Two Way Crossing replacing “The Variety Show” By Lori Kesinger Two Way Crossing, a pop-country duo and their band, will heat up the stage Friday, Aug. 21, at 7 p.m. at the fair. They are replacing “The Variety Show” which has been held for a number of years. Blake and Jenny Marvin are the married duo behind the vocals. Their recent single “Car Trouble” has been getting extensive recognition in the industry. Two Way Crossing originally began as a simple duo. Jenny and Blake recorded their debut album in Nashville. Shortly after, they decided to make the move to the city to find their backing band and further pursue their music career. Within a few months they auditioned some of Nashville’s best musicians, including Kevin Smith (guitar), and Jaron Mossman (drums and percussion) to

perform with them during their 2014 summer tour. With the audition of Clint Reynolds (bass) and Benjamin Picker (keys, guitar, backing vocals) in 2015, Two Way Crossing evolved into a band. After acquiring a regular spot at Nashville’s world-famous Wildhorse Saloon, Two Way Crossing has been getting recognition everywhere from Music Row Magazine to radio stations across the United States. According to the band’s website, the group is continually pushing the boundaries on what a traditional country song should sound like and yet want to keep what they love about country music in everything they do. Check out Two Way Crossing on their website: twowaycrossing.com or Two Way Crossing Facebook page.

Two Way Crossing will be replacing “The Variety Show” this year at the Fallon County Fair on Friday, August 21 at 7 p.m.

Public Works Dept. upgrades infrastructure Submitted by Lance Wedemeyer, Director of Public Works The Baker Public Works (PW) residental alley project is currently underway. The old material is being cut out down to solid ground and replaced with millings. As soon as everything is put in, oil and light chips will be put on top to bind the millings together. This should create nicer alleys. The east side water and sewer project is 95 percent complete except for some cleanup. The creek channel through town is flowing better but is not complete. A retaining wall behind NAPA will be installed soon. Plans are to replace the bridges between First and Sixth Street SW and a permanent solution found for the bottom of the channel. PW, sanitarian and other groups are also working on the lake. The downtown alley project will start soon. This will consist of putting in concrete channels and new blacktop. The new lagoon should be finished this week and into the testing phase for two weeks. Plans for upgrading the existing cells

are being set in motion. New banners, Christmas decorations and lighting for downtown are being worked on. As part of regular maintenance, the streets will be receiving a lot of attention in the next few weeks. Waterways and alley aprons will also be addressed. Sewer flushing will start this month. The street sweeper is broke down. A bid will be made on a new mechanical sweeper after August 5, and the department should have one within a few weeks following that. A snow blower will also be purchased to help with 100 percent of snow removal. New tank mixer and water wells are currently in progress. Plans for a chip seat project next spring on the dirt streets left in town and other street sections are being worked out. A plan is also being developed for two to three streets a year to receive replacement of water mains and shutoffs, curb and gutter with the help of government funding and Fallon County. A lot of smaller projects have been com-

pleted. A culvert was replaced on the east side of town with a bigger box culvert. The box culvert by Runnings was lowered. Several ditches have been fixed and concrete drains were installed by the highway. The new garbage truck is in operation and a test run with smaller cans will be conducted on a section of town. The large tubs will be exchanged with 90 gallon tubs residents will roll-out to the curb on a scheduled day for garbage pick-up. The new subdivision off 6th Street SW has been approved to move forward. PW will be working on the intersection on 3rd Street and Runnings Road. Both will be shut down for a couple of days next week. Please pay attention to cones and signs. The City of Baker Public Works Department would like to thank the community for working together to make things better and asks for patience and understanding as things move forward. Please contact the Public Works Department if you have questions or concerns.

TAKE NOTE Correction In last week’s article concerning write-in candidates, the article read: Write-in candidates must provide voters with stickers to be placed on the ballot. It should have read: Write-in candidate may provide voters with stickers to be placed on the ballot. They should also instruct the voters that the box MUST be checked/marked for the vote to count. Candidates should understand they are not required to provide stickers/labels to voters but they can.

Baker Fire Dept. crews test city fire hydrants By Lori Kesinger You may have recently noticed Baker Fire Department crews working at fire hydrants and seen water running down the street. Although it may have appeared to waste water, the process is a necessary part of maintenance. The fire hydrant test and maintenance includes capturing flow readings with gauges, flushing of the fire hydrant, and cleaning

and painting. “The main reason we test the hydrants is to make sure they are in working order,” Fire Chief Tom Bruha said. Flow testing of fire hydrants is done to identify the amount of water a certain hydrant can deliver during an emergency situation. All the fire hydrants in the City of Baker were tested and color coded so Fire Department personnel can immediately

identify the gallons per minute a hydrant can supply. Green indicates 1,000 plus gallons per minute; yellow 300 to 1,000; red 0 to 300 and black means hydrant is not functioning. The fire hydrant test and maintenance is also an important component of the Insurance Service Officer grading of fire protection for a community which results in lower fire insurance premiums for home and business property.

