School off to good start under new COVID guidelines By Brad Mosher

Local schools have started the new school year, walking a proverbial tightrope between meeting the educational and health needs of the students, the faculty, the staff and the parents. In an age of COVID-19 guidelines established by state and local health officials, students are returning to their campuses in Fallon County. In Plevna, the students have returned and have adapted to the changes made to mitigate the possibility of any exposure, according to the school superintendent, Nick Schumacher. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to use our continual improvement process. We have our plan in place. We implement our plan. We collect data on how things are going and make little adjustments to it,” he explained Tuesday. The school is following the guidelines on its back to school plan which was approved by the school board, according to the superintendent. If a student says he is not feeling well, the student’s temperature is taken in the office. The student would first be evaluated by the teacher and sent to the office, Rasmussen explained. “Any student with a temperature above 100 degrees would be sent home for the day. The fever needs to be controlled for more than 24 hours without medication before the student is eligible to go back to school. “On the last page of our back to school plan we do have a daily health screening checklist that is a resource for parents that they can use when their child is not feeling well,” the superintendent said. “There have little bumps along the way, but we have very understanding students. Many of our faculty and staff are willing to go above and beyond … and do whatever it takes to meet the needs of the kids. “Our kids really deserve our very best this year,” Schumacher stressed. “We offer two educational choices this school year.... on-site with physical distancing or a real-time synchronous off-site instruction,” he said. Most of the students enrolled in Plevna are in the on-site teaching plan. A small group of students and families have made the off-site instruction decision, he said. The school has made some small changes to the plan since the students returned to the campus Aug. 20, but the plan is continuing to hold. “Our plan is continuing to make the best environment possible for educating our students this year.” The school is continuing to review the back to school plan, he added.
“We collect data and information based upon the implementation of the plan and constantly make small changes to make the plan better fit the needs of our kids,” the superintendent explained. Baker students return The faculty and administration at Baker have seen students return to campus for the first time in about six months. The school, students and faculty have adapted well to the new setup in the district, according to Superintendent Aaron Skogen. There are a few students and families who have opted for the off-site learning plan, according to the superintendent. “As of right now, things have been going pretty well, as planned,” he said Wednesday morning. “Obviously, it is a new situation for all of us and each kid has got to keep more space between them than they normally would have done. But, we had a lot of planning which went into the opening before we got to this point.” “I think we had a good framework ahead of time.” The students have been able to adapt to the new normal. “The students have been really good. We have sanitized every time before we leave the classroom when we are changing periods.” “When we are in the hallways, all the students and staff wear a mask. Our students and staff have been great at doing that,” he said. “We have been very fortunate to keep our bell schedule and our day schedule moving.” The school has been busy preparing for the return of the students, at all levels, the superintendent explained. “Our principals have been busy making minor adjustments here and there …. things that just needed to be tweaked or things they wanted to try.” “For example, our food service has been a big adjustment for us because we don’t have everyone eating in the cafeteria. We are delivering some meals to Lincoln Elementary for them to eat there. We do have some in the cafeteria.” “Our middle school – seventh and eighth grade – they will go to the cafeteria and eat in the cafeteria. For our nine through 12 (students), we open up our complex in our lobby and concession areas – put some tables out. We bring meals up to them,” the superintendent explained. “Normally, we had everybody just eating together. Now, it is staggered to where we have limited numbers,” he explained. He praised the food service workers for their ability to adapt to the new situation and requirements. “They have been phenomenal. They are working really hard to help us straighten all this out.,” he said.
New vocational teacher brings wealth of experience
Staff Report
There are many sides to Baker’s new driving instructor. Terry Roelfsema had been retired, but decided to head back into the classroom. The draw of eastern Montana was just too strong. Roelfsema has signed on to teach
woodworking, construction, sheet metal, electrical/electronics, drafting and at the middle school, in addition to his time behind the wheel of a car. An Army veteran who served in the Signal Corps, he got his Bachelor degree in vocational education at the University of Wyoming in 1981. The following year, he was teaching in Gillette. Over the years since, Roelfsema moved into private industry and even became a minister. Roelfsema has taught Automotive Technology in Miles City and General Industrial Arts in Terry. It was that knowledge and affinity for eastern Montana which called him back to teaching, he said. “I was retired and living north of Sheridan, WY where my wife of 46 years and I own a home.”
“I accepted the teaching job in Baker because I taught several years in eastern Montana and really love this part of the state because in many ways it is like eastern Wyoming. The kids here are great and terrific to work with.” “I am passionate about Vocational Education and getting students excited about skilled trades,” he added. “As a driver’s education teacher, I want to prepare drivers to drive in a manner that they are citation and collision free throughout their driving years,” he added. Roelfsema and his wife have three daughters, seven grandchildren, five of whom are boys with the oldest 21 and the youngest is three weeks old. Roelfsema also has a Masters of Education from Montana State University-Billings (2007) and another masters from Liberty University.

