You are only limited by your own boundary and mind. As the evening became chilly and the friendship and laughter blended, friends gathered Saturday night at the VFW Club for a New Year's Eve dance and celebration. One of those dancing and celebrating was Noel Emond who deals daily with the walking (and waltzing) support of his armed walker and his oxygen tanks. It may slow him down and you will probably not see him break dancing, but he has been known to "brake" while dancing to avoid collisions...

Chances are if you don't have a teenager, you may be one, or know one. In today's world, full of choices and decisions, making a wise and smart choice might be difficult. Gone are the days of "Leave It to Beaver" and "My Three Sons". Also, gone are the days of "Opie" with "Aunt Bea" keeping a watchful eye on you in those rough and formative teen years. Nothing hurts worse than the reality that our children can be a challenge at times, and sometimes...a pain in the patootsie. How we react during...
While doing research at the library last week, I had the privilege to meet two young (and aspiring) individuals that were proof that there are still those who believe in a few things, one of those being patriotism. With their library aide, Sarah Osmundson, young Lincoln Bibbs and Andi French proudly recited the Pledge of Allegiance before their weekly lesson at "Story Time". If only their enthusiasm and energy could be encapsulated and shared! Nice work, keep it up! All three of you are an...

Snowball 2022 is but a memory tucked next to tired boutonnieres and corsages, and what a memory it was. The evening was Friday, December 23, and the "Grand March" was held at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Students from Malta and their dates or friends from neighboring towns, and home-schooled students showed up in numbers with sparkle and dazzle. Gowns that were runway worthy were stunning beneath the spotlight and for just one moment in time, each couple or group had the eyes of the audience on...

One of the very best Christmas traditions in Phillips County is reading the letters to Santa in the Phillips County News, and we thought it might be fun to see what some of us “big kids” had to say to him when we were the ones leaving out the milk and cookies. In 1977, Malta first graders were asked what Christmas meant to them. Luke Brown noted that “it is good to give presents. Christmas is love,” while Rhonda Dalby wrote, “I love Jesus. I love God. Christmas means you can play with toys, I like Santa.” Saco first grader Marty Jensen noted, ...

Linda DeVries, one of the volunteers that had spent hours of time prepping the youth for their performance...

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...
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...

The winter wonderland of enchantment filled the crisp air the evening of Thursday, December 1, as the young and the old came to partake in the Christmas Festival at the Phillips County Museum. Arriving, as was the word received earlier, Mr. Ebenezer greeted guests and even threw on a smile on occasion, just to keep people guessing whether they were in the right place! Decked out and looking quite debonair and dashing, his carefree and cynical grouchy attitude was the only gloom on the night...
