The huge excavators, bulldozers and scrapers are now sitting alongside the construction site as Wickens Construction decides whether to close up the project for the year or hold off and wait for the sun to come out tomorrow. Time will tell. As of now, the wheels are sitting, covered with snow, as were vehicles across the town for...
Young members of the American Legion Auxiliary, the "Juniors", have been busy with projects this month. Since this month is "Agent Orange Awareness Month," much of their time and energies were directed to bring awareness to the public about Agent Orange. The group painted rocks of various sizes orange as the background and then added messages. Some were messages of hope, some were statistics, and some were ones that left the reader in thought. Perhaps you weren't affected by the toxic and...

Bob Kapp: "I think they should have a four-day school week; I have talked to people outside of Malta who have gone with it; it is an adjustment, I think it works out better." Sommer Waters: "I don't think they should do a four-day school week, because they would go longer; and there would be no Boys & Girls Club." Rose Alexander: "I don't like the thought of a four-day school week because it's so much harder to get on track for next week; you have to cram five days of work into four." Katy...

Bird hunting at its most basic level is a relatively simple endeavor. Dog flushes bird. Hunter shoots bird. Dog retrieves bird. When it all comes together it’s a beautiful thing to experience, a well-orchestrated bit of teamwork between man and animal. Seldom, however, does it all come off so simply. More often it’s a different scenario ending with dog flushes bird out of range. Or hunter misses easy shot. Or dog can’t believe hunter actually hit something and has no interest in finding dead...

The paper was moved to Malta because of “the increased amount of advertising offered by the businessmen of Malta”. According to some sources Mr. Grieg had also had some physical altercations with Harlem businessmen. On Jan. 1, 190...
