Nearly 300 people filed into the Milk River Pavilion in Malta on Saturday night to take part in the first Phillips County Proud Celebration which boasted free food, games for the kiddos, live music and a presentation of county families, organizations and businesses who have called this area home for over the last 100 years. "The Ranchers Stewardship Alliance is a rancher-led conservation organization and the ranching community is part Phillips County and ranching sustains a lot of our economy,"...
It's hard work being perfect, asks the volunteers down at the Malta Food Bank, because, once again, they are. The beginning of August saw a representative from the Montana Food Bank Network (MFBN) visit the Malta Food Bank for an inspection which all food banks in Montana are subjected to. Ranked for on proficiency, the Malta Food Bank was awarded a perfect score following the inspection...a score the center is becoming very familiar with. "That makes three times in a row," said June Cornell,...
Following a nearly two and half-hour meeting with over 20 members of the public, The Hi-Line Retirement Board of Directors replaced three current members of the board and voted in a new member to fill a vacant spot during a private, executive session. Howard Hammond takes over a vacant spot on the board, Bob Ziegler replaces Bob Maxie, Susy Johnson replaces Rick Mikkelson and Michelle Smith replaces Ken Wiederrick. Mikkelson said nothing else was decided at the executive meeting. “Their goal, if I may say, is to do everything they can to k...
This was going to be the season I could finally keep up with Jem. He’s 10 years old now – 70 in dog years – and although he looks the same as he has for years, I figured he must be slowing down. After all, he’s supposed to be aging much faster than I am. Therein lies my dog training philosophy: keep up as best I can until their paths and mine finally cross. It’s at that intersection of old hunter and older dogs that I expect to find my nirvana. In the meantime, I simply have to hustle to keep u...

Dear Editor, I recently attended a meeting of the Charles M. Russell NWR - Community Working Group (CMR-CWG) in Fort Peck. As I was driving home and thinking about all of the brilliant comments I should have made, it struck me that something was very wrong. The more I thought about it, I realized what the problem was. In my opinion, this working group is a non-governmental entity formed to allow stakeholders to brainstorm ways the surrounding communities could benefit ecologically and economically by working with the CMR---and vise versa. Most...
I was almost a fugitive the other day. I had no idea if it was because I was super tired or if it was because the pump didn’t have a card reader but last Tuesday I put $19.01 worth of unleaded plus in my gas tank and proceeded to drive off from the Sinclair Gas Station in Havre. I was about 15 miles east of town when it dawned on me that I didn’t pay for my gas. I freaked out a little bit and frantically pulled over thinking, I have to make it back before they call it in and I become ano...

I started writing this column because my mom said, "People who have moved away still get the newspaper and they want to know if anything is happening at Loring. But no one writes up anything so why don't you do it, Dixie?" So here I am many years later even after she has gone, still writing up a few things that I know to be happening in Loring. Dixie Stordahl hosted bible study on Wednesday. Carol Lumsden and Whitney Blunt and I studied about Jonah and how he survived the whale's digestive...
