A solution in search of a problem

I see that some Montana Legislators are going to be pushing the “Sheriffs First” legislation again this coming January. It must be close to the umptieth time this anti-federal government idea has been brought to the legislature, but it still hasn’t passed, and with good reason; it’s a bad idea and has little to no support from Montana Sheriffs.

Didn't come up with the same planning board results

I read Ron Olfert’s letter in the May 1st Ledger and, after reading what Ron wrote, decided to read Title 76 of Montana Code Annotated. I find it strange that I did not come away with the same understanding of a growth policy that Ron presented in his letter. For instance, Ron states “… a growth policy must be implemented. The implementation document is the zoning law …”   76.1.601(3)(f) states a growth policy must include an implementation strategy that includes: (i) a timetable for implementing the growth policy; (ii) a list of conditions that will lead to the revision of the growth policy; and (iii) a timetable for reviewing the growth policy at least once every five years and revising the policy if necessary. But 76-1-601(2) states: “The extent to which a growth policy addresses the elements listed in subsection (3) is at the full discretion of the governing body.” This means (3)(f), the implementation strategy, doesn’t have to be considered by the governing body.

Even in cold weather, get out and play!

With frigid temperatures outside, it may be hard to get motivated to bundle up and get some fresh air with your kids. This can result in a bad case of “cabin fever”. Outdoor play is not only essential for healthy brain development in children, it is also fun. But even though many parents believe outdoor play is beneficial, fewer children are spending time outside. Researchers have looked into this and have identified several reasons parents “keep” kids indoors including safety concerns and time constraints.

Danielle's column: Getting active

I have been inexcusably lazy for the past eight months. Last summer when I was unemployed back home I had nothing to do but run. Then when I moved to Plains I dedicated all of my time and energy to reporting, and though it pains me to admit, my couch.
