Grumpy Old Man... One could just imagine the comments like these that were very likely voiced, quietly of course, after his fellow tourists passed by. You almost couldn't blame them because the sour look Life had plastered on old Jonathan Kemp's face could almost have curdled milk. Jonathan made his mark in this world in the late Spring of 1823. This may be his photograph, taken in the early summer of 1920; therefore, he had just passed the 97th year marker of his sojourn in this cold, cruel...

While the name Debbie Holwegner may not sound familiar, her daughter and grandson's voices might. Jessica Jane Hegg and her son Jaxon frequently perform at Whitehall's Beats & Eats events. At one point you may have had their duet, Fishin' for Chickens, stuck in your head. Now, this mother of two is working to accomplish a miracle by donating two-thirds of her liver to her mother, Debbie Holwegner - a grandmother you might find it in your heart to support. Debbie, of Manhattan, MT, was diagnosed...
In August 1896, a heatwave was making the nation swelter; Texas was scorching hot with temperatures of 107 to 112 reported. Hundreds of deaths were reported in New York City; Chicago reported 577 deaths in one week and deaths of animals in the city were much higher than humans. Deaths were also reported in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Peoria. In Canada, American money was not welcome. Canadian banks were warning merchants, farmers, and the general public to not accept American money....
August 6, 1997 The Whitehall Farmers’ Market was set to become a reality in the summer of 1997, reported Dr. Kathy Meyer, who helped spearhead the proposal. A series of technical difficulties and logistical problems made it nearly impossible to find a proper location or suitable dates at other possible sites. The Farmers’ Market idea grew from the Whitehall Vision 2010 project, which identified goals and objectives for Whitehall. The project was sponsored by the Whitehall Business Association. Myrtle Sankey, who would turn 84 years old in Oct...
Rotary Club President Wayne Peterson presented Pastor Bill Lanes with the latest Wheelchair Award for the Assembly of God Church. This is in appreciation for the use of their fellowship area during the Vitalent blood drives. The Rotary Club began the award program about 18 years ago to recognize individuals, groups, or businesses who voluntarily provide service to our community and valley. The money to fund the $150.00 donation to the Wheelchair Foundation in honor of the recipient is made...
When you have been a librarian as long as I have, it is always a pleasure to attend a well-organized, well-planned conference. This past week I was at the Montana Library Association, Mountain Plains Library Association, and Pacific Library Association tri-conference. I was able to attend technology sessions, a session on human trafficking and how Libraries can help, transforming teen services, libraries, social work, children and youth programming, and more. There were two highlights to this...
Rural school officials can apply for funds to purchase classroom sets of Montana: A History of Our Home, the new fourth-grade student textbook published by the Montana Historical Society. The 96-page textbook offers a quick tour through 13,000 years of Montana history. Students will learn about Montana’s 12 tribal nations and seven reservations; the immigrants who moved to Montana in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the trapping, mining, logging, farming, and ranching industries that drew them to the Treasure State. The book also i...
Every year as summer approaches, Whitehall starts looking forward to Midway Colony’s stand at the Farmers Market, with the experience that the assorted produce, eggs, and fryers will be fresh, and the canned goods a treat. Knowing that Don and Ted Wipf drive 240 miles from Conrad to bring their goods to Whitehall, only adds to the community’s appreciation. Everything is seasonal. Throughout the summer shoppers can expect cucumbers, carrots, radishes, beets, onions, garlic, kohlrabi, peas, sna...
The historic Northern Hotel in downtown Billings, Montana, will serve as the backdrop for the first Greater Northwest Passenger Rail Summit on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 22-23. Passenger rail advocacy organizations from across the Northwest will join federal, state, local, and tribal officials, representatives of host railroads, and rail infrastructure experts to educate, innovate and coordinate for the restoration, expansion, and enhancement of passenger rail service. The passage in late 2021 of the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs...
Did you know about 62 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood? But, only about 3 percent does. By making an appointment to help save lives with the American Red Cross in August, donors can pump up the blood supply and keep it from falling to shortage levels. As a thank-you, all who come to give Aug. 1-31 will be automatically entered for a chance to win gas for a year, a $6,000 value. There will be three lucky winners. Everyone who comes to give blood in August will also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.* Donor...
This is the best way to get rid of cicadas, you know, those bugs that sound like your wife. They never shut up. However, unlike her, they only come out every 13-17 years! Cicadas are very difficult to attract. You need salt, sugar, two shot glasses, tequila, and lime juice. Wet the salt so you can roll it into a ball then coat the ball with sugar. Place the ball by a stream with a shot glass of lime juice. The cicadas will lick the sugar off, then get to the salt and want to get a drink. They will drink the lime juice (make sure that glass is...
Her parents might have had an inkling, but when little Destiny Phantasia Fairchild first appeared on the scene in September of 1871, she looked like a fairly normal newborn baby. Douglas and Antonia Fairchild obviously knew something, blessing her with such an ostentatious name. In that day and age especially, what with the fledgling nation still reeling from its first civil conflict, people were ready to grasp the slightest little ray of hope. It didn't take long, then, when she emerged on the...

Dip is the only food named after the action required to eat it. Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting. It sucks that one mistake can undo all the good that you’ve ever done, but that one good thing cannot undo the mistakes you’ve made. You can’t get nudes of Spiderman, only Peter Parker. A luxury car is a display of either how responsible or irresponsible a person is with money. Funerals aren’t for the dead; they’re for the living. Veterinarian nurses have likely seen more men crying than psy...
This year Lewis & Clark State Parks said farewell to the longtime leader and Park Manager, Rhea Armstrong, who is off to new adventures! The Park is so thankful for everything Rhea did during her 36 years here! During her time as manager, she expanded cave accessibility by offering Paradise Tours daily, fundraised and planned for the fantastic shade shelter, and coordinated the replacement of aging park infrastructure (roofs, buildings, sewers, etc.) She also expanded the Gift Corral to have a...

A day trip to Historic Butte is like a step back in time to the city that was once the largest west of the Mississippi, known as the beating heart of the American West. While presently a thriving city in its own right, the past is still evident, a great way to acknowledge Butte's importance. It's one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the U.S. with more than 6,000 cultural sites, including historic structures, stately mansions, beautifully preserved Victorian buildings, and m...
The Whitehall Community Library had a special visitor for Storytime last week when Jaret Streib, Prevention Specialist for Jefferson County, came to share apples, stories, and crafts with our preschoolers. He had a great time, and the children gave him a big hand at the end. It is so important that young children see men reading and enjoying books as well as women. Now that our Summer Reading and Feeding programs have ended, we are turning our attention to some great new programs this fall. One...
