The past few days of below zero temperatures reminded me of growing up in what is known as the "high desert" of Wyoming. It is full of wide-open spaces and plenty of outdoor opportunities and also has some cold temperatures during the winter months. Even more so than the temperatures, I grew up with biting winds that could make even a fair day feel awful. Over the past week I have seen multiple news reports of the crippling cold front that hit the Midwest with the force of a Mike Tyson punch and felt awful for everyone who had to deal with...
Whitehall has lost a winning smile and an amazing personality with the passing of Betty (Fellows) Piazzola on January 31, 2019. Betty was greeted in heaven by her loved ones, husband Harold and son Kent. Betty was born on June 25, 1934 to Tom and Margaret (Capp) Fellows.

After graduation Betty trained to be a stewardess. Unfortunately she only worked for the...

The second verse was far different then the first for the Whitehall High School boy's basketball team. After losing on the road 46-32 to Townsend on January 11, the Trojans were the far superior team in the rematch picking up a 56-31 home win Tuesday night. "They came out focused and ready to go.

Whitehall (7-7, 5-5 5B District) would come out of the gates quickly...
