It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
By Shannon Johnson
The Christmas season is in full swing in Baker, with the Country Christmas Countdown underway. The festivities began with the Lighting of the Holiday Lights at McClain Park on Nov. 23. The park was filled with Christmas cheer as kids ran and played, and adults chatted and listened to Christmas music. Thanksgiving week was a busy
week for holiday events, with Xi Alpha Nu’s annual Holiday Bazaar held on Nov. 24 at the Baker High School Gymnasium. The next day the FMC Festival of Trees began at Thee Garage. On Nov. 29, the first night of the late-night store openings began, with stores staying open until 7 p.m.., just in time for Small Business Saturday. The snowfall over Thanksgiving paved the way for a quiet cozy workweek to follow, with the only holiday event being the Baker Elementary Concerts on Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., and the Plevna School Concert at 6:30 p.m. This weekend everything is going to be back in full swing, with Santa making a pit stop Saturday, Dec. 7, 10 a.m. 2 p.m. at Russell’s Clothing for pictures, as well as the Santa Claus Days at the
Marmarth Community Center after the vendors, games and Marmarth Ambulance Service’s free-will offering lunch wraps up. After a busy day of shopping locally and enjoying a warm meal at the vendor show in Marmarth, and seeing Santa at Russell’s Clothing, the night will cap off with the annual FMC Fantasy Food Fair, a favorite of many locals. The weekend will wrap up with the O’Fallon Community Choir Christmas Concert at the Baker Assembly of God Church at 2 p.m.. On Monday, Dec. 9 the Baker Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture will be out and about doing the judging for the Christmas Lighting Contest, so be sure to have your lights hung and on before dark that evening! Later in the week on Wednesday, Dec. 11, The Bank of Baker will be hosting
the Plevna and Baker School Choirs for an open house, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., choirs will sing at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Santa will make one more stop in Baker at the Fire Hall from 4-6 p.m. FMC will also be hosting their Chili Feed from 5-7 p.m., at Thee Garage so you can warm up in between shopping locally at the stores in Baker, which will be open until 7 p.m., and taking one more look at the selection of Christmas Décor from the Festival of Trees before it wraps up that evening. There’s one last event before the kids begin Christmas break and families start cozying in to bake cookies for Saint Nick and hang their stockings. The Baker High School Christmas Concert will be held on Monday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m., at Longfellow Gymnasium, another community favorite that you won’t want to miss!

Thanksgiving storm brings ice and snow Staff Report
After a near miss with a storm system that covered most of the country recently, Fallon County and western North Dakota still have more wintry weather on the way. In Baker the weather will be in the mid-40s Friday and Saturday before more snow arrives and the weather becomes decidedly colder. Both rain and snow showers are predicted around Fallon County Sunday with a high of 37 degrees expected and a low of 13 degrees. In addition, there could be winds of about 15 miles per hour. However, only about one inch of snow is expected. De-icing The cold trend will worsen Monday, with a high of 24 degrees ( low of 8 degrees), followed by a drop to a high of 15 degrees (low 3 degrees) Tuesday. The highs will climb
back into the 20s Wednesday and stay there throughout the weekend. Most of the Mo-Dak region was still digging out this week after a being hit with a coat of ice Nov. 28, followed by more than a day of snow. In North Dakota, the ice first hit, covering most of the western edge of the state with between a quarter of an inch to half an inch of ice on everything from trees, lawns, cars and roads. But along the southwestern edge, the snow added between six and 12 inches in the region. According to the National Weather Service Office in Bismarck, the region was able to avoid most of the storm impact because it took a more southern route and hit the state
SMART involved in numerous projects By Shanny Spang Gion
A recent “Gotta Question” was received by Fallon County Times Editor Darlene Hornung that was shared with the Southeast Montana Area Revitalization Team (SMART) Director, Shanny Spang Gion. The question essentially asked what services, programs, etc. are available at SMART and how those programs, etc. are serving Fallon County residents. It is great to know that people are interested in the activities of Southeast Montana Area Revitalization Team (SMART). In sum, SMART has been involved in housing development, urban renewal, community development, economic development, adult education opportunities, parks improvement and supporting small businesses by offering a revolving loan fund. One of the current projects that SMART and the Eastern

Montana Economic Development Authority (EMEDA) has been working on is childcare availability and early childhood education. EMEDA is very interested in the potential to develop such a center or facility for a variety of reasons. First, it will have a positive impact on the local workforce, by allowing opportunity for stay-at-home parents to re-enter the workforce or continue their education. Moreover, the long-term beneficial impact of developing a childcare center or facility will be an investment in the education of children in the community, increasing their chances of success in school and in the workforce. Planning and activities for this project are numerous. First, public listening sessions were held in the fall of 2018 and a community childcare committee was established to help in planning for a potential early childhood education center.

