Larry Simpson has ridden in every Saco Fun Days parade, except for one, maybe two. One year he had to "go train the Wagon Train" and there might have been a knee surgery one year but that one doesn't count. It did take two years to "train the wagon train," but the second time they came right through town with the parade before heading onto Malta, so he made both. At 83 years old, Larry is as handsome and charming as ever. He still works at branding time. "I'd guess he hauls more to the fire...

With a new manager at the helm, both the Malta Emergency Medical Services and Malta Sheriff's Department Dispatch Officer Coleen Kautt are being honored by the Montana Department of Health and Human Services.

The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) is honoring Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel in...
This year’s Saco Fun Days, “Ropes, Wrenches & Reels: Celebrating Our Rural Way of Life” might be a bit different this year, but given some extra safety measures, fun times will still be had. “We are doing everything we can to keep everyone safe and healthy,” reports Saco Chamber of Commerce President Lacey Dee Beil. “We will have sanitation stations set up, and all of the events will be held outdoors in front of the bar, hotel, and café.” The weekend kicks off with a Cornhole Tournament at 7 p.m. on Front Street and food will be available at t...
The birds were really gathering and now there doesn't seem to be so many around so they must have moved south. This has been such fall weather lately----first roasting us out, then cold. The nights have been really cold but not quite frost yet--it's coming though. Some of the smoke and haze from the fires have finally reached here--some said it is noticeable on the highway in the morning. High winds and rain in the southern part of the state have helped to move it out. This last week has seen th...

Shanghai, Anyone? The Malta Senior Center is hoping to garner interest in the game of Shanghai, a form of rummy. The idea was presented to the board in the hopes of forming a group(s) of people interested in playing or learning the game. It is an involved game and can be lengthy but guarantees to provide hours of entertainment. Shanghai can be researched on the Internet to gain some knowledge of how it is played and scored, however, there will be a couple who would tutor’ you while playing. If interested, please call Barb Steven-654-1392; L...
My life revolves around two seasons: hunting season and not-hunting season. Not-hunting season is almost over. From Sept. 1 through New Year’s I spend more days hunting than not. It’s what I do. During not-hunting season I fish a bit, grow a garden, and pound a few nails to impress my wife. But mostly I count the days until hunting season. If hibernation were an option I’d consider it. Go to sleep at the end of hunting season and wake up when it starts again. Just sleep through not-h...
As many that follow Major League Baseball know, there are only 60 regular-season games in 2020 due to the threat of COVID-19. I am a White Sox fan. And last week was a great week for the team. As of Monday, August 31, the White Sox were in first place in the AL Central. On Tuesday, August 25, Lucas Giolito had thrown one of the greatest no-hit games in MLB history. And on Sunday, August 30, rookie Luis Robert hit a walk-off three-run homer, which put the Sox in first place. I haven’t had a c...
Hi, I’m Krista. I have been struggling with a way to start this column without introducing myself because you already know me, and if you don’t, you will read enough Grandpa Swede anecdotes in the coming weeks to figure me out soon enough. But I really don’t want to talk about me, I want to talk about us. I want to talk about who we are as a community, and who we have been, who we want to be. More than that, I want to tell you who we want to be as your newspaper. The first day that I met with Mark and Pierre we talked about how a paper is ba...

After months of uncertainty, the Malta Mustangs Football team was able to hold the Blue and White Scrimmage, marking their first event of the 2020 season. "It has been a weird crazy year since the middle of March so it felt good to get the kids out competing against each other again," Mustangs Head Coach Nick Oxarart said. "It's definitely not quite like the first game against an opponent but it was good to get out on the game field and try to simulate a more game-like environment." The event...
