County plans to move ahead with Parkview Retirement Complex repairs

Classic Cruisers Car Club gifts bench to FMC

A multi-million dollar project to repair and renovate the oldest portion of the Parkview Retirement Complex will be moving forward, according to a Fallon County official.

Identified as Parkview 1, the project will be started once the current residents are relocated, three Fallon County Commissioners told residents during a recent meeting.

Whether the project would start this year or in 2021 was up to the residents to decide, according to the commissioners.

The extent of the work to repair the building interior and exterior would take up to eight months, meaning the building would have to be vacated for that length of time.

According to Chad Sutton of SDI Architects + Design in Miles City, local officials

and the contractor are hoping to get started on the project before the end of July.

Sutton is the project designer for the more than $2 million renovation and repair of the oldest section of Parkview Retirement Complex. T.W. Clark Construction of Billings won the bid for the project in February with a $2,062,706 offer.

In addition to addressing problems with water drainage and damage, the contractors will also be updating the air conditioning, plumbing and fixtures in the 12 apartments in the older Parkview 1 building which was built in the 1980s.

“We are going to address some problems they are having with water on the outside of the building finding its way into the inside of the building. There are some structural problems with the foundation on the south side of the building. So that is going to be excavated

and a new overlay foundation is going to be added to that south base.

“The new foundation is to fix a big crack.

There are some pretty substantial cracks in the foundation on the south side of the building. It is a structural problem that we need to stop so that we don’t keep expanding the crack,” he explained.

The water problem has several causes, Sutton said. “They have some ground water that is making its way in from underground and coming up. Also, there is close to 26,000 square feet of roof that drains into the courtyard. It is coming off the nursing home, the hospital, Parkview 1, the new expansion that was done. There is a whole bunch of them trying to get into a manhole and the storm drain. When you get the big heavy rains, it is not able to take (all the water) right now.

Music of the Bulls Local band has strong rodeo flavor

By Brad Mosher

bmosher@countrymedia.net

For Beni Paulson, there is a special kind of music that hits bull riders just right.

And he feels his band, Breaking Eight, lives up to it.

The fact that the group of North Dakota and Baker musicians have already played in Las Vegas at the Professional Bull Riding Championships means they have already arrived.

And with the loosening of the COVID-19 shutdown, their schedule has picked up, playing in Mandan July 2 and at the

Country Fest in New Salem a week later. “Our schedule is fairly limited right now,” he said.

“We are working on shows this winter in Las Vegas and others, but it is so hard right now. We don’t know if they are happening or if it will be canceled.”

The band, which specializes in rodeo rock, has also been selected to play at the Fallon County Fair in mid-August.

Raised in Killdeer and living on a spread north of Richardton, Paulson says both rodeo and music have been a big part of his life.

The name of the band, Break-

ing Eight, is a bull riding reference. “I used to be a professional bull rider. It (the name) had kind of a ring... a cadence to it. It is hard to find names because all of the good ones are taken,” he added with a chuckle.

He said the band has a web page already. “We have a good presence on Facebook and Instagram.... Twitter. We got it all.”

The band started up several years ago. “We are a pretty new band,” Paulson explained.

“We pretty much do our own music. We started the band to do our own stuff.”

The band recorded its second

album in Nashville six months ago, he said.

“Music born on the back of a bull is kind of our slogan because it signifies we are high energy. I used to be a bull rider and Jerilyn was a rodeo competitor as well,” he explained.

The group got together because they all wanted to write music and do original music on rodeo and the western way of life, he said.

“I knew Ty (Taylor) and Luke (Smillie). We all played together in previous bands throughout the years. We happened to be in

There is some water damage to the main floor, he added. “That is going to get repaired.

“The carpet (on the main floor) has some wrinkles in it because it has gotten wet so many times.

The plywood that is underneath it has warped and delaminated so it needs to be replaced.”

There is more to the project than just repairing water damage, Sutton said.

“The other portion to this project will be upgrading the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. It has hydraulic hot water heat and the pipes have been failing and springing leaks all over the building for the last probably ten years. It has gotten to the point where it is not worth fixing.

