(AP) A Whitefish man has drowned while fishing along the Missouri River.
The Cascade County Sheriff’s Office says two fishermen discovered the body of 41-year-old Cleve Malmstrom south of Cascade on Friday. Authorities believe he slipped and fell into the river. He was wearing waders but not a life jacket.
Malmstrom’s raft was found tied up along the shore.
One of Malmstrom’s dogs was recovered but a chocolate Labrador named Deuce ran off when approached by emergency personnel. Anyone who locates the dog is asked to contact the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office.
Malmstrom, a native of Billings, graduated from Helena High School in 1990 and went on to play football for three years for the University of Montana Grizzlies.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25, at Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home, 3750 N. Montana Ave., Helena, with a reception immediately following the memorial service in the social center of the funeral home.
According to the Great Falls Tribune, Malmstrom was a distant relative of Col. Einar Malmstrom, the namesake of Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls.

For South Sudan mothers, COVID-19 shook a fragile foundation
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — Paska Itwari Beda knows hunger all too well. The young mother of five children — all of them under age 10 — sometimes survives on one bowl of porridge a day, and her entire family is lucky to scrape together a single daily meal, even with much of the money Beda makes cleaning offices going toward food. She goes to bed hungry in hopes her children won’t have to work or beg like many others in South Sudan, a country only a decade old and already ripped apart by civil war.
