If a grant proposal written by Malta’s Laura Pankratz is a successful one, the way people get to and across one of the busier intersections in Malta will be drastically changed. Pankratz spoke during the new business portion of last Tuesday night’s Malta City Council meeting and said she was recently approached by Montana Department of Transportation’s (MDT) Shane Mintz and asked if she would be interested in writing a grant which, if awarded, could be tagged on to a bigger project on 191 South...
Though all the numbers and statistics have yet to be tallied, the winter of 2017-18 has been a doozy in Phillips County (which is possible news only to snowbirds and bears) and the month of February ranks up there as one of the coldest on record in the northeastern part of the state. As far as temperatures go, 1936 is the record coldest February in much of the northern plains," Tanja Fransen, US National Weather Service's Glasgow office, told the PCN. "But, this year will definitely rank in the...

Before Cora's World-Famous Potatoes hit the plate or raffle tickets hit the buckets, the call for Young Angler of the Year applications is the official indicator that spring is just around the corner and with it the Malta Chapter Walleyes Unlimited Banquet.

Dear Editor, We are all aware of the horror and grief that we are seeing because of the mass shootings across the nation. We cannot listen to the news without being subjected to a barrage of “what happened, “what was not done, “what should be done? “etc. Somehow, the media and the vast majority of our leaders are not focusing on the real problem.The real problem is that as a nation we have turned our back on God. We have a legislated God out of our schools, our military, our states and even the church! We are no longer under God’s Protectio...
In a clear indication that climate change is upon us, April is no longer the cruelest month. T.S. Eliot was wrong. It’s March. By April I’ll be fishing open water again. The snow will melt, and the boys of summer will begin play. It won’t be shorts and flip-flops weather, but neither will it be insulated coveralls and Scotch caps weather. The old saying that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb better applies these days to April. March typically comes in like a lion and retre...
I was supposed to start my New Year’s Resolution today. Of course, at the time I am writing this, it is the first day of March. I wasn’t in a good spot to start working out again on the first of the year, so I sat on it. Yes, I sat on my keister. The sad thing is that sometime over a year ago I lost my drive to lift weights. I had been work-ing out in a weight room since high school and gradually, I just stopped. Never saw it coming. I guess I liked the prospect of sleeping in as opposed to vol...

As I sit here writing the news, we are experiencing what I've been told is an old-fashioned blizzard. The snow started falling right after church, sideways and hasn't stopped yet at 7:30. Some of the day I could only see one power pole and usually, I can see 6 or 7. The snow was so thick I couldn't see Loring and those buildings are large! So this is what an old-fashioned blizzard is like! I'm glad I experienced it, but now I'm done! Winter and white can come back next year! I have heard that...
