Making a splash Swimming pool prepares for summer By Brad Mosher

Baker is ready to make a splash for the summer. Almost. The swimming pool on the Baker High School campus has gone through repairs and cleaning. Now, it is being filled with water. That alone could take two to three weeks according to the manager, Darby Waldbillig. Not only does the pool have to be refilled, but the water in it would have to be treated before it can be open for use. “As far as I can tell, draining the pool hasn’t been done in about ten years,” Waldbillig said. “We had some patches here in the shallow end and some plaster that needed to be fixed. It was time to replace the drain covers down in the deep end. That needs to be done every ten years,” she added. A Bismarck company (Associated Pools) was
used and the pool project was able to fit in its schedule, she explained. “It certainly is not normal for us to drain the pool entirely to do any sort of repairs. It was a oneoff. It worked for them (the company) and we had some stuff that needed done. “It just sort of happened to work out. Nothing related to school, summer or anything like that,” she said. As to the guidelines, Waldbillig said the complex is waiting on information from the governor’s office. “But for right now, we can pretty much be open as normal. We will ask our lap swimmers and anyone else in the pool, kids included, to stay six feet apart. “We will have the slide going and people can come in for lap swims once we are open. Kids will be able to come in and play swim. It should be fair-

When it comes to the state high school rodeo, the early birds may not get the worm but they do get the best parking for the week long event in Baker, according to the Fallon County Fairgrounds manager. Although the facility opened Sunday for early arrivals, only a few came to the fairgrounds, Shyla Hadley said Sunday afternoon. Crews were working to prepare the stands and the arena for the opening of the Montana State High School Rodeo Championships. By Monday, more people arrived. “It is when officials start coming, but Tuesday is when the competition starts - with the Queen scheduled events.

ing herself in physical work outs with her treadmill, since many decades of running and jumping rope wore her knees out. Ann was always encouraging her boys in physical athletics and school. She would go skiing, (even though the cold was not her favorite) golf, tennis and even swimming with her water wings with her boys. Ann loved music and the church she played the piano for her church and grandchildren being able to play anything she heard perfectly by ear not by sheet music. Ann was an active member of the community and an accomplished nurse, working into her 70’s receiving “Nurse of the Year” award at Kalispell Regional Medical Center. Ann was very proud of her two boys Steven and Ward as you could see when they were together. She would do anything for her grandchildren, (Steven, Brittanie, Jordan, Clifford and Austin) and just last year Ann was blessed with her first great grandchild, Hunter B’alam Burrows who never ceased to make her smile. When Ann returned to Miles City for a Sacred Heart class reunion, she reconnected with her friend Bill Bickle. With time their friendship grew into love and they were married in 2012. Ann was never as happy
as her time with Bill working the ranch and traveling together to the many marvels of the world the two of them choose to explore. Ann was preceded in death by her niece Tammy Hill, her father Otis Miller, her mother Minnie Tyler. She is survived by her husband, Bill Bickle of Ismay; her son Steven Clark and wife Celia of Gilbert, AZ. Grandchildren Jordon and wife Amie Clark of Arizona, Austin Clark of Gilbert, AZ; her son Ward Clark and wife Jenifer of Whitefish. Grandchildren Steven Clark of Highland Park, NJ, Brittanie Burrows husband Chance Burrows and little Hunter of Florence; Clifford Clark of Whitefish; a sister Eunice Hill and family and a brother Walter Miller and family.

England memorial fund
A memorial fund has been set up at The Bank of Baker for the Ken England family. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to the Bank of Baker, P.O. Box 739, Baker, MT 59313. Make checks payable to Ken England Memorial. Ken passed away suddenly on May 21, 2020, leaving his wife Tonya and handicapped daughter Jakora behind. Ken was a quiet man until you got to know him. He was loved by so many and will be truly missed. Ken was an amazing man who loved his family and friends. He would do anything for anyone. Ken loved taking Jakora for car rides and spoiling his grand kids. His family meant the world to him. Ken was the main provider for Tonya and Jakora, so with his passing it leaves them with a lot of financial burden.

