This holiday season, the Richland County Food Bank is as busy as ever. The Roundup spoke to volunteer Candy Markwald about the organization that exists to feed the hungry of Richland County. "We average ten families on Monday and 14 to 17 on Thursdays," Markwald said, "and it's an ebb and flow. The quantity of food we give away is based on family size. We look at how many people are in the family group, and people with children receive more than people without children. If someone is frugal, it...
On Monday, December 4, attorneys for Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project filed the final reply brief to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to end the injunction on construction of the concrete weir and fish bypass at Intake. Oral arguments in the case should be heard in March, probably in Portland, OR. The Plaintiffs (Defenders of Wildlife, et al) are asking for further delay until after Judge Morris makes his final decision. To further complicate matters, Montana Trout Unlimited and the American Fisheries Society have asked to file an amicus...

Where have the deficit-hawks flown to? Are their heads in the clouds? If you look at the tax plan that just passed the Senate, it’s clear they have flown away from Washington. Unfortunately, some folks in Congress turned their back on future generations and passed a so-called “tax reform bill” that sells off the futures of our kids and grandkids in exchange for tax giveaways to wealthy out-of-staters. These tax giveaways to the ultra-rich will saddle future generations of hardworking Montanans with crushing debt by adding nearly $1.5 trillion t...

Winter anglers are reminded that any fish house left unoccupied on North Dakota waters must be made out of materials that will allow it to float. A popular question this time of year is if campers qualify as legal fish houses. The answer is the same for any structure taken on the ice – if it's left unattended, it must be able to float; if it's not able to float, it must be removed when the angler leaves the ice. Other fish house regulations include: - Fish houses do not require a license. - O...

As I peered in our refrigerator the other day, I noticed some small containers with dabs of leftovers that had just reached their "time to toss" phase. I always feel guilty when we throw away food in our home. To help use any extra servings, I eat leftovers almost every day at work. Unfortunately, sometimes a few odds and ends of food hide behind the milk carton and eventually need to be discarded. Illness-causing microorganisms such as bacteria and mold can grow and/or produce toxins in...
Some things are synonymous with Montana State University: the bobcat, blue and gold and Montana Hall. In the MSU College of Agriculture and for many Montana ranchers, James Berardinelli may be on that list, too. For the last 37 years, Berardinelli, professor of animal science in MSU's Department of Animal and Range Sciences, has taught students how to be familiar with the rear end of a cow. In more than three decades of teaching and researching animal reproductive science at MSU, about 2,500...