Carter County entering Stage 1 fire restrictions
OBITUARIES
William Freeman Sheehan, Jr, 75
By Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks
Effective Friday, Aug. 8, at midnight, Carter County will enter Stage 1 fire restrictions. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks follows the county’s lead in placing fire restrictions on its properties within that county, so campfire and smoking restrictions also will be in place at Medicine Rocks State Park. Under Stage 1 restrictions, building, maintaining, attending or using a fire or campfire at FWP sites is not allowed. People also may not smoke except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is cleared of flammable materials. Recreationists may cook on a liquid petroleum gas or propane stove that can be turned on and off. These restrictions will be in place until further notice. FWP urges people to use caution while they are out recreating due to dry conditions and fire dangers.

Boen Allan Wise-
Hallie and Seth Wiseman, of Westby, are proud to announce the arrival of their son, Boen Allan. Boen Allan was born Aug. 15, 2020 at the Glendive Medical Center. He weighed 7 lbs. and measured 20” long. Boen was welcomed by his sister Adaleigh who is three. She is the granddaughter of Bruce and Chris Westgard of Westby and Dave and Sonja Wiseman of Baker.
William Freeman Sheehan Jr “Bill”, 75, passed away July 26, 2020 at home with his wife of 51 years by his side. Bill was born on Oct. 12, 1944 in Baker, MT. He was the only son born to William and Margit (Engstrom) Sheehan. He joined four sisters, and after he arrived, four more sisters were born. As an only son with eight sisters might do, Bill built himself a two room house in the backyard while in the 8th grade. This proved to be good practice for the two homes he would later build as an adult for his family. Bill attended school at Baker High School and Sheridan High School graduating in 1963. While in High School, Bill was honored in a leadership program through Boys State. He then suffered a horrific accident that burned over
50% of his body. He was not expected to live but God intervened and he made a miraculous recovery. At one point, to the doctors amazement, he even grew new skin. The road to recovery was long, but he was able to graduate from high school, even achieving the honor of class Valedictorian. After graduation he attended Montana State University Bozeman and graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1969. During his sophomore year of college, his mother died. His father later married Patricia Hall and Bill welcomed her as his second mother along with his new siblings Mark Hall and Faith Helwig. His family moved to Philipsburg, MT and it was here, while home on Thanksgiving break in 1967, that Bill met his beloved bride-to-be Delanita Vose. They married in a beautiful ceremony at St. Timothy Chapel on July 11, 1969. Bill was then hired by Univac which led the happy couple to St. Paul, MN, where they soon started a family. In the summer of 1977, Bill and Delanita moved to Pasco, WA. The Department of Energy bought a computer from Univac and Bill was brought out west to head that division. Bill went on to work for Boeing Computer Services and Lockheed Martin. In the summer of 1987, Bill planned and organized a six week trip; taking his family all over the US. In a time before online banking and automatic bill payer, this was certainly a feat! Some of his kid’s favorite childhood memories were made on this trip. Bill was a hard-working man who was gifted in building, fixing and problem-solving. He once even built a Bradley GT kit car in his garage. He
was honest and a man of integrity. After retiring Bill enjoyed traveling with his wife, family and friends. Many trips included visits to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, and camping around the US. He also volunteered his time to help people do their taxes. Bill loved the Lord and had a very sincere heart. He was led to the Lord by his father at quite a young age. Oftentimes growing up, his family would gather to sing and play instruments. He sang beautifully and ministered with music as a church music director for many years. He played guitar, trombone and loved to tinker on the piano. He leaves an amazing heritage of family, faith, love, and music! Family was at the heart of who he was. He loved his family! Bill, our Papa, was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all. Bill was preceded in death by his father William Sheehan, Sr, mother Margit Sheehan, sisters Esther Wellborn, Kathy Pals, Ruth Drown, Helen VanEaton and second mother, Patricia Sheehan. Bill is survived and is dearly loved and missed by his wife Delanita Sheehan, his four children, William Sheehan III “Bill” (Jana) Sheehan, Paul (Laurie) Sheehan, Kara (James) Goddard, Erin (Nathan) Sheeran. Twenty-two grandchildren and two great grandsons. Sisters, Anne Shelden, Margy (Dave) Leslie, Faith Helwig, twins Patricia Wintle and Michal (David) Mast and brother Mark (Judy) Hall, many nieces, nephews, and cousins as well as aunts and uncles. His body was laid to rest at Riverview Heights Cemetery in Kennewick, Washington on July 31, 2020. A memorial service is planned for a later date.