We worked for a couple of hours, and, with my help, the children and I finished stacking at about the same time their father finished chopping. The father invited me to join them for some lemonade, which I gratefully accepted. As we sat down to visit, he introduced himself as Brent, and his wife as Wendy. When I explained the reason for my visit, Brent looked shocked. “You helped us stack wood for a couple of hours, dressed in your suit, and all you want is our phone number and email for a community directory?” “But we’re not members of your church,” Wendy said. “This is a community directory,” I said, “not a church one. We all try to help each other.” “What will you use the information for?” Brent asked. “Mostly, we’ll use it to be able to get hold of each other. As for the email, my wife has volunteered to send information to a list I will set up for her about things like when people have lost a pet, have garden produce to give away, need help, or things like that.” “That’s really strange,” Wendy said. “In the place where I grew up, I didn’t even know my neighbors’ names.” Wendy looked at Brent questioningly, and he nodded. She turned back to me and smiled. “We’ll share ours, and I think it is going to be interesting to be part of a community like this.” (To be continued) PUZZLE NO. 770

Appeals Court upholds order blocking Keystone XL Water Crossing Permit Ninth Circuit rejects push from Trump Admin, Industry to allow construction of Keystone XL and other Oil and Gas Pipelines through waterways amid appeal San Francisco, CA -- On May 29, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit left in place a district court decision blocking a key water crossing permit for Keystone XL and other oil and gas pipelines while a full appeal of the decision moves forward. In April, the US District Court in Montana ruled that the Trump administration’s Army Corps of Engineers violated bedrock environmental law when it issued Nationwide Permit 12, vacating the permit for Keystone XL and prohibiting the Corps from using this fast-tracked approval process for other pipeline projects. The Army Corps had pushed to allow approval for pipeline construction to continue during its appeal of the ruling in the
Ninth Circuit, but construction of Keystone XL and other major pipelines through rivers, streams, and wetlands will remain on hold as that appeal is heard. TC Energy also faces additional roadblocks to completing Keystone XL including other ongoing legal challenges, oil market chaos, and a recent commitment by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden to rescind the pipeline’s permit should he be elected president. “The Keystone XL pipeline threatens our water, climate, and the rural and tribal communities who depend on these irreplaceable resources,” said Dena Hoff, a Northern Plains member and Glendive, MT rancher. “We are glad the court is not allowing construction to proceed over so many of these vulnerable waterways given KXL’s Canadian owners have never proven they can meet legal standards for this dangerous pipeline.”

Montana State University providing emergency federal grants to Tester to Montana’s High School students affected by pandemic Graduates: “Plant your roots deep… and reach for the sky” Bozeman – Qualifying students at Montana State University will begin receiving federal aid payments this week to help cover eligible expenses incurred from disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic this spring. Additionally, alumni and friends have already given more than $100,000 to students in emergency grants. The federal stimulus funds are part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES. MSU received $5.3 million for direct student aid grants. The additional private funds were raised through the MSU Alumni Foundation as part of emergency student support called Bobcat Relief. Following guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, MSU focused funding on students with the highest financial need based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form, commonly known to stu-
dents and their parents as the FAFSA. Pell grant-eligible students have the highest demonstrated financial need in meeting their college costs through the FAFSA process. “Using Pell-eligibility and other need-based indicators from the FAFSA was an objective, pre-existing way for the university to quickly get dollars to those students who need help,” said Waded Cruzado, president of Montana State University. The university is dispersing approximately $300 to $900 per student to more than 7,400 students - undergraduate and graduate - depending their demonstrated financial need through their FAFSA data. The federal payments could be used to cover expenses such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care or childcare. Eligible students were sent an email May 13 with a link to a short application to confirm
their eligibility. The university will begin making payments to students May 26. Students are encouraged to respond as soon as possible but will have until June 30 to submit the simple application. “We know the pandemic has been tough on students, as many of them held jobs in fields that were shut down this spring,” Cruzado said. “They have unpaid bills, and hopefully this federal aid will provide them some relief. “I also want to thank the many alumni, friends, faculty and that have given to the Bobcat Relief fund through the MSU Alumni Foundation. To date, that fund has helped more than 200 students,” Cruzado said. “We’ve had nearly 200 extraordinary donors come forward to help our students. It’s a testament to the strength of the Bobcat family.”
Senator congratulates graduating high school senior class of 2020 in online commencement address Big Sandy - As high school seniors across the Treasure State participate in online graduation ceremonies, U.S. Senator Jon Tester donned his cap and gown to address the Class of 2020 and offer some advice: “Whatever you do next…you’ve got to keep learning. You’ve got to keep exposing yourself to new ways of thinking and doing things, after all, the world won’t ever stop changing and neither should you,” said Tester. “So keep an open mind, and listen to others who come from different backgrounds or have different experiences than you, because that’s what separates good leaders from great leaders. And I have no doubt in my mind that the lot of you will be great leaders.” With many schools forced to close their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, high schools across Montana are hosting online commencement ceremonies to celebrate students’ achievements while social distancing. Tester - a former educator and school board member - highlighted the unique challenges that graduates will face, offering a message of hope and resilience in the face of uncer-
tainty: “The world today is a whole lot different than it was when I graduated from Big Sandy High School - quite frankly it’s a whole lot different than the world we knew three months ago - but with any big change comes an entirely new set of challenges,” said Tester. “…Take it from an old farmer, there are a lot of things in life that you can’t control…So plant your roots deep, take care of each other, and reach for the sky. With some hard work and flexibility, you can change the world for the better.” Tester has been fighting tooth and nail to ensure Montana students have the resources they need to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this month, he demanded that Congress prioritize public education aid in any new coronavirus relief packages, and he secured nearly $100,000 to help Montana libraries provide online services to students. He also announced more than $41 million for Montana K-12 schools to help meet the needs of students as they transition to online learning last month, and he recently announced that the Montana Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund would receive more than $8.7 million in funding to bolster education in the state.

