The following is as written in August 1895 editions of the Whitehall Zephyr. The accompanying photo is of an advertisement from one of those issues. Dance at Silver Star. Those who attended say that one of the most enjoyable occasions of the kind ever experienced in the Jefferson valley was the dance at that place last Friday. It was given under the management of J. O. Jordan and George Bonnowitz, and Miss Kate Dulea of Silver Star and Mr. Goodiel of this place furnished the music; T. D. Hind,...
If six-year-old Rosie Twomey of Whitehall had any qualms about singing in front of a large crowd of strangers, it didn’t show. Without a sign of nervousness, and with no instrumental accompaniment, she raised the microphone and quieted the crowd with a rendition of “Sweet Molly Malone.” In addition to sweet Rosie Twomey, the crowd heard mellow renditions of Garth Brooks songs from Curt Oliverson, rock music from David Doniza, inspirational singing from 8 ½ year-old Natasha Clements, and a duet on sisterhood from Marie Madsen and Rosalie Lofftu...
From a distance, these two little girls look like sisters. In reality, April and June were the best of friends. Born to well-off families, April and June lived right next to one another. They grew up playing together on the front lawn, walking with their mothers in the park, and going to the circus to see the incredible animals. Today their mothers could not wait any longer. Each girl was dressed in her finest clothes with hair all done up. The two met outside, ready to play, but April and June...
Trusts gained more attention during the COVID-19 pandemic as a tool to manage financial affairs, according to Montana State University Extension educators. But a trust may not be the right choice for everyone. Individuals should learn the pros and cons of the distinct types of trusts available, said Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension family economics specialist. In Montana, the person who provides property and creates a trust is a “settlor,” also referred to as a grantor, donor, or trustor. The trustee is the individual, institution or org...
During an emergency, every minute is critical, especially for those who are living in rural areas of southwest Montana. That is why having Emergency Medical Services (EMS) available to reach even the most remote members of our community is so important. Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Montana Healthcare Foundation, the City of Boulder and St. James Healthcare will conduct an Emergency Medical Response Feasibility and Planning Study to find out where care is needed and ensure everyone in the county has EMS coverage. St. James Healthcare will...
The American Red Cross has an emergency need for lifesaving blood amid the ongoing severe blood shortage. Blood donations continue to be critical to meet hospital demand and the public is urged to make an appointment to give now. The Red Cross has been distributing about 12 percent more blood products to hospitals across the U.S. compared to this time last year. The Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional blood donations each day to meet the current hospital demand and end the severe blood shortage. Donors of all blood types are...

I used to dismiss as a peculiar form of psychosis, the desire of some troubled souls to silence and censor the right of others to speak and think freely. After all, the impulse to gag the mouth and shut the mind of another individual is hardly what we would call “normal.” Compelling others to conform to our views isn’t very normal either. Doing such things never enters the minds of healthy, rational people. It’s creepy. Rational people understand that living in a free society presupposes putting the rights of others ahead of our own, and tha...

Country cooking elicits visions of straight-from-the-garden vegetables and farm-fresh meats and dairy. For those in the United States, country cooking and Southern cooking may be thought of as interchangeable, as so many homespun meals are made that much more delicious with some southern influence. Buttermilk-infused recipes are part of any country cook's repertoire, as are crispy, fried foods. That's the pairing in this delicious side dish or appetizer for "Buttermilk-Battered Okra Fries With...

What a wonderful Frontier Days! Thank you to everyone who made it possible. At the Library, the book sale was going full force as people were hauling out bags full of books for a dollar a bag. Thank you, Friends, for manning the sale while staff was busy with 40 little ones at Read & Feed. By the time you read this the Summer Reading program will have ended at the Library, but I wanted everyone to know that we are still honoring reading sheets which may be turned in through August 20.

From the Friday crafts fair and trade show to the Sunday rodeo, the weekend will be jam-packed with activities, most of them free and all of them inexpensive. Whitehall’s senior citizens may have finished growing up, but they are having growing pains, anyway. When the Whitehall Senior Citizens Center was purchased in 1974, t...
The following is taken as written from late July 1895 editions of the Whitehall Zephyr. 19th Century Montana was different in many ways, yet today in some ways, we are not much different than back then. The papers had articles that editorialized the following: a distorted report of a mineral find in the Golden Valley 10 miles southwest of town; the new $1.00 tax on business as reported by the Yellowstone Journal which said in part, "One of the most aggravating features of the new license law is...

Elizabeth was a gentle young woman who lived in town. She took care of her aging father who had run the bank for thirty years. He had lost function in both his legs and now Henry was bound to his wheelchair in the house. He had been a kind man and now he sat lonely, counting money into different piles like he used to do. Elizabeth had spent these past few years dedicated to taking care of her father. She used to go out around town and socialize with all the women. She was content to take care...
