Okland To Be FeaturedAt Alexander’s 66th

Annual Old SettlersDay Celebration

Solveig Okland, longtime resident of Alexander, now ofPolson, MT, will be featured this year at Alexander’s 66th An-nual Old Settlers Day celebration Thursday, Sept. 1 throughSaturday, Sept. 3.

Events start Thursday, Sept. 1 with the bonfire at 7 p.m.and the burying of the beef.

Friday’s events begin with the Chili Cookoff from 3-7p.m. Gather around for the Old Time Music by “Wes and theSidewinders” playing in the fire hall.

The main events start Saturday from 8-11 a.m. with reg-istration in the park.

The parade down Main Street begins at 11 a.m.Be sure to purchase your button which entitles you to

the beef barbecue at noon in the park.A program honoring Okland will be in the park at 1 p.m.There will be a Kids Carnival, Karaoke and fun and

games.“Singing Star DJ with Trudi” will be providing the enter-

tainment for the street dance from 9 p.m.-1 a.m.

She graduated from Lambert High School in 2005 andreceived her Bachelor’s Degree in mass communicationswith a minor in international studies from MSU-Billings in2009. She then went on to receive her Master’s Degree inbroadcast journalism from the University of Montana.

She credits her pageantry aspirations to Jana LaBree, aformer Miss Montana pageant winner who visited Vaira’sschool in Lambert back in 2000. “Her words really had aprofound impact on me. I used to dance for the Just for Kicksstudio in Fairview and we used to provide the entertainmentfor the Miss Northeastern Montana Pageant that used to beheld in Sidney and that experience just stayed with me,” shesaid. The pageant competition has since dissolved.

Being in the spotlight doesn’t make Vaira nervous asshe is currently a news reporter for KULR, an NBC affiliatestation in Billings and has plans of staying in the media in-dustry.

Vaira said she is ready for this competition stating that itfollows the same judging criteria as the Miss America styledpageant which includes a personal interview, talent perfor-mance, lifestyle and fitness in swimsuit, evening wear andan onstage question. “I don’t get nervous about being in thecompetition but I do find it challenging when it comes to timemanagement. Pageants take an enormous amount of timeand a person really has to utilize time management to makeit work,” she said.

As a vocalist, she will be performing the song ‘You RaiseMe Up’ by Josh Groban.

Vaira is an only child. Her parents are Collin Vaira, Lam-bert, and Mary Vaira, Billings.

Together We Can ImpactUnderage Drinking

4th Annual Beef Cattle& Forage GrazingWorkshop To Be HeldSept. 13 In Dickinson

The Richland CountySheriff’s Office, Sidney CityPolice Department and theFairview Police Departmentwould like to thank all estab-lishments that passed therecent alcohol compliancechecks. The goal of thechecks is to prevent youthaccess to alcohol and ensureall retailers are following al-cohol sales and serviceslaws to prevent illegal sales.

During compliancechecks, undercover agentsunder the age 21 are sentinto local establishments inan attempt to purchase alco-hol. When asked, the agentsare required to state theircorrect age and are prohib-ited from misleading or lying

to the clerk or server. Alltransactions are monitoredby law enforcement.

Compliance checkshave been conducted inRichland County for morethan 10 years in conjunctionwith Responsible AlcoholSales and Service Training(RASS). The training andcompliance checks have re-sulted in fewer illegal salesto persons under the age of21.

Recently, the MontanaLegislature passed SenateBill 29 which mandates alco-hol server training. The newlaw, which goes into effectOct. 1, states that all licenseholders, alcohol sellers andservers be trained in a State

approved server trainingcourse. With the new billsoon to be law there has beena substantial increase in thenumber of retailers needingand attending the training.Within the last month morethan 235 alcohol servers andsellers in Richland Countyhave attended ResponsibleAlcohol Sales and ServiceTraining.

Compliance checks areconducted randomly with notall area businesses beingchecked each time. Recentresults revealed a 94 % com-pliance rate for RichlandCounty retailers or 15 of 16establishments visitedpassed the checks. This is thehighest compliance rate in

the 10 plus years sincechecks have been con-ducted.

