A series of...

Malta Mayor Shyla Jones reported that the Public Works team flushed the sewer on the previous Wednesday.

The Malta School Board last Wednesday approved the purchase of a new score board for the Middle School and also approved a three-year contract extension to Malta School’s Superintendent Kris Kuehn.

The federal game warden who patrols the national wildlife refuge where I hunt told me last year that 96 percent of the hunters there are doing something illegal. I thought at the time that was an outrageous assumption coming from a law enforcement officer. Earlier this week he wrote my friend -- I’ll call him Da’Quan --a $125 ticket for being in possession of toxic shot. Da’Quan had a low-base trap shell in the pocket of his hunting vest when checked by the warden. It obviously wasn’t a pheasant...
I have been an Oakland Raiders fan for as long as I have been watching the NFL. Back in the early 70’s, my father was stationed at Mare Island Navel Base in Vallejo, California, a 35-minute drive from the Oakland Coliseum, home of Charlie Finley’s Athletics and Al Davis’ Raiders. My father was around 18-years-old at the time, a fresh-faced sailor from Butte, Montana, making his first stop in a military career that would end up spanning over 30 years. I’m not sure if my father was a Raiders’ fan before moving to Northern Cali, but he quickly b...

1 years ago December 17, 1914 Malta Locals: The Scarlet Fever scare that was prevalent the first of the week has died out considerably and no new cases have developed.

Dr. Cockrell was up the latter part of last week and closed the schools and public places for a short time. The schools have been thoroughly fumigated. The picture...
