New day spa offers an array of beautifying treatments By Lori Kesinger A place of beauty and relaxation opened its doors in Baker. Kelly Graham recently opened Willow Day Spa, an oasis tucked away in the N Styl building on Main Street in Baker. The Sidney native graduated this past March and married Jason Graham from Baker the same month. She is fully licensed as an esthetician with the state of Montana. Graham can help with most skin conditions, including dry skin, acne and wrinkles. She offers facials, body wraps, body waxing and eyelash extensions. She also has a wide variety of facial chemical peels available. “One step further than the basic facial,” Graham noted. Facial treatments take about an hour. Graham’s body wraps take about 90 minutes and are designed to detoxify, nourish and firm the skin. A body wrap begins with exfoliation through a sea salt scrub then the application of a
mud body mask followed by being wrapped with a plastic type material. After half an hour, the product is rinsed off. Body waxing and eyelash extensions are just further beauty enhancements Graham likes to provide. “I’ve always struggled with my skin and want to help other people,” Graham said. “I want people to leave inspired and feeling beautiful.” Graham is also carrying an exclusive line of Image Skincare products. Willow Day Spa is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Evening and weekend appointments are also available. To schedule an appointment, call 406-480-5754 or email: willowdayspamt@gmail.com Kelly Graham opens new day spa.

Fast Draw competition like the old west By Lori Kesinger It might look like a scene out of the old west but the gunfighting will be friendlier and a lot more fun at the upcoming Fast Draw competition to be held in Baker. The World Fast Draw Association (WFDA) Index Championship is going to be held at the Exhibit Hall Sept. 19 and 20 starting at 9:30 a.m. both days. About 40 to 50 shooters from across the nation and Canada are expected to compete in the season-ending championship. The shooting sport of Fast Draw thrives to mimic gunfighting. It involves a single-action revolver, ‘full-powder’ wax bullets and a lightning quick draw. It’s known as the fastest timed sport in the world. A timing clock gives a shooter a random two to five second delay before turning on a target light. A shooter is not allowed to begin their draw or have their finger in the trigger guard until the light comes on. When the light comes on, the shooter grabs the gun, draws it out of the holster, cocks the hammer with his/her thumb or ‘fanning’ hand, and pulls the trigger to fire the gun at the target. Wax bullets are fired at steel plate targets at distances up to 15 feet. The target has a micro-switch or impact sensor on it to stop the clock.
Simply put, competitors have to draw, fire and hit a target as fast as possible at close range all under a quarter second, including reaction time. Dan Lagasse, WFDA member, said he joined the sport over a year and a half ago. “I thought it would be great for the community to host the event,” Lagasse said. “We hope to gain new interest. It’s a lot of fun and they’re super friendly people.” Men, women and children not familiar with the sport of Fast Draw are welcome to try it out during the Celebrity Shoot Friday, Sept. 18, starting at 3 p.m. Seasoned shooters will be on site to help anyone wanting to try it. There is no cost to try the shooting or to watch the competition Saturday or Sunday. To become involved in the sport of Fast Draw, an individual has to become a member of the World Fast Draw Association, pay necessary dues and fees, and be willing to wear western attire at all competitions. For more information, contact Dan Lagasse at 406-778-2171 or 701290-1991. You can also learn more about Fast Draw on the fastdraw.org website or World Fast Draw Association Facebook page.
Dietz honored for
serving 39 years on planning board By Lori Kesinger Mary Lee Dietz was honored on Sept. 8 for over 39 years of dedicated, volunteer service on the Fallon County Planning Board. Dietz was elected Clerk and Recorder at first and thought the planning board position would be beneficial to her role. She started serving on the board in November 1975. Dietz attended monthly meetings and shared the responsibility of ensuring the orderly development of land in the county. Dietz said she would have liked to continue to serve on the board but it is no longer practical. Instead, she will hold onto her memories of good times shared with other board members. “I was glad to serve the community. It was an honor to serve that long,” Dietz said. “I enjoyed the people. I will miss it.”

Welcome to Baker for the Fall Festival
Saturday, September 12
By Lori Kesinger Baker Public Schools also welcomed Jill Shelhamer as a new kindergarten teacher for the school year. Shelhamer is a familiar face to the community. She grew up on a ranch 13 miles north of Plevna and has taught in the Plevna School District for the past 16 years. Shelhamer started teaching and working with children at Vacation Bible School when she was a teen. She realized she really enjoyed working with the children and easily made the choice to pursue a career in education. She also grew up around a lot of teachers from her dad’s side of the family. Shelhamer graduated from Dickinson State University with a degree in elementary education with a focus on kindergarten and reading. She has primarily taught kindergarten but also taught one year of second grade and three years of K-1 combined. “I love teaching the early elementary grades! The kids are so excited about learning and life in general. They put a smile on my face every single day,” Shelhamer stated. Shelhamer said she hopes to motivate, inspire, and encourage her students in a safe and loving environment. Her focus is to educate them socially, emotionally and cognitively so they can continue to build a foundation for life-long learning. “I have been so blessed by how kind and supportive my new school family and the Baker community have been,” Shelhamer said. “We had kind of a tough start, losing my dad the week before school started. Everyone has been so helpful and patient as I learn the ropes in a new school system.” Shelhamer and her family live in Plevna. Her husband, TC, is employed at WBI as a compressor operator. Their son, Sean, is a freshman, and daughter, Bryce, is a seventh grader, both are attending school in Baker. In her spare time, Shelhamer likes to fish, camp, read and spend time with her family. She also enjoys her newest hobby of making jewelry and other unique treasures out of antique, repurposed silverware.

