In mid-January, Malta School's Choir Director Larry Swingen was named the 2014-15 National Federation of High School Association's Outstanding Music Educator at the Montana High School Association's Annual Meeting held in Helena. "It's a great honor," Swingen said. "There is such a list of amazing teachers through the years who have received it, so it is a great honor."

Malta's Jenny Tollefson took over the Phillips County Health Nurse position vacated by longtime County Nurse Mary Lou Broadbrooks in late-November and though it is different from any medical position she has had in the past, she feels like things are moving along nicely.

There is definitely a big learning curve, but it is going well." One...
Technology is great, until it isn’t. In a day and age when more and more young children have access to the World Wide Web, there is no shortage of degenerates looking to exploit them. Last Wednesday in Malta, Undersheriff Frank Billmayer II of the Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, gave two separate presentations to students at the high school auditorium to discuss with the children how to protect themselves from internet predators. In his third presentation of the night, this one with parents, he gave a disclaimer that his talk might be rated R....

With the exception of gasoline, the price of nearly everything else appears to be on the rise. The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks recently announced changes in license fees, and not surprisingly, it will cost a few more bucks to fish and hunt here this year. Not a lot, though. Resident fishing licenses will increase by $3, and hunters must now purchase a new base hunting license before they can buy any other state hunting license. Folks may grumble a bit about the higher cost,...
Apparently last Thursday, February 4 was dubbed Friends Day by the creators of Facebook. The creators also wanted users to share what life was like before Facebook. For years I have used Facebook and there are many times I think that maybe I should cancel my account. Over the years, I have made many “friends,” be it through high school, college or my time as a traveling musician. At the time that I wrote this I had 1,939 friends on Facebook; however there are less than ten people that I wou...