We are looking at replacing all of the heating and air conditioning in all of the 12 apartments,” he said.

When the residents return to the apartment after the repairs are finished, they will notice some small changes, especially in closet space. “It isn’t very much, about 18 inches by 24 inch space for the ductwork. Actually, the ground floor apartments will give up more than the upper floor because the heat pump and furnaces are going to be located in the basement. It is going to come up from underneath so the first floor apartments will have their duct plus the duct for the unit above them going through,” Sutton explained.

The contractors are ready to start, he added.

“We’d like to get the site work started as soon as possible so that we are not struggling against the

cold, wet weather in the fall and going into winter.”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the shutting down of the economy in Montana had an effect on the project, the project director explained.

“There was a big delay in getting this project going because of COVID-19. People picked up other work and now we are asking them to come back and start over again in autumn. Their work schedule has shifted out a couple of months (because of COVID).”

In addition, the eight month time frame predicted for the project is a reasonable estimate, according to Sutton. “That is if we can get the outdoor work done. It was an eight to nine month project to begin with.”

If the repair project had started in February when a notice to proceed was signed, it should have taken about 185 days, Sutton said. “That would have put it into September, but we have lost four months because of COVID-19 grinding everything to a halt.

“If the exterior work can not start until fall, then it is possible it will get delayed until next year,” he said. “We might do some temporary site work... some excavating and grading … just to deal with the water issues, but the other work and the structural issues might have to hold off.

“The only question mark right now is weather and whether it holds out for us or not … and when some of the subcontractors can get started,” he explained.

The company, which started in 1979, also was responsible for the construction of the Baker High School Sports Complex.

Gianforte recognizes Linda Rost of Baker with Spirit of Montana Commendation

Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) recognized Linda Rost of Baker with his Spirit of Montana commendation for her commitment to education, her exceptional, engaging science instruction, and her lasting impact on students.

Linda teaches biology, AP biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and science research at Baker High School. Teaching is Linda’s passion, and Montana is better for it. She says it’s exciting to see her students pick a research project they’re passionate about, lead it to completion, and find themselves along the way. Many of Linda’s students have competed in national and international science competitions. Linda is the 2020 Montana Teacher of the Year, and she was one of four finalists for 2020 National Teacher of the Year.

Gianforte’s Spirit of Montana is a weekly recognition of Montanans for their accomplishments, dedication, or service. Gianforte highlights the recipient in the U.S. House of Representatives and personally contacts the honorees.

Gianforte encourages anyone to nominate Montanans for the Spirit of Montana award by contacting his office at 202-225-3211 or by email at https://gianforte.house.gov/contact/email.

Gianforte’s statement in the Congressional Record follows: Recognizing Linda Rost of Baker Madam Speaker, Montana has some of the best, brightest, most innovative educators in our country, and our students are better for it. I rise today to honor one of the best, Linda Rost of Baker who’s recognized for her dedication to students and for her outstanding accomplishments in education.

Linda loves rural living and that’s why Baker is her perfect fit. She enjoys the culture and the pride people have living in a small community. She says, when there’s crummy winter weather, everyone goes through it together, and the community grows stronger and closer.

Her extended family lives in nearby Willard.

Linda feels a deep connection to the area. When a teacher is linked to her community that much, she can more easily relate to the kids and make a

lasting difference in their lives.

While attending New Mexico State University, Linda started studying to be a scientist, but soon found the lab lonely and boring. She noticed she enjoyed tutoring and began taking education classes. That’s when she realized where her passions lie and what she truly wanted to do. Fast forward to today, she earned two master’s degrees in education from Montana State University, and is working on a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at Texas Tech University.

Linda teaches biology, AP biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and science research at Baker High School, the same high school her father went to. She says it’s really exciting to see her students pick a research project they’re passionate about, lead it to completion, and find themselves along the way. Many of Linda’s students have competed in national and international science competitions.

Two recent graduates of Baker High School conducted innovative, cutting-edge research. One student studied breast cancer signs and tested novel drugs used on brain cancer. He conducted weekly Skype sessions with scientists and got good results.