Law Enforcement wouldagain like to thank the arearetailers who passed thecompliance checks. “We sawthe results of the RASStrainings. Retailers were tak-ing the time to look at the ID’s,doing the math, and refusingthe sale. The clerks and serv-ers are one of the first linesof defense and we applaudtheir efforts when it comes topreventing underage buyingand drinking,” said RichlandCounty Sheriff Brad Baisch.

The 4th Annual BeefCattle and Forage GrazingWorkshop will be held Tues-day, Sept. 13 at the DickinsonResearch Extension CenterRanch headquarters south-west of Manning, accordingto program coordinator DougLandblom. The program willrun from 1-5 p.m.

One highlight on theprogram will be a discussionon alternatives to currenthigh grain prices. “High grainprices are great if you areproducing grain but if you areon the other side of the cointhere is a crunch,” Landblomsaid. “One of the things thatwe want to do is take a lookat forage grazing methodsand opportunities; that isprofit from grazing.”

Beef producer MyronLick, Ruso, ND, will present

information on grass finish-ing and direct marketing.NDSU range specialist KevinSedivec will present informa-tion on high stocking densityand rapid rotations.Landblom will talk about longfed yearling research at theCenter. Our goal is to use for-age sequencing of perennialand annual forages to re-duce the number of days tofinish steers in the feedlot.

A representative fromthe feedlot industry has beeninvited to discuss finishingyearling steers that havebeen grown on forages for anextended period of time.

Kris Ringwall and CarlDahlen, NDSU extensionbeef specialists, will presentinformation on animal framesize and efficiency.

The Beef Cattle and For-age Grazing Workshop willinclude actual field demon-strations for attendees.

In addition to the BeefCattle and Forage GrazingWorkshop on Sept. 13, agri-cultural producers are invitedto attend the 4th AnnualCover Crop Workshop, spon-sored by the SouthwestNorth Dakota Soil HealthDemonstration scheduledWednesday, Sept. 21, at theplot demonstration site 22miles north of Dickinsonalong North Dakota Highway22.

New WinterWheat Available

By Warren FroelichNDSU Extension Service

Williams CountyWinter wheat growers of

North Dakota and Montananow have a new variety toadd to their list of selections.The new variety is namedDecade. It was developed bythe Montana Agricultural Ex-periment Station and re-leased jointly with North Da-kota last fall. The WilliamsCounty Agricultural Improve-ment Association received asmall allocation of founda-tion seed which was pur-chased by Leon Helstad,Williston. Helstad has grownthis allocation under contractto the Association and NorthDakota State University Ex-periment Station. He recentlyharvested his allocation andis in the process of condition-ing the seed. It is expectedthe seed will meet the regis-tered grade requirements ofthe State Seed Department.

Decade is white-chaffedand was selected from acomposite of three closelyrelated F1 populations. It is avery high yielding winterhardy variety that is welladapted to western NorthDakota and eastern Montanaaccording to Phil Brucknerand Jim Berg, Montana StateUniversity winter wheatbreeders. Other features in-clude a medium to high testweight, early maturity, re-duced height, medium tohigh grain protein and excel-lent milling and baking qual-ity. It is resistant to stem rust,but susceptible to stripe rust.In comparison to CDC Fal-con, Decade is equivalent toyield potential and wintersurvival, improved testweight, earlier maturity,higher grain protein contentand superior milling charac-teristics.

When compared to thepopular variety, Jerry, it ap-pears to have a slight advan-

tage in grain protein testweight and maturity, but adefinite advantage in lodgingresistance. Jerry does ex-press more resistance to leafrust. Other features such aswinter hardiness, height, andresistance to stem rust andfoliar diseases are quite simi-lar.

Veterinarians, LivestockOwners Must Be Vigilant

Severe drought in thesouthern U.S., coupled withextreme wet conditions in theupper Midwest, is creatingsituations in which NorthDakota veterinarians andlivestock owners may seehealth problems not normallyfound in the state.

