Wang competes at ISE Fair By Linda Rost After being selected from the State Science Fair in Missoula to represent Montana, Lauren Wang became the first Spartan to compete at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). All travel expenses were provided by the State Science Fair. This fair is the largest pre-college science competition in the world, in which 1700 students from 78 countries, regions, and territories compete for over $4 million in prizes and scholarships. Students compete with their independent research projects and inventions to solve practical problems in their part of the world. This year, the fair was held in Pittsburgh, PA from May 1016. World-class research scientists from all over the world served as judges, and Nobel Prize winners led panels and mingled with finalists. Wang competed as a finalist with her project “The Effects of the Human Voice on Cattle”. She found that cattle
(l-r) Linda Rost, Baker science teacher, and Lauren Wang rspond to the human voice, whether aggressive or calm, with an elevated heart rate. Their heart rate was significantly higher than when exposed to a silence treatment or banging pipe. Wang used sound recordings of the treat-
ments, aggressive human voice, calm human voice (both male/female adult voices), and banging pipes. All had the same decibel level. She also had a recorded silence treatment as the control. The sample size for the
Submitted photo experiment was 30 yearling heifers. Wang’s research shows that working cattle without speaking is most beneficial to promoting safe practices. Other methods can SEE WANG, PAGE 8

Anderson receives national business educator award By Lori Kesinger Baker High School Business and Technology teacher Scott Anderson was recently awarded the Western Business Education Association (WBEA) Outstanding Career and Technical Student Organization Advisor Award at the 2015 WBEA Conference held in Scottsdale, Arizona. Anderson was unable to attend the conference in May due to scheduling conflicts, but said he felt very honored to receive the award. “I feel as if there are a lot of great Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) advisors in our state and region. Our school has very strong CTSO chapters with Mr. Gunderson’s FFA Chapter, Mrs. Pam Beach’s FCCLA Chapter, and our chapter wouldn’t be nearly as strong without Mrs. Lynn Beach working with me throughout the year,” Anderson said. “Lynn and I constantly bounce ideas off one another, so she deserves recognition as well. Ultimately, it is the students who helped me win this award. We have a great group of students who know how to get things done and take pride in their events and the chapter as a whole. I would have never been nominated if it wasn’t for all their hard work and I cannot speak more highly of them.” Anderson has worked at BHS since 2005. During that time, he has been a co-advisor with Lynn Beach to students involved in Business Professionals of America (BPA) at BHS. In addition to creative projects such as the mini golf course their students built, they have hosted BPA Chapter Regionals in Baker for the past four years. Their students also maintain the Montana Business Education Association website. Anderson also serves as Montana Association for Career and Technical Education president elect and is on the conference committee to host WBEA in Bozeman in 2017. Anderson was nominated for the WBEA award by St. Labre High School business teacher Larry Thomas last September.

practice speaking in a positive and nurturing environment. Modeling and describing your garment provides a 4-H member the opportunity to speak publically and showcase their sewing skills.
Dangers of secondhand tobacco smoke Submitted by Julie Russell, Tobacco Prevention Specialist Secondhand smoke is a mixture of gases and fine particles that includes: Smoke from a burning tobacco product such as a cigarette, cigar, pipe, hookah, and e-cigarettes. More than 7,000 chemicals, including hundreds that are toxic and about 70 that can cause cancer. Most exposure to secondhand smoke occurs in homes and workplaces. Secondhand smoke exposure also continues to occur in multi-unit housing and vehicles. Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces is the only way to fully protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke exposure. (Montana Clean Indoor Air Act: www.dphhs.mt.gov/mtupp/cle anairact) Separating smokers from nonsmokers within the same air space, cleaning the air, opening windows, and ventilating buildings does not eliminate secondhand smoke exposure. In children, secondhand smoke causes the following: ear infections, more frequent and severe asthma attacks, respiratory symptoms (e.g.
coughing, sneezing, shortness of breath), respiratory infections (i.e. bronchitis, pneumonia), a greater risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In the U.S., children aged 18 months or younger, secondhand smoke exposure is responsible for an estimated 150,000 -300,000 new cases of bronchitis and pneumonia annually. In adults who have never smoked, secondhand smoke can cause cardiovascular disease and lung cancer. Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke increase their heart disease risk by 2530 percent. It is estimated that secondhand smoke exposure caused nearly 34,000 heart disease deaths annually. Secondhand smoke exposure causes an estimated more than 7,300 lung cancer deaths annually among adult nonsmokers in the United States. There is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure; even brief exposure can be harmful to health. Secondhand smoke exposure has decreased in recent years due to the growing number of laws that prohibit smoking in workplaces and public places, including
restaurants and bars, the increase in the number of households with voluntary smoke-free home rules, and the decreases in adult and youth smoking rates. Eliminating smoking in indoor spaces is the only way to fully protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke exposure. Separating smokers from nonsmokers within the same air space, cleaning the air, opening windows, and ventilating buildings does not eliminate secondhand smoke exposure. In 2005, the Montana legislature passed the Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA), one of the most important public health policies in state history. Laws like CIAA reduce heart attack rates by at least 20 percent. They also reduce lung disease, including lung cancer, as well as other debilitating and fatal illnesses, and they protect unborn children and young children from health problems. Remember, if you would like help quitting tobacco, the Montana Tobacco Quit Line is there for you. Over 70,000 Montanans have called into the Quit Line since 2004, Benefits include a free per-
sonalized quit plan, free coaching calls, free educational materials, and enrolled callers may be eligible for up to eight weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy or discounted cessation medications.

