Monday morning. You’ll notice I didn’t say “Good” first. That’s because the wind is extremely strong and what snow we got Saturday night is finding its way through the air. At least I think that’s where the snow is coming from. It doesn’t look new. We had a wonderful turnout for our “breakfast-for-lunch” Saturday. Breakfast was served to 45 including home deliveries. And the French toast casserole was super delicious. The coffee kids continue to keep the coffee pot brewing each morning. Those enjoying their coffee and conver...
Compiled by Joe Elder 100 years ago Dec. 19, 1912 The Big Game of the West After many years of strife to preserve the big game in this state we are slowly drifting toward the utter extinction of the same. It may be well to drag the preservation out as far as possible, to prolong the hunting. But what is the use of all the talk about closing the season on this or that or feeding the elks. We have long been a supporter of the protection to game, but we have now reached a point where we have drawn new conclusions. Civilization...

An idea that was tossed around at a Saratoga Recreation Commission earlier this year saw success Nov. 29. “Ladies Night Out” attracted 55 paying customers, Lisa Burton, Saratoga recreation director, said. Burton had 17 vendors sign up for the event and the comment she heard the most was shoppers did not realize how many direct sales people were in the area. One vendor came from Elk Mountain and another from Craig, the rest were locals. “It was a chance for exposure at Ladie...

A little snow and it is wonderful. I’m just waiting for us to get dumped on, and that will be fine, too, as long as the wind doesn’t blow!

The dedicated dominoers also kept things humming, but that would be every afternoon. Due to a fall recently, Julia Priquet has been conspicuously missing from the group. We miss you, Julia. Those managing wi...

The Saratoga Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce raised a gross of $8,785 at this year’s Festival of Trees. After expenses, the money will be divided to help Saratoga’s High School’s Close Up group and Encampment’s ProStart with traveling expenses. “Raising $8,000 or $9,000 is a good year,” chamber director Stacy Crimmins said.

Peg McAlister, Platte Valley Food Pantry volunteer, was flabbergasted when Susan Speer, with the Carbon County Board of Realtors, presented her with a $500 check Friday. “Am I reading that right?” McAlister asked Speer. The donation from the realtors will make Christmas better for people who may otherwise not have had a merry Christmas. McAlister is expecting a shipment of hams, ordered through Valley Foods, to come in for Christmas. The food pantry also orders from Food Ban...
The most challenging, and rewarding, part of Abbey Jones job is dealing with people from different cultures and from different countries, but her small-school experience at H.E.M. left her well prepared. “The biggest part of it was being in a small school and involved in so many extra curricular activities,” Jones said. “FFA, student council, sports ... I don’t think if I had been able to be part of so many clubs, I would be able to have the skills to interact with so many di...
