The Town of Saco has given notice that it will hold a special election on Tuesday, September 20 in hopes of approving additional mills to raise $20,000 to permanently fund mosquito control.

The special election will be conducted by mail ballot only and ballots will be sent to eligible, registered voters on September 1. Saco Mayor Clint Simpson said that each year it costs the Town...
On a busy day in the winter, approximately 1,000 people come through the doors at Westside Self Service. In the summer, that number sometimes triples.

I’ve fished since I was a child, but I didn’t get hooked until I started using a fly rod. I was probably 12 or 13 when Dad showed me how to cast tiny foam-rubber spiders for bluegill. It wasn’t long before I got the hang of it, and could put that spider where I want-ed. I’d twitch it a time of two, then raise the rod tip when the bug was engulfed by a rising fish, and feel the line go taut. It wasn’t the way most folks fished in Indiana, but it gave me a leg up when I moved to Montana....
Dear Editor, Driving around the west side of town have noticed several water "spots" where new water pipes have been placed and are leaking? Some of these "spots" have been there for some time. Why have they NOT been repaired? Also why is a new street torn up before leaks are repaired? Currently why is the water being placed in the street on the East street of Malta High School starting now when school is about to start? Hopefully someone from the company doing the job will contact me and let me know why this project has so many pipes leaking....

I don’t know how the start of football season could be so exhilarating and heart-breaking at the same time. It’s the life of a Bears fan I suppose. The only end zone my team sniffed was either when our defensive backs got torched for a touchdown pass or when our quarterback was sacked for a safety. It was bad. While the preseason isn’t a complete measuring stick of a football team, it was depressing seeing every other team playing last Thursday score touchdowns and field goals, while the Bears f...