“There is unprec-edented movement of cattleacross the country,” saysNorth Dakota State Univer-sity Extension Service Veteri-narian Charlie Stoltenow.“Livestock owners may seesigns in their cattle that theyhave not seen before. If theydo, they should contact theirveterinarian right away andhave the animal examined.”

Health problems cattleowners might see includeanaplasmosis, red water dis-ease and babesiosis.

Anaplasmosis usually iscaused by Anaplasmamarginale, a blood parasite.It is not contagious betweenanimals. It usually is transmit-ted by a tick. The ticks that

carry anaplasmosis canoverwinter in North Dakota.Other biting insects, such asmosquitoes, horse flies andstable flies, also can trans-mit anaplasmosis.

Calves can be infectedwith the disease but aremuch more resistant thanolder cattle. Because theparasite destroys red bloodcells, anemia is the classicsymptom associated withanaplasmosis.

Redwater is caused byLeptospira, a bacterialpathogen. Leptospirosis istransmitted from animal toanimal (and to humans) bycontact with Leptospira incontaminated urine, feed andwater. The Leptospira patho-gen associated withredwater causes the destruc-tion of red blood cells and therelease of hemoglobin,which is flushed from theanimal’s body through theurine, hence the nameredwater. Leptospira can sur-vive in North Dakota.

Babesiosis (Texas fever)is very rare in the U.S., and aprogram is under way alongthe U.S.-Mexico border tocontrol it. Babesiosis iscaused by Babesia bigeminaand Babesia bovis, whichare blood parasites.

Babesiosis is transmit-ted by Boophilus ticks. Boo-philus ticks cannot surviveNorth Dakota winters, butcattle can be infected with thedisease elsewhere beforebeing brought into the state.Signs in cattle include a highfever (105º F and above),anemia, hemoglobinuria(brown urine) and stagger-ing.

“It is important for veteri-narians and livestock ownersto be observant and vigilant,”Stoltenow says. “Livestockowners are encouraged tocontact their veterinarianright away if an animal is ex-hibiting signs of illness.”

He also recommendslivestock owners purchaseand move only animals witha known health background.

Eastern MontanaStand Down 2011

The Second AnnualEastern Montana StandDown for veterans will takeplace at the Sidney Fair-grounds Event Center onSept. 17. The Sidney Job Ser-vice along with the Miles City,Glendive, Glasgow and WolfPoint Job Service Offices arehosting this year’s event.

During last year’s eventin Glendive, more than 129veterans were served; ofthose, 15 were confirmedhomeless. The event was ahuge success at the Glendivelocation. That is a 300% in-crease over previous statis-tical data for Eastern Mon-tana. It is anticipated thisyear’s event in Sidney will beeven bigger.

The Stand Down willkick off with breakfast at 8a.m. and the opening cer-emony at 8:30 a.m. Through-out the day, services such as

benefits assistance, healthcare, dental screening, coun-seling, clothing, showers andhot meals will be provided.The day will end with supperbeing served at 5 p.m.

What is a Stand Down?In times of war, ex-

hausted combat units requir-ing time to rest and recoverare removed from the battle-fields to a place of relativesecurity and safety. Troopsare able to take care of per-sonal hygiene, get cleanuniforms, enjoy a warm meal,receive medical and dentalcare and enjoy the camara-derie of friends in a safe en-vironment. Today a StandDown refers to a grassroots,community-based interven-tion program designed tohelp the nation’s estimated200,000 homeless veterans“combat” life on the streets.

Why have a Stand

Down?It is evident that many of

the homeless are fallingthrough the cracks in East-ern Montana. It is believedthe number of homelessidentified is severelyundercounted. Many do notidentify they are consideredhomeless i.e. living withfriends or family. Further,many soldiers are returninghome from deployment withinjuries including traumaticbrain injury, making it difficultfor them to retain employ-ment, thus, putting even moreat risk of homelessness. Thestand down is a preventativemeasure for them. All the ser-vices a soldier may need arebrought together in one lo-cation.

