Water leak plagues Bank of Baker, helps city
The City crew worked to repair a water standpipe that was leaking.
By Brad Mosher Country Media
It took more than a week, but a water leak outside the Bank of Baker has been fixed. It was first discovered in early January when water started to flow through the grass between the sidewalk and the bank parking lot at 116 South Main Street in downtown Baker. The City of Baker responded, according to Luke Holestine, the city’s Director of Public
Works. “The main line was never affected,” he explained. “We dug up a private line - it is called a curb stopper or stand pipe. It controls the water flow to the Bank of Baker. We believed that to be leaking. We (the City of Baker) have a stand pipe fund. It produces funds through the allocation of $1 for each water meter connection. That fund goes up to $10,000,” he explained. “With that $10,000 we service people’s stand pipes if they should fail.

In June 2020, Daylee Hanson will embark on a trip of a lifetime. It may sound like a cliché but it truly is an opportunity that our youth should take advantage of. Students were asked to write an essay on how electricity can be used to save and improve lives, especially in developing nations. Daylee’s concern for those with no source of electricity is the efficiency of work which also would affect
“We initially dug that dig because the stand pipe was leaking, which we would have fixed and replaced, but we found out the stand pipes were not the issue,” he said. It also gave the city the chance to continue its upgrade of the municipal water system, the public works director added. “We’ll replace those stand pipes since they were uncovered. We’ll put new ones in there replacing ones which were 30 to 40 years old.” That would bring that part of the system to current standards, Holestine added. The city did not interrupt the flow of the water into the bank, the director said. The city was originally notified of the problem when there was excess water, according to Holestine. “There were spots with bubbles coming up,” he said. “When I went there with Dean Wang (the president of the Bank of Baker), we could see some air bubbles coming up in the grass. That told us that the water was working its way to the surface. “Because it was not an emergency - because it wasn’t shooting out of the ground - the one call situation takes three business days. We had to wait until basically Thursday of last
week to dig that.” Once the city crew unearthed the problem and found the cause was on the private line into the bank, it was referred to a local plumber by the bank, the public works director said. “Anything on either side of the stand pipe, it is a private line. The only thing the city actually owns is the main line that runs in the street. “Any of the service lines that run off of that - from the main line all the way to the address - are private,” he explained. “The city does take responsibility for the stand pipes and we do have the fund that does that. If the stand pipes are deemed to be leaking, then we do go in there and fix that.” That meant a private plumber had to come in at the bank’s expense to fix the leaking pipe on the private portion of the line.” The repairs have been tested, Holestine said. “Everything is good as of right now.” He added that the incident gave the city the chance to replace the older valves with new ones. “We are currently replacing anything

the economy. Lack of heating, cooling and medical care are also items that Daylee listed could even lead to loss of life. She feels that “Electricity can grow a community through the economy and through industry, primarily in developing nations.” Daylee is the daughter of Kristopher and Meghann Hanson of Baker, MT. We are very pleased that Daylee will be representing Southeast Electric Cooperative Members in Washington DC.

and everything we can. If there is a situation it is being replaced and brought up to current standards. Our entire town is in the process of being GPS-located and marked for all sewer lines, sewer manhole covers, water lines and all the valves to do with both.” The GPS upgrade for the entire system should be finished sometime during the summer. “You can find any of these valves or manhole covers under snow even (once GPS is fully operational). The GPS would bring you right there and then you did a small little area instead of a 20 by 20. With the GPS location, you could stand right on top of it and just dig. It is a lot more efficient. We have been working on that for two years now,” Holestine said.

Willard Homemakers met for their first meeting of the new year with ten members and guests present. We formulated the menu for the meal we will serve at the Winter Ag Series on Jan. 22 in Baker. Election of officers was held with Jeannie Tronstad as president, Molly Barkley as vice-president, Janice Buck secretary/treasurer and Carol Sparks as reporter. Miraculously these are the same officers as the precious year! Thanks to all who serve so willingly! Dues were raised to $5.00 from the historic $3.25. Following the business meeting the club was treated to a hands-on workshop of cake/cookie decorating by Jeannie and Cindy. The next meeting will be held Feb. 4 at noon at the Senior Center with Lola as hostess.

By Ella Arnell The Vitalant blood drive which was on Jan. 7 was very successful with 54 units of blood given. The refreshments were furnished by the Bank of Baker and Precision Auto. The next blood drive will be in March. When you give blood, you make an immeasurable impact on others. There is a special kind of donation called apheresis, which gives you the power to maximize your impact by matching your blood type with current patient needs. Whole blood donation
provides a mixture of red blood cells, plasma and platelets. Apheresis donation empowers you to give increased quantities of specific components because the remaining components are separated and returned to you Most apheresis donation collect a smaller blood volume compared with whole blood donation, but make a bigger impact by better meeting a specific patient’s needs. With this innovative technology, one donor can provide a complete platelet transfusion for a patient that may have required up to ten donors in the past.
After entering a plea on two felony counts of assault with a weapon in October, Jamie Joyce Carter was sentenced Jan. 7 in the Montana 16th Judicial District Court to a deferred imposition of a three-year sentence on both charges.

