The Phillips County Health Department and the Phillips County Hospital and Family Health Clinic have come together to inform and educate everyone on the recent Influenza activity in our community. Over the last month, Phillips County has confirmed a higher amount of positive influenza cases than recent years. The elderly, young children and people with certain health conditions are the most at risk of complications from the flu. Also, infants less than six months of age are unable to receive the flu vaccine, so it is important for others to...
It’s seems over the past few years any news about the Hi-Line Retirement Center has been bad news. Just a few months ago the facility announced operating as a nursing home was no longer financially feasible. The facility had notified the Department of Health and Human Services that they would close the nursing home in 90 days and reopen as an assisted living facility. Residents began moving out to Sweet Home in Chinook, and Northern Montana Care Center in Havre. Unfortunately an assisted living facility does not meet the needs of the c...
If Malta High School junior Joanie Sjostrom has her way, one day she will be the President of the United State. Until that time, though, Sjostrom relishes her recent foray into politics.

Movies offer an escape from everyday life. That’s why I’m not a big fan of dog movies. They’re too everyday. From the time I get up in the morning until I close my eyes at night, dogs rule my life. Oh, I try to ignore them, kick them out of the house, the chair, the bed, pretend I don’t hear them barking, scratching at the door, but they persist. They demand food, attention, medicine, grooming, exercise. They shadow me from room to room. So when I watch a movie I choose anything else. I certain...
The 2017 legislative session continues to heat up. The Senate is taking action on more legislation and the budget continues to be the main focus. With the Republican-led Legislature back in town we are doing the hard work of developing a conservative budget that funds essential services and works for all Montanans’. Innovative policy solutions are being crafted to get government out of the way so that the private sector can once again thrive. I wanted to provide you with an update on the legislation that I am working on in the Senate, SJ 10. N...
This is a time of tremendous opportunity in farming and ranching for beginners graduating from college or looking to start a venture of their own. Alternative crops and high value markets offer profit potential and lower risk for new farmers. If land ownership is the preferred route, funding will have to come from savings, bootstrapping, investors/partners, or loans. There are no grants, or free money, for farm startup and operation. Many beginners find financing at the USDA Farm Service Agency, which has the lowest interest rate and programs...
Welp, for the first half of the Super Bowl, I was correct. Last week I had predicted an Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl win. At halftime, the Falcons were up 21-3 and Tom Brady hate memes were running rampant on Facebook. Then Lady Gaga sang. I have to admit that I didn’t want to see the halftime show until some people claimed that she was going to make a political statement. I was gearing up for the next thing President Trump was about to say on his Twitter account in retaliation to the halftime s...

Gov. Steve Bullock vetoed the first bill of the Montana legislative session last week, reducing the proposed pay raise for legislators. House Bill 1 would have increased the legislators' pay by 14 percent for the next legislative session. Bullock vetoed the bill with an amendment to increase pay only by 1.4 percent to coincide with the rate of inflation. He said the state needs to “live within its means.” “At the same time that we’re tightening the belt of the rest of government, the legislative branch sent me a bill to increase the spendin...
