  • Blue Ridge Brewing to hold grand opening in Malta this Saturday

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Jul 25, 2018

    It's been a long time coming, but the barrels of suds have been brewed, the kegs have been tapped and the popcorn will be popping this Saturday as Bryan and Brianna Shores' dream has become a reality. "It seems like it has taken forever, and it has been so much work for us, our family and our friends, but we officially open for business Saturday and we couldn't be happier," Bryan said. On Saturday, July 28, Bryan and Brianna invite the community down to Blue Ridge Brewing for their official...

Be prepared for a bunch of great live music and a great time.” Rock Solid Country...

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Jul 25, 2018

    A free, six-week course on handling grief will be taught at the Phillips County Nurses office in Malta starting this Wednesday, July 25, by Pastor Joe Haney in hopes of helping people deal with the loss of a loved one. “With so many elderly people in Phillips County and the demographics of the area changing, there is a higher percentage of elderly people losing spouses, or maybe losing a brother or a sister, that I think these classes are important,” Pastor Haney said. “Being able to deal with these complex feelings of grief and loss, some...

  • It's been a long wait

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors columnist|Jul 25, 2018

    When I cased the shotgun on New Year’s Day the opening of hunting season was eight months away. It seemed like a very long time to wait. It always does. But this year especially, the wait seemed interminable. Winter lasted longer than usual, delaying the start of fishing season by a good month. I love to fish. It helps kill time until I can hunt again. This year, however, the winter was so bad, that the fish winter-killed in many of my favorite ponds. For a while, I turned to yard work and g...

  • Is that a real word?

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Jul 25, 2018

    People often hate or fear what they don't understand. Something that freaks me out is a hairless pet. I guess when you're told your whole life that domesticated animals are furry and cuddly, you get stuck believing that they should always have hair. Trying to prove that I am not “specieist” (racist against hairless pets), I have tried watching videos of hairless cats and even subscribed to a social media page in which they send out videos often. I don't think it worked because I had the hon...
