Breitbach joins the staff at Baker Public Schools
TOM BREITBACH
By Lori Kesinger Tom Breitbach has returned to his hometown and is teaching earth science/eighth grade science, biology and physics. He will also be assisting with high school girls’ basketball and high school golf. Breitbach grew up in Baker and graduated from Dickinson State University with a degree in composite science. He also earned a master’s degree from Lesley University. Breitbach was influenced by his dad and several other teachers in his decision to become an educator. His dad taught vo-ag and vo-ed for over 30 years at Baker High School.
Breitbach started his teaching career in Verona, ND. For the past 25 years he has been teaching at Shields Valley in Clyde Park. “I have been teaching for 27 years but changing schools is challenging. I have already received so much help from administrators and teachers that the transition from Shields Valley to Baker has been a smooth one,” Breitbach said. “I simply want to provide the students here with the best education I can give them.” Breitbach further said he wants his students to leave his classes with a better understanding of the natural world around them.
Breitbach is married to Marci (Sieler) who is originally from Plevna. She is a certified athletic trainer working at Superior Care Villa and will also do some training with BHS athletes. “Being able to come back home was important to both my wife and I. I feel the Baker school system is a very good system and I wanted to be a part of it,” Breitbach said. Breitbach enjoys spending time with his family and is also an avid golfer.
Ismay Community Church celebrates 100 years of God’s faithfulness By Lori Kesinger A friendly, little church on the prairie has stood the test of time to declare the goodness and grace of God to a rural community. The Ismay Community Church is celebrating a 100 years since its beginning on the first Sunday in September. Ismay was once a bustling town of cowboys and railroad men. The town began in 1908 with the construction of the railroad across Montana and consisted of many of the amenities of early towns including a general store, banks, gas station, elevator, train depot and jail. In 1914, a few people gathered together and decided they wanted to start a church amidst the hub of activity. They borrowed $500 from the General Assembly of the Presbyterian to start the church in 1915. Stained glass windows, hardwood pews, ornate deacons chairs and pulpit, and a reed organ were all part of the original building and the church was called the First Presbyterian. It was a privilege for the church to serve God and the community. Time after time, the hymns of God’s love and faithfulness resounded from the organ as children turned a wheel to create the stream of air that would cause the reeds to vibrate and the organist played. The gospel was proclaimed and the church flourished for years until there was a decline in population. It especially declined when the state rerouted Highway 12 six miles outside of town in 1937. Church attendance and services fluctuated over time but service was always held on Easter Sunday. The congregation worked closely with the Presbyterian Church in Miles City for many years. Rev. John B. Fitz from the Presbyterian Church in Miles City served the church from 1942 until his passing in 1968, followed by Rev. Rubesh and Rev. Glaner. Services were usually conducted once or twice a
month. During the 70s, a group of people studying the Bible discussed forming a new, non-denominational church at Ismay. In the spring of 1979, Rev. Bill Wohlers, pastor of the Emmanuel Congregational Church of Plevna, now the Emanuel Evangelical Free Church, was contacted to see if he would be willing to conduct services in Ismay. The church was incorporated as the Ismay Community Church in April the same year. No membership has been required since then and it continues as a non-denominational church. In 1981, Rev. David Johnson was pastoring when a major remodel of the church building was undertaken to preserve the historic and original structure of the building. Hundreds of volunteer hours were given on a weekly basis over a four year period before the project was finally completed in 1984. Donations for the project and the hours spent in labor were all so the Lord’s work could continue for years to come. The building was lifted up and a new basement was constructed under it. Once the basement was completed with a fellowship meeting room, kitchen and washroom, work began upstairs. The interior walls were revamped and all of the wood was refinished. Several work days were held in the fall of 1984 to scrape and repaint the exterior. The remodel included the installation of a furnace to replace a single gas stove used for years to heat the building. Indoor
Chief Reddick appointed to State Police Board By Lori Kesinger Baker Police Chief Mike Reddick was recently appointed to the executive board of the Montana Association of Chiefs of Police (MACOP). Reddick was recognized by his peers for his police administrative skills and experience and was recommended POLICE CHIEF for a position on the board. MIKE REDDICK The MACOP is a group of police administrators from across the state.

