Child safety advocates at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital are seeing a rise in parents unknowingly purchasing counterfeit car seats online for their children. These seats are almost always purchased online and are enticing because of the steep price discounts compared to major brands. What often confuses parents is that these seats are found on the websites of major national retailers through third-party sellers. “It’s hard to tell a car seat is counterfeit from a small picture online, and many parents think they found a great deal...
More frequent wildfires in the West can turn hiking through beautiful, high- elevation country into a dangerous game for hikers. In July, seven friends from Idaho, Colorado, Washington and Montana took off for a week of backpacking in southwestern Montana. Everything went off without a hitch their first night. A rainstorm passed through but it wasn't a big deal. But when they woke up, they saw a plume of smoke rising into the sky. Darren Wilson had anticipated something like this, even before...
The entire Big Hole River closed to fishing at midnight on August 30 due to low flows, high water temperatures, and an unseasonably warm and dry forecast. Fishing restrictions and closures like these are designed to protect fish that become more susceptible to disease and mortality when conditions such as low flows and high water temperatures combine with other stressors, including catch-and-release fishing. Anglers can reduce stress on fish at all times of the year by quickly getting fish to the net or in hand, keeping them in the water, and...

Many conflicts with wildlife stem from unsecured garbage, food, and other attractants in human-occupied areas. Wildlife commonly travels through urban areas in southwestern Montana. Wildlife, including bears that become conditioned to seeking and obtaining food from humans, quickly lose their wariness of humans and their interest in foraging for natural food items. This happens when they find human sources of food like garbage, bird feeders, pet food, and other attractants stored in unsecured places around homes and neighborhoods. Most...

Although pizza originated in Italy, people from all around the world have made pizza their own by experimenting with different flavor combinations and toppings.

8+ YEARS AGO - August, Part II: The second half of August had a little more joy with the end of the Spanish-American War and Cuba free from the rule of Spain. Randolf Hearst had perfected "yellow journalism" with accounts of the war stating, "You furnish the pictures, and I will furnish the war." Instead of focusing on factual details of what was happening in Cuba, papers were running sensational headlines and shocking details of the battle. But all was not lost to war headlines. Caleb...
