On Sunday afternoon, nearly 200 people gathered outside the Antique Modes of Transportation Museum and Parking Lot on Highway 2 in Malta to catch a glimpse of Phillips County's newest museum. While the 1930 Model T and the "Mud Wagon" inside the new structure are a spectacular site and played a part in the large turnout, once the dedication speeches for the museum started it was easy to tell that most folks showed up to hear about the man the museum is in honor of, Claude Ezra "Ezzie" Ereaux....

I’d been warned. When Barb and I moved to Malta we were given a heads up about the wind, the cold, and the mosquitoes. Longtime Montana residents, we figured we’d already seen it all. Frigid temperatures are a given anywhere in Montana come winter. We used to live in Livingston where on occasion the wind blows train cars of the tracks, and we were also no strangers to mosquitoes. Or so I thought. Then I went hunting yesterday -- a short outing with Ace in search of sharptail grouse -- and end...
I timed myself this past Friday. It takes me exactly four minutes to get from my back porch to the 50-yard line of the Mustangs football field. The only reason I timed myself on Friday is because for the second consecutive week, I made the walk back and forth, prior to kickoff, because I had left something vital to any reporter at home before the kickoff of each game. Two Fridays ago, said vital important was a pen. A reporter at an event without a pen is about a useful as a fork in a sugar bowl. The item I forgot this past Friday prior to the...

One was a quarter horse and the other a thoroughbred. Congratulations. Marlene had medical appointments in Great Falls and Washington. Hope you are feeling better, Mar-lene. My apologies to Steve Young. I said he “raced and owns race cars” in last week’s Phillips County News. Actually, they are Corvettes an...

In any sport, it is crucial to get wins in your own division or district, not overlooking any opponent or taking them for granted. Last week the M-ettes defeated Harlem and Poplar, while dropping a game against Chinook, who isn’t a district foe. “These games were important because it helps us practice and get better for harder teams that we will meet in divisionals,” said Markelle Lett, who is the M-ette team setter and captain. They will see tougher competition this week as they take on Glasg...
The Saco-Hinsdale Wildfire started the season off with a roar, winning their first two games. This past week was different as they saw tougher opponents Poplar and Nashua and eventually lost the matches.

On a blustery chilly overcast day where the mosquitoes were more numerous than imaginable, 135 runners converged on the Marian Hills Golf Course for the running of the 2014 Malta Athletic Club Invitational Cross Country Meet. With the large number of runners, the competition would prove to be fierce, especially in the boy's race. The overall winner of the high school boy's three mile race that took place at the Marian Hills Golf course near Malta was Tristen Belgarde of Rocky Boy with an...
Keith Stine dropped by the office of the PCN Monday morning after seeing the Phillips County Memories Photo of the 1939 Malta Mustangs Football team photo that ran last week. Keith, a junior on that 1939 team, said that though the team had a good season, it was not as good as the team's season in 1940 (he and Jack Lang were the Co-Captains of the '40 squad.) Back in those days, Class B Football in Montana didn't crown one state champ, but rather four regional champs. After Malta secured the...
The Poplar Indians football team came to town on Tuesday for the home opener for the Malta Mustangs Freshman and Sophomore squad. The two teams slugged it out to a 6-6 stalemate in regulation, sending the game into overtime. Poplar stopped the Mustangs and four down in the first frame of OT and booted a 20-yard field goal on fourth down to win the contest. Poplar doesn't field a varsity football team this season so their rosters featured 11 upperclassmen (seven seniors) but the young Mustang...