SBA Approves Montana Non-ProfitTo Start Making Small Business Loans

The U.S. Small Busi-ness Administration’s Com-munity Advantage Pilot LoanProgram is now available inMontana.

The SBA has an-nounced that Montana Com-munity Development Corpo-ration (MCDC) of Missoula isthe first Montana lender ap-proved to take part in the pro-gram which is designed toexpand access to capital forsmall businesses and entre-preneurs in underservedcommunities. MCDC is oneof only 22 Community Advan-tage lenders approved na-tionally.

MCDC will be able tobegin accepting applicationsimmediately. The CommunityAdvantage Program offers astreamlined application pro-cess for SBA 7(a) loans up to$250,000 through missionfocused financial institutions,including Community Devel-opment Financial Institu-tions, Certified DevelopmentCompanies and non-profitmicro-lending intermediar-

ies.Community Advantage

leverages the experiencethese institutions alreadyhave in lending in economi-cally challenged markets,along with their managementand technical assistance ex-pertise to help make theirborrowers successful.

“Working with thesecommunity-based, mission-focused lenders will greatlyenhance our ability to bringmuch needed financial re-sources to small businessesin underserved communities,which include minority,women and veteran-owned,as well as rural businesses,”said Joe McClure SBA Mon-tana district director. “Thesebusinesses are among thehardest hit by the recent eco-nomic downturn and helpingthem recover, expand andcreate jobs will strengthenboth their local economy andour nation as a whole.”

SBA began acceptingapplications from lenders inFebruary, and MCDC is cur-

rently the only Montanalender approved by SBA.

Expanding opportuni-ties for entrepreneurs andsmall business owners inunderserved communities iscore to SBA’s mission. As aresult, all of SBA’s programsare having an impact inunderserved communities. Inaddition to the CommunityAdvantage pilot program, inDecember SBA announcedthe new Small Loan Advan-tage, which is open to theagency’s existing PreferredLenders.

By Warren FroelichNDSU Extension Service

Williams CountyA frequent question of

both new and well estab-lished homeowners is “Whatis the best tree to plant?” Ifind this question hard to an-swer because there is no treewithout problems. For ex-ample, one of the trees, greenash, is at the top of my list.Green ash is native, droughttolerant, and sustains itselfthrough our harsh winters.These are good reasons forit being a native tree for thisarea.

However, the ash plantbug and ash/lilac borer canbe problems for green ash.Occasionally I find some ashtrees devastated by theborer. The plant bug veryearly is the primary cause forthe demise of ash trees. Theother concern I have withgreen ash trees is that thistree accounts for a very largepercentage of our tree popu-lation. Should a dominatingpest like the emerald ashborer arrive in this area thegreen healthy appearance ofour community will take a bighit. There are just a whole lotof green ash trees in commu-nities like Tioga, Ray,Grenora and Williston alongwith most farmsteads.

When making a selec-tion such factors as hardi-ness, moisture requirements,insect and disease resis-tance, mature size and free-dom from insects and dis-eases should be considered.For this area plants generallyshould be labeled for U.S.Department of Agriculturehardiness Zone 3. Plants la-beled for warmer (highernumbered) zones may de-velop dieback of branch tipsif they survive the winter ormay grow well for severalyears only to die in a year thatexceeds their hardiness lim-its.

For a lot of trees insectsand disease are secondaryto environment stresses.Many pests are opportunis-tic and only attack trees un-

der stress. In this area I thinkthe primary environmentalstress is water, both quantityand quality. Most trees areunderlaid with grass which,because of its shallower rootsystem, will get the first drink.So the tree must depend onwater that leaches throughthe root system of the lawn.

In many areas we dohave water quality issues.Usually the problem is highsoluble salts but there are in-stances when the watersource is high in sodiumcausing the soil surface tobecome hard. Soil “harden-ing” is due to dispersion ofthe soil particles by sodiumwhen it displaces calciumand, magnesium ions thatnormally saturate the soil andhelp maintain its structure.The high sodium reducesability of water to penetratethe soil surface and reachthe tree roots.

