Mass fatality response training to be held in Baker

By Lori Kesinger In a small town, the windows in the houses rattle late at night, waking most out of their sleep. They wake, unfortunately, to tragedy as a large commuter flight has fallen from the sky, crashing just on the outskirts of the town. Rural emergency responders have been dispatched to handle any damage to infrastructure to the surrounding area, but all of the passengers were killed in the crash and the local hospital only has 15 additional beds and one morgue with room for 18 deceased. Two hundred and eleven passengers did not survive when the plane crashed.

So what does the local area do? How do they handle the proper

care needed for that many deceased?

This is one of the possible scenarios the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC) will address during training in Baker Sept. 30.

About 30 emergency responders from the region have registered for the mass fatality response training. The eight hour instructor-led course will help prepare rural first responders and officials with the basic knowledge, skills, and abilities to manage a mass fatality incident should it ever impact their area.

Participants include first responders, coroners/medical examiners, public health officials, and others with emergency re-

sponsibilities.

Issues addressed during the day will include establishing roles and responsibilities, handling family assistance issues, recovering and identifying human remains, managing diversity issues, developing mass fatality plans and identifying federal, state and local response resources.

Congress and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) established the RDPC to provide relevant all-hazards training to rural emergency responders.

All training delivered by the RDPC is certified by DHS and is offered tuition-free.

Baker Chamber welcomes fall with festival celebrated downtown

By Lori Kesinger It was all happening under sunny skies and with the sweet and salty smell of kettle corn during the Fall Festival held in downtown Baker Sept.

12. The annual Baker Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture sponsored event brought the community together to celebrate the changing of the seasons.

Dave and Wendy Shreeve from Forsyth brought their Prairie Fire Kettle Korn and several vendors set up around the festivities with everything from arts, crafts, home based business products and jewelry.

Members of the Fallon Medical Complex Foundation served hot dogs and tacos-in-a-bag to the lunch crowd.

Numerous children enjoyed Funflatables sponsored by the Baker Oil-

field Open Golf Committee and Fallon County Commission. The free inflatable fun included a joust arena, velcro wall, bounce house and obstacle courses.

Young and old alike enjoyed a variety of music provided by Dustan Davis.

In the afternoon a Rubber Duck Race was held on a makeshift river on the patio of the Baker Club hosted by the Chamber. Ten heats were held on the river and the winners of each heat moved onto the grand finale.

Grand finale winners were Andy Hepperle, Mary Mangold, and Allan Barth. Heat winners received gift certificates at local businesses. The finale winners received a percentage of funds raised for the races with the SEE FALL FESTIVAL, PAGE 10

By Lori Kesinger The Baker Police Department is reminding residents to secure their valuables and lock their cars.

The police department has received further reports of stolen property from inside vehicles parked in Baker. The thefts have often occurred through unlocked doors, however, leaving even a phone in plain sight may give a thief enough reason to break in.

These thefts often increase during warm weather simply because it is a lot more convenient to do it, especially later in the evening.

Citizens are advised to always lock their vehicles, remove any valuables and report any suspicious activity in the community.

Renner pleads not guilty Jacob Dean Renner, formerly of Baker, pleaded not guilty to felony burglary in Baker court Sept. 8.

Renner was a past employee of Equity Coop familiar with the location of a walk-in safe. After breaking into the building back in June, a surveillance video clearly identifying Renner showed him walking through the offices, entering the walk-in safe, and attempting to open a cash register.

Renner is next due in court Oct. 6.

- Daniel Stanton -

- Kenneth Wiman A funeral service for Kenneth B. Wiman, 85, of Baker was held Sept. 16, 2015, at Stevenson Funeral Home in Baker with Pastor Bruce Kolasch officiating. Burial was in the Bonnievale Cemetery in Baker.

A prayer service was held Sept. 15, 2015, at Stevenson Funeral Home in Baker.

Kenny passed away peacefully the morning of Sept.

13, 2015, at Fallon Medical Complex in Baker.

He was born Jan. 30, 1930, on the Sweeney place to Sten and Ida Wiman. Growing up he worked on the family ranch gaining knowledge and experience. He attended school until the eighth grade and then went to work full time on the ranch. During his teenage years, Kenny also learned to set pins at the bowling alley in Baker. He later went to work driving gravel truck on road construction in Forsyth.

July 22, 1950, he married the love of his life, Patricia Ann Oldis. The two then returned to Baker and Kenny was a pumper for Shell Oil. After learning about the oil industry, the pair decided to purchase Kenny’s parents’ ranch and made a life ranching and farming. They started a family completing it with four children: Rick, Shirley, and twin girls Fay and Kay. Kenny and Pat belonged to a square dance club, entertained with supper, cards and visiting. As the children got older, they bought a house in town and later sold the ranch to live in town full time. Ken decided to get into the modular home business and in his time put up 40 plus homes.

