Choosing winners in this year’s VFW Auxiliary Christmas Card Contest, in its fourth year, was no easy feat. “It took a long time this year,” said Carolyn Schmoeckel of the VFW Auxiliary. “We had a hard time because they were all so nice. It took six of us about five hours to pick the winners. They all have such great imaginations.” The children were asked to create Christmas cards that will be sent to veterans at the Fort Harrison VA in Helena. A total of 21 winners were announced last Thursday...
The Dodson School Christmas concert last Thursday featured 12 songs, lots of holiday cheer and a surprise visit by Jolly Old St. Nick. During the opening of the concert, Dodson Schools Superintendent Gary Weitz welcomed the crowd in the school’s gym and promised a great showcase. Shortly into his speech, Weitz got an unexpected phone call from a crowd favorite. “Hello…it’s Santa,” Weitz informed the crowd. “Yes, we are looking forward to you coming tonight…I will let them know.” Weitz said Sant...
I think the notion that the government is going to take my guns is preposterous. But no more so than the notion that the government will protect me from someone else with a gun. I’ve been hearing that the feds might take my guns since I was small and didn’t have any. Ditto with gun control legislation to keep me safe. Neither ever happened and I expect neither ever will. I’ve stopped listening to all the nonsense and taken matters into my own hands . All you nut-job jihadists and homeg...
Ever since it started snowing, it has been hard to get out of bed. While beautiful, winter is the most depressing season in my opinion. Thank God for sports, otherwise I might be a shut-in. Go to work, go home. Re-peat. Luckily this County has several competitive teams in the winter season. I love hearing the optimism in players’ and coaches’ minds at the start of basket-ball and wrestling season. To see the hard work of our local athletes played out in games and meets is en-couraging to me....
November 22, 2015 a letter was sent to the Mayor of Loring at the Saskatchewan/Montana border, Montana, USA. Philip Lowry is seeking information on international baseball games between the USA and Canada. I referred the “Mayor” of Loring to the Phillips County Museum and thought the Phillips County News could also reach out to our readers for help. Dear Ms./Mr. Mayor, I am extremely excited by an idea that recently occurred to me. For ten years, I have worked on a manuscript. The subject is international baseball, games between teams from two...
Dear Editor, I’m sorry I am unable to attend the Grand Re-Opening of the Albertsons store this week but I wanted to publicly express our congratulations, thanks and appreciation to our hometown store manager Cheryl Voegel, her awesome crew and the Albertsons company as a whole. Several years ago, Cheryl quietly told me, “I’m really working to get Malta a new store, this community deserves it.” It hasn’t been about boosting her resume – it has been about empowering her team, looking beyond corporate confines and understanding the “big pictur...
It’s been a pretty weird winter so far… there is no wind, there is hardly any snow, and there is no extreme cold. We all know the snow is coming, but I can’t believe we haven’t been dumped on yet. I must say that I am thankful for the weather otherwise travelling would be a nightmare. I spent the weekend in Three Forks watching the M-Ettes defeat Fairfield and Belt. There seems to be no ceiling on the potential of this basketball team. They are so deadly from every spot on the floor, despite playing with a sense of lethargy. I am super excited...

What a beautiful December we have had so far! A little snow, a little fog, lots of sun, and a full day of really hard wind! I suppose the below zero temperatures will hit one of these days! Whitney and Jay Blunt had a great time at the NFR in Vegas this past week. Amus and Everett stayed with Grandma and Papa Lumsden. They all went to Billings this weekend to visit Granny Ruth who is recovering and doing well! The Whitewater Independent Baptist Church after school kids club sang Christmas songs...
The holiday season is a period when lots of us feel overwhelmed by all the stress, tension and pressure it can bring. While the holidays usually hold great joy for many people, for some of us this time of year can leave us feeling overcome by the expectations that the world, and we ourselves, put upon us. One way to reduce holiday stress is to recognize that the "ideal" holidays we are constantly bombarded with through advertising, TV shows, magazine stories, social media and more, simply aren't real. No matter how hard we try, it's pretty much...
1 years ago December 16, 1915 Power line may come Indications at present are that the Montana Power Company may extend its high power transmission line east from Havre to points as far as Malta, says the Havre Plaindealer.

They come from near and far. All searching for a tidbit just a glimpse of their past. Some find a happy ever after story others find murder and mayhem. Regardless of the end result, 90% of those who come through the museum door looking for information on their ancestors are successful. Often the staff is able to find the homestead records and a copy of the original paper, sometimes our research library provides pictures of ancestors, even old newspaper articles giving a glimpse of the activities of those that came before us. Our success rate...
