Morgan Ellis, EMR and EMT Janessa Malmend served up...
It might have been an English class with Mr. Dale Edmister that sparked an interest in writing (and that was in high school and a long time ago), yet it brought a local to the office of the Phillips County News. A graduate of Malta High School, Kari (Green) Hould was welcomed and hit the ground running last week as the latest addition to the PCN Staff. "We are thrilled to add Kari to the staff here at the PCN," PCN Publisher Pierre Bibbs said. "Mrs. Hould has worked with the PCN for a long time...

Old, unstable mining explosives were discovered at a residence just south of Malta on US 191.EOD personnel from Malmstrom Air Force Base were called in to destroy the explosives. Because of the unstableness of the explosives in question, it was necessary to find a location as near to the location the explosives were found in order to not transport them farther...

Bet-cha Didn’t Know Life gives us many good neighbors throughout our lifetime. This is a story labeled “They Were Good Neighbors” by Gladys Costello. Two neighboring landowners, one a sheepman and one a cattleman, were on friendly terms, settling their disputes amicably. They both came to Zortman frequently to do a little celebrating. Came a day when they met in Sam Deniff’s Saloon. Both were well on their way to a celebration when the argument broke out. In a flash, each man had drawn his gun and the shooting began. The big back mirror of the...

What a wonderful day for the Sunday Funday in Loring. The sun was shining, and a slight breeze was keeping the temperature down a bit. The people were either soaking up the rays or staying in the shade. The kids were climbing the water slides over and over again, and sliding down as quickly as possible! The food was awesome! Grilled burgers for lunch and pulled pork for supper! The community ladies brought salads and desserts! No church at the Loring Lutheran next Sunday. Walker Olson of...

In his continued effort to lower costs and increase affordable housing supply for Montana communities, U.S. Senator Jon Tester today questioned housing policy experts on housing shortages in Montana and across rural America and ways to increase supply in rural communities.

Though I have had the same hammer since I was 13 years ago, I am far from a handyman. I do have to say that I have had a streak of fixing things around the house. One wouldn’t think that putting together a kitchen table is hard to do, but I definitely can complicate a simple task. I did get it set up! After I found my rhythm, I was also able to assemble the six chairs that came with it. One month later. As I was putting together the furniture, I wondered what my sons were thinking. I am g...
When I was told I would need to write a column for the PCN or a bi-weekly sharing of thoughts, my mind was overcome by the intensity of the responsibility. Personally, I am one to text and share jokes, little clips with positive thoughts, and something that will bring a smile to ones face…I am not so sure placing my thoughts in words for others to pounce on is something I am looking forward to. It kinda ranks right up there with having a root canal or mammogram. I will say this week has been a warm and gentle one; I had told a few friends a...

Malta has ten swimmers going, including a pair of brothers...