In addition, EMEDA is currently working with a childcare business and curriculum consultant to understand the extent of start-up and operating costs of a childcare center or facility. Understanding the business side of a childcare facility is of utmost importance to the EMEDA Commissioners in their decision making process. Furthermore, a childcare survey was administered across the county in late summer and early fall of this year with 207 responses. Almost 87% of respondents supported the idea of building a quality early childhood education center. The survey also revealed that there are 167 children aged 0-5 in our area that could be served by an early childhood education center. Another interesting survey result showed that the most important aspects of an early childhood

By Beth Epley,
Executive Director, Eastern Plains Economic Development Corporation As many of you know, the Census is quickly approaching. It is essential that we have accurate numbers representing Fallon County. For this reason, I am reaching out to you to see if you or someone from your organization would be willing to serve on a Census Complete Count Committee (CCC). The goal of this committee is to spread awareness and encourage residents to complete the Census. Beginning in the new year, the Department of Commerce will provide any training needed to the CCC. The committee determines how often they meet. Essentially, it is better to have local trusted voic-
es involved in the Census, rather than just federal government employees. This particular census is very important for a number of reasons. Census data is used to define legislative districts, establish school districts and guide decision making in many other important functional areas of government. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, the Decennial Census is used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Montana is one of the states on the cusp of gaining a new congressperson so getting a complete count is more important than ever. For every Montana resident counted, the Census estimates the state will receive nearly $2,000 per person each year in federal

(Nov. 25, 2019) - The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) would like to announce and invite the public to comment on a proposal to replace the bridge over Sandstone Creek on Highway 7 located at the north edge of Baker in Fallon County. The project is located at reference post 35.8 RP 35.8 and will extend north and south from each end of the new bridge providing enough distance to tie into the existing roadway. Proposed work includes replacing the existing structure with a two-lane bridge on the existing alignment and upgrading signage and guardrail. During construction, traffic will be maintained using a temporary, two-lane detour adjacent to the existing structure. The purpose of the project is to increase the overall effectiveness and enhance the safety of the route. Construction has been ten-

learning center is the ongoing consideration of the developmental ages and stages of the child and kindergarten or school readiness. Overall, the survey demonstrated not only need for more early childhood care and education options, but demonstrated a great interest in developing a high quality educational program for infants, toddlers, and preschool children. In continuing efforts to plan for such a center, the SMART office wrote a grant on behalf of Fallon County in October 2019 to the Montana Depart-
tatively scheduled for 2021 and is based on completion of all project development activities and availability of funds. Currently the need for new right-of-way acquisition is unknown; however, relocation of utilities and temporary construction permits will be likely. MDT staff will contact all potentially affected landowners prior to performing survey work. If necessary, staff will again contact landowners prior to construction regarding any property and temporary construction permit acquisition. An important part of properly planning for future projects is partnering with the community. Montana Department of Transportation welcomes the public to provide ideas and comments on the proposed project. Comments may be submitted online at http://www.mdt.mt.gov/mdt/ comment_form.shtml or in
writing to Montana Department of Transportation, Glendive office at P.O. Box 890, Glendive, MT 59330-0890. Please note that comments are for project CN 9682000.

ment of Commerce Community Development Division’s Community Development Block Grant planning grant, proposing preparation of a preliminary architecture report (PAR). A PAR is crucial in planning for a potential early childhood education center as it will define a few alternatives for creation of an early childhood education center/facility in Baker and will outline a preferred alternative that includes preliminary design, site location, cost estimates, and environmental considerations. Future work of SMART involves collaborating with the Fallon County Planning Office to host community
visioning meetings in Baker and Plevna. These meetings are a great opportunity for Fallon County residents to voice their ideas toward building better communities in our county. Additionally, SMART is interested in studying housing availability in Fallon County as well as bringing more cultural experiences to Baker. For more information about additional current projects, past projects and current grant programs, the public is welcome to visit the SMART office, located at 121 S.

Stirling Castle re-creation
Baker represented in Honor Band and Choir By Zachery Craig
Working hard on Nov. 25 and 26, nineteen of Baker High School band and choir students put in long days, and saw their hard work pay off in an outstanding Honor Band Concert Dec. 25 in Glendive. This event, which draws students from several schools in the area, was well-attended and a huge success. Director Jill Whiteman, very proud of all of her students said, “The District 11 Honor Festival was a wonderful opportunity for students from larger Class A schools as well as smaller Class B and C schools to spend two days rehearsing with outstanding guest conductors. This event
provided a unique opportunity for students to unite in creating music of an exceptional quality. It is wonderful to witness the spirit of collaboration working its magic.” Baker students who participated included seniors McKenzie Holliday, Caleb Ploeger, Lena Kennel, Alissa Schell, Taylor Bertsch, Rachel Rost, Alissa Bohle. Juniors Zachery Craig, Hannah Goerdnt, Cristyl Green, Bryce Shelhamer. Sophomores Daylee Hanson, Caleb Rost, Emily Shumaker, Shianne Beach, Sayge Barkley, Anika Ploeger, and freshman Cayla Duke.

