"We're excited...we've had a great response from the community...," were words and thoughts shared by both Tony and Emily Simonsen, who are preparing to open the assisted living facility in Malta. Hopefully, within a couple weeks' time, the doors to the "River's Bend Assisted Living " (River's Bend) will open with new residents. Just a nice drive to the southwest of Malta, a trip of 391 miles, taking just over six hours, Tony and Emily hail from Sheridan, Montana. Simonsen's recently purchased...
The summer sun rested peacefully in the western sky last Wednesday evening, and day was turning into night. All that could be heard was the chirp of a cricket or a mosquito zapping into an electric zapper. The birds were quiet and the good people of Malta were retiring. Then there are a few that didn't go to bed, and by no means were peaceful. These are the ones that spent their time showing off their talents, lack of respect, maturity, and plain ol' common sense and vandalized the skate park in...

Nearly seven months after the end of last year’s hunting season -- cut short by an old-man ailment -- I’m ready to go again. At least I think I am. Almost every morning for the last couple of months the dogs and I have walked a brisk mile. At least Ace and I cover a mile while Dot does at least three times that racing through the sagebrush. Fortunately, I don’t have to keep up with her. An electronic collar keeps Dot in check. Ace, on the other hand, is kept in check by his advancing age. Stone...
This past week I was introduced to the Medicine Hat Lodge (MHL). What I didn’t know was that many people around here have experienced this hotel in Southern Alberta, as well as the many water slides in that area. Though my sons seem to be afraid of heights, they had a blast on the two water slides at the MHL. The first day, PJ went on the slides over and over, making a few new friends while doing so. Despite enjoying the smaller slides at other hotels in Canada, Lincoln didn’t get on the wat...
Police raiding a newspaper and confiscating reporting material seems like something one would expect to find in a banana-republic, or in a scene from a dystopian novel. Yet, that is exactly what happened recently to the Marion County Record. The Record is a weekly newspaper in rural Kansas, serving a population of approximately 1,900 and known for its dogged reporting on various issues affecting the community. On August 11, the newspaper office was raided by the Marion Police Department as was the home of its 98-year-old co-owner, Joan Meyer,...
The State of Montana, through its Attorney General Austin Knudsen, called on a federal judge today to keep Montana’s law banning TikTok in the state in effect while the case proceeds in federal court, citing well-documented concerns over the app’s massive data-harvesting practices and access to that data granted to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials. The Montana legislature passed and Governor Greg Gianforte signed Senate Bill 419 (SB 419), which requires TikTok to stop operating in the state and prohibits mobile application stores fro...
Sympathy for the victims of the fires in Hawaii. Beware of all fires. Kyler Venable and Serena (his mom) were on the TV and radio this morning, thanking people for their generosity and donations given to him. Especially the $15,000 given to him by a basketball group that held a fundraiser. Kyler was in a terrible accident in which he ended up losing part of his leg. Kyler lives in Miles City. Note: He is Jeannie Green’s grandson. If anyone wants to help, contact Jeannie. We all pray for K...
Two days of intense heat, in the high 90s or low 100s! It almost did me in but the cool weather came in on Saturday and it was such a relief. It is still cool on Sunday, but the breeze is still present. Hopefully, the harvesting is wrapping up. An unusual weather phenomenon is happening on the west coast. A hurricane has developed and is now pushing up the coast of California. It is now called a tropical storm, but pushing northward so even Montana is in the path. The main thing that is...
We received some rain on Sunday so it should spruce it up again for a while. It also cooled it down from the terrible heat we were having and soon we will be wishing for it again. Polly Solberg made it home on Saturday after several days in Billings and Miles City. School starts this week again so kids will be busy. In some places, it started last week. Teri and Asher Leys of Choteau came to visit Dora Henry for a few days and got some fall work done. I wish I had some of his young energy. Get...

The Trafton Park Arena gave spectators one last night of rodeo before the school year began in Malta, as close to 40 cowboys performed at the Fourth Annual Craig Mangis Memorial Rough Stock Rodeo last Saturday. "Very good rodeo, I felt," Trafton Arena Committee President Jerey McEwen told the PCN. "We tried to keep the action going fast but when you are constantly at the bucking chutes it's hard to keep rolling things in fast. These guys are young and some are pretty green and rushing things...

This summer I looked at the derailed Amtrak coaches at the dump near Chester Mont. This summer when I was riding my bike along 191, I was able to visit with some workers from Billings Mont. They are doing construction work up at the place where Promises used to be. The place where they work is located in Billings where K-Mart used to be near Independence School....
