Montana State Rep. Casey Knudsen, R-Malta, knew all along that once his freshman session in the House was up that he was going to be filing for re-election as soon as we was able to. "I was ready to go and that was always the plan," Rep. Knudsen told the PCN last week. "I figured I would get a lot of learning done that first time and know it is time to go hit some stuff and get some things done." Knudsen, son of Malta's Jim and Janice Knudsen and a 2009 graduate of Malta High School, filed for...

Dear Editor, Memories, memories. Allow me to share a few with you. In the tiny town of Saco, I was walking down the sidewalk when I noticed a young, beautiful, well dressed, slender lady. I inquired at the grocery store and was told “oh, she’s Ms. Morehouse, the new first grade teacher.” The next Monday, we said our goodbyes to Gregory as he bounced up the steps of the school bus in our yard. This, our first born, would be traveling 19 miles from our ranch home to school for the first grade. Brian, our second child, was mightily excited when...
Dear Editor, The Wednesday, January 3, edition of the PC News surely brought back some family history and memories for me. It was wonderful to read that Scott and Gina Simanton have opened their new business on Front Street, in a totally refurbished building, and I wish them much success. Equally interesting to me was the mention of the Edwards and McLellan building, which was built in 1910 by my grandfather, Lee Dark Edwards, and his partner William McLellan. These two energetic pioneers also built stores and shops on the entire block in the...
It’s always good to get back home to Montana. I can’t understand why anyone would want to live anywhere else. Sure, it was -22 the morning after we got back from Seattle, but it was a dry cold. The lush green Pacific Northwest offers a pleasant respite from winter in Montana, however it comes with a price: swarms of people everywhere, and bumper-to-bumper traffic. Let them keep their fresh oysters, Space Needle, and Seahawks. I’ll take Montana any day. I still honk when I return from a trip...
PJ has never been a cuddler. Maybe I had been holding him wrong. When you think of a baby, you think of a small human that wants to be held every day. Or at least that has been my interpretation. That was until my wife Susan and I had PJ. I remember trying to hold my newly born son a few years ago and it always seemed like he liked his crib or his blanket more than he liked snuggling with his father. I remember I used to say, “aw, isn’t that nice?,” thinking that I had him in a comfortable spot....

Good to see Mark is back and working --take care and best of luck to you. Friday made it up to the 40s temperature wise and hopes for spring brought smiles to everyone's faces but days since have been slightly cooler again. It sure helped settle the snow tho.

It is so good to see that Dodson's boy's basketball team is...

He looks mischievous as ever! Sympathy is extended to the family of Jim Maxie and the family of Freddie Soennichsen. Also get well wishes to Paul Hofer and Whitney...
