The Malta Public School District is seeking public feedback regarding the exploration of a four-day school week for our schools. More and more schools in Montana are switching to a four-day week, including most of the schools in North East Montana. This is making it difficult to recruit new teachers and staff to our district. Additionally, it is making the scheduling of high school activities more difficult. This is not a vote for or against a four-day week, but rather a vote to gauge if the community would like the district to explore the...

My mother, a former high school English teacher, said cussing indicated a limited vocabulary. I never heard her swear. Dad, on the other hand, did swear on occasion, although not in mixed company, and there were certain words and phrases he never used or tolerated from me. I remember being knocked on my butt once after using the Lord’s name in vain. Profanity, however, has prospered since their passing. To a lot of folks, there’s rarely any polite company these days around which it’s impro...
Though I have a lot of respect for the honeybee, I loathe a yellowjacket, hornet, or whatever they are. As you all know, this summer has been crazy for the yellowjacket. My kids, like many on the hi-line, have been stung by these knuckleheads. So I got vigilant, setting a trap approved by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. This trap can be quite dangerous if used the wrong way. For example, do not put it in an area where your children play, do not remove it until it is dark and cold outside,...

On September 29, 2023, Ron Soennichsen, 85 years old, left for his next journey. Traveling down an open road, along a yellow line that never ends, with the good Lord by his side. Ronald Lynn Soennichsen was born to George and Anna (Mahlum) Soennichsen on July 20, 1938. He joined three older sisters, Alice, Glenna and Darlene. There were many recollections of him being spoiled as a child, but what would one expect as he was the firstborn son. As Ron grew, so did his family. He would eventually... Full story

In 1920, two Saco citizens William Scheele and O. R. Hawver spearheaded an effort to create a new county comprised of the eastern part of Phillips County and the western part of Valley County. The county was to be called Milk River County. The western boundary went from the Missouri River north past Content which would be in the new county. Then it jogged northeast past Bowdoin to Nelson Reservoir and then angled northwest to the Canadian line. The eastern boundary was just east of Hinsdale. Petitions for and against the new county were...

Time marches on and it is not always noticeable in any great manner unless one is aware of inevitable changes. Such is the aging of the world around us, and for those who live out of the area, coming home occasionally brings changes in the tour around town. While there are few new homes and buildings being built, a casual tour might enlighten your memory as to "what was"...back in the "I remember..." days. One bit of history is now just that...history. This last week the remains of the "old Merc...
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks recently euthanized a female black bear and two cubs after they were found in a garbage dumpster in Zortman. “It’s an unfortunate circumstance, but once bears learn to get food from unnatural sources, the safety risk for people escalates greatly,” said Drew Henry, FWP supervisor in Glasgow. “Even though bears aren’t as common out here in eastern Montana, they are around and can get into trouble if they find unsecured attractants.” Many times, bears are attracted to dumpsters, campground areas, and homes due to the...

"We worked on it all week in practice and our players did everything we asked of them. We challenged them to be more aggressive and they responded well. Our defense really stepped up this week, and...

We headed to the Great Falls XC Invite on Friday, September 29. Ava Hanley had a week of battling the crud that is going around so she stayed home to rest up and be ready for this upcoming week. Shelbi LaBrie was our only runner for the day and planned to compete with the Varsity group of A/AA runners. They sectioned the races off into two different groups of competitors, JV & Small Schools and then Varsity & Challengers. I thought Shelbi's times could get her into the Varsity race so she was...