much power. The Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution in 1791. To date, there have been 27 constitutional amendments. Sept. 17 begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The tradition of celebrating the U.S. Constitution began in 1955 when the Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to annually set aside September 17-23 for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was adopted by Congress and signed into law in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Please join the National Society DAR and citizens nationwide in this important celebration by educating our youth, preserving our country’s heritage and promoting patriotism. There will also be a nationwide bell ringing on Thursday, Sept. 17, at 1 p.m., to celebrate America and our Constitution. Let freedom ring!

Chamber News By Lori Kesinger Members of the Baker Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture met Sept. 2 at Thee Garage for the monthly meeting. The annual Fall Festival is Saturday, Sept. 12. Chamber members discussed the schedule and volunteer needs for the day. Number of ducks and prizes were decided upon for the rubber duck race.

Toddler riding rear facing in a car is safer At one time or another you will face the age old debate, when can I turn my child’s car seat around? Many parents experience conflicting messages when considering the “right” time to face a toddler forward in their car seat. Grandparents may say, “We turned our children around at one year old.” The pediatrician may say, “You can turn them around at age two.” The truth is everyone would fare better in crashes
First frost coming soon By Lori Kesinger Living in Montana means a short growing season. September is usually the month when the first frost puts a damper on garden produce. According to the Montana Climate Summary, on average the first frost of the fall season for Baker is Sept. 25, and Plevna is Sept. 27. Actual growing seasons vary from year to year, usually plus or minus one full week on either

if we all faced the rear of the vehicle. Your child is no exception. According to Safe Kids world Wide, best practice is to keep a child rear facing until they max out either the height or weight requirements of their rear facing seat. Rear facing seats support the child’s head, neck, spine, and hips while helping them “ride down” the crash forces. As toddlers, the head is the heaviest part of a child’s body. When we

place a toddler in a forward facing car seat, the harness does a nice job of securing the child’s upper body, however, their head continues to travel forward in a whip lashing effect. This is where we typically see spinal cord injuries. With rear facing seats, there is little to no whip lash. You can determine the rear
facing guidelines on every car seat by reading the labels on the side of the seat. If you are still unsure how your child should ride, meet with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPS Tech) for a free car seat check-up.

Back to school night for parents By Jessica Stockett September 2, parents had the opportunity to attend an open house and view a glimpse of what the upcoming year would offer their children. First, they enjoyed root beer or coke floats. Next, teachers and advisors of extracurricular activities provided some information on opportunities available to the students.
Mrs. Walker introduced the teachers to the parents and explained about the new Chromebook program the school is implementing. Finally, parents visited classrooms with their children and spoke with teachers to find out more about their child’s schedules. This event was a great way for parents to learn about their student’s activities and communicate with Plevna’s educators.

2015 Montana Upland Game Bird Hunting Forecast
_________________________________________________________________________________________________ NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is Hereby Given that the City Council of the City of Baker, Fallon County, Montana, will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 8:00 o’clock P.M. in the courtroom of the Courthouse in Baker, Fallon County, Montana, for the purpose of consideration of an increase in rates for public water, sewer, and refuse charges to its consumers. The cost of materials, labor, power, and other operating expenses has increased since the existing rates were established in 2014 to the extent that present operating revenues are not sufficient to meet the requirements to properly operate, maintain and service the City of Baker utility system. Furthermore the combined water and sewer service rates are well below the target rate for water user fees based on formulas established by the Department of Commerce. The target rate is one criteria used in determining eligibility for grant or loan funding assistance through various state agencies generally to assist with finance of major system improvements. Currently, the City of Baker is approximately $43.00 per month per user below that rate. The Baker City Council therefore proposes an increase in monthly rates and fees as illustrated below to better prepare for an inevitable upgrade to aging infrastructure within the City. The costs associated with replacement of the refuse truck and containers also necessitate this proposal to increase the service charge for refuse pickup and disposal