We do have a max capacity in the pool of like 25, but I don’t think we have ever had that many people in the pool at once.” She added that the 25-person capacity is under current COVID rules. The pool’s normal capacity is about 100 people. She also said that the current capacity is what the Public Health officials are comfortable with. When it comes to swimming lessons, the pool will probably be open for swimming lessons sometime in July, depending on the restrictions in place by the governor at that time, Waldbillig said. “It is going to be pretty difficult to run our classes like normal. We will have some type of swim lessons this summer, we just don’t know what that is going to look like just yet.” “Under Phase 2, all aquatic classes are limited, just like youth activities, to up to ten participants,” she said. “As far as our aquatic classes, we are waiting for further instructions at this point.” There will be 13 lifeguards staffing the pool when it opens, Waldbillig said. She noted that there will be three on duty at any time so they could rotate. “We want to make sure that they are staying focused.” When it comes to people using the slide, there will be only a few changes, she said. “It will still be one at a time on the slide. “Really, the only difference will be spacing. We don’t want them to congregate at the top to wait for their turn, so we’ll make sure they are kind of staggered downstairs instead of waiting at the top.” “Please be aware we will have very low water pressure over the

When checking in, you will be asked to stand back from the counter as staff signs you in and verifies your membership status. •Each room has a posted maximum capacity, and staff will be enforcing room capacities as well as enforcing six feet of spacing between individuals using equipment. •Every other cardio machine will be closed for use, and members will be asked to keep a one machine distance from other users in the machine weight room. •Now more than ever, please be sure you are wiping down all of your equipment after your workout. Staff will be stationed throughout the facility and will be sanitizing equipment, however you are the first line of defense.

Survey: Montana tourism anxious as COVID-19 impacts continue, travelers feel safer Missoula - Perhaps you heard an overwhelming sigh of relief from Montana tourism businesses when Gov. Steve Bullock announced the June 1 lifting of the 14-day quarantine for people driving into Montana. Forty-four percent of tourism business owners said they have six months or less to survive if the current conditions continued, and another 22% said they could last up to a year. This is according to a business survey conducted May 6-8 by the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research at the University of Montana. Additionally, potential travelers to Montana and Montana residents are slightly more likely to travel than they were one month ago. That was before the end date of the 14-day quarantine was announced. This uptick in travel interest showed that 81% of Montanan’s are likely to travel away from home, yet within the state, over the summer. As for travelers to Montana, large majorities of trips to the state were canceled or not booked through May. Moving further into the summer, travelers are holding off on canceling and watching conditions as they consider their travel plans. “Our survey results suggest that following a lifting of the 14-day quarantine period, we will see a bump up in the number of travelers venturing to Montana,” said ITRR Associate Director Jeremy Sage. It has been a rough couple of months for tourism-related business owners and times remain tough for those seeking jobs in the travel industry this summer. The ITRR survey found that, on average, eight positions per travel business will not be filled for the near future. Out of the 440 respondents, these businesses alone will not hire 1,575 full-time jobs, 779 part-time jobs and 1,904 seasonal jobs that they typically fill in the summer. Preparing for survival was a common theme from various types of businesses. One respondent wrote, “Compared to previous years, I’ve lowered the quantity of supplies ordered for the season and am not hiring the usual staff. This fall I will have to lay off most staff, which has never been done before, in order to make it through the winter.” Less inventory, reducing workforce, applying for government aid or closing the doors completely were responses to how they can survive. “This was the third business survey we conducted in two months to gauge the impact of COVID-19 on Montana’s travel-related business,” ITRR Director Norma Nickerson said. “If I were to summarize in a word or two the sentiment from each survey, it would be ‘slightly worried’ in mid-March, ‘frightened’ at the end of March and ‘angry’ in early May.” By May, business owners felt helpless with little hope, she said. Many blamed that on the 14-day quarantine. On the other hand, some business owners said, “Not too fast.” One
Dickinson, ND – At its monthly meeting May 29, the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) approved Dickinson State University’s (DSU) request to adopt a simplified tuition rate structure for undergraduate credits. Early this year, the University’s administration began reviewing tuition rates and fees for the upcoming 2020-21 academic year to address concerns regarding the differential treatment of face-to-face and online classes and the complex nature of added fees based on course enrollment type. In an effort to simplify the existing tuition model and address these concerns, a committee was formed to explore and recommend a solution. The committee established that a two-rate (resident and non-resident), per-credit tuition model would best serve students. “The new model allows for
residents of contiguous states and provinces to attend DSU at the same tuition rate as North Dakota residents. DSU serves North Dakota and the region, so this gives the University a strategic competitive advantage to attract nearby out-of-state students,” said DSU President Steve Easton. “Taking this action also enables us to simplify tuition for the students by allowing them to pay for the credits they take without encountering unanticipated fees for online or distance education courses.” In the new tuition model, DSU students will pay for their tuition per-credit, based on their residency. Tuition per credit will be the same whether courses are taken online or face-to-face and regardless of the number of credits taken. The former model was complicated by a credit cap as well as a complex fee structure associated with online courses. “This is an extremely positive

