Nursing has been an important part of my adult life. I have enjoyed and learned from many different work environments during my years as a nurse. When I moved from private-sector nursing to public health nursing eight years ago, a new learning curve began. I soon discovered my patient was no longer one individual, it was a community. That community could be the size of a family or the size of a county. Caring for an entire community required a broader view of health and healing. In the medical field, diseases and injuries are treated one...
Jefferson Valley Fine Arts is pleased to announce two local artists who are being featured at the Whitehall Town Hall. Jean Fastenow of Waterloo has some beautiful watercolor pieces on display. Jean is a retired nurse and has resided in Waterloo for 11 years. She spent a short time taking lessons after retirement but is mainly self-taught.

She is an avid exhibitor in our local JVFA art shows and participates in the Painters in the...

The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) will begin conducting Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids (HMK) eligibility redeterminations on April 1 for the first time in three years.

However, last December’s federal omnibus spending bill directed states to resume evaluating the eligibility of Medicaid enrollees on April 1. Beginning in April a...
A deer stands paralyzed in the middle of a mountain highway, stunned by the lights and deafening roar of an 18-wheeler barreling toward it. At the last second, the deer leaps back into the forest. This time, the deer and the trucker avoid a fatal collision, but this stretch of Interstate-5 in southern Oregon is a known killing field for wildlife and dangerous for motorists. The highway cuts through a critical connection for wildlife moving between two mountain ranges and home to the...
It is that time of the year when the squirrels are coming out of the trees and starting to tease my dog. I am on the same page as my dog I hate seeing them and I try to chase them away. I really hate squirrels because they chase away all the pretty birds. So, about 4 years ago, I started to shoot them with an air rifle. The problem with shooting them is they can sometimes get stuck in the tree, and other times as soon as the body hits the ground the dog would come up and grab it. I thought and thought about what the best way would be to get...
