  • How is Your Enchanted Dwelling Coming Along?

    JAYNE DEAN, Whitehall Whimsical Wonders|Jun 12, 2024

    Fairies, elves, gnomes, pixies, or brownies are all unique in their lore and dwellings, which gives you an enormous amount of creative license to build a dwelling for your favorite fae (fairie). The dwelling can be made from anything! Get creative! Something from nature, or maybe a basket from your garage, perhaps some wonderfully old box you've been saving for just this occasion. Just imagine, create, and build. Your fairy dwelling can be brought to the park on June 22, 9 AM, where you will get a spot to display your fairy dwelling on the...

  • Thought Provokers: 6/12/2024

    Jun 12, 2024

    Humans are the most photographed species of animal. Eventually, there will be a game in which characters are powered by AI but believe they’re in the real world. The average dog owner will pick up over ten thousand turds during the life of the dog. Microwave companies and popcorn companies are in a strange disagreement about the popcorn button. The internet has given many of us an alter-ego that we wouldn’t display in real life. The initials of Seasonal Affective Disorder spell out how you feel when you have it. It’s funny how when you run t...

  • Connecting Point: Necessary U-Turns

    BILL LANES|Jun 12, 2024

    It was 1989, and I was in Helena, Montana, at a great restaurant, Frontier Pies. After enjoying dinner and of course, some pie I exited the parking lot with a friend in my 1979 Mustang. I turned right, shifting through the gears, and to my shock, about a block later, all I saw was oncoming traffic in both lanes! I immediately pulled a U-turn; this was necessary. Horns honking in the background and the dismay of other drivers caught my attention. Having never driven much in Helena, I was unaware of the one-way street. I most likely missed the...

  • RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Lasagne di Crespelle (Crepe Lasagna)

    Jun 12, 2024

    Lasagna is the perfect dish to feed a crowd. It can feature everything from cheeses to meats to vegetables; often, the leftovers taste even better than the meal on the first day. Lasagna is typically made with long pasta sheets, but Lasagne di Crespelle from Nick Stellino's Family Kitchen (G.P. Putnam's Sons) utilizes thin crépes as the pasta in this dish. A mix of meat and béchamel sauces creates a depth of flavor that can be a welcome surprise. INGREDIENTS For Lasagne di Crespelle (Serves six...

  • Just Ask Georgia: 6/12/2024

    GEORGIA|Jun 12, 2024

    Georgia, I have a question, You probably won’t think this is a real question, but unfortunately, it is. Are MATERNITY TESTS real? I gave birth to our daughter two weeks ago. I have red hair and blue eyes; my husband has blonde hair and blue eyes. Our daughter has grayish-brown eyes and a tuft of dark brown hair; her skin is a bit darker than ours. My parents have very dark brown hair and brown eyes, like the rest of my Sicilian/Greek family, but I got the genetic mutation for red hair. This is only relevant because my husband apparently does no...