Ismay postal service moved to Plevna
5
Fire changes how residents get mail By Brad Mosher Country Media
The Ismay post office building is in ruins after a late night fire burned the structure to the ground. Although the building was destroyed in the early hours of Jan. 3, there will still be postal service for the small rural community six miles north of Highway 12. The residents will just have to travel 20 miles one-way to Plevna for now, according to Ismay’s postmistress, Corrine Sander, who is working out of the Plevna office. “All of the sorting for Ismay is done in Plevna,” Sander explained. “The status of the situation is that right now, we are waiting for the insurance folks to come and the inspectors to come. “We are doing the best we can right now. We can do nothing with the site at all until all the investigations are all complete.” That means it will take some time before any decision is made about bringing the mail service back into Ismay, she said. “It is going to be a lengthy process even to get to even the decision-making point for the Ismay situation. We just don’t know anything yet. It is just too soon in the process to know what they will decide,” the postmistress explained. According to Sander, the postal service has contingency plans. “The contingency plan now is to use Plevna’s as much as possible to keep things flowing as best we can and meet the customers’ needs.” She said whatever the Postal Service plan is for Ismay, she will be doing the best she can with it for the residents of the community.
“It is a 20-mile trip from Ismay to Plevna, but they (USPS) may allow the mail to be brought out to a secondary site in Ismay at some point just to help the customers there. That is a possibility too,” she added. “Depending on the weather, it is about 20 to 25 minutes in each direction. It is a bit of a trip, there is no doubt about that. “In the interim, if a person wants to mail a package, that is just what they will have to do (travel to Plevna). The drop box (in Ismay) is no longer there. That has been taken down and secured,” she said. That means waiting to take a package to Plevna or bring it with them on a trip to Baker, Miles City or other larger communities when they go for groceries, Sander explained. “It is just one of those things. They’ll have to adapt to this change,” she added. The postmistress said she is working through the Postal Service checklist. “We are making progress every day and it is a priority to move this thing as quickly as we can.” As to the long range impact on the community, the postmistress said that it is too early in the process to speculate. “It is going to be interesting to see what they (the Postal Service) come up with and how this shakes out. “Out here, we have problems with hail, wind and not just fire. The elements can be brutal,” she said. “Some of these offices are even more remote than Ismay. It could be worse. It hasn’t been easy.” There is some comfort in having to go through a checklist because each item is checked off, the end of the
checklist becomes noticeably closer. “As you get one more item done, then there is the next one. In my opinion, it kind of helps the process to be that regimented. It is helpful,” she said. Contingency plans The Postal Service has contingency plans to handle disasters affecting their service, Sander explained. “Whether it be flood, fire, tornado, any kind of a natural disaster situation, there is always a contingency plan for each office to have a fallback mail-handling situation. That is very common. “One thing that is nice about the postal service is that you can share employees if you need to. You can borrow from another office (as needed). The work is all the same. The requirements are the same and the deadlines are the same,” she explained. “The post office is very good at adapting,” said Sander, who has been the postmistress for Ismay for about eight years. Waiting for investigations The postmaster in the Baker post office, Kevin Kleppelid, said the Plevna Post Office has always handled the mail needs of Ismay. “The Ismay routes are established out of Plevna. They have been there now for four years. “We are holding their mail in Plevna until we get further guidance. As far as the building, that is being handled by headquarters,” he added. Before there can be anything done to return mail service to Ismay, the investigations by the insurance company and the postal service have to be completed, he explained.

DPHHS responds to new federal law that raises the minimum age of sale of tobacco products By Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services
State health officials said today that tobacco product retailers in Montana should comply with a new federal law and discontinue tobacco product sales to those under the age of 21. Federal compliance checks will continue to occur under the new minimum age requirement. On Dec. 20, 2019, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) announced,

co product as “any product made or derived from tobacco that is intended for human consumption, including any component, part, or accessory of a tobacco product,” and includes hookah, e-cigarettes (vapes), dissolvables, smokeless tobacco, cigarettes, all cigars, roll-your-own tobacco, pipe tobacco, and future tobacco products that meet the statutory definition of a tobacco product. “DPHHS strongly supports this new law, which is grounded in public health re-
search and will protect young adults from a lifetime of addiction to nicotine,” DPHHS Director Sheila Hogan said. Hogan noted that nearly 95% of people who smoke cigarettes started before they turned 21. Increasing the minimum age of sale from 18 to 21 will reduce tobacco use by delaying the age of initiation.

Montana State Historic Preservation Office offering Preservation Grant HELENA - The Montana Historical Society’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is announcing $350,000 in Revitalizing Montana’s Rural Heritage (RMRH) grant program funding to support the preservation of historic buildings in rural communities across the state. This brick-and-mortar grant comes from the National Park Service’s (NPS) Historic Revitalization Subgrant Program (HRSP), funded by that agency’s Historic Preservation Fund. SHPO is among nine entities nation-
wide to obtain HRSP funds in the program’s inaugural year. The state agency will award grants between $10,000 and $100,000 for physical repairs and improvements to rural properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. All work must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. SHPO’s Community Preservation Coordinator, Kate Hampton says that, “The RMRH grant will be a tool for rural communities eager to capitalize on their built
heritage. It will help re-establish under-utilized buildings to strengthen towns socially and economically. The ideal candidate property is one that would be a hub for locals and a draw for tourists.” SHPO’s idea for the RMRH program came from seeing home-grown preservation projects in a few rural communities across the state. Ekalaka established its town hall and library in an empty bank the town preserved; one-by-one, Phillipsburg’s
commercial building owners re-invented the town by repainting their Victorian-era building facades; and Deer Lodge’s Rialto Theater rose from the ashes of a devastating fire to maintain its status as the community’s gathering place on Main Street. “We saw community buy-in with these pioneering projects. They were restorative architecturally, but also restorative in terms of community spirit. We always thought it would be great if
SHPO could be in a position to help these projects along monetarily, and now we can.” Says SHPO’s Historic Architecture Specialist, Pete Brown. SHPO seeks a diverse applicant base including private, non-profit, and public owners of historic properties within rural census tracts. Potential applicants can obtain a preliminary screening application at https://mhs.mt.gov/ Shpo/RMRH.
