school,” he recalled. “Christmas day we rolled in there and I was like ‘Wow, my kids are at home eating and these kids are standing out in the rain wanting something to eat.’” “It made me appreciate America when I got over there. It was pretty bleak. It was pretty sad to see,” Sargent Losing said as he explained the living conditions in Kirkuk, Iraq. During his deployment he saw undrinkable water, inadequate healthcare, and unsafe electrical. “A lot of times it was just simply wires run over a pole or something. Basically, all they had was lights in their house. They had a control panel there and they just started sticking wires in it and running it to their houses.” “People all seemed to be happy there, for the most part. People would tell you that they didn’t want to fight, all they wanted to do was have an education, a job, and peace. They didn’t want any

Jerry Losing, a Baker native, enlisted in the National Guard in 1981 after graduating from Baker High School in 1980. Sargent Losing is one of the many veterans in our community that we are able to thank, honor, and regard this coming Veteran’s Day, Monday, November 11th. Sargent Losing, husband of Jill Whiteman and father of Chandler and Spencer Losing, served for almost three decades. The beginning of his service was spent locally, filling in for employees at Pine Hills Juvenile Facility in Miles City, Montana during a time when they were understaffed due to a wage discrepancy. He also traveled to the Western side of the state to fight fire in between Helena and Townsend. Sargent Losing had an 18-month deployment, with 12 of those months spent in

Despite strong reports from Wall Street and news of low unemployment, families are struggling to get by throughout Fallon County, as well as throughout the country. One in eight Americans - 42 million people - still struggle to get enough to eat. And while that number has been going down recently, hunger appears to be getting worse in some economically distressed areas, especially in rural communities. It’s a subject that is hard to think about. Many of these families have two working adults in the home and just don’t have enough to make it between paychecks without the cupboards getting bare. Sometimes it’s a disability or serious health problem that suddenly changes the family finances or the death of the sole provider that necessitates temporary assistance.
Or sometimes it’s a single parent trying to provide for their children. Whatever the circumstance, for some, the choice between making the rent and buying groceries is rarely that far away. The local donations to the Community Cupboard have made the difference between full stomachs or their families going hungry. “One thing that

I have always found very special about our food cupboard in Fallon County is that it is solely supported by the generosity of our community,” said Angel Wyrwas, Co-coordinator for the Community Cupboard. “This means that people don’t have to fill out a bunch of forms verifying their income to receive food. No state or federal program is tracking their information.” “It’s very simple to receive a food box,” continued Angel. “People just call the Baker Senior Center at 406-7782600 to request a food box and set up a time to pick up their supplies. We ask them to sign our book so we can track how much the Cupboard is being used and if needs are greater at certain times of the year.” The Cupboard tries to provide food appropriate for the

Dear Editor, I would like to thank the Baker community and specifically Reynolds, Napa and the Baker police officer. I stopped in Baker on Tuesday evening to pick up a few groceries on my way home which is 35 miles west of Baker. I had been driving all day from visiting family in southeastern South Dakota and it was cold and windy. I purchased some groceries and returned to my car and when putting the grocery bags in the car and my wallet, keys and phone, I must have hit the door lock and when I stepped back, the door shut and locked. Thank you Reynolds for allowing me to use your phone to call home twice to let my husband know my dilemma. NAPA (Cameron?) suggested I call the police officer and so I called dispatch and the officer came to stand out in the cold and work to get my door open which he was able to do in a few minutes. When I started the car, the horn alarm started and the key fob would not work. A battery was purchased at Ace, the battery was replaced in the key fob by NAPA’s employee, and the alarm finally silenced after he spent several minutes in the cold. My husband was ready to drive to Baker with the extra vehicle key, but thanks to the cheerful help from several in the Baker community, I was on my way and I returned home extremely thankful for “small town kindness”. Love where I live and am very grateful for all those who helped me get on my way back home. Cathi Peila Ismay, MT

People are always asking what the Cupboard can use the most,” said Angel. The Cupboard can always use canned foods including soups, vegetables and fruits, especially canned carrots and potatoes and assorted canned fruits or jars of applesauce. Pasta sauces, seasoning packets, boxes of instant potatoes and side dish packets (like noodles and rice) are always welcomed. Donations of meat, frozen

Did you know … how the Court splits up property and debts in a divorce? The Court will split the property and debts of the marriage equitably. Equitable means fair. It does not always mean that everything is split evenly. In deciding what is equitable, the Court may consider many factors, like how long the marriage was, age, health, occupation, income, skills, estate, liabilities, and the needs of the spouses, and more. To learn more, read our brand-new article “The Ultimate DIY Guide to Divorce and Custody in Montana” on www.MontanaLawHelp.org. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, try our smart search bar.

