  • RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Lasagna With Zucchini and Meat Sauce

    Jun 10, 2022

    "Comfort food" is an umbrella term for a wide array of dishes. For fans of Italian food, there may be no dish that fits the comfort food mold better than lasagna. Lasagna can be made with a wide array of ingredients, and each iteration of it qualifies as comfort food. That's certainly the case with this recipe for Lasagna With Zucchini and Meat Sauce from Lines+Angles. INGREDIENTS: (Makes 9 servings) 2 large zucchini, rinsed and trimmed Salt 12 dried lasagna noodles 1 pound ground beef 1 1/2...

  • CONNECTING POINT: Together - Original Design

    BILL LANES, Whitehall Assembly of God|Jun 10, 2022

    Invented in 1842, a cyanotype was a photographic process that produced an early blueprint for builders, architects, and engineers. In our time, the proliferation of powerful computers has enabled CAD systems that make the process available to multiple workers and teams almost effortlessly. Digital versions on tablets are the norm on the jobsite. Despite these changes, the concept of “blueprints” still exists. From the concrete footings all the way to the roof top, measurements need to align correctly. Can you imagine purchasing a brand-new hom...

  • Our Town One Hundred + Years Ago... June 1900

    ARLENE WEBER, Jefferson Valley Museum|Jun 10, 2022

    School's Out!! Those two words never go out of style for children, young adults, and teachers. Back in 1900, it was not all fun and games in the summer. There was plenty of time for fun after the chores were done. For adults, the Jefferson Valley Zephyr covered items of interest from around the world. The Boer War with Great Britain was in the news, and there were sentiments that the U.S. had too much of a hidden alliance with Great Britain. In Cuba, the McKinley appointed person to run the...

  • Dear Editor: Correcting Millet's Inaccuracies Re: I-194

    REP ALANAH GRIFFITH HD60 and REP BOB CARTER HD96|Jun 10, 2022

    Dear Editor, We are writing to correct the inaccuracies in Tom Millett's recent op-ed claiming I-194 could cost Montana taxpayers millions without fixing campaign finance. In his piece, Millett mischaracterizes the mechanism, legal grounding, and scope of Initiative 194, also known as The Montana Plan. A reading of the actual initiative text reveals a robust, tightly drafted measure designed to fix the fundamental structure of our broken campaign finance system and wrestle campaign spending...

  • Dear Editor: Good Trouble Around Our Megaphone(s)

    TOM CHERRY|Jun 10, 2022

    Dear Editor, Please note that this election evening's national TV advertising is depriving down-ballot candidates and offices of their due airtime and respect. In one fell swoop, buying our democracy and elections in full view! Signatures are currently being gathered for Initiative-194 (The Montana Plan), a great opportunity to restore some Montana campaign finance regulation. Yes, this is the one that will make the federal Citizens United case irrelevant. But it needs to get on the November...

  • Dear Editor: Thank You for Allowing Me to Serve SW Montana

    KEN WALSH, Former HD69 Representative|Jun 10, 2022

    Dear Editor, I'm proud to have lived a life committed to public service, but serving as your Representative for the past six years has been the honor of a lifetime. While I am disappointed to not be returning to Helena for one more term to work on your behalf, I will leave office deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve you. We live in an increasingly divisive time. I believe SW Montana can be a leader in showing not just the rest of the state, but the entire country, how neighbors can come...

  • Thought Provokers: Week of 6/11/2026

    Jun 10, 2022

    Which name came first? The fruit orange, or the color orange? Who came up with the expression “it’s raining cats and dogs”? How is it relevant to the weather? Despite all the colors depicted on screens, there are only three coloured pixels. If air and water are both clear, why can we see water and not air? If a tomato is a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie? Does a straw have one hole or two? Did dinosaurs have hair? Hair doesn’t preserve, so we would never know if dinosaurs had hair. Can you daydream at night? Did the plant or seed come first?...

  • Between the Stacks: Week of June 10th

    JEANNIE FERRISS, Whitehall Community Library|Jun 10, 2022

There is no paperwork to fill out, no sign-up required, just free food and full tummies. Wednesdays are our big programming days, and June 17th...
