Starting on March 12th, Girl Scouts around the world are celebrating Girl Scout Week and the 111th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scouts organization. For those who are unfamiliar with Girl Scouts, it's an organization that empowers girls to develop leadership skills, build character, and make a positive difference in their communities and the world. Girl Scouts was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, who believed that girls should have the same opportunities as boys to develop...
To the Residents of Whitehall, A big warm thank you. We are so fortunate to live in this area with so many thoughtful people. Where shall I start? During the Christmas holiday season, we had visiting carolers – 4H groups of youngsters and their families, choir groups from churches, and just a small group of women from town. So wonderful to hear (and some even brought along delicious holiday cookies and candies.) Then there were the lovely handmade Christmas and Valentine’s Day cards from the students of the Whitehall Elementary School. The Whi...
Dear Editor, Over the past week, more or less, I’ve been doing a bit of thinking on the subject of this generation’s reliance on technology and the detrimental effect it had. I originally wrote, “technology is killing us,” though I DID acknowledge later that it’s actually stress that’s the real killer! This is true enough, but when it comes down to it, we really must admit, we’re doing it to ourselves! Over the past century or so, technology has made great leaps most seemingly, or purportedly, for the better. In fact, many of the leaps made we...
Dear Editor, With sadness in our hearts after 15 years, the AS&C of Jefferson County will no longer be able to provide the bi-annual low-cost spay and neuter clinics to Jefferson County residents. The traveling Vet services are currently unable to travel for one-day clinics. We still feel this is a much-needed program, so our temporary solution is the AS&C of Jefferson County Spay & Neuter Program will provide discount coupons for County residents to be redeemed at Western Veterinary Service or Jefferson Veterinary Services. Rest assured, the...
The number of people older than you never increase. History is the longest-running game of Telephone. Paying for life coaches who end up scamming you must be the most ironic life lesson ever. Of the four fundamental forces, gravity is responsible for the most human deaths. The only difference between a collector and a hoarder is a theme. People living in optimal climates accomplish more in conversation because they don’t need to talk about the weather. Light is both invisible and visible. Most ice cubes aren’t cubes. Professional chefs are act...
MARCH, Part I Like March 2023, in March 1897 the U. S. Congress was in session and discussing controversial issues. Two hot issues were the boundaries of the Alaska territory with Canada and a bill to prohibit the transmission of detailed accounts of prize fights by mail or telegraph. Federal officials were being accused of practicing deceit when it comes to a bill for opening the south half of the Colville Indian reservation to mineral resource development. In Montana, the Gallatin valley...
March 11, 1998 The criminal assault charges against James Piazzola stemming from a January 3, 1998 incident at the Mint Bar in Whitehall have been dismissed. State District Judge Frank Davis ruled on March 5 that felony assault charges against Piazzola originally dismissed on January 16 would remain dismissed and can never be refiled. The 1998-99 Whitehall school budget, adult education, computer technology, and the old school demolition were among the topics discussed by the Whitehall Board of Trustees during the board’s regular monthly m...
Q: Can I turn on my coffee pot with my computer or smartphone? A: Yes! Welcome to the Internet of Things (IoT)! Many devices are being made “Internet Enabled.” Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and even coffee makers now have computers in them that can connect to the internet. These smart devices are connected to apps on your phone, or through a website, you can log onto with your computer. These apps and websites are created by the appliance manufacturer and give you many options to monitor and...
The Whitehall Garden Club meeting was everything 'green' including the beautifully laden table created and designed by Laura Horn and Glenna Waltee. Delicious "Pots Of Gold" egg bites, fresh green grapes, green veggies, green lime juice, and two types of traditional Irish soda bread were enjoyed by all. With the luck of the Irish, scrumptious Blarney Stones were also served, but we believe 'tis the wee leprechauns that took off with them to be hidden in the shamrocks....because they disappeared...

Five Montana Tech seniors have spent much of the past year working through a senior design project where they test whether or not waste mine tailings from the Yankee Doodle Tailings Pond could be used in a growing environmentally friendly industry. "Green" concrete reduces the amount of cement needed by substituting other materials. In 2022 it was estimated that 7-8% of global carbon dioxide emissions originated from the production of cement. In the students' experiment, they created concrete...

The 40 days (excluding Sundays) that comprise the Lenten season traditionally require abstaining from meats and other rich foods on key days during this sacred time on the Christian calendar. The faithful move to more humble foods as they choose to be reverent and focus on Jesus's sacrifices. Simple meals of vegetables and fish tend to be staples in Christian households this time of year. When seafood is not the typical first choice for families, it could be challenging to come up with new ways...

Georgia, I have a question, How often does Judge Judy hand out death sentences on her show? I’ve watched every episode, I think, and I’ve never seen her deal with more than debts, who is the father questions, and mundane things like that. Where are the serious cases? Wanting More Dear More, Well, darling, you see...well, there’s a lot it seems you need to see. While Judge Judith Susan Sheindlin was formerly a prosecutor and Manhattan family court judge, she is now a court-show arbitrator. Her judgments are legally binding, but the proce...
Debate among Christians can be healthy and useful. Of course, staying within the fundamental structure of core Christian doctrine is essential, including the deity of Jesus Christ, the fall of mankind, salvation through repentance and grace, and biblical authority. In addition, I recognize flexibility with practices and teachings that do not compromise core truths: views regarding the return of Christ, methods of water baptism, and physical healing, to list a few. The Letter to Hebrews is not only a rich study of Old Testament law and practice...

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, the weather may not be suitable for getting much done outdoors, but you can certainly stay busy inside the house with any projects you have been putting off. CANCER Jun...
