Malta Mayor John Demarais said the money for snow removal will come out of the street...

Starting to see a few birds in the sky and trees again. It's so wonderful to see bare ground again in places. Easter dinner was served at the Wapatau Center on Wednesday.

Had "small" snow flurries again on Friday but did not get enough to cover the ground again. On Saturday and Sunday mornings it was very cold...

Rivers run through me. I was born and raised in a city that sits on a bend of the Ohio. I fished the Wabash when I was a kid, and watched my father help pull a net full of catfish from the Embarras in Illinois when I was too small to help. I fished the St. Johns, Lopez and the Loxahatchee in Florida. I floated the Suwanee, Santa Fe and the Ichitucknee in the same state. When I moved west I fell in love with the Yellowstone. From its humble beginnings high in the mountains above Yellowstone Lake...
Dear Editor, In reading the Phillips County News, you can read all about the American Prairie Reserve (APR) wanting to have the Bison (Buffalo) graze on BLM lands for 12 months of the year.

If you do not go by their rules, BLM will take away your grazing privileges. The rancher pays taxes on their livestock. If they (APR) can get it changed to Bison (Buffalo) then they will claim them as wildlife and refuse to pay taxes...
