Malta ambulance service will gain the assistance of three, if all sign up after their tests; two live out of town. In an interview last week, Abrahamson stated that four of the...

Ryan Eggensperger held the audience’s attention Friday, May 5, evening at the High School Auditorium as “Every Brilliant Thing” brought to light the story of his own journey dealing with suicide.

The theater life of Ryan and his co-worker, Rosie Seitzauers bring talent and a venue which is easy to blend into othe...

“The best sound around, KMMR,” and the only sounds locally on the air waves, KMMR is more than your average radio station. The station is the voice of Phillips County, stretching across the northeastern prairies and bouncing off gopher holes, fence posts, and an occasional large lava rock…wherever the wind and currents takes the waves. Many know the owner, Greg Kielb, and his lovely (and some say patient and resilient) wife, Claude, for their work at making the most out of a day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and occasionally longer. Many more know...
I’ve always been reluctant to jump on bandwagons. The latest this or that rarely appealed to me. Then I heard about No Mow May, a movement that encourages folks to let their lawns grow unfettered during the month of May in an effort to benefit bees and other pollinators. Without hesitation I clambered aboard that wagon and joined the band. In all honesty, however, it has little to do with my concern for bees, and a lot to do with my disdain for lawn mowing. I’d embrace any movement that get...

We’ve had a few days of gentle rains this week so the prairie is really greening up! Cindy and I took a drive to a secret spot that grows certain wildflowers and we were not disappointed! The hillsides had plenty of crocus and yellow bells. I’ve seen them as early as April 9, but this year the land was still under snow cover. I then drove a little further and saw some American avocets along with some ducks in a slough! It’s nice to see the water and shorebirds! Our community has been rocke...

What household appliance put women at considerable risk? They could both flatten and explode? In the early 1940’s, gas-powered irons replaced the ‘sad irons’. With the new technology a pump was used to build up pressure in the fuel tank and a match was lit underneath the iron, making a flame inside the iron. These irons carried a real risk of causing a fire or even exploding. In addition, some versions were made with a wooden handle that had the potential to burn the user’s hand or burn up entirely. By the 1970’s gas irons were replaced...
