To prepare for an ever-changing financial future, Montana State University Extension educators suggest couples should designate a “contingency day” to review finances and re-examine their financial lives. “The same suggestion applies for a single individual,” added Kaleena Miller, Madison-Jefferson County Extension Agent. Marsha Goetting, MSU Extension Family Economics Specialist, suggests that the contingency day take place once a year – perhaps on an anniversary, birthday or another easy-to-remember date – to help plan for your financial f...

Busy families who do not have the time to spend an hour or more in the kitchen preparing weeknight dinners can turn to slow cookers to do the work for them. Slow cookers cook foods on a low temperature over several hours. Slow cookers do not require constant attention, making them ideal for people who want to prep meals before leaving the house and then return to a hot meal in the evening. Many foods, from breakfasts to appetizers to desserts, can be prepared with slow cookers. But slow cookers...
Mr. Hyram P. Winkler, Finnie to those who knew and loved him, was a young lad of 16 years when he left his family's wheat fields in Dorchester to labor full-time at the relatively new Waukon Iron Company, which had opened an open-pit mine and ore-washing plant in neighboring Waukon, a mere 17 miles away. The photo pictured here was taken in 1892, several years after Finnie had begun work at the Iron Company. After a bit over a year of dirty work in the pit, Mr. Winkler, through much blood,...

At a White House Press Briefing this week, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and director of the National Economic Council Brian Deese discussed the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to strengthening enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act and creating a more resilient food supply chain. This announcement comes as “Gross profits for some of the leading beef, poultry, and pork processors are at their highest levels in history, while American producers lose money on their products and consumers face lofty food prices in gro...
The Apprentice Hunter Program allows anyone 10 or older to hunt for up to two years without completing a hunter education course. Certain restrictions apply, and anyone certified as an Apprentice must be accompanied by a certified Mentor. The program was enacted by the 2015 state Legislature, and it originally created the opportunity for youth 10-17 years of age to hunt without completing hunter education. The 2017 Legislature amended the law to increase the age limit to anyone 10 or older and prohibited an apprentice hunter from obtaining a...

Come meet some new friends before heading over to the Star Theatre for a fun movie. I’ve been trying to base our Ladies Day Out movies around female centric movies (Cruella, Black Widow) but sometimes eye candy (Ryan Reynolds) is nice too! And he’s funny! What’s better than that? Also, I’m a fan of Jodie Comer (have you seen Killing Eve????) We’ll start a little earlier than usual, as I’ve had some feedback that they get-together time is too short before the movie starts at 2pm. As always, drinks and goodies will be provided by the Ledger. Sto...
The following is as written in the September 6 and 13 editions of the 1895 Whitehall Zephyr. The paper contained local as well as news from other parts of the US and from the world. The Zephyr would suggest that when it is desirable to break a drought in the Jefferson Valley the manager of the Twin Bridges fair set their dates for that time. It has been proved beyond all doubt that persistent bicycle riding results in enlargement of the heart. What a pity Grover Cleveland, John Sherman et al...

SEPTEMBER 12, 1996 Students returning to Tia Kober Elementary and Whitehall Middle School this fall were greeted by grass, flowers, trees and other landscaping thanks to the hard work of the BY’s 4-H Club. Club leader Charlene Dillon said about 18 young people spent four days leveling the ground, putting in sod, installing railroad landscaping ties, and planting the area near the entrances to the schools. Teachers in the grade school had been working for several years to raise money and gather workers to create a living memorial to former e...
Little Chelsea loved everything about Easter, but her favorite part was bunnies! Those soft, cuddly little creatures that wiggled their cute little button noses most curiously, had enamored this little one since before she could rightly remember. A growing girl of six, Chelsea was looking forward to this year's celebration, because Mum & Dad had made her a promise; she should have her very own little furry bundle of joy this Easter. Born in 1893, Chelsea was born to Douglas & Marianne McGowan,...
As the weather cools, hearty meals often take center stage. Home cooks may have plenty of go-to recipes to feed their families and guests. But expanding your culinary horizons can lead to some new family favorites. Sausage and pepper dishes exist in many different cultures, and can be found everywhere from fairs to family kitchens. This version of “Sausages and Peppers Country Style” from Nick Stellino’s Family Kitchen (G.P. Putnam’s Sons) gives an Italian spin that’s perfect for family st...

An important deadline approaches for Montanans fighting to stop the American Prairie Reserve from decimating the agricultural economy of Eastern Montana. The Bureau of Land Management will take public comment until September 28 on APR’s proposal to “rewild” their federal grazing allotments by removing them from agricultural production. The stakes of this proposal are high due to the precedent it would set. Specifically APR has proposed to change seven federal grazing allotments, totaling 57,000 acres of public land, from cattle grazing to op...