If you suspect a waterquantity problem, I suggestdigging down 4-6 inches. Drysoil at this depth is an indica-tion the tree may be undermoisture stress.

Knowledge of treesgrowing around your homeor those you intend to plantwill be a great aid in main-taining or managing thetree’s vigor. I encouragehomeowners to view theNorth Dakota Tree Handbookat www.ag.ndsu.edu/trees/h a n d s b o o k d / n d h a n d -1,htm#ndth or purchase thebook “Trees and Shrubs forthe Northern Great Plains”.Both sources give excellentinformation about individualplant species characteristicsand applications, tree careand maintenance, alongwith plant pictures and de-scriptions. The book costs$10 and is available from thisoffice. Call us at 701-577-4595.

Popular Hunting Areas Affected By FloodMore than half of 72,000 wildlife management area acres

along the Missouri River that were once a haven for wildlifeand a destination for hunters will likely be devoid of each thisfall.

North Dakota Game and Fish Department biologists saynearly 40,000 acres - some of the most pristine public hunt-ing lands in the state – have suffered from months of flood-ing.

Jeb Williams, wildlife resource management supervi-sor, Bismarck, said 15,000 acres of the Oahe Wildlife Man-agement Area have been inundated with water, essentiallymaking it swampland that is at least temporarily unattractive

to wildlife.“This area south of Bismarck-Mandan has been ex-

tremely popular with deer and pheasant hunters, because itprovides some of the best wildlife habitat in the state,” Will-iams said. “But this year’s flood has changed the dynamicsdramatically.”

There are 20-plus WMAs from Williston to south of Bis-marck on the Missouri River System, and many were entirelyor partially flooded through spring and summer.

Kent Luttschwager, wildlife resource management su-pervisor, Williston, said hunters will have to adapt this fall, aswildlife populations that have called the Missouri River bot-toms home are now displaced because of high water.

“Lewis and Clark WMA is popular with hunters becauseit offers some of the most prolific wildlife habitat in the re-gion,” Luttschwager said. “But exceptional wildlife habitat hasbeen covered in water for several months.”

Dan Halstead, wildlife resource management supervi-sor, Riverdale, said the spillway channel running throughRiverdale WMA near Garrison Dam was originally 30 yardswide, but is nearly 200 yards wide today.

“But this area was only covered in water for maybe aweek as the water quickly made its way back into the chan-nel,” Halstead said. Because of this, he said access is gradu-ally coming around, and will continue to improve throughSeptember.

“We are going to have some vegetation issues, but theriver bottoms in this area is in better condition than Bismarckand Williston, just because of the prolonged effects of over-land flooding in those areas,” Halstead said.

While no one can predict how much property will be lostto this year’s record flood, Luttschwager said it will take timeto recover.

Bow & ArrowAncient Weapons

By Lois KerrThe bow and arrow qualifies as one of the oldest weap-

ons used by mankind. Arrowheads have been discovered innearly every country of the world, from Finland to Germany.The oldest arrowheads, found in Africa, date back to 25,000years ago. Humans first made their arrowheads out of woodbut quickly learned how to make fire hardened stone andflint arrowheads. They also added feathers to the shafts whichincreased accuracy.

By 2800 B.C. Egyptians had developed the compositebow, made from wood, animal horn and cat gut. Unstrung,the bow resembled a ‘C’ in shape, and it required two peopleto string it.The light arrows the Egyptians used could travel400 yards from such a bow, easily piercing the enemy armorof the time. These deadly archers rode with skilled chari-oteers who could outflank the enemy armies, allowing theEgyptians to decimate anyone they considered an enemy.

Genghis Khan and his warriors used composite bows toterrorize their enemies.

Chinese archers developed the crossbow around 1200B.C.

In 250 B.C. the Parthians, from the area that we know asIran and Afghanistan today, fooled their enemies by pre-tending to run away while firing arrows back at their en-emies. Historians believe that the phrase ‘a parting shot’ origi-nated from the Parthians parting shots.

