Are you bothered by congestion or sinusitis due to season allergies? While drinking more fluids, increasing omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin C, and taking decongestants and antihistamines are some ways to cope with the symptoms, clearing your nasal passages with saline irrigation is also beneficial. Sinus rinsing removes dust, pollen, bacteria and other debris. It also loosens mucus. Nasal rinsing helps relieve sinus infections, allergies, colds and flu. Maybe you have heard of a little teapot with a long spout, called a neti pot that allows a s...

State and local public health officials are reminding Montanans to be aware of the risk for exposure to rabies as summer approaches. Encounters between humans and wild animals often increase in spring and summer months because of the time spent hiking and engaging in other outdoor activities. Rabies is a fatal disease. The rabies virus is carried in the saliva of infected warm-blooded mammals and is usually transmitted to people and other animals through a bite. Bats are a great concern in Montana because a bite may not be noticeable, and they...
School's out and it's a great time to celebrate the quality of teachers we have in Big Sandy giving them a high five to say thank you!

Brad Moore said, "It's hard, almost impossible to keep good teachers in Big Sandy." Montana has the lowest starting salary in the nation at $30,036, according to the National...
The Barracuda Swim Team started out with a splash! No pun intended. The under eight relay team made up of four boys started the race from the starting blocks with a big belly flop. One of the boys laughingly told me the splash he made blinded the other swimmers and helped him get ahead. It was a nice day and surprisingly bug free for Harlem. There were 14 teams totaling 140 swimmers Big Sandy had 25 of their 43 swimmers there for this first meet. There are six meets before Divisional which will...
By Zoe Merrill I'm always woken up by the bird's morning songs who live in our shelter belt. They wake me up at 4:14 every morning. It's still dark out! It always starts with one song, probably the same early riser, but she is joined quickly as they sing out to each other. Some mornings I cuss at them, because I hear nothing but noise as they all sing with their own voices. Clearly not in harmony. I try to roll over and shut it out, sometimes successfully, but it can't be a deep sleep, because...
Tree watering rules of thumb • Water trees three times a month in addition to watering your lawn. • Deep watering to a depth of 12” inches below the soil surface is recommended. Saturate the soil around the tree within the “dripline” (the outer edges of the tree’s branches) to disperse water down toward the roots. • For evergreens, water 3’-5’ beyond the dripline on all sides of the tree. • The objective is to water slowly, dispersing the flow of water to get the water deep down to the trees roots. Watering for short periods of time onl...
Sheriff Deputies Jeremy Echols of Big Sandy and Eric Visocan from Fort Benton were at the FE Miley School to help teach bike safety. And although your children have been taught a few safety tips it's parents that need to make sure our children are safe on their bikes this summer.

It is spring, it is Memorial Day, it is a time to remember, it is a time to fly "Old Glory", and it is a time to give thanks. Earlier as I walked among military grave stones and monuments, I saw the names of those who had willingly sacrificed so all of us could live in freedom. I wondered who many of them were, and even recognized some I had known if only so briefly. One name is PFC Robert F. Ray etched under a Christian Cross on a gray tombstone and again as Bob Ray on a black granite monument...

Every year the F.E. Miley School invites the public to their Extravaganza. Programs and cookies are given at the door so you know exactly what you are going to see in each classroom. Obvious homemade chocolate chip cookies yelled at you to eat them when you walked by. They were that good! The Kindergarten class did an incredibly good job. They had Hands on Science Experiments to show and tell you about. Each table had a display of the experiments and the results. They weren't shy at all and...
The Big Sandy Music Department received funds from the Big Sandy Education Foundation to purchase a Yamaha Marimba for the percussion section. The marimba is an instrument made out of wood that resembles a piano. It has a row of wooden bars along the bottom where the "white" keys would be on a piano and the row above them would be the "black" keys on a piano. Instead of playing it with ten fingers, it is played with two to four mallets. Once the bar is struck with a mallet, the sound travels...
