Dear Editor, Regarding Terry Minow Big Sky 55’s article on big pharmacy: Corporations do not pay taxes no matter their tax rate. If Zoom, which no one had heard of pre-pandemic had it’s profits grow 600%, they would in theory be taxed at a higher rate. No matter the rate paid, the cost are passed on to paying subscribers. t doesn’t matter if it’s a utility, pharmaceutical provider or a food distributor. If you set your prices to the customer you include your tax costs. If we were to tax drug suppliers at a higher rate we would each see it in t...

Dear Jo, What is it that makes people think going ANYWHERE outside their homes in their pajamas is a good idea? Is it such a hardship to simply put on a pair of pants and a shirt to leave your home? Also, now that the weather is warm, people are going out in skimpy clothing, which is not usually something that bothers me. But, when I (along with everyone else) can see more of them than we need to (ie...hiney parts, chest parts, ect.) it seems like people might want to take more pride in how they appear. Am I old, a prude, or justified in my...

We all have wishes for the future. Saying it best perhaps was the iconic movie character, Doc Brown in Back to the Future, “The future’s unwritten. It’s what we make of it.” The Barna Research group recently reported, “Christianity in the (US) has undergone dramatic change in the last few decades.” They noted that today one in four Americans identifies as a practicing Christian, meaning their faith is very important and that they regularly attend church. The report contrasts findings from their annual 2000 analysis State of the Church, which fo...

Chicken drumsticks or angus beef burgers may be the stars of summertime grilling, but classic side dishes can enhance any meal. Coleslaw completes the deli salads trifecta alongside macaroni salad and potato salad. Coleslaw is often served at summer picnics and barbecues, and it is at home on the side of sandwiches or even on top. Coleslaw can dress up Reubens or even replace sauerkraut on frankfurters. It's convenient to pick up premade coleslaw at the deli counter, but it's also easy to make...

It has been so much fun watching everyone come in to sign up for Summer Reading this week. Registration is open and the programs begin on June 7th. Reading in the summer may have a huge effect on the “summer slide” where children fall behind on the skills they have practiced during the winter months. There are many fascinating studies on the slide, which causes some students to fall behind several months by the fall. The same studies show that those who read during the summer may start their studies months ahead of others. The Library joi...

Even if you haven’t heard the phrase “weight-loss plateau” before, chances are you’ve experienced one. Heck, you may be staring one in the face right now. Basically, after experiencing success, a plateau typically occurs where progress stalls or stops altogether. The most common example is a “weight-loss” plateau, which usually occurs somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 weeks to 6 months after getting your weight-loss party started. However, progress can plateau in virtually any domain of health and fitness (such as muscle and strength ga...
