During Director Truelove’s report at last week’s Malta City Council meeting, he said the old motor burned out just in time for the holidays and added that he doesn’t believe the bailer in use by MOI a...

Apologies for the inappropriately placed opinion column and the disarray that is our new office, two doors down from the last spot, grand opening pending. It is my opinion that things get done in Malta if you know who to ask…it is most likely a fact. It has been a few weeks since we announced we would be moving into the new digs, but a few snafus thwarted the progress. The furnace in the new office was the first snag. The thermostat in the office, sans working furnace, read 40-degrees though it was nearly 60 outside. Danny Paul at Farmers and R...