Baker Spartans defeated the Wolf Point Wolves 36-6 September 4 in Wolf Point.
Helena - The Montana Department of Environmental Quality reminds people that the annual fall open burning restrictions became effective Sept. 1, 2015. The restrictions are put in place to determine when it is safe to burn from an air quality perspective and where burning may cause health impacts. There may be additional burning restrictions put in place by local, state, or tribal authorities to prevent wildfires. Burners in all locations must also contact these local authorities before starting Photo by Kori Kary fires any time of year to provide notification of the burn and to obtain necessary local open burning permits. “DEQ regulates open burning because smoke can have serious health effects when ventilation conditions are poor,” said Rhonda Payne, a ment in community efforts. scientist from DEQ’s Air Biographies should include Permitting Program. “We try the ranching woman’s hometown, family members, and number of years involved in ROAD ranching activities.

Montana Stockgrowers seek nominations for Ranching Woman of the Year The Montana Stockgrowers Association is seeking nominations for the 2015 Montana Ranching Woman of the Year. The annual award is presented to an MSGA member who has made great contributions to the Montana ranching community and has gone above and beyond to support their family and friends. Nominations are due October 31 and the recipient will be recognized at MSGA’s annual convention in Billings, December 3-5. “Women are often the backbone of Montana’s ranching communities. These women often go above and beyond to support their immediate family
members and pitch in whenever the need arises in their communities,” said Gene Curry, MSGA President from Valier. “We look forward to recognizing these accomplished women each year at our annual convention and thanking them for their hard work.” Last year’s recipient of the Ranching Woman of the Year was Bev Fryer, who ranches with her husband, Ed, near White Sulfur Springs. Alongside raising a family, the Fryers raise cattle at the Castle Mountain Ranch, where Bev takes charge of training horses and calving more than 300 heifers each spring. Bev is
active in area youth and CattleWomen’s activities, ranch rodeos, and guides hunters looking for elk each year. Past recipients of the award include Glenna Stucky of Avon, Floydena Garrison of Glen, Helen Hougen of Melstone, Marian Hanson of Ashland, Carol Mosher of Augusta and Donna SitzArthun of Billings. Nomination letters submitted by family or close friends should identify a ranching woman, who is a member of Montana Stockgrowers, describe her role on the ranch, and the characteristics that set her apart when supporting the family and ranch, as well as describe her involve-
Three new invasive plants added to noxious weed list Helena - The State of Montana updated the Montana State Noxious Weed List to include three new plants and shifted the priorities of three existing weeds effective July 2015. Noxious weeds are invasive plants that have been determined to have the potential to or have actual detrimental impacts to Montana’s environment and economy. Propagation of these state listed noxious weeds is prohibited by law. They are prioritized by the establishment of the weed and management criteria. “Noxious weeds can impact the ecology of local areas in many ways and they can have a large impact on Montana’s agricultural sector. We update the list to reflect the highest priority noxious weeds that we try to prevent from becoming established or propagated within the state,” said Statewide Noxious
Weed Coordinator Dave Burch. One new plant was added to the priority 1A list, “Common Reed” (Phragmites australis ssp. australis), which has been detected within the state. A priority 1A listing means the weeds are not present or have a very limited presence in Montana. If a weed is designated as a priority 1A it requires preventive measures, education about the noxious weed, and eradication if detected. “It’s extremely important that we do all we can to prevent, educate and, if necessary, eradicate any new priority 1A noxious weeds; based on their invasive behavior in nearby states, we believe they can have a very detrimental effect on our landscape. We often rely on eyes and ears out in the field to help manage and prevent noxious weeds from becoming established,
so it is important to know the state’s priority noxious weeds, and help identify and inform weed managers,” said Jane Mangold, associate professor and MSU Extension Invasive Plant Specialist. “Brazilian waterweed” (Egeria densa) and “Parrot Feather Watermilfoil” (Myriophyllum aquaticum or M. brasiliense) were added to the Regulated Plant List. Regulated plants require that none are sold or transported in Montana. “Eurasian watermilfoil” and “Flowering rush” were moved to a Priority 2A, while “Hoary alyssum” was moved to Priority 2B. Follow the link to view the current Montana Noxious Weed list: agr.mt.gov/agr/Programs/Weeds/PDF/2015We edList.pdf.

and develop agriculture and allied industries. For more information on the Montana Department of Agriculture,
to give residents opportunities to burn without endangering public health.” Open burning is burning outside in the open air without a receptacle. In Montana, it usually means burning yard or field waste in the fall and spring. It usually does not include small recreational fires, flares, or construction site heaters. Until Dec. 1, open burning is restricted to the time periods specified by DEQ. These times are available daily at www.burnclosures.mt.gov or by calling the 24-hour Ventilation Hotline at 800-225-6779. Both are updated by 5:00 each evening. The Burn Closures website also has information about what materials can and cannot be burned, frequently asked questions about open burning, major open burning permits, and local contact information.