•Cost is per credit hour enrolled •Cost per credit is $249 for resident (ND, MT, SD, MN, SK, MB) and $319 for non-resident students •No additional access fee (beyond mandatory course fees applicable to all courses) for online or distance education credits “The new tuition model will allow professional advisors and faculty to more easily advise current and prospective students, creating a clear educational and financial plan to help them reach their academic goals,” said Marie Moe, Vice President for Student Affairs and University Relations. “We believe adopting this tuition model will make DSU an even more attractive option for students.” For more information on tuition rates and the cost to attend DSU, visit http://www.dickinsonstate.edu/tuition.

wrote: “I have no interest in reopening too quickly. I’ve read enough to believe that we’ll bounce back faster, economically, if we keep to tighter restrictions now (analysis of the 1918 pandemic) and believe that’s a smarter way to proceed. I don’t want to see communities in Montana filling up with tourists (out or in-state) until we know that the pandemic is truly under control, meaning (to my current thinking) next year sometime. I think this summer tourist season is a bust, and we should all make plans to ensure that we both help that be a reality and plan for our own businesses accordingly. We’re playing the long game here.” Travelers, too, have evolving perceptions of the risks of the pandemic. Through March, health concerns for themselves and their communities steadily increased. However, by May those concerns began to taper. Economic concerns though, have not. More than 70% expressed they are extremely concerned about the economy, which is up from 41% in March. “If there is any economic silver lining, it is that Montana is largely a drive market for visitors, and they are indicating an increased interest in driving to destinations this summer versus flying,” Sage said. “This will all, of course, have to be played out in balance with continued health threats for travelers and the Montanans they come in contact with.” For a review of the business survey, visit https://bit.ly/MTBizR3 and https://scholarworks.umt.edu/itrr_pubs/408.

FWP to open offices, visitor centers to customers June 3
As the state moves into Phase 2 of Gov. Steve Bullock’s Reopening the Big Sky Plan, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks offices and visitor centers opened to the public June 3. FWP offices have been closed since late March due to Montana’s COVID-19 pandemic response. As the public returns, strict adherence to Phase 2 guidelines will be critical: stay at home if you feel sick, make sure to frequently wash and sanitize your hands, and maintain at least six feet of distance from other people. FWP front offices around the state will be set up to help facilitate these simple guidelines, including marking floors to help keep people spaced out, providing hand sanitizer for customers, and glass dividers between front counter staff and customers. “We’re looking forward to having our customers back in our regional and local lobbies and visitor centers,” said FWP Director Martha Williams. “We’ve worked hard to prepare our buildings to keep our public and staff safe.” Please note that many FWP employees are still working remotely, so for business beyond front desk license purchases and other related information, please plan to reach out to the appropriate staff member directly by phone or email or ask front desk staff for contact information. For more information on FWP’s COVID-19 response, please go online to fwp.mt.gov/COVID19.