When learning about ecosystems, Mrs. Schell’s third grade class let their creative ideas flow. The students were given a day to plan out what they were going to do, then they had three days to put their creations together, and the results were outstanding. The students used a combination of clay, fabric, toys and paint to create their models. The first group consisted of Bentley Hester, Alexis Connolly and Elias Havens. The three chose a safari ecosystem. A Tropical Rainfor-
Baker vs. Eureka
On Nov. 2, the Baker Spartans arrived in Eureka after a long two day trip across the state to face the undefeated Eureka Lions for the first round of the playoffs. Kickoff was at 1 o’clock and the Spartans were back to receive. They got a good return and scored right away after just two plays on a 66 yard run by Dillon Hickey. Riley O’Donnell ran into the endzone for the PAT to put the Spartans ahead 8-0. The Lions answered by scoring early in their drive as well to make the score 8-6 Spartans. Eureka scored again putting them ahead 14-8. They kicked off and Guy Lesh returned the kick 77 yards for a touchdown. With Riley O’Donnell getting another PAT the score was 16-14 and the Spartans were ahead. As

Flying Spiders
By Hannah Goerndt
On Halloween, Mrs. Hastig’s fourth graders were issued a challenge. The class was split into six groups, and were given 50 minutes to create a device that would fly a spider across the room. Whichever group’s spider went the farthest would win. Each group faced their own challenges, Taylor Bruski, Nakona Selle, and Louie Barth attempted to make wings for their spider, and they agreed that it was frustrating for each of them. Kayla Afrank, Mira Metcalf, and Kynlie Moore tried to make something similar to a flying squirrel, but weren’t sure how to go about it. The biggest challenge for Mason Lecoe, Taylor Blaisdell, and Bronson Selle was that they couldn’t agree on one plan to focus on.

Kylie Schwartz and Cord Olsen tried to make an airplane that could fly their spider farther than the rest. Cade Huft, Kaydee Dyke, and Abbie Mills tested out different ways to make a slingshot with their balloon. Jackson Enos, Emmalyn Miller and Morgan Hurley or JEM wanted to launch their spider, and even tried putting the spider inside the balloon. Mrs. Hastig hoped that this project would teach her students how to think through their project, and learn how to cooperate better with their peers. The fourth graders admitted that they underestimated the challenges in their projects, and they discussed other factors that affected how the spider would fly. After launching the spiders, it was concluded that Jackson, Emmalyn, and Morgan were the winners of the Flying Spiders Challenge.

2019 Positive Choices
By Jaeda Paul
Kylan Klauzer inspiring students of Plevna to make Positive Choices. On Oct. 30, Kylan Klauzer with Positive Choices, came to Plevna School to encourage kids to “Be You”. Klauzer was born and raised in southeastern Montana. He graduated from Baker High School in 2002 and then went on to attend Dickinson State University. While there, Klauzer received his Bachelor’s Degree and eventually a Master’s Degree in Public
Administrations. Kylan has been a law enforcement officer for 14 years in Dickinson. His primary duties are to supervise the Criminal Investigative Division. He is currently assigned to serve in roles as the senior SWAT Team Leader, a combatives/ use of force instructor and a polygraph examiner. In the fall of 2017, Klauzer graduated from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) National Academy. His passion for speaking to students comes from the harsh realities of his childhood, which taught him about his own individual responsibility and the impact of making positive choices. The kids learned that their choices stack up, whether positive or negative, and determine their future. They learned that what they need to succeed is the ability to make positive choices. The students enjoyed learning about his childhood experiences, and the impact these experiences had on his future choices in life. Mr. Klauzer ended his inspirational speech with his rendition of “Not My Father’s Son”.

