November 1, 1955. A date some think little about, yet some cannot erase it from their mind. Then there is April 30, 1975, another date with the same effect on some. Those are the beginning date and end date of the Vietnam War. A war? Some still call it a conflict. Some still swear we (the United States) had no business being in the war. Wednesday, March 29, is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The Buster Deo Post 4067 invites all Vietnam Veterans to join friends at the Post on Wednesday evening for a complimentary drink and our thanks. The...

Dear Editor, I am writing this in response to the adults who think it is okay to make negative comments on Facebook and in the classroom about a student athlete. First of all, my grandson is a wonderful young man and he does not deserve this kind of bullying. Every one of these bullies do not even know him or anything about him. I called Malta Schools twice trying to get on the agenda leaving voice mail with the superintendent but my calls were never returned. I believe the two junior high teachers who made comments on Facebook and comments in...
From the first day that hunters were allowed to harvest bison that wandered out of Yellowstone National Park there have been protests. A bison advocate jabbed a hunter with a ski pole that first season. Others chained themselves to a gate, hoping to disrupt the hunt. Negative publicity eventually prompted state officials to limit the hunt to American Indians, with only a few permits issued to the general public. It appeared to be a wise move. Indians have hunted bison for thousands of years,...
I better start off by saying that I now have a deeper appreciation for those with the courage to be interviewed by myself or any other member of the media! For the past ten years I have interviewed local coaches, athletes, and others around this great county, and seldom have I been the subject of an interview. That changed for me a couple of months ago as I had the chance to tell my life story on Live Under the Big Sky at KLTZ F.M. Radio in Glasgow. My friend Georgie called me about the...

Late winter and early spring is often a difficult time for wildlife. After using fat reserves through most of the winter, along with trying to find what food is available, many animals are at their most vulnerable at this time of year. And as we’ve all experienced, the winter of 2022-23 has been a tough, long winter with heavy snow and cold temperatures late into the year. That’s why Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, along with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), are asking shed hunters and other recreationists to give wildlife their spa...
Sympathy to the victims of the floods in California and all over. Greetings from Iceland, ha-ha. You cannot believe how much snow and ice we have in Whitewater, drifts are 18 to 20 feet high! Thanks to Jason Hellie for driving his snowplow on streets and my yard. We had several years of real drought, no crops at all. Maybe this snow will change that cycle, hope so. Also, good luck to the ranchers feeding cattle and now calving. Hope they have barns. The weather all over Montana has been hard....
I’m not sure how we’ll handle all the moisture when the snow starts to melt! I know I have no say, but melting slowly for a while and then running off into the pits and dams! Whatever happens, it’s ok because we are so thankful to have a white winter this year! I saw a snowy owl last week! The first time this year! I enjoyed the Firefighter’s hamburger/fish fundraiser on Friday! Then I went up to the Event Center to visit and check out the agriculture displays! I haven’t been in a few years so I...
Our weather has been cold and nasty every day and temperatures are never very high, but we did not get this last snow that some of the state did. I think spring ran away and hid on that first day. Velyma Broadhead and daughter Anita Manns returned from their trip to Mexico, and after a couple of days to Joliette, have been home. Anita is staying with her mom for a few days. Polly Solberg met the train on Friday to greet their niece and family who came from Minnesota for a few days. They are...
