The Malta School Board passed a motion at their monthly meeting last Wednesday night which will allow up to eight teachers to retire early and early indications are that at least seven will take the school board’s offer and retire at the end of the year.

When I arrived in Montana I knew nary a soul here. It didn’t matter. I was searching for adventure, not familiarity. I reveled in the wild country and open spaces, the vastness of it all. Nearly 48 years later I’m still in awe, although I must admit it’s a lot more familiar than it used to be. I know what’s on the other side of the mountains now. I have friends and acquaintances from the Flathead to Baker, and a growing number of young folk refer to me as Grandpa. The arrival of twins Mason a...

I never thought I would be the center of a rumor. Truth is this wasn’t the first time I have been the subject of a rumor here. On more than one occasion, someone has...
My brother in Arizona asked if some pieces of grass were poking through the snow yet. Another friend from Alaska asked if the ground was still frozen. Also our paleontologist Cary ordered some stuff to be delivered to the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum, not realizing that the snow was as deep as the benches, and the back door was snowed in! People think it should be spring here, and it just isn't here yet. But it will be, it will be! Beau Simonson attended the prom in Malta on Saturday with a y...
