Baking has been Bella’s hobby since she was very young; some of her first memories are of baking with her grandma. Though she originally considered being an aesthetician she thought it through and decided to go to culinary school. Considering she can’t go a full w...

The story of a Montana woman who recently killed and skinned a domestic dog, then proudly posted photos on her social media pages, has sparked a flood of public outrage. It should. The woman allegedly mistook the dog for a wolf, saying she was excited to share that she had “smoked a wolf pup.” When others pointed out that she had actually killed a dog, likely a husky and not a young wolf, she doubled down on her actions, saying that if she were in that situation again, she still would have pulled the trigger. The photos are gut wrenching. In...
Imagine you were part owner of a nice piece of rural land, maybe with a trout stream running through it. But your neighbors won’t let you in. You don’t have to imagine, because access to far too much public land is legally blocked by private property owners, causing headaches throughout the West. If you look at a map of the region, big tracts of land run in a “checkerboard” pattern of mixed public and private land ownership. The West is literally diced up into alternating square-mile sections of federally managed land and private ground,...
Werewolves run rampant during the month of October, but you need to double-check it is not a kid dressed up. The way you tell the difference is the size and smell. Werewolves smell like grandma's house (old ham) and are taller than 6' 2". Kids are smaller and smell like mac and cheese. Hunting for werewolves is very tricky. On the one hand, you don't want them to rip you to shreds and make you their dinner. On the other, it would be socially unacceptable if they were to transform back into humans during your killing or cooking. For some...
On a ridge between the rivers, Haine and Trouille stand the 7th-century city of Mons. In late May of 1889, the man pictured below, possibly the Belgian novelist Henri-Charles Boussuet, was on trial in this capital city of the province of Hainaut as an agent provocateur of the Parti Socialiste Republicain. Posing as a long-lost friend of the group's founder, Alfred Defuissaux, Bousseut had gotten Defuissaux expelled for inciting violence, something the group was trying to steer clear of. The resu...

Juliette Gordon Low (Daisy), was born on October 31, 1860, and founded Girl Scouts in the United States on March 12th, 1912. "Daisy" wanted to prove she could still keep up with the Girl Scouts. On Saturday, October 8th Girl Scouts from Whitehall Troop 3719 joined the Belgrad Service Unit for a day of fun at the Montana Corn Maze in Manhattan. This annual tradition is to honor the...

October 1, 1997 For the first time in nearly two decades, a chartered 10-car tourist train operating under a company named Northern Parks Limited brought 44 people to Whitehall for an overnight stay on Friday, September 26.

The Whitehall Volunteer Fire Department helped provide the train water. Each car had a 500-gallon tank for cooking and...

The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) reports that breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among Montana women, accounting for 31% of new cancers. Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control, and these cells can also spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. Breast cancer screening means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat and before...
Ruby Valley Medical Center is making healthcare a local affair by participating in the Montana Office of Rural Health’s Community Health Services Development process. This project is funded in part through the Montana Health Research and Education Foundation (MHREF) Flex Grant. Through this process, a community steering group has been assembled by local leaders organized with the task of identifying local healthcare needs and establishing health priorities. Community members in the service area have also received a survey in their mailboxes. Th...
Travel 25 minutes south of Missoula, MT, and into Stevensville, MT to Fort Owen State Park. Here you will find the remains of the oldest pioneer settlement in the State of Montana. A beautiful place to visit, however, Fort Owen State Park is currently under major construction. During its peak, the only structures larger than Fort Owen in the interior western US were located in Saint Paul, MN, and Salt Lake City, UT! Originally home to the first Catholic Church in Montana, founded by Father...
Hunting for ducks, coots and geese opened Saturday, October 1. Here are a few reminders: • The aggregate daily bag for dark geese in the Pacific Flyway has increased from four to five. Dark geese include Canada geese, cackling geese, and white-fronted geese (any geese other than snow, blue, and Ross’s geese). • The Central Flyway is divided into two “zones” in order to increase opportunity. The two zones have different season dates. Zone 2, includes Big Horn, Carbon, Custer, Prairie, Rosebud, Treasure, and Yellowstone counties and has a spl...
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...
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...
