Talking to anyone on the internet is like walking on eggshells. In times of crisis, one would think that something like the game of baseball potentially coming back soon, would bring us together. Not the case. I heard about the possibility of baseball coming back last week and I was happy about it. I can’t watch as much baseball or sometimes any baseball because it takes away from family time, but I still enjoy watching White Sox games when I can. The 2020 Major League Baseball season has been p...

This week is Florence Nightingale’s' birthday and it's also National Hospital Week. Our hospitals bring us not only healing but also hope.

The parents decided to meet the train at Saco and one of them would travel with the children to the Glasgow Hospital in hopes o...
A week ago, I got to watch the City of Malta Public Works Crew use a jackhammer to break-up concrete inside the bathhouse at the Municipal Pool. It seems like the work there is coming along pretty well. Another thing I got to do was watch the workers take old materials out of the pool, including rotten wood, chunks of concrete, and other materials as they continue to work towards getting the pool open for the 2020 season. The plumbers will be putting in new plumbing including new sinks and...
