But Malta will also mark a place where his progress has come to a halt due to an injury occurred during his ride.

As the old saying goes, “you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict the weather.” For the last two years, rain hasn’t been an issue for those that host the First State Bank Car Show in Malta, and according to the weather man this year, precipitation shouldn’t be a problem, but rain or shine, the 14th Annual event will be held this Saturday as one of many events to be held this weekend in our fair city. “It has rained in the past and we just keep going,” said First State Bank Secretary and Treasurer, and Car Show planner, Terry Skones....
The early 1990's are a time in Michael Gunner's life that he could've lived without. In 1991, Nirvana's Teen Spirit hit the airwaves signaling the beginning of a new music genre, Grunge, and usher edanother one out, Hair Metal. "That was the death of our era and I hated it," he said last week. "We won't be covering any Nirvana songs in Malta, not even close." Gunner, who plays lead guitar, is one-fifth of the Montana based Heavy Metal tribute band Metal Steel, who will be rocking like it was 198...
It’s funny the things I take for granted after living in Phillips County for a few years. I took a trip to Denver for a publishers meeting last month and though I had a good time, I don’t miss big city living. The theme from Green Acres dances through my head as I type this column. Eddie Albert’s “the choirs” and “fresh air” resonate a lot more than Eva Gabor’s “the store” and “Time Square” for me at this point in my life than they did in my 20’s (and if you are too young to remember this song, get onto Youtube and do something worthwhile.). B...
Widow woman Johnson, who wasn’t overly bright, lived with her brood of urchins in one of the rental houses on my father’s Mississippi Delta farm. When completing her oldest son’s birth certificate, she either didn’t know how to spell the name she’d chosen, or left off the last letter, and dubbed him Lyndo. Even less mentally gifted than his dam, Lyndo was an ideal target for trickery, a trait capitalized upon by the tricksters in our secret society, the Mohicans. The Mohicans decided that all girls, including our sisters, were beneath o...
I wasn’t going to do it. I really wasn’t going to. But I need to vent. I have lived about a dozen years of my life without cable or satellite television. The last four years I’ve lived here, my wife and I have only had broadcast TV. The five or six channels that we do get have been good to us but we’ve decided it is time for a change. So we bit the bullet and have pursued the various companies for a more enhanced television experience, which will bring us the glorious channels of ESPN, NFL Net...

Get well to Tracia LaBrie, who is in Seattle, Wash. Sympathy to them as well as their car was broken into and were stolen while she was in the hospital. How can people be so mean? Helen DePuydt called me and said her daughter, Teresa (a former Whitewater graduate) is an artist who illustrated a children’s book about llamas. Maybe I will ask her to illustrate my book. Wisher’s have gone to South Carolina, so there will not be church in Whitewater or Baptist Church in Malta for the next few weeks. Then there will be VBS, camp, etc… Dates to run i...

1 years ago June 1, 1916 Notice The question of the boxing contest proposition has come up to us, The Malta Enterprise and the Malta Call publishers, in a way that we deem it unwise to make any comment whatsoever on the grounds that it is asking us to draw the line on a topic upon which our constituents, namely the residents of Malta, have proven themselves to be divided upon. We have been asked to publish articles on both sides which if space were bought and paid for, we would be obliged to...
