"Rooted in" banners have gone up around the City of Malta and will soon be hanging in your neighborhood too. "Rooted in" is a slogan which was decided upon by a large group of people throughout Phillips County who came together to figure out a "brand" for the area. "Rooted In" was the last brand standing when all the meetings were concluded and it is the hope that the phrase, and the banners, represent the people who live here, local industry, and lifestyle to let visitors know what Phillips...

There’s a growing divide in Montana. And while it’s not yet political, it’s going to be, and it mimics the split our country faces. Coyote derbies pit urban sentiments against rural traditions. A winter staple in small towns across much of the state, -- Dillon, Melstone, Winnett, and Big Sandy all held derbies this winter -- coyote killing contests have stirred opposition in Montana’s more urban areas. Called a “stain on our hunting tradition of sportsmanship and fair chase” in a recent lett...
It was a cold day in the United States last Wednesday, January 30. People were freaking out because temperatures reached -50 below in different Midwestern states. Luckily for me, I know plenty of people in the Midwest, including my family. Throughout the day I saw various social media posts talking about how cold it was outside. I had never experienced negative 50-degree wind chill days while living in Chicago, so when it happened, I felt like saying welcome to our world. Yes, negative 50 degree...
Dear Editor, This happened half a lifetime ago. I had just moved into a 8x27’ trailer. I was not there long until I had a phone put in. I was blessed with a phone number that was easily confused and quite often I would get calls for other people which is what happened on Thanksgiving Day. I had been invited to a friend’s house for mid-afternoon lunch. I had just dug through a stock of clothes to find the shirt and pants I had last worn the previous Sunday and the phone rang. I picked it up and said “good afternoon,” and a voice boomed back at...
Dear Editor, Where’s the beef…from? No one wants to be misled, but it is happening every day at your meat counter. “Product of USA” is now gracing your beef and pork labels, even though your beef and pork are quite possibly not from an American farmer or rancher. This loophole in the USDA process which allows this to happen has to stop. We can start reversing this process by correctly informing Montana consumers with accurate Country-of-Origin-Placards at grocery stores. In 2005 we banded together as Montanans to demand accurate placard...

It has been so cold and terrible weather there has not even been much traffic around town. Thursday, and Friday, and early Saturday were nice days and we enjoyed the warmer temperatures --even a few drops of rain on Saturday before temperatures took a sharp and fast drop. On Sunday, we woke up to several inches of snow and temperatures that never got above zero all day and it continued to snow all day. Guess the groundhog meant it when he saw his shadow!
