Even though making sandwiches usually does not involve any cooking, that doesn’t mean layering flavors and selecting quality meats and cheeses involves any less intuition and skill. One of the most popular styles of sandwiches goes by many names, and what you call the sandwich may let others know which part of the country you call home. Each May, people pay homage to the “hoagie,” which is the name that people from Philadelphia and southern New Jersey bestow on a long, cold-cut sandwich. But the...

Instant gratification. It’s the path that most people choose, often without even batting an eye. But most of the time, that choice is the direct enemy of the true path to success and fulfillment: self-discipline. Self-discipline is doing what you know you have to do whether you feel like it or not. It means being aware and in control of your appetite, emotions and inclinations to help you achieve something that may be so far down the line it’s out of sight. It takes self-discipline to… • Start and run a successful business • Move to an unfami...
When I first took over the Whitehall Ledger I thought long and hard on how you could bring creative writing into the newspaper world. There are so many talented writers who live among us, I wanted to provide an outlet to them as well. Well, I think I have found the solution. The Jefferson Valley Museum has dozens and dozens of photographs from centuries long past. These photos have been researched, but no one has been successful in identifying the people in them or the scene they depict. Why not take these photos and write what we think is...
It was a load crash. Only a few people had heard it at the time because, well, there were not a lot of people around. Old Jimmy Hennson and his two sons rushed out of their little farmhouse across the tracks. Mrs. Van Oswald, the widow, came out of her small cabin near the tree grove with her four boys. And there was us: my father, my mother, my five siblings, and me. Penelope Grange. We had the field on the other side of old Jimmy Hennson and between us now was a small crash of wood metal and...
This year has been one like no other. It has been exhausting. There have been long work hours filled with stressful experiences. It has been difficult to maintain healthy habits. Getting enough rest has been especially challenging. Last week I took some much-needed time away from work. I had planned to stay home, go nowhere, see no one and knock out some long overdue projects. This is how the introverted side of me rejuvenates. Plans change and mine did. My mother wanted to visit her sister in...

Most of us remember a time or two when our behavior was haughty and arrogant. Today’s meditation takes aim at the condition of being proud that usually causes such behavior. Again, I’m focusing on Jesus’s parable contrasting the Pharisee and the Tax Collector praying in the temple. “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves...
Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) Director Adam Meier announced the agency is seeking public comment on its federal application to expand mental health and substance use treatment services through the Healing and Ending Addiction through Recovery and Treatment (HEART) Initiative. Governor Greg Gianforte recently signed the HEART Initiative into law through HB 701 that was sponsored by Rep. Mike Hopkins of Missoula. Now, DPHHS must begin the federally-required process of submitting a Medicaid Section 1115 waiver application...

The following is taken as written in early July editions of the Whitehall Zephy, 1895. The accompanying ads appeared in the July 12, 1895 edition, and yes, the one ad was printed upside down. We were pleased to meet Mr. John H. Weingard, of Silver Star, in the Zephyr office Thursday. Mr. Weingard will go to Warm Springs soon, to see the unfortunate young man Eberhardt (from an earlier article, he was on the roof of a local church ringing the bell and shouting for people to gather). Mr. W. L. Wilkins of Butte, Mrs. C. J. Eckstorm’s father, is ma...
Three Whitehall players – Dallice Smith, Hannah Warfield and Amber O’Donnell – proved Monday that their selection to the league All Star team was well deserved. The three were selected from the Whitehall Red Socks team to play on the Longfellow Major Girls All Stars team. In post season play July 8, Amber O’Donnell helped set the pace as the Longfellow All Stars routed the Dillon All Stars, 24-7. O’Donnell got her team off to a great start with a first inning homer which brought Warfield in from second base. In the course of the game, Smi...
Take a picnic and hike to the top of a buffalo jump for impressive views of the Madison River Valley. Situated on the edge of a broad valley carved by the Madison River, this high limestone cliff was used by Native Americans for 2,000 years - ending as recently as 200 years ago. Native people stampeded vast herds of bison off this massive semicircular cliff, using them for food, clothing, shelter and provisions. "Runners," highly skilled young men trained for speed and endurance, wore buffalo,...
Wildlife officials shot and killed a grizzly bear early Friday morning less than two miles from Ovando, where a woman was killed in a grizzly bear attack early Tuesday morning. The bear was killed at the scene of a second chicken coop raid that was very similar in nature to the one that happened in Ovando the night of the fatal attack. Given the proximity to Tuesday’s attack, the evidence found at the scenes and the fact another chicken coop was raided, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials believe this is the same bear but confirming DNA a...