He also had a stock trailer sales and service company.

He truly enjoyed overhauling stock trailers and welding to build other types of trailers, too. Over the years, Ken and Pat hauled trailers for other dealers and traveled all over.

They made many friends and were able to see a lot of country. They also were able to spend much one on one time together over the miles!

When they were ready to slow down, they bought a motor home and spent the winters in Arizona. There they purchased property in North Ranch, right outside Congress, Ariz. Kenny enjoyed landscaping and helping his neighbors. After 52 years of marriage, Kenny lost his wife Pat to cancer in 2002.

Kenny had a passion to preserve history through the Fallon County Museum. He spent many hours doing repairs and handy work there.

He served on the Historical Society as vice president and was proud of the history that

our community shared there.

He was always pleased to help improve the community in any way he could and had a firm belief you should always leave things in better condition than what you found them in.

Over the years Kenny helped out many people. He gave them jobs and work experience from a range of grandkids mowing lawns to people in the community fixing fence, working livestock and running heavy equipment. Kenny was always willing to help someone out in need and made friends wherever he traveled.

April 3, 2009 in Yarnell, Ariz., Kenny married Norita Fried. The two made a life together based on love and good times. Together they enjoyed traveling, visiting family and sightseeing. Their favorite sight was the breathtaking Grand Canyon. Every Tuesday night they entertained friends with a sweet treat whether it was a delicious pie or bars and followed up with playing a friendly game of cards. The two became movie buffs by taking in comedies and box office hits regularly. When not traveling for fun, they were spending time seeing kids, grandkids and greatgrandkids.

Kenny is survived by his wife, Norita Fried, of Baker; sister, Ruth O’Connor, of Caldwell, Idaho; son, Rick (Debi) of Baker; three daughters, Shirley (Rollie) Maier of Baker, Fay (Jay) Swenson of Rapid City, S.D., and Kay (Peter Todd) Wiman-Wilson of Baker; three step-children, Larry (Louise) Fried of Vancouver, Wash., Eileen (Larry) Dahl of Plevna, and Brett (Shana) Fried of Minot, N.D.; ten grandchildren; five stepgrandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; three step-great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife Patricia Wiman; brothers, Sten and Morlan Wiman. Kenny will be dearly missed by all his friends and loved ones.

A rosary was held Sept. 15, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Miles City.

Dan passed away Sept.13, 2015, at Billings Clinic in Billings.

After a valiant eight year battle with a brain tumor, Daniel Joseph Stanton (DanDanny) was received back to the Lord, Sept. 13, 2015. Dan was born Dec. 8, 1967, in Circle to James L. Stanton and Patricia (Wise) Stanton.

He received his elementary school education in Richey, and graduated from Baker High School in 1986 where he was an outstanding athlete. He proceeded to play football and run track for Dickinson State University in Dickinson, N.D. Dan later obtained a master’s degree in educational leadership from Montana State UniversityBozeman. He married Kimberly Kremers Aug. 4, 1990, and they began their teaching careers with the Miles City Unified School District in 1991.

Dan enjoyed being an educator. However, coaching and working with young athletes was his true passion. Dan coached athletics at all levels, from Little League to the high school varsity level. He was most proud of all his Cowboy teams, especially his 2008 and 2010 teams who, with his son Kyle, won the Class A State Championship.

Dan’s greatest victory is the reward of eternal life. His passion for athletics arose from many heated football and basketball games with his six siblings. Sports were everything to Dan’s family, and to this day most family social gatherings and nearly all of their conversations revolve around an athletic event or discussion of an athlete.

Dan was a man of faith who lived a full and well-rounded life. In his free time he loved to watch football and basketball, Notre Dame and the Pittsburgh Steelers, in partic-

ular. In addition to his passion for athletic competition, Dan was an active member of the Sacred Heart Parish and Knights of Columbus in Miles City. He enjoyed being outdoors and spending time with his two sons, Kasey and Kyle. Dan also enjoyed taking his two dogs, Jack and Doc, for long walks. More than anything, Dan will be remembered for his positive attitude, tenacity, and mentorship. His roles as an educator and coach allowed him to touch the lives of numerous students and athletes in the Miles City community and beyond. Dan’s competitive spirit, courage, and toughness were contagious to all those around him. His sense of humor was quite unique.

Dan’s family and close friends were able to spend meaningful time with him during his final weeks.

He was preceded in death by his father, Jim Stanton.

Dan is survived by his wife Kim; sons Kasey and Kyle; his mother Patricia; siblings and their families: Kathy and Dave, their children Brandon, Makayla, Alek and Kaleb; Jim and Karla and their children Marissa, James, Jacob, and Michael; Pete and Candace, their children Luke and Maddy; Rob and Shelly, their son Connor; Missy and Brad, their children Tyson, Braden and Ryan; Terri and Nic and their children Sadie, Nate, Ali, and Patrick; as well as numerous cousins.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to: “Wake Up & Lace Up” in care of Cindy Reid (address: 119 Balsam Drive, Miles City, MT 59301; phone 406-2343532), or to a charity of one’s choice.

