Though the fall weather has descended upon Phillips County, at least one mosquito lingers in Malta and it is larger than life. A tour through Malta's M-Trail has left some recent travelers scratching their heads (and thankfully not anywhere else on their bodies due to insect bites) as a huge mosquito sculpture now calls a portion of the path 'home.' Made entirely of recycled items, the M-Trail's newest resident is the brainchild of Saco artist Michael Wiederrich, proprietor of Larb Creek LTD,...

Saco's 5th annual Scavenger Hunt, open to children in grades six through 12, will be held the first week of November and teamwork will be of the highest essence for the winning teams.

Creepy crawlers, ghoulie ghosts, witches and pumpkins. Yes, its Halloween in Phillips County. The PC Museum has its own spooky tale to tell. In 1924 the Miller Blacksmith shop burned completely down under mysterious circumstances. Fast forward to 1926 and a group of children playing in the ruins left at the blacksmith location. Suddenly the games came to a complete halt when a skull was found. Examination of the skull by physicians reveal that it is a white man or woman. And in a surprising turn of events, the bones are not old but new. Much...

The final score of Malta vs. Huntley Project first round playoff, a game in Malta last Saturday afternoon, 30-6, doesn't really tell the tale of how close this gridiron match really was. Timely touchdowns in the contest by the visiting Red Devils made the score seem more lopsided than the final outcome would make it seem and as anyone in attendance will attest to, the Mustangs played with grit, passion, and dedication to one another and to their coaches. The timely touchdowns by Huntly Project...

"I felt like I was going to throw up," Strommen said. When asked at which point she thought she'd get sick during the play - before, during, or after - Strommen said "all three." Strommen's save led to a kill by teammate Kia Wasson to stave off what would have...