Humans continued to develop deadlier and deadlierbows and arrows. They learned how to make barbed arrows,making removal from flesh difficult; they manufactured smalltriangular tipped arrows that pierced chain mail, and theyused half moot arrow types that could cut through the riggingof enemy ships.

Archers played a huge role in warfare for millennium,but their days of domination did come to an end with theinvention of accurate firearms. The last battle in which theEnglish used archers was in 1644.

By the late 1600s, archery contests had become popu-

lar in England. Olympics officials included ar-chery as part of the Olympic Games in 1904,1908 and 1920, but then discontinued archeryuntil 1972.

Wisconsin started the first bow huntingseason in 1934. In 1937, archery competi-tions allowed the use of bow sights, and in1946 James Easton producedthe first trade-m a r k e daluminumarrows, the24 SRT-X.

Com-p a n i e scontinuedto makeimprove-ments tobows, de-velopingpistol gripb o whandles,t o r q u estabi l iz-ers, andrecu rvebows. In 1969, H.W. Allen received a patent for his com-pound bow.

In 1992 the Olympic torch in Barcelona, Spain, was litusing a flaming arrow, and in 1995 officials included thecompound bow in World Target Archery championships.

Individuals and companies continue to make improve-ments to the bow and arrow. New improvements that lookpromising include single cam technology and the use of car-bon arrows.

Upland Bird Numbers Down

Hunters are reminded that hunting big game over bait isprohibited on all state-owned or managed wildlife manage-ment areas, all U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service national wild-life refuges and waterfowl production areas, U.S. Forest Ser-vice national grasslands, and all North Dakota state school,state park and state forest service lands.

In addition, the governor’s proclamation relating tochronic wasting disease includes a provision that prohibitshunting big game over bait on both public and private land indeer unit 3F2.

Hunting over bait is defined as the placement and/oruse of baits for attracting big game and other wildlife to aspecific location for the purpose of hunting.

Baits include but are not limited to grains, minerals, salts,fruits, vegetables, hay or any other natural or manufacturedfoods. It does not apply to the use of scents and lures, water,food plots, standing crops or livestock feeds being used instandard practices.

HuntingOver Bait

North Dakota hunters should expect to see fewer up-land game birds this hunting season, according to AaronRobinson, State Game and Fish Department upland gamemanagement biologist. The season for sharp-tailed grouse,ruffed grouse and Hungarian partridge opens Sept. 10.

“Excessive water has affected reproduction in areas,but there will be some areas good for sharptails,” Robinsonsaid. “But no doubt birds will be harder to find.”

The spring sharptail breeding population was down 30percent from last year, with numbers falling from west to east.Losses of native prairie and acreage enrolled in the Conser-vation Reserve Program are negatively affecting the sharp-tailed grouse population in North Dakota, Robinson said. Inaddition, three consecutive harsh winters and a wet, coldspring this year delayed nesting across the state.

Hungarian partridge numbers are also down, and morelocalized, than last year, Robinson said. “Scouting areas willbe critical to success,” he added. “At this time there is not onearea that stands out from the rest. The cover is high, so hunt-ers will need to scout and be willing to move to other areas tofind localized pockets of birds.”

This spring’s statewide ruffed grouse drumming countstook a dip of 15% from 2010. The number of drumming malesincreased almost 13% in the Pembina Hills, but the TurtleMountains showed a 28% decrease from last year.

The sage grouse and prairie chicken seasons will re-main closed in 2011 due to low populations.

Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sun-set. Sharptails, ruffed grouse and Huns each have a dailylimit of three and a possession limit of 12.

Hunters, regardless of age, must have a fishing, hunting

and furbearer certificate and general game and habitat li-cense. In addition, hunters age 16 and older need a smallgame license.

Second, Third Deer License Drawing DelayedHunters waiting for their second and third deer lottery

results shouldn’t have to wait much longer.State Game and Fish Department staff worked well into

the night last week to hold the second lottery drawing andprint those licenses, according to Kim Molesworth, North Da-kota Game and Fish Department administrative services di-vision chief.

