When the weather gets warmer and not below zero anymore, workers will start putting in the floor of the basement of the remodel job going on at a house near the Phillips County Courthouse in Malta.

After several days of slight melting and thawing it turned cold again on Saturday night so when we woke up on Sunday morning, after a light rain, it was very slick and hard to walk. It was rough from the melting and easy to slip everywhere. This week is supposed to be warm again so maybe we can get rid of some more of the snow. Gwen Ereaux fell at her home and broke her leg badly in at least three places. Get well wishes are sent to Gwen as she recuperates. The kids played some hard-fought...

Hunters and anglers can expect a few changes this year when they buy their 2020 licenses starting March 1.

For years, FWP licenses and tags have been produced on weather-resistant paper. However, this paper is not only expensive, but requires printing technology so outdated that it’s almost i...

I am hoping to take some of the students from that class to Dairy Queen for ice cream, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to take them all because it would be too expensive. I hav...
