Thank you Billings for taking an active part in protecting yourself and others by staying home when you are able, maintaining social distancing, and doing your part to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Our continued “we’re in this together � attitude will help get us thro ugh this very challenging time.

We have been encouraged to see how our community has pulled together in solidarity, neighbors helping neighbo rs. It is in this spirit that we offer this joint message of encouragement and call to action on behalf of our local business community.

Small businesses are the backbone of Yell owstone County. In fact over 99% of businesses in Montana are small businesses, and they need our support now more than ever. Local businesses (esp ecially our hotels, restaurants, event venues, and retail stores) are experiencin g great financial hardship at this time.

While many have closed or modified thei r operations in order to help mitigate the spread of the virus, we are all looking ahead to when they will once again be able to open their doors. And they need our help.

We encourage you to continue to find safe and creative ways to support our local businesses that are the hardest hit during this time. Many restaurants have pivoted by offering drive-thru, carr yout and delivery options, so grab lunch to go or order dinner from a local eatery.

Go online and buy a gift card from your favorite local retailer for later use or to give to a friend. Our businesses need your support, and they need it NOW. Governor Bullock released his phased app roach to reopening the state of Montana. While taking responsible steps and precautions, we encourage you to follow the guidelines and begin supporting one another again. Prepare to purposefully walk in the front door of a loca l business and tell them thank you. Buy something, or lots of somethings. When doors reopen, give our local businesses affirmation, gratitude and business. The y need it now more than ever before.

If you are a local business owner, please reach out to the Billings Chamber of Commerce or Big Sky Economic Dev elopment. We will do our best to connect you to services that can help your bus iness during this time. Use the countywide Economic Recovery Website as you r one-stop resource to navigate these times: https://yceconomicrecovery.org /.

And, thank you for your years of service to our community, helping to drive our loca l economy.

Take care.

Pat’s Corner: Thanks For Shopping Local!

This is the time to be thinking about your soil. If you are wanting to build raised beds for the first time be sure to look for a spot that gets plenty of sun. Most vegetables want 6-10 hours a day of direct sunlight to be happy. You may be getting more or less light than you think so keep an eye on the sun as it travels around your yard during the day. Design your beds with convenience and functionally in mind, can you easily reach across the bed to work on the plants, will the spot be easy to water, how deep should the bed be, what kind of soil to use? Most veggies need about 16-18” of rich well drained soil with a good percentage of organic material from compost. When you first fill a new raised bed consider using several layers of cardboard or newspaper in the bottom to reduce

weeds and draw worms to your beds.

Worms love to come to that kind of cool wet area. If your boxes are deeper than 18” consider filling the bottom with compostable material like twigs, grass clippings, straw or other non-diseased yard waste you may have. I would not use wet leaves unless they have been shredded as they can form a soggy mat that will not drain well. Fresh green weeds with no seed heads make great compost. Don’t use purslane or weeds that spread by root clump! I think bagged potting soil is a bit light for large garden boxes and will dry out too quickly which can make it hard to keep up with the watering. We have native topsoil, a good compost and an amended soil available by the cubic yard that makes a good mix for raised boxes.

We are trying to keep a good stock of fruit trees and fruit plants on hand and introduce fruiting plants you may not have thought of. This year we are trying Sea Buckthorn. Sea Buckthorn, Hippophae rhamniodes, (no I can’t pronounce that) is said to be a good source of vitamins and antioxidants and doesn’t mind our clay and alkaline soil. Sounds like a win win!

We also have every kind of berry you can think of that grows in our area.

Planting fruit trees is a labor of love as they take a bit to come into fruiting.

We do have some larger size apple varieties that will get you to fruiting sooner than starting with a smaller size. Fruit plants are still arriving and most should be here by Mother’s Day. You know that I can keep talking about rootstock and pollination so give us a call if you have questions.

Even though I work in the plant business I like to go home and work in the yard. It is like therapy to prune, water and pull weeds. Besides, I am already covered with dirt from work so why not? Being out in the sunshine with my hands in the soil improves my mood and helps me sleep better.

My husband is famous for saying it all looks like firewood to him, but he always likes it when our friends admire the yard.

Don’t forget that 98% of our ‘store’ is outdoors and we are happy to help or just have you stop in to wander around and enjoy whatever spring has sprung this week.

thing she does is keep a gardening journal each year. That lets her review her success or problems and reminds her what varieties she did or didn’t like. It also helps her remember what was where last year so she can rotate her crops to reduce soil borne problems.

To our vvalued City Brew customers during the CO COVID-19 pandemic: Since our first stor store opening in Billings, in 1998, City Brew has been proud to serve Montana and the Mountain-West r est regions.

Each day, we strive to deliver coffee and a smile directly to your table or car window!

At City Brew, Br , the health, safety and well-being of our team, our customers, and our communities is our top priority.. Our team is focused on creating cr a safe environment for all by following all CDC guidelines ar announced. When possible, we implement practices and updating our policies as new guidelines are exceeding suggested government guidelines. Yet, Y these extraordinary times require extraordinary efforts.

Br forts. Our City Brew team has risen to new levels of service through this dynamic environment. As recognition of the exceptional ef ecognition effort, beginning April 1st all our hourly employees received a $2/hour pay raise.

We suf e know many companies have suffered from the crippling effects of COVID-19. We have made every effort to remain in emain open as an Essential Business in the food and beverage industry.

Gratefully, we are still employing hundreds of team members throughout Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. We feel privileged to serve our local communities, fellow food service workers, health care workers, first responders, law enforcement, and military.

We understand that some employees may not feel comfortable working in these uncertain times. As such, any employee who chooses not to work will maintain their employment status with City Brew until she or he is comfortable returning. In addition, we are assisting our team members in identifying all financial resources available at the local, state, and federal levels. Clearly, we could not do what we do without our amazing employees!

City Brew is born and roasted in Montana. Our values are a reflection of the communities we proudly serve, namely serving with kindness. We are humbled by the overwhelming support we have received from our team, customers and communities. From our City Brew family to yours, we thank you for your patience, loyalty, and support as we work together navigating these unique times.

Make Your Home Healthier & More Comfortable!

IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY

DUCT SEALING SYSTEM THAT SEALS DUCTS FROM THE INSIDE • Aeroseal is a proven technology that measurably improves the air quality in your home • Reduces allergens, dust and other contaminants that cause health problems • Less frequent duct cleaning

IMPROVE AIRFLOW FROM FURNACE • Aeroseal technology helps remove “dead zones” so your home is comfortable throughout • Sealed duct work insures maximum airflow to your registers

SAVE MONEY ON YOUR ENERGY BILLS • Sealed duct work can save up to 30% on energy bills • Since 2010 it is mandatory to seal all new home duct work

How It Works: Our innovative technology evaluates the exact amount of leakage in the system, and identifies and targets the cracks and leaks in your air vent system that you can’t see and can’t reach so they can be sealed, making it the best solution for your home, your family and the environment.

The sealing formula itself is safe, non-toxic and made of the same material that is found in chewing gum and baby pacifiers. Aeroseal doesn’t coat your whole air vent system, it focuses on just the cracks and leaks and fills them.

Aeroseal is durable and proven to last for decades, with a formal certification when the work is done.

We also provide DUCT CLEANING and DRYER VENT CLEANING
