There was a time that it wasn’t spring until I spotted my first grizzly bear. While I’ve stumbled upon few grizzlies in the fall, it was April when I expected to see them. They were following the elk herds and so was I, although for different purposes. I’d seen grizzlies at night foraging through the Cooke City dump. We used to take girls there, drink beer and park. Running into bears on foot in the backcountry in the middle of the day, however, was an entirely different experience. I was only...
Talking to anyone on the internet is like walking on eggshells. In times of crisis, one would think that something like the game of baseball potentially coming back soon, would bring us together. Not the case. I heard about the possibility of baseball coming back last week and I was happy about it. I can’t watch as much baseball or sometimes any baseball because it takes away from family time, but I still enjoy watching White Sox games when I can. The 2020 Major League Baseball season has been p...

We have been really been enjoying some warm spring days although the wind always seems to blow every day. We have always had a lot of wind but not every day! Every thing is still very quiet around town as all seem to be still being very careful and isolating themselves even if some places are opening up a little again.

Spring weather is its usual unpredictable mix. We had nice warm temps close to 70 degrees, then cool, 30, downpours of rain, a little grapple, and plenty of wind!

I’ve been working at the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum a couple of days this week. Cary Woodruff is working at getting the museum cleaned and I got some m...
This week is Florence Nightingale’s' birthday and it's also National Hospital Week. Our hospitals bring us not only healing but also hope. Phillips County doctors and nurses bring us high-quality health care locally. In the early 1920s, our area had a full-scale diphtheria outbreak. A family, parents, and 11 children, who lived near Saco, Mont., were in a crisis mode. All the children were sick and two were very sick. The parents decided to meet the train at Saco and one of them would travel with the children to the Glasgow Hospital in hopes o...

A week ago, I got to watch the City of Malta Public Works Crew use a jackhammer to break-up concrete inside the bathhouse at the Municipal Pool. It seems like the work there is coming along pretty well. Another thing I got to do was watch the workers take old materials out of the pool, including rotten wood, chunks of concrete, and other materials as they continue to work towards getting the pool open for the 2020 season. The plumbers will be putting in new plumbing including new sinks and...
