‘Movember’ is a movement designed to spread awareness about men’s health. Even though we are moving into December, it is still important to talk about men’s mental health and suicide prevention as we approach the holidays. There has been a stigma for men to address their own mental well-being and the notion to “keep quiet.” This is an underlying problem that has been common in society – men have not been addressing their own mental health enough, according to Kyler Kingston, MD, an Internal Medicine physician with St. James Healthcare. ...

Many foods are inextricably linked to certain growing seasons. For example, most people seldom eat juicy watermelon before or after summer, as this juicy, refreshing fruit seems tailor-made for long, warm days. The same can be said for other produce, including squash. While zucchini and yellow squash are decidedly summer fare, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and butternut squash seem much more at home when the chilly weather arrives. That might be why these squashes are commonly featured in holi...

As we all know, the owner of the Whitehall Ledger loves everything scary. She also loves Christmas. What a perfect time to introduce Krampus to the community! While the Christmas season is a time of festivity and joy, Krampusnacht is a darker tradition that originated in Germany as a counterpart to the feast dedicated to St Nicholas, the patron saint of children who inspired the tradition of Santa Claus. Krampus brings "gifts" to the naughty children - and sometimes takes them with him. Join us...

From greeting cards to seasonal to-do lists, there’s a lot to write down and keep track of during the holidays. Use these tips and recommendations to reduce stress while you complete these important tasks: • To-do lists: Whether you’re listing the gifts you must buy for loved ones, the groceries you need to prepare a holiday feast, or the tasks you must complete before your guests arrive, writing and referencing a lengthy to-do list can be anxiety-provoking. However, choosing the colors of your stationery and writing utensils wisely can ease...
A disgruntled hunter wrote a Writers on the Range opinion recently about Westerners getting fed up with the many out-of-staters coming in and buying up draw licenses to shoot bull elk, deer, bear, and other big game animals. As a hunter myself, I understand their frustration. But reducing non-resident tags, as Andrew Carpenter suggests, takes us in the wrong direction. The greatest threat to hunting now and in the future is the loss of habitat. Private lands provide up to 80% of the habitat for all wildlife species, including the critical...

Many Montanans have heard about Energy Share of Montana, but may not realize exactly what it does. Energy Share helps Montanans who are facing the loss of heat or lights in their homes and who have no resources to pay the bill themselves. Assistance is situationally-based, not income-based. This means that even if someone has an income that is higher than normal poverty guidelines if their situation is such that they’re about to lose their heat or lights and they have no money in the bank to pay that bill, there is a good chance Energy Share ca...
As the holiday season fast approaches, the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) has launched an expanded series of resources, guidelines, and information in response to the growing number of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries that power micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters, smaller electronics such as cell phones and laptops, and electric vehicles. As the use of these items has increased in recent years, so too has the number of fires associated with them. “Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly found in the man...

8 Years Ago - November, Part II: In late 1897, the fledging State of Montana was becoming a little more civilized every day but also facing some of the same problems found in large eastern cities. The Woman Suffrage Association of Montana elected 1898 officers, with Jefferson County well represented by Mrs. Sherlock of Boulder as the vice president. A young druggist in Butte (who has recently come from New York) committed suicide by prussic acid due to unrequited love for a young woman who...

Guides in the outdoor industry inevitably come up with collective nicknames for customers. On horseback they’re “dudes,” on the river, they’re “mers” — short for customers — and they’re “sticks” if you’re trying to trick a trout. Sometimes the terms trend a little negative — “flatlander” comes to mind, and there’s another name I’ve come to use but need to explain it. It comes out of what I do: For the last decade, I’ve guided multi-day whitewater fly-fishing trips through western Colorado’s Gunnison Gorge during the summer. Then I spend the f...