Student thoughts about returning to school Introducing the BHS Publications Staff Olivia Gunderson Grade: 12th Are you excited to be back at school and in person with your peers? “Oh yeah, I really learn better in person and I have more motivation.” How do you feel about wearing masks? “It’s kind of hard to breathe, but I see the logic behind it I guess.” Do you enjoy using a Chromebook all day long? “Yeah, it’s not bad. I didn’t like the small touchpad but I got a mouse. Everything is more accessible all the time now.” What are your worries/concerns coming up for the rest of the school year? “I’m scared it’s going to be shut back down and we are going to be forced to do it online.” Camryn Collins Grade: 11th Are you excited to be back at school and in person with your peers? “Yes, because I get to see my friends and play sports.” How do you feel about wearing masks? “If I have to be at school, I don’t really care. I’ll survive.”

No, because it makes my head hurt some days.” What are your worries/concerns coming up for the rest of the school year? “That I can’t play sports this year” Cayla Duke Grade: 10 Are you excited to be back at school and in person with your peers? “Yes, I missed everyone!” How do you feel about wearing masks? “It makes me have panic attacks sometimes but it’s okay. ” Do you enjoy using a Chromebook all day long? “Yes, it’s nice just to have one and not have to switch for other classes.” What are your worries/concerns coming up for the rest of the school year? “If people won’t follow rules then we have to go online.

Passing students
By Hillary Frank
one-to-one with Chromebooks all day long. This means they all have their very own device that travels with them all day at school, as well as at night when they are expected to recharge for the next morning. This allows all students to have technology access and be connected whenever needed. With the potential for more distance learning to come, teachers are making sure to focus much of their instruction through these devices right now. Students will then be ready to learn online at a moment’s notice and can transition to this in the event that full distance learning happens again. One thing is for certain from all of this, both students and teachers will be far more experienced with online learning than ever before. Though many uncertainties remain for the upcoming school year, students and teachers continue to be hopeful. Most understand that these guidelines exist so that everyone can be physically back in the building to learn and socialize with one another. This school year will bring many new challenges but it has already given us an appreciation for our peers and the interactions we have with one another each and every day.
~~ Back to School despite the odds ~~
The thrill of returning back to school looks quite different this year for many students and teachers. They now deal with the prospect of social distancing, wearing masks, continually sanitizing, and potentially changing plans at a moment’s notice. Yet after returning to the building this past Thursday, many were just happy to finally catch up with one another and return to some normalcy. There will be many changes and new “norms” in the building, but everyone is in agreement that going to school in person is still an important thing for us all. Students and teachers have many new rules and guidelines to follow this school year when it comes to interacting with one another. Mask wearing has become a new routine, being required when in the hallways and when working in small groups. Teachers will also be making sure to “mask-up” when working one-on-one with their students. This may not seem ideal, however we are truly fortunate compared to other schools that have mask requirements all day long. Disinfecting surfaces and ourselves are also tasks that we all have to get used to now. After each class period, students and teachers must wipe down all desks and surfaces used before the next class is able to enter the room. This can be a mad rush some days as we get busy and forget, but hopefully soon it will just become a normal daily routine. One change that benefits students this year is that they are now

FFA members spreading compost for their garden.
On May 27, members of the Plevna FFA, Mrs. Schumacher, Mrs. McSorley, and Mrs. Menees started breaking ground on a new garden for Plevna Schools. The team started at 8 a.m. by laying down cardboard to prevent weeds from growing on Plevna School’s plot of land, north of the school’s track. Next, they added a mixture of compost and dirt on top of the cardboard. The Plevna FFA members helped spread the mixture of compost and dirt with shovels and rakes. Mrs. Menees had the team stop for the day at 1 p.m., but they

continued the work the next day. On May 28, Mrs. Menees, Mrs. Schumacher, and members of the Plevna FFA continued working on the new school garden as they finished spreading the compost and dirt that was donated by the Milk Creek Reds Ranch. After finishing their task of spreading compost and dirt, they moved on to the fun activity of planting the courtyard’s raised beds at the school. The FFA members planted a variety of vegetables and herbs: tomatoes, peppers, green beans, peas, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, radishes, squash, lavender, cilantro, parsley, basil, dill, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and onions. All of these
plants will be used in Plevna School lunches. On June 3, Mrs. Menees, Mrs. Schumacher, Mrs. McSorley, and members of the Plevna FFA reconvened and finished planting the new garden with a variety of different vegetables: beets, carrots, onions, tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, cantaloupes, watermelons, cauliflower, potatoes, and cucumbers. The watering system used to hydrate the garden is a water barrel that supplies a gravity feed hose. The Plevna Volunteer Fire Department is very kind to donate the water to fill the barrel. So far, the team has harvested zucchini, yellow squash, and pumpkins to use in school lunches.