The students in Mrs. Bettenhausens’s AP English Literature class recently finished their unit reading and studying one of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, Macbeth. After the class finished reading the play, they each got to make a creative project of their choice relating to Macbeth. The class was given examples of
potential projects, including a talk show, a mock trial and a presentation on superstitions from the Renaissance era. Hannah Goerndt, however, took this assignment in a different route, she built a castle! Shakespeare based the castle in Macbeth on Stirling Castle in Scotland in order to impress James I, the King of Scotland at the time the play
was written. Hannah’s castle is a historically accurate model of the Stirling Castle, just as it was described in the play. It took Hannah about three weeks, an abundance of cardboard boxes, and an estimated 35 hours to achieve the final product. Her diligent work resulted in a remarkable castle that left the class in awe!

Mrs. Oberlander’s second grade class with their books and tepees.
2nd grade Sioux research By Izzy Cuppy Dan Buerkle enjoying listening to a Thanksgiving story being read by Tate Luhman.
Elementary Thanksgiving Day On Nov. 25, the elementary K-4 invited senior citizens in to their classrooms for a Day of Thanksgiving. They read some Thanksgiving stories to them, shared some stories of Thanksgivings past and enjoyed some cookies while the students visited with them.
Mrs. Oberlander’s second grade class did a research unit on the Sioux Tribe and assembled a book titled The Sioux of the Plains. To make
resent Wasna. They enjoyed raw beets and berries, made tepees, and when completed, they hung their books in the hallway. Good job on your research!

Mrs. Bidwell’s kindergarten class has been studying how people in the community help us. They have had visitors from various occupations in our community. Under sheriff Eisle and deputy Wells
came and told them about being in law enforcement. Michelle Kilsdonk shared her nursing occupation and experiences with the kindergarteners. Her specialty was a labor delivery nurse. They also listened to fire chief Kalyn Bohle tell about his job as he works with firefighters. Therefore, the time came for each of the kindergarten students to think about which occupation they might like to pursue when they grow up. Camden Robertus and Brody Knuths thought they would like to be bull riders, hang on tight boys! Brianna Goben and Eden Kilsdonk considered being a nurse so they can help people, while Jasper Fullmer said he would like to be in a SWAT Team similar to our Positive Choices speaker, Kylan Klauzer. Tiana Pinkey and Jaxson Hines imagined themselves being firefighters and fighting fires. Zach Hines, Braxton Mackay and Ray O’Donnell decided they would like to go into law enforcement
and be police officers. Last, but not least, Natilyn Nemitz would like to be in the army. It is good to have goals, and it looks like our kindergarten class is already starting to think about careers when they finish with school.
Natilyn Nemitz thinks she will join the Army.

Mrs. Downing’s first grade students recently wrote books titled If I Had a Pet Elephant. Each student wrote their own book telling about what they would do if they had a pet elephant. Not only were they the author of
their book, the students were also in charge of illustrating their own stories. Overall, the first graders had a blast writing their books and are excited to see their works in print. Good job first graders!

STORM
FROM PAGE 1
of South Dakota much harder than the western edge of North Dakota and the eastern edge of Montana. Still, western North Dakota was closed down over the weekend when a no travel advisory was issued Saturday. The no travel advisory was issued because the freezing rain Nov. 29 had caused icy roads and created hazardous driving conditions, according to one of the Emergency
Fallon County Times Management Offices in the region. The no travel advisory stretched across the western edge of North Dakota from Williston and Watford City to the north, and included Dickinson, Beach, Bowman, Bismarck, Mandan and the surrounding areas. It also covered Slope County and Highways 85, 12 and 22. The no travel listing was removed Sunday after the storm passed and regional Department of Transportation stations were able to get snowplows out on the high-
ways and roads. In Montana, the storm hit some sections of the state with strong winds. In the Deep Creek BFA region, winds were as high as 51 miles per hour with gusts up to 67 miles per hour Sunday. Norris Hill also had gusts up to 41 miles per hour. According to the Great Falls office of the National Weather Service, the storm created strong winds and blowing snow which continued for several days along the Rocky Mountain Front.
O’Fallon Historical Museum News
By Melissa Rost,
Curator, O’Fallon Historical Museum O’Fallon Historical Museum was host to the Eastern Montana Museum Association annual meeting on Oct. 25. Representatives from area museums met to exchange ideas and reports. Jenn Hall from Carter County Museum gave a presentation on taxidermy preservation and restoration. Carissa Beckwith with Montana History Foundation also did a workshop on the grant process. The day finished with a tour of the old Fallon County jail building. Longfellow School sixth graders have continued to visit for Fun Friday. In September they sampled local apples from the Willard area Fost family heritage orchard for Johnny Appleseed Day. Students participated in two sessions in November in honor of Native American Heritage Month. They took in the footlocker “Lifeways of Montana’s First People,” on loan from the Montana Historical Society, and later learned about traditional and contemporary Indigenous ledger art and created their own artwork. In December the museum will be trying something new. We will be open on Sunday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. for family fun and memory making. The staff has created kid-sized “gingerbread” playhouses and will have gingerbread cookies available to decorate. There will be cocoa, crafts, a coloring contest, giveaways, a display of vintage Christmas items, and as always, plenty of local history and nostalgia. Stop in and enjoy some good old-fashioned fun!
