"Once the paving is done on the main roadway, crews will start paving the approaches. There will also be general project clean-up and pavement...
With the vast open spaces and geographical diversity of Jefferson County, a search and rescue organization is a necessity. Knowing they could be needed at anytime in any weather condition, continual training is vital for members of the local Jefferson Valley Search and Rescue. Earlier this month, four members of the organization headed to the Indiana University Geological Station in Cardwell to take part in a 24-hour sanctioned Joel Hardin Professional Tracking Services class. Jefferson Valley...

I’m proud to say I’m a huge fan of the schools in Whitehall. I think the teachers, staff, administration and board work together in unison to create something special. I’m also very high on the district where I grew up in Wyoming and although it is much larger, they do an outstanding job. While very appreciative of everyone involved in making schools in this country great, I do however wish there would be more life skills available for students. Whitehall High School does a far better job than my alma mater, but I still think this is somet...
After a tough start to the 2018 season, the Whitehall/Harrison High School football team will look to bounce back when they host Missoula Loyola Friday night. The Trojans fell 34-0 last Saturday to Colstrip, a game that was added to the schedule late last week and took place at Rocky Mountain College in Billings. The Colts were originally scheduled to play Wolf Point, who cancelled the game. Colstrip officials contacted Whitehall head coach and athletic director Dan Lacey about the possibility...
It was a positive start to the season for the Whitehall High School volleyball team. The Lady Trojans finished second out of four teams at last Saturday's Manhattan Quad Tournament. First-year head coach Sage Hengst said she saw a lot of potential from the girls, as well as some great vollies. "I was really happy to see it come together finally," she said. Playing for the first time in 2018, Hengst said the team started out nervous, quiet, and playing it safe. "But by the end of the tourney...
Jefferson County Fair Board members are very pleased with last week's event. "It was a banner year for the number of people who attended the fair and rodeo on Saturday. We lucked out on the weather...the smoke cleared for Saturday and there was a nice cooling trend Sunday," said member Terry Minow. Among the highlights listed by Minow was the attendance and reaction to Fun Pianos, a Thursday night fundraiser for the carousel. "There was lots of audience participation...people are still talking...
A tough season opening course did not deter the Whitehall Cross Country team from some positive times at last week's Jefferson Invite in Boulder. Leading the way for the Trojans was junior Madison Loomis who finished the race in fifth place with a time of 23:38. Following the race, Whitehall head coach Kerry Sacry lauded the performance of Loomis on a course he said featured a tough hill at the start of the 3-mile race. Freshman Brynna Wolfe had a solid start to her high school career finishing...
The historic Boulder Hot Springs has invited local resident, Kathleen Davis, to exhibit her artwork from September 1 until late October. An open house reception will take place September 9 from noon to 2 p.m. in the dining hall and she would like to invite the public to come meet her and view her work. "I wish I could draw or paint," Kathleen said to her husband after attending an art exhibit in 2010. She had no classes or formal training so believed the she would not be able to produce...
