Fight for the Blue and White was the theme for this years' homecoming in Malta. High School Principal Shawn Bleth said, "I was very happy with the choice of the theme this year.

Tuesday was Color Wars, Wednesday was Generation Day, Thursday was Athlete vs Mathlete, and Friday was Blue and White Day. On Friday, the school held a pep rally attended by the entire school...

Lately, deliberate misrepresentations have been circulating regarding American Prairie’s proposal to graze bison on six federal allotments in Phillips County. While most Montanan’s who have commented thus far clearly welcome our proposal, some remain committed to a misinformation campaign based on rumors and misdirection. This only serves to perpetuate divisions and erode our civic fabric. As such, I am compelled to set the record straight. The Bureau of Land Management can issue grazing permits or leases and modify existing permits to sub...
I’d pretty much given up big game hunting and turned all my attention to birds. There were a number of reasons. I could shoot something every day for one. And if I was successful it didn’t take days to pack out the meat for another. But this season is different. Blame the drought or the heat or a combination of the two, but hunting birds lately is starting to feel more like an elk hunt. Over the first three days of the season, I saw one grouse and he appeared to passing through. I’m hunti...

This was our old Chevy truck. Dad and I really liked to drive that truck. Now we have given it to the dino museum. On each door, it says Great Plains Dinosaur Museum Malta, MT.

I hope someday I can have a ride in our old Chevy truck. -David Veseth...

“Treasure” is defined as a valuable object. Treasure comes in all shapes and sizes and surprising it might even be a slip of paper. The Museum was given several paper letters that are “treasures”. The letters were hand-written by a schoolteacher in Caldwell, Montana to her mother who lived in the East. Here is an excerpt from a letter about a 1920’s country dance she attended. She writes “The dance was all I had hoped for! An old-fashioned fiddler but playing up-to-date modern songs! And the men in this country sure can dance. Everyone wa...
