"The Milk River does not flow for six out of ten years without the water transferred by the St. Mary Project," Marko Manoukian of the St. Mary's Rehabil...
As the enticing smell of hickory and cherry chips filled the air, the noses that know knew where the aroma was originating from. Yep, as seasoned noses know, the BBQ grills were fired up at the Mint Bar last Saturday, where friends and family were anticipating great things to be ready at 5:30 p.m., following a day of slow and easy, meticulous preparation of brisket and pork. The event was the First Annual “Poncho” Memorial BBQ, a day to recognize, honor and remember Jory Schipman and bring awareness to the signs of and needs for rec...
Semisesquicentennial diamond...if that isn't a tongue-twisting title, it should be! It is the name associated with someone who is observing their 75th birthday and last weekend, Jay Southwick joined that elite group. He joins King Charles III, Billy Joel, Kathy Bates, Richard Simmons and Cat Stevens in the "age" group. But he was the only one who celebrated the milestone at the local VFW with family and friends on Friday evening doing what he loves best...playing his fiddle. Southwick kept the...

I’ve had some pretty prestigious Montana addresses. General Delivery, Cooke City was my first, and it’s still hard to beat. Tucked into the valley of Soda Butte Creek, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, Cooke is only a couple of miles up the road from Yellowstone Park. I’ve also called Livingston home, and probably will again. Like Cooke, it has spectacular mountain views, and while Yellowstone is a few more miles up the road, it’s still close. For a few years, Barb and I lived in Bozeman on Will...
After the last few years of drought that we have experienced in Montana, the green grass, trees, and foliage has been wonderful to see. We have driven in every direction and it has been extremely encouraging to see. While my eyes love what I am seeing, my allergies have never been worse here. This weekend, it feels like I sneezed more than I have ever sneezed over the course of two days. Energy is zapped. My nose runs, my eyes and ears itch. I have never cracked the code on keeping my allergies...

Thirteen schools ascended on the Malta gym floors over the weekend as local sports advocate, Mo Denham, hosted his annual basketball summer tournament. The games included varsity and JV teams from across the hi-line and it was a time for squads to reunite and play against some schools that will be on their play list this fall. The games were played at the high school as well as at the Old Gym, due to a flooding issue at the high school that left one half (west court) out of the rotation of floors upon which games could be played. The two-day...

"Racers in competition can help each other but...
Wow! The temp on Sunday was 99 degrees. I’m not the ruler of the world, but I say that’s too hot for June! The rest of the week was in the 70’s! Cindy Clark was a guest lay minister at the Malta Lutheran and Whitewater Lutheran Churches on Sunday. Her message was also carried on KMMR-Mustang radio. Lulu Besel invited her for lunch afterward. It’s been raining several times a week and the grass looks beautiful. Crops are growing right along with the weeds! Congratulations to Rennay Watkins...
The earliest large creamery in Malta was completed in October 1912 but did not start operating until March 1913. The one-story building contained the most modern and up-to-date machinery. It was stated that special attention was being given to sanitation. The first board of directors consisted of R. V. Tucker, Phil Caselberg, J. F. Kilduff, H. G. Robinson and Dr. George W. Clay. Mrs. Atwood of Strater sent in the first cream. Only butter was produced at the beginning. The butter was marketed under the name “Malta’s Pride” which was the winni...
