There is good news from the Phillips County Commissioners regarding the grandstand. The original grandstand was built in 1915 and was the victim of the severe winds on April 5, 2022. The winds came in such power and velocity, that all that was left, where the grandstand had been, was a slab of cement and memories. Bleachers were brought in from the drag strip in Malta, and have been in place since. This is the last year for the makeshift seating. Even though the County had insurance on the...

Hoping the summer is treating you all well. I took a trip to Malta (a couple of weeks ago) with a couple of constituents and colleagues. It was a great opportunity to get acquainted with the new Senate District 14 I will be representing starting 1 January 2025. You may recall, Montana was recently redistricted, which drew new political boundaries for congressional and legislative districts. I’m trying to familiarize myself with where the district lines are in the real world, not just on a map. East of Havre, I know the district includes all o...
I remember being told years ago that if assault rifles were banned, my semi-automatic shotgun would be next. It was meant to scare me into joining the fight against gun control even though I didn’t understand why most folks needed a military-style weapon in the first place. I still don’t. But I’m apparently in the minority. It used to be that the majority of gun owners were hunters or folks who kept a handgun for “home security.” While military weapons were coveted by collectors, they weren’t t...
I never ever, ever, ever, thought that I would miss instant coffee, but I do. Not necessarily the flavor, but what it brought to our trip to the Bahamas. Upon leaving Malta, I brought a couple of bags of my coffee just in case I did not like the coffee on vacation. One bag was spoken for and the other went to a bandmate that lives in Florida. More on that at another time. So, there I was coffee-less on a ship. Or so I thought. Thankfully, the ship had coffee that I could buy by the cup or...
Still lots of smoke from the fires in the western United States aloft around Billings and Loring. I can’t smell it most days, but it sure looks foggy. I pray for rain even though the farmers are harvesting, but like my dad would say, “Never complain about rain in Montana!” So, we’ll take it whenever it comes!

The Malta Swim Team competed at the Montana Federation of Swimmers State Meet in Sidney last weekend and came home with a third place trophy in Class C. "I thought the team did great," Malta Head Coach Danika Wilke said. "There were only four teams competing for Class C at state and we managed to get a 3rd place trophy even though there were four of us swimmers. That being said, if we got 3rd place with only four swimmers you could only imagine what we could do with more. "All the Malta...
