Before we launch into Pearl Harbor, we must visit the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), who celebrates its birthday on December 1, of each year.

In the 1930s the office of Civilian Defense worked to create what would become...
Anyone wanting to salvage a road-killed deer, elk, moose or antelope must obtain a Vehicle-Killed Wildlife Salvage Permit.

Christmas trees sold this year by Glasgow Area Boy Scout Troop 861’s will not only be adorned with ornaments, but also turned into fish habitat. Lane Thompson, a member of Troop 861, and Fish, Wildlife & Parks fisheries staff are asking folks to return their trees after Christmas with the intention to use these discarded trees as artificial fish habitat. Returned trees will be bundled and placed on the ice at the Fort Peck Trout Pond later this winter, where they will remain until melting causes them to fall through and settle to the bottom. “T...
Gertie replies to Moe's letter in the 11/23/22 PCN Dear Moe, My loquacious friend boiled over today. She was running off at the head as she usually does when George took offense. "You've got a big mouth,” he said. "I do not,” she snapped, “I may talk a lot but I don't have a big mouth.” Then George said, “If you'd kept your trap shut we wouldn't be having this conversation.” "Well, I wasn't the one who called your girlfriend a floozy. That was Percy, and when you cast aspersions on his mother, he delivered the roundhouse to your jaw that sa...
The bull was bedded in the timber at the top of a spur ridge running off the mountain. There were no tracks on the side from which I approached so his appearance caught me by surprise. My rifle was slung, and he was gone before I could bring it to my shoulder. In one leap he vanished, only to reappear in my dreams. I can still see him if I want, whenever I close my eyes. He’s bigger now. Those that got away seldom shrink in size. I’ve shot other bulls – some large, some small -- and their antler...
I must say, I actually cooked up a decent turkey last week. I almost couldn’t believe it, but it wasn’t dry, it wasn’t severely underseasoned, and I didn’t burn glaze to the bottom of a pot. I have only attempted to make turkey a few times and my family has been supportive of my battles. They have assured me that each time I have tried, they have enjoyed it, but I simply was not proud of my turkey. This year was way different. For one, I didn’t put a lot of pressure on getting it done for Thank...
I was in Havre for Thanksgiving and except for very small piles at corners where they cleaned the streets, it is entirely bare. Lots of water around where the snow had melted. We were not so fortunate. We still have about half snow cover. It is staying pretty cold still-----got up to 42 today but has slipped down to 36 already now. Supposed to get really cold and I'm sure it will make it. The records have said this is one of the coldest Novembers, only about 5 days around normal. The forecast...
Last month of 2022, that year zoomed by! I guess it speeds up as I get older. I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas! Cindy Clark and I went to Malta on Monday to pick up some things we might have forgotten for Thanksgiving dinner. We went to see the festival of trees entries at the Phillips County Museum. The entries are very impressive! I hope everyone had a satisfying Thanksgiving holiday! Amanda Hendrix and Matthew Eads of Dickinson, ND were weekend guests for me. Matthew did the...

It can be one of the most joyous times of the year during the December holidays and New Year's day. Yet, it can also be stressful, emotional, and challenging for many families and individuals. More specifically, anyone struggling with a substance use disorder, individuals recovering from addiction, or the average person choosing to remain sober this holiday season. Holiday parties, work functions, and family gatherings during December often involve liberal amounts of alcohol, and it is frequently freely available. Powerful temptation is...
Spending time with family and friends at Thanksgiving remains important for many Americans and this year the cost of the meal is also top of mind. Farm Bureau’s 37th annual survey provides a snapshot of the average cost of this year’s classic Thanksgiving feast for 10, which is $64.05 or less than $6.50 per person. This is a $10.74 or 20% increase from last year’s average of $53.31. The centerpiece on most Thanksgiving tables – the turkey – costs more than last year, at $28.96 for a 16-pound bird. That’s $1.81 per pound, up 21% from last y...
The Malta Class of 1972 made a very generous donation of $6,000.00 to the Mustang Foundation. Talking with Malta High School Principal Mr. Bleth, it was decided that the best use of the money would be to purchase a new set of puzzle desks and chairs for a high school English room. Brian Robertson and his dad Dean (a high school principal in the 60' and 70's) made a very generous donation of $5,000.00. Other donors included: Dwayne Simanton Jr., George and Karen Ames, Karen Hould, and Laura...
On December 24, 1995, the Malta High School and Junior high were destroyed by a fire. As so often happens in this community, the people of Malta were eager and willing to help in any way that they could. Many people in our great state wanted to help so donations of money, materials, and time were made by many people and Malta students and Alumni, to get the kids back in school and sporting events. This event and desire of people to help the school and community gave rise to a group of individuals who wanted to establish a charitable foundation...

If there is a water line to add, a tank to set, or a unique water set up to try, it's likely Dusty Emond has done it on his ranch south of Malta, Montana. Of the nearly 12 miles of pipeline on his place, six new miles were added just last fall following the harsh drought of 2021 to send water to an additional 7,500 acres that could not be utilized by cattle last summer due to a lack of water. However, along that pipeline there are yet to be any tanks. "Even this year, we will have at least...
