The joint was jumpin’ last Tuesday night, November 16, as Malta’s Auditorium was turned into Mr. E’s Jazz Club for a one-night-only show by the Malta High School Jazz Combo.

The show started with each of the nine-member group coming out one at a time, taking their spot and playing randomly, or “noodling”. The group wore Hawaiian shirts and black fedoras. Once all members were on stage, they w...

Apparently the mere sight of the hitchhiker had been enough to prompt folks to call to the cops. How times have changed. Hitchhiking didn’t used to draw that kind of attention. Not so many years ago it was an accepted mode of travel, and my favorite. There was something wonderful and freeing about it. You just couldn’t be in a...
1 years ago- Wednesday, November 23, 2011 City’s still working on water meter rate system The City of Malta’s move to using water meters for billing its customers likely won’t happen by the start of the new year. That was the initial goal, but Mayor Shyla Jones said Monday in an interview with the PCN that delays in the process of establishing the rates that will be used and the fact that it is going to be hard to hold work meetings in the midst of the holiday system, let alone a public hearing, will likely delay the process. At its first...
