Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

Marital Value in the Free Market Do you have any idea the monetary value of your marriage? I do. Well, actually I recently learned its upper limit as measured over a two hour time frame. After nearly 35 years of matrimony it is reassuring to know the trophy wife considers my company to not be completely worthless; close but not completely. Let me explain. Druann and I flew to Pensacola, Florida over Easter to visit our daughter Chelsie, son-in-law Marcus and their three mini-Warners. Because these three grandchildren live across the country, our visits are woefully inadequate to develop the proper relationship with Nana and Papa. Marcus is in his home stretch of duty with the Navy’s Blue Angels and we hope they will be coming home to Montana once his obligation is met. Marc is our only family member in the armed services and he will spend these last six months at airshows across America; great for a single guy, but a source of heartache and hardship for a true dad with a family. Serving one’s country while simultaneously serving one’s family are mutually exclusive conditions. I am humbled by the sacrifice patriots made in 1776 when they abandoned families and farms to engage the most powerful military in world history so as to advance the American Cause; launch our great experiment in freedom. To believe no one man has the right to rule another was a truly revolutionary idea. Minimally supplied and armed mostly with a passion for liberty, those who lived through multiple battlefield defeats faced greater threats of death from starvation or disease once back in camp. Our founders were truly a special breed. I mention this here because I am so angered to see today’s Democrats and establishment Republicans exchange freedom earned from the blood of patriots for votes from

the dependency class. I trust there is a special place in hell reserved for those who put such a trivial value on something as celestial as freedom. Sorry, I rambled off my point, so let me start again. We had booked our flights months ago, but today’s new and improved airline reservation system means the computer randomly selects your seats and then wishes you the best of luck trying to change them so you can sit together. We made a half-hearted attempt to fix this while interacting with the kiosk at the Billings airport. We failed. However, once aboard the aircraft we swapped seats with a nice young man so we shared our flight together. The innate kindness of man will always rule over electronics. During the three hour layover in Denver we attacked another kiosk attempting to change our seats to Houston. Here is where I discovered the free market value of my company; my presence is worth some value less than $45 per hour. Druann found us a couple exit row seats together, but to make the change would require a 45 dollar greasing of United Airlines…per seat. Facing a $90 charge for a two hour flight the trophy wife announced, “Well it’s not worth that,” and she hit the exit icon. I started thinking how impressed she would have been had I quickly swiped my card through the reader and offhandedly announced, “Well, you are worth $45 per hour to me!” On second thought, perhaps the other passengers would misinterpret the nature of our relationship thinking it was the trophy wife charging by the hour for her services rather than United Airlines. Defeated again, we gathered our carry-ons and quietly walked to the gate.

Sitting alone in a window seat on our flight to Houston, I intermittently tapped along on my lap top composing this column when I wasn’t staring at the vast openness of this wonder called America. The captain announced we were 200 miles from Houston and would begin our descent. Looking down, I was amazed by all the small dirt roads recently carved into the sandy soils. At first I thought they were all new, tiny subdivisions, but as we descended it was obvious they were service roads leading to energy development sites and there were hundreds upon hundreds of them. America truly is the land of plenty and we have not even scratched the surface of our God given potential. Americans must abandon the Marxist thought wealth originates in their neighbor’s wallet and the proper function of government is to redistribute that wealth down the barrel of a gun. It is the free market in a setting of a limited government structure which sets the value of all products and services from the price of crude oil to the value of sitting alongside your wife on a two hour plane ride. The sooner we eliminate restrictive government regulation the quicker America will restore her greatness. Let freedom ring.

BITCOIN: FAD OR THE FUTURE? What if someone told you about an investment that has made some people millionaires overnight last November, with multiple double-digit crashes in between.*** After China cracked down on virtual and has both a number of high-profile supporters and a global reach? Would you be tempted to invest? currency transactions by financial institutions and halted deposits of yuan at exchanges there, Bitcoin’s Now what if someone told you that the same investment also could lose most or all of its value almost worth in dollars was cut by more than half. overnight, and that you might not have access to your money when you need it? How does it sound That volatility has led to problems for people trying to make payments in bitcoins. It’s hard to use a now? currency when you’re not sure from day to day whether the amount in your virtual wallet is worth enough You’ve just confronted the debate surrounding the five-year-old digital phenomenon known as to buy a Range Rover or a tank of gas. Complicating the issue is the fact that the value can vary on Bitcoin. An alternative currency that exists strictly as digital code, Bitcoin has received a lot of attention, different Bitcoin exchanges. especially in the last year.

To understand how the currency works, you have to understand where it comes from. Unlike or exchange their funds. Because of the accusations of money laundering via Bitcoin, scrutiny of printed currency or coins that are minted, Bitcoin is created by “mining”--using complex software to solve digital transactions is increasing.

Dig right in to our newest regular guest column! Bill Hake invites you to test his recipes and his theories and tell us what you think. And he takes “requests”!