Morris has been a lifelong member of the Baker community and said he has always been interested in city government. He is currently employed as an agent at the Insurance Store.

plumbing also took the place of an outhouse. The public was invited to join the dedication service on a fall day in late October 1984. Two hundred people came together to celebrate the restoration of the church. In the years that followed, numerous ministers served the needs of the church including Rev. Byrd Stilwell, Rev. Steven May and Rev. Pat Linger. The church has always been thankful for the First Baptist and Emanuel Evangelical Free Churches of Plevna for sharing their ministers and for the many guest speakers from across Southeastern Montana who have filled in over the years. Today at Ismay, a post office, fire department, elevator and the church are the remnants of the once thriving town. The Bible believing church that opened its heart and doors to anyone attending persevered through it all. Some families have SEE ISMAY CHURCH, PAGE 6

See those brilliant yellow blossoms Along the creek bank clinging? They seem to come at cricket season As a backdrop for their singing.
Meadowlarks are down to chirping Soon I’m sure they’ll take their flight. We have loved their ringing singing Seems to set the prairies right.
I love the cricket’s chirpy chatter Though it signals fall is near. They sing so much on every hand Such a pleasant sound to hear.
Never mind though summer’s fleeting And we cling to keep it here. It’s just retiring for a season And will come again next year. By Prairie Singer

Across eastern Montana a lot of white butterflies like this one, and yellow ones can be seen flying around. According to the MSU Extension, the white butterflies are “cabbage whites” and the yellow ones are “sulphurs”. These butterflies are not causing damage to crops or gardens. They are looking for nectar to feed on and for egg-laying sites. The caterpillar stage does feed on plants, and the larvae of the cabbage whites are occasionally minor pests of Montana crops but at this late stage in the growing season when crops are being harvested, no crop damage is expected.
Labor Day celebrates American workers By Lori Kesinger Since the very first holiday, Labor Day has been a time for people to take the day off and relax. It also means the end of summer for many Americans and is often celebrated by camping, parades, and other events. Labor Day, observed on the first Monday in September, pays tribute to the contributions made by American workers. The first Labor Day was created by the labor movement and was held Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City. In the late 1800s, the average American worked 12 hour days, seven days a week to make a basic living. Even children as young as five worked in mills, factories and mines. Working conditions for people of all ages were extremely poor and unsafe. Workers and labor unions began organizing strikes and rallies to protest the poor conditions.
Ten thousand workers took unpaid time off to march in a parade on the first Labor Day in history. Not long after the first celebration, Labor Day was moved to the first Monday in September. After a major turning point in American labor history concerning workers’ rights in 1894, Congress made Labor Day a national holiday.

