If you haven't been to the Whitehall Senior Center in a while, you probably wouldn't recognize it if you walked in today! The center has gotten a beautiful facelift under the care and tutelage of Jim Webster and crew. The improvements were unveiled during the center's fundraiser breakfast in August. " We were so honored that so many of our community members joined us in celebrating our new look at the center," said Webster. "A BIG THANK YOU goes to all of the Whitehall Senior Center members who...
Because a year is 365.2425 days long, people aren't always a year older on their birthday. The moon is out during the day as much as it is at night, and because we insist on a sun/moon dichotomy, we create confusion. If refrigerators had always existed, many delicious foods wouldn't exist today. Since running AI costs much more than subscriptions cover, one company could bankrupt another by using investor money to use the competitor's product a lot instead of improving its own. If you turn on...
Dear Editor, Folks with an inquisitive nature like to be well-informed using facts before making decisions. On November 3rd, Montana ballots will offer us the chance to thoroughly consider Constitutional Initiative CI-132, already endorsed by 2,000+ neighbors and friends. The independent spirit of our state has consistently elected judges in nonpartisan elections since 1935, and in 2026 we hold the power to continue this heritage of justice into the next century. This simple measure started as...
Art Wittich created a purity test for the GOP. It’s like 7th grade all over. It was horrible the first time. Wittich’s redux isn’t any better. Think of it as a chastity ring for Republican politicians. Sit with a Democrat at lunch, and you are out of the club. Gone. Talk to a Democrat. Agree with one. Ruined for life. You lose your “Republican” pin. Meet the adolescent purity police. Wittich’s theology is toxic. If you aren’t at his table. You are the problem. Evil incarnate. A threat to America. A woke, liberal extremist. Supersized ha...
Summer may be waning, but September still beckons you to head outdoors for recreation and activities. What’s not to enjoy about cool, crisp weather, autumn colors, and, with school back in session, fewer crowds? Trout await in the rivers; cool mountain trails tempt hikers, and wildlife watching is always special. Likewise, communities are staging the last of the Farmers Markets and promoting events to highlight the season. In WHITEHALL, the crisp fall weather is perfect for outdoor recreation, with highlighted activities including fly f...

Whitehall school administrators knew they would see a drop in school enrollment; the only question was how big of a drop? The Whitehall Public Schools started the 2001-2002 school year on Monday, August 27, and a lot more kids showed up than expected. Last spring, school ended in Whitehall with an enrollment of 568 students in grades K-12. A number of students here last year have moved away, but instead of dropping, total enrollment has unexpectedly climbed to 582. Not counting the 17 new...

Whitehall Indivisible (WI) hosted US Senate candidate Kyle Austin last week. Though running on the Libertarian ticket, Austin presents as an isolationist non-Trump Republican. Austin is a pharmacist and farmer from Havre and has been pursuing a career in federal politics since high school. His affiliation with the Libertarian Party is loose enough that he has removed the Libertarian label from his campaign materials. His fiscal plan includes further cuts to government by eliminating inefficiencies, and he sees no need to alter the tax...
Many Montanans think a vehicle or vessel automatically passes according to their will when they die. Well, maybe or maybe not. Ownership and title laws often determine who receives those assets. Fortunately, a Montana law now provides a simple way to transfer a vehicle or vessel at death without the time and expense of probate. The Montana Legislature passed the Beneficiary Designation for Vehicles and Vessels Act in 2021, allowing owners to name beneficiaries who can receive title to certain vehicles and vessels after the owner’s death. The M...

Comfort foods often come to mind for home cooks when the mercury drops. Rich, savory dishes that warm you from the inside out can chase away the chills of winter weather and bring the whole family together around the table. Spaghetti is often paired with meatballs and covered in marinara sauce as an ideal comfort dish. But there's much more to this pasta, and it can be enjoyed in many different ways. In this recipe for "Chicken Spaghetti" courtesy of Ree Drummond, who is known as the "The...
Assumptions occur in life, and because they are imperfect, some are dangerously deceptive. A widely held assumption, at least in the American West, is that everyone goes to heaven. The topic of spending eternity in heaven is certainly sensitive, but clear Biblical instructions and teachings from Jesus must shape our theology, not an assumption. “I’m a good person…I do good things for others…I attend church…I pray,” and more justify some to believe that these are all Christ asks. The Bible explains that we are all sinners in need of a Savior, a...
SEPTEMBER 1926 • One hundred people lose their lives in Spain on September 1 due to flooding from storms. The storms come after a 55-day drought. · The funeral train of actor Rudolph Valentino arrives in Chicago on September 3 after departing New York a day earlier. Despite a heavy police presence, several grieving fans break through a police cordon and run onto the tracks. · Fifteen members of the League of Nations Council unanimously accept a resolution to admit Germany to the League on September 4. A condition of that acceptance was Ger...
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission approved the 2026-2027 wolf and furbearer hunting and trapping regulations after nearly four hours of deliberation and public comment focused almost entirely on wolf management. For the upcoming season, which starts Sept. 5, the commission approved a total harvest quota of 300 wolves, broke down by regions. This is lower than last year’s statewide quota, but higher than the quota of 250 recommended by FWP. Last year’s quota was 452, and 247 wolves were harvested. The approved quotas are based on an ame...
Had Donald Trump been president in 1973, when Richard Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act into federal law, the Gunnison sage-grouse would be extinct. Close to 90 percent of all Gunnison sage-grouse remaining on the planet are in the Gunnison River Basin of west-central Colorado. The rest are in Utah. They've been extirpated from Arizona and New Mexico. The species is critically endangered in fact, if not by official decree. It is protected by the Act as just "threatened" because the...
Daily fishing restrictions, commonly known as hoot-owl restrictions, have been lifted for several rivers in southwestern Montana with cooling water temperatures. Restrictions have been removed for the Gallatin, Jefferson, Ruby and Shields rivers. The following updates have been made for the Madison River: The restriction immediately upstream of Ennis Reservoir and the closure downstream of the reservoir have been removed. A hoot-owl restriction remains in effect upstream of Hebgen Reservoir to the boundary of Yellowstone National Park. A...
NorthWestern Energy has been ordered by state regulators to take its 20-year power plan back to the drawing board. The move comes after analysts for the Montana Public Service Commission found deficiencies in the utility’s Integrated Resource Plan, or IRP. It’s essentially a roadmap that estimates power needs and how the utility will cost-effectively supply that power to its customers over the next two decades. Commissioners voted 3-1 last week to require NorthWestern to address flaws found in the plan, according to an independent review fro...
GEORGIA, I have a question. Why do women think they can wear whatever they want when doing chores? Seriously! This is to the woman mowing her lawn like you’re on a freaking runway - put clothes on! Honestly, who do you think you are? This is a residential neighborhood, not a modeling agency casting call. There you are, week after week, pushing that lawnmower in a crop top and a skirt so short I can see your pockets hanging out, bending over the engine every five minutes like you’re posing for a calendar. My husband was trying to enjoy his cof...
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are bursting with momentum, but your tongue may move faster than your brain this week. You don’t need to force a final decision or push an agenda right now. Speak thoughtfully. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Reshuffled schedules might test your patience, Taurus. Focus on finding a healthy balance and do your best to adjust. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 A gap between your grand vision and your current reality might feel frustrating, Cancer. However, necessity is the mother of invention. Trust the small opportunities that c...
