Due to the horrific events of last week, I would like to remind the adults who come into the Whitehall Community Library that we have many children here who have very active ears.

Smallpox cases were reported in Kalispell and Great Falls and the Townsend boys from Waterloo reported on their experience with helping smallpox victims while they were in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Part of my job as a Grand Canyon educator is picking up items that hikers drop or leave behind along the trail. Some of the things I’ve found this summer lead me to wonder, "What in the John Muir?" they were thinking. A fast-food burger, in the original wrapper. I suppose they left it for the timid woodland creatures, except if fast food isn’t good for us, why would critters want it? Someone’s last remains. When a hiker pointed out a shiny object off the trail, I clambered over rocks to find a sealed urn of cremains, which is illegal to leave i...
Montana has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. As a psychiatrist and Medical Director at AWARE, I witness firsthand how this crisis affects families, communities, and entire generations.

These challenges are compounded by stigma around seeking mental health support...

All of us here at the Whitehall Community Library hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend, said goodbye to summer, and now HELLO! to fall. It's crazy to think it's already here. I love the fall: cooler weather, the leaves changing, a freshness that can be smelled in the air, and simply sitting on my back porch in the early morning with my cup of tea, watching the sunrise. Spring is my favorite season, but fall is a close second. Well, let’s just say I am a spoiled brat! Jeannie ordered the sensory table I wanted for our little ones! Excited is...
