The Whitehall Christmas Stroll is known as an annual family friendly event. It also highlights the giving nature of the community with the annual Whitehall Saddle Club Wreath Auction. Now in it's 20th year, the event serves as not only a fundraiser for the Whitehall Food Pantry, but also raises thousands of dollars for numerous local non-profit organizations. The 2018 event will start with the silent auction from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Whitehall Community Center. The Live Auction will take...
In my line of work, I've established a routine that makes it a lot easier to get the job done. Any little change will throw me out of my comfort zone and last week was a perfect example of this. With the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, I had to change things up to get two weekly newspapers to the printer by Monday and it was a battle. I knew my best bet would be to write as much as humanly possible on the Wednesday and Thursday before, but things don't always go as planned. Instead I was faced with a long list of stories on Friday and was...
An informational meeting about the Southwest Montana Veterans' Home is set to take place Friday, November 30 at the Whitehall Community Center. The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. According to local Veteran Gary Redfern, the meeting will also focus on finding a committee member for a foundation focused on raising money for basic expenses for future residents of the 60-bed facility that will be located south of Butte. The foundation committee will include representatives from six counties. United States Senator Jon Tester announced in March...
When God said to give thanks in everything, the Thanksgiving Dinner at the school was a easy one! Between the students, teachers, staff and parents, the meal was prepared and served. Was it ever good! It's such a great time to visit with neighbors. Favors made to look like teacups, were made by the 5th and 6th graders. (see attached photo) Students were circulating among the guests, offering to bring drinks or other needs. I might add here, if you are over 60, live in Cardwell or have a connection, and didn't get an invitation, let someone at...
Under the direction of first-year head coach Kelly Nieskens, there were plenty of positives for the 2017-18 Whitehall High School girls basketball coach. With their 2018-19 season starting Saturday at home against Manhattan Christian, Nieskens is looking forward to year two at the helm. "The communication between the girls and I has improved greatly. We were able to start this year off at a faster pace," he said. "We have some ladies that want to win, a couple of new kids, and a whole different...
While his squad may be young as far as varsity experience, longtime Whitehall High School boys basketball coach Zach McLean has been impressed with the effort of his team in anticipation of Saturday's opener at home against Manhattan Christian. "I really like our attitude and our attention to detail early. These guys have really come to work every day to get better," McLean said. The lone returning starter for Whitehall is senior Cade Briggs, who McLean said will be very important to the 2018-19...
Hi Folks We didn't have a regular meeting last week. I hope everyone had a very great Thanksgiving. Carole and I were able to go help with the free dinner at the Stageline Pizza on Thanksgiving Day. Event Coordinator, Bruce Binkowski and his wife Christina were also there. Bruce helped promote the event and they had a great turnout. I think they served over 100 people. Bill Pullman also stopped by and spent a lot of time visiting with folks and getting pictures. It was a great way to spend Thanksgiving, although I did miss the leftovers the nex...
