Look at what the storm rolled in. The Phillips County area experienced a couple of stormy days last week, producing thunder, strong winds, and rain, conditions that might keep average Joe or Jane off of the road. This was not the case for Storm Intercept owner/founder Stephen Jones of Oklahoma City, Okla., who chased the storm that hit Malta last Wednesday, June 9. The result, an image, and memory that Jones will not forget anytime soon. "After witnessing nearly 1,000 supercell storms in my...

Reckless Kelly will be the featured band this year at the 106th annual Phillips County Fair. "We are happy to announce that we do have a band booked for the fair finally," said Fair Board member Eric Wilke. "It's later than we normally have one booked. It was just the uncertainty of whether the fairs were going to happen or not this year that delayed things." Wilke said that Reckless Kelly is a band originally out of Idaho, and will be the headliner for the Friday night concert on August 6, at...

“Get well wishes” to Bobby Anderson of Whitewater and all who are sick, including David Lightfoot. Happy Birthday to all June birthdays. Sympathy to the families of the gophers who have been shot in Whitewater, Loring, and other areas. I think gophers are cute and how do they harm the earth? Why not let coyotes get them. Then the coyotes would not kill sheep or other animals. I do not understand how anyone can think it is a sport to shoot and kill any animal. There are people in Whitewater are...
Mother Nature gave us two nights of rain this week. In Loring, unofficially “official” the total rainfall was 2.5 inches! A lot of the low spots were full of water. The ditches up at Jason's are full! It's just a very good feeling to have rain when we need it! In my flycatcher’s nest are five eggs! They are so small and cute! I'm hoping that they hatch this year with no problem! Maybe one more week. I had a couple of little whitetail bucks here in the yard with velvet antlers! It's excit...
It has been hot during the day almost every day now with a cooler night and of course, the wind blows every day.

They are returning home on Tuesday. Thanks to Lyle and Francine...
Despite having to detour guests temporarily as our new front door was being installed, we saw plenty of happy folks through the museum this week. A huge thank you to everyone who has helped with this project, it looks fantastic. It has been heartening to see a return to educational adventures around Montana and to stamp so many nearly filled Dinosaur Trail passports. Apart from the rich natural history, many exhibits in the museum document the stories of those who endured uncertainties, overcame fears and made do. A new display this year of...
My father’s been gone for 15 years, and while I can’t say I think about him every day, he’s never far from my thoughts. Among the many things he taught me was how to hunt and fish, two pastimes that consume me for much of the year. He’d be fine with that, but he’d also remind me to call my sister, and go to church. My earliest memories afield go back to a squirrel hunting trip with him when I was still too young to carry a gun. He’d gotten permission to hunt a stand of hardwoods that border...
