The posters at the Malta store follow an order on the Albertsons’ corporate website announcing Albertsons Companies is requiring its customers to wear face coverings across all of their locations when shopping at their stores for their protection and for that of their associates. “Throughout this pandemic, the health and safety of everyone who walks thr...
At the first Malta City Council meeting of July, Malta Municipal Pool Manager Kelly Cederberg had some pleasant, perhaps surprising news when she updated the council on the pool season. "The pool opened a few days late, but is good to go now," she said. The pool's delayed opening followed construction on the new bathhouse (currently, the pool is using a mobile bathhouse provided by Malta's Duane Murray, saving the City of Malta money) as well as trying to make the pool safe for social...

Workers have been putting final touches on the home across from the Phillips County Courthouse which had a basement installed this past winter. It looks nice. A week ago, Short Oil Road was closed so workers could repave portions of it. As far as I know, it has been many years since it was repaved. That works continue this week. Work also continues across from the former location of the NAPA store and I still hear that a new building might be built there in years to come. The building was...

And Kiana Simonson’s wedding in Huntley was attended by all the aunts and uncles and many friends! Congratulations to the three couples! On Sunday we c...
A comet has been described as a dirty snowball in space that is on an elliptical orbit around the sun. Its cycle takes many years traveling a long ways from the sun before turning back and gradually coming closer to the sun and developing a tail of debris flaring off the main core. Every so often we on earth are given the chance to observe it in the night sky. It is growing less visible as the month of July draws to an end, but I was able to see it a couple of nights. Find the The Big Dipper...

The NorthEast Corner Committee, sponsors of the Indian Relay and Chariot races at the Phillips County Fair in Dodson, announced last week that the races will not be held this year due to COVID-19 concerns. In a letter to Wes KillEagle, who runs the races at the fair with his family, the NorthEast Corner Committee said they are in total support of the races as they promote positive activity, but because of the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in Montana, said that they recommend the events be...

According to Alison Fox, CEO of American Prairie Reserve, expanding public access and hunting on properties it acquires continue to be a top priority for the...
I am sure many of you can relate to an instance where someone says something that can ruin your day. Well, it’s been over a week and I am still salty. I was covering a local event and was ready to tackle the day with a full head of steam, but within the first 30 minutes of working that day, I was called a racial slur by a man that was drunk. Does the drinking negate the behavior? I don’t think so. Does this person even remember his rant when he shouted two times, “He is an f-ing n*gge...

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is working with BOR to monitor this situation and its potential impacts to Fresno and Nelson reservoirs and the Milk River drainage. On Sunday, May 17, the...
