Dear editor, Traveling down highway 191, 6.5 miles past the DY junction you can see the large dirt spoil piles on the right-hand side of the road. On the left-hand side is a utility box.

The actual recreation site is undoubtedly the largest construction project in Phillips County, having reshaped the area with thousands of cubic yards of dirt moved in the name of preservation. The Environmental...
Dear editor, Please, out of respect for our deceased family members, please keep your dogs on a leash, or better yet, no dogs should be allowed in the cemetery at all! Your dogs are pooping on someone’s family grave. How disrespectful! Disgusting! I was saying my final goodbyes to my dad and I was walking by my moms grave, I just happened to step in dog poop! I was livid, because who else stepped in it? A few days later, I went to visit my dad. As I entered the cemetery, I saw this dog running all over, then it squatted and took a poop on s...
I had such high hopes. Following the same routine I always use when applying for special tags, I clicked “send” and settled in for the wait, visions of big bucks and bulls dancing through my head. It’s been a while since I shot a bull elk, in part because bull tags are a precious commodity in this part of the state, and partly due to a of lack of effort. (As in: I could hunt somewhere else but I’m too lazy.) So I applied for the area closest to home where bull tags are rare as hen’s teeth, and f...

An exciting part of Museum work is never knowing what is going to come through the door to be donated. Sometimes is large, sometimes It’s small, sometimes it smells like mothballs, and sometimes it’s in tatters. But among the questionable items sometimes a real “gem” arrives. This week we received a large number of old Whitewater School Newspapers. Does the name Sally Ivanovitch sound familiar? She is named in the honor roll as a junior. A student had a great editorial and I thought I would share it. Here is the young man’s opinion: “Well, he...
