This has been such a week of giving to the Whitehall Community Library! It started out with Roger Steerman and Jarrin Cheuvront framing the outside space for our new bench. Then 4 Rivers Concrete Products donated the concrete and delivered it last Friday. We had quite the work crew as they smoothed the surface in preparation for the bench and set up protective fencing for it to dry. This week the bench is scheduled to be secured to the concrete and ready to enjoy. Thank you so much to everyone...

Even though making sandwiches usually does not involve any cooking, that doesn’t mean layering flavors and selecting quality meats and cheeses involves any less intuition and skill. One of the most popular styles of sandwiches goes by many names, and what you call the sandwich may let others know which part of the country you call home. Each May, people pay homage to the “hoagie,” which is the name that people from Philadelphia and southern New Jersey bestow on a long, cold-cut sandwich. But the...

Instant gratification. It’s the path that most people choose, often without even batting an eye. But most of the time, that choice is the direct enemy of the true path to success and fulfillment: self-discipline. Self-discipline is doing what you know you have to do whether you feel like it or not. It means being aware and in control of your appetite, emotions and inclinations to help you achieve something that may be so far down the line it’s out of sight. It takes self-discipline to… • Start and run a successful business • Move to an unfami...
When I first took over the Whitehall Ledger I thought long and hard on how you could bring creative writing into the newspaper world. There are so many talented writers who live among us, I wanted to provide an outlet to them as well. Well, I think I have found the solution. The Jefferson Valley Museum has dozens and dozens of photographs from centuries long past. These photos have been researched, but no one has been successful in identifying the people in them or the scene they depict. Why not take these photos and write what we think is...
It was a load crash. Only a few people had heard it at the time because, well, there were not a lot of people around. Old Jimmy Hennson and his two sons rushed out of their little farmhouse across the tracks. Mrs. Van Oswald, the widow, came out of her small cabin near the tree grove with her four boys. And there was us: my father, my mother, my five siblings, and me. Penelope Grange. We had the field on the other side of old Jimmy Hennson and between us now was a small crash of wood metal and...
This year has been one like no other. It has been exhausting. There have been long work hours filled with stressful experiences. It has been difficult to maintain healthy habits. Getting enough rest has been especially challenging. Last week I took some much-needed time away from work. I had planned to stay home, go nowhere, see no one and knock out some long overdue projects. This is how the introverted side of me rejuvenates. Plans change and mine did. My mother wanted to visit her sister in...

Most of us remember a time or two when our behavior was haughty and arrogant. Today’s meditation takes aim at the condition of being proud that usually causes such behavior. Again, I’m focusing on Jesus’s parable contrasting the Pharisee and the Tax Collector praying in the temple. “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves...
Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) Director Adam Meier announced the agency is seeking public comment on its federal application to expand mental health and substance use treatment services through the Healing and Ending Addiction through Recovery and Treatment (HEART) Initiative.

Now, DPHHS must begin the federally-required process of submitting a Medicaid Section 1115 waiver application...
