ArtSpot’s Grand Opening is slated for Thursday, October 11, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Bohn’s Bones Art Gallery and Kathy Bagley, head of the program, is asking people to take the night and treat it with childlike curiosity. “I often have people tell me ‘I’m not artistic’,” said Bagley. “You don’t have to be artistic to come and have fun and enjoy yourself. Children never hesitate if you put paint and a paintbrush in front of them; they don’t worry about being artistic, they just want to create and have fun. I am asking all the adul...

The carnage continues. I don’t want to belabor the point, but this infestation of mosquitoes is life-altering. Or at least hunt-altering. I have to leave the house well before dawn to get in any hunting at all. In the cool of the morning, following the dogs across the prairie is tolerable, even pleasant at times. Once the sun clears the horizon, however, I quickly turn back toward the truck accompanied by a growing swarm of bloodsuckers. There’s no escape. On the drive back to town, I roll dow...
On Tuesday night, I attended the Malta City Council meeting at City Hall in hopes of bringing you, ladies and gentlemen – and David Rummell – the most up-to-date news about this city as I possibly can.

One of the topics up for discussion at last week’s Malta City Council Meeting was to talk about the water project for the city and the direction it would take.

October 1, 2014 100 years ago Headline: New Building Needed The people of Malta will have the opportunity on October 10 of deciding whether their children are to receive the best educational advantages possible, or whether they are to be denied them.

The local building is not fireproof, is practically unventilatable (sic) and is very poorly lighted and heated. Woman as well as men can v...
