FEBRUARY 11, 1997 During the February 9th council meeting, a division between the Whitehall Town Council and Whitehall Mayor Dale Davis produced a standoff on the appointment of a town attorney. The council and mayor were unable to agree on a town attorney resulting in a chaotic legal and procedural situation. The meeting adjourned without a consensus on the town attorney position. Davis, in making his nomination to appoint Leonard Haxby, an attorney in Butte who owned property in the Whitehall area, said the mayor had the legal right to make...

The first Wednesday of each month is the meeting day for the Whitehall Garden Club (WGC), held at Borden's Conference room. In the month of January, the WGC committees met, budgets were set, and programs were decided. That information was all brought to the first official in-person meeting of the WGC 2023 and what a great meeting it was with Kathy Ross as the new President! But in true WGC style, the pre-"game" faire was a delicious reason to show up early! Hostesses Kathy Ross and Diane Ward...

On Feb. 9, join Kate Hampton, the director of the MTHS's Montana African American Heritage Resources Project, for a discussion on the history of several Montana laws that affected how Black residents were able to participate in society.

There are 2.5 million children in the United States growing up in “grand families,” meaning they’re being raised by relatives or close friends without their parents in the home, and they face higher rates of hunger and food insecurity, according to a new report. The Generations United report, “Together at the Table: Supporting the Nutrition, Health, and Well-Being of Grandfamilies,” highlights the particular struggles of such households, which are often unprepared financially for the unexpected job of raising a child, and may encounter...

Did you know your heart beats around 100,000 times a day and pumps 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body each day? Your heart truly is the workhorse of your body. The question is: how well do you take care of your heart? A healthy diet and lifestyle are your best weapons to fight cardiovascular disease, according to Nurse Practitioner Becky Wozniak at the SCL Health Medical Group - Heart & Vascular Institute in Butte, Montana. “It’s not as hard as you may think,” said Becky Wozniak, NP. “But it does require you to be intentional so that...
All Montanans have seen the bumper stickers and heard the chatter warning potential newcomers against changing Montana. This proud defense of our state often emanates from folks a lot like me; from hunters, anglers—people who love to hike our mountains and camp in the backcountry. Most of us have been quoting those bumper stickers assuming that any change would probably come from interlopers in rainbow-painted VW vans, or maybe from dangerously liberal urban yuppies with their shiny new electric vehicles and brand-new Montana plates. M...

Some problems are perplexing and complicated, with solutions evading the wisest among us. The need for affordable housing is not one of those issues. The causes and cures are not complicated. They evade us only because somewhere between kindergarten and college graduation, we never learned basic economics. Often, one avoidable and seemingly unrelated problem can inform the solution to another. Take your garbage, for example. It should interest you to know that if you live in Montana, garbage isn’t very affordable – its disposal, that is. Dep...
Is your home inventory up to date for estate planning purposes? “I remember when I made my first list; it seemed to take forever” said Marsha Goetting MSU Extension Family Economics Specialist. “But just in case the rental house burned down, or a tornado struck (living in Kansas at the time) we would have a record of what we owned for insurance purposes.” “Looking back, because we were just starting out the list was short compared to now. Thank goodness making a household inventory for insurance and estate planning purposes today is much easier...
I met one of my closest friends at a magazine I worked for years ago. At the time, she was a stranger who sat across from me in the world's most stupendously boring meeting. I felt her looking at me, and then she rolled her eyes. I smirked. A 30-year friendship was born. Workplace relationships are often overlooked, said Dr. Bob Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an author of the new book "The Good Life," but they are vital. A 2022 report from Gallup showed that...