Another student wanted to make a biodegradable wrap for hay bales. She produced a bioplastic for the bales out of algae - stronger than the usual wrap - and after two weeks, it degraded slowly while maintaining its strength.

Linda calls herself a “guide,” but she is so much more. Linda serves as an inspiration for her students.

Linda is the 2020 Montana Teacher of the Year, and she was one of four finalists for 2020 National Teacher of the Year, which is run by the Council of Chief State School Officers.

Teaching is Linda’s passion, and Montana is better for it.

Madam Speaker, for her commitment to education, her exceptional, engaging science instruction, and her lasting impact on students.

western North Dakota anyways.

“I moved from Killdeer seven years ago,” he said.

The final piece to the band puzzle would come from the Montana border town of Baker, Paulson explained. “Jerilyn (Wiseman) was going to school at Dickinson State University. I had read a bio of her because she was a rodeo student that said she was a competitive fiddle player.

“I did a little asking around and a little research on her to make sure she was a decent person. Once I determined that, I called her up and asked her if she would be interested.”

Paulson said “she is kind of the superstar of the group.”

The band had been traveling, including performing at the PBR Finals in Las Vegas, but the travel has been limited by the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.

“We set off on this expecting big things, so there has been no surprises to me that it has been working out, but we have gelled really good as far as writing music. We have learned and grown in the songwriting department – as a team,” Paulson explained.

He added that the band’s music videos for “Lost and Found” and “Still Around” show what the band can do. “It is very representative. The video companies and us are getting more efficient doing these videos as well.”

In addition, the band is seeing some international interest with some of the downloads, he said.

“Eventually, when the world opens up we are going to solicit tours in other countries. We are kind of waiting for things to happen, but we fully expect to be touring everywhere.”

Home crowd Wiseman came to Baker to stay years ago when her family returned to Fallon County where they had ties, allowing her to finish up her final two years at the high school and competing in local rodeos. Her events were barrel racing, team roping and breakaway.

After graduation, she went on to Dickinson State University and spent four years there on the

Blue Hawks’ rodeo team. She majored in Ag Business and had an associates degree in Equine Marketing.

Being on the rodeo team in Dickinson was a special time, she explained.

“Some of my very best friends were on that team. The reason I chose that team over other places was because of the morals that coach instilled in his students. A lot of people can make you a successful athlete, but he does such a successful job of helping people not only become successful athletes , but also helping them find their faith. I just kind of yearned for that, I guess. I am so thankful for that relationship I have with him. He is a giant blessing I have in my life,” she said.

“I kind of grew up with rodeo. I was fortunate. My parents rodeoed my entire childhood.

I was on a horse from the very beginning,” she explained.

Wiseman took up the fiddle a few years later when she was six years old. That choice would eventually lead her to Paulson and Breaking Eight who were looking for a fiddle player at the time.

“My best friend when I started pre-school started playing and I thought it was a cool thing,” she added.

“I was really fortunate. I had a phenomenal teacher named Scott who had played all over the country. He was really good, but my biggest inspiration, as far as a big band, was Jimmy Mattingly with Garth Brooks.

“He is phenomenal. His tone is just beautiful and he plays some really cool stuff. There is a newer band called Flatland Cavalry and they do some more melodic type fiddle stuff and kind of get bluegrassy. Those would be my two biggest inspirations,” she explained. Flatland Cavalry is slated to play July 23 in Billings.

It was her friendship with another member of the Dickinson State University Rodeo Team which led her to the North Dakota band which was looking for a fiddler at the time.

“We were pals and he was working for a guy named Ben Paulson, who was a PBR world finalist. He (Paulson) would come by and talk to the bull riders on the team. I knew him and he knew me, but we didn’t really communicate,” she recalled.

Paulson told her friend that he was really looking for a fiddle player and didn’t know where to find one. Paulson said they (fiddle players) were pretty few and far between around here.

It was her friend, Justin Ward, who supplied the connection.

