From free coffee to free dinner, and from patriotic songs to the American Flag flying proudly around the county, Veterans of this great country were rightly celebrated. On Friday at Malta...

    Mark Hebert, Editor|Nov 16, 2016

    For the last 99 years, Malta’s Equity Co-op has welcomed customers through their busy doors and last Wednesday, to celebrate their 100th year in business, store employees welcomed over 300 more customers for a party and barbeque as a way of saying thank you to the community for helping with the store’s longevity. “It was phenomenal,” Equity Co-op manager Mark French said. “The weather was perfect, there was a huge turnout and it was a great day.” French said the turnout was so great...

  • No more tears

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|Nov 16, 2016

    I used to try to listen to the World Series on a little transistor radio during my annual hunting trip to the Missouri Breaks. Tucked into a down sleeping bag after a day spent stalking antelope and muleys, it wasn’t an easy task. I seldom managed to stay awake until the end of the game. I had dozed off during game 6 of the 1986 Series when Boston first baseman Bill Buckner missed a routine ground ball in the 10th inning that allowed the New York Mets to score the winning run and tie the...

  • Neither baffled or confused by election results

    Nov 16, 2016

    Dear editor, The election is over but talking about it may never be finished. The pollsters are trying to figure out what they missed. Often thinking about it, I am not baffled or confused at all. I submitted this quote from Hillary Clinton’s speech delivered on April 23, 2015, at the Women’s World Summit: “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will and deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” Hillary Clinton planned to use her position to force people to change their...

  • Calling all Collectors

    Mark Hebert, Editor|Nov 16, 2016

    Once a week I get to jump into the way-back machine and look at the news worthy to print from 100, 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago. I find it fascinating to see how printing techniques, pages dimensions and journalism has changed over the years and to see (unfortunately) how businesses, industry and population has dropped in this county over its 101 years history. Last week, while researching for the Memories feature for this week’s paper, I came across a series of wonderful stories written by Linda Link entitled Collector’s Corner in which...

  • Stop the keyboard politics!

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Nov 16, 2016

    I have bitten my tongue on politics this political season mostly because I don’t agree with the major parties running our country. Somewhere between all the posts of the lies and secrets of the Clinton administration and the racism, sexism and lies of the Trump administration, I was able to find an escape though barbeque. After such a sideshow of an election, I think America needs to chill out and there’s no better way to chill out than a barbeque. I was able to find solace in a couple of...

  • Fatman hoopers meet twice weekly

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Nov 16, 2016

    When you hear the name Fatman Basketball, one may think that every player on the court is overweight, slow moving and uncompetitive, however Fatman Basketball played at the Old Gym in Malta is the exact opposite. "It's just what we've always called it for the older, maybe out of shape and some in shape," Nathan Fried told the PCN. "We get some of those college students who are still in shape." This group of basketball players gets together every Wednesday at 7 p.m. and every Sunday at 5 p.m....