The third lottery for concurrent season antlerless deerlicenses took place onTuesday, Aug. 30, with licenses likelymailed on Wednesday, Aug.31.

“We apologize for the delay,” Molesworth stated. “Weknow that some bowhunters are anxious to get their concur-rent season licenses to use when archery season opensSept. 2. We’re trying to get those out as soon as possible.”

Bowhunters who are traveling through Bismarck prior tothe opener, and don’t want to risk not receiving their licensebefore they leave, can call or email the department’s Bis-marck office by noon on Wednesday, Aug. 31 to request us tohold their license, Molesworth said. Game and Fish wouldthen hold the license at its Bismarck office until the hunterpicked it up.

Contact the Bismarck Game and Fish licensing sectionoffice at 701-328-6335, or email [email protected] and write“Hold concurrent season license” in the subject line.

Game and Fish will mail gratis licenses after the thirdlottery drawing is held.

The second and subsequent lottery drawings were laterthan usual this year because of the one-week extension ofthe deer application deadline, and an initial shipment of spe-cial license paper that didn’t meet specifications, Molesworthsaid. The second shipment of paper arrived in early August,Molesworth added, and the first lottery licenses were printedand mailed first.

After the third lottery drawing is held, Game and Fish willissue any remaining licenses on a first-come, first-servedbasis.

Hunters can use additional concurrent season doe li-censes during the archery season with a bow; the deer gunseason with a bow, rifle, or muzzleloader; or during the

muzzleloader season with a muzzleloader. These licensesare for antlerless deer only, and hunters must stay in the unitto which the license is assigned.

In addition, youth deer license hunters ages 14 and 15may purchase additional concurrent season doe licenses touse during the youth season.

Tim Larson is shown presenting the WeatherbyVanguard Sporter rifle to Richard Dore who wonthe first prize at the Lone Tree Gun Show.Second place winner of a Leupold Roguebinocular was Mike Moran, and third prize winnerof a 5-day cooler was Russ Huotari.

Outdoor RecreatorsUrged To Be Fire Aware

With some antelope archery hunting underway and otherhunting seasons coming soon, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parksurges hunters to prepare for Montana's fire season.

"As early season hunters take to the field we are espe-cially concerned about accidental fire starts caused whendry vegetation accumulates in a vehicle's skid plate or cata-lytic converter," said Ron Aasheim, Montana Fish, Wildlife &Parks spokesman.

"Hunters, whether on the prairie or in the mountains, areresponsible for knowing what the fire danger level is and fortaking appropriate precautions as advised by local landmanagement agencies and fire personnel," he said.

FWP suggests that hunters take these steps to minimizethe danger of starting a fire while afield.

• Don't drive off road.• Don't park over dry grass. A vehicle's catalytic con-

verter or exhaust system can spark a fire. Find a bare spotalong the roadside to park.

• Avoid driving on roads with tall vegetation in the middlewhere possible. If it is necessary to drive on vegetated roads,take the time to clean out the vehicle's undercarriage andskid plate often.

• Carry a shovel, axe, water and, if possible, a fire extin-guisher.

• When requesting permission to hunt, discuss the firethreat with the landowner to show you are aware of the prob-lem and will act accordingly.

Information on fire restrictions is available on the FWPwebsite at fwp.mt.gov. Click Restrictions, Closures &Reopenings. For the status of ongoing fires, visit the onlinesource for fire information at http://www.inciweb.org.

Summer Heat Can BringToxic Algae Blooms

McCone Co. Fair PRCARodeo Final Results, Circle

Aug.18-19Produced by J Bar J Rodeo.Bareback riding: 1. (tie) Troy Vaira, on J Bar J Rodeo’s

Barrel racing: 3. Victoria Netzer, 17.71, $535.

Now that wet spring hasmoved along and the sum-mer heat is in full forcepeople need to be aware ofthe dangers of potentiallytoxic blue-green algae.

