Some things have changed and some remain the same at Malta's Villa Theatre, but anyone who has spent time in the theatre will quickly notice way more changes than things that have stayed the same at the Villa when it reopens for business on November 8. "We have kept a few things, but not many," said new Villa Manager Christine Riggs. "There is still the 'Have a Nice Day" small strip of carpet where some of the concessions are stored, the vintage "no smoking" signs, and the old fire hose is still...

Let me just go on record right now, this changing time kicks my butt! I did remember to change my clocks, but my brain takes more time to change. Many cattle trucks have been traveling on the highways this week as the ranchers wean the calves and send them on their way to “college” or to work! Cindy Clark was an international traveler this week. She and her daughter Becca Engum of Great Falls spent a few days in Calgary. Cindy reported that they found several ethnic eating establishments to try...
Turned very cold and of course the wind blew making it seem colder all week. Daylight savings time ended Sunday, clocks were set back one hour.

There were not many out to trick or treat this year but many of the young ones were in costume which was nice to see. It is nice to have the road past the school down 2nd street to town open...

The government of Trinidad and Tobago recently banned the importation and use of crossbows in that Caribbean nation. It’s a pre-emptive measure. Although there haven’t been any murders or assaults involving crossbows in T&T, officials there aren’t taking any chances. “If criminals knew the effectiveness (of crossbows) – and thank God they didn’t – then things may have been worse,” said police Sgt. David Swanson. Stupid criminals. They must not hunt. Until the ban, crossbows were a popular weapo...
Sickness has been going around our county for a few weeks and the same remains true for our household. Poor Lincoln had an ear infection and this led to me having to stay home one day with him. I thought that perhaps I could park my young son in front of the television for about an hour while I cleaned up the kitchen. I turned on the television and much to my great disdain, I noticed a black screen with an occasional flicker of a picture. Though I had not experienced a led bulb going out in a...
