Jefferson County gets serious about winning "war on weeds": Nearly 40 Jefferson County ranchers participated in two meetings on Jan. 6, and if everything goes according to plan, they will receive grants to pay for a 50 percent cost share on chemicals and application to fight weeds for the next three years.
The Whitehall public library was burglarized on the night of January 6; a computer system, copier, security camera, and a small amount of cash were reported stolen. The estimated worth of the stolen items was close to $10,000.
