Malta Public School's most recent school board meeting took place last Wednesday, September 11, and at the meeting's outset, Board Chair Mark Knudsen remembered that fateful day in 2001 when the United States was attacked and nearly 3,000 people lost their lives.

The newest display at the Phillips County Museum was a bit of a trick to get into place. The massive taxidermy piece pits two bull elks against one another, their antlers locked in battle, just the way they were found in seven years ago in the South Phillips County's Larb Hills by Will Carlson. "This is a great addition to the museum," said Phillips County Museum Board Chairman David Rummel. "But it was a community effort to get it up there." The "up there" Rummel refers to is a good 10-feet in...
Hanging in the halls of the Business Center in downtown Malta is a painting of a grizzly bear and no matter where you stand, the animal is looking at you. Andy Scott painted the grizzly bear shortly after moving to Malta and many who have seen Scott's paintings will agree that he amazingly captures a feeling on canvas and his talent is seen in all of his works of art. It was 18 years ago when Scott was 17-years-old and a senior at Powell High School in Powell, Wyo., that a tragic wrestling...

I can’t get a stretch of trail out of my head. It must be the season. I haven’t been there for years, but years ago I walked it many times every fall. The stretch of trail I keep seeing isn’t particularly scenic or rugged. It’s not near the beginning or the end, but somewhere near the middle. While it’s deep in the mountains and only a couple of miles from the top of the divide, the timber is so thick there you’d never guess what’s ahead. It’s not an official trail -- marked only by faint b...
