Aghost has appeared above the Main Street entrance to the old Gallatin County Jail. The blowup Halloween decoration teases the haunting inside and more ghosts may appear this weekend when the Planet School presents its haunted jailhouse at the Gallatin History Museum.
The haunted jailhouse is open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, Oct. 29-31, with the lights on from 5 to 6:30 p.m. each night and lights off from 7 to 10 p.m. Admission is $12 at bozemanhauntedjail.com and at the door.
“Even with the lights on, the space will still be pretty scary,” according to the ticket page.
To celebrate Halloween, admission is free during the lights-on portion on Monday, and actors will hand out candy to costumed trick-or-treaters.
After expenses, proceeds of the haunted jailhouse will go toward supporting the Planet School, the Gallatin History Museum and a cause to be chosen by the student organizers. The event is also a community introduction of sorts for the Planet School.
“It’s our very first public program,” said founder Thane Richard, a Bozeman High School graduate, during a Monday tour of the space.
Richard went into journalism and managed India-based editions of publications such as the Huffington Post and Business Insider before deciding to follow a different course. He returned to Bozeman to study for a master’s degree in agricultural education at Montana State University and begin planning the Planet School.
The Planet School presents its haunted jailhouse Oct. 29 to 31 at the Gallatin History Museum with the lights on from 5 to 6:30 p.m. each night and lights off from 7 to 10 p.m. Admission is $12 at bozemanhauntedjail.com and at the door.

“Movie: Blazing Saddles”
Mel Brooks’ 1974 Western spoof is one of filmdom’s funniest flicks from one of its funniest directors. Harvey Korman is at his best as corrupt attorney general Hedley Lamarr, who wants to gain control of the soon-to-be-valuable land in the lawless town of Rock Ridge. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn and Brooks himself also star.
“Movie: A River Runs Through It” Robert Redford’s nostalgic 1992 drama is about fly fishing ... in the same way
“Million Dollar Baby” is about boxing. In other words, it’s about much more. Oscarwinning cinematography frames the tale of Norman Maclean’s turbulent relationship with his brother in early 20th-century Montana. Brad Pitt and Craig Sheffer star as the sibling rivals, while Tom Skerritt plays their stern minister father. Brenda Blethyn co-stars.

She’s an interesting person. She’s very protective and loving, she’s trying to make a living with her family on this glamping thing, and she’s working real hard to hold it all together. That’s something totally different than anything I’ve ever played before, and I love the depth of it. I like that she is more three-dimensional. She’s very deep and very friendly, and then she can get very dark. It’s so much fun for me.

Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Ethan Hawke and Anya Taylor-Joy are also in the talented cast.
“Movie: Noah”

Tiffy Chen is all about street food.
For her, the fare to be had from food trucks and street vendors represents simple, affordable dishes at their best, food made from the best ingredients by home cooks who are passionate about what they do. It also serves as the inspiration for the recipes the Vancouverbased content creator and blogger creates for her “Tiffy Cooks” videos on YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest and Instagram.
“It’s like eating your family’s and friends’ best home recipes,” Chen says of street food. “It kind of feels like a little hidden secret even though a lot of these are like super, super popular stalls but it feels like you really found like a gem. They usually do one to two things really, really, really well. Like they do them a lot of times and that’s usually their passion, is that one to two dishes and they really perfect it.”
In her videos, the key is simplicity and accessibility as the Taiwan-born and -raised Chen prepares mainly Asian dishes ranging from Mongolian beef, garlic steak and chicken dumplings to cold sesame noodles, chewy taro balls and green onion pancakes, recipes that she also posts on her blog. And the best part is they can be done with easy-to-find ingredients, a trick she learned at college when authentic ingredients were scarce.
“You can really customize it at home the way you like it and based on your dietary restrictions,” she says. “So I share like tons of gluten-free recipes. ... I can veganize a dish. ... You know, it might not be the most authentic way to make it because you may need certain ingredients but just customizing and having fun with it, I think, that’s really what I believe when it comes to home cooking and cooking in general.”
Chen’s story is pretty extraordinary. Like a lot of people, she started really getting into cooking during the pandemic and made a video for family and friends. The morning after she posted it, she woke up to find it had 200,000 views, which spurred her on to do even more. Soon she had a bonafide following and she consequently quit her corporate job to become a full-time content creator.
Now she makes about three videos a week and wants to help others to follow in her path.
“On my blog, I share not only recipes but I also share a lot of tips and tricks on how to actually become a food blogger,” she says. “I share a lot of behind-thescenes ... I share all my income reports there. I share how I got started and tricks and tips that people can kind of go look at if they’re also interested in getting started.”

