There was "No Room at the Inn," years ago at Christmas time, and there was standing room only Sunday evening at the Malta Community Church as the families and guests gathered for the Christmas program. Preschoolers and young ladies and gentlemen to fourth grade opened the evening with three selections on the bells. The night and atmosphere were set for a joyous welcome and entertainment. Linda DeVries, one of the volunteers that had spent hours of time prepping the youth for their performance...
Thursday, December 8th, the Local Advisory Council (LAC) of Malta, met at the Tin Cup for a “Holiday Humor Event”. The LAC members had invited all the clergy of Malta and guests to join them for a time of sharing and each was invited to share a joke or funny story with the group. The LAC recognizes that many within our community suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affect Disorder), a leading contributor to depression. From there, the situation can cause the onset of other issues and the group shared with one another laughs and stories. Some of sto...
There is a strong possibility that the youth of today have no idea how Christmas "used to be," back in the "olden days." Now, remember, to the youth of today, that might be ten years ago. Or less. In the modern age of technology and electronics, the history and memories of the season may be fading. While some families pass along traditions, there are many who do not know of any type of celebration other than what they experience as December rolls around. This story is the sharing of Christmas's...
Gertie replies to Moe's letter in the 12/7/22 PCN Dear Moe, Horace flew the coop. I didn't think he'd ever get shet of his mother's apron strings. Mamie, next door was working in her garden and heard the whole shouting match. Horace told his mother he was going to buy a new car and she blew a gasket. You know what a penny-pincher she is, She figured he could just keep on driving his dad's old rattletrap. You know it's older than the hills. And anyway it wasn't her money he's spending; he's old enough, being past forty and of sound mind and...
The writer of a letter to the editor in last week’s paper claimed the reintroduction of wolves to Montana is an effort to exterminate the deer and elk in the western part of the state. As a result, hunters have flocked to eastern Montana where there are no wolves, and consequently, more deer and elk. I beg to differ. Wolves were actually reintroduced to Montana by way of Yellowstone Park. And while they did wreak havoc on the elk herds there, that’s not western Montana. Western Montana is a str...

This week of Sunday, December 11, is cold and I was told today that the next two weeks were to be even colder. They talk of the global warming, but it seems to be getting global colding to me. Sunday (today) had heavy snowing in Havre and west of us today. We could use less for a while and then some in a couple months to fill reservoirs and water holes. By then we might start getting a little warmth. There were only a few people out at the center for lunch on Friday, but they had a very nice...

Brrr...it’s definitely winter in Montana. Time to circle the table and play cards. There is a legend that says cards came to America with Christopher Columbus. Sailors are a superstitious lot, and it seems the voyage of discovery had bad luck following it on the sea. Looking for a culprit to blame some of the men decided that playing cards on the ship had brought bad luck! So, over the side of the ship the cards were thrown. Luckily, for all of us, one sailor must have secretly held back a deck of cards and so, cards came to America. Stay w...
