GREAT FALLS â In Cahoots For Tea in Great Falls is raising money to help animals in need.
The shop, located at 118 Central Avenue, is selling some Christmas items at 50 percent off and has a shelf with items you can make any offer on.
Proceeds will go to the
In Cahoots For Tea owner Kathy Jutras said she tries to do something every year to help the center. It s a worthy cause. Every animal deserves a good home and I believe in that wholeheartedly. I just wish more people would get on board with it,â said Jutras.
A Minnesota federal judge, U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, on Monday, Dec. 21, agreed to a motion by attorneys for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe for a summary judgment on standing regarding a breakdown in the law enforcement agreement between tribal police and Mille Lacs County as part of the tribal policeâs 2017 lawsuit against the County. Judge Nelson did not issue an opinion on the Reservation boundaries, which is also part of the lawsuit, but the subject will be heard on March 15 in court.
An attorney for the County, Randy Thompson of Nolan, Thompson, Leighton & Tataryn, said there may be an appeal made by the county attorney or sheriff. Thompson expressed his disappointment with the ruling, adding that the court may not have fully considered the conflicting factual record in reaching its conclusion, but he is hopeful that the core issue of the Reservation boundaries will be resolved in favor of the Countyâs position in a future court hearing.

Sarah Rice is the lead author of the paper and a Ph.D. student at UAF’s Institute of Arctic Biology. She says during the winter, arctic ground squirrels enter a state of extreme hibernation. They can take their body temperature below freezing, when they re in hibernation their heartbeats five times a minute, and they breathe once a minute, they re just this incredible animal. It s almost like in a suspended state of animation. And how they do that, you know, some people discovered certain things with it, but we don t know exactly how it works completely.
Arctic ground squirrels can hibernate for up to eight months and they appear to awake from their winter sleep without the impacts of starvation or muscle loss. Rice wanted to know how they stayed in such good shape without exercise or food.

Arctic ground squirrels can survive harsh winters with below-freezing temps by holing up for some eight months without eating. These hibernators “live at the most extreme edge of existence, just barely hovering over death, and we don’t fully understand how this works,” says Sarah Rice, a biochemist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
By snooping on what’s going on inside these squirrels, researchers now have a better idea. Nutrients recycled from muscle breakdown help the animals get by during hibernation, Rice and her colleagues report December 7 in
Nature Metabolism.

We consulted Dr. Nora Zabel Tossounian, an internist at Hackensack Meridian Health Primary Care and Women’s Health in Lodi.
She cautions against too many megadoses of vitamins or overeating a certain type of food just because it may supply a specific nutrient.
