The Reed family, along with friends and supporters, remembered 9/11 with flags, banners, and signs over the I-90 overpass on Monday afternoon. This is their sixth year of this remembrance activity. A local who lives near the overpass heard all the honking as semis and other vehicles saw the flags, and came to see what all the commotion was about. Several minutes later she returned with flags of her own and joined in....
Dear Editor, This is a story about THE SIGN and so much more. It started pretty much like any other day, then took an unexpected turn. Or maybe, not so unexpected. On the road to Butte, headed up the pass, I pull into the rest area. A familiar shade of green is illuminated by the sunlight. Woah! What? I was kind of shocked - laying in the mud, half of it suffocated beneath the trash dumpster was THE SIGN. JESUS CHRIST 2020 is all that was visible, but I knew what the hidden words under the dumpster were. I thought how symbolic is that? The...
Your car key has traveled more than your car. Alcohol companies never show a drunk person in their ads. Considering that they have existed for a timespan longer than humans, dinosaurs are sort of the main characters of Earth. Flat Earthers believe in a global conspiracy. You never see posts from women wondering why they don’t have any Tinder matches. The brain is the smartest organ in your body...according to the brain. Car companies always talk about how quickly their cars go from 0-100 but never about how quickly they can go from 100-0, w...
8 YEARS AGO - SEPTEMBER: Back in 1897, natural disasters, politics, crime, and illness were on the front page of the paper and there was plenty of satire on the inside. At least 400 people lost their lives on the Lucon island of the Philippines from a major volcanic eruption. Typhoid fever was a serious threat in Belt, Montana with 44 cases reported. In Alaska, typhoid and scurvy were attacking the miners – it was reported that many men had teeth dropping out of their mouths from the scurvy. An uproar was created when the government o...
SEPTEMBER 9, 1998 Smoldering cottonwood tree limbs erupted into a full blaze at the Whitehall dump on Tuesday, September 1 and county officials were considering a range of options to prevent a repeat incident. Moist cool air and scattered rain showers on Labor Day dampened the emergency fire threat in southwestern Montana, and crews at the Bear Gulch fire south of Whitehall were pulled off the fire on September 6th. Augie Brower and Jackson Truckle were selected to perform at the 1998 Montana High School All-State Music Festival at the...

I really love the fact that the children and young adults who come into the Library get along, no matter if they are homeschooled, private schooled, or public school. It is fun to watch them interact and share information about what they are doing, studying, and participating in outside of the school day. All Library programs are open to anyone who wants to participate, and this gives families from every type of education a chance to mingle and make new friends. That being said, the two homeschool roundup groups met last week and are planning...
