Phillips County Health Department and the Phillips County Hospital and Family Health Clinic are partnering to offer free, drive-through COVID-19 testing on Thursday, July 9 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Milk River Pavilion parking lot. A doctor's order is not required to participate, and the event is part of broader testing of asymptomatic people statewide to prevent community spread of the disease.

You may recall that I wrote an article a few weeks ago that exposed the attempt by the Montana Department of Natural Resources (DNRC) to illegally give our ranchers' vested stockwater rights to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Well, we are not alone! I just read an article in the June 20, 2020 Tri-State Livestock News by the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) that detailed what was happening with stockwater rights in Idaho. First, a bit of history. In 1987 the Idaho Water Court began to adjudicate the Snake River Basin, a sizable piece of...
As a nation, state and society we are living in unprecedented times. As peace officer leaders in the State of Montana, we feel it is our obligation to speak about the unnecessary injuries and deaths, suffered by any persons, at the hands of law enforcement officers who fail or refuse to live by our peace officer code of ethics. We collectively acknowledge that incidents of excessive use of force, violence and misconduct are unacceptable and contradictory to our professional training, ethics, and personal morals. In every community ofMontana,...
A lot of folks up here in north-central Montana seem to think we live on an island, that the threat posed by the pandemic doesn’t concern us. Although I don’t share those thoughts, my wife and I have been living on an island of our own making. Since the middle of March we’ve been staying home, social distancing, avoiding crowds. It’s been harder on Barb than on me. I’m pretty much a hermit anyway, but she sorely misses lunches with her friends, bingo, and author conferences. We’re fortunate t...
Hopefully, everyone had a good Independence Day. Even as a kid, we didn’t make a huge deal of the 4th of July, but one thing was sure; there would be barbeque or grilled meat. Our kids aren’t too big yet, so we keep it simple when we “que”, and this year we bought some baby back ribs. I may or not have sung the Chili’s song, inserting the words “Peezy’s Baby Back Ribs” where Chili’s Baby Back Ribs goes. As far as cooking the ribs went, I tried to ignore them for the most part instead of the ty...

Dodson's Juliun Benson did something that can't be said of a Phillips County baseball player in a long time; he pitched a 5-0 shutout for the Havre Northstars against Lewistown on Tuesday, June 30. The American Legion baseball season had been canceled for Malta because the team didn't have enough players, but that hasn't stopped Juliun and his older brother Jeramiah from traveling to Havre to play ball. "They are most experienced because they play baseball more than the kids in Malta, but it...
