The Phillips County Volunteer Fire Department was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Town Pump Charitable Foundation last week and the department hopes to use the funds for Wild Land Urban Interface Equipment and Training. Greg Kelsey, Fire Department Communications Officer, said he saw the grant application in the Phillips County News and decided to apply. “We think it is great and didn’t really expect anything,” he said. “This is a really great grant because there is no matching fund.

At one point during Kayleigh Cummings' schooling at Whitewater, she thought she might be graduating by herself.

It had been a long time since I’d had one of those dreams. They were a fairly common occurrence when I was younger and went without for more than a couple of days, but I’m much older now and, really, it had only been a little over a week. Maybe it was because I was away from home and it’s springtime, that magical season when I’m always thinking about it, fantasizing. Whatever the reason, now I was dreaming about it. And not about the last time, either. Not that that hadn’t been good, but it wa...
Sometimes being a photographer takes you weird places. I received a phone call from a loan company earlier this year to become an inspec-tor. Initially I was annoyed that an out of state company would approach me while I was struggling with a bout of writer’s block. That was until I found out that it could help someone that needed a person in my position. I called back the company who needed my services to accept the short job. I’m glad I did because in minutes I was transformed into an ins...

Hello Phillips County. Many know the story of how several towns in northern Montana were named by a spinning globe and a finger being placed at random on the globe. How many know the name of the station agent that became tired of being only a number? His name was Harry Vagg and he was the station agent at the siding which was later designated with the name Saco. Mr. Vagg and several agents traveled to St. Paul to plead their case asking for names not numbers to identify their stations. After arriving there was discussion on what to name the...
