The Montana Elderly Homeowner/Renter Credit program is a property tax relief program that provides a refundable income tax credit of up to $1,150. This credit is subject to the ARPA Savings Clause; therefore, if the savings clause is triggered, the credit will revert to the previous maximum of $1,000. For 2022, however, the clause was not triggered, thereby assuring that the new maximum will be in effect for this year. Elderly Montana homeowners or renters (age 62 or older) may qualify for this credit even if they do not have to file an income...
Everyone has his or her own idea of comfort food. For some, it is biting into a piping-hot slice of pepperoni pizza. Others can't get enough of a hearty bowl of beef stew. Snack foods also can be categorized as comfort foods and potato chips (or crisps as they're known across the pond) are no exception. Potato chips come in different flavors and cuts, including crinkle and kettle chips. While it's easy to pick up a bag at the store, why not whip up a fresh batch right at home? You will have...
Predicting how a future event will make us feel is known in psychology as affective forecasting - and most human beings are pretty lousy at it. "People are terrible at knowing what is good for them," said Dr. Bob Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, "and we seem particularly bad at forecasting the benefits of relationships." It can be tempting to just stay home rather than socialize, said Dr. Waldinger, who is an author of the new book "The Good Life." "We'll think,...
Experiencing pain in some form is a fact of life on earth. Unfortunately, many people experience chronic daily pain and come to accept it as part of the “human condition.” But have you ever asked yourself why we experience pain? Pain is a teacher. It comes when we need to make a change, whether it be physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, or relationally. Some of us avoid pain by silencing it or covering it, and some of us surrender to it as our forever reality. When we take these act...

FEBRUARY, PART I 1897 was starting out with turmoil and political division. There were calls in Washington D. C. for major bank reforms to help curb the financial problems in the country; a bill proposed to give money for the Nicaragua canal project was strongly objected to since it would give millions to a company worth only about one-half of a million; the war in Cuba was still raging; the Montana legislature put thumbs down on 53 bills and passed 16 which included the creation of Broadwater...
FEBRUARY 11, 1997 During the February 9th council meeting, a division between the Whitehall Town Council and Whitehall Mayor Dale Davis produced a standoff on the appointment of a town attorney. The council and mayor were unable to agree on a town attorney resulting in a chaotic legal and procedural situation. The meeting adjourned without a consensus on the town attorney position. Davis, in making his nomination to appoint Leonard Haxby, an attorney in Butte who owned property in the Whitehall area, said the mayor had the legal right to make...

The first Wednesday of each month is the meeting day for the Whitehall Garden Club (WGC), held at Borden's Conference room. In the month of January, the WGC committees met, budgets were set, and programs were decided. That information was all brought to the first official in-person meeting of the WGC 2023 and what a great meeting it was with Kathy Ross as the new President! But in true WGC style, the pre-"game" faire was a delicious reason to show up early! Hostesses Kathy Ross and Diane Ward...
Black History Month and Valentine's Day are guiding the February free public programs for the Montana Historical Society in a couple of unusual ways. On Feb. 9, join Kate Hampton, the director of the MTHS's Montana African American Heritage Resources Project, for a discussion on the history of several Montana laws that affected how Black residents were able to participate in society. Since the establishment of Montana Territory in 1864 through the present day, Montana has enforced laws and polic...

There are 2.5 million children in the United States growing up in “grand families,” meaning they’re being raised by relatives or close friends without their parents in the home, and they face higher rates of hunger and food insecurity, according to a new report. The Generations United report, “Together at the Table: Supporting the Nutrition, Health, and Well-Being of Grandfamilies,” highlights the particular struggles of such households, which are often unprepared financially for the unexpected job of raising a child, and may encounter...

Did you know your heart beats around 100,000 times a day and pumps 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body each day? Your heart truly is the workhorse of your body. The question is: how well do you take care of your heart? A healthy diet and lifestyle are your best weapons to fight cardiovascular disease, according to Nurse Practitioner Becky Wozniak at the SCL Health Medical Group - Heart & Vascular Institute in Butte, Montana. “It’s not as hard as you may think,” said Becky Wozniak, NP. “But it does require you to be intentional so that...
All Montanans have seen the bumper stickers and heard the chatter warning potential newcomers against changing Montana. This proud defense of our state often emanates from folks a lot like me; from hunters, anglers—people who love to hike our mountains and camp in the backcountry. Most of us have been quoting those bumper stickers assuming that any change would probably come from interlopers in rainbow-painted VW vans, or maybe from dangerously liberal urban yuppies with their shiny new electric vehicles and brand-new Montana plates. M...
