  • Woolen Hemp Mill, Hi-Line Kitchen Host EMS/EMT fundraiser and BBQ

    Krista Fahlgren, PCN Editor|Oct 7, 2020

    It was a beautiful day for a BBQ on Saturday when Malta’s newest business, Woolen Hemp Mill, and Hi-Line Kitchen, and many other local businesses teamed up to raise over $2,500 for Malta’s Emergency Medical Services and Technicians.

It’s been four years since Thayne lost his left hand while working at his wool mill, and just last month their son Oren suffered serious injuries while competing in a rodeo. “That’s just first and the l...

    When The Villa opened its doors on October 2nd, they did it knowing that they could keep them open for the entire month thanks to some generous local businesses. "We had just been throwing around the idea of asking businesses to sponsor tickets like the pool did this summer when Katie Brown called and said the RCAN wanted to sponsor 15 tickets and challenge other non-profits and businesses to do the same. From there, it just spread like wildfire, the next thing we knew, each showing in October...

  • Letters to the Editor for Wednesday, October 7, 2020

    Oct 7, 2020

    Dear Editor. If you get a chance, you should tour the County dump station that's south of Saco. This is about the most wanton disregard of the regulations that the county would like to have observed at these dump sites. Like different sites, we have a burn pit for people to deposit wood products, tree limbs and yard cleanup sacks into for burning. I was out there just this morning, 9-30-2020, and I see, mattresses, Metal water tanks,not little ones, but giant size plus many blocks of cement and lots of barbed wire. Do people really think that...

  • What about this hunting season

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Oct 7, 2020

    I wonder what this hunting season will bring. The weather and number of critters, however, aren’t foremost in my mind. The number of hunters is. If the summer months are any indication, there will be crowds. When things shut down last March and we were told to shelter in place I expected the outdoor industry would take a big hit. Instead it appears that just the opposite happened. Folks flocked to the outdoors. Trailheads were packed, boat ramps crowded, and campgrounds full. I had been w...