“Justin said Jerilyn plays the fiddle … and lied through his teeth for me,” she said with a chuckle. “He (Justin) had never heard me play. He then messaged me on Facebook that night (June 2018) just to see if I would be interested. I said yeah.”

A few months later, Paulson sent Wiseman some songs that he had been thinking about. “I got together with him in September. He lined up a rehearsal for me with the whole band. We played together and they decided I was in,” she said.

“I had to learn about 50 songs in less than a month before we headed to Vegas for the PBR finals. It all was pretty fast but it has been a lot of fun.”

While in college, Wiseman said she saw herself returning to Baker after graduation and working. At the same time she had been gravitating away from music because it was not fun anymore.

“Then I met this great group of people. They have become four of my very best friends in no time flat. It (music) has gotten to where it is a lot of fun again.

I have gotten more passionate about it. I didn’t see myself doing anything other than staying around here and trying to raise some horses, train some horses, rodeo and work at the bank.

“I am getting to do the best of both worlds at this point,” she said. “I play music and go see places, meet some great people.

“I didn’t see this coming – playing in the band. It was definitely a push from God in the right direction.”

One of her first gigs with the band was the trip to the PBR competition in Las Vegas.

“That was my second show with them,” she said. “My first one

was the night before in North Dakota because they wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to pass out on stage. I think they wanted to know if they’d have to cancel my plane ticket,” she added.

“I was the last piece of the puzzle. They had already been playing before I joined. It is crazy how close we have gotten in the last year and a half because they have all known each other for 10 or 20 years. They have been playing music together, on and off,” she said.

The lead guitar player, Ty, lives the furthest away in Stanley. “He is just crazy good on the guitar,” she said. “He is just a joy to be around and quickly became one of my very best friends.”

The drummer, Luke, is from Regent in Hettinger County.

“All of the guys have become very close to me” Wiseman said.

“We’re really lucky. There is no bad chemistry. We call each other every day and talk. It is really nice.”

The band already has two albums online, the first (Breaking Eight) was released in February 2019 with the second (Double Down) put out in May 2020.

So far, Wiseman said it would be hard to pick out a favorite song, but she has a couple that stick out in her mind. “Wildflower... the way it all comes together. Ty and I had been talking and he played this guitar lick. I just loved it because it has that bluegrass feel to it,” she recalled, adding that she had grown up around bluegrass music.

“I like it because it is so upbeat and the singing part is fun.

The fiddle part to it is my favorite part about it... and the guitar lick.... hands down. It has a cool feel. Ty did a great job and we all had these big ideas for it … and it all came together,” she said. “It was like four little train wrecks rolling into one and it all worked out perfect.”

Another song, Lost and Found, has also made a big impression.

“It is just so soothing to me. The fiddle part turned out so pretty.”

Wiseman said she likes all of the songs. “Its like, cool, we get to play this song again,” she explained. “They all have been a lot of fun.”

Wiseman is currently working as a loans officer at the Bank of Baker.

Summer is off to a great start at O’Fallon Historical Museum! We are happy to once again be sharing local history with the public and are excited to have you join us.

On June 20, Mike Madler was on hand to share with visitors about his new exhibit on the stage road from Miles City, MT to Deadwood, SD. Patrons were able to view the maps, pictures, and trivia he collected over many years and learn more about the stories behind his research. His work contains details about each stop along the route, starting at the current location of the Big Sky Pharmacy in Miles City and continuing to the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Stage Road exhibit has now been temporarily taken down to utilize that space for other content. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, it will return in August for another run, so be sure to stop then.

Beginning Sunday, July 5, the 41st Annual Juried Exhibit Travelling Collection from WaterWorks Art Museum in Miles City will be on display at our facility. Each Sunday afternoon in July there will be cookies and lemonade on hand for guests as you view the artwork from local, regional, and national artists. This exhibit will be in place from July 5-26. Local, regional, and national artists have been juried in to this show titled “Subjective Perspective.” The bright colors and unique portrayal of contrasting textures make this exhibit stand out, so be sure to stop in to see it during the month of July. We are open seven days a week from 8-12 and 1-5, and as always, admission is free.

