On Saturday, July 28, Bryan and Brianna invite the community down to Blue Ridge Brewing for their official...
Rock Solid Country doesn’t play gigs very often, but when they do they are generally at the Phillips County Fair and the boys, including a few local legends, will both open for this year’s headlining act Roots & Boots, as well as playing the street dance after the Friday night concert. “People can expect a lot of fun and a lot of dancing,” Malta’s Vince Mace said. “A few of us are wireless and we like to get off the stage and mingle in the crowd a little bit. Be prepared for a bunch of great live music and a great time.” Rock Solid Country...
A free, six-week course on handling grief will be taught at the Phillips County Nurses office in Malta starting this Wednesday, July 25, by Pastor Joe Haney in hopes of helping people deal with the loss of a loved one. “With so many elderly people in Phillips County and the demographics of the area changing, there is a higher percentage of elderly people losing spouses, or maybe losing a brother or a sister, that I think these classes are important,” Pastor Haney said. “Being able to deal with these complex feelings of grief and loss, some...

McCone Co. deer The case concerning the poaching of ten deer in McCone Co. last fall has been settled in McCone Co. Justice Court.

When I cased the shotgun on New Year’s Day the opening of hunting season was eight months away. It seemed like a very long time to wait. It always does. But this year especially, the wait seemed interminable. Winter lasted longer than usual, delaying the start of fishing season by a good month. I love to fish. It helps kill time until I can hunt again. This year, however, the winter was so bad, that the fish winter-killed in many of my favorite ponds. For a while, I turned to yard work and g...

I guess when you're told your whole life that domesticated animals are furry and cuddly, you get stuck believing that they should always have hair.

I don't think it worked because I had the hon...
