Chicken drumsticks or angus beef burgers may be the stars of summertime grilling, but classic side dishes can enhance any meal. Coleslaw completes the deli salads trifecta alongside macaroni salad and potato salad. Coleslaw is often served at summer picnics and barbecues, and it is at home on the side of sandwiches or even on top. Coleslaw can dress up Reubens or even replace sauerkraut on frankfurters. It's convenient to pick up premade coleslaw at the deli counter, but it's also easy to make...
It has been so much fun watching everyone come in to sign up for Summer Reading this week. Registration is open and the programs begin on June 7th. Reading in the summer may have a huge effect on the “summer slide” where children fall behind on the skills they have practiced during the winter months. There are many fascinating studies on the slide, which causes some students to fall behind several months by the fall. The same studies show that those who read during the summer may start their studies months ahead of others. The Library joi...

Even if you haven’t heard the phrase “weight-loss plateau” before, chances are you’ve experienced one. Heck, you may be staring one in the face right now. Basically, after experiencing success, a plateau typically occurs where progress stalls or stops altogether. The most common example is a “weight-loss” plateau, which usually occurs somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 weeks to 6 months after getting your weight-loss party started. However, progress can plateau in virtually any domain of health and fitness (such as muscle and strength ga...
Editor's Note: This year the Whitehall School District is losing several well-known and loved staff. For the next few weeks the Name to a Face column will be dedicated to those who will no longer be gracing the hallways of WHS/WMS/WES next semester. We wish them all the best in their retirement!

Sacry spent...
The Memorial weekend kicks off the busy summer travel season when many Montanans hit the road for vacation, celebrations, and recreation. Memorial weekend also marks the start of the deadliest time of year on Montana roads. In Montana, nearly 50 percent of all fatal crashes occur during the summer months. Many of these fatalities could have been prevented by wearing a seat-belt – reducing the chance of fatal injury by nearly half. Law enforcement agencies across Montana are adding additional p...
Sometimes the people who make the greatest impact on our lives don't live in the same community as us. We may not see them day in and day out, but their presence in our lives is felt every minute of our days. Such is the case of Laura Thomas-Hadley and Tayla Andrews. As many of you know, Andrews is our local postal worker - most of us see her on a daily basis and know her friendly smile. Thomas-Hadley has helped change Andrews life in many dramatic ways throughout the years and Andrews is...
Some subjects are easy to address while others are very difficult. This is today’s case. Abuse of any nature whether physical, emotional or sexual is extremely traumatic and sinful. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience physical or sexual assault, and in the United States 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men are raped in their lifetime. Almost half of victims of rape in the United States were raped by an acquaintance. These statistics are alarming; behind every number is a person with a sto...

Children have played an important role in my personal and professional life. Children bring joy and energy to life. As a child, I wanted to grow up to be a mother or a nurse. I have had the fortune of becoming both. As an adult, I recognize the best blessing was becoming a grandmother. Much of my adult life has been spent promoting children’s health. The basics for keeping children physically healthy include safety, nutritious food, exercise and immunizations. Caring for our children’s men...
May 1921 Part 2 The following are taken as written from May 1895 editions of the Whitehall Zephyr SCHOOL BONDS: Saturday, May 25th, one week from tomorrow, an election will be held for the purpose of deciding whether Whitehall is a progressive or retrogressive community. The present school building is manifestly much too small to accommodate the demands at present-what will it be by winter? It is proposed to add another story to the present building. It has been said that it is only two years...

Love them or hate them, most Americans pay their fair share of taxes into the government’s coffers as a basic duty. In return, we get roads, schools, law enforcement, health services, clean air and water and other public goods that benefit everyone. But for too long, the rules that apply to most of us have been shirked by the richest households and corporations--those who can afford to pay their fair share, but thanks to loopholes, lobbying and preferential treatment, seldom do. Every year, dozens of Fortune 500 corporations manage to avoid t...

As the mercury rises, the opportunities to cook a greater number of meals on the grill increases. For many people, there's nothing like the smoke-kissed flavor of meats, poultry and vegetables seared over an open flame. Hamburgers are a grilling staple in many households. Burger flavors and toppings are only limited by a home cook's imagination. For those who may need a little burger inspiration, this recipe for Barbecue Chipotle Burgers courtesy of the Iowa Beef Council features a beer-based...
Often considered the unofficial kick-off to summer, Memorial Day weekend typically includes lots of celebrations and cookouts, often with outdoor grilling as a focal point.

This includes 4,900 structure fires and 5,700...

Every year, on the last Monday in May, Americans observe Memorial Day. Originally called “Decoration Day,” Memorial Day is a holiday to commemorate those who died in battle while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Historians traced the origin of Memorial Day back to the American Civil War. The end of fighting brought great relief and peace to many but was also a time of intense grief. Thousands of soldiers lost their lives, and those who survived often returned home to hear that their fathers, brothers and other relatives had been killed. Fol...
