State and local public health officials are reminding Montanans to take steps to avoid mosquito bites and prevent infection with West Nile Virus (WNV). In Montana, WNV season usually begins in July and ends in October, as this is when the mosquitoes that transmit WNV emerge.

The virus can also infect horses and birds, with birds serving as the source...

My wife and I got in a fight last week. She accused me of purposely not putting her on fish. I told her that was preposterous. Nothing makes me happier than watching her catch fish. Then why aren’t we catching anything, she asked? Looking at her tear-stained face I realized it was time to confess the truth, a truth already known to my other fishing buddies, but a secret I’d kept from her: I’m simply not a very good fisherman. Oh, I love to fish, and spend an inordinate amount of time doing...
We are no longer sleeping on the floor! A couple of years ago a wheel gave out on our bedframe. I sat down too hard and heard a pop! This should have been a sign that I was getting too heavy. I stored the rest of our bed frame in our storage room and it sat there for a couple of years. Eventually I threw a lot of things out and with those unwanted items was our old bed frame. A year or so later, thanks to Art’s Furniture, I found out that I could have replaced the wheel for a fraction of the c...

From the American Counseling Association Each of us, at times, feels anxious about a situation we’re currently in or about to enter. If such feelings are the norm for you, you may feel you’re “shy” and may find you’re labeled as such by others. Being shy seems cute when it’s a small child hiding behind a parent’s leg but as we get older, being shy can leave us feeling needlessly anxious and often keeps us from opportunities and relationships from which we might benefit. Extreme cases of feeling shy can sometimes meet the criteria for social an...
