Nearly 200 Malta Elementary students hopped on school busses and headed east of town for a field trip to the Hinman Angus Ranch last Wednesday to participate in Ag Education Day where they travelled to six different stations to learn about farming and ranching. The program at Hinman Angus Ranch started in 2009 when Dave and Yvonne Hinman decided they wanted to do something nice for children that would double as a learning opportunity. "I think the children are getting something out of it each...
Mosquito spraying coming to an end, branches around town to be cut down and a disagreement about races held in the city were a few of the items discussed at last week’s Malta City Council Meeting. Malta Mayor Shyla Jones said that the mosquito spray truck will soon start spraying every other day – barring a big rain – and as the buggers start to disappear the truck will make the rounds once every three days. Mayor Jones added that once the weather gets below freezing the spraying will most likely stop all together. City Councilwoman Bonnie Wied...
The Malta community has been blessed with many folks who volunteer countless hours helping where needed. These are the people who quietly take the time to coach Little League, sack groceries at the food bank, organize a Girl Scout troop, play bingo at our rest home, or trim the rose bushes at the Robinson House. Jim and Mary Brady, who will soon move to Oak Harbor, Washington, certainly be-long to this fine group of people. Jim and Mary came to Malta about twenty-five years ago. Mary began at...

I’ve been going into some kind of hunting camp every fall since I was a kid. Dad and cousin Carlton used to hunt rabbits and quail at a relative’s farm in Illinois for a few days each November. I started tagging along before I was old enough to carry a gun. We’d stay in a tiny, unheated trailer behind the barn, cooking all of our meals there except Sunday dinner, which we always ate at the farmhouse. It was an old place and it sat in a fertile creek bottom bordered by hardwoods. The count...
One of America's most respected environmental nonprofits has traded in one kind of green for another. Some of the Sierra Club's board members and most important donors have put the almighty dollar before Mother Earth by encouraging the organization to engage in activities that bolster their bottom line. In a new report, the Energy & Environment Legal Institute reveal that many environmental activists benefit richly from their donations to the Sierra Club. Nathaniel Simons, a hedge fund baron worth an estimated $12 billion, has donated more...
Being from a big town, where students are required to do a lot less in terms of extra-curricular activi-ties, I have noticed that small schools around here take things like homecoming week a little serious. I have to say that I am definitely impressed with the class participation from the high schools to the elementary schools. I was randomly selected to help lead the GO! FIGHT! WIN! – GO BIG BLUE! cheer at the 2015 Home-coming Assembly. I was confused by Principal King’s selection at first bec...