Baker minors baseball news May 30, the Baker nine-ten year old Minors Baseball Team traveled to Miles City for the annual Dairy Queen Tournament. Their first game was against the Miles City Braves. They came up short and lost 5-7. This loss moved the team to the losers’ side of the bracket. Baker would take on the Miles City Rockies that evening and won 10-9.
This kept them in tournament play for Sunday, May 31. That morning, May 31, they defeated the Miles City Twins 8-7, the Miles City Braves 118, and the Miles City Red Sox 12-5. These wins put the team in the championship game. Baker had to travel back to Miles City the afternoon of June 1 to play the championship game against the
Miles City White Sox. Baker lost 2-7 in the championship game. The kids played very well and came home with a second place trophy. The Baker Minors are coached by Travis Bailey and Bo Lingle. The Baker nine-ten year old Minors next home games will be June 22 and 25 at 5:00 and 6:30 both nights.

By Lori Kesinger The City of Baker is moving forward with the concept of creating an Urban Renewal District (URD) without increasing property taxes. The Eastern Montana Economic Development Authority (EMEDA) presented the idea to the City Council earlier this year. The City Council agreed to a feasibility study that examined the possibility more closely. It was determined the City would benefit from the creation of an URD. EMEDA will apply for planning grants to continue with the process. Grant submissions close mid-summer and will be awarded later this
Thomas G. Patterson graduated from Briar Cliff University during commencement ceremonies in Sioux City, Iowa, May 18, with a bachelor of science major in criminal justice with a minor in psychology and a certificate to coach wrestling. Tom and his teammates of the Briar Cliff Chargers wrestlers were among 300 graduates from all over the U.S. and world. Tom was Coach Joe Privetere’s first recruit four years ago with a scholarship to Briar Cliff. His parents, Walter and Joene (Olind) Patterson of Frostburg, MD; his grandparents, George and Barb Olind of Baker, MT; John and Carol Williams (great-uncle and aunt) of Boise, ID, attended the ceremonies. Tom has spent several vaca-
tions visiting his grandparents in Baker while growing up and spending spring breaks from school as well as worked for Mitchell’s Oilfield Service the
past two summers in Baker and made many friends. He grew to love the area and hopes to move here in the near future.

The URD sets up a special taxation district to essentially revitalize an area. The taxes gained from the increase of property values over time within the district are redirected to the URD fund. Property taxes for residents inside and outside the URD remain the same. What changes is how those tax revenues are allocated to the different districts. “The URD is a way to continue with the priorities brought forth at the vision meetings held several years ago,” Madler said earlier this year. “It is also based on the information the MSU Community Design Center gave to us last summer.”

It is intended to assist communities in improving and redeveloping “blighted” areas. The program provides critical funding for planning, policy changes, and public infrastructure such as land acquisition, demolition and removal of structures and general redevelopment activities.

