As the evening sun begins to set, the crowd at the grandstands for the night show will put their hands together and give Frank Ray a true Montana welcome. Lined up as the top-billed act of the evening, he will follow opening acts of Tanner Laws and Sam Barber. The native of Deming, New Mexico, brings a youthful voice with a varied background. He started working as a police officer in Las Cruces, New Mexico. This was his passion for ten years; he then made the decision to hang up the badge and...
The Malta City Council meeting on July 25th got underway and had a full agenda. After the opening pledge to the flag, motions were made and seconded to approve the minutes from the last meeting, the current agenda and claims.

The Phillips County Extension office has a new face at the helm. The face is not new, however, to the Malta community. Newly hired Phillips County Extension Agent Christina Murphy tossed her name in the pool when Marko Manoukian retired and the State opened the position. It isn't much of a change for Christina, she resigned as the Agricultural Education and Welding teacher at Malta School District, a position she has held for four years to make the transition. Christina described her life as...
As I meet with Montanans in every corner of our state, I hear the same concern often –taxes are too high. And they’re right. Taxes are too high and need to be reined in. Two years ago, we enacted a fiscally responsible budget, and as a result, the State of Montana today has a historic budget surplus. Ultimately, that means you overpaid your taxes, and we’re giving it back to you. When we released our Budget for Montana Families last November, we again held the line on spending, and we focused on providing hardworking Montanans with meani...

I always seem to be a step behind. Call me Johnny-come-lately. When everyone else was wearing Gore-Tex, I was still in leather and wool. When all my friends were listening to cassettes, I was rockin’ out to eight-tracks. While planning a trip last week to North Dakota to get a boat repaired, I sought directions online to the location of Swenson Marine in Bismarck. As I was reaching for a pen and notebook to copy the information from my laptop, a brilliant thought struck me; take a picture w...
Five Malta churches joined together to host a three-day Vacation Bible School last week for the community children.

Participating churches included The Little White Church, the Assembly of God Church, Elim Lutheran Brethren Church, Grace...

For two nights the thunderstorms have been amazing! The lightning was really bright, but the thunder wasn’t very loud. We even got a little rain both nights! It didn’t get measured in my new rain gauge though! I had a bout of stomach flu off and on for a week. I actually went to the ER for an IV to replenish the fluid I’d lost. I thought I was getting well, and it came back and hit me low again. I’m definitely getting better this time! Lu and I traveled to Malta on Monday evening for a GPDM mo...
We experienced a short-lived weather disturbance on Sunday with lots of thunder, lightning, and wind but not much rain. We were hoping it would go ahead and rain, the ground top dries out so fast and cracks. As much rain as we were having it is surprising the grass is so dry. Be nice to have all the rain out of its system so as not to disturb the fair. They have really been busy at the Fairgrounds---at the end of the week it will be a beehive of activity. It is supposed to stay terribly hot all...

Once upon a time in the early years of the twentieth century, a family of sons decided to look for better work and took off from Michigan traveling west. They stopped traveling and claimed sections of land north of Malta. The father, James Stubblefield, claimed the first half section and received the patent on it in 1916. Then, gradually, each son proved up on a half section close by their father's land. Archie Stubblefield proved up on the half section to the east. As time went on, James' land...
