The building has been completely restored and upgraded to meet current standards. The structure also served as a school for a short time and possibly other had uses over its 143 year life span.

Fr. Glenn: To Be Like God

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

I had a text the other day describing a rather bittersweet moment for any parent: the young daughter wanted to ski without her parents nearby or in sight, she beginning to exhibit that budding streak of independence and self-identity. It’s good to have the young stretching out on their own, and yet stings that their son or daughter will soon no longer be their little boy or girl as they mature into adulthood over several years. And the worries increase: will she sure turn out for the best? Will she follow the good as her independence grows? Will she find a path to happiness? A parent Read More

This phrase was first sited in 1862 and I know Read More

Go Climb a Tree!

Most of us recently celebrated a new year, the Gregorian new year, which falls on Jan. 1. But many other new years are familiar.

That holiday occurs in September/October (the Jewish calendar moves around relative to the Gregorian calendar) and is often observed by attendance at synagogue Read More

Home Country: Jenkins Lost Cabin

By SLIM RANDLES

We all know someone will find Jenkins’ cabin. Someday. Oh, it’s up there in those hills somewhere. We all know that.

It’s become a friendly object of conjecture and speculation. No one living has seen it, as far as we know. Jenkins himself died quietly when he was on one of his infrequent trips to town for supplies. Funny guy, that Jenkins.

He worked in the city for years, mostly as a night watchman in a factory that made diapers. Didn’t really enjoy people much, and told us many times how nice it was to just be in the huge factory when it was quiet. Then one day he decided to move Read More