A rosary/vigil will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015 at Stevenson Funeral Home in Baker with visitation one hour prior.

Bonnie passed away in Billings Sept. 1, 2015.

Bonita Rae Hall “Bonnie” was born June 15, 1944 in Baker, daughter of Rushmore and Eulita Hall. Bonnie grew up on the Hall Ranch and attended school in Baker. She graduated a Spartan from Baker High School.

After graduation, Bonnie went to business school and then returned to Baker to start her business with a friend called SCAT Answering Service which started in her business partner’s basement, then moved to the Baker Hotel. Bonnie loved people and it showed with her waitressing skills, was also a great cook, and she used both serving the public waitressing as a car hop on roller skates to managing in her own establishments (The Blue Room and Talk of the Town in Baker). Bonnie was known for her big heart and even bigger smile.

Monte Smith entered her life and they were joined in marriage Nov. 12, 1964 in South Dakota. To this union they were blessed with three children. The Smith family made their homes in Utah, Glendive and later in Baker and Plevna. Bonnie had a knack for interior design and is well known for her keen sense of decoration. She loved her homes and was proud of the work she put in them. Her home was always filled with a comfort of love, family and friendship.

After her children were grown, Bonnie pursued her dream to become a beautician. She moved to Billings to attend Blanco Blanco where she made her dream a reality, graduating and passing her state boards.

Bonnie made Billings her home and what a beautiful home it was with the Yellowstone River in her front yard and bird houses and flowers making her little slice of heaven perfect. With country music playing and a jig to be danced, there was never a dull moment. She always had a room open for any family passing through for a visit.

As her health began to fail from diabetes, she returned to

her former passion of waitressing. Her children were there to help her and enjoy what would be her golden years. Her love of family and friends kept her going and not to mention her love of basketball. Bonnie is known very well for her ability to cheer, her excitement and eyes twinkling showed through whether it was a derby, basketball game or just to motivate a loved one. Bonnie’s granddaughter Kytlun and great-granddaughter Chevy moved in with her to keep her at home as long as they could. Their care and love really put a smile on her face.

When her eyesight was nearly gone, she went and lived with her daughter Lisa and Jeff who cared deeply and lovingly for her until she went into a home.

Bonnie’s greatest love was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her three children, Marsha Pence (Cyndy and Lawaina), and Lisa Peterson (Jeff) who both reside in Billings, and Jason (Michelle) of Baker; grandchildren Keith (Kelsie) Peterson, Karsten (Sarah) Peterson, Kytlun (Mike) Iversen, Damien Martinez, Tyrell Nelson, Cole Nelson, DesiRae Guse, Jeffery Nelson, Kobe Nelson, Shelby Smith, Turner Smith, Tylar Smith; greatgrandchildren Kelton Peterson, Karter Peterson, Chevelle Gilmore; these were the lights of Bonnie’s life.

Farm to School Ag Program

By Jake Edgell A few weeks before school began, the Plevna High School greenhouse was cleaned out and prepared for the beginning of a project called the Farm to School program. Students participated in educational activities related to agriculture, food, health, and nutrition. This will allow Ag Ed and FFA members to grow fresh vegetables in the greenhouse which will be har-

vested and served in the school cafeteria. The students procure hands-on experience while preparing a greenhouse and raising plants. Things such as mixing growing medium, planting seeds, and faithfully watering plants are all great opportunities for students at our school.

The program also gives other teachers a platform to teach core content areas such as science, math, and language arts.

District Leadership School held in Miles City

By Dylan Sander September 8, the Plevna FFA Chapter attended District Leadership School (DLS) in Miles City. DLS began with a delicious

supper of burgers, chips and desserts. After dinner everyone was split into groups to learn all there is to know about leadership in FFA. State officers led activities that

helped members develop leadership skills.

After hours of learning, it was finally time to travel home with the faint glow of the Aurora Borealis lighting the way.

Elementary reading party

By Chris Skogas At the end of each school year, students meet with their teachers to set a reading goal for the summer. Upon returning to school in the fall, students who complete their goal are able to attend a party.

Reading over the summer helps students stay sharp and they had fun celebrating their accomplishments.

This year these students, first through sixth grade, went to Medicine Rocks Sept. 4. Upon arrival, they had hot dogs, snacks, and juice for lunch.

Then the kids tried mountaineering while exploring the rocks. Mrs. Tunby read about the history of Medicine Rocks Students and teachers enjoying a day outside at Medicine Rocks for elementary and then they headed home. reading party.
