Ohio is the only state in the USA that doesn’t share a letter with the word “mackerel”. You never see old people laying/sleeping on their stomach. The correct phrase is “you can’t eat your cake and have it, too” not the other way around. You can, in fact, have your cake and then proceed to eat it, whereas you cannot possess some cake after already having devoured it. The way society views butterflies vs moths is an example of how pretty privilege works. Less than 750K humans have ever been to Antarctica. 500K of those were in the last 15 yea...
As Montanans, we care for each other. Across the rural-urban divide, generational divide, and Brawl of the Wild divide. Of all our constituents across Montana, the most deserving are our elderly neighbors who are on Medicaid benefits. They have served Montana well, and at this final stage in their lives seek the promise of compassionate, medically appropriate care. Most of them are out of money, have used up their care options with family members and loved ones, and cannot afford in-home care, which can cost more than $20,000 a month and is...
On September 13th this group of ladies from the Whitehall Garden Club and their friends toured the Bumblewood Thicket in Bozeman, sponsored by the group Random Acts of Silliness. It was a lot of fun and these ladies made the day of the volunteer working at the site and the little kids who walked through the thicket. The Random Acts of Silliness group sponsored "The Joy and Whimsy Photo Contest" for pictures taken at the site. LaVonne Stucky submitted the picture Judy Chadwick took (at left) of...

Georgia, I have a question, I’m so lost! Isn’t NFL just for the U.S.?! How does New England have a team?????? New England isn’t part of the United States! I just had this same argument with someone who told me Georgia is a country, not just a state. Idiots! New England is England Dear New England, Oh, sweet summer child. New England is the northeast corner of the USA, made up of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont - NONE of which are in England. The New England Patriots are based in the greater Bosto...
Whitehall wrestlers traveled to Anaconda on December 19th for a pre-Christmas dual. When the dust settled Whitehall had fallen to Anaconda 42-30. The large crowd was treated to 20 individual matches. The evening started with the varsity matches, and because of injury and illness, several of the younger wrestlers were able to get varsity experience. At 103, eighth-grader Gunner South lost to Wyant; at 113 eighth-grader Tucker Witzel overpowered Pesanti with a second-period pin. Junior Isaac...

Fear as a subject, I have come to comprehend, has graduating degrees. But, the Christmas season has had a positive effect on my mood: Reading through God’s word I am encouraged by both gospels Matthew and Luke: Have no fear. Acknowledging our fears is a step towards discovering the very peace of Christ. Working out this column I looked at fear from the eyes of three individuals, Mary, Joseph, and King Herod. “In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin…The angel went to...
December 24, 1997 It was a remarkable year for Whitehall sculptors Bruce and Kathy Contway. Bruce, one-quarter Sioux, was recently named the Indian Arts and Crafts Association (IACA) Artist of the Year, and Kathy was awarded the chuckwagon race outriders bronze. Bruce and Kathy lived with their five horses west of Whitehall on a modest 10-acre ranch that includes a foundry. They converted an old garage into the foundry - the only one in Jefferson County. Bruce and Kathy have sold art all around the world. A federal judge ruled that the...
Americans have been wrestling with inflationary pressures all year. As the New Year approaches, millions of individuals and families have set resolutions to save more money. “Looking to boost your savings is a worthy goal. But to make it work, you have to take small steps that add up to big change over time,” said Amy Maliga, financial educator with Take Charge America, a nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “By exploring a few small changes in your day-to-day life, you can curb spending and put more money in your savings thr...
As the final holiday rush arrives, the American Red Cross asks donors to shake up their holiday plans and give blood now and throughout the end of the year. According to AAA, nearly 113 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2, meaning many who may have otherwise given blood will likely defer their donation until the new year. Unfortunately, trauma patients in the emergency room, those undergoing cancer treatment and new parents in need of lifesaving transfusions can’t take a holiday break. T...
In a Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Commission meeting held on December 20, the Commission chose not to reinstate the full 5-week general rifle season in HD 313. “Today’s inaction to increase public access and elk hunting near Gardiner means the public land hunter loses another season of extended opportunity in HD 313,” said Mac Minard, Executive Director, Montana Outfitters, and Guides. “Not only will this prime public land be unavailable to hunters, but adjacent districts will continue to be overcrowded. Reinstatement of the normal...
There's a new initiative in Wyoming that's changing the face of wildlife conservation funding, and it's already seen huge success in its first year. It's based on the state's startling mountains, rivers filled with fish and forests where bears and wolves roam - everything that makes Wyoming unrivaled. That wildlife is managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and 85% of the cost is funded by hunters and anglers. This happens largely through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses, as...
Hot chocolate does a fine job of warming people up on cold winter days. This rich and creamy beverage is enjoyed many ways, with some people floating miniature marshmallows on top or adding a touch of liqueur for an adult treat. Of course, hot chocolate is equally delicious topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. What if you could replicate the taste of hot chocolate in a cookie? That's just what happens with this recipe for Hot Chocolate Cookies courtesy of creator Rachel Perry...
Joseph and Mary Smith never planned to settle down in the wild, wild west, much less raise a family there. However, as life is what happens between our plans, Joseph's new job required him to travel to Pueblo, Colorado from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where their oldest son had been born. Joseph had labored for years in the steel mills of Northern Pennsylvania, but had recently been called out to expand his vision West of the Mississippi, to work in the administration of the fairly new workings in P...
