After a recent work meeting for the Malta City Council, it was decided to once again look into funding for water works projects in Malta. At last Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, the Council met with representatives of Bear Paw Development to discuss a possible water works project with a price tag of just over $5 million. After nearly an hour of discussion and number crunching, the Council unanimously decided to move ahead with a SRF application for the loan to help pay for project. The decision came after a discussion of being able to p...
About a dozen people met at what will soon be known as Ray J’s in Malta at the beginning of the month to let people know what their vision of the Good News Club and to ascertain the needs of the people in Phillips County who deal with depression. “I want to promote the message of sensitivity to suicide,” Steve Heppner said. “I just want to create this type of ad hock meeting where you can say to your friend, ‘how are you doing and has suicide ever entered your mind?’” Raymond Harms, another founder of the Good News Club, said that one of h...

I’m quite fond of rest areas. I’ve slept in them, used the facilities there, and pulled in to walk the dogs. And over the years I’ve seen them change. It used to be that rest areas were located on remote stretches of highway far from towns. A long time ago that was the point -- to provide a place to take a break out in the boondocks. Remote rest areas, however, deemed too dangerous, and too difficult to maintain, are vanishing. Many have been replaced with in-town rest areas such as the one i...
Majority Rules: The ‘Ballot Initiative’ like ‘Eminent Domain’ What a concept! A chance for the majority (democracy) to “expletive” (edit) the minority. This shows that all the talk about compromise, consensus, majority, the collective, think group, think team, and ‘for the good of us all’ is B.S. The Constitution is here to protect the individual. The Constitution Rule is never collaboration, give and take, is Paristroika and Glasnoist. Progressive can be regressive. The majority can and is usually victimized by the media. Remember the 7-...
The announcement of the nominees for the 87th Academy Awards has caused a bit of brouhaha in both cinematic and social circles around the country. The biggest gripe is that neither the director or leading actor in the film Selma were nominated for Oscars this year and it has many people crying “foul.” I wonder how many people who are upset about the lack of racial diversity in this year’s nomination have actually seen the movie Selma? The movie has only been out for a few weeks and though the movie did well at the box office this week – I w...

MALTA-Madaline Itcaina, went home to be with her Heavenly Father Wednesday, January 14, 2015 in Billings following a swift stroke. Rosary was on Sunday, January 18 at the Kirkwood Memorial Chapel. Mass was on Monday, January 19 at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Interment will be in the Malta Cemetery. Condolences for the family may be left at www.kirkwoodfuneralhome.com.

Apparently the month of January is National Bath Safety Month. Bath safety encompasses many things including making sure your tub is slip proof, making sure you keep a close eye on your children in the tub to prevent drowning and even making sure the water temperature isn’t too hot. When I think about bath safety, it takes me back to my disdain for communal showers. I was the type that always wore flip-flops in the dorms. I would sanitize everything in the bathroom before I used it. I don’t car...
