Throughout a law enforcement officer's career, he or she may be called upon to set aside their safety in order to save another person's life. Such an incident took place on the evening of July 9, 2023. Phillips County Deputy Sheriff Matthew Roberts responded to a disturbance at Nelson Reservoir at approximately 11:50 P.M. and found a juvenile female in the water 75 yards off-shore. It was apparent to Deputy Roberts that the girl was struggling to stay above water. Without hesitation, Deputy...
On Thursday, August 3, the entries started showing up and finding a new home for the next three days. Anxious little crafters and artists brought their projects in the hopes to appeal to the judge. Truth be known, the eager young ones weren't too worried about what "color" was attached when the judging was done...the fact that it merited a ribbon was all the little eyes scanned for. The steel building, that "used to" house just the 4-H entries, was the center for all 4-H, education, needlework,...

I saw the two sides of Montana last week, one still green and lush, bustling with commerce and traffic, the other already dry, the landscape turning to khaki, with sparse traffic and few people. The influx of folks moving to Montana is hardly noticeable where I live in Malta, a small town with a declining population. But what Malta has to offer isn’t what newcomers to the state are looking for. There are no trout streams up here, and no snow-capped peaks. The muddy, slow-moving Milk River skirts...
The conclusion of my family’s trip to Sweden. I have been on an airplane several times in my life, including a flight to Montana 11 years ago. During my flights years prior to our trip to Sweden, I do not recall being afraid during any point of the flight. This time was different. I had moments of nervousness before the flight, nervousness during the flight, and nervousness during the landing. This was during all five flights. I have no idea what caused this fear. Another weird fear that I h...

Here in the Whitewater area, farmers and ranchers are swathing and baling hay. Soon they will prepare for harvest. So much farming depends on the weather.

She flew from Arizona to attend the PC Fair! She entered bread, doughnuts, and others and she won! My friend Irene Wendalyn and I went to the fair on...
The weather was perfect this week. Moderate temperatures, and a couple of evening showers, but the wind was vicious for a few days. Harvest is well underway! I think the amount of grain is up there! The farmers deserve a good year! My sister Dee Arndt from Kalispell drove across the mountains to help me out sorting and throwing everything from the farmhouse. We got a lot done and took several loads to town and MOI. No clothes but lots of glassware. Cindy Clark and Carol Lumsden stopped in on...
