There’s no better feeling than the anticipation felt when you have proof someone is lying and you’re just patiently waiting for them to finish telling their lie. A bus ten minutes early is worse than a bus ten minutes late. Computers can freeze as a result of overheating. People get Botox to look younger but they usually just look like they got Botox. Every day that someone you love wakes up is a great day. If carrots actually helped your vision as much as we were told as kids, they would probably be sold exclusively by pharma companies. Kurt C...
Dear Editor, This letter is pertaining to all who are wanting me to run for County Commissioner and to the citizens of Jefferson County. After hearing that Dan Hagerty filed for the position, I had the chance to sit down with Dan one on one and discuss what his plans were and where his vision is for the Southern end of the district. We both agreed that the simple fact is this: this end of Jefferson County has been forgotten about for years. After a lengthy conversation with Dan, I realized that Dan and I are on the same page as to what needs...
Lauren Demby has lived in Montana for less than three years, but upon entering her art studio and store, Montana's influence is everywhere. From her nature photography of landscapes and wildlife to her gemstone enhanced jewelry, and shelves lined with rock formations, with probably 10 other art forms in between, here in Montana Lauren has found her physical and spiritual home. Lauren's nature photography began while she lived in Florida, where she'd visit different places and be inspired by...
Estate planning isn’t always on our mind but many lawyers suggest that one should prepare for the inevitable. Families certainly experience shock after the death of a loved one, additional stress occurs when estate planning is absent. Some families are torn apart as possessions are divided while other families suffer extended grief navigating the long nightmare of legal matters. Is all this the legacy we long for? King Solomon casts light on his legacy, however, from a somewhat negative viewpoint. “So I hated life because the work that is don...

FEBRUARY Part II In February 1896, New York City was experiencing "the coldest recorded here since the establishment of the Weather Bureau." The East Coast was reporting temperatures as low as -48.

The following news items are taken as written from the...

Greetings Trojan community! Here we are in the middle of February already. I suppose that the lack of winter weather has made the time fly by a little faster, but it is hard to believe that we are nearly midway through the third quarter! In the past four weeks, we have completed our second of three district-wide assessments. You have heard your students refer to the MAP tests. The results of the winter MAP tests indicate that Whitehall Elementary had an average growth in the Median Score of nine points in Math, nine points in Reading, and four...

In February we gather to present the programs, events, and budget to the whole club and what a "NEW YEAR" is planned! We started right away with our February 9th meeting. Karen Ranta and Janet Finney "put on the Ritz" brunch with delicious ham and cheese sliders, creamy yogurt parfaits, fresh-baked banana bread, and "melt in your mouth" sugar cookies (heart-shaped of course...it's February,...
Dear Jo, I have a 7-year old daughter, Bea. We live two houses over from her best friend, Stacey. The two girls go to school together and stay over at each other’s houses. Stacy’s parents recently got a pet fox. I wasn’t worried at first, but now I’m not so sure. The fox isn’t violent or anything, but almost every time she comes back from their house, Bea tells some hilarious, giggling story about how the fox stole food, or the TV remote, or something else, and ran around the house holding it in his mouth or trying to bury it somewhere. Last ev...

Sweet yet savory ground meat served on a bun is a comfort food classic that has been a staple for restaurants and home cooks for decades. Sloppy Joes are beloved sandwiches that feature meat paired with a lip-smacking, tomato-based sauce. Some attribute the original Sloppy Joe to a cafe in Sioux City, Iowa, where in 1930 a cook named Joe added tomato sauce to his loose meat sandwich. Others say the sandwich evolved from sandwiches that were introduced by Floyd Angell, the founder of the Maid Rig...
Game wardens with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are seeking information on several waterfowl that were killed and abandoned near Butte.

Fisheries staff at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are seeking comments on a proposal to construct a fish barrier on Reservoir Creek near Dillon. This project would help protect a genetically pure population of westslope cutthroat trout from non-native trout. Reservoir creek is one of eight streams within the Beaverhead watershed that still supports an unaltered westslope cutthroat trout population. However, the population is only seasonally protected from non-native trout downstream. This proposal includes constructing a wooden barrier that wou...
