  • Alice Ruth Grubaugh Lyons Gaston

    Apr 22, 2020

    In loving memory of Alice Ruth Grubaugh Lyons Gaston. Born to Charles and Edna Grubaugh of Park City, Montana on January 5th, 1924; she was the last of the eleven Grubaugh children to go home to the Lord on April 8th, 2020. Throughout her lifetime, Alice enjoyed many things; hiking, fishing and hunting.

She married her first husband Forest Fielding Lyons, and...

    Jack H. Smith, Whitehall Ledger|Apr 22, 2020

    I was sitting at the drive-in window at the A&W/KFC in Whitehall last when a memory I had blocked out for good reason resurfaced and I really wish it wouldn't have. As I sat waiting for my Papa Burger, I was reminded of my first job interview and it instantly made me want to roll the window and spew.

I was a 15-year-old sophomore in high school and was encouraged to get a job for the summer so near the end of the school...

The spring 2020 is cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic...

  • Whitehall Chiropractic is Reopening Wednesday, April 22

    Apr 22, 2020

    By Dr. Kathy Meyer Whitehall Chiropractic has been closed for the past several weeks for a number of reasons. First, it was closed when the stay at home order was issued. At that time I was unsure how to stay open and still keep my patients, Jen and I healthy during this pandemic. Then my daughter came home from college out of state resulting in a voluntary quarantine of my entire family to make sure Covid 19 was not brought into my home. I am happy to say we are healthy. Thanks to Barrick Golden Sunlight Mine, they helped me obtain masks...