DPHHS urges caution regarding rabies exposures State and local public health officials remind Montanans to be aware of the risk for exposure to rabies this time of year. Rabies is a fatal viral disease that attacks the central nervous system of warm blooded animals but it is also preventable. The rabies virus is carried in the saliva of infected animals and is usually transmitted to people and other animals from the bite of a rabid animal. Although exposures can occur anytime, spring and summer are the seasons when most exposures occur as humans and animals emerge from the long Montana winter. Skunks are the most common four legged animals infected with rabies in Montana, however, the majority of reported human exposures result from bats. In 2014, there were hundreds of reports of animal bites in Montana, including over 42 reported encounters between bats and people. During the same period, 11 of the 105 bats and 5 of 11 skunks sub-
mitted to the Department of Livestock’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory tested positive for rabies. Rabies is also not limited to wild animals; in 2014 two dogs and one cat also tested positive. Last year, over 122 people in Montana were started on the rabies post-exposure treatment due to an exposure to a rabid or suspected rabid animal. Treatment costs range from $2,000 to $7,000 per person. “Be smart this spring and summer and take time to learn a few basic tips that will protect you and your family,” said Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) Director Richard Opper. To avoid possible exposures, keep the following rabies prevention tips in mind. • Do not feed or handle wild animals, especially bats. Teach children never to touch wild animals or handle bats, even dead ones. Ask children to tell an adult if they see or find a bat. • Vaccinate dogs and cats against rabies. All dogs and
cats should have a current rabies certificate. • Bat-proof your house. Close all outside openings larger than 3/8” in the walls, roofs, and floors. Put screens on all windows, doors and chimneys to prevent bats from entering. • Watch for abnormal animal behavior. Most wild animals are not seen during the daytime. If you see one and it is acting strangely, leave it alone and contact the local health department or animal control agency. If you or your child has any contact with a bat, or are bitten or scratched by any wild or stray animal, please do the following: • Wash any bite or wound with soap and water. • Contact a health care provider or public health department for appropriate follow-up. Because bat bites can be difficult to detect, it is important that any potential physical contact with a bat be brought to the attention of a health care provider or public health officials for a
risk assessment. Bats found in homes, especially sleeping areas, are a concern because people can be bitten by bats and not even be aware they were bitten. “It is important to consult with health authorities if you find a bat in your home,” Opper said. “We urge people not to approach or feed wild or stray animals and never touch a bat,” said Elton Mosher of the DPHHS Communicable Disease and Epidemiology Bureau. “Protect yourself, your pets, and the community by getting your animals vaccinated and don’t touch wild animals.” Officials remind anyone who may have been exposed not to destroy the animal before speaking or contacting the local health department. It may be possible to observe some animals to rule out rabies and eliminate the need for preventative treatment. Contact the local health department or animal control for instructions on what to do. More information can be found at: http://dphhs.mt.gov/
Motorists Hauling Watercraft Must Stop At AIS Inspection Stations Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials reminded private and commercial boaters today that state law requires all motorists hauling watercraft - from trailers with motorboats or inflatable rafts to canoes and kayaks perched atop cars and pick-up trucks - to stop at inspection stations. The annual education and enforcement effort, which this year includes multiple chances to win prizes from an array of local sponsors, is to further curb the risk of aquatic invasive species from attaining a foothold in Montana waters. Seventeen well-marked inspection stations will again be in operation beginning the end of May through September at key border crossings, along major highways, and on heavily used water bodies. Motorists who stop will have their equipment checked and cleaned if needed - and get information on how to enter a raffle for prizes to be awarded throughout the boating season. Montana law requires private motorists and outfitters and guides hauling watercraft - including motorboats, sailboats, kayaks, canoes, rowboats, rafts, jet skis and even small kick boats popular among some anglers - to always stop at AIS watercraft inspection stations for a brief interview and equipment check. Most inspections take fewer than five minutes but failure to stop could lead to a $135 fine. Last year, nearly 35,000 watercrafts were inspected at Montana’s roadside stations. A total of 54 motorboats and three non-motorized watercrafts were found to have been fouled by zebra mussels and other AIS contaminants and hundreds more contained standing water or noninvasive vegetation. “We were able to intercept those boats and clean them up upon inspection,” said Tom Boos, FWP’s AIS coordinator in Helena. “The problem is more than 30 percent of all motorists hauling watercraft aren’t stopping, and some of those boats are likely harboring AIS.” AIS
are non-native, destructive, and highly prolific life forms like harmful aquatic plants, animals, fish, and microscopic organisms, which include everything from invasive zebra mussels to whirling disease. “They’re mostly transported from water to water by popular recreational activities like boating and angling,” Boos said. Invasive species’ widespread harm in the U.S. amounts to more than $130 billion in damages and repair each year. For instance, municipal water systems in North Texas, popular recreational lakes in Omaha, NE and once healthy fisheries in New York have been shut down or damaged by AIS in recent years. A study shows even property values surrounding nearby lakes in Wisconsin dropped up to 16 percent due to the infestation of invasive, dense, mat-like water weeds. While most western states now have mandatory roadside watercraft inspection stations, boaters and others in Montana have been urged for a decade to inspect, clean, drain and dry boats, trailers and gear exposed to the water to self-ensure they don’t carry damaging organisms from one water body to another. “At the inspection stations, boats and trailers are carefully inspected, and boaters obtain information about how to identify invasive species and prevent their
spread from one water body to the next,” Boos said. “And this year, they'll also get information on how to win some raffle prizes and then be on their way.” The most likely aquatic invasive species threats to Montana waters include quagga and zebra mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil, and New Zealand mud snails. Montana waters currently infested or treated for AIS include: Eurasian watermilfoil - a willowy plant that forms dense mats of vegetation on the surface of the water and affects recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, water sports and boating - at Beaver Lake, Fort Peck Reservoir, Noxon Rapids Reservoir, Cabinet Gorge Reservoir, Jefferson River, Madison River, the upper Missouri River, Fort Peck Dredge Cuts, and the Missouri River below Fort Peck Reservoir. Curly-leaf pondweed - similar to watermilfoil - that remains on the Bitterroot River, Canyon Ferry Reservoir, Hauser Lake, Holter Lake, Ennis Lake, Hebgen Lake, Missouri River, Clark Fork River, Noxon Rapids Reservoir, Cabinet Gorge Reservoir, Thompson Falls Reservoir, Helena Valley Regulating Reservoir, and Post Creek. Flowering rush - a nearly impenetrably dense highgrowing plant that covers lakes and rivers, chokes out native plants and releases
bacteria that causes swimmer’s itch - on the Flathead River, Flathead Lake, lower Clark Fork River, Noxon Rapids Reservoir, and Cabinet Gorge Reservoir. New Zealand mud snails - a tiny cone-shaped snail that can quickly grow to densities of up to 30,000 snails per square foot to ruin rivers and lakes by crowding out native species - continue to persist at Darlington Ditch, Hauser Lake, Nelson's Spring Creek, Bluewater Creek, and on the Missouri River below Holter Dam. Inspection stations and roving crews will be operating throughout the boating season in these locations: Billings, Bozeman, Clearwater Junction, Culbertson on U.S. Highway 2 West, Dena Mora on I-90 East, Dillon on I-15 North, Eureka on U.S. Highway 37 West, Fort Peck Reservoir, Hardin on I-90, Helena, Missoula, Ravalli on U.S. Highway 93 North, Swan Valley, Thompson Falls, Troy on U.S. Highway 2 East, and Wibaux on I-94 West. Roving crews will also work at fishing tournaments and other boating events. Raffle sponsors include fishing shops, outfitters, guides and boat manufacturers. The penalty for knowingly introducing AIS into Montana can be a felony, with penalties up to $5,000 and two years in jail.

