That was concerning! But things went well for Malta Merchants in December. A couple of weeks ago, the PCN was alerted that the 2020 Christmas Holiday season featured less Malta Chamber Christmas Scrip than in previous years. Despite the seemingly everlasting threat of COVID-19, it may be logical that numbers were down. The scrip total in the 2019 Holiday Season was $239,368. The total for the 2020 Christmas was $189,490, or a difference of $49,878. Despite the deficit of almost $50,000 in the...
February 8th was the 26th day of the 67th Montana legislature. Montana law says that we can meet for 90 days and must approve a balanced budget. Thanks to all of you who have reached out with phone calls or emails. I appreciate your input and will vote with my conscience, experience and most of all with God as an advisor. Committees have confirmed the director positions and governmental boards. In Senate Ag we confirmed, and await the final vote of the Senate floor, Mr. Mike Foster. Mr. Foster is from Townsend, served in the legislature and mos...
I am excited to report that two of the first bills to reach Governor Gianforte’s desk will open our state’s economy and strengthen the 2nd Amendment rights of Montanans. Senate Bill 65 to limit COVID-19 liability and House Bill 102 to allow permitless carry have passed both houses of the Legislature and are on their way to the Governor for his signature. We are about a month into the legislative session and the Montana House has advanced important bills to expand healthcare options for families, secure elections, support education, protect lif...

Just for your information, winter arrived with a mean force! Not much snow here in Loring, but the negative highs are enough! Looking on the bright side, winter shouldn't last longer than a couple of months instead of six. I'm thinking that a little more snow might be welcome, or maybe spring rains! You know how I'm always on the lookout for birds, especially snowy owls. A friend from California sent a newspaper article that reported a snowy owl being sighted in Central Park, New York City! As...
If we thought it was cold before, we were in for a big surprise. It is cold----all over Montana and it's February!!! Our thoughts should be looking forward to sunshine and warmer temps, at least in the daytime. Ranchers are looking at newborn's and this is no weather for them. Hopefully after this week we will see brighter days. This 20 to 40 degrees below is not good for old bones! And still below zero in the daytime ! Remember, this next Sunday is Valentine's Day---remember your sweetie! The...

Sympathy and prayers to Lou Bruckner, and friends and family, on the loss of her husband Glenn. Also, on the loss of her son, Dale, who passed about a week before his dad. Very sad. “Get well,” to all who are sick. We are sorry to hear that there was a fire in the Olsen’s barn! I don’t know the details, but no one was hurt and that what matters. Fires are dangerous. Jeanie Green is beginning lambing. They (Lambies) are so cute, they are also showing up. I used to feed bum lambs and calves...
The members of Malta Senior Center are planning a St. Paddy’s soup dinner in March if circumstances allow. The center hasn’t had a dinner since last March when it hosted the Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner amid a spring snow storm.

I was disappointed to see Casey Knudsen side with Democrat colleagues to vote against HB113, which would have protected Montana children from genital mutilation and hormone-blocking drugs for the sake of treating “gender dysphoria.” Studies indicate that upwards of ten percent of those who undergo the procedure known as “gender-affirmation surgeries” regret their decision, and the number is higher for children. Meanwhile, the disfiguring procedures double the risk of stroke in both males and females, double the risk of heart-attacks in men (an...
I don’t put much stock in old wives tales and the like, choosing science over myth when given a choice. Unless, of course, it suits me. And an early spring always suits me. That’s why, on the second day of February every year for as long as I can remember, I anxiously watch the morning news to see if Punxsatawney Phil has seen his shadow. If so, the story goes, we’re in for six more weeks of winter. You’d think by now I’d know better. The Pennsylvania groundhog is only right about half of t...
Gladys “Hap” Dudik (94) passed away in Silverdale, WA, on January 12, 2021. Born on February 11, 1926, she was raised in Malta, MT. Hap graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman. While teaching in Polson, friends introduced her to Marine veteran and U of M basketball player Mike Dudik, from Endicott, New York. They married in 1948, and together they raised three children and lived in 15 places in five states. In 1966, they settled on Bainbridge Island, WA. Mike was golf pro at Wing Poi...
The tide is about to turn in relation to bill volume as we enter the second month of the 2021 Montana Legislative Session. In the first week in February, only 550 of the 3,337 bill draft titles were introduced. It’s likely that many of the bill draft requests will never actually see the light of day, but that still leaves the large majority yet to be possibly introduced. By next week, we’ll have a clearer picture of what may or may not actually come to fruition from this session. We continue to focus on escorting House Bill 14, the Lon...

The season will be open through Feb. 15 and is for antlerless elk off National Forest Lands.
