When football season kicks off each year at the end of summer, the games garner the bulk of fans' attention. While the exciting action on the gridiron is a cause for celebration among millions of football fans, the food enjoyed during game day also provides much to look forward to. Certain foods have become part and parcel of watching a particular sport. For example, who can attend a baseball game and resist the temptation to indulge in a hot dog? For football fans, chicken wings are the go-to...
9/08/1999 Another Whitehall business was burglarized over the Labor Day weekend - making three downtown business burglaries in just over a month - although police officials say the third burglary appears unrelated to the first two. The Mint Bar was burglarized sometime after the bar closed Sunday, Sept. 5, and before 9:30 AM on Monday, and Whitehall police and the bar manager both say the job looked like the work of experienced burglars. Two other businesses - Janlyn's Styling Salon and the Two...
Whitehall Medical Clinic is launching a wellness and weight management program—an excellent opportunity to lose weight through healthy means. While the clinic continues to offer wellness exams, bloodwork, EKGs, and x-rays when appropriate, it now has several options to help patients manage their weight and feel better about their health. The most recent addition to their services is a group of medicines in the family of GLP-1 (glucose like peptid) agonist. These medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone our bodies make naturally. While this family o...
As summer is closing, the Whitehall Garden Club keeps blooming with another tremendously delicious, hilarious, and informative meeting. Janet Chapman, Janet Finney, and Kay Fisher created the most delicious breakfast imaginable! Blueberry scones were "melt in your mouth" tender, zucchini bread was full of deliciousness, a French toast bake was so yummy, and a sausage egg/bread bake made you return for more! The freshly sliced cantaloupe was the perfect addition to this scrumptious brunch. Thank...
We all love technology when it works and want to melt it down into toasters when it doesn’t! After what seems like forever, though it has not really been that long, the Whitehall Community Library is getting a new copier, fax machine, and scanner all rolled into one! You will probably hear the library staff cheering all over town when it arrives; until then, we can scan, fax, or make copies at the library, but only in small quantities. If you have art-oriented children, this week's Art Camp p...

Biologist Diane K. Boyd has had a front-row seat to 40 years of wolf recovery in the West, but her new memoir reveals that entanglements with humans in Montana were often tougher than dealing with the four-legged predators. There's a proud literary canon of women telling their stories of studying wildlife in remote places-Mardy Murie in Alaska, Jane Goodall in Tanzania, Dian Fossey in Rwanda. Now, Boyd's memoir, A Woman Among Wolves-My Journey Through Forty Years of Wolf Recovery, runs in that...
Montana’s two-day, youth-only deer hunt is coming up Oct. 17 and 18, and general deer season opens Oct. 26.

The word "curry" is used to describe a variety of things. First it is a mix of spices that often combines coriander seeds, turmeric, cumin, chili peppers, fenugreek, clove, mustard, and even nutmeg or ginger. This produces a warm and robust spicy taste that can flavor various foods. Curry also is used to describe a specific dish. Curry is a recipe made with a sauce or gravy seasoned with spices (like those in a curry mix) and is traditionally associated with south Asian cuisine. Curry also is a...
Montana Shakespeare in the Parks is in the midst of their 52nd season and will visit Whitehall to present Hamlet on September 8th at 5 PM at the Main Street Green, next to Whitehall's historic Star Theatre. The Star Theatre will be used as a backup location for the production if needed due to inclement weather.

On Saturday, August 24, 2024, the Whitehall Saddle Club (WSC) removed the majority of the Whitehall Recreation Complex’s arena, with the understanding that certain properties were theirs, the remainder the Town of Whitehall’s. This comes after over two years of argument between the WSC, the Town, and the Whitehall Recreation Complex Board. Many residents said they were unaware of the disagreement occurring; many were shocked by the removal of the property, and many more had questions. Why? WHY and HOW did it come to this? This is part two of a...
Early September 1898 in the Jefferson Valley. Children are back in school, and crops are being harvested. Life here seemed pretty good considering news being printed in the Zephyr. A severe wind and hailstorm north of Webster City, Iowa, left $50,000 worth of damage in an area three miles by 12 miles. Soldiers at Montauk Point were battling severe sickness and less than efficient care. About 40% of the 832 deaths of soldiers at Chickamauga were from typhoid fever, including a young man from Butt...
SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 The Whitehall legacy of John Jardine was strengthened last week when the Jardine estate gave a $50,000 donation to the Jefferson Valley Museum. Jardine, who lived in Whitehall from 1952 to 1992, operated a successful law practice, served as the town attorney, served briefly as a state legislator, and served on the Whitehall State Bank board of directors for 37 years, many of them as chairman. He perished at age 75 in December of 1997 when the small aircraft he was in collided...

On July 22, roughly 7.5% of NorthWestern Energy’s Montana customers received a message from the utility company about a potential power shutoff. The warning came both digitally and via mail to 30,000 energy consumers located in or adjacent to heavily forested areas of the state. “Our wildfire specialists have identified your property to be within a high‑risk area,” the email read. “Due to living in a high‑risk wildfire area, we want to help you prepare for service interruptions and public safety power shutoffs.” To many energy consumers, pu...

Child safety advocates at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital are seeing a rise in parents unknowingly purchasing counterfeit car seats online for their children. These seats are almost always purchased online and are enticing because of the steep price discounts compared to major brands. What often confuses parents is that these seats are found on the websites of major national retailers through third-party sellers. “It’s hard to tell a car seat is counterfeit from a small picture online, and many parents think they found a great deal...
More frequent wildfires in the West can turn hiking through beautiful, high- elevation country into a dangerous game for hikers. In July, seven friends from Idaho, Colorado, Washington and Montana took off for a week of backpacking in southwestern Montana. Everything went off without a hitch their first night. A rainstorm passed through but it wasn't a big deal. But when they woke up, they saw a plume of smoke rising into the sky. Darren Wilson had anticipated something like this, even before...
The entire Big Hole River closed to fishing at midnight on August 30 due to low flows, high water temperatures, and an unseasonably warm and dry forecast. Fishing restrictions and closures like these are designed to protect fish that become more susceptible to disease and mortality when conditions such as low flows and high water temperatures combine with other stressors, including catch-and-release fishing. Anglers can reduce stress on fish at all times of the year by quickly getting fish to the net or in hand, keeping them in the water, and...
