The Malta School Board Meeting that was held on Wednesday, October 13, was standing room only with many visitors that night.

Today I finished my 10-day quarantine! I was pretty excited because I knew I was going to be ok and I’d go to church and do all sorts of things around the house and yard! Just a minute there, I’m still easily fatigued. I made it to church, but I was very low on energy! I have been nowhere and I’m so thankful for thoughtful neighbors to bring me supplies from Malta. They left it on the deck so we didn’t get too close. Yesterday was Observe the Moon Night. It was so clear that it was perfect...

I hadn’t hunted antelope in quite a few years and I missed it. I missed stalking them on the open prairie. I missed eating them. I even missed crawling through cactus to get within range. So when the antelope tag arrived in the mail last August I was elated. I decided then to take the time off from hunting birds until I filled that tag. Unfortunately, antelope season and pheasant season open on the same day, and given a choice, I’ll always go with the birds. After four days chasing roosters, how...
