Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new fatal injury data for Montana. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 12-18 (middle and high school youth). In fact, we lose a young person (ages 10–24) every 7.02 days on an average to this silent epidemic of youth suicide. According to a 2019 survey conducted by the CDC, 23.4% of the High School Youth said that they had “seriously considered suicide within the last 12 months.” That being said, suicide is one of the leading causes of PREVENTABLE death...

'Tis the season for frost and snow (but spring is on the way!), which means coming downstairs in the morning to a chilly home. One way to rally the troops out of bed when it's cold and snowy is to reward family with a warm breakfast. Muffins are a go-to choice for a quick bite, and homemade muffins served right out of the oven can be just what's needed on blustery days. This recipe for "Triple Chocolate Muffins" from "Chocolate" (Parragon Book Service), by the editors of the Love Food series, im...

Her traveling life began at the age of two when she was whisked away to Kansas where her grandparents lived in order to assist them; also, her father had oil rights in Kansas.

“The pursuit of happiness,” Thomas Jefferson equated with “Life and Liberty,” when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. More than a century later, from 1930 until 1940, America and the world strained under the greatest decade of economic disaster in history. Then, WWII brought the plight of war across the globe. Since then, Americans have experienced wealth untold from that generation to this. But, does the accumulation of possessions or its allure set us up for a great fall? I believe so. It is true that the recent decade has witness...
This is not going to be sugar coated for the sake of the "woke". Growing up through the 60s and 70s, I have seen the struggles of what being a different color means. I witnessed what being of a different sexual orientation created. This was a time when real 'woke' people were working to rid our nation of the ugliness of racism. A time where people realized that being female didn't solely mean that you had to get married, have kids and meet the hubby at the door with his pipe, a drink, and his...

After abundant snowfall in many of Montana's river basins during February, streamflow forecasts issued by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) on March 1 indicate an increased likelihood of near to slightly above average spring and summer stream flows across the state. February snowfall totals were impressive at mountain and valley locations across Montana, some locations west of the Divide added up to sixteen inches of water to the snowpack during the month. "The Bitterroot,...
March 1, 1895 Journalism in 1895 had a much different tone than today. This first section is as written from the March 1, 1895 Jefferson Valley Zephyr. The advertisement is also from that edition. In less than one month more than ONE THOUSAND MEN will be employed in digging the great ditch for the Parrot smelting company, besides hundreds more in railroad and smelter construction. This is enough, without additional details, to account for anticipated lively times in and about Whitehall soon....
MARCH 7, 1996 A Subway sandwich shop is slated to open in the Whitehall Town Pump in about 6 weeks, Subway Development Agent for Montana and Wyoming Nick Lombardi said recently. The shop, which will share seating with the existing Town Pump restaurant, will have a full menu just like other Subway shops, Lombardi said. The shop is seeking a manager now and will be advertising in the Ledger for 8 to 10 other employees about two weeks before the shop opens, he said. A few low-lying areas along the Jefferson River near Cardwell experienced some flo...

Through COVID relief funds, Foundation grants, event sponsorship, and its store-based Nourishing Neighbors program, Albertsons/Safeway donated $234,101 to Montana Food Bank Network in 2020 to help with hunger-relief efforts across the state.

During this difficult time, Albertsons/Safeway stepped in and provided funds toward multiple hunger-relief programs operated by Montana Food Bank Network...
Purowdy! I was found as a stray, might have been abandoned but I can't tell them. Anyway, I've been tested and am negative for FIV/FeLV, UTD on my vaccinations, and am now neutered. I'm housetrained and learning how to play. I like to be petted but only if you don't make fast moves and loud noises. I was really frightened when I came in and really sick, but I'm a healthy happy guy now thanks to a great vet and good care. Purrease call Misty at (406)439-1405 and ask for me. Gratefully,...
Just as March brought in sunnier and warmer days, Liberty Place brought color and culture to the Borden’s Historic Building in Whitehall. The art display features sixteen photos and twenty six paintings, as well as two collaborative paintings, all created by Liberty Place residents. David Parker, Liberty Place’s music therapist and program director, secured a grant via the Montana Arts Council, bringing a professional artist and a photographer to the two Liberty Place centers, helping res...
“Great is your faithfulness…Lord,” is the most known verse in the book of Lamentations. Throughout church history hymns and choruses have been born out of it. I suspect you’ve sung along with one recently. The background, its context, is unbeknown to many. Great is your faithfulness was born out of much pain and anguish. Following the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C., Jeremiah reveals the hardships among the people of Israel. However, he emphasizes an extremely valuable principle; it’s when you have nothing left that God can become your tru...
We have had a little change of plans for the Flower workshops due to scheduling conflicts. It is now on March 20th and Emily Dickerson from Lewis & Clark Caverns, will be sharing “Flower Pressing and Crafts” at 9:30 a.m. for adults and then a special 11:00 session for children. If you are interested in attending, please call the Library at 287-3763 and let us know so we will have enough supplies for everyone. I have had a lot of questions from young and old alike about how elected officials accomplish different things. In view of that, the Lib...
At the annual Pastor Appreciation luncheon held by Love Inc. last week, the non-profit Christian based community support group asked for more involvement from churches and volunteers from any area of the community. The group, which offers coordinated assistance from church volunteers and local govement agencies, detailed their work over the past year, helping several Whitehall residents in a variety of ways. In 2020 Love Inc. received a grant from the Jefferson Valley Community Foundation to support a clothing closet, which helps those in need...

More than 300 samples were collected for chronic wasting disease testing during a recent CWD management hunt for white-tailed deer in southwest Montana. The hunt, which lasted from Dec. 15 through Feb. 15, was implemented to reduce densities of white-tailed deer in areas with relatively high CWD prevalence and other places nearby where CWD prevalence is expected to increase in the coming years. CWD is a contagious neurological disease that infects deer, elk and moose. It is always fatal, and there is no known cure. It was first found among...
FEBRUARY 29, 1996 The Whitehall of 2010 should be different from the current Whitehall in some ways, but in many significant ways it should remain a lot the same, even bringing back some of the community events which were treasured in the past but have faded over the years, area residents said at a Vision 2010 meeting held Feb. 21. . . The community design team, made up of four senior architecture students and Professor Ralph Johnson, (a Montana State University community design team) plans to take the ideas they hear from the community and...
