympathy to the family of Annaleise Harms who passed away in Shelby. She was a resident of the Hi-Line Retirement Home until it closed.

They came a long way to kill coyotes, who are almost starving...

We have had a week of fog and therefore frost! It makes some pretty designs! But it also plays havoc with the power lines. The longest the power was off at my house was 1⁄2 hour. I know that some people were off a lot longer than that. But kudos to the Big Flat crew for finding the problem quickly! I took a chance that the roads were clear on the way to Turner on Monday for Nellie Cedarburg’s funeral. The roads were fine, and the few places that drifted in had a good track that I could fol...

The Malta Senior Center will be serving up biscuits with sausage gravy guaranteed to fill you up on Saturday, January 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be a free will offering which will go toward the awning to be constructed over the new front door. I can still see the kids’ paternal gramma stirring the gravy in a humongous cast iron fry pan with the trash burner providing the heat. The fluffy biscuits (no Bisquick used in that house!) were piling up on a platter which would disappear like magic once the gravy hit the table. Many times t...
