It seems these days that more and more people are becoming aware of mental health issues and are not scared to come out and say, "Hey, I need help." Seeing superstar tennis player Naomi Osaka push for more mental health awareness and having the most decorated Olympian of all time with 28 medals, Michael Phelps, admit that he has problems and that, "It's ok to not be ok," has opened a lot of discussion on that subject. We, as a community, are lucky to have a resource right here in Malta,...

Biologists for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are expecting that many areas of the region will be challenging for upland bird hunting this fall. However, some areas with good habitat conditions should have fair bird populations for hunters prepared to find them. Habitat conditions, spring adult populations, and recent brood observations vary widely across the region for all species. Most noticeably, the severe drought has negatively impacted vegetation throughout the season and has likely led to a decrease in nest and brood success of all...

I always get a feeling of melancholy this time of year. When I was young it was brought on by the realization that school was about to start again, that the endless days of summer were not so endless after all. Now it’s brought on by those necessary seasonal chores summer’s passing requires, one in particular. We pulled the pontoon boat out of the water last week. We’re not done fishing yet, but we have another boat for that and it’s kept in the garage when we’re not there. The pontoon stays in...
Last Wednesday was the first day of school for my oldest son and new second-grader, PJ. I also had the privilege of staying at home with my youngest son Lincoln, a three-year-old. Lincoln is an inquisitive young lad, who asks over 200 questions a day. Though I used to joke about a talkative person trying to talk underwater, I almost fell over when Linc told us about a scare that he had on a water slide. He said, “I tried to talk underwater.” Thankfully, mom was there to pick him up out of the wa...

As Covid raises its ugly head in Phillips County a dear friend comes to mind. She and her mother both passed due to Covid. In remembering, a story came to mind about the grandmother of my friend. Grandmother was quite a lady. She came from Minnesota to Montana with her family in the early 1900s. The early years were hard with the family living in tents during the summer when their house burned down. In rebuilding the family pulled up fence posts, stood them end to end, and made their home.