Free Department of Livestock advises athletic against showing waterfowl at physicals poultry exhibitions this summer
As seen on America’s Got Talent, Loop Rawlins One Man Wild West Show is traditional entertainment no one will want to miss. Rawlins is one of the most versatile western performers in the world today. His show features trick roping, whip cracking, and fancy gun spinning. Jeff Martin will make all ages of people laugh and marvel at the wonders of comedy magic. “The blond curlyhaired magician”, as describes his physical attributes, will provide an entertaining production of professional magic and antics. Powerhouse Dance will appeal to all age groups. Powerhouse combines innovative tap, clogging, and explosive stomp for a one-of-a-kind dance experience, also known as percussive dance. The performers also do more than simply dance. They entertain throughout the show by engaging the crowd with their energy and talent. Added to all of the events and excitement will be an opportunity to meet new and old friends, so come celebrate the Fallon County Fair in August with world class entertainment and family oriented fun. There is something for everyone! Tickets for all events and entertainment will be available from the fairgrounds ticket office. For more information or questions, contact: falcofair@midrivers.com or call 406-778-2451, and be sure to like the Fallon County Fair Facebook page.
Students in grades 7-12 this fall can sign up for a free athletic physical by calling Baker High School to make an appointment, 406-7783329. Pre-physical dates are Tuesday, June 23; or Wednesday, July 15, from 8:30 - 12:00 noon.
Report cards Students in grades 7, 9, 10 and 11 can pick up their report cards at the high school office Thursday, June 4.
The Department of Livestock (DOL) recommends that privately owned waterfowl sit out this coming show season citing the risk of avian influenza. Waterfowl can carry the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus without showing signs of disease, increasing the risk for spread to other poultry. This recommendation is in response to the HPAI outbreak that has affected more than 38 million birds since December 2014 in the United States. Two separate cases of HPAI have been diagnosed in Montana, and both have involved exposure to infected waterfowl. “These waterfowl may appear healthy but if infected,

