Dear Montana, November 15th marked the 16th America Recycles Day! More than ever, recycling is something to celebrate all year in Montana. A 2004 study by Montana D.E.Q. found that recycling generated nearly ninety million dollars in revenue, paid over nine million dollars in wages and benefits, and sustained over 300 full‐time jobs. At that time, recycling and composting diverted 176,571 tons of material from landfills or 15 percent of Montana’s waste stream. In line with national trends, that number has continued to grow! Community com...

As we get older, many of us wonder what kind of influence we'll have on generations after us. In the case of John O. Larsen, and Larsen Service Drug, his decision to become a pharmacist and to move to Watford City and open Larsen Service Drug in 1952, would set a course for four future members of his family. His two sons, and two granddaughters would all choose to follow in his footsteps and become pharmacists. John would get to enjoy running the family business with his son, Larry, for many...
(BPT) - If you're confused about health care reform and Medicare, you're not alone. Medicare Part D open enrollment is underway and thousands of Americans are looking for answers. A new survey from Express Scripts titled, "Fifty States of Confusion," confirms that seniors are misinformed about how health care reform will impact their Medicare benefits. "It's worrisome; one-in-five seniors think they'll be able to enroll in a health or prescription drug plan through a public health insurance...
(BPT) - Across America, families will be spending Thanksgiving together, and more than likely, enjoying the same menu items they've enjoyed in years past. Interestingly, more than half of Americans would embrace adding new foods or new preparations to the Thanksgiving table this year, and many think that side dishes provide the perfect opportunity to experiment, according to the findings of a new survey.

So far, he has made a giant star,...
(BPT) - With the 2013-2014 flu season officially here, it's important to consider the single best way to prevent influenza (commonly known as "the flu") - the flu vaccine. What many older adults don't know is that the immune system weakens with age, meaning older adults are at a higher risk for flu and related complications. More than 200,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized each year from flu-related illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adults aged 65 and...
Imagine if tomorrow morning’s headline was this: “Four hundred thousand to get one half billion dollar boost in income.” The underlying news story announces that hundreds of thousands of people here in three states of the Northern Rockies whose good earning jobs are behind them will share $500 million each year for the rest of their lives. One half billion dollars distributed among people in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, particularly the 15% who no longer bring home good salaries, would be one of the greatest bursts of targeted payroll in our h...