A Perspective on Public Hearings though at rare times the Council, City Attorney or presenter will offer clarification. To better understand why answers are not given at the time of the hearing, in a practical sense consider the tendency of the attendees to assume the matter is already settled if all the questions have ready answers or that the Council is being defensive of a certain position. Also consider that a quick answer may not address the full issue or give an incomplete or misleading explanation of the impacts, considerations or research into the matter at hand. There may also be the tendency to relate the quiet acknowledgement of the council to a question or comment as a brush off or rejection of the speakers point. The decision making process from idea to approval involves data gathering, consultation, discussion, proposal, legal review, presentation, Public Hearing, review of all data including public input by the assigned committee, additional legal review, addition to the agenda, presentation of proposal/resolution in an open meeting, motion and second to adopt, amend, table or set aside, discussion and possible legal advice and a call for the vote on the matter. Some require multiple
readings at Council meetings. As you can see, there is a lot of deliberation and review before final adoption. In the middle of the process is that aforementioned Public Hearing to get input from the public. It is critical to have that public have the right to give input, unhindered or distracted by comments by the City Council. It is equally critical that the committee and City Council have a clear record of the data and opinions offered by the public to complete their deliberations as thoroughly as possible. Open meeting laws in Montana are some of the most stringent in the country. The citizens can be assured that any matter of city ordinances, fees, taxes, and special improvements affecting the community and its citizens is handled transparently with full disclosure. A major part of that is flow of communication – Public Hearings are the citizen’s tool to collaborate with each other and present their opinions and suggestions in a setting where they can also hear what others have to say. And the best tool for the City Council to view the big picture we’ve all chosen to live in. Steve Zachmann Mayor, City of Baker

Will political changes affect the economy By Jim Cusimano, Big Sky Financial Planning Group
Election years cause some anxiety. With all of the storm and stress of the year 2020, you’d be forgiven if you momentarily forgot that we’re due for another national election in November. Many states will be selecting governors, representatives, and senators, while the country itself will be voting in the presidential election. Even though these elections happen every four years, they often breed uncertainty or anxiety about the financial

markets and other investment matters. Some of our personal political beliefs may be informed by our economic worldview. For that reason, it’s natural that presidential elections are seen as potential turning points for the economy. It’s important to keep in mind that while the White House has enormous influence on economic policy, ambitious policies frequently find challenges in the legislative and judicial branches. It’s also important to keep

New Plevna School Garden

A Public Hearing is part of the process of passing Resolutions that will affect or are of interest to the citizens and public of the community. There have been a number of Hearings this past year and it serves as both a way to inform those in the community as well as gauge the public opinion on matters of city infrastructure, streets, ordinances and policy. One rule of these official Hearings is that they are to be just that – hearings. The City Council takes comments verbally, in written letter or email during a set time before a formal decision is made and gathers them along with other input that they will consider in their deliberations. During the Public Hearing, comments are taken in a controlled fashion balancing the individual attendee’s right to speak with the number of others wishing to speak with a reasonable amount of time for all to have an opportunity. Each person is allowed to speak twice if needed and all are asked not to repeat points already made although they can stand and add their endorsement of comments already made. The frustrating part for the attendees may be that often a question is asked and a reply is not given. That is by design and by rule al-

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is standing up a new team that will lead a department-wide effort focused on serving beginning farmers and ranchers. To institutionalize support for beginning farmers and ranchers and to build upon prior agency work, the 2018 Farm Bill directed USDA to create a national coordinator position in the agency and state-level coordinators for four of its agencies - Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Risk Management Agency (RMA), and Rural Development (RD). Faith Hill was selected as the USDA Beginning Farmer Rancher state coordinator in Montana. Hill is a beginning farmer. Born and raised in Montana, she grew up with a love for the livestock industry. Hill and her husband have a handful of commercial cattle and are trying to find their place in agriculture. For the past two years, Hill has been a civil engineer for the NRCS. She is passionate about Montana agriculture, conservation, her family’s role in producing food and fiber for the world and preserving the rural life they hold dear. Others on the team coordinating Montana’s beginning farmers and rancher efforts include, Kris Nicholson, farm loan manager with USDA Farm Service Agency; John Lockie, risk management specialist with USDA Risk Management Agency; and Marlee Sandry, business and community programs intern with USDA Rural Development. This is a collateral duty for all team members. Each state coordinator will receive training and develop tailored beginning farmer outreach plans for their state. Coordinators will help field employees better reach and serve beginning farmers and ranchers and will also be available to assist beginning farmers who need help navigating the variety of resources USDA has to offer. More on beginning farmers and ranchers Twenty-seven percent of farmers and ranchers were categorized as new and beginning producers, with ten years or less of experience in agriculture, according to the 2017 Census of Agriculture. USDA offers a variety of farm loan, risk management, disaster assistance, and conservation programs to support farmers, including beginning farmers and ranchers. Additionally, a number of these programs have provisions specifically for beginning farmers, including targeted funding for loans and conservation programs as well as waivers and exemptions.
