Daylight saving time began March 10, and the American Red Cross encourages everyone to test their smoke alarms as they turn their clocks forward to ensure the devices are working. "Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half as you only have about two minutes to get out," said Scott O'Connell, regional disaster officer for the Red Cross of Montana.

The grey wolf in the metal crate tenses as the door unexpectedly opens. Through the bright threshold, he sees a field of winter grasses laced with snow and a line of juniper trees....