Teaching Scouts

By Daris Howard

One of my scouts came into camp, shaking his head. “You know that troop next to us? I don’t think they know anything.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Oh, I don’t know,” my scout replied. “It’s just everything about them. They’re over there trying to build a fire, and I think about the only thing they’re going to burn is themselves.”

“Maybe I should pay them a visit,” I said.

I wandered down the trail. The other troop wasn’t really right next to us. My boys liked to be as far out from the center as camp as possible and always voted on the last camp on the edge of the forest service land. We had two unoccupied camps between the next troop and us.

As I stepped into the other troop’s camp, I could see what my scout was talking about. In the fire circle they had big logs. The scoutmaster, along with a few other boys, were down on their knees trying to light the big logs on fire with matches. The matches kept burning out long before the log caught on fire. A couple of the boys lit paper, but it quickly burned up while only singeing the logs.

I walked right up to the group. “Hi. I’m from the camp farther up the trail.”

The scoutmaster stood, smiled, and spoke somewhat coolly. “Aren’t you the group that never wears scout uniforms?”

I smiled and nodded. “That would be us.”

I looked around the group gathered there. The scoutmaster and every boy had on a perfectly ironed scout uniform.

The scoutmaster smirked and said, “Don’t you think it’s strange that you’re the only troop not wearing scout uniforms at scout camp?”

“Not really,” I said. “To me, scouting is about skills more than it is about ceremony.” I then pointed at their pile of singed logs. “Been camping much?”

The smirk disappeared from his face as he shook his head. “No. We live deep in the city, and it’s impossible to find any place to camp without driving for hours. That’s why the boys have been looking forward to this one.”

“Mind if I take a shot at your fire?” I asked.

The scoutmaster shrugged. “Go ahead and try. But be forewarned, I think we must have defective wood.”

I asked them if they had a hatchet or an ax, but they didn’t. I asked one of the boys to grab me some paper towels. I pulled out my knife and took one of the roughest logs. I whittled off some shavings and long splinters. Once I had a good pile, I put the paper towels in a pile, then piled on the small pieces of wood. I also directed the boys to bring me small branches and pine needles from the surrounding forest. I broke the branches and laid them with the pine needles on top. Soon I had a good pile. Finally, I placed three of their big logs in a triangle against each other over the other wood.

I lit the paper, and almost immediately, the whole pile started to burn. Soon the big logs caught fire, and it wasn’t long before a roaring fire was blazing in the fire ring.

“Well, I’ll be,” the scoutmaster said. “I thought something was wrong with our wood.”

“You’ve got to start out small and build it up,” I said. “I suppose we all have our talents. I wouldn’t know much about living in a city.

My boys and I aren’t much at wearing uniforms. But we do a lot with survival skills.”

I held out my hand. “The name is Daris.”

He smiled a much friendlier smile. “Steven,” he replied.

“If you need anything, you know where I am,” I said.

Steven nodded. “If I do, I will definitely come find you.”

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, As the country celebrates its birth as a nation, one of the most patriotic things Montanans can do is stand up and be counted-in the 2020 Census.

Or, more accurately, go online and be counted. Or mail in the census form. Or chat with a census worker. Every 10 years, the country counts how many people live in the United States of America.

The stakes are large. Results of the census determine how much money Montana gets from the federal government.

That’s about $2 billion a year now. The equation is simple.

The more people counted by the census, the more money Montana gets for highways, schools, and healthcare.

Also at stake this year for the first time in two decades is another seat in Congress. As Montana gains residents and other states lose population, the census will determine if Montana needs more representation in the House of Representatives. That is important in determining if Montana gets its fair share of funding and other federal resources.

The count inspires friendly competition. While at a redistricting conference last year, a census expert from Minnesota mentioned to me that his state may “lose” a congressional seat to Montana. Yes, I thought to myself. We have Bobcats and Grizzlies. Minnesota has … Gophers. We should have another seat at the table.

It shouldn’t be a competition. An accurate count nationwide is in everyone’s best interest. However, if response rates are better in some states than others, the states with uncounted residents will get short shrift over the next decade.

