Granted, it's cold outside, requiring extra layers of well-insulated clothing. But, Montana is a winter paradise with wide-open spaces surrounded by towering mountains. There's wildlife all around and, frankly, the snow makes them easier to spot. Another bonus, the crowds are gone; even the state's ski resorts aren't busy. So, forget about cabin fever, catching up on chores, or knitting scarves for everyone you know. Get out and take in the sights, discover dinosaurs in Bozeman, a snow coach...

The Department of Veterans Affairs is raising awareness of little-used benefits for veterans: burial at a VA, state or tribal veterans cemetery, and headstones or markers for veterans buried in private cemeteries. According to VA officials, just 20% of eligible veterans who died last year were buried in a VA-managed or -supported cemetery, a benefit that comes at no cost to the veteran’s family. And fewer than half who qualified for a burial allowance or headstone used the opportunity, according to Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Matt Q...

The Whitehall Trojan men and women teams took on the Three Forks Wolves on Thursday, January 26 on their home court. The Lady Trojans lost 38-44. The Ladies were led in scoring by junior Lauren Cima with 17 and senior Maxine Hoagland with 15. "This was a hard-fought game. It came down to getting a basket and a stop at the end and we were not able to do either," Coach Kelly Nieskens said. When we watch the film, we see what we need to fix, and it's all fixable. This is a hardworking group of...
"Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!" is a famous line turned into a cliché from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz used to express fear. In the 2020s, the fear of "Lions and Tigers and Bears" has been replaced with the fear of "climate change and anti-vaxxers and Article V of the US Constitution," which are strange bedfellows indeed. Oh my! There has been the same banter going on back and forth around a resolution that has been trying to get passed through our legislature since 2015 to add Montana...
Montana’s 68th legislature is in session and is considering over 1300 bills to date. Most of us will only take note of a few high-profile bills that will have a direct and immediate impact on our lives. For example, tax relief bills, a couple of which will pass with little opposition. However, there is one bill if passed that could have significant, adverse, and long-term consequences for our state and country. This bill is flying under the radar with little or no attention. I’m referring to Senate Joint Resolution 2, (SJ 2). SJ 2 aims to inv...
The 2023 legislative session has begun. The House of Representatives is off to a productive start for the people of Montana. Many of the bills heard thus far are part of Governor Gianforte’s “Red Tape Relief Initiative” to delete laws no longer used and also to streamline how business is accomplished within state agencies. Legislative committees have had hearings on important bills. The first one was HR-1. This defined how we as legislators conduct the business of the House for the people of Mo...
Due to previous health issues, doctors informed Liam and Samara Doran that the chances of conceiving were very unlikely. However, on September 2, 2022, the couple found out they were expecting a miracle baby! All was going well until January 19, 2023, when the couple went in for a 24-week ultrasound and were faced with some devastating news regarding the health of their baby girl and life-threatening pregnancy complications. On Friday, February 3, 2023, Samara will be admitted to RMH or the...
For today's exercise, we're going to get vulnerable and tell an important person in our lives how we feel about them. "Think about what they have done for you in your life," said Dr. Bob Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the author of the new book "The Good Life." "Where, or who, would you be without them?" Happiness Challenge Day 4: Thank someone special Consider what you would thank this person for if you thought you would never see them again. Take a few...
Due to the fact that chicken prices are increasing, we needed to find an alternative meat. A wonderful reader emailed me about this problem. Dizzy Izzy lives off the coast of the Pacific Ocean. She recently noticed an increase of the nuisance Blue-footed Booby. The birds flood the coast and poop and make noise 24/7. Due to the fact they only lay one egg at a time, they are not a substitute for egg laying chickens. Izzy explained she didn't start out to kill the booby, but wanted to chase them away. At first she used a paintball gun. It worked f...
Christian organizations and city government, both businesses that I know best, strengthen their purpose by reviewing, and at times rewriting, their mission statement. From this then flows, among other things, planning, then long-term goals and disbursements. At times entities can get off mission. It might seem an oversimplification, but drawing back to the Bible, and Christ’s very simplicity has helped the church not just a few times. I’m a strong proponent of Biblical values and find that the Epistle of Hebrews makes a firm case for per...
ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it’s important to focus on progress and not necessarily on money that can be made. See what you can learn along the path you choose. TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 You have high hopes that your efforts will be well received this week, Taurus. Before you move full speed ahead, run your ideas by a trusted group of confidantes. GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 You don’t learn by getting things right all of the time, Gemini. A few mistakes along the way provide an opportunity to grow and figure out new ways to do the job.
