If you read the archives this week, you'll see the article that was in the paper 25 years ago on Scott and Gina Simanton purchasing the liquor store.

As for the Liquor Haven, it is in its third building since they bought it. "The building it was in when we bought it didn't exactly work for what we had planned. So we moved it on the day we bought it...
Where were you when the Twin Towers fell 20 years ago? What were you doing right then? What were your thoughts?

Little did we know right then that a third plane was zeroing in on our great Pentagon. Almost 3000 lives were lost, thousands of others were affected by the loss of those lives. Terror filled our streets and skies making everyone unsettled. Malta VFW Post 4067 invites the public to participate in their event of R...

The temps this last week have been pretty warm, but I do enjoy a warm day with a cool evening! I flew Cape Air to Billings and back this week. The ride was very smooth and uneventful, and I’d recommend it if you need to go to Billings. While in Billings I had a Dermatology appointment and my sister Debbie honored me with a birthday party! I’m on another trip around the sun! Congratulations to Amus, Everette, and Etta Blunt on the birth of their sister, Dorothy Lynn! Pete and Carol Lumsden are...
There are places I’ll go this fall that I never see any other time of year ‑- small, intimate spots hidden from view, hard to reach, with little reason to be there unless you’re hunting or gathering cows. Some are places I’ve killed a bird or two. Others are places I always water the dogs, where the steep banks along the creek have sloughed off providing easy access to the slow-moving flow. There are a couple of ancient automobiles, abandoned on the prairie decades ago, that I always visit i...

I've got four girls out for cross country this season; Shelbi Labrie, Ava Hanley, Kendra Cummings, and Sammie Wisher. Three of these girls are veterans with Shelbi being our newest addition. We've had three solid weeks of practice and attended the Poplar Invitational this previous weekend. We went into the meet with the mindset of slowing ourselves down in order to balance out our split times. One of the hardest things to do as a runner is to be disciplined enough to SLOW down in order to cut...
