As you can see above, the north bleachers have been removed at the Walhalla Civic Center. This is part of a project for new ones to be installed sometime in early August. There were safety issues, for example - no hand rails to get up and down the old ones, along with several other issues that set things in motion for them to be replaced. Along with the new bleachers, a new scorers' table will be installed, and there will be chairs for the players rather than sitting on the bench.

Return of the Red Rider and the never ending search for a septic tank We come to you this week with some, as always, interesting information. We can confirm that the Red Rider has returned but is now the 3.0 edition, which is a 2025 Ford Lariat. It is beautifully red in color and follows a long line of vehicles with this hue. It all started with a 1995 Chevy Blazer, which went over 300,000 miles, and some thought at the time of its death, it should’ve been bronzed and made into a monument. Following that was a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer, which was on its way to 300,000 before it gave up to the ghost 10 miles north of Grafton. In between was the Dave Roy Memorial 2013 Gray Lariat, which was gotten out of necessity at the time and which is nearing the magic 300,000 number. I am keeping that. All of the aforementioned rigs were very good to me, which says a ton about the great work that is done at both D & B and Christie Motors. We are very fortunate to have both businesses in our area and in Langdon. Let’s hope the new Red Rider will be just as dependable, which I know it will be.
