County encouraged to buckle up during summer

MINERAL COUNTY - Vacations have begun and desk chairs sit empty while co-workers enjoy their time away from the job. Phones are ringing off the hook, the copier has been jammed for two days and the office plants are wilting. You are scrambling to tend to the needs of your clients as well as those of your vacationing colleagues. Productivity is suffering. Thank goodness they’ll be back on the job soon. But what if they don’t return?

Preparation is key in the fight against the flu this season

If you have ever had the flu, you know how miserable it is. I’ve seen hundreds of cases as a doctor, but I also know from personal experience. To give my family and myself the best odds against the flu, we get the flu shot every year. This year is what the CDC calls a “widespread outbreak”, much like the Swine flu outbreak of 2009. Most of the US, including Montana, is included in this outbreak, and its range is increasing daily. The flu hit a bit earlier this season than expected, so we need to be prepared for a second wave later in the season.

An update from Rep. Schwaderer

I grew up on Diamond Match road, originally built by the company that used to operate the mill at the end of the road that is now home to several local woods products employers. I learned to drive a four-wheeler with family on Plum Creek private timber land. In Kindergarten (I was the last year to attend the Old School in Superior), we learned how to tell the difference between a Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine based on foliage (roughly half the class already knew the difference). My dad, brother, extended family and I have conducted our summerly firewood gathering for the last 22 years of my life like most folks in this neck of the woods.
