Perhaps one of the most personal decisions you can make every day is deciding what to eat. But what happens when multinational corporations in the agricultural industry take that power away from the individual by using their size, wealth and power to determine the price and selection on our grocery shelves? For these conglomerates to influence what we consume, they first need to control the people who produce our food. That is where the corporations’ real power lies: dominating what is grown, how it’s produced and, most critically, how the...

"C'mon, Princess; give us a smile!" Try as he might, young James Francis Ramsey, of the newly formed Cabinet Card Photographers, could only coax a ghost of a smile out of an even younger Barbara Stanwick, formerly of La Crosse, a mere 63 miles away. The reason that our poor little princess couldn't bring herself to smile: she was recently orphaned. Young Barbara and her parents, Ted and Viola Stanwick, had been looking forward to this long day-trip for almost a year now, ever since young James...

The National Center for Appropriate Technology will bring back its popular electronics recycling event Tuesday, August 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its Butte headquarters. For more than a decade, NCAT has offered Butte and the surrounding area a chance once a year to get rid of the electronics gathering dust in basements and garages without dumping them in the landfill. But the Covid-19 pandemic forced the nonprofit to cancel the event in 2020. “Electronics can contain hazardous materials,” said NCAT Information Technology Director Mary Ann...

Most people “know” what it means to eat healthy (at least in a general sense). Most people “know” that the majority of processed, packaged, fast foods are not as healthy as vegetables and fruits. Most people “know” that sugar-sweetened beverages (i.e., sodas) are not as healthy as water. Most people “know” that stuffing themselves with typical restaurant-style meals and desserts is not as healthy as eating home-cooked meals made with fresh ingredients until they’re just satisfied. Simply put, eating healthier isn’t really about a lack of inf...
Adversity is an unavoidable part of life. Death of a loved one, breakup of a relationship, malicious action by another, job loss, natural disaster, or any other undesirable event are all circumstances people encounter. Events happen that are beyond our control. Successfully overcoming adversity is essential for a healthy life. Overcoming adversity builds mental strength, character and endurance. You develop in ways that would not otherwise be possible. When undesirable incidents occur, you want to avoid the pitfall of the past and becoming mire...
If you are hiding from the heat, stop by the Library and grab a sack of books from the book sale. This is the time when staff weeds the collection to make room for new books, so there are lots of new things to choose from. If you are weeding your own collection, remember that the Library takes donations of all types (just no VHS tapes or cassettes). The money from the book sale goes to the Friends so they may support the many projects and programs which happen at the Library during the year....
The following is as written in August 1895 editions of the Whitehall Zephyr. The accompanying photo is of an advertisement from one of those issues. Dance at Silver Star. Those who attended say that one of the most enjoyable occasions of the kind ever experienced in the Jefferson valley was the dance at that place last Friday. It was given under the management of J. O. Jordan and George Bonnowitz, and Miss Kate Dulea of Silver Star and Mr. Goodiel of this place furnished the music; T. D. Hind,...
If six-year-old Rosie Twomey of Whitehall had any qualms about singing in front of a large crowd of strangers, it didn’t show. Without a sign of nervousness, and with no instrumental accompaniment, she raised the microphone and quieted the crowd with a rendition of “Sweet Molly Malone.” In addition to sweet Rosie Twomey, the crowd heard mellow renditions of Garth Brooks songs from Curt Oliverson, rock music from David Doniza, inspirational singing from 8 ½ year-old Natasha Clements, and a duet on sisterhood from Marie Madsen and Rosalie Lofftu...
From a distance, these two little girls look like sisters. In reality, April and June were the best of friends. Born to well-off families, April and June lived right next to one another. They grew up playing together on the front lawn, walking with their mothers in the park, and going to the circus to see the incredible animals. Today their mothers could not wait any longer. Each girl was dressed in her finest clothes with hair all done up. The two met outside, ready to play, but April and June...
Trusts gained more attention during the COVID-19 pandemic as a tool to manage financial affairs, according to Montana State University Extension educators. But a trust may not be the right choice for everyone. Individuals should learn the pros and cons of the distinct types of trusts available, said Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension family economics specialist. In Montana, the person who provides property and creates a trust is a “settlor,” also referred to as a grantor, donor, or trustor. The trustee is the individual, institution or org...
During an emergency, every minute is critical, especially for those who are living in rural areas of southwest Montana. That is why having Emergency Medical Services (EMS) available to reach even the most remote members of our community is so important. Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Montana Healthcare Foundation, the City of Boulder and St. James Healthcare will conduct an Emergency Medical Response Feasibility and Planning Study to find out where care is needed and ensure everyone in the county has EMS coverage. St. James Healthcare will...
The American Red Cross has an emergency need for lifesaving blood amid the ongoing severe blood shortage. Blood donations continue to be critical to meet hospital demand and the public is urged to make an appointment to give now. The Red Cross has been distributing about 12 percent more blood products to hospitals across the U.S. compared to this time last year. The Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional blood donations each day to meet the current hospital demand and end the severe blood shortage. Donors of all blood types are...

I used to dismiss as a peculiar form of psychosis, the desire of some troubled souls to silence and censor the right of others to speak and think freely. After all, the impulse to gag the mouth and shut the mind of another individual is hardly what we would call “normal.” Compelling others to conform to our views isn’t very normal either. Doing such things never enters the minds of healthy, rational people. It’s creepy. Rational people understand that living in a free society presupposes putting the rights of others ahead of our own, and tha...
