    Mark Hebert, PCN Correspondent|Mar 29, 2017

    Of all the memorable moments at the 28th Annual Malta Walleyes Unlimited Banquet last Saturday night, one possibly stands higher than the rest — literally — as long time Walleye Secretary Joyce Wright was honored at the opening of the event. “She has been in the organization for a long, long time and has held many offices and you always knew where you stood with her,” Malta Walleyes Unlimited President John Demarais said. “She did a great job in those offices for all those years.” Everyone in at...

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Mar 29, 2017

    The two big questions on folk’s lips around town have been: 1. How did the Malta Chamber of Commerce get Malta High School Principal Scott King to allow donkeys on the basketball court and, 2. How did the Malta Chamber of Commerce get Malta High School Principal Scott King to agree to pick up donkey droppings at said event? “They seem to think that watching Scott King pick up donkey poop will be great entertainment for everybody,” Principal King said, speaking in third-person. “I don’t know if I agree, but I agreed to do it anyway.

  • My fare share of grizzly bears

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|Mar 29, 2017

    I recently read that the grizzly bears are out in Yellowstone National Park. There was a time when I would have made that discovery firsthand.

I used to spend a lot of time each spring in the park, much of it following elk trails in the snow. It wasn’t easy walking. Elk step in the same track in deep s...

But at least President Trump was considerate enough this past Saturday and not cost us (tax payers) 3.2 million to go to Mir-a-logo resort to play golf - instead to one of his resorts in Virginia. Oh by the way Secret Service just requested an add...

  • Yeah, I don't know the rules

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Mar 29, 2017

    Since moving to Malta, I have been intrigued with the wildlife around the area. I am relieved to say that I have not encountered any predators like wolves or bears yet living in the bustling metropolis that is Malta, but I have seen a few things that I haven’t encountered in the Chicago land Suburb I call my hometown. The first animal I saw here was the controversial Buffalo. Somewhere around Fort Peck, my then fiancée Susan and I were on a double date with her parents and we pulled up to an ar...
