Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus was detected in wild birds and domestic poultry in Montana earlier this year. While HPAI cases in wild birds did appear to decline over the summer, there are detections of new cases in parts of the U.S., including Montana this fall. HPAI viruses are extremely infectious and fatal to poultry and some species of wild birds. Some scientists have been concerned that the U.S. would see a resurgence of the virus during the fall migration. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is monitoring the situation by...
Fortunately, not everyone knows the pain of child loss. Unfortunately, I know that pain. My fiancé Marcus and I held our daughter, Maesyn Conley Cahoon, for her last breaths, on her 115th day of life, but only about 10 days after her due date. From her birth at 25 weeks gestational age, Maesyn's life was a miracle, with one exception: she had Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome. It was a parting gift from my unexpected and severe pregnancy complications, which became life-threatening two weeks...
Espresso is a concentrated coffee brew that is stronger, thicker and higher in caffeine than a typical coffee. However, since espresso is served in very small cups, it tends to have less caffeine per serving than other coffee beverages. The word espresso comes from the Italian verb esprimere, which means to express. Espresso is made by forcing hot water through tightly packed coffee grounds, resulting in a strong, concentrated coffee. While many argue that espresso should only be enjoyed black...
Jakob Schmidt was born on August 5th in the small township of Eitzen, Minnesota. The year was 1871. Jakob's parents, German immigrants, were some of the first settlers of this area of southern Minnesota. 1871 was, of course, a pivotal year for that noble savage, the American Indian. As such, the Schmidts, who were farmers by trade, raised their first and only son in the fields of Eitzen. However, when Jakob came of age, where he could make his own decisions, our young farmer boy chose to become...

As the owner of the Whitehall Ledger, each week I have to make decisions on what is published. As a member of the media, I strive to be non-biased in my reporting and to never show my own personal opinions unless in my editorial. Several times I’ve been questioned about why I chose to print an opinion piece that was divisive or leaned one way or another. I’ve been called a “raging liberal” as well as a “right-wing conservative.” One extreme to the other, it seems. Why do I choose to print articles such as that on page 11? Do I agree with...
