“I sold an hour of my life for $13” doesn’t sound nearly as good as “I make $13/hour.” Does Mike Wazowski wink or blink? When you’re criticized for being short, they’re really just saying the worst thing about you is that there isn’t more of you. Why is Monday so far from Friday, but Friday is so close to Monday? You know you’re socially awkward when you are proud of yourself for just saying what you wanted to say. We’ve ruined a lot of good songs by setting them as our alarm music. The moment you fasten your seatbelt, you begin to wear the c...
Dear Editor and the Voters of Jefferson County, I am writing to express my strong support for maintaining the Jefferson County Weed District's 3-mill levy. As a property owner in Jefferson County, I have personally benefited from the current mill levy program. The cost-sharing assistance for herbicides has made it both practical and affordable to actively manage noxious weeds on my land. Species such as cheatgrass, Canada thistle, leafy spurge, toadflax, and mullein are persistent and highly...
Little did people realize in May 1926 that the great depression was just a few years down the road. The front page of the JV News was filled with local, mostly good, news. National and world news were a few pages back in the paper. President Coolidge was greeted by more than 2,000 Boy Scouts during the 16th convention of the scouting national council. A gold rush was growing in Canada; Kilauea was erupting; Lions International was planning a convention in San Francisco; airmail service was...
I'm sure you are wondering if Miss Brandi at the Whitehall Community Library can talk about anything other than early literacy? NO! This is such an important topic, and with summer reading just around the corner, I thought this was the perfect time to hijack the column. An Ohio State University study found that kids who have one book read to them daily hear roughly 296,000 words by age five, whereas children who are rarely read to hear roughly 4,600 words. Reading five books a day pushes the cou...

The groundbreaking ceremony took place at the production site on Saturday, May, 19, 2001. Julie Kieckbusch, the Whitehall Trojan Girls Basketball coach, steps down. Kieckbusch, a high school all-star player at Sheridan and standout college player at Montana Tech, coached for...
Before he died at age 87 in early May, Ted Turner knew that stewardship of land would be his real legacy. Of course, he might also be long known for starting CNN and 24-hour news, as well as building a major league baseball team, his hometown Atlanta Braves. He also started a UN Foundation to help bring peace to the world, thanks to his starter $1 billion contribution, and he tapped former U.S. Sen. Tim Wirth of Colorado to lead it. Wirth recalls how Turner, once dubbed “Captain Outrageous,” liked to shoot from the hip and could never be bot...
Wallace Henry Madsen was born near Baker, Montana, along with his twin. Shortly after, his parents, Hans and Agnes, traveled with the family to Minnesota, where Wallace spent his youth with four sisters, his twin, and another brother. Wallace graduated from Tech High School in St. Cloud in 1953. The Army was next (Fort Lewis), and while attending a USO dance, he met his future wife. After marrying and starting a family, Wallace spent his career as a carpenter, showcasing his work ethic and craft...

I admit to liking the Book of Philemon, and I think it might be because it is so concise. It is direct that forgiveness is very often a two-way street. Onesimus wronged Philemon, but that is not where the story ends; it is the beginning of something profound. Philemon took Paul’s advice and welcomed Onesimus back with forgiveness on the basis of love; he also freed him from servitude. Numerous resources in church history state that Onesimus went on to become a pastor, and therefore, many other lives were changed as people came to salvation i...
This May, I traveled to California to spend a few days in Yosemite National Park. It is a favorite park of mine, one where I have often spent time over the years. Staying for a few days inside the park was within my modest income. For this visit, I needed to scramble for a reservation, hoping to chance upon a cancellation. As I logged into park accommodations, I had my first shock – rooms at Yosemite Valley Lodge cost around $400 per night. I opened the accommodation options to see if anything else was available, and a tent cabin that slept f...
