There were not enough to play Bingo this week. Because of the holiday, there was no Bridge this week as well. There were six of us here for the movie, “Nut Job”.

1 Years Ago Aug. 20, 1914 It is one great big cinch, that if the people of the eastern part of Carbon county keep on getting it handed to them in the campaigns (political) they can probably get the county cut in two. From all we have heard since Tuesday, there is apt to be something doing at the November election to a few pets. Funny thing how half of a county gets two or three officers, while the other half gets ten or twelve. The primary is over and little accomplished by the small vote, which could have been disposed of with less expense,...
Saratoga may be home to the rebirth of the atlatl and a world-wide competition. What is an atlatl you ask? An atlatl is a device used to throw a spear, commonly called a dart, much farther and more accurately than a human can unaided. An atlatl is usually constructed from a stick or slat with a hook on one end and a handle on the other. If it were explained by your high school physics teacher, they would describe it as creating an extra lever on your arm, thus increasing the force you can throw...
Editor’s note: This is the second in a series about the journey to write “The Legends of Old Baldy.” Carole Ward, a researcher for the “Legends of Old Baldy”, said she is not a writer, but when she was approached about the book, she felt it was important enough to pursue. Around 20 members at the Old Baldy Club showed an interest and Ward said she thought she could delegate some of the work. Her husband Bill was suffering from health issues, and they weren’t able to tackle a project like this a...

"We have a lot of hand-sewn quilts locally made. It should be an interesting show." Parker said... Full story
