In Montana, a weekend like none other awaits. After purchasing hunting licenses, applying for permits months ago, and laying plans over hot coffee and topography maps, young and old are filled with the anticipation that only comes with the opening day of Montana’s general deer and elk hunting season. Beginning Sat., Oct. 24 and continuing until the Sunday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 29, hunters in Montana will head afield with friends and family in pursuit of tradition as much as deer and elk. “There’s really nothing to compare it to,” said Jeff H...

Randy and Kelly Johnson Nestled among many well-established trees and cascading rock gardens, sits a classic tri-level house that Randy and Kelly Johnson and their two sons are proud to call home.

The Johnsons purchased the house in 1992 and since that time they have done two extensive remodels to the property. The first project was done in 2006 and the second in 2011. Family friend and...
I grew up in a household where my father took the responsibility of volunteer firefighting very seriously. He attended every meeting possible and answered all the fire calls within his power to answer. We lived within blocks of the fire hall and when that siren began to scream, begging the volunteers to make haste to the fire hall, my dad dropped whatever he was doing and tore off on a dead run down the street towards the fire station. Calls more often than not came in during the wee hours of...
Between harvest, the start of school, sports practices, and prepping for another unpredictable Montana winter, you may be feeling the heat of stress setting in. Although stress in life is normal and sometimes even healthy to get your blood pumping, too much stress can do serious damage to your body. The short-term effects include symptoms such as upset stomach, sleep problems, irritability, and overeating, some or all of which you may have experienced. The long-term effects, however, cause much more damage if stress becomes chronic and you don...
As fall quickly approaches, it is important to remember that hydration is a key part of every day, not just hot summer months. The Richland County Nutrition Coalition wants to take a quick look at why water is important and offer tips on how to drink more of it. Without a stable flow of water, the human body is not efficient in the removal of waste and toxins, and is unable to properly lubricate joints. Severe dehydration can cause strain on the heart, causing it to pump faster to get sufficient oxygen to muscles. Water is not only essential...

North Dakota soil was one of the main reasons early settlers were so attracted to this area. Keeping the nutrient levels in your garden at a proper rate can sometimes be a struggle. There is one simple way that this can be done, composting. Most people when they hear the words compost pile, think of the smell that sometimes can come with it. But if the pile is taken care of properly, smell should not be an issue. Composting is the gradual decomposition of organic matter such as, coffee grounds,...

Life changed forever for Ken and Linda Simonsen at 10:30 am on December 21, 2011. As a rancher and farmer in the Girard community, Ken fed his cattle, then came in the house because it was snowing, rather than work on a project in an old barn as he had planned. He said he wasn't feeling well, thinking he had drunk too much coffee. He drank a glass of water, sat down in the living room, and suffered a massive ischemic stroke. Fortunately, Linda recognized the signs immediately. She had witnessed...
Moving to a new location always means leaving family, friends, and neighbors behind. This relocation to a new area severs a support system with one sharp cut. The loss of a familiar trusted network of those you rely on never comes easily, and for our mental health we need to develop a new safety net in the community where we have relocated to. It doesn’t matter whether someone has recently graduated from high school and leaves home for further education, or whether a new job calls a person to try a new adventure in an unfamiliar environment. N...

I really like to eat. I am not fussy, I enjoy a great slice of bread slathered with peanut butter and honey; I also appreciate steaks and chops of all sorts, and of course I delight in my vegetables, salads, fruits, cheeses, wines, hot chocolate, and other assorted tasty food that keeps me well-nourished and content. I often take the food bounty this country enjoys for granted, and rarely take the time to consider how fortunate I am that we do have an abundant food supply. I have all this goodness thanks to agriculture and the efforts of those...
