Country cooking means different things to different people. For many, it is the comfort foods they grew up with. From fried chicken to mac and cheese to meatloaf, there are plenty of dishes that fall under the country cooking umbrella. But a pot of chicken and dumplings may be one of the most popular and recognizable country cooking staples. Chicken and dumplings are flavorful, feed a crowd, and appeal to everyone from adults to children. This recipe for "Quick Chicken and Dumplins" from "Lord...
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 There is nothing that you cannot handle this week, Aries. Expect to juggle a lot at once, but somehow you make it look easy. A calm demeanor is a big asset. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 This week will be fairly quiet for you, Taurus. You are likely to connect with a task and dig down deep until it is completed. If someone tries to persuade you to take a break, you likely won’t. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Many forces are working together to provide insight, Gemini. Take a step back and consider all of the variables in play. The s...
Societies have long deemed money and possessions to be the mark of success. A fancy house, a brand new Ford F-350, or the false security of a swollen bank account- these seem to be “The American Dream.” Jesus addressed the topic of money a lot. Throughout the Bible, we find advice and instruction on how to live a balanced life, including wise management of our possessions and valuing our relationships as our top priority. Since money and possessions vary amongst us, one common denominator we have is time. Last I checked, we all share 24 hou...
Georgia, I have a question. I’m a tall man (6’4”) and sick of people asking to “borrow” my height. So...I finally said NO! Am I wrong here? A short woman asked me to grab something for her from the top shelf, but I said: “No, thanks.” I was doing my grocery shopping at Walmart, and some of the shelves there are pretty high. Reaching the top is obviously not an issue for me, although apparently that means I am expected to help whenever somebody shorter notices me nearby. A woman who was maybe 5’2” got my attention and asked whether I could g...
Integrated Weed Management (IWM) is a weed management strategy that uses multiple control tactics. That is a long-term, holistic approach that combines methods to minimize economic, health, and environmental risks while preventing weeds from developing resistance or adapting to a single control mechanism. Think of this as a "toolbox" of noxious weed-fighting strategies that you can pick and choose from for the unique circumstances of your property. Here are many of the weed management strategies that are part of our IWM toolbox: 1) noxious...
It is lovely to have all the cool weather we have been having. Summer hasn't seemed like summer this year, but it is coming. If you are without air conditioning and the weather is hot, please feel free to come to the Whitehall Community Library (110 W First St., Whitehall) to cool off. You can pick up a lunch for your children, read books or magazines, participate in a program, or just sit on the couches and enjoy the cool air. It will get hot in the coming months, and we want everyone to know...
After three years of preparation for the "Journey of Discovery," the play finally premiered on June 29, 2001. The history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was presented in this historical presentation, and it mostly focused on interactions between the Corps and Native Americans from St. Louis to the Rocky Mountains. WHITEHALL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Brian Carey. Brian Carey won the bareback bronc competition at seven high school rodeos in 2001 and took third place in the state, qualifying him for...
"At this stage in my life, I have moved from being a 'giver' to being a 'receiver'." Jack Labrie offered his perspective shortly before his passing on June 23, 2026, at the age of 92. Jack was born to Joseph and Josephine (Kountz) Labrie on February 15, 1934, their fifth child. After his birth and early years in Long Beach, California, the Labrie family returned to Montana and settled on the family farm near Whitehall, ready to "make a million" in the potato farming business. Jack recalled, "I... Full story
In 1900, our country was just one year shy of its 125th anniversary. Independence Day celebrations were often grand affairs with plenty of patriotic music, speeches, and a sea of U.S. flags waving in a Montana breeze. However, there was also the dirty little business of politics, not much different from the themes we hear today. Page 2 of the July 7, 1900, edition of the Jefferson Valley Zephyr did not hold back anything from the editorial about the "sordid, selfish, unsympathetic, snakey cold...
The Montana Plan (I-194) is now being prepared for your ballot, placed there by over 50,000 Montanans and more than 600 all-volunteer signature gatherers who gave their time because they believe in something simple: elections should belong to the people, not to corporations hiding behind anonymous checkbooks. I’ll note this was the first all-volunteer signature-gathering effort in decades. That bothers some very powerful people. And they are doing everything they can to stop you. Don’t be surprised. This has been going on for a hundred yea...
Why do Montanans send legislators to Helena? It is to solve problems – it’s as simple as that. It’s a simple concept that voters across the political spectrum likely agree on. We elect representatives to make the state government work better for the people. We should not expect the Legislature to spend valuable time passing symbolic resolutions that accomplish absolutely nothing. Yet, every legislative session in Helena, we see taxpayer funds being spent on performative politics. One cringe-worthy example from the 2025 legislative sessi...
