Whitehall non-profit Gold Junction Presents is excited to bring WindSync to the Star Theatre on November 11 at 7 PM. This is a free concert, though donations are appreciated. Versatile and vibrant, the musicians of WindSync "play many idioms authoritatively, elegantly, with adroit technique, and with great fun," said All About the Arts. In the span of one performance, the quintet can cover vast musical ground from revitalized standard repertoire to freshly inked works to folk and American...
Whitehall native Jeanne McNulty-King was recently inducted into the 2023 Grizzly Sports Hall of Fame. Here, in this three-part story, you'll get an inside look at the life of a Hall of Famer, provided by MT Sports Information. Finally, lastly, No. 6 arrived. Jeanne Marie. And somewhere Händel's Hallelujah Chorus broke out in the Bitterroot Valley. The boys? Quite unimpressed, though perhaps she could be put to good use. "John was a pitcher, four years older than me. I had to sit there and...

Dear Editor, Residents, Readers, and Educators, The Whitehall Community Library and Friends of the Whitehall Community Library (FOTWCL) have a fantastic deal for you! The library has recently finished its yearly purge of the circulating collection (the books available for loan) to make room on the shelves for new purchases to that collection. The purged books have been added to the FOTWCL book sale shelves and table in the library basement. These books sell for the ridiculously low price of 10 cents per paperback and 20 cents per hardcover. The...
Dear Editor, Last week I wrote a letter to the editor stating that “politicians lie.” I need to correct that thought. While we are used to politicians saying one thing to get elected and then doing another in office, that reference was too broad. In Montana, we are fortunate enough to have representatives in office who say what they will do and then do as they say. Or at least try to. This last session we were fortunate enough to have many. Theresa Manzella, Becky Beard, and Marta Bertoglio to name a few. I apologize to these people who are...
Recently opinion pieces and information sent to legislators regarding the counties' decision to levy 77.9 mills instead of the state-directed 95 mills have been circulating in both statewide newspapers and internal legislative correspondence. It appears that the message being distributed is counties are giving large tax breaks to corporations and out-of-state homeowners while doing little for the average Montanan. While the numbers can be interpreted to support that message, and they (the numbers) are in fact accurate, they only tell part of...
Come join in on the education and fun at the Whitehall Community Library, on Tuesday, November 14 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM for Fraud Prevention Bingo.

The event will last about one hour, starting with an educational presentation and ending with a fun game of Bingo based on information the seniors learned. Lunch will be provided for attendees – they...
It’s kind of ridiculous that there aren’t many playgrounds made for adults. Someone on Earth has the least amount of Neanderthal DNA and is therefore most human. Real-life bullies also watch movie scenes depicting bullying and root for the character getting bullied. 99.999% of what happened in the last 24 hours on Earch will be forgotten by tomorrow. The police can identify you from a grainy gas station camera but the DMV can’t without two bills, a birth certificate, a social security card, and your license that’s already in their system. Salt...
8 YEARS AGO: NOVEMBER, PART I: In early November 1897, there was plenty of Montana and national news. It was reported that Butte counted 52 deaths during October, a number of them miners who experienced horrible deaths and some ladies of questionable morals in the shady parts of town. A young man dropped dead in Marysville while dancing a waltz; Louis Desberges of Great Falls had been of unsound mind for some time, attempted suicide by jumping in the Missouri River; four men escaped from prison at Deer Lodge with two captured in Pocatello, Id...
NOVEMBER 4, 1998: Jefferson County voters elected Jim Quinlan as their new Jefferson County Sheriff, sent Whitehall resident Rick Dale to the Montana State Legislature, and retained Valerie Wilson as Jefferson County Attorney in the November 3 general election. Gayle Sacry, M.D., a family physician from Whitehall, was honored for 30 years of membership in the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). The AAFP, founded in 1947, was instrumental in establishing the medical specialty of family practice in 1969. An earthquake measuring 4.1 on t...

Everyone wants to know the secret to business success. You know the one that happens overnight with very little work? The one business secret that can be doing its thing while you enjoy a much-deserved day on the greens or the open water? Success that happens automatically, like the rubbing of a genie's bottle? But guess what? There's no such thing. Even for those rare businesses that do well overnight (like people who bought fidget spinners in bulk and sold them at a huge profit), to increase sales past that initial push, they need to work to...

The authors are Kaleena Miller, Madison-Jefferson County Extension Agent, kaleena.miller1@montana.edu, and Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension Family Economics Specialist, marsha.goetting@montana.edu. “The FBI is warning about “phantom hacker” scams targeting seniors nationwide and stealing their life savings,” says Kaleena Miller, Madison-Jefferson County Extension Agent.

From Absarokee to Whitefish, Montanans have been protected against the threat of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning for years, thanks to Montana Senate Bill 161, which implemented CO protection measures statewide in 2009. Since then, CO alarms have helped save countless lives from the dangers of this invisible, odorless, and potentially fatal gas. With the passage of Montana Senate Bill 161, the “Treasure State” began requiring CO alarms to be installed in all landlord-controlled dwellings, and the disclosure of CO alarm presence or absence when tr...
In a squat 1,100-square-foot building on the outskirts of Helena lies a pile of enormous tongues. They are thick and leaden, stacked on a steel table like fish out of water. The bovines from which they came hulk nearby, cold carcasses hanging from cold hooks. Bearded men, their white coats covered in blood, rhythmically chop livers, punctuating the hum of industrial refrigeration. This small meat-processing facility, which a group of ranchers started under the name Old Salt Co-op, is one of...
Bacon has undeniable appeal. With its smoky and salty flavor, bacon often can transform dishes from tasty to delicious. There are many ways to enjoy bacon during meals, and not just at the breakfast table. In this recipe for BLTs with Pimento Cheese, bacon is the star of the show and enhanced by pimento cheese, which is a spread traditionally made from shredded cheddar, mayonnaise, and pimento peppers. It's often called the Cheese of the South because it is frequently utilized in cuisine popularized in the southern United States. For those...
