Phillips County Hospital and Family Health Clinic has been working to acquire updated equipment for patient care use. In December of 2023 representatives from the Spacelab healthcare company were on-site at PCH to demo a few pieces of their equipment including new vital sign monitors. Our nursing staff and providers were invited to come in and test the equipment. Their equipment was impressive and included the most up-to-date technology. These new machines would replace our older machines that a...
Youngsters with a keen plan, a touch of fresh ideas, and sometimes some help on the side, created and displayed 43 science projects in the areas of Chemical, Life, Earth, and Physical for the 2024 Science Fair. Grades 1 through 5 entered 43 entries, and the kindergarteners could enter a Collection, with 11 choosing to be in the Fair this year. The entries were all set up at the Malta Elementary School on Monday and were judged by a panel of judges. In the afternoon, the gym where the projects...
The American Legion Auxiliary Juniors of Malta Post 57 have added a new project this year as part of their service to the men and women who have served in the military. This year they are preparing small packets of seeds for an annual flower, the "Forget Me Not." The small plastic bags contain seeds and planting instructions. It was decided to send seeds rather than starting the flower, as weather conditions in Montana were a factor. The Juniors will provide the families of local veterans who...
As spring was welcomed with open arms and brooms standing solo in the kitchens, the rush to exchange seasons lasted less time than it took to brush the cobwebs off the screen door. Montana's winter season swung back around and dumped moisture across the state, and did not forget to visit Phillips County. The eager beavers found themselves swapping out flip flops and jogging shorts to locating the kids' winter caps and gloves again. It was a sure sign spring is here...the storm was just Mother...
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and Wickens Construction Inc. will resume operations on the Malta—South project in the coming weeks, weather permitting.

In addition, the project will install snow ditches to mitigate drifting snow issues and new pedestrian facilities at 9th Street West. MDT anticipates that the project will be complete by this fall. Last year, crews com...

Voters of House District 28, I would like to introduce myself to you. I’m a third generation Montana farmer, writer, and a graduate of Blue Sky High. My family and I live in Inverness and farm on the border. I don’t want to waste your time with my biography, so please go to wicks4freedom.org for my full bio. I am a conservative constitutional, pro-gun, pro-life, anti-woke Republican that believes that “keeping Helena in Helena” is best for Montana. I am the candidate that will fight hardest for your God given rights. If you are looking for som...
Dear Editor, The separation of powers among the three co-equal branches of government are essential; and I agree that no branch should be able to overreach it’s bounds. I want to tell you why this overreach is not happening with SB 442! In Montana, our Constitution does not allow the Executive branch to have the final say over bills adopted by the Montana Legislature, which is the Senate and House of Representatives collectively. The ongoing dispute regarding SB 442 is about preserving the separation of powers. The Executive branch exercised t...
My father-in-law, Harry Johnson, left Texas in 1953 and moved to Gallatin County. Quickly falling in love with the Big Sky state, he made Montana home, raising a son and daughter here. He died in Ennis in 1995. But as much as Harry loved Montana, he didn’t care for the winters, which he thought were too long, too cold, too confining. A mason, he’d take his family south each winter, picking up jobs laying brick and stone in the desert before returning to Montana in the spring. Once back home Bar...
Every once in a while, when our kids have a “break” at school or an extended weekend, we get a chance to take a break ourselves. It may not be common knowledge, but a trip across the northern border has become one of my family’s favorite things to do. If you follow the speed limit, it takes about the same time to reach Medicine Hat, Alberta as it does Billings, maybe 15 minutes more. In the Easter of 2023, we took a trip to Swift Current, Saskatchewan. That trip ended with us driving to Medicine...
Steven Dean Schumacher went to be with his Lord on March 26, 2024, at the age of 73. Services were held at Malta Lutheran Church on Monday, April 1, 2024. Steve was born on June 23, 1950, in Minot, ND, to Francis (Frank) and Adeline (Muske) Schumacher. The family later moved to Tacoma, WA, and then to Kalispell, MT, where he attended all 12 years of school and graduated in 1968 from Flathead High School. Growing up Steve was interested in all things science, taking pictures and developing them... Full story
It’s true, it’s not an April Fools' Joke. I came down with a sore throat and cough. It is not fun! I think that wild animals must be adapted to the colder weather. I had dinner with Dave Menshew on Monday and Friday. He filled me in on the class that he was in about prepping the fossils. Sympathy is extended to the Steve Schumacher family on his death. Steve has been our Loring Lutheran lay pastor for the last few months. I saw a few robins this week! I heard them a few weeks ago but this tim...

As spring weather approaches, we’re all anxious to head outdoors, and bears are leaving their winter dens. This time of year, bears are waking up from hibernation and are pretty hungry. So, it’s best for you, and for the bears, not to leave out anything that will attract their appetite or their curiosity. If you’re outside working or recreating, you need to be aware that bears are out there, too. Anytime bears are not in hibernation, which is typically between the beginning of March and the end of November, is the time to be bear aware, accor...

Around 70 percent of people over the age of 65 will require long-term care services at some point in their life. According to the Administration on Aging (AOA), the average woman needs long-term care services for 3.7 years, and the average man needs those services for 2.2 years. The time for someone with an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s disease may be much longer. One-third of people aged 65 and older may never need long-term care support, but one-fifth will need it for longer than 5 years. Long-term care is the largest out-of-pocket health c...
