We are continuing our informal Grief Support Group by having gatherings once a month. The first Wednesday of the month we will meet at 6:30 to 7:30 at Dianne Salsbery’s residence beginning in October. Our once a month meeting will provide support for those who have lost a loved one, family member or friend. Our meetings are very informal and you are never pressured to share. In addition to the meetings, we try to do something special with our group. Last year we painted bird houses, went kayaking and went out to eat supper as a group. We may g...
As the month of September “leaves” us we are left with gentle reminders of the ever presence of the military in our lives and community. A busy one, the month of September was filled with a time of reflection and remembrance time. The first week of the month was for suicide awareness and prevention. The high school students under the direction of Mrs. Sue Gilkerson created and displayed posters at the school. Military deaths are still occurring at the rate of 22 a day! While many struggle with the idea of it, too many see this as the only opt...

On Friday, September 17, she created and erected a quiet display in honor of our military that still are unaccounted for; some are MIA from combat conflicts. Some are still missing as a result of being held in prisoners as POW (Prisoner of War) from conflicts on enemy soil. Regardless of why these men and women have never come home...

Cow slaughter is now above the 2010-2013 level, the last significant liquidation that brought the US beef cow herd down to a 60-year low in inventory, said John Nalivka, president o...

You should go behind the Hi Line Retirement Center. In the field out back they have built a large garage for the Phillips County Transit buses. This garage will be very good when Malta has really bad cold and snowy weather. The garage has six big doors for the buses to go in and out safely.

The lawsuit seeks release of “Agency Bill Monitoring Forms” created by Gianforte and his staff. The forms are new to the executive branch, and precisely what they contain is a mystery, but they likely show whether the Administration believed bills advancing through the legislature had serious legal problems or were unconstitutional. The Governor has refused to divulge any inf...