By now, most of you (like me) realize your new year’s resolution to get in better shape and shed a few pounds ain’t workin’. All of the exercise and diet programs I have looked at either have flaws or set up conditions that are impossible to stick with. So I have come up with a plan. Actually, it’s not a plan; it’s just a few ideas that will help you understand what healthy living really amounts to. First thing we need to get out of the way is that extreme exercise can do irreversible damage to the body. Most marathoners don’t make it to a ripe old age. If a ruptured aneurism or a stroke doesn’t take them, their injured joints will cripple them. Now, let me point out something that most people don’t seem to have considered. If you visit a retirement home or a nursing home you tend to find more elderly widows than widowers; so, why is it that more women live longer than men? The logical answer is that women don’t retire; the housework goes on forever, while the men after retirement spend too much time in the recliner. There you have it—you don’t have to spend five days a week at the gym to stay healthy; you just have to help with the housework. Another important point: most of us can agree that fresh, live, raw food is healthier for you than cooked or processed foods. Now, I doubt there was ever a Mom who didn’t eat pieces of raw vegetables and fruits as she cut them up while preparing meals for her family and wound up at the table not very hungry. There you have a diet that was healthier than the cooked food on the table. Here comes the plan. One of the healthiest things a man can do after retirement is to put in a garden. A garden will require a lot of healthy exercise and provide wonderfully flavored fresh healthy food for the table. Now is the time to start planning for a garden. If you wait much longer the seed houses will run out of the best seed varieties. If you have unanswered questions about what works best for your area, your best resource will be your local greenhouse. You will need a lot of zucchini recipes so let’s start with one here.

Sausage Soup

1 lb. bulk sausage, your choice of flavor 1 medium onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped small 6 cups beef broth ½ cup red wine 4 large garden tomatoes, diced 1 cup carrots, sliced 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 Tbsp. dry Italian seasoning 2 cups sliced zucchini 1 lb. small shrimp peeled and cleaned 3 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley Seasonings to taste In a 5 quart stock pot over medium-high heat, brown sausage until no longer pink. Add onion and garlic and sauté about 2 more minutes. Add beef broth, wine, tomatoes, carrots, tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to a simmer and cook uncovered for 30 minutes. Add zucchini and cook covered for another 20 minutes, add shrimp and parsley cook for ten minutes more. Season to taste with your favorite blend of season salt. (I use Alpine Touch.) Serve with a dollop of Crème Fraiche. Make your own by adding 2 Tbsp. cultured buttermilk to 1 pint whipping cream and leave it set in a warm place for 48 hours then return to fridge. Use in place of sour cream.

Saturday, May 17 marks the 9th Annual Bonnie City Blues & Brews Festival in Glasgow, Montana, where locals and visitors alike flock to enjoy great food, live music, and a mouthwatering selection of over 30 microbrews on tap. This year’s live music lineup includes local musicians Trial by Fire and Dirty Power, and features the Nashvillebased blues group, Scott Holt Band. The festival has experienced a tremendous surge in popularity since its founding by Glasgow’s Zach Burner in 2006. While attendees were initially comprised almost entirely of Glasgow area residents, Blues and Brews has become an annual destination for hundreds of folks in central & eastern Montana, North Dakota, and beyond. Blues and Brews kicks off at 4:00pm and music begins at 5:00pm. A wide selection of local, Montana-made craft beer will be available, and a select few brew masters from Montana breweries will be distributing their products. For those lacking the palette for pilsners, porters, and everything between, a selection of wines will be available. Collectible merchandise for the festival and live musicians will also be available for purchase. The event is 21 and over and runs until midnight; the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce is offering free transportation for festival-goers who get a bit more than their fill, although advanced notice is required to utilize the service. Tickets can be purchased for $45 at the gates, or for the presale price of $40 at the Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture Office, KLTZ/KLAN, or at The Cottonwood Inn. For more information call (406) 228-2222.

DEAR DAVE, I want to roll over a 401(k), and my bank is encouraging me to roll it over to fixed annuities. Is this a good investment? ~John

Dear John, More times than not, when you go to a bank for investment advice, what you’ll get in the bargain is bad advice. And that’s the case here. I’d move toward a traditional IRA, in a series of good growth stock mutual funds. Put it across four types of accounts: growth, growth and income, aggressive growth and international. What you’re looking for, John, is a great track record for your investments. You want a track record so ridiculously good that it gives you a great sense of comfort, even though there’s no guarantee of what’s to come. And there are mutual funds out there that can do just that for you. I own one that’s over 70 years old, and it has averaged nearly 12 percent over that time. Lots of people talk in “what ifs” when it comes to investing. Well, you can play that little game all day. But if the economy goes completely down the tubes, and the government destroys things like mutual funds and real estate completely, your little bank-recommended annuity isn’t going to make it, either. The banking system as a whole will fail if all the mutual funds close because they’re all based in publicly traded companies. And that means virtually every business you drive by on your way to work would be out of business. A bank’s not going to survive that kind of thing. If you’re looking for things to help you survive the apocalypse, you’re talking about food and water. But if you want rational, well-reasoned investments, you need to look at growth stock mutual funds and paid-for real estate. That’s what I do! ~Dave DEAR DAVE, Why do you think debt consolidation is such a bad thing? ~Tessa Dear Tessa, Debt consolidation is a bad thing because it makes you feel like you really did something to get out of debt and change your financial world when you didn’t. People come to me all the time saying stuff like, “Dave, I got a second mortgage. I paid off all my debt!” Well, no you didn’t pay off all your debt. You just moved it around. That’s part of the catch when it comes to debt consolidation. If you get a lower payment and move things around a little bit, you feel like you actually accomplished something. The problem with that is you don’t do anything to address the real problem, which is you. Interest rates aren’t your problem, and the number of payments isn’t your problem. Your problem is the person you look at in the mirror every morning, Tessa. Until you fix that person and get mad enough at your financial situation and the real cause of it, you’ll never make any progress toward getting control of your finances. Trying to borrow your way out of debt is not a good plan! ~Dave
