The Library will be closed on Monday, May 29, in honor of Memorial Day. We will be open regular hours the rest of the week. One question I get asked every summer is: Will the Library be open different hours? Our schedule is set for the year according to when we have the most patrons in and what times are best for different programs. We are open 48 hours a week, which is more than many libraries our size. Current hours for the Library are as follows: Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM to 7 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM to 7 PM; Fridays...

Quick and simple meals are the name of the game when warm weather beckons and spending time in the kitchen is less attractive. Salads are best during midsummer when they can be comprised of fresh and ripe ingredients plucked right from the garden. What's more, salad can be a side dish or even the main meal if fortified with a little protein and some bread. This recipe for Authentic Greek Salad from Clueless in the Kitchen: Cooking for Beginners (Firefly Books) by Evelyn Raab is ideal. The...

MAY: Part I By May in 1897, the long cold, snowy winter had finally receded and allowed spring to arrive. While the rest of the country and the world were embroiled in war, natural disasters, and front-page crime, life was still a little more docile here in our valley. People in Virginia were shaken by an earthquake; the Globe Savings Bank in Chicago had failed due to the mismanagement by its officers; in Fresno, California, a spurned man killed a woman and her daughter and then himself; war...
MAY 6, 1998 Whitehall High School Academic team number two won first place in both the written competition and the oral competition at the First Annual Southwestern Academic Olympic contest held in Bozeman on May 4th.

Ken Kinzer, a science teacher at Whitehall High School, was honored by Montana State University-Bozeman as a Montana “Influential Teacher.” The award came through the nomination of former WHS...
The Chosen season III will play at the Star Theatre for four Tuesdays, beginning May 16, at 7 PM. Each night will feature two episodes of the groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus, seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Jewish oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season show shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus' revolutionary life and teachings. These showings are free to the public and all are invited; donations are...
I just finished reading James Patterson's new Women's Murder Club novel, "The 23rd Midnight" and it started me thinking about why mysteries are so popular after decades of different authors and titles. The first reason patrons tell me they are such mystery fans is almost all mysteries are series with anywhere from 3 to 40 different books. The familiarity with the settings, characters, and type of mystery gives them comfort that the next book will be like meeting old friends for a new adventure....
At the starting gates were Kay Fisher, Rob Finney, and Karen Ranta as a substitute jockey with Janet Finney as a contributor but nonrunner during the race. With the excitement of the Kentucky Derby, this aforementioned group delivered across-the-board delicious trifecta brunch items that made the crowd whinny with delight! Beautifully painted horse-shaped, melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies, Glorious Morning Muffins, so moist and full of garden goodness, and a scrumptious pasta salad. Added to...

During allergy season, having a safe haven from the triggers that make you sneeze and wheeze is essential. While you can't completely control your surroundings in the great outdoors, you can take steps at home to reduce allergens and feel your best. • Fresh, cool air: The right air conditioning unit can help you breathe better indoors. For example, the Midea U delivers a cold airflow that can be felt up to 20 feet away and features full DC inverter technology to rapidly cool a room. Its removabl...
SUNSHINE IS BACK: This is an older picture and she doesn't look quite this good anymore, but Charlie got his Sunshine back! Several weeks ago her batteries finally gave up the ghost. After four years, along with several deep-freezes this past winter, they decided they'd had enough. Charlie had been begging for rides to get around, but this past weekend, Sunshine made her return to the road with a little help from friends!...
After a couple of months of above-normal precipitation across most of Montana, active weather largely slowed down in April. "In typical Montana fashion, last month's weather consisted of a combination of sunny days, winter weather, and rain," said Eric Larson, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Water Supply Specialist. The most notable storm occurred around April 18-22 and delivered 20 to 30 inches of dense snow to upper elevations in the northern Swan Mountains, central...
The prehistoric past can perk up the present. When woolly mammoth bones were found in my hometown in Wisconsin years ago, they became the centerpiece of one of our local museums. Today, they continue to attract visitors and serve as one of the city's informal symbols. Unfortunately, the story across much of the fossil-rich West is more abandonment than local fame. During the late 19th century, paleontologists made huge finds in the region, excavating specimens of famed dinosaurs like...
Once a novelty in select stores, rotisserie chicken is now ubiquitous in supermarkets and other food centers. People are drawn to rotisserie chickens by flavor and convenience. Hot and ready to serve, rotisserie chicken makes for a quick and easy meal when time is of the essence and people don't want to spend on dining out at a nearby restaurant. Rotisserie chicken can be served right out of the container just like a traditional roasted chicken. It also can be a component in many different meals...

The arrival of warmer weather in Jefferson County increases our chances of risky encounters with wildlife. One such risk, to both humans and domestic animals, is rabies. Animals commonly associated with rabies in Montana, such as skunks and bats, emerge during early and mid-spring - the same time most of us want to enjoy the warmer weather. Fortunately, reducing the risk of rabies for humans, pets and livestock is possible by taking simple precautions. Rabies is a preventable viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid...
APRIL 29, 1998 The Star Theatre in Whitehall, which faded to black in the mid-1990s, planned to reopen on Friday, May 18 with a showing of the movie “As Good As It Gets,” followed later in the month by the blockbuster film “Titanic” and critically acclaimed “Good Will Hunting.” Whitehall residents Kerry and Karen Sacry were purchasing the theatre from Eunice Hansen. Kerry Sacry said restoration work on the theater began in January, and virtually everything - floor, sets, ceiling, projector equipment, sound system, popcorn machine, plumbing -...
