Although the Sons of the American Legion has only been active in the Malta/ Saco area for less than 3 years, they have been in existence elsewhere for a lot longer. The Veterans of WW II and earlier conflicts encountered many individuals and relatives who patriotically supported all veterans. To offer the non-veterans a group to channel their energy into the Sons of the American Legion was organized. The club is open to male descendants, adopted sons, and step-sons of Veterans of military service. These so called (Squadrons) are sponsored,...
Reading the front page of any newspaper should almost never include perusing opinions. The bad news is, this spot is opinion, mostly, except for the fact that I blundered big this week…no fake news there. As Monday morning ticks into the afternoon, and we are now 31 minutes past deadline, I can’t find my voice recorder which contains several interviews for stories I am tasked with writing today, all from memory (and some chicken-scratch notes). The Malta Walleye’s 30th annual banquet preview story, the Malta High School Spring Play previ...

An estimated 5.8 million people are living with the disease, and nearly 14 million will have the disease by 2050. Families are struggling under the emotional, finan...
I spit in a tube last week. My wife made me do it. She wants to know who I am. I thought I knew, but perhaps who I think I am is just who I identify as and not who I really am, or is, or was. Until recently I was unaware I had options. Now, it seems, I can be all that I can be or want to be without ever joining the Army. It’s my choice. So I choose to self-identify as … Who knows. I can’t make up my mind. The choices are overwhelming. As much as I’d like to be a tall, muscled, young black m...
I have to admit something. I am terrible at doing chores. No, not because I am a guy, but I think it has something to do with my attention span. Back when I was growing up, when it came to cleaning, I was the star of the show. After school, my two younger brothers would try to clean the house for our parents before they got home from work. It was during this time that we were taught how to clean dishes, wash our clothes, clean the bathroom, and everything else. I used to think I was great at...

On Tuesday Mary Cole of Helena came to stay with her parents and help for a while. Teri has been seen out walking again, first with the help of her kids and then alone.

The weather has certainly changed — it is sunshine and war...
