Linda Rost accepting “Teacher of the Year Award” from Superintendent Arntzen, along with her husband, Jay and children, Lukas, Rye and Erika.

Superintendent Arntzen announces Linda Rost of Baker as Montana’s 2020 Teacher of the Year State Superintendent Elsie Arntzen joined Baker High School students, teachers, and administrators Sept. 3, to congratulate Linda Rost on being named Montana’s 2020 Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Rost is a high school science teacher with a Master’s Degree in Science Education from MSU and is working towards a Ph.D. from Texas Tech.

She will go on to represent Montana in the 2020 National Teacher of the Year competition.

“Congratulations to Mrs. Rost and the entire Baker community! It is an honor to appoint Linda to represent Montana in the National Teacher of the Year program,” State Superintendent Elsie Arntzen stated. “Linda will serve as a teacher-leader in Montana and as a strong voice for our rural schools on the national stage. Her passion for student-centered learning along with college and career readiness will greatly benefit education in our state.”

“Mrs. Rost is an inspirational teacher who motivates deep learning in her students and we are very proud and honored to have her on our educational team,” commented Baker High School Principal Dave Breitbach. “In a small school setting, using instructional strategies that engage all students in a diversified classroom is just one challenge Mrs. Rost must overcome on a daily basis. At Baker High School, classroom diversity may begin with the mixing of age groups and then is further complicated by a wide range

of comprehension levels, science backgrounds, and varied areas of interest. Regardless of the student make-up in her classes, Mrs. Rost finds ways to connect to each and every student, who ultimately leave her classroom better than when they entered.”

Mrs. Rost rose to the top of the field after a rigorous and competitive selection process. An initial selection committee met to review applications last month and recommend finalists who were interviewed by a separate committee.

Other finalists included Jordan Lankford-Forster from Great Falls, Traci Doll from Billings, and Connie Wittak from Scobey.

The selection committees consisted of representatives from the Montana Advisory Council on Indian Education, the Montana University System, the Board of Public Education, the Governor’s Office, the Montana Small Schools Alliance, the Montana Chamber of Commerce, the Montana Farm Bureau Federation, the Montana Legislature, the East Helena School Board, and 2019 Montana Teacher of the Year Dylan Huisken.

Rost receives Montana Teacher of the Year Award

By Shannon Johnson

Linda Rost, a science teacher at Baker High School, received the Montana Teacher of the Year Award on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

Rost’s family presented the award to her Tuesday morning and took her by complete surprise. “It feels so surreal. I’m not sure it really happened,” she admitted. “I think that teaching is the most important and noblest profession and the absolute best job in the world. It is such an honor to be recognized for teaching because I am completely obsessed with it and with my students.”

Rost teaches several science classes including Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, AP Biology and Science Research to 10th-12th graders. “I love watching people learn and get excited about their own learning and growth. I see so many students transform from reluctant learners to those excited about science, school, and learning. That’s the stuff of life,” Rost gushed. “I also love that teaching is such a challenging and creative field. I can express my creativity, my love for my subject area and my love for my students every day.”

Discussion of forming a special improvement district

By Shannon Johnson

The City of Baker held an informational meeting on Sept. 4 at 8 p.m. in the courtroom at the Fallon County Courthouse regarding the potential for the formation of special improvement district for the city streets.

The purpose of forming a special improvement district would be to make needed repairs on some streets, as well as doing preventative maintenance, such as chipping and sealing, on streets that are still in good condition.

Property owners in the district would see a

Motion to allow more than three animals per residence on a permit basis failed

By Shannon Johnson

In July, a motion to allow households to exceed the limit of three animals per household on a permit basis for 4-H purposes was voted down after Baker residents requested permission to keep rabbits at their residence for their children’s 4-H projects.

During the meeting there were comments in favor of the permits since they could be

TODAY’S FORECAST High: 82 Low: 55

revoked if necessary. There were additional comments that there are already issues with dogs, cats and rabbits within the city currently.

After discussion and deliberation, Fradenburgh and Zachmann voted in favor, while Ehret and LaCroix voted against it. Mayor Pratt voted against it as well, and the motion failed.

property tax increase of an estimated $300$500 annually per lot for five years to fund the improvements.

As of now the special improvement district has not been formed. If it is formed, the city will send out letters to all the property owners

in the district. Once they have received that, they will have the option to submit a written protest with the properties that they own. Following that, they will hold a protest hearing and decide whether they will move forward with the improvements or not.

City of Baker gives back to city employees

By Shannon Johnson

As an offered benefit, city employees who own their home and reside in that home will now have the base rates for their water, sewer and garbage paid.