Smoke from fires burning in the greater Northwest and Canada blanketed the horizon west of Baker Aug. 28. According to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, elevated smoke concentrations across southeastern Montana have been periodically at unhealthy levels. Smoke could continue to impact the region on and off until major fires are brought under control.
Apprentice Hunter Rule approved for youth hunt Montana’s Fish & Wildlife Commission recently confirmed that some youth who take advantage of the state’s new “apprentice hunter” law will have the opportunity to participate in Montana’s special youth hunts. The apprentice hunter law which was enacted earlier this year by the state legislature, allows youth 10-17 years of age to obtain a certification to purchase some Montana hunting licenses before completing a hunter education course. Apprentice hunters, however, are required to be accompanied by an adult mentor. Montana’s special youth hunts are for two days and are set aside for youngsters 10-15 years of age. Montana offers two youth only hunting opportunities, one for waterfowl and pheasants on Sept. 26-27; and one for deer Oct. 15-16. The two day youth hunts are open to: • legally licensed 12-15 year olds who have completed hunter education and who are accompanied by a non-hunting adult at least 18 years of age; • and properly certified and legally licensed apprentice hunters 10-15 years of age who are accompanied by a non-hunting adult “mentor” at least 21 years of age. Apprentice Hunter Details: Under the law, apprenticehunter certification is for two license years only. After two years, the apprentice hunter
must complete a hunter safety and education course. Also, to participate in the Apprentice Hunter program, prospective hunters must: • be between the ages of 1017 years old; • obtain a $5 certification from a FWP office; certification forms are available online; • have all appropriate licenses in their possession at all times while in the field. • be accompanied by a mentor 21 years of age or older. For a prospective mentor to participate, he or she must be: • 21 years old or older; • related to the apprentice by blood, adoption, or marriage; or be the apprentice’s legal guardian, or appointed by the apprentice’s legal guardian; • have completed hunter education - if born after Jan. 1, 1985; • have a current Montana hunting license; • agree to supervise and remain within sight of and direct voice contact with the apprentice hunter at all times while in the field; • only accompany one apprentice per hunting trip; • confirm that the apprentice is psychologically and physi-
cally prepared to hunt. Mentors are also required to complete, sign and carry a form while accompanying the apprentice hunter. Mentor forms are free and are also available via FWP’s website. An apprentice hunter is not eligible to obtain a special bow and arrow license without first completing a bowhunter education course; a resident hound training license for chasing mountain lion; a bighorn sheep license; an elk license if under 15 years of
age. Nor can an apprentice hunter participate in any of Montana’s limited quota hunting license or permit drawings. Violation of the terms by an apprentice hunter or mentor could result in the loss of hunting privileges for up to one full license season. The $5 Apprentice Certification is available only from FWP offices. For more information, visit FWP’s website at fwp.mt.gov, then click “Apprentice Hunters”.

CORRESPONDENCEStage 2 Fire Restrictions The Commission received an email from the Montana Department of Agriculture dated August 19, 2015 regarding the impact of Governor Steve Bullock’s Stage 2 Fire Restrictions and Agricultural Related Activities. The letter asked the Commission to consider exempting agricultural related activities from the Stage 2 Fire Restrictions to allow harvesting and other agricultural activities. The Commission called Tom Muckle, Rural Fire Chief, and left a message on his voicemail in order to speak to him prior to making a decision on this matter. Kramlick Box Culvert ProjectThe Commission received a copy of the Barrow Agreement dated August 17, 2015 between Diamond J Construction and Rod Kramlick in which Diamond J Construction agrees to pay Rod Kramlick $9,000 for barrow material to be taken from his land for the Kramlick Box Culvert project.

The County does not compensate employees who serve on boards or do volunteer work for other County departments but requires them to take vacation time if it is during business hours. This has not been put into a formal policy but Julie Straub will create a policy so that it applies to all board members and volunteers who are also employees of Fallon County. Fallon County Board Sick Leave PolicyJulie Straub said the County’s current sick leave policy is based on the Montana’s Operations Manual and it is very specific on what an employee can use sick leave for. Julie said in regards to “mental health” it requires a diagnosis from a doctor before a person can use sick leave for mental issues and she asked if the Commission would consider allowing someone to be able to use sick leave for mental issues without a diagnosis. The Commission said they would like to review other policies before making a decision. 11:50am- Debbie Wyrick joined the meeting.

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 Water service rates: $3.00 increase on base and 15% on increments more or less. 5/8 or 3/4 meter.