Mrs. Spencer’s 5th grade class with the Native American artifacts they created.
5th grade Native American Projects By Dacy Buerkle
As part of their Native American studies, Mrs. Spencer’s fifth grade created several projects representing the seven Native American Regions. For the Great Plains, the students assembled tepees and made sacred buffalo drawings. The students also made wattles and daubs, huts made from twigs intertwined in poles, and woven baskets to represent the tribes of the Southeast. They used model Kachina dolls and corn to represent the tribes of the Southwest. Corn was the main source of food for these tribes, and they used the Kachina dolls to teach traditions. To represent the Eastern Woodlands Tribes, the students made model longhouses and wampum belts; these belts were worn only for tribal ceremonies. The
students learned that totem poles were the only source of written language for the tribes of the Northwest and afterwards made their own totem poles. They also drew spirit animals for the Arctic tribes and wrote a poem to exemplify the tribes of the Great Basin. They finished their experience by presenting all of their projects on a map and giving a speech on each project. To culminate their Native American studies, on Oct. 30, Mrs. Spencer’s 5th grade set up a Native American Artifacts Museum in the Multi-purpose Room. The 5th graders displayed all the artifacts that they had created and shared information they had learned about each artifact and the Native American groups they had studied.
October 26, Mrs. Robertus, adviser, Jenna Paul, Dacy Buerkle and Jaeda Paul began the journey to Fairmont Hot Springs. Unfortunately, due to weather, they spent the night in Livingston and traveled onward the next day. Upon arrival, Jenna helped welcome this year’s

the districts came together to plan their year. Dacy and Jaeda participated in the FCCLA Knowledge Bowl, where they were quizzed on their FCS and FCCLA knowledge. After competing, they took some time to enjoy the Hot Springs. On Oct. 28, they attended more workshops, including the Power of FCCLA, National Programs, and Chapter Officer Training. During this time, Jenna presented a workshop on Community Service with two of her fellow officers. The Conference ended soon after, in hopes of chapters making it home before a winter storm hit. However, that was not the case for the group. They stayed in Laurel that night and continued home on Oct. 30. Overall, the group had an educational trip to Leadership Rally.

The Baker City Council will hold a public hearing for a Conditional Use Permit submitted by George Bailey, Managing Member; Eagle Landing RV Park, 837 Trestle Creek, St. Regis, MT 59866. The legal description of the property is Lot 2B, Amended Plat of Meadow Park of “Meadows First Minor Subdivision” and Lot 2 of the “Meadows Second Filing” located in the East one-Half (E1/2) of Section 14, Township 7 North, Range 59 East Principal Meridian, Montana, Fallon County, Montana Containing 26.77 acres, more or less, being subject to all easements and rightsof-way as shown, existing or of record. The property is zoned R-2. Mr. Bailey is requesting a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish a new 14 space Recreational Vehicle Park with complimentary office/washroom facility. This property is a part of a preliminarily approved phased subdivision 26.77 acre tract. The applicant has requested this CUP under Section 17.28.030 of the City of Baker Zoning Regulations, Ordinance #365. 17.10.015 - Conditional Uses. (a) At its discretion the city clerk may refer a conditional use permit application to the board of adjustment that shall hold a public hearing to review the application, hear public comment and provide a decision regarding the conditional use permit. The board of adjustment in its review shall consider all applicable conditional use performance standards or criteria provided in this title, as well as other factors related to the proposed conditional use that may negatively impact neighboring properties. The board of adjustment shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application. Kevin Dukart, Zoning Administrator, has exercised his
discretion to refer the CUP request to the Baker City Council. Conditional Use Permits are by the City Code taken before an appointed citizen board of adjustment for public hearing.

However, the Baker City Council specifically retained that role unto themselves under 17.24.010 - Recreational Vehicle Parks Approval Process. Any new recreational vehicle park or an expansion of an existing recreational vehicle park shall require conditional use approval by the city council. A request for conditional use shall not be considered by the City of Baker until the applicant has submitted documentation that the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) has approved the plans and specifications for any new or expanded recreational vehicle park. A DPHHS “trailer court” license for a recreational vehicle park shall only include recreational vehicles in the license. Existing recreational vehicle parks will be required to comply with the updated zoning regulations within five years of city adoption or the sale of the park or change of ownership, whichever occurs first. An owner may file for an extension for up to two additional years to operate “as is.” 17.46.020. - Powers. The board of adjustment shall have the following powers: (a) To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by an administrative official in the enforcement of this part or of
any ordinance adopted pursuant thereto; (b) To hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of the ordinance upon which such board is required to pass under such ordinance; (c) To authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from the terms of the ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship and so that the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. In exercising the above-mentioned powers, such board may, in conformity with the provisions of this part, reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be made and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken, who will make special exceptions to the terms of the ordinance in harmony with its general purposes and intent and in accordance with the general or specific rules contained in the ordinance. The concurring vote of four members of the board shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirement, decision, or deter-
mination of any such administrative official; to decide in favor of the applicant on any matter upon which it is required to pass under any such ordinance; or to effect any variation in such ordinance. Comments may be directed to Kevin Dukart, Zoning Administrator at 406-778-2692 or to the Planning Department at 406778-7111. 45-47c MNAXLP __________________________