The base rate is $87 monthly, and while Baker residents generally have 2,000 gallons of water included in their base rate, the city employees who receive this benefit will not.

This benefit is only for permanent full and part time city employees who own their home and reside in it. Elected officials are not eligible to receive this benefit.

With the start of a new school year, we went around and asked some of our residents what their advise would be for the students today. Pictured is Dick Heineman with his “Villa Advise”.

FROM PAGE 1

“Whenever I have special guests in my classroom and I see them visiting with my students, I think about how lucky I am that I get to work with my students every day and watch them learn, but these guests only get a small amount of time to interact with my students. Their jobs must really stink,” she playfully added.

Rost’s passion for teaching, science, growth, and her students all played a contributing role in her being able to win this award. “I have watched my students accomplish really brave and amazing things and that has really pushed me to challenge myself too,” she explained. “I have worked to improve and

hone my teaching, develop engaging lessons, but also to really listen and study my students’ learning. I am really open to any method that will help them learn. I am a scientist and my students are my test subjects!”

“I have also had opportunities to grow by serving in leadership positions across the state and mentor many other teachers through long term programs that transform their teaching and learning,” she added.

Rost puts an emphasis on the children and their own growth as people when it comes to teaching. “These kids I teach are incredible.

They are creative, innovative, hard-working, and so inspiring,” Rost commented.

“We need to stop complaining about them being moody teenagers, because it’s actual-

ly developmentally appropriate for them to be everything adults complain about teenagers for being. We were that way too, and they are supposed to be that way. They want something good to plug into. They want what they do and say and think to matter; as adults, we also want that.

They want to be able to express themselves for who they are and to be loved for that.”

“They really, literally are the future and we need to look at them through those eyes,” Rost acknowledged.

Baker High School senior makes music abroad ~ Part 2 dents were able to see the site that they took place at before heading to Innsbruck.

They explored the Austrian city and did some shopping before returning to Seefeld.

That evening in Seefeld the band held their concert in the park, and the choir performed in a church there.

The following day, they traveled to Venice, Italy by way of a boat taxi. A tourguide showed them around the city. They were able to visit a glassblowing factory to watch glassblowers create different things using their artistic and refined skill. The choir met to sing a few songs in the San Marco Cathedral before returning to Seefeld where they would rest for the

Colorful buildings in an Austrian village.

The following morning the group left for Switzerland, where they would stay in the small village of Crans-Montana. Alissa, as well as many others, were happy to arrive in a place with less hustle and bustle. The group became a lot more comfortable

watching the sunset.

The next morning, she had some free time, so she rode the cable cars up towards the mountains. Later, they group toured a castle and walked along the lake before going to the town of Montreux. “It’s kind of famous, there’s a stat-

cert. It was a late night, as the performance didn’t begin until 8:30 p.m. and band and choir each had about ten songs. “Everyone in the town comes to see it. It’s a pretty big deal,” Alissa recalled the biggest crowd they performed for. “A lot of peo-

ping and go up to the mountains before returning to Crans-Montana that evening to attend a Swiss Fondue party that the locals put on for them. “They had music and dancing, and a lot of traditional performances for us,” she grinned. At the end of the

night. “We didn’t do a full concert, but we sang a couple,” said Alissa.

The next day they departed Austria and made their way to Germany. In Germany, their first stop was Dachau concentration camp. Dachau was the first of the nazi concentration camps, opened in 1933 by Heinrich Himmler.

It held over 188,000 prisoners until 1945. “It was hard seeing everything,” Alissa said despairingly. After leaving Dachau the group continued to Rothenburg, Germany, a small village with a wall around it from the war, where they would find sleep.

Eastern Plains Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC), which serves Fallon, Carter, Wibaux, Prairie, and Dawson County is committed to providing the support needed for a better economy in eastern Montana through grant writing, business development and technical assistance. EPEDC employs Beth Epley, Executive Director and Ashley Bonamie, Community Development Specialist, in their Baker office to assist businesses, nonprofits and

governments in promoting economic development and diversification.

The Montana Department of Transportation offers grants to support emergency medical services because they found that the provision of care that is administered by professional paramedics and emergency medical technicians before the patient reaches the hospital – known as prehospital emergency medical services – is a critical component of Montana’s health care system. The availability of prehospital emergency medical services can improve the medical outcome for people suffering medical emergencies and may improve the safety of motorists on Montana roads by providing emergency response to vehicle crash sites.

