Stopping traffic is what utility workers did when they reached the Pipestone Creek Bridge just east of Whitehall. The job foreman said they are installing 17 miles of fiber optic line from the U.S. West building in Whitehall to the Cardwell area. Easements for in town still needed to be worked out, the foreman said. He said the work would probably take until late July or early August.

Two Whitehall area residents earned places on the Montana Tech spring honor roll. William Haddenham and Heidi Hill were listed in a recent press release from the college as having earned at least a 3.25 GPA for the spring semester. Johnny Dyson and Reid Noyes each earned at least a 3.5 GPA at the Helena College of Technology of the University of Montana to place on the spring dean’s list.

Whitehall resident Wayne Momsen was recently recognized as Montana’s Postmaster of the Year for his work as the Butte postmaster. Momsen was selected based on community and civic activities and service, contributions and participation with the U.S. Postal Service and to the National League of Postmasters.
