A story which has played out around the countryside due to the cold temps and deep snow is told in pictures. A calf, hypothermic and near death, is plucked from the snow and brought inside the house. A hot bath, drying out by the fireplace, and colostrum infusion help to bring the calf back around. The calf is then returned to his mother, who hopefully will take him back without too much fuss. This calf survived; his mom was thrilled for his return....

Courtesy of PR County Health Nurse Darlynn Williams As of February 28, 2019, 206 cases of measles have been reported to CDC from 11 states. There currently are NO cases of measles in Montana. Most cases in 2019 are part of a large outbreak in Clark County, Washington. Given the proximity of this outbreak to Montana, we may have travelers to and from the area, which could increase the risk of exposure to Montana residents. Measles is an extremely contagious virus that can be dangerous, especially for young children. The measles virus can s...
By Lee Banville, Professor of Jounalism at U of M The students I teach at the University of Montana often show up with a powerful assumption: If there is some piece of information out there, Google can find it. It’s an understandable belief for 19-year-olds who have grown up in a world where ubiquitous connection to the Internet and easy access to vast reams of webpages is expected. But for all those Wikipedia pages and Wayback Machines, there are countless documents that you, as a Montanan, have a constitutional right to see and you won’t fin...

Removing an ice dam from your roof immediately after spotting the signs is very important to prevent damage to your home. One way to remove an ice dam is to melt it using calcium chloride. Step 1. Using a roof rake, remove snow 3-4 feet from the edge of your roof, being careful not to damage the roof covering. Step 2. Use a calcium chloride ice melt product readily available. Do not use rock salt or sodium chloride, which can damage your roof. Step 3. Fill a tube of cloth, a nylon stocking works well, with the calcium chloride. Step 4. Safely...
UM Legislative News Service University of Montana School of Journalism HELENA -- The Montana House Appropriations Committee opened public testimony last week on House Bill 2, the bill that sets the budget for state agencies. Some of the most controversial changes come from the subcommittee that deals with the budget for the Department of Public Health and Human Services, which has proposed cutting more than 100 full-time equivalent positions from the agency. Director of DPHHS Sheila Hogan said the cuts will especially hurt rural areas where...

At the monthly March board meeting, trustees discussed a requirement from House Bill 307 from the 2017 legislative session to adopt a resolution estimating permissive mills. Permissive mills are essentially a tax without voter approval. Since many districts were having difficulty passing levies to improve and update their facilities, House Bill 307 provided an avenue for them to generate revenue permissively. The trade-off was that all districts would be required to publish a resolution denoting any potential increase or decrease to selected...

The House appropriations crew came back from transmittal break this week to hear House Bill 2, the state budget. We are past the halfway point and ready to finish up the people's work and head home in April. The state budget will be front and center the next couple weeks, so I thought I'd make a few points. Montana has a balanced budget amendment in our state constitution. That means we cannot spend more than we take in. Republicans are committed to balance the state budget without ANY of the Governor's proposed tax increases that total in the...