The Districting and Apportionment Commission that I chair relishes the opportunity to divide Montana into two districts so that residents from all corners of our vast state can more easily access their representative.

But as of this writing, Montana is lagging well behind the national response rate. About half of Montana households responded so far. Nationwide, three of five households are already counted. Check out how the state and counties are responding by looking at this live ranking site: https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html By the way, Minnesota leads the nation in response rate, #1.

The Treasure State ranks 45th.

The 2020 Census is available online at my2020census. gov, calling 1-844-330-2020, or via mail if a household has received a paper questionnaire. Learn more at CENSUS. MT.GOV. Happy Birthday America.

Participating in the Census is the most patriotic gift you can give.

Sheila M. Stearns, Presiding Officer, Montana Districting and Apportionment Commission

Legal Tip of the Week Did you know … that if you receive government assistance with your rent, you can ask for a reduction in your rent if your income goes down?

If you get government assistance with rent and your income has decreased due to coronavirus or another reason, you can ask your landlord to lower your rent amount. It is best to make the request in writing and keep a copy for yourself. Your landlord will ask for documentation showing that your income has gone down.

Marmarth hosts annual youth rodeo

Staff Report

The Little Missouri Saddle Club held its annual Kids Rodeo Sunday at its Marmarth arena.

According to organizers, the rodeo kicked off with new events for special needs kids, then proceeded with all other rodeo events.

“There were over 70 kids participating in this rodeo. All first place winners received belt buckles donated by area families and businesses. I do think we had a pretty good turnout from area counties,” explained Shannon Minerich after the rodeo finished.

Colton Turbiville was one of the big winners on the day, taking first in the boys 12 to 15 year old age group for Steer Daubing and Breakaway, while finishing second in the flag race by just two-tenths of a second behind TJ Andrews.

Bronc Selle also picked up a pair of wins, taking the top spot in both the boys nine to 11 Keyhole and Pole Bending.

The club is also hosting a Fourth of July Rodeo at Marmarth. The Slack begins at 8 a.m. and the rodeo performance is at 5 p.m. The rodeo will also include a kid’s Wild and Wooly Team Sheep Racing competition.

Running for Peace

International Athletes Keep the Spirit Alive - Children Offer Hope through Art Pre-pandemic the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run (peacerun.org) was preparing to run more than 11,000 miles across America, Mexico and Canada passing a torch for peace among school children and adults in an effort to promote harmony and friendship.

Even though the runners may not physically be present in your area this year the spirit of the Run continues.

Not to be daunted by travel restrictions, runners around the world have been dedicating their

miles run at home to peace in the spirit of oneness. Runners are participating in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mongolia, Nepal, Russia and the US. To continue the mission of spreading peace an art project was created called Expressions of Peace. Children submit drawings, paintings or photographs along with short statements about why it sparks peace within themselves. https://www.peacerun.org/us/ news/2020/0422/3875/ One student in New York City labeled his photograph, “We are the fire that lights Lady Liberty’s Torch.” And a 9th grader said,

“…in order for us to find peace, we need to work together as a whole. We need to stop fighting against each other, instead we need to work together so we can get through the hard times.”

Creative artwork has been posted on the Peace Run website from New York City, San Diego, Washington, Canada and Russia among others.

The Peace Run has been to over 160 countries worldwide since its beginning in 1987 with more than 7-million participants.

The 16,000-mile European Peace Run that goes through 44 countries is also being run virtually by international athletes.

Supporters of the worldwide endeavor include Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pope Francis, President Nelson Mandela, Saint Mother Teresa and many more.

Peace Run founder, Sri Chinmoy, said “Peace opens up the first door to every human hope.”

Young people are bringing that hope to light with their creativity and heartfelt quest for unity.

Runners and artists of all ages and abilities are invited to join by dedicating their steps to peace or sending their artwork to be shared on the Peace Run website. Together we can make a difference.

Superior Care Villa resident Betty Kusler showed off her bowling skills with a spare.

Superior Care Villa resident Ruth Deviney was dead on to pick up a spare.
