April 24, 1997 Justice Department officials arrived in Whitehall and took several Casino Night records as part of the department’s investigation into allegations surrounding the Whitehall Fire Department’s April 5 Casino Night fundraiser.

The Justice Department did make it clear that the playing of blackjack or other house games is ill...

This week's featured state park is Yellowstone River State Park in Southeast Montana. Yellowstone River State Park is just over 200 acres of what used to be the Circle R Ranch, which FWP purchased in 2008. Sandstone bluffs, pasturelands, and groves of cottonwood trees surround this unique park. Unlike many state parks across Montana, you won't find many amenities or visitor information kiosks. This undeveloped park is adjacent to Wildlife Management Areas and BLM property, allowing users to...

Much like bacon, cheese makes many meals more flavorful. When cheese is the centerpiece of a dish, cheese lovers know it will be tasty and potentially even a little addictive. Such is the case with macaroni and cheese. Many people have a go-to mac and cheese recipe in their culinary repertoire that they pull out anytime they desire some cheesy goodness. For those looking for a new mac and cheese recipe, Crusty Mac and Cheese from Virgil's Barbecue Road Trip Cookbook (St. Martin's Press) by Neal...
"I've made my decision, Father! I know you wanted me to stay here where it's safe, but I'm sick and tired of being SAFE!" In actuality, Peter's father simply didn't want his beloved son running off and getting himself killed over across the pond. Though he did want Peter to stay in relatively safe little Waukon and take over the family business. But, that wasn't the point, was it? Right now, John Arthur Hammond's concern was that his little boy would meet his fate on some bloody battlefield in...

When Brian and Corinna Ervin moved to Montana from Sacramento eight years ago, they retired their street bikes for horses and a more relaxed lifestyle, at the same time, paving the way for a new artisan business. After a horse ride with a friend, Brian returned home thinking how cool it would be to tell people he'd built his own saddle. Later, he turned that desire into CBE Leathers, saddlery, and custom-crafted leather goods. After the horse ride, in 2018, Corinna found a school that would...

Each patron who comes to see this amazing enactment of courage, survival, heartbreak, and selflessness will receive a passport to the past as they visit different centers. Each teen will share the life of a person...

April 17, 1997 Casino Night, the Whitehall Volunteer Fire Department annual fundraiser, was under investigation by the Montana Department of Justice regarding a complaint filed by Holly Stratton of Whitehall alleging improper actions during Casino Night. The complaint was divided into two parts: 1) apparently involved alleged fraud associated with one dealer, one table, and one group of players; and 2) possible permit, procedural and administrative violations by the department. Other legal questions included the legality of blackjack and...
DID YOU KNOW: • Trees conserve energy in the summer and save you money. • Properly planted trees can cut your air-conditioning costs by 15-35%. • Trees help clear the air. Trees produce the oxygen we breathe and reduce air pollution by lowering air temperature, through respiration, and retaining particulates. • Trees bring songbirds close by. Birdsong will fill the air as trees provide nesting sites, food, and cover for countless species. • Trees around your home can increase their value by up to 15% or more. Studies of comparable houses wi...
Carlie Jessop, Elementary Counselor: Happy Spring everyone! Hope you all enjoyed a much neededbreak and are ready to close out another fantastic school year! In the next month or so, we will be wrapping up learning about different tools we have for our Zones of Regulation, so be sure to ask your kiddo what tools they have in their toolbox! The kinders recently watched a read-aloud book called, What If Everybody Did That? This story helped them think about how their actions affect those around them. My hope is that they will think about what...

I’m disgusted with American journalism. It’s boring. I blame editors for assigning uninteresting stories, and people interviewed for being evasive. So, for a modest fee, I provide journalists with stories that could have happened and quotes that should have been uttered. Contact me at CustomFacts.org. None of the above is true. But if it got your attention, recall that in most forms of journalism, lies are frowned upon. Not so with wildlife photojournalism. Liars dominate. This galls me because I work with so many honest wildlife pho...
After deer and elk permits were drawn Thursday, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks uncovered an error in the drawing process affecting less than three percent of applications across the state in 10 hunting districts. This year the Fish and Wildlife Commission changed several elk hunting districts to “first and only choice” for applications, meaning if hunters want to hunt any of these districts, they forfeit the option to list a second or third choice on their application. Due to an error in the current licensing system regarding “first and only...

Rattlesnake is one of the easiest meats to acquire. You can normally find them on the road during the summer. Rattlesnakes love warm places, because they are cold-blooded, just like my ex-wife. There are only two ways to get rattlesnakes, one is to find them dead on the road, and the other is to shoot them. If you acquire a snake on the road, throw a handful of rocks at it, to double check if the snake is alive. No one wants a snake to jump at them, any more than a spider over your head. As soon as you can tell it is dead, put your boot on its...
The announcements had been sent out! Miss Jane Lippincot, daughter of Joseph and Mary Lippincot of St. Joseph, Missouri was to be wed to Richard Duane Journeyman, son of Everard and Janice Journeyman of St. Louis, Missouri.

Joseph and Mary had been looking forward to this day for over 20 years now and it seemed their dreams were soon to come to fruition!...
My name is James Reiff, I am writing to introduce myself to those of you in the community who do not know me. I have been part of the Whitehall and Cardwell communities my entire life. My wife, Logan, and I both attended K-12 in Whitehall. Our two kids are current Whitehall students. After graduating from Whitehall High, I attended Boise State University where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with minors in Political Science, Biology, and Chemistry. I received my Doctorate of Law...
Dear Jo, I am dating a beautiful woman. She is the whole package: beautiful, intelligent, fun. We share so many interests and every time we are together, it is better than the last time. Why am I writing? Well, the other day was a warm and sunny one. We went out for lunch and a walk. She wore sandals...her feet were so bad. She has scaly, yellow toenails. Her feet look like I could carve a pound of dead skin off each one. Her toenails look like weapons! That is all bad enough, but it gets worse. She had thick, grayscales between her toes! What...
