In honor of the newest vehicle to their fleet, and fancy new paint jobs, the Phillips Transit Authority will be offering free rides aboard their buses each Friday of November, starting next week.

"We want everyone to know that they can ride our buses and we think Free Fridays is a great way to get that message out to the public. We are totally excited." The PTA recently added a new...

For the second year in a row I took my oldest granddaughter deer hunting. And for the second year in a row we came up empty. I hope she’s not too discouraged. If she is, she didn’t let on. In fact she was a real trooper. We hiked a good five miles through rough Breaks country trailing deer that never seemed to stop. She came close to squeezing the trigger, but wasn’t comfortable with the shot. We crossed the same half-mile coulee three times, climbed a couple of steep ridges, and when we decided...
Each morning that I arrive at the office, I make a pot of coffee to help me navigate my way out of the cobwebs and into productivity. We have a super-fancy Bunn Coffee Maker at the office that makes a mean cup-o-Joe and generally, before anyone else arrives at the office, I’ve got all the liquid consumed. Sometimes Pierre will show up also needing a pick-me-up and he will make another pot that I help him consume. Pierre normally likes to make the coffee a little bit stronger than myself, but then he only drinks a cup and I finish the pot off a...
Dear Editor, According to public record, in March 2009, Judge Gayle Stahl reported to her office under the influence of alcohol which resulted in a report to the Judicial Standards’ Commission of the State of Montana.

Apologies to Patty Young for leaving your name off f the Norsk list last week. Whitewater Lutheran Church was packed on Sunday with many activities. There was a baptism for baby Mykel Jenson – daughter of Haley Hammond Jenson – then there was the dedication of the new church sign (which was made at the school.) There were many guests there; the entire Hammond Family and some others I recognized were Rick Mickelson, Dan Waters, Marlene Holman, Dianne Mastel, and Annie. It ended with a del...
For some it was a necessity, a chore that had to be done each night by lantern light. For others left without husbands or family it was a better choice to make a living than more scandalous options. And for the privileged it was a way to showcase their skills to family and friends. Regardless of the reason the pioneer women of yesterday often found themselves with a needle and thread in their hands. You are invited to the PC Museum for an afternoon presentation that blends history and quilting. The date is Nov 4, time is 2:00 p.m. and...

October 29, 1914 100 years ago Local News: The Glasgow News says that when Phillips County is created it will cost Valley County 36 ½ percent of its revenues. A fellow by the name of Howe grew tired of staying in the county jail at Glasgow and early Tuesday morning proceeded to lock the jailer in a cell and made off. It was an old trick and a jailer who would let a prisoner get away in such a manner is easy. Last year our farmers realized over eight billion dollars on their crops. And yet, some long-legged, gander-shanked, addle-patted and...
I can be a knucklehead sometimes…. I wouldn’t advise anyone with a newborn to make an 18 hour trip anywhere. But my wife Susan and I did last weekend as we traveled to my hometown for my one-week vacation. To my son’s credit, he did really well considering, he strongly hates his car seat in the first place. What made the trip a little more stressful, was the fact that we only stopped to gas up, change the baby or walk off our tiredness in various Walmart locations in North Dakota and Minne...

This week however the Mustangs will open up against the Roundup Panthers who they beat 33-20 at Mustang field on September 19. Defeating Roundup proved to be...
Standing at number one in 2B volleyball, the Malta M-ettes look to capture the district tournament crown for the first time in Coach Julia Tatafu's program. Because of their 9-1 district record, the team is looking at a first round bye, and will not play until 5:00 tomorrow. Their opening opponents will be either Wolf Point or Harlem.

The Saco-Hinsdale Wildfire tied for second in 3-C volleyball with the Lustre Christian Lady Lions at 11:30 a.m. in Saco. Unfortunately both teams can’t have a bye game at this weekend’s tournament. So the teams had a coin flip, with Saco-Hinsdale winning, but the Wildfire opted to play the first game, rather than receive the bye week. While the notion may sound crazy to many, the reason for the team to face an opponent in the first round, it makes perfect sense. Many of the team’s key playe...
RJ Taylor, a former Malta Mustangs football standout, has been starting at left cornerback for the Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears. “My favorite part about playing for Malta, was just Malta’s tradition,”said Taylor, who is a 2010 graduate of Malta High. “Sports are what everybody lives for over there, so just being a part of any sport program that says Malta Mustangs is a pretty big deal.” He was only a freshmen at Malta High when they brought home the 2006 State B Championship. “I was the...
