Malta Public Works Director Jim Truelove told the Malta City Council last Tuesday that there has been an abundance of metal, tree limbs and other items placed in residential garbage cans instead of being taken to the dump, and Malta Mayor John Demarais said the act needs to stop. “We have been having problems with metal in the garbage cans; tree limbs in the garbage cans, and we can’t have our drivers digging through cans for 20 minutes, I'm not going to ask them to do that.” Director Truel...
When Noah Harms and John Kinney took the stage at the KMMR Talent Show last Friday night in Malta, it was the first time the duo had played in front of an audience other than friends and family.

"We have only been playing together for a couple of months," Harms said during the intermission at the Friday night show. "So, we were a little...

1 years ago June 28, 1918 Sheriff R. L. Cobb had been arrested by Coroner R. V. Tucker for an alleged assault upon Ben Burnap, a sheepherder. The cause of the alleged assault was Burnap's purchase of a T-Bone steak for his dog. This, in the face of meatless days and food rationing in general, was too much for Sheriff Crabb, especially when he stood and watched the dog being given the steak. Crabb appeared before a Justice of the Peace and was placed under a $2,000 bond. *** The remaining men...

Another woman was injured in early May when she was butted by a bison. It’s nothing new. Run-ins with bison have become so common that visi...

Typically if I find a toy, I give it to PJ, but upon finding an item at a garage sale last weekend, I knew this toy was for me. At first I thought it was a type of night...