It wasn’t made specifically to be shown at Halloween, but director Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 take on the Stephen King best seller “The Shining” certainly has its share of chills to put forth. TNT presents it Sunday, Oct. 30, with Jack Nicholson in one of his most famous roles as creatively stalled writer Jack Torrance, who takes over the upkeep of a snowbound Colorado hotel.
He also takes on a different and terrifying persona as isolation has a pronounced effect on him, to the alarm of his wife (Shelley Duvall) and clairvoyant young son (Danny Lloyd). Veteran talents Barry Nelson, Scatman Crothers and Anne Jackson also are in the cast, but the striking production design (by Roy Walker) that memorably includes a snowy maze is a “star” of the film, too.
“Kolchak: The Night Stalker” (MeTV, Sunday, Oct. 30): After two introductory TV movies, Darren McGavin brought his character Carl Kolchak – a reporter specializing in stories with touches of the supernatural – in the weekly series, featured by MeTV in a mini-marathon of four episodes. In the first, tellingly titled “The Zombie,” Kolchak is among the targets of a deceased man resurrected by his voodoo-practicing grandmother to get even with his enemies. Scatman Crothers and Antonio Fargas are among guest stars.
“Hammer House of Horror” (Decades, Sunday, Oct. 30): Generated by England’s famed Hammer film studio – which was known principally for horror and suspense tales – this anthology series makes up the second half of the weekend’s “Decades Binge.” The marathon starts with “Witching Time,” in which a composer (Jon Finch, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Frenzy”) has plenty of problems including an unfaithful wife (Prunella Gee) and an alleged witch (Patricia Quinn) who claims that she has time-traveled from the 17th century. One of the other tales features “Succession” star Brian Cox.

Imagine humanity establishes a home on a new planet. There is no infrastructure, nothing to shape the new civilization but the people in it. Richard’s idea is to give students this sort of sense of agency in their education.
Richard cites programs like youth legislature in high school, where students take on government roles from congressional pages to the body’s leadership, or semester-at-sea, where students learn how to navigate and sail ships in addition to coursework, as a more concrete basis for the Planet School.
The magic of the semesterat-sea program, Richard said, is in the apprenticeship style. Students learn from people with more expertise, but are eventually trusted to make decisions for themselves. By the end of the program, the adults step back and let the students chart the course.
“What if we did that for agriculture and a greenhouse?” he asked. “What if we did that for construction? What if we had students build a school from scratch and in doing so build a community?”
Enter the Planet School. Students in the first semester session will start with a six-week experience on the water, then arrive at an empty plot and participate in the planning and design of the land-based school from inception. The curriculum will change as the school and its students grow.
“We need to teach pure creativity, the ability for students to see something that doesn’t exist in the world and have the confidence and the ability to bring it out of their brain and into reality,” Richard said.
The haunted jailhouse is a beta test of the idea. A group of 10 high school students, freshmen to seniors, from Belgrade, Bozeman and Gallatin high schools and Bozeman Field School have spent the last six weeks conceptualizing, marketing and creating the haunted house as
an after-school program.
To design their haunted jailhouse, the students came up with a concept, drawing inspiration from the location and aiming for the bar set by Anderson School’s annual scarefest. Jaxson Mallon, a Belgrade High School freshman wrote a script, which has since been
whittled down for time.
“The only thing that’s stayed the same is … prison,” Mallon said.
Joss Burdick, a junior at Bozeman High, has experience in haunted houses. She helped design one as an Anderson School eighth grader. This is different.
“There’s been less help from
parents and stuff,” Burdick said. “It’s just been us, so we get more decision-making options.”
Students were also able to study plans from the series of haunted houses designed by Headwaters Academy Students in the old jail nearly a decade ago, then find their own way forward.
“They’ve had a lot of good ideas,” Rachel Phillips, the Gallatin History Museum’s research director, said of the students. “They’re very enthusiastic and very excited about it and they’ve been working very hard. We’re just sort of taking a back seat and letting them go with their ideas.”
On Tuesday, Phillips was in the museum after hours, helping the students choose costume pieces from a collection in the basement.
Shrieks could be heard as students rounded the corners and ran into one another, the result of weeks of jump scares, ghost stories and spending time in a building that includes a hanging in its history.
“The overall vibe of the museum is scary,” said Ainsley Barton, a sophomore at Bozeman High School who has found that
she is very interested in designing spaces and how people move through and interact with them.
In the last year, Bozeman High School senior Mey Palomino has discovered a love for organizing events. She saw a poster for the after-school program and was “hooked” on the idea of building a haunted house.
“It’s a nice way to give something to the community while contributing to some good causes,” she said.
Palomino has not seen any ghosts in the museum, but she said one of the other students had an encounter in the “Shining” room, a wallpapered space upstairs the students have decorated with ominous phrases like “save me” and “I did it” in glow-in-the-dark paint. Creepy dolls overlook a body on the floor and the students warn not to spend time alone in the room. Ghosts are a possibility — and all the better, according to the students.
“They just add to the spice of the event,” Palomino said.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were one of the surprise stories of the 2021-22 season, making the playoffs for the first time in four years after finishing with a 46-36 record. And now they’re ready to take the next step up to join the Warriors and Suns atop the Western Conference.
Karl-Anthony Towns will undoubtedly be key here. In their seventh year big man and first overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the T’Wolves have an elite talent who can score from the perimeter and make his presence felt in the paint, who will team with newly acquired Rudy Gobert to give them perhaps the most daunting front court in the NBA.
The 6-feet-11-inch Towns’ numbers last year were typically outstanding: a 24.6 points per game average on 52.9 percent shooting from the field, to go with 9.8 rebounds and an impressive 41 percent success rate from three-point range. His selection as an All-Star for the third time in his career was certainly well deserved.
But the big concern is how he will mesh with Gobert. The T’Wolves gave up a king’s
to get the three-time Defensive Player of the Year in what was clearly a win-now move. Most teams these days are going with smaller, quicker lineups, so they’re betting that this so-called “twin towers” experiment will quash those schemes and pay big dividends.
Towns and the Timberwolves can be seen twice this week on national television: on the road against the Phoenix Suns Tuesday, Nov. 1, on TNT; and at home against the Milwaukee Bucks Friday, Nov. 4, on ESPN.
