Eating well in the Chilkat Valley: Chickens, the gateway animal

They call chickens “the gateway animal” as they are generally the first animal on the homestead — so easy to raise and so useful. 

They are more than happy to recycle your kitchen waste and garden weeds into the highest quality protein, the one by which all other proteins are measured, with about six grams of protein per egg. 

A young hen will start laying by around six months old and will lay well for…

Marjory “June” Miller remembered for keeping family close, staying true to herself

A few years ago, June Miller decided it was time for a change. After 20-plus years of going by “June,” it was time to change back to her given name, Marjory. 

“She never even said why – it was just, all of a sudden, ‘nope, everybody’s going to call me Marjory now, stop calling me June, gotta make a change,’” said daughter Alexis Grant. 

That, along with her purple hair, was one of the latest…

Brittany Boltinhouse Loses Miss North Carolina USA 2026 Crown After Old Posts Resurface: …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The reign of Miss North Carolina USA 2026 Brittany Boltinhouse is over.

In June, she made history as the first married woman and as the first woman of Honduran descent to hold the title.

Now, the Miss USA organization says that she has violated the standards of the pageant organization.

How so? It appears that her social media posts have come back to haunt her.

Boltinhouse has lost her crown

Just ahead of the Miss USA competition, CEO Thom Brodeur put out a release on Wednesday, August 5.

On Instagram, he revealed that Boltinhouse has been stripped of her crown.

No longer Miss North Carolina, she is accused of violating the organization’s standards.

Titles like Miss North Carolina USA, the organization reasons, are not “trinkets.”

Rather, they are investments of trust. Trust which, Brodeur explains, Boltinhouse has broken.

What did Boltinhouse do?

Brodeur’s statement did not explain the specific violations that cost Boltinhouse her crown.

However, the statement stated, very broadly, that the organization “does not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, nor language that strips any person of their dignity.”

That is a very good policy — but does not specify which aspect of that she broke.

With exceptions of figures like Garrett Yrigoyen on The Bachelorette, very few scandals like these involve some sort of Macavity-from-Cats figure who has violated every rule in the book.

Mere weeks ago, however, an explosive report by the NC Beat revealed Boltinhouse’s troubling social media history.

Years of racist posts, it turns out

According to what are now widespread reports, Boltinhouse previously tweeted under an alias, Sosa the Stallion.

From 2017 until 2019, she allegedly repeatedly used the n-word.

On the plus side, she did not appear to be directly attacking individuals with the use of the slur. Her use in the sentences appears to have been for emphasis.

At the same time … the thing about slurs is that their use is almost always an automatic attack against the entire demographic to which they refer. Slurs are not merely rude words, they are loaded with troubling and violent histories.

Though Boltinhouse has also been accused of having been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign, that does not appear to have been a factor.

Who is the new Miss North Carolina USA 2026?

In his statement, Brodeur emphasizes the need for compassion. He received praise for this in the comments.

He acknowledged that Boltinhouse has been “named, examined, and judged in public in a way that most of us would not survive.”

Boltinhouse entered the competition first representing the coastal city of Wilmington.

In her stead, Myla Hadley of the city of Charlotte will instead take on the title of Miss North Carolina USA 2026.

Haldey goes into this with the organization’s “full confidence and our support.”
