Many people return from a Las Vegas trip with nothing more than the shirt on their back, but when Swede and Lois Goodheart returned from a trip to Nevada the couple brought back an item that would start a wonderful collection that would spill into the next 40 years and across their basement. "It was the early 70's and I guess I was looking for a Christmas present for Swede, so I saw those, but I only got one," Lois recalls, pointing to six, 14-inch leprechauns full of Kentucky bourbon ... at...
It was at the end of July, during the Dog Days of Summer, last year when the topic of Malta’s lone homeless person, very new to the area, became a popular topic on a Facebook page dedicated to things to complain about. But instead of complaining about this new visitor, people wondered what her story was and how she could be helped. Enter Jerry Lytle, Deputy Sheriff at the Phillips County Sheriff’s Office. Lytle was one of the 200 people to see the post about the woman and he decided to put his investigation skills to work. About a month lat...
I keep looking over my shoulder. It’s not because someone may be gaining on me, although I do fear getting caught. It’s because I can’t believe I’m out here in such magnificent country all by myself. Hunting. Surely I must be trespassing or the season is closed. After all, this is public land, open to everyone. So where are they? Am I the only guy who does this anymore? Have all the other hunters quit, lost interest, died? I keep expecting an official looking vehicle to come barreling out my way...

We were celebrating “New Year’s Day” on Sunday and after that, wish people a “Happy New Year.” The day before was “New Year’s Eve” but never, ever ever ever, is it “Happy New Years.” Sorry for that rant. I know I am no grammar expert, but January 1, 2017...
