NEW EIGHTH GRADE TEACHER: Karen Sacry, a 1979 Whitehall High School graduate, is back in the Whitehall classroom, this time as the new eighth-grade teacher. Sacry, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education from Montana State University-Bozeman and has student taught in Whitehall, started her first teaching day on September 14. She teaches eighth-grade math, English, history, and science and was hired as a new teacher this fall because of the unexpectedly large size of the eighth-grade class.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently organized a tour of riparian-area restoration and management projects in the Belgrade and Whitehall areas to encourage healthier riparian zones. Cory and Diane Fitzgerald near Whitehall have a different management strategy. Along with managing cattle grazing on their riparian areas, they must also manage a large elk herd that has migrated to lower-elevation private ground due to recreational pressure in their traditional calving areas. Communities working together at the local level will enable policy to be changed to allow landowners the profitability they need to stay on the land.
