If you haven't had the privilege to meet Heidi Austin yet, you should make it a point to do so next time you see her around town. Heidi Lynn moved to Whitehall in July of 2021 with her husband, Will, and three of their four daughters. Will's parents, Lionel and Karen Austin are longtime Whitehall residents. Heidi's family has been back and forth across the U.S. several times, from Vermont to Colorado and the southeastern U.S., then back to Montana. "Will would joke about me moving to...
It would be very difficult to look at Carol Beiderman's paintings of animals – a grinning cow, a big-eyed squatting frog duo, the female with long eyelashes and lipstick; a Highland cow whose long locks completely cover its eyes, a happy turtle - without smiling. Carol loves animals, which is pretty obvious; you can see the lightness and fun in each one, so it's no surprise she calls them her Whimzees. The Whimzees came along about four years ago, starting as a hobby to enjoy. Carol is s...

Headlines in March 1896 bear a similarity to what you might read today. There was political unrest, murders, suicides, concerns about grain prices, and a horrific storm in the Pacific Ocean that devastated Fiji. Here in Montana, people were hoping for early spring and a Montana Congressman is hailed for standing up to the president for saying some very disparaging remarks about people out west. The following is taken as written from March 20 and 27, 1896 editions of the Whitehall Zephyr....

Louisa grew up in the best of families. She never knew the darker side of life, for as the only child (a daughter, no less), she had never wanted for anything. Born Louisa Jane Flockheart she emerged into this life on a cold January morning in 1897, the child of arguably the richest couple in Waukon, Iowa. As first-generation Scots, Sir Robert Flockheart and his wife Dalriadan had fled Scotland on the heels of the religious persecution which had festered there for over three centuries. Being of...

I can feel you questioning two phrases "Toe Jam" and "Bigfoot" but hear me out. Bigfoot is number 5236 on the endangered species list and still can be found in parts of Montana. My great-grandma, Arlene, claimed she saw a Bigfoot and followed him. She watched him for days and nights. Arlene studied him, as he made what she called "Toe Jam". Now that I have been seeing big footprints up in the hills, I thought I would test this recipe out. I have heard rumors that Bigfoot is very easy to catch and release. You need to lace the rope into the net...

Inspect your chimneys, which should be cleaned at least once a year. Addit...
