DAM!?
If you thought the debate over the school nickname was a source of community conflict, another contentious situation has the people of White Cloud decidedly divided.
The dam. The century old barrier is facing an uncertain future given the structural issues and repair costs involved. Those on the side of restoring the structure cite the tradition of the mill pond (aka Lake White Cloud) that has been a swimming and fishing site for many generations. On the flip side removal would likely improve water quality in the White as well as assisting with fish habitat and migration... NBFF Once Again Hits the Streets

Over the years HTRJ has witnessed new generations enter their doors or rather re-entered since many grew up paying visits to the cafe with their parents. The highly valued venue passed the torch in 2020 when Linda’s daughter Tracey Murrell took over. In an article we ran about the change Tracy stated “It will be the same vibe, the same feel with homemade organic offerings. Real food in a friendly atmosphere”
And Chef Tracy has delivered on keeping the vibe while using the skills acquired in Culinary School to expand and enhance the offerings at the Croton eatery, now in its 25th year. But nothing worthwhile ever seems to come easy... “A Great Professional Development Experience”

A native version (Lathyrus vestitus) grows in the West, especially California. Its flowers are purple instead of pink. Seeds can also be ordered online.
A member of the legume family, this plant has pea-like seeds. An annual, Sweet Pea readily self propagates. Once established the roots are nitrogen fixing, improving your soil. Sweet pea prefers temperatures below 80. Or if it is over 80 degrees, it likes some shade. It also thrives on moisture so if you don’t have a nearby creek, watering may be required. Sweet Pea attracts... Community Foundation Awards More than $2 Million in Grants
