Tim Hasler – your friendly neighborhood garbage man

Tim Hasler of Malta has been honored as the happiest municipal garbage truck driver in Montana. Not really.

But if there were such an award, Hasler, who operates the City of Malta's garbage truck, would be a shoo-in. Hasler, who has worked for the city for 31 years and started working on the garbage crew part-time in 1980, back in the days when crews emptied garbage cans into the garbage truck by hand, smiles, and waves to passersby from his driver's perch on the curb side of the cab of his Freightliner garbage truck.

Cub Scouts see calf born

The Tiger and Webelo Cub Scouts of Pack 432 toured the Phillips County Vet Clinic as a Go See It project. Veterinarians Dallas and Patty Maxwell, with assistant Greg Peterson, showed the Cubs around the clinic. During the tour, word was received that a rancher was bringing a cow in who was having trouble calving. A Cub inquired if they could watch the calf being born. Permission was given and all parents agreed their Cubs could watch this earth-shaking event.
