The day was October 10, 2024. It was a day that Kristy Mooney had looked forward to for over 40 years. Though it took four decades, the matter was over.

1 yrs ago Oct. 22, 2014 ** Correction to last week’s entry about the Mustang football team: Coach Nick Oxarart’s Mustangs have outscored the Wolf Point Wolves 399-19 since 2006. That Friday playing the Cut Bank Wolves, they came away with a win of 32-15. A river was flowing in the middle of several blocks in Malta, due to a crack in the cast iron main near the intersection of South 1st Ave. East and South 7th Street East.

Greetings my fellow Phillips County citizens, I've been asked various questions regarding the public safety mill levy and the common themes are, "What am I getting for my money'?", and, "I never see a patrol vehicle drive by my residence.

The money also pays for the equipment (i.e. phone systems, radio...

On Monday, October 21st, we welcome Montana's own, The Lucky Valentines. The Lucky Valentines have written upward of eighty songs, and use a mix of folk melodic sensibilities, tight harmonies, and a whole lotta love to make sad things beautiful. Their sound could be bottled up as "Bruce Springsteen and Patty Griffin meet Shovels and Rope in a Gypsy Junkshop". He sometimes uses a thirdhand suitcase as a kick drum, and the rotary phone from her father's shop as a mic. She blends classical violin...
