It was six weeks ago that Mrs. Anna LaBrie started to gather different plays together before deciding which one was worthy enough to be performed for the citizens of Malta and surrounding areas as an audience. One week later, LaBrie decided on Urban Legends and had held play auditions to see which student suited the part of each character. On Monday, October 23 and Tuesday, October 24, the play was unveiled. Urban Legends is a play based on a group of horror tales that some may relate to...
The Malta City Council approved a motion that will allow the City of Malta to discuss selling lots at the old Phillips County Airport to the Phillips County Motors Sports organization which currently run their events there during race season.

We all know eastern Montana is a food wasteland. It's about the only thing I hear people complain about consistently from Havre to Poplar. The watering holes are few and far between. And they usually aren't very good. Amazingly, Heidi Pippin and her cast of family and friends have stepped in to get the job done in Saco. If you read nothing further, hear me now: Pip's Diner is great place to eat. The latest incarnation in a line of local eateries (next door to Old Brand Saloon), Pip's is a...

The church was packed with family and friends, some from far away as Billings. Rodee’s big brother also attended. The Harvest Dinner at Whitewater Lutheran Church is Sunday, N...

Dear Editor, This episode was told to my husband and me by a young Montana instructor: A high school boy had stated that he intended to kill himself. The next day he was found dead! It bothered me for sometime as to why the teacher didn’t ask the student into his office to converse or, better yet, invite him to share a delicious home-cooked meal at the teacher’s home that evening. After a period of time, I considered the family the teacher was raised in — there was the answer, loud and clear! It was never known that family members “hopp...
The death of an Illinois man caught my attention last week. Chase Shott, 26, died in a fall near Mystic Lake in the Beartooth Mountains. It was one of those “There, but for the grace of God goes me,” moments. I took a fall there years ago. It was early October 1973 and I was working for Hiland Guide Service in Cooke City as a cook and wrangler. My friend Bill Butler was guiding a hunter who’d drawn a sheep tag, and the three of us backpacked in to a spike camp at the far end of Mystic Lake....
Every once in a while I run out of things to write about. When that happens, divine intervention can come through at times. This time intervention came from a flick of the finger, as I cleanly removed a Box Elder Bug from the outside of my water cup. These Box Elder bugs have been pretty annoying. I admit they aren’t as terrible as cockroaches or some of the other bugs I have experienced but man are they creepy. When you see swarms of them outside, it’s gross but when you can’t even get away...

Phillips County is very lucky to have a Theatre still operating in Malta. One hundred years ago a dedicated man by the name of R.M. Trafton worked to bring theatre to our town. I enjoyed this article that was in the newspaper and thought others might enjoy it. “A crowd which in a metropolitan city would have brought out the Standing Room Only sign was the condition that greeted the McPhee-Downie Co on the opening night of Trafton’s new Theatre. From pit to dome every seat was occupied, the attendance probably being double of that of any previou...
While Polly Solberg was in Great Falls she visited Sid and Merrimae Solberg, Ed and Sarah Ostlund and Jim and Kelly Solberg before returning home. The parishioners of the Lutheran Church enjoyed a delicious brunch after church on Sunday. Condolences are sent to the family of Lila (Boos) Raymond in her passing. She was well known and enjoyed in the community for years. Everyone enjoyed her wit and laughter. The wind has been blowing steadily and hard for several days. The colder temperatures...

LORING NEWS I have experienced 97-degree weather last week along with the low 30's this week. Last week my sister, Debbie and I went to Phoenix for a few days to visit out brother Scott and his wife Roxanne. We had a great time! The flights were basically on time and smooth, no crying babies that I heard. We visited the Butterfly Wonderland, the Museum of the West, and went to Lorie Morgan Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum! We went out to eat at the California Cheese-cake Factory. But...

A fine tuned system was in place with Mary Waters taking money and orders from participants. Each paid $30 for a c...
