Few people have roots as deep in the Whitehall area as Dr. Gayle Sacry. Since 1877, nearly as long as there have been settlers in the area, Sacry’s have called the valley home. But when the Frontier Days planning committee chose a grand marshal for this year’s parade to pair with the theme “Back to Our Roots,” it wasn’t just a long family history that made them choose Dr. Sacry and his wife, Kathryn. It was the couple’s decades of dedication and service to building a stronger, better Whitehall that made them excellent honorees. Dr. Sacry’s sto...

The Whitehall-based Gold Junction Presents Team was given just 48 hours to create an original short film incorporating a required...
