To our pets, with their sensitive sense of hearing, we must sound like a battalion of Stormtroopers as we stomp through our houses. Be careful around really funny people. They’re funny because they’ve seen shit and developed a defense mechanism.. Being the only sober person among your friends, you can go from having the least fun to having the most fun in a matter of hours. Most people think things are generally getting worse and yet most people are optimistic about a better future. All light pollution can disappear in a fraction of a sec...

We each have a calling - sometimes it just isn't clear to us right off. We have to learn and we have to live, before we realize where we are meant to be. For Jacob and Brittany Trodick, their calling brought them to God and the church and, more recently, to Whitehall. The Trodicks, along with children, moved to Whitehall earlier this year, taking on the youth director position for ages 5-11 at the Whitehall Assembly of God Church, pastored by Bill Lanes. Jacob and Brittany, who knew (and...
You may have noticed the pamphlet rack beside the children’s computers and wondered what all those little booklets are. They are a series of information that helps parents of young children on how reading helps their children develop all through their growth from babies to preschoolers. Provided by the Montana State Library (thank you all so much!!) the Ready2Read Project lets parents, guardians, grandparents, childhood educators, and anyone else who works with young children, explore the advantages at each grade level of reading to children a...
DECEMBER 23, 1998 The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) continued to internally process possible permit violations and water quality violations against Golden Sunlight Mine, but fines would not be calculated or agreed upon until the end of January 1999. In the meantime, Golden Sunlight reported that its remediation efforts had successfully identified and contained contamination from an apparent leak at a tailings impoundment site within Golden Sunlight property. The Whitehall...
Tilden Yamamoto and his business have been flying under Whitehall's radar for a while now, but with his top-selling wreath with custom jeans selling to Split Diamond Ranch at the 25th Annual Whitehall Saddle Club Wreath Auction making front page news, his days of being inconspicuous are numbered. The custom clothing business is nothing new to Tilden, who has been designing classic silhouettes since 2000. "I started really early sewing, as a kid, just for fun and I ended up going to a state...

7 has been a wild year, and with it we’ve had some truly wild stories. We’ve learned the truth about Fireball, survived some TikTok trends, seen a woman saved by a dead rabbit, honored incredible lives and learned more about aliens. The news cycle feels more frenetic than ever, which can make it hard to remember everything that’s happened this year. Here’s a look back at the top stories that captured readers’ attention in 2023 from NPR.org and across the NPR Network. There’s no whiskey in bottles of Fireball Cinnamon, so customers a...
Looking back, 2023 was a year of wild swings. And two big strikes (if you’ll forgive the pun) — first the Writers Guild and then the Screen Actors Guild took the studios and streamers to task, forcing production to a halt. Yet whatever was going on behind the scenes, Hollywood had a grand-slam year, asserting its audacious cultural relevance with the historic double-header that was “Barbenheimer.” Variety’s two chief film critics agree that Christopher Nolan’s portrait of the man behind the Manhattan Project is one for the ages — a “Lawrence o...
Grilled cheese is a beloved comfort food that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Although there isn't much that needs to be added to cheese to make it delicious, the inclusion of tart strawberries and blackberries in this recipe titled The Sweet Sheep Grilled Cheese from The Reading Terminal Market¨ Cookbook (Camino Books) by Ann Hazan and Irina Smith pushes this sandwich over the edge of deliciousness. An additional cookie butter spread and chocolate chips make this grilled cheese much more de...

When you have a child, that first Christmas is magical...and so is the second, third, fourth, and so on. And then, suddenly, that little bundle of joy is a full-grown adult. This year marked the first Christmas of my son’s adulthood. He’s out on his own, having moved to Manhattan in mid-December, and is working at the Bozeman airport. Being the newbie at work, he had to work both Christmas Eve day and Christmas Day. I texted him mid-day Christmas Eve when he got off work, asking whether he thought he could make it over. for Christmas Eve tradit...
