In October, the Jefferson Valley Community Foundation generously granted a $4,000 gift to the Jefferson Valley Museum. Archival safe flat file cabinets were purchased with the money. While it has taken this long for them to arrive, the delivery was an exciting day. Ron Hunt and Jerry Fleege rounded up a crew. After the delivery truck unloaded them at the Jardine Memorial Building, the packing had to be removed, the drawers removed and then several men carried each section out to the dolly that...
This has been a quiet week. According to the Daily Bread reading for the first day of Spring, Jesus said to his disciples in Mark 6:31, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Sounds pretty nice to me, especially if it means a drive up the South Boulder. Kathy Clark, Aileen Shaw and Erv Hedegaard were guests with the Whitehall Pinochle Club. Host, Michael Clark gave prizes to Florence Weyer for High; Gladys Ballard for Second - she also had 1,000 aces; Low went to Joyce Held and Pinochle to Mary Gustin. Randy and Lau...

As residents made their way into the Whitehall Community Center last Sunday, they were doing so not only to try a plethora of cuisines from around the world, they were more importantly giving back to a variety of nonprofit organizations. Within minutes of opening the doors for the Whitehall Rotary’s third annual International Dinner, club member Ed Handl said they already had a great turnout, and he had high hopes 200 would attend the event. Some of the dishes at the 2017 dinner included a L...
Crossing the Jefferson River on Highway 359 to the left is what I like to call ‘the hundred acre woods’. Winnie the Pooh isn’t around, but the trees scarred from a fire a few years ago, make the area captivating with imagination. With Spring approaching some of the trees will be turning green and the foliage on the floor of woods will come to life. The herons will build their nests in the tops of the trees that are suitable. The adventuresome child inside of me would like to investigate the woods and find a special hiding place. March Madne...

Recently, a picture of the 1930 Cardwell High School football team was posted for sale on e-bay. Naturally, that intrigued me, so with the help of Roy Millegan’s compiling of information from years and years of newspapers, I located some fascinating stories. Football was first played at Cardwell according to what I found, in1929, but no records of the games, etc. There didn’t seem to be a name for the High School team. Scores were crazy. One was Cardwell 115 to 0 over Twin Bridiges! Whitehall often beat Cardwell, and Cardwell won a few. I wou...

Last Saturday, Whitehall resident Mike Hagan traveled to Dillon to attend a world premier screening of the "The Big Muddy Western Film Series". Hagan was not only one of the many in the standing room only crowd, he was also able to watch himself on the big screen at Big Sky Cinemas, for what he called a minor speaking role.
