Now, a large portion of the city owned parcel of land there has been closed to public use due to liability issues and allegedly poor behavior by some riders. That leaves only the 40-acre recreation area one mile north of the city, owned by the Bureau of...

Budding entrepreneur Oakleigh Trott chose one of the hottest weeks of the summer to set up shop in front of her house. Selling $0.50 lemonade one cup at a time, she amassed quite the business "Ya, I've had to buy more supplies a whole bunch of times" says Oakleigh, age 7. Oakleigh decided that instead of spending her money on toys or something special for herself, she would donate all her earnings to the Valley County Community Pool Fundraiser. "When I thought about what to do with the money, I...

For those swimmers who were unable to race in their events on Sunday, their preliminary times from Saturday were...

The $33,389 granted this year is the largest annual amount given since the first grants in 2000. That figure brought the total amount of grants given to $224,412. “These grants mean a lot to efforts in Valley County,” said Doris Leader who chairs the board of directors. “Many projects are completed, enhanced, or totally funded with VCCF dollars.” VCCF awards grants to projects or programs that are for c...
"If you see something, say something." The saying has nearly become an American mantra. Here in the middle of nowhere the saying ought to be modified to, "If you see something, do something," because the people of Valley County "do."

A group of dedicated citizens have come together to form The Valley County Friends of the Pool,...