News from Sen. Tester U.S. Senate - After reading the Iran nuclear agreement and submitting his questions to President Obama, Senator Jon Tester wants Montanans to read it and share their thoughts with him. Tester, who voted to give Congress the authority to review the negotiated deal, is posting the entire agreement on his website at: www.tester.senate.gov so Montanans can easily access it. “Transparency and public input are key to informed decision making,” Tester said. “I encourage all Montanans to read the agreement like I did and to send me their thoughts, because we have to get this right in order to prevent a nuclear Iran.” July 19, Congress began a 60 day review of the agreement that the U.S., China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Iran negotiated with the goal of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. The Senator asked the Pres-

ident specific questions regarding details of the agreement before deciding whether he will support it. Tester has discussed the details of the agreement with Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. Tester, as a member of the Senate Banking Committee, voted for the crippling economic sanctions that helped bring Iran to the negotiating table.

Avian flu threat means no poultry at the fair By Lori Kesinger The threat of avian influenza (HPAI) deadly to poultry, but not affecting people, means there won’t be any poultry at this year’s Fallon County Fair, which runs Aug. 19-23. The Fallon County Fair and others in the region have cancelled poultry shows as a precaution to keep the flu from spreading. The State Department of Livestock (DOL) recommended in late May that privately owned waterfowl and any poultry showing signs of illness should not be included during this year’s show season. Many fair boards in the state decided against any showing of poultry.

Youth Rodeo Playday results Fallon County Recreation Dept. Youth Rodeo Playday was held August 1 at the Fallon County Fairgrounds outdoor arena where 28 contestants participated. Results of the day are as follows.

Avian flu was reported in domestic poultry from Judith Basin County in April. The affected flock was quarantined and disposed of to prevent further spread of the disease. 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 top 165 degrees F. Poultry owners should contact their veterinarian or the DOL at 406-444-2043 with additional concerns or if they find sick or dead birds that have died from unknown causes.

Brilliant meteor shower Astronomy fans are expecting quite a show this August as one of the most anticipated meteor showers happens. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by comet Swift-Tuttle which was discovered in 1862. The Perseids are famous for producing a large number of bright meteors. The shower runs annually from July 17 to August 24. The absence of the moon on the night of the 11th makes for ideal viewing conditions of the meteor shower which peaks after midnight. The night of August 12 and the morning of August 13 will also be a great show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Perseus but can appear anywhere in the sky. Expect a shooting star every minute.

Guest safety a priority for county fair By Lori Kesinger Officials of the Fallon County Fair are implementing procedures for fairgoer safety. One way in particular is a partnership with local emergency responders and safety providers. A huge wind storm last year, which toppled the awning over the petting zoo causing minor injuries, prompted a re-evaluation of emergency protocol at the fairgrounds.

Earlier this year the fair board met with numerous entities to better understand the policies of emergency response. During the fair, supporting individuals will meet daily to stay on top of any anticipated changes in weather or any other safety concerns for fair guests. In addition to weather preparedness, the Fallon County Fair is also taking steps to inform fairgoers

where to go if there’s an emergency. Signage has been placed on the buildings for identification which is especially important for out of town guests not familiar with the fairgrounds. A new sign above the ticket booth at the grandstands indicates a first aid kit is now available there. A first aid kit is also kept at the livestock barn. Elementary students were

also given an aerial map of the fairgrounds at the end of the school year in May. The map identifies the three buildings to go to for shelter in case of an emergency - the grandstands, main exhibit hall, and livestock barn. Officials say guest safety will be a top priority and these kind of protocols will keep the fair going public informed and able to respond accordingly.

