If you drove by the Phillips County Museum last Tuesday afternoon and happened to glance at the building, the scene would have looked much like it has all winter; closed and lonely. A look into the building, however, painted a much different scene as volunteers vacuumed, put shelving together, filed files and readied displays as the 2018 season at the Phillips County Museum begins with new light...literally. A total of 135 new light bulbs have been installed over the winter, making the switch...

I knew it was bad when folks around here quit saying we could use the moisture. Following last year’s wicked drought, I swore I’d never again complain about too much rain or snow. There was a time – not so long ago—that I thought it would never end. Up until the middle of December, the weather remained warm and dry. There had even been a wildfire south of Malta on Thanksgiving. Then the switch flipped. It got cold and started to snow. Since the first of the year there have only been a couple of...
I could probably talk about food about four hours a day. I definitely have my favorite local spots in town. When I call any where in town to order lunch or dinner, I have found that many who answer know my voice. I guess for a few restaurants in Malta, I have become a regular. Believe it or not it reminds me of my hometown in the suburbs of Chicago. It is no secret that the land of Chicago is a mecca for food, so it only makes sense that I tell you about one of my favorite spots, a place called...
