A fun time was had by all who attended the Summer Festival and Crazy Days this past weekend in Malta. Starting Friday, July 9, at 5 p.m., Veteran's Park was ready to go with craft vendors, inflatable bouncy houses, water slides, and food vendors. Travis Rhodes was set up in the gazebo with his DJ equipment, playing some fun, summer vibe music. And if you were down there, you may have seen two or three grown-ups rolling around on adult-sized tricycles on First Street. Not naming any names, but...

It has been hot again, mine said 100 degrees on Sunday and then the wind came up and cooled it off some but about blew us into the next county again. Still have grasshoppers and no rain so we are still in the drought. Yards and crops are suffering. Just a few weeks until fair, looks like its going to be a hot one. Good to see that there will be several events for the grand stand. I love the Indian relay races, among others. It was quite a worry this week when we had the tornado warning. They do...
The flycatchers eggs hatched. I think only three, but they are keeping the mom busy! It is so hot here that I'm surprised the eggs aren't hard boiled! I see a few hoppers moving in but so far they aren't getting my geraniums! I'm hoping the sharp tails will enjoy their special treats! And that they eat lots of them! I went to trivia this week at the brewery! It's always a fun time and I get to see some friends that I don't see often! I did not win this week. But that's ok! The Loring Women's...
“The Saddle That Made Miles City Famous”. This slogan was used by Albert Frank Furstnow in his saddle making business in Miles City. The PC Museum is pleased to have a saddle by this well-known maker. The saddle is from the Collection of Art and Jack Busche. Furstnow was so dominant in the saddle making business that he published a catalog of his shop, products, and rodeo champions and political figures he made saddles for. Furstnow saddles made their way to California and movie stars such as Tim McCoy, Tom Mix, and Cisco Kid were known to rid...
So the Redistricting Commission has met to hear suggestions for splitting Montana into two Congressional Districts. For starters, I think we should knock off the political posturing and follow the old truism of KISS, Keep It Simple, Stupid. There are 56 counties in Montana which suggests 28 counties in each congressional district. Then split Montana in a north-south fashion so that each district has its share of mountainous and prairie populations. Equal populations for each district is a consideration but, in my view, equal number of counties...
Since hot weather is apparently here to stay, I’ve decided to embrace it. I have little choice. There’s no escape. While I can hide inside, the relief is only temporary, and if I move any farther north, I’ll have to learn to speak Canadian. Dressing -- or more accurately undressing – for the heat is of upmost importance. I haven’t worn long pants in weeks, and socks are even too much most days. It seems only a short time ago that I was dressing for winter, pulling on long underwear as soon as I...

McEwen said that he felt the crowd was entertained and he felt that the hard work had paid off. Several local riders participated in...

On July 1, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) advanced American Prairie's modest request to graze bison on some public lands in Phillips County where they hold priority grazing privileges. The BLM's initial findings conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant environmental impact on the land and "will benefit local wildlife, improve land and water quality, and create new local jobs, all without impacting the value of the ranching economy." The BLM can issue grazing permits or...