A Cowboy and Some Special Horses the Fourth of July parade, I was reminded of a good man I had grown to know and love. I first met Bob the day the men from the church I attended had gathered to cut and haul wood for a widow in our community. I was twenty-five, and the only one under fifty that showed up, so I was assigned the job of throwing the blocks of wood into the truck. I would pick up one in each hand and fling them onto the load. After a while, I realized that Bob was intently watching me. He tried to grab a block of wood in one hand. Though his big, farm-roughened hands were the size of bear claws, due to age he didn’t have the strength, and the wood slipped from his grasp. He looked at me and smiled. “I used to be able to do like you do. But I don’t see many young people anymore that can grasp a fifty-pound log and toss it into the truck like that.” “That’s because they didn’t grow up milking cows like we did,” I replied. “Did you work with horses, too?” he asked. “Not as teams,” I replied. “But I did ride a lot herding cattle.” “You ever heard of the Lipizzan horses?” he excitedly asked. “Yes,” I told him. “I read a book about the stallions and their rescue during World War II.” “The mares also needed rescuing,” Bob said. “And I was able to be part of that. I was drafted into the war, and as a young private I found myself far from the farm, fighting in Patton’s army. The death and destruction were unimaginable and took a mental toll on me. “I fought in the Battle of the Bulge, losing many friends, and I began doubt

told us about allied prisoners of war and some special horses that were being held across the border in Czechoslovakia. We also received word of an advancing Soviet army, and our commander decided to attempt to free both the prisoners and the horses before the Soviets arrived. “As we learned of our assignment, for the first time in a long time, I felt excitement for the mission we were attempting. On the most part, as we advanced, people welcomed us, viewing our arrival as salvation of their beloved horses from destruction by the Soviet Army. The only problem we had came from stiff resistance by German SS troops near the border, but our tank division quickly crushed them.” “When we reached the town where the horses and prisoners were, instead of the fighting we expected from the German army stationed there, we were welcomed with an almost celebratory air. Not only were the American, British, and Polish prisoners of war happy to see us, but the Czechs, and even the German soldiers, cheered us. All feared the advancing Soviet army and welcomed our protection of the horses that they were

you?” I asked in surprise. Bob nodded. “What was your assignment?” I asked. “Because of my experience with horses, I helped load, transport, and even ride them to safety beyond the border. For the first time in a long time, I was able to renew my faith in the general goodness of people.” I enjoyed my visit with Bob, and as the years rolled by, I never forgot it. When Bob grew old and feeble, I went to visit him. His good wife informed me that he didn’t recognize anyone anymore. When I told him who I was, he looked blankly at me. As I visited, I reminded him of his story from years past. Suddenly his eyes lit up. “You’re the guy that could throw a block of wood into the truck with one hand?” When I nodded, he leaned back on his bed and spoke quietly. “If you ever begin to doubt whether people have any redeeming value, just remember that in the midst of the ravages of war, men and women from opposite sides were able to set aside their differences and come together to save some beautiful horses.” He then turned to me, smiled, and said, “Never forget that, and your faith in the goodness

Trash left behind on Baker Lake shores By Lori Kesinger Picture littered picnic areas and trash washing up on the shores, and you have a picture of what is happening on Baker Lake. Trash could become a significant problem for the lake if it continues. It isn’t a new problem, but with the hot weather more people are using the lake and leaving behind a filthy mark. Many people bring a variety of items to the lake and often don’t take them home. Others just simply don’t pick up after themselves.

Several pieces of garbage can be seen washed ashore on Baker Lake.

Pollution ruins the water for everybody. It kills fish

and wildlife, contaminates waterways and detracts

from the beauty of the lake area. Throwing whatever into the water doesn’t make it go away, it just pollutes the natural resource. In recreational areas around the lake, trash cans are located within walking distance. People using the lake should deposit all garbage into designated containers or take it home. Baker residents are fortunate to live by a lake. Cleaning up trash needs to be a cooperative effort by all recreational users. The lake and other users deserve that respect.

FWP to host bison impact study hearings State wildlife officials will host five public hearings to discuss and take comment on a draft environmental statement for bison conservation and management in Montana. Bison are currently designated as both wildlife species in need of management and a species in need of disease control in Montana. The draft statewide bison conservation and management EIS, prepared by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, considers the possibility of bison restoration

somewhere in Montana where animals could be managed as a native species. A hearing is set for three hours, from 6-9 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 26, in Miles City at the BLM Office, 111 Garryowen Road. While no site-specific area is examined, the draft offers four alternatives. The “no action” alternative calls for no further action to restore bison at this time. The three other alternatives consider restoration of a publicly managed bison herd on: private and/or public lands of

willing landowners; tribal lands; and/or a large landscape with minimal livestock conflicts. Potential impacts are evaluated for each alternative but in lieu of site-specific areas, the draft EIS displays case studies from Montana, Utah, Alaska, and Canada to illustrate scenarios. The case studies reflect the general guidelines for bison restoration discussed in the draft document. Selection of any alternative that calls for bison restoration would require further analysis through a

site-specific environmental assessment. For more information or to comment online, visit FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov. Click on Bison EIS. The draft EIS will be available for 90 days of public comment through 5 p.m. Sept. 11. Comments can be mailed to: Bison Conservation and Management EIS; Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks; P.O. Box 200701; Helena, MT 59620-0701. A final record of decision would likely be finalized early next year.

