While investing in your health and wellness can sound like an overwhelming goal, doctors say that there are easy, tangible resolutions you can make to feel your best and better protect your health. “A new year is the perfect time to consider your personal goals, and how you can make positive health choices in the coming year,” says American Medical Association (AMA) President Gerald E. Harmon, M.D. “Small lifestyle changes today can have a lasting effect in improving your health.” Not sure where to start? Consider these resolutions from th...
March 28, 1891 Part II My dearest Marie, Oh, how I miss you and Davey! The nights are the hardest for me to be away from you as I think of you constantly, so I decided to write you another letter with more news about Dave Wilson from my visit to the saloon a few days ago. As "luck" would have it, the guy that took $1.00 from me in poker (don't worry – I stopped at that point) was Jim Lowery, the owner of Lowery Boarding House across the street. I found this out after he offered to buy me a d...

Families and friends will soon be gathering to cheer on their favorite teams in the season's pinnacle match-ups. To ensure guests have enough energy to ride out the drama, hosts should provide plenty of food. Finger foods are preferential on game days because they are easy to grab and eat by hand, especially when clamoring for space in a crowd. Sliders or cheese sticks are go-to options, but for a more gourmet offering, think about crab cakes. These Best Crab Cakes Ever, as they are billed in BB...

As holiday celebrations continue, concern is rising for the nation’s blood supply, which has now dipped to concerning levels and could force hospitals to hold off on essential blood transfusions for patients. Historically low blood supply levels not seen in more than a decade persist for the American Red Cross, which supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood. The ongoing decline comes at a time of year when donations typically fall. Holiday get-togethers, school breaks and winter weather often lead to lower donor turnout, potentially fur...
The deadline for public comment on the 2022/2023 hunting regulation proposals has been extended from Jan. 14 to Jan. 21. Those interested can view the proposals and provide comment online at fwp.mt.gov/regproposals. Comments also can be submitted by email to fwpwld@mt.gov. This is a second opportunity for the public to provide input on 2022/2023 draft hunting regulation proposals. Earlier this fall, Fish, Wildlife & Parks biologists offered science-based regulations proposals that combine some hunting districts, reduce some license and permit...
This week's featured State Park is Tower Rock State Park, a 424-foot high rock formation that marks the Missouri River Canyon entrance in the Adel Mountains Volcanic Field. Native American tribes once used this day-use-only park to mark the entrance to and exit of the buffalo hunting grounds in north-central Montana. Besides the Native Americans, Tower Rock was also claimed by the UK, Spain, and France before becoming part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1802. Lots of development threatened to dest...
It’s that time of year when ice anglers and other recreationists head out to Montana’s “hard” waters for the winter season. Whether ice fishing, ice skating, hunting, snowmobiling or just taking a walk, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks staff reminds recreationists that safety should be the number one concern during a day out on (or near) the ice. And when on the ice, remember: • Anglers and other recreationists should be familiar with the water body they plan to fish or recreate on. Pay close attention to the changing conditions of the ice. • If...
A Deer Lodge man pleaded guilty this month to several charges after illegally killing a bighorn sheep in the Highland Mountains. Harold Horine, 45, shot a bighorn sheep ram on Nov. 22 without a license. He did not report the kill to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, and he left the meat to waste. A witness who observed the violation contacted FWP after finding the dead sheep abandoned. Game wardens interviewed Horne, who said he mistook the sheep for an elk. Horine pleaded guilty in Madison County Justice Court on Dec. 7 to hunting without a...
Wolf trapping is now open in all Montana Wolf Management Units. After monitoring grizzly bear activity across much of the state, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks biologists have determined the potential risk for trapping conflicts in grizzly bear areas is low. FWP biologists have been monitoring grizzly bear activity with a variety of methods since early November. This includes monitoring collared grizzly bears, sightings of bears in the field, weather assessments and reports from the public. The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted...
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission approved two rule changes on Monday concerning recreational and commercial use on the Madison River. In addition, commissioners approved an adjustment to brown trout regulations on a section the Big Hole River. In a relatively short meeting, the commission dealt with two recommendations from the current Madison River Work Group, which has met several times during the past six months. The work group recommended administrative rule changes that would keep the walk/wade sections in place, as they have been...

December 1921 Part 2 The years 1895 and 1921 are about over. In 1895, our town was still pushing past its infant stage of development. In 1921, we were feeling the growing pains of expansion and modernization. The accompanying photo from an 1895 ad for a local business has prices that sure would be nice to see today, provided these are the items on your Christmas shopping list. Late December 1895: ZEPHYRETTES. Harry Miller says that indisposition sits no longer on his frame; that it threw him,...
Christmas time, with all the chimes, How beautiful the sound: God bless you! God bless you too! Can be heard the world round. So many places, with heartfelt faces, Children filled with glee! Carols sung with many a tongue, as lights twinkle on the tree. Cookie baking, candy making, aromas fill the air. Card exchanging, flower arranging, with expertise and care. Old friends meeting, strangers greeting each other as they pass by: Memories reliven, old hurts forgiven, as Christmas day draws nigh. The hungry fed, the homeless bed, as we strive for...
What a great day to wake up to a winter wonderland! I usually write my column on Mondays, in case any of our programming changes, so imagine my surprise at seeing actual snow on the ground! It reminded me that the library will be closed this Friday and Saturday for Christmas and next Friday and Saturday for the New Year holiday. We will be emptying the book drop during the weekend, so feel free to return materials. We still have a few coats and socks left from the Winter Wear Giveaway. If you or someone else in your family needs winter wear, st...
DECEMBER 26, 1996 More than two dozen Whitehall area residents joined their voices in song December 15 at the community Christmas Cantata, “Christmas is Love.” Under the direction of Norm Tebay and accompanied by Mary Brazill, the cantata benefitted the Whitehall library. Soloists were Judy Cox, Cori Choquette, Michelle Tebay, Amy Weldon and Nichole Howard. For most people, the holidays are a special time to give, but for many the giving ends with the ringing in of the new year. One group of Whitehall residents, though, extend their giving yea...
At 102 (103 February next) Granny Hotchkins, as everyone back home called her, not only looked really good for her exalted age; she was also, without doubt, the oldest person to ever dare The Falls in a barrel! Coming from the small mid-west township of Ludlow, Iowa, just five miles from neighboring Waukon, Granny was fairly famous in her little hometown for her herbal remedies and botanical medicines. In 1872, less than a decade after Lee officially surrendered to future president Ulysses...

It is hard to determine who created the brownie, but dessert devotees no doubt appreciate that individual's now beloved creation. Brownies are one of North America's favorite baked treats. They actually are classified as a bar cookie rather than a cake, and the dessert earned its name from the deep, brown color of its main ingredient. There have been many variations on the brownie through the years, and the lively debate whether crunchy end pieces or chewy middle slices are preferred continues....
