Exactly one week before kids young, old, and past age prepare to go trick-or-treating this year, various local students will go door to door for a more meaningful reason. That reason is to help collect cans of food for the Malta Food Bank, a local charity that provides food and other items for Phillips County residents in need. "We have a trick-or-treat for the food bank and it's done by a few youth groups," said June Cornell of the Malta Food Bank. "The kids really get into it and they really...

It’s a big reason your mailbox is stuffed this election season with flyers arguing its pros and cons. The initiative’s backers see its passage as a “win-win.” Higher taxes for tobacco produ...

Spectators were lightly dressed compared to the cold windy state meet of the previous year where all manner of winter wear could be seen. No goosebumps...

Supporters of LR-129 claim their proposal will ensure that mail-in ballots are secure and that the state’s elections are free of potential fraud, but opponents argue the entire effort may cause unnecessary gridlock at the polls and distract from any actual security issue. The initiative would prohibit the collection of another individual’s ballot, although family members and caregivers could deliver another person’s ballot but would need to sign a registry at the polling place. People not authorized to deliver the ballot to a polling place...