Beat the heat with summer safety rules Symptoms of heat disorders: • Sunburn - Skin redness and pain, possible swelling, blisters, fever, headaches. Take a shower, using soap, to remove oils that may block pores preventing the body from cooling naturally. If blisters occur, apply dry, sterile dressings and get medical attention. • Heat Cramps - Painful spasms usually in leg and abdominal muscles. Heavy sweating. Firm pressure on cramping muscles or gentle massage to relieve spasm. Give sips of water. If nausea occurs, discontinue. • Heat Exhaustion - Heavy sweating, weakness, skin cold, pale and clammy. Weak pulse. Normal temperature possible. Fainting, vomiting. Get victim to lie down in a cool place. Loosen clothing. Apply cool, wet cloths. Fan or move victim to air-conditioned place. Give sips of water. If nausea occurs, discontinue. If vomiting occurs, seek immediate medical attention. • Heat Stroke (Sun Stroke) - High body temperature (106+). Hot, dry skin. Rapid, strong pulse. Possible unconsciousness. Victim will likely not sweat. Heat stroke is a severe medical emergency. Call 9-1-1 or emergency medical services or get the victim to a hospital immediately. Delay can be fatal. Move victim to a cooler environment. Try a cool bath or sponging to reduce body temperature. Use extreme caution. Remove clothing. Use fans and/or air conditioners. Do Not give fluids. You can help yourself and others avoid experiencing the heat disorders (above) by following these safety rules. Thinking about yourself: • Avoid the heat. Stay out of the heat and indoors as much as possible. Spend time in an air conditioned space. Only two hours a day in an air conditioned space can significantly reduce the risk of heat-related illness. Shopping malls offer relief if your home is not air conditioned. If air conditioning is not available, stay in the lowest floor out of the sunshine. Remember, electric fans do not cool, they just blow hot air around. • Dress for the heat. Wear loose fitting clothes that cover as much skin as possible. Lightweight, light colored clothing that reflects heat and sunlight and helps maintain normal body temperature. Protect your face and head by wearing a widebrimmed hat. Avoid too much sunshine. Sunburn slows the skin’s ability to cool itself. Use a sunscreen lotion with high SPF (sun

Know what to look for and actions to take when involved with outdoor activities in the summer heat. protection factor) rating. • Drink for the heat. Drink plenty of water and natural juices, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Even under moderately strenuous outdoor activity, the rate your body can absorb fluids is less than the rate it loses water due to perspiration. However, if you have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease; are on fluid-restrictive diets; or have a problem with fluid retention you should consult a doctor before increasing liquid intake. • Do not drink in the heat. Avoid alcoholic beverages and beverages with caffeine, such as coffee, tea, and colo. Alcohol and caffeine constrict blood vessels near the skin reducing the amount of heat the body can release. Although beer and alcohol beverages appear to satisfy thirst, they actually cause further body dehydration. • Eat for the heat. Eat small meals more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein because they increase metabolic heat. Avoid using salt tablets, unless directed to do so by a physician. • Living in the heat. Slow down. Reduce, eliminate, or reschedule strenuous activi-

ties such as running, biking, and lawn care work when it heats up. The best times for such activities are during early morning and late evening hours. Take cool baths or showers and use cool, wet towels. Learn the symptoms of heat disorders and know how to give first aid. Thinking about others: • Do not leave children in a closed vehicle, even for a few minutes. This is a “NoBrainer”. Temperatures inside a closed vehicle can reach 140 degrees F- 190 degrees F within 30 minutes on a hot, sunny day. However, despite this common sense rule, deaths from heat occur almost every summer when someone leaves their child in a closed vehicle. When outdoors, protect small children

from the sun, their skin is sensitive. • Help your pets keep their cool. It will “feel” as hot for them as it will for you. As with children, do not leave your pets in a closed vehicle. Be sure your animals have access to shade and a water bowl full of cold, clean water. Dogs don’t tolerate heat, avoid outdoor games or jogging with your pet. If you would not walk across hot, sun-baked asphalt barefoot, don’t make your dog walk on it either. (Dogs can also get blisters on their paws from hot pavement.) • Learn the symptoms of heat disorders and know how to give first aid.
