Celebration of life
Last Saturday, a sad but heartwarming celebration of the life of Michele Hinds of the Mountainview BBQ was held outdoors at the Hinds home. There were many, many local people attending, as Michele and Jeff have run the barbecue since 1994 and have known the local residents for all those years. We are saddened by Michele's passing and wish the very best to Jeff and their daughters, Melanie and Amanda.

Coleville football

Trout in the river
Our local chamber of commerce has been making sure that there are fish in the river to be caught, with regular plants. You really should get out there and try your luck. My husband, Mike, has caught some very nice ones, and there are plenty more out there.
