A day after Montana Governor Steve Bullock announced citizens of this great state were to "stay-at-home" to keeping residents indoors and limit travel to hopefully stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading, last Thursday to be exact, daughter of mine and cub reporter Sophia and I took off for an all-day trip around Phillips County. Now before you rush to judgment and scold us for being out and about during this time, keep in mind that the Governor has declared the media essential and, to be...
What started as a fun, family trip to Billings ended in "Thank God everyone is safe" moment, but what lay in between for Dodson's Deserae KillEagle was an event she, nor her family, are soon to forget. On Sunday, March 22, KillEagle announced on her Facebook page that she had been tested for the COVID-19 virus in Phillips County and the results were negative. Standing with her daughters Jazlynn and Kataya in a photo taken in Dodson by her sister, Francine (who, it should be noted, was a safe...
On Tuesday, March 24, Phillips County Hospital and Family Health Clinic staff took a COVID-19 training course taught by the Yellowstone Pathology Institute physicians from Billings as they continue to deal with the new medical challenge. Larry Putnam, Interim CEO at the facilities, said the clinic and hospital made preparations to screen and possibly test potential Coronavirus patients on Monday, March 9th. “Two weeks ago on March 16th, for the safety of patients and employees, the hospital suspended walk-in patients to the clinic and posted s...
I would like to thank all the residents, family, staff, local community, Phillips County Hospital, and the HLRC Board of Directors for all their support during these trying times. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency March 13 amid the global pandemic, stopping all nursing home visits. Hi-Line Retirement Center restricted all visitors into the facility. Since the first nursing home case in Kirkland, Washington reported an outbreak resulting in 19 deaths, 147 skilled nursing facilities in 27 states, have at least one resident...
We are starting our third week of voluntary isolation and the first week of state lockdown. We are encouraged to stay home and away from other people unless it is essential. I'm not sure but isn't saving my sanity essential? Just kidding I'm not any crazier than I ever was. The robins and meadowlarks have returned! Oh, that soothes my mind that the world is not coming to an end! I also saw six eagles in a field! And many antelope! The gophers are having a great time scampering around! We in northern Phillips County are being creative during thi...
Sympathy to all people who are affected by the COVID-19 virus. Although we have not had victims who contracted the virus in Phillips County, our Whitewater is taking precautions as recommended.

However, the students are still studying via the internet with the help of the teachers. I saw Mrs. Cummings and...
OK Boomer, let’s see what you got. I quit elk hunting some years ago. I haven’t shot a deer or an antelope in a couple of years. That’s all about to change. In this time of quarantine, I’m reevaluating my priorities. The dogs might not like this return to big game hunting, but they’ll get over it. And it’s not like I’m going to quit bird hunting. I’m just going to spend a bit more time hunting critters that fill the freezer. I backed off gardening in recent years, too. It was much more fun to sp...
This is the second part of our experience with the COVID-19 virus. Being away from home while everything around us was starting to shut down, was not fun. It seemed and felt like something from a movie. After the State Basketball Tournament in Butte, we drove through an intimidating amount of snow heading home. Before leaving for the tournament, we knew that snow was in the fore-cast. We were just hoping that the weatherman was wrong. I drove extremely carefully through the mountains on the way...

There is not much activity around with the order to stay home as much as you can. We can only wait, pray and stay as isolated as possible until some of this passes and our weather changes. Everyone, please take care! Our layman pastor Jack has started sending daily prayer readings and on Sunday a copy of his sermon to help with not being able to hold in-house services for awhile. These are greatly appreciated. Dora Henry's family had a scare when it was thought that her granddaughter in law and great-grandson was ill and being tested for the...

The 2019-20 season may not have ended in the state tournament for Malta, but the Mustangs basketball team fought hard and ended their season fourth in the division. This all occurred in lieu of a season plagued with injuries. "We were always battling something," Malta Head Coach David Costin said. "When Tanner Smith came back, and then Rex Williamson came back there was always another injury. We battled illness all year." Prior to the team's last two games, Malta lost Connor Tuss to a knee...
Though the spring sports season is in question for 2020, the Malta Mustangs and M-ettes track and field teams welcomed home a familiar face at the helm.

Since the Mighty Malta Mustang Co. won their first title in 1971, the Malta Mustangs boys Basketball team has won eight Class B Championship games in eight attempts.
