From the floppy ears right down to their fluffy little tails, its is hard to deny how cute bunnies are.

Ronan 10-year-old's art makes splash against the pros

Picture
Dalen Siech wears many hats.  In the course of a week he is an artist, a philanthropist, a photographer, and a middle school student.

Though he is just 10 years old, Siech’s photography has started getting the attention of judges and professionals alike.  This spring Siech entered three of his pieces in a fine art photography contest in Hot Springs along with notable professionals from the area.  All three of his works won ribbons, and his photo of aspens from the Grand Canyon was a finalist in the competition.

Humble and timid, Siech’s whole demeanor changes when he talks about taking photos.  A smile spreads across his face when he recalls the trials and tribulations of getting the perfect shot of birds in flight or lying on his stomach to capture a sunflower in bloom.

The dairy debate

7/4/2013

 

In April, raw milk stirred up a commotion in the Montana Legislature. The debate didn't die with the bill, but is in a stalemate. The future of raw milk could hold big things for small farmers if a compromise can be made.

Want to buy something illegal but don’t know where to find it? Check Craigslist.

That is where many have gone to find raw milk, which was kept outlawed by the Montana State Legislature in April.  You can’t find it by searching ‘raw milk’ but type in ‘milk’ and over 100 ads pop up.  With some sifting, you will soon find ads for cow shares, to receive a portion of what the cow produces, and some more blatant ads for raw milk.

Any sale of raw milk in Montana is illegal, but the debate over raw milk isn’t black and white.