Mary said Faron Henderson, Contracted Planner, has not submitted the detailed invoice as requested by the Commission for his June invoice. Mary and the Commission discussed the July invoice that was submitted. Mary gave the Commission copies of the Memorandums she drafted to the Planning Board regarding the rates and work billed on the invoices from Trotter and Associates and Kadrmas, Lee and Jackson (KLJ). LOWER BAKER LAKE DAM INSPECTION REPORT Present: Shannon Hewson, Brosz Engineering Shannon Hewson gave the Lower Baker Lake Dam Inspection Report to the Commission to review. The Commission and Shannon reviewed the items that were addressed in the report such as monitoring the ditch for erosion, not cutting upstream any further and removing the small trees along Highway 7 by the Afrank property to prevent damage occurring from the root systems. The Commission told Shannon about the drainage problems by the old Denbury building Dave Havens made them aware of earlier in the day. The Commission asked Shannon to go with Dave Havens to look at the culvert. 1:40pm- Shannon Hewson and Dave Havens left the meeting to go look at the Prairie Street culvert. 1:55pm- Dave Havens and Shannon Hewson joined the meeting. Shannon said he is going to do some comps to see what size of culvert would be needed for the area. He said the pipe itself looked low and that could be contributing to the problem as well. 2:00PM DETENTION OFFICER AND DISPATCHER JOB DUTIES DISCUSSION Present: Julie Straub, Human Resource Manager; Trent Harbaugh, Sheriff; Nic Eisele, Undersheriff; Brenda Hoeger, Dispatch Supervisor Trent Harbaugh is going to start recruiting for the Detention Officer positions right after Labor Day and is hoping 5-6 weeks after recruiting begins they will have them working in the jail. Trent said until all four detention officers are hired and basic certified the Dispatchers will have to continue to do detention officer duties as well. After the Detention Officers are basic
certified the Dispatchers will do video monitoring and hourly log notes only. The Commission, Trent and Brenda Hoeger discussed how the jail will be covered if a Detention Officer is sick or on vacation and ways the Dispatchers can help with detention officer duties when needed. 3:00PM MUSEUM EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE DISCUSSION Present: Karen Banister, Museum Curator; Joe Janz, Outside Building Maintenance Supervisor; Julie Straub, Human Resource Manager Karen Banister told the Commission there have been times when a visitor will come into the Museum and surrounding buildings that make her feel uncomfortable. When this happens she has called Joe Janz, Outside Building Maintenance Supervisor; DuWayne Bohle, Special Projects Technician; or a Police Officer to come to the building so she isn’t alone with that person. The Commission said they would like her to call law enforcement rather than Joe or DuWayne as they aren’t trained to deal with a dangerous situation if it happened. The Commission said Bob Brenner with Tab Electronics is researching radios that could transmit information into the dispatch center. The Commission will meet with Bob Brenner next week and will give an update to Karen and Julie on what they find out from him regarding the radios. Karen told the Commission that her summer help Darby Bettenhausen’s last day is this week and the Museum is advertised as being open seven days a week up until the end of August. She asked the Commission if they wanted her to work overtime to cover the seven days this week or close the Museum on Sunday so she doesn’t work overtime. Karen said the Museum Board would like it to be closed on Sunday and the Commission agreed. 3:15pm- Karen Banister and Joe Janz left the meeting. 3:15PM SAFETY TRAINING DISCUSSION Present: Julie Straub, Human Resource Manager Julie Straub asked Commissioner Ranum about the feedback Commissioner Ranum received regarding the Safety Training. Commissioner Ranum said she
would like motivational training and safety DVDs used for the safety meetings. Julie said she heard feedback from employees that they didn’t want to watch safety videos anymore but will do what the Commission would like. Deb said she would like to use motivational material to help create a more positive working environment. Julie said she could do training regarding that in the future. 3:30PM PRAIRIE STREET CULVERT The Commission and Dave Havens left to go view the Prairie Street culvert by the old Conoco Phillips building that was discussed earlier in the day. 4:00pm- The Commission and Dave Havens returned to the Courthouse. 4:00PM COUNTY ATTORNEY UPDATES Present: Darcy Wassmann, County Attorney Surrender and Lease Agreement for Lutheran BuildingDarcy Wassmann, County Attorney, made revisions to the Surrender and Lease Agreement on behalf of the Commission and will send it to Rich Batterman, the attorney who drafted the agreement. Rifle Range Contracted PositionDarcy said after doing more research on contracting a person to manage the Indoor Shooting Complex, she advises the Commission not to. She said it would give all control to the contracted person on the operations of the facility while the County would have all the liability. The County also wouldn’t have any recourse if something were to happen due to the contracted person’s negligence. Trotter & Associates ContractThe Commission would like Darcy to review the Trotter & Associates contract. 4:20pm- Julie Straub, Human Resource Manager, joined the meeting. Rifle Range Contracted PositionDarcy explained to Julie Straub why she advised the Commission to not hire a Contracted Manager. Julie, Darcy and the Commission discussed hiring a part-time employee instead and the duties the position would be responsible. 5:00PM ADJOURN (A complete set of minutes are available at the Clerk & Recorder’s Office.)
