With the store officially changing hands to a Thriftway Super Stops this week, Mulligan has mixed emotions about selling, but also knows he is leaving at the right time. Growing up, Mulligan was able to learn about small business first-hand with his parents owning an insurance and real estate agency. He also felt they stayed too long and became...

Over the past few weeks, I've heard numerous reports of campaign signs and flags being vandalized and unfortunately, this is something that seems to happen all the time. In the paper a few weeks ago, there was a story about a local resident who helped to replace a sign that had been vandalized and while this was a feel-good story, she really shouldn't have ever been placed in that situation. Now perhaps more than ever before, politics has divided the residents of the United States and the political bickering can become downright nasty. The...

It looks like the Whitehall/Harrison High School football team will get a non-conference game --- well sort of. After having their first three games of the season canceled due to an order from the Jefferson County Health Department barring non-conference games for the Trojans and Jefferson High School, the two county teams have decided to schedule an exhibition game for September 4 at 7 p.m. According to Whitehall Head Coach Dan Lacey, the two teams will meet in a game that will not count in conference standings. The rivals will also meet...
