Spring is an inspirational time of year. We set goals, deep clean, and rub the winter hibernation out of our eyes.
We watch trees bud and grass return to its shade of green color.
Along with spring comes the anticipation of favorite green vegetables coming into season.

If television ratings, movies tickets and book sales are any indication, most people enjoy digging into a good murder mystery, following the whodunit and formulating their own theories before the detective eventually nabs the killer.
Fortunately for those who are inclined to a little armchair investigation, the Conrad Mansion Museum will offer a chance to get up off the couch and put those inquisitive skills to work during its 12th annual Death by Chocolate fundraiser.
The fundraiser takes place April 26 and 27 at 7 p.m., and will offer guests wine, hors d’oeuvres, music and two chocolate fountains to enjoy while they work to solve the evening’s murder mystery show.

The Alpine Theatre Project was founded in Whitefish in 2004, and since then its members have played numerous roles, both on and off the stage. But after nearly a decade of scrambling to keep everything running smoothly, the founding members and the board of directors have decided it is time for a change.
That shift, which is termed “ATP 2.0” by the staff, will occur largely behind the scenes at the theater company, impacting the administrative structure and the strategies for public outreach.

The calendar may say spring has arrived, but summer is still months away. Among my favorite things about summer in Montana are those lovely, scrumptious berries called huckleberries!
When it’s time to forage for those sweet berries, I consistently find myself traversing up hillsides I normally wouldn’t be able to climb, ignoring the threat of bears and other wildlife. It’s amazing the lengths we will go to keep our huckleberry spots a secret so we can stockpile jugs full when they are at the peak of ripeness.
I love huckleberries, so I enter baking competitions and, just last year, I took home my first blue ribbon at Huckleberry Days in Whitefish.

| Rheannon is one of two winners in the local Texaco Country Showdown to move onto the state finals. - Lido Vizzutti | Flathead Beacon |
When Rheannon Rusaw walked into Colter Coffee last week, she looked every bit the country star she hopes to be, wearing blue jeans, plenty of silver jewelry, a long braid and a big, friendly smile.
But image isn’t everything in country music, especially in a place like Northwest Montana. To make it here singers must have the musical chops to back up the cowboy hat and boots, and, if the recent Texaco Country Showdown was any indication, Rusaw has plenty of talent to back up her dreams.

In Spain, dinner is typically served much later than here in America, sometimes as late as 9 or 10 at night.
In the hours leading up to their main meal of the evening, many Spaniards take part in the long-standing tradition of tapas.
While tapas are considered a type of cuisine, it is also a style of eating which usually takes place in bars or pubs and is done standing or casually seated.
Small bites of food that accompany your after-work cocktail, tapas cover a wide range of ingredients and preparations with a unique Spanish flare.

There are innumerable tasks and processes that go into successfully creating a feature film, and many take endurance and patience to figure out. For Billy Thompson, a longtime member of the Alpine Theatre Project, finding the location to film his brother’s independent movie was a matter of kismet.
Thompson and his brothers and a cousin will all convene in Whitefish to film “The Thin Line” from April 22 to May 10. The film has been a long time in the making, Thompson said in an interview last week, starting as a screenplay his brother Neil Thompson wrote and shopped around to various companies in California.

My story is not like the stories of most culinary students. I didn’t have a real passion for cooking as I grew up.
I always thought I wanted to be a teacher, so I pursued elementary education and taught Sunday school.
It was not until I was more than halfway finished with my teaching education that I realized it wasn’t for me.
