When cooking during this time of year, whether it's a family meal or a romantic dinner for two, foods that take the cold weather into consideration are the best bets. Cottage pie is a meal traditionally served in areas of Great Britain and Ireland. The name is sometimes used interchangeably with shepherd's pie, but that's a mistake. While shepherd's pie uses lamb in the recipe, cottage pie contains beef....
One might say she was born to it; It was in her blood! Carolina Mae Duggard was born January 16, 1919, in Harlan County, Kentucky, a region of the eastern United States called Appalachia. Her parents, Jim Bob and Lucy, ran the family business, which could be very lucrative but also very dangerous! In fact, it became so dangerous that Jim Bob decided to relocate his little family to a climate that promised to be even more lucrative and hopefully less dangerous. Unfortunately for him though, whoever sold him on the idea neglected to warn him...

The New Year represents a fresh start and is the perfect time to invest in your health. However, you may be unsure what resolutions will have the biggest impact. Doctors say that the easy, tangible actions you take are some of the most important. “Many people kick off the start of each new year with big-picture health resolutions,” says Jack Resneck, Jr., M.D., president of the American Medical Association (AMA). “The good news is that small, positive health choices made right now can have long-lasting effects.” Want to get started today?...
The common cold is synonymous with times of the year when temperatures dip. When people spend more time indoors, they’re more vulnerable to contagious cold viruses. But the common cold is not the only health issue that presents itself most often when mercury drops. Seasonal affective disorder, also known as “SAD,” affects millions of people every year. The National Institute of Mental Health notes that SAD is a type of depression characterized by its recurrent seasonal pattern. Symptoms of SAD, which can include nearly daily and day-long feeli...
Cervical cancer was once a leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. Today, screening and prevention have greatly reduced the impact of this form of cancer. Still, nearly 14,500 women in the United States received a diagnosis of cervical cancer and more than 4,200 died from the disease last year, according to the National Cancer Institute. Increasing screening and prevention are key components of the effort to eradicate cervical cancer. Since almost all cases of the disease are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV)...
Montana VA Health Care System (Montana VA) encourages all Montanans and non-Veterans to consider Veterans and the impacts of fireworks on people with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) before they light a firework. Many people are not aware that a New Year’s celebration could affect others, and a conversation is the simplest way to start that awareness and support people with PTSD. “Any celebration that includes fireworks can create be a difficult time for our nation’s heroes because fireworks create sights, sounds, and smells that can a...

I was inspired to write this article about an animal that reminds me so much of my wife. You know, very cute and cuddly, but when you try to pet it your head might get ripped off. One of the most dangerous small animals in Montana is the badger. Badgers are very hard to find, on top of how dangerous they are to capture. I try to never hunt them at night because they look so much like a skunk under the moonlight. The one time I did hunt at night, I caught a skunk and did not realize it until I got home. I was sick that week with a head cold. I...
Roberta Henson never won a beauty contest, but to certain people, the ones whose opinion truly mattered to her, Bertie was a veritable angel from heaven! Our homely heroine entered this realm in the usual way on the 6th of April, 1909. She was born in the newly-built City Hospital across the river in Missouri. While she was technically a Missourian by birth, Bertie would always and forever claim her Kansan roots. Growing up on the river, over in Kansas, she was used to hearing the steamboats as...
