Stephne Erickson took over ownership of Malta's Hitchin' Post from Jamie Ulrich on the first day of September and is happy she did. "I've had great support from the community," Erickson said. "The customers who came before are continuing to eat here and it is wonderful." Erickson is a Phillips County native who graduated from Saco High School in 1983. Erickson said she had worked at restaurants throughout both high school and college – both O'Brien's Café and the Sleeping Buffalo Supper Club ...
You may have heard about Scrip loans during the holiday season, but whether you are new to our area, or a long time resident, you may not know the benefits of this community supporting program. Scrip is a substitute for legal tender, and commonly in the form of credit. It can be traced back to logging and mining days where draws on wages could be done at company stores. In modern times, it’s a way for you to keep your spending local and balance those budget needs during the holiday season. Residents can apply for up to a $1,000 loan from any l...
Phillips County Hospital was recently awarded the LifeCenter Northwest's – Tissue Donation - Referral Achievement Award.

Tissue donation is extremely time sensitive and ensuring referral calls are made quickly allows for best outcomes. Hospitals, such as PCH, who achieve compliance rates at 95-percent or greater demonstrate a f...
A call to the phone number for Footloose Montana, the organization behind the initiative to ban trapping on Montana’s public lands, yields only an automated voice requesting you state your name for the party’s approval. Only if Footloose accepts your call will you be directed to organizer Chris Justice. The system was implemented after a series of anonymous death threats. The phone security is one of the first hints of the intensity of the debate over the initiative, I-177. It’s also a fight that has been going on since a couple founded Footl...
Few issues on this year’s ballot seem as innocent as Constitutional Initiative 116. The proposed amendment to the Montana Constitution would create a set of codified rights for crime victims. It also has the potential to be one of the biggest changes to the constitution since it was ratified in 1972. Who could oppose that? Derek VanLuchene, president of the Helena-based non-profit Ryan United, said the initiative, also known as Marsy's Law, would ensure crime victims have a legally required voice in criminal proceedings. “I think CI-116 wou...
At least the dogs didn’t get thirsty. I had big plans for the opening of pheasant season. The creekbottom where I’d been hunting sharptail grouse since the first of September was thick with roosters. Some friends were coming up for the weekend and that’s where I was planning to take them for the opener. On the second day of the season we had permission to hunt a piece of prime block management land. But you know what they say about the best laid plans. It started raining Monday and didn...
The first week in October, I traveled across Eastern Montana – 648 miles to be exact with stops in 14 towns: Malta, Glasgow, Scobey, Westby, Plentywood, Culbertson, Sidney, Glendive, Wibaux, Baker, Ekalaka, Broadus, Alzada and Ashland. Montana is a resource rich state. This includes agriculture as well robust coal, oil and natural gas potential -- which directly employs nearly 6,000 Montanans and supports the employment of over 43,000 Montanans, in addition to providing a critical tax base – for our schools, teachers, roads and bridges. I was...
Dear Editor, Public Access is not a Sportsman versus Landowner political issue. However, out of state activists like Sierra Club, ASPCA, Defenders of Wildlife, etc. are trying to make it one. Anti-hunting groups are attempting to increase their influence by pouring political action cash (PAC Money) into Montana’s state wide elections. The cause of newly blocked sportsman access is not landowners. The federal government is gating roads and abandoning trails. Federal overreach is impacting the jobs and recreational opportunities of both l...
Dear Editor, OK new Hi-Line Retirement Center "new" board - asked for transparency. So far have not seen anything in the PCN as to what is going on - with exception of a new administrator. How about all the overdue bills - rumors food providers demand cash - private patient accounts payable and Medicare and other billed services that were not up to date - how about the 5 million dollar USDA loan's activity and with the transferring of licensing to become a assisted living facility only - which I believe is to take place October 30th. What's...
The construction in Malta has been anything but delightful, no news there. The optimist in me, however, has found the silver lining in the Water Project and that is the betterment of my sense of direction and feel for the City of Malta. “A bend in the road is not the end of the road . . . unless you fail to make the turn,” Helen Keller once wrote. Well, old Helen never tried to understand the detour signs set up around Malta -- which she perhaps had a hand in setting up (just a thought.) Well, in the spirit of got lemons, make lemonade, I have...
When I was a kid, I wasn’t into scary movies. I thought it was pointless and dumb to be tormented by images on the television screen that often times ruled over your dreams as well. Then came high school. I don’t know if it was because I grew bolder or because my friends were talking so much about them but I decided to watch a scary movie called Thirteen Ghosts. For some reason, that movie almost made me excuse myself to the men’s room, but I kept watching. Then I had a brief hiatus with scary...

A recent donation to the PC Museum prompted a discussion on fraternal organizations. Different fraternal organizations trace their beginnings back to ancient Greece and Rome. The United States is especially dynamic in these types of organizations where the freedom to associate outside of government regulations is expressly sanctioned by law. A collection of items from the “Victory Knitting Club” proved interesting reading. The club was organized in 1918 during World War I. Their purpose was to provide warm items of clothing for “our soldi...

Montanans have been voting on initiatives about the medical use of marijuana since 2004 and this year will be no different. I-182 would reverse recent restrictions that limited medical marijuana providers to just three patients, all but eliminating access for more than 12,000 Montanans who have state permission to use the substance. But the initiative faces intense opposition from a group, Safe Montana, that failed to get its own initiative on the ballot. Safe Montana was pushing I-176 that would have banned all legal use of marijuana in the...
Domestic violence is more common than many people realize. The National Coalition Against Domestic Abuse estimates that more than 10 million women and men are the victims of some form of physical violence from an intimate partner each year. But while physical violence to a spouse or partner may be what most of us consider domestic abuse, the reality is that it can take many forms. Unfortunately, when the abuse is not physical there are many cases where the person being abused isn’t aware of how unhealthy the relationship is and that help is n...
