Summer seems to pass too quickly. One day we are enjoying warm evenings and outdoor activities, and the next there is a chill in the air, a sure sign that fall is here. Fall also marks the beginning of the respiratory season, when illnesses such as the common cold, influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) tend to circulate more widely. We cannot prevent every illness; however, simple, consistent steps can help reduce the spread and keep you, your family, and your loved ones...
According to the Society for Women's Health Research, "Each day, approximately 6,000 women in the United States reach menopause – marked at one year since the last menstrual period." Thus, every woman will eventually go through this transition as she ages. Unfortunately, many women have suffered unnecessarily in silence due to stigma or insufficient research. The good news- times are changing! Key Points of Perimenopause & Menopause: Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause. It c...
Yellowstone National Park attracts close to 5 million visitors every year for a major reason. Yes, it has spectacular geysers and world-class trout rivers, but what makes the park unique is that it's home to wild animals native to the area, from grizzly bears and wolves to elk, deer, and bison. That they flourish is due to Yellowstone's huge expanse of wildlands - you'd have to drive 1,000 miles to circle what's called the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. But new policies from Washington, D.C., wo...

Study hall can feel tedious or boring, especially for students who have finished their work and are simply looking for a quiet way to spend the rest of class. In Whitehall, the study hall is large, and while some students use the time to complete assignments, others quietly play card games or color. Unfortunately, many of the materials the study hall teacher, Mrs. Scarborough, has to work with are currently worn out. The playing cards are old, torn, and tattered, while the coloring markers are...

September 1926 was like many other Septembers-kids were heading back to school, crops were being harvested, and political articles were common, with a general election just weeks away. Montana voters were asked to approve Good Roads Bill 31 for a one-cent increase in the gas tax to improve and maintain 4700 miles of roads. Shipping sheep kept the railroad here busy with 12 cars loaded and sent east on the evening of September 21st from the ranches of Emmett Douglas, Albert Burgoyne, Earl...
The state of Montana filed to dismiss its own lawsuit against Yellowstone National Park over bison management. The suit stemmed from Yellowstone’s new bison management plan, released in summer 2024. Under the framework — the first update to bison management in Yellowstone in nearly two-and-a-half decades — bison numbers would average about 5,000 in the park, allowing for the species’ ecological role on the landscape and enhancing tribal transfer and harvest opportunities outside park boundaries. The state filed suit on New Year’s Eve 2024, rene...
For many people, heartburn is an occasional annoyance after a spicy meal or late-night snack. But for millions of Americans living with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the condition can become a daily struggle that affects sleep, comfort, and overall quality of life. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, about 1 in 5 people in the U.S. has GERD. The most common symptoms are heartburn and regurgitation, or a feeling of fluid, food or stomach acid coming up into the chest or throat. One concern with ongoing, active acid...

If turkey is now on your mind, consider this recipe for “Turkey Roulade With Vegetables and Fried Potatoes” courtesy of Lines+Angles. INGREDIENTS For the r...
COUNCIL STRUGGLES WITH SWIMMING POOL FIX: Pool repairs and costs mount, and no solution is in sight. A frustrated Whitehall Town Council, short of funds and ideas to repair the swimming pool, took no action and made no firm plans at the September 10 council meeting to move ahead with repairs to the community swimming pool. The pool, closed all summer after leaks were discovered when it was filled earlier this summer, has seen fits and starts of work as town officials and community volunteers...
These cooler mornings have been so nice! Drinking a hot cup of tea out on the back porch, watching a covey of Hungarian Partridges flutter about in my backyard. I’m sure they will be moving on soon, but I have enjoyed them hanging around. My willows are starting to turn their fall yellow, but not all, so their contrasting colors are quite beautiful. Of course, the peaceful scene is not complete without a good book in my hand! Good thing I love my job at the Whitehall Community Library (110 W First - Whitehall) because I could sit there e...
The fall harvest is nearly done, kids are going back to school, the weather is getting cooler, and an election is on the horizon, with plenty of political discussion taking place. It sounds like today, but these things also happened in our valley in September 1900. If you wanted to know who was registered at the Whitehall Hotel, the paper listed names and where guests were from. Those who made the long journey to Butte were listed as having visited the Smoky City. The news from outside our...
The Town of Whitehall received a Montana Forest Action Plan grant from the Montana Urban and Community Forestry Association (MUCFA) to conduct a tree inventory and develop a tree care and management plan for its public trees. The Whitehall Garden Club, MUCFA, City of Whitehall staff, and the Extension Agent are completing the inventory. Whitehall had 520 trees in its 2013 inventory. The Whitehall public tree inventory has not been updated since 2013. MUCFA's goal is to train enough people in...

A hoot-owl restriction has also been lifted for the Madison River from the Warm Springs Boat Launch to the confluence with the Jefferson River. These restrictions were implemented because of warm water temperatures. Hoot-owl...
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is updating the management plan for Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park and is asking the public to share their thoughts about the park. The park’s current management plan was adopted in 2000 and amended in 2007. Since then, much has changed. Visitation has grown substantially, the Lewis and Clark Caverns Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018, and the park’s tours and visitor services have continued to evolve. A management plan serves as the guiding document for a state par...