Fallon County EMS Director Lisa Mitchell actively sought funding for the Stryker Power-Load System and the Power Cot because of the critical service it provides for both patient and EMS safety.

The Stryker Power-Load is

a powered cot fastening system which allows EMS personnel to do their jobs more safely by raising, lowering, loading and unloading the cot at the touch of a button.

This automated loading system is critical in reducing the risk of debilitating back injuries for EMS caregivers.

Most importantly, the Stryker Power-LOAD provides improved patient care and stability in the transportation by ensuring high-quality security. By purchasing a Stryker Power-LOAD system, Fallon County EMS can reduce wear and damage on their primary ambulance, provide consistency of service regardless of which unit responds to a call, preserve back health of volunteer EMTs and ensure the safety of the patient during transport.

Stapleton Announces HAVA Grant Allocations for County Election Offices

Secretary of State Corey Stapleton announced the awarding of 2018 HAVA Election Security Grants to Montana’s counties.

The funds are part of a federal appropriation to update and improve security in elections. A $750,000 subgrant was made available to all Montana counties to share in the replacement of antiquated voting equipment or to supplement current voting equipment.

Fallon County was awarded $3,529.21, Carter County $7,058.42 and Wibaux Coun-

ty $1,764 to buy the new ExpressVote voting system, which will be easier to manage for the election judges and a great benefit to voters with disabilities. The 2019 Montana legislature approved use of the new technology at the request of Secretary Stapleton, who worked with disability groups on the legislation.

“This is a big step in the right direction for counties to upgrade election technology that strengthens Montana’s election security ahead of 2020,” said Stapleton.

By Alexia Wills

Mrs. Oberlander’s second grade class is working on an ongoing experiment with ten parsley plants. They recently planted their parsley and as the plants grow, they will be testing how they react with no sunlight vs.

complete sun light. They will keep a record of their project and when done, they can make comparisons of each condition. They will also be experimenting with over-watering and under watering the parsley plants. We look forward to see what happens in the near future.

O’Fallon Historical Museum News

This fall the O’Fallon Historical Museum is partnering with the Montana Preservation Alliance to complete the Big Sky Schoolhouse Survey in Fallon County. This project is a comprehensive statewide architectural survey of Montana’s one and two-room schoolhouses that seeks to locate and document the remaining schoolhouses in every county under the Big Sky. With assistance from student interns and volunteers, MPA has completed survey work in about half of Montana’s 56 counties. Their long-term goal is to provide technical assistance to endangered schoolhouses with notable historic integrity. Additionally, the research will be collected into a database, usable for future studies and preservation work. So far we have documented or are planning to document these country schools in Fallon County: Willard, Scole, Chimney Creek, Prairie Rose, Long, Hillside, O’Donnell and Hidden Water.

If you know of any country schools that are still standing that we have missed, please contact the museum at 406-778-3265 or museum@ falloncounty.net so we can add them to our list.

Feel free to stop by with any information you may have. We have moved to our winter hours as of Sept. 1 and are now open Monday through Friday, 9-12 and 1-4. We appreciate your help in preserving our county’s history!

MUSIC

FROM PAGE 4

The group spent the next morning going through the many interesting shops in Rothenburg, including a Medieval weapons and armor store, a music store, and a large Christmas store. “They had a lot of Cuckoo clocks there, so I got one of those,” she said.

That evening the band held their concert in the market square and the choir held theirs in a church. “That was our last concert,” noted Alissa. Following their performances, the Northern Ambassadors group had a party where they laughed, told stories, and recalled experiences from their travels.

The next day most of the students flew from Frankfurt back to the United States while about one fourth of the students headed to Greece for an optional extension.

Alissa and the remaining students landed in Athens, Greece where they were able to see the Acropolis Museum.

The next day they went on a sight seeing tour before going shopping in the Plaka, a neighborhood in Athens. The evening was finished off with the entertainment of singing and dancing while they enjoyed a traditional meal.

On the last day of their trip they went on a cruise. “We went to three different Greek islands,” said Alissa. Once they arrived at the last island, they were able to get out and swim. They flew back to Frankfurt, Germany for the night. “We just had dinner and talked and shared memories.” The next day they flew back to the United States.

Fallon County Times Alissa landed in Minneapolis and arrived home on July 28.

Among her favorite places were Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. “I think it was the small-town aspect of it,” Alissa disclosed. One of them sticks out in her mind because of the kind-hearted villagers and the interesting wall. “If I had to pick a favorite it would probably be Germany.”

Alissa smiled, recalling the performances, her favorite experience of all of her travels. “It was so cool being a part of something so big.”
