Most people, after 40-years on the job, start their retirement with a trip to a tropical island to sip fruity drinks out of coconut cups. Mary Lou Broadbrooks took a different route. The long-time Phillips County Nurse retired from her post last December and instead of sunshine-filled destination, she opted for surgery. "I had hand surgery," Broadbrooks said last Wednesday, "But I am going to Billings today to get the cast off and hopefully get the pin out." Broadbrooks knew she needed the...
As the old saying goes, the worst day fishing beats the best day at work. The students ice fishing at Nelson Reservoir last Tuesday had no complaints about missing school and even if the fishing wasn’t great, the day was. “I’m having a good time,” Adam McClellan admitted. McClellan, a fifth grade student at Saco School, was sitting in a spear house during his interview and admitted that if he wasn’t out fishing, he’d be in band learning to play the clarinet. “I’d rather be fishing,” he said. Mal...
A nearly two hour Malta City Council meeting last Tuesday included talks on what “economic development” in Phillips County looks like and a decision to tear down a barn that has stood in the county since World War II was reached. A packed council room at Malta City Hall – some in attendance left over from a housing study discussion hosted by the engineering firm KLJ -- were mostly awaiting the new business portion of the night’s agenda which boasted seven different items including the City of Malta contract with PhillCo Economic Growth Council...
I get antsy this time of year. I’m tired of winter, ready for spring, bare ground and open water. Looking out the window while I write, I see blue sky and bright sun. It’s not hard to imagine it’s already another season. But it’s not. Despite appearances, it’s still winter, and will be for more than another month. However, that’s not to say there aren’t spring-like opportunities out there. Pick the right day and you can forget all about winter. A friend and I floated the Bighorn River in early F...
I was so distraught on Wednesday morning when I found out that last Tuesday was National Pizza Day. My love for pizza is pretty deep. Being from a town right next to the pizza capitol of the world, I’ve eaten many pies in my life. I’ve had many different topping combinations, crusts and flavor profiles, some awesome and some not so much. My favorite all time pizza consists of sausage, pepperoni and jalapeño peppers in traditional Chicago Style Deep Dish format; my venue of choice, Gior...

Not that long ago, retirement for almost everyone meant the end of that daily commute and free time to take up hobbies, travel or simply enjoying life at home. While many retirees are still doing such things, there has also been a considerable change in how and when people retire. Some of that is due to financial necessity. The age to collect Social Security benefits has risen and the private retirement savings of many were reduced by the recession of 2008, which also helped lower the value of many homes, most folks' biggest financial...
1 years ago February 17, 1916 Local News Sissy Rhodes in his last attempt at an issue of his sheet, the Valley County News, says in his brainy Pat and Mike Column, that a newspaper in Malta will run anything from a whisky editorial to the republican platform, as long as he gets the dough for it. We are not aware of either of the Malta papers running any advertisements for the liquor interests, but from the looks of the patronage given the Valley County News, we think Rhodes would welcome...

Currently with two wins under their belt, neither of which have been in conference, Dodson has a chance to shock the district.
