    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Nov 6, 2019

    Some things have changed and some remain the same at Malta's Villa Theatre, but anyone who has spent time in the theatre will quickly notice way more changes than things that have stayed the same at the Villa when it reopens for business on November 8.

"There is still the 'Have a Nice Day" small strip of carpet where some of the concessions are stored, the vintage "no smoking" signs, and the old fire hose is still...

    Let me just go on record right now, this changing time kicks my butt! I did remember to change my clocks, but my brain takes more time to change.

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Nov 6, 2019

    The government of Trinidad and Tobago recently banned the importation and use of crossbows in that Caribbean nation. It’s a pre-emptive measure. Although there haven’t been any murders or assaults involving crossbows in T&T, officials there aren’t taking any chances. “If criminals knew the effectiveness (of crossbows) – and thank God they didn’t – then things may have been worse,” said police Sgt. David Swanson. Stupid criminals. They must not hunt. Until the ban, crossbows were a popular weapo...

    Sickness has been going around our county for a few weeks and the same remains true for our household. Poor Lincoln had an ear infection and this led to me having to stay home one day with him. I thought that perhaps I could park my young son in front of the television for about an hour while I cleaned up the kitchen. I turned on the television and much to my great disdain, I noticed a black screen with an occasional flicker of a picture. Though I had not experienced a led bulb going out in a...