her, gave her a cultural scarf as a souvenir that he was wearing. In addition, she was able to tour Heinz Field, the Carnegie Science Center, and Stage AE, as well as many other special events and parties. She even, accidentally, crashed a prom while doing organic chemistry. This was an incredible experience for Wang and she hopes that other students from Baker High School will follow her legacy and compete at state and regional fairs to try to qualify for this experience.
The answer is D. Some prescription medications have psychoactive (mindaltering) properties and, because of that, are sometimes taken for non-medical reasons. In fact, prescription and drugstore cough and cold medicines are, after marijuana (and alcohol), the most commonly abused substances by Americans 14 and older.

could easily spread the virus to other birds in the barn during a county fair,” says state veterinarian Marty Zaluski. Exhibitions are an increased risk when dealing with contagious diseases because animals are traveling from multiple sources and are concentrated in one area during the event. The threat of HPAI will likely remain through the show season and limiting the movement of waterfowl is a proactive step to prevent disease in the domestic poultry population. Dr. Zaluski states that, “We are pleased that fair boards in our state are communicating with us about the risks of this disease, and we will continue to work with them as the na-
tional outbreak evolves. We also recommend that exhibitors seeing any unusual losses or signs of disease in their birds refrain from bringing animals to any show.” Exhibitors should contact their veterinarian or the DOL (406-444-2043) with additional concerns or if they find sick or dead birds that have died from unknown causes. Three HPAI strains have been detected in the US poultry flock but have not been shown to cause human illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Poultry products are also safe to eat when properly prepared and cooked to 165 degrees F.

Planters beautify downtown Baker By Lori Kesinger Whether you’ve taken a drive or a walk, you may have noticed the planters making downtown Baker a little brighter. The Beautification Committee recently purchased the new colorful planters to replace the wood barrels used in the past. Businesses participating in the planter program pay a fee for each planter and supply the soil Pictured Red Hatters are, l-r: Ruby Bruce, Vivian Pinnow, Teddy Stoddard (queen and plants. of the Sagebrush Sisters Red Hatters), Delphine Maier (queen), and Shirley Mohr. The Beautification Commit-
tee will water the plants throughout the summer for the businesses. The Fallon County Commission graciously donated an older pickup and water tank to the Beautification Committee to use for this purpose. In the fall, the planters will be picked up and any business owner wanting the same planter can request to have the planter tagged. The planters are part of the ongoing beautification efforts throughout the city.
Red Hat Sagebrush Sisters Red Hat Sagebrush Sisters of Baker attended the Red Hat convention May 15-17 in Spearfish, SD held at the Holiday Inn Convention Center. The event was hosted by the Barely Beyond Pink Red Hatters with Delphine Maier, former Baker resident, queen of the chapter in charge of the arrangements. There were 16 queens pres-
ent from various chapters. Attending were 107 Red Hatters and three Pink Hatters from five states - North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Everyone enjoyed a variety of entertainment from scarf dancing, a senior citizen pantomime group, country gospel singer, and a male authentic country singer. They
all enjoyed the good food, renewing old friendships, and making new acquaintances. There were four vendors from three states who provided a variety of Red Hat items for shopping. One afternoon was spent at a dinner buffet in Deadwood, SD, along with gaming fun and trolley rides. Everyone had a great time.
