A total of 28 local students converged in Malta High School's auditorium last Wednesday afternoon, each hoping to go home with this year's Phillips County Spelling Bee championship trophy and when the event wrapped up, Malta Middle School's Jonathan Siewing had earned the 2019 crown. Siewing, the son of Leona and Paul Siewing, is an eighth-grade student at MES, correctly spelled "Solomon" and "hypothesis" correctly in the 10th round of the event as he faced-off with Dodson Elementary School's...

Phillips County residents kept $265,680 of their local dollars for the 2018 holiday season by participating in the annual Christmas Scrip program hosted by local banks and the Malta Chamber of Commerce, down a bit from the 2017 total of $281,770.

This no-interest loan program was available at all three local banks; The First State, First...

Bill Would Use Coal Money for Affordable Housing Projects The Montana House of Representatives has passed a bill that would use money from the coal severance tax trust fund to pay for low- and moderate-income housing projects. House Bill 16, carried by Rep. Dave Fern, D-Whitefish, passed the House on a 71-29 vote and will now move on to the Senate. The bill would allow a loan to be taken from the coal trust fund’s investment pool to fund the development of housing originally financed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development a...
As most everyone knows, the temperatures have been brutal around northern Phillips County! The highs have not gone above zero for a week! It has been a few years since we've had sub-zero temps for a whole week, and I think it's going to last most of next week also! We did receive some snow and now with the wind, it is being rearranged in new configurations! Tom Stordahl and I traveled to Glasgow on Wednesday for a doctor visit! It seems that all the experimental shots in his back don't come...
The weather keeps staying below zero both night and day and we have more snow on the ground than we have had all winter— the sad thing is the weatherman is still predicting the same for the next several days. There are very few cars or people seen around outside except those that have to be. Dress warmly and hope for spring. Condolences are sent to the Kienenberger families in the passing of Carol's aunt, Emma Jean Bridges. A memorial service was held for her on Saturday. Polly Solberg attended...
I've been discussing this issue on social media lately with many of you and, tonight after reading about one incident in particular, I decided to write this letter. When a loved one of mine passes away, please DO NOT write about it on Facebook, either in general or on my page, for a day or two!! I do not want my distant relatives or friends finding out about our loss because someone feels the need to be first! Fortunately, I haven't lost a family member recently and don't expect to. I'm just thinking about how I'd feel if what I've seen...
If you are the mother or father of a high school athlete here in Montana, this message is primarily for you. When you attend an athletic event that involves your son or daughter, cheer to your heart’s content, enjoy the camaraderie that high school sports offer, and have fun. But when it comes to verbally criticizing game officials or coaches, cool it. Make no mistake about it. Your passion is admired and your support of the hometown team is needed. But so is your self-control. Yelling, screaming and berating the officials humiliates your c...
I thought I had evolved. After nearly half a century living in a northern clime, I finally reached the point where I looked forward to winter. At least that’s what I told people. Summer’s heat was just too intolerable. I longed for cooler air, a chilly breeze, a bit of frost. The heat just wore me out. It was my excuse for most anything I didn’t want to do. The air-conditioner became my new best friend, much to the chagrin of the wood stove. During the first month of bird season I only hunte...
Disclaimer: I am cheesy and definitely not always correct, so take these next words with a grain of salt. I mean well, even if it doesn’t translate well. For most of my life, Valentine’s Day has been a cloudy day. The day has been better the past seven years now that I have found my true love and wife Susan. While I am perfectly content with my love life nowadays, I know that there are a ton of people that are currently as bitter as I was in my teenage years and earlier adult years. I wan...
Sympathy to all the homeless and all who are outside during the winter. It’s February and Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow, meaning it is supposed to be an early spring, but here in Whitewater we are pretty sure we will have at least six more weeks of winter. On Sunday we had almost three feet of snow and the temperature was below zero! So much for a mild winter. Happy birthday to all February birthdays and happy anniversary to all celebrating. There were three basketball games here at W...
