The Annual Great Plains Dinosaur Museum & Field Station's (GPDM) Wine & Dino event celebrated the exhibition's tenth year last Friday, June 8, with food, drink, music and a brand-new dinosaur exhibit. The event featured free admission to both the GPDM and Phillips County Museum and H.G. Robinson House & Gardens. "We don't see ourselves as separate but equal," GPDM Director of Paleontology Cary Woodruff said about the two museums. "We see ourselves as the Phillips County Historical Complex. You...
The 2018 Primary Election ended late last Tuesday night and in the only three contested races, Bruce Christofferson won the Republican nod for Phillips County Commissioner, Lynnel LaBrie won the primary for County Clerk and Recorder and Jerry Lytle won a close race to replace current Sheriff Scott Moran as he retires. The race for the Republican nomination for Phillips County Sheriff between Lytle and Undersheriff Burt Peigneux was decided by just 18 votes, 770 to 752 (and there was also one write-in vote in this race.) In the race for the...

The library has a selection of various items for all the readers who make the first five hours of reading...

Shortly after his final trip back to Zortman on the last day of school, Craig Mangis was honored for his nearly 50-years of service as a bus driver for the Malta School District at the District’s monthly meeting last Tuesday. Malta Public Schools Superintendent Kris Kuehn told the PCN that Mangis was thanked for his 47-years of service to Malta Schools and was awarded a bronze Mustang statue as a salute. “He was thanked for his dedication and thanked about the magnitude of the responsibility of transporting children all days from Zortman and ba...
Several people have asked me why Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula) has made such a big comeback from their efforts to manage the noxious weed. Their concern is justified looking at the amount of spurge that is in the Milk River drainage, from the Phillips County line to Havre. While this is not a strictly “scientific” explanation, this increase could be simply that leafy spurge has a deep taproot (about 20 feet). In dry years, like 2018 and like this spring, deep-rooted plants do better than sha...

While out walking the dogs last week at the lake I encountered a trio of young folks shore fishing and asked if they were having any luck. “We only caught a couple of hammer handles,” one of the women told me, “but we killed a big bull snake.” “Why?” I asked. “Because they eat goose eggs,” she replied. I’ve heard a lot of excuses for killing bull snakes, but that was a new one. It always bothers me to hear of people killing nonvenomous snakes, especially those that prey on rodents, and have...
If I was a bird hunter, I would already have the perfect dog. My three-year-old Cocker Spaniel Bruce has always hated birds. At times he can be seen or heard barking at grackles that nest in a tree in our backyard. I myself have had my beef with the green-headed nuisance birds. They tend to take over the bird-feeders that I put out for the finches every year. I rid our feeders of grackles by using only thistle seeds last year. But as soon as I tried the variety seeds, I learned they come right...
That didn’t last long. It was only three weeks ago that I was bragging about my yeard (a beard grown for a year) and now, here I am, my face smooth as a baby’s butt (but not as fresh smelling.) The response from people has come in three: Couldn’t care less; Hate that I no longer have the yeard, or; “That thing made you look like a flabby Viking with an iron deficiency.” At the end of the day, I got tired of grooming the darn thing every morning. You couldn’t tell by looking at me when I had it, but I spent a good 20-minutes each morning blo...