Helena – As Montanans are turning to locally sourced food in the face of possible disruptions caused by the COVID-19 virus, the Montana Department of Livestock cautions the public against consumption of raw (unpasteurized) milk and raw milk products. “While milk is an excellent source of protein, vitamins and calcium essential for healthy bone growth, unpasteurized milk has been linked to numerous food borne disease outbreaks,” says Rosemary Hickey, Milk and Egg Bureau Registered Sanitarian. “Because of health concerns, raw milk and raw milk products produced on your farm should only be offered for consumption to your immediate family.” Despite previous disruptions to the supply chain, Montana pasteurized milk and dairy products remain plentiful in our
grocery stores and many convenience stores. “We’re lucky in Montana, in that we have producers of all sizes not only supplying milk, but making cow, goat, and sheep cheeses and other dairy products,” says Mike Honeycutt, Executive Officer of the Montana Department of Livestock. The Administrative Rules of Montana prohibit the sale of raw milk to consumers for any purpose. In order to sell or give away product, one needs to be licensed by the Department of Livestock’s Milk & Egg Bureau (ARM 32.8.103 & Title 81-21101). The Centers for Disease Control advises against consumption of raw (unpasteurized) milk because of ‘severe health risks. Learn more at https://www.cdc. gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/rawmilk-index.html.
State officials encourage safe handling of live poultry Raising backyard poultry has become an increasingly popular activity in Montana. Spring is a common season to purchase and begin raising young birds, and there are many feed stores in Montana that sell chicks and ducks. While there are benefits to raising poultry, there are also associated health risks. Poultry can carry and shed bacteria such as Salmonella without showing any signs of disease. Salmonella can cause illness in humans and can be spread while handling live poultry or objects in their environment. Montana has already investigated multiple cases of salmonellosis this year among people who had contact to chicks before they became ill. The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and the Department of Livestock (DOL) encourage safe handling of live poultry to prevent potential human illness using these simple prevention methods: •Wash your hands with soap and water after handling animals •Avoid touching your mouth after animal contact •Don’t eat or drink around animals •Avoid kissing or snuggling your birds •Keep chicks and ducks outside of the home •Supervise small children around animals Year to date in 2020, there
have been 36 cases of salmonellosis reported in Montana. Of those, 31% have had contact to live poultry in the days before becoming ill, which is a higher proportion of salmonellosis cases linked to contact with live poultry then normal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is also investigating a multi-state outbreak of salmonellosis cases linked to contact with live poultry. Montana has six cases that are confirmed to be part of this outbreak. “Even if animals appear healthy and clean, they can still transmit disease to people,” said Rachel Hinnenkamp, epidemiologist for the DPHHS Public Health and Safety Division. Children under five and people with weakened immune systems, such as pregnant women, the elderly, and those with chronic disease, are at the highest risk for infection and should avoid handling live poultry. “When caring for backyard flocks, these prevention methods will help keep you and your families healthy and enjoying the benefits of raising animals,” said DOL Program Veterinarian Dr. Anna Forseth. “While using proper safety precautions, raising your own backyard poultry can be a fun and safe experience.” Please visit www.dphhs. mt.gov for guidance and more information.

Did you know … that the CARES Act includes protections for your credit report? Under the CARES Act, when a consumer negotiates a forbearance or other arrangement, the creditor must continue to report that account on your credit report in the same way it was reported before Covid-19. This reporting protection applies from January 31, 2020 through 120 days after the end of the declared national Covid-19 emergency. This means that if your account was current prior to this time frame, it should still be reported as current. If you reach an agreement like this with a creditor, you should do whatever you can to document that agreement. Take detailed notes during any phone contact with a creditor and write down the employee names and identification numbers you talk to. Save all emails and take screenshots of any other type of electronic communication with a creditor. To learn more, check out the COVID-19 section on MontanaLawHelp.org.

MSU remains school of choice for high-achieving students from Montana
Bozeman - Nearly 74% of the top academically ranked high school scholars from across the state have indicated they plan to attend Montana State University in the fall. The Montana University System Honor Scholarship was awarded to 214 Montana high school seniors this year. While those students may use the scholarship at any of the state’s colleges, universities or two-year institutions, 158 of the 214 students have stated that they plan to attend MSU this fall, according to Ronda Russell, MSU director of admissions. The MUS scholarship is a renewable scholarship that covers the cost of tuition for up to four years for top students from Montana high schools, based on grade point averages and college entrance exam scores. Eligible students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.4 after seven semesters in high school to apply. The scholarship’s average value at a four-year Montana campus is $5,000 a year or $20,000 for four years. Russell noted that, for the last ten years, the largest share of the MUS Honor Scholarship recipients have enrolled at MSU. “We are honored and humbled to have the talented students of Montana continue to choose MSU to further their education,” Russell said. “We’re thrilled to have these students join us on our campus and are committed to helping them succeed.”