The Montana Depart-ment of Environmental Qual-ity (DEQ) warns people thatthey should use commonsense and avoid areas ofponds or lakes that have un-sightly algae. Hot, dryweather is triggering out-breaks, or blooms, of blue-green algae.

Blue-green, orcyanobacteria, reproducerapidly in fresh water whenthe sunlight, temperatureand algae nutrients are justright. Within a few days aclear lake, pond or ditch canbecome cloudy with algaegrowth. Potentially toxic blue-green algae can occurthroughout Montana in anylake, reservoir, stock pond, orroadside ditch. Residentialdrinking water taken from alake may also be affected.The algae is not normallyfound in rivers, streams,springs, irrigation canals orwells.

A bloom often looks likebright green paint floating onthe water, however it can also

appear bluish, brownish orreddish green. It is made upof extremely small organismsthat are very difficult to pickup or hold. They are usuallysuspended in water orformed into floating mats andcan be several inches thicknear the shoreline.

In most cases in Mon-tana the algae is not toxic.Only certain species are ca-pable of producing toxins,and even these species areharmless most of the time.But in their toxic form, blue-green algae can, and has,sickened or killed pets, wa-terfowl, and other animals,including livestock. They canalso cause serious illness inhumans.

Signs of a toxic bloommay include large numbers

of dead fish, water fowl orother animals, the suddenunexplained illness or deathof a cat or dog, especially if ithas algae on its mouth, legsor feet or a skin rash on hu-mans after being in the wa-ter. There is no way to tell forsure if the water is toxic un-less it is actually injected intoan experimental laboratoryanimal. Harmless strains ofpotential toxin-producing al-gae look the same as deadlystrains under a microscope.

If you suspect an algaebloom, keep children, petsand livestock away from thearea of contamination. TheDEQ has posted a fact sheetabout blue-green algae onits website atwww.deq.mt.gov.

U.S. Department Of TransportationReinforces Commitment To No New

Regulations For America’s Ag CommunityThe U.S. Department of

Transportation’s Federal Mo-tor Carrier Safety Administra-tion (FMCSA) announced to-day that it has no intention topropose new regulationsgoverning the transport ofagricultural products. Theagency also released guid-ance designed to make surestates clearly understand thecommon sense exemptionsthat allow farmers, their em-ployees, and their families toaccomplish their day-to-daywork and transport their prod-ucts to market.

After hearing from con-cerned farmers earlier thisyear, FMCSA initiated thisreview to make sure statesdon’t go overboard in enforc-ing regulations on agricul-tural operators, and to en-

sure consistent access toexemptions for farmers. Noregulations will be proposedfor any new safety require-ments or changes to therules governing the transportof agricultural products, farmmachinery, or farm suppliesto or from a farm.

“We have no intention ofinstituting onerous regula-tions on the hardworkingfarmers who feed our coun-try and fuel our economy,”said Secretary Ray LaHood.“Farmers deserve to knowthat reasonable, commonsense exemptions will con-tinue to be consistently avail-able to agricultural opera-tions across the country, andthat’s why we released thisguidance.”

This guidance—which

does not impose any newrules on farmers—follows theFederal Register public no-tice which FMCSA issued onMay 31, 2011, asking farm-ers, farm organizations andthe public to give input on theagency’s longstanding safetyrules.

“We want to make it ab-solutely clear that farmers willnot be subjected to new andimpractical safety regula-tions,” said U.S. Transporta-tion Deputy Secretary JohnPorcari. “The farm communitycan be confident that stateswill continue to follow theregulatory exemptions forfarmers that have alwaysworked so well.”

“FMCSA is pleased withthe input we’ve receivedfrom the agricultural commu-nity and members of Con-gress. We received about1700 comments and the vastmajority called for us to pre-serve the guidance thatleaves states to carry out thefarm exceptions as they havefor many years.” said FMCSAAdministrator Anne Ferro.“We want to make crystalclear that we are not impos-ing any new regulations.”

Earlier this year, farmgroups came to FMCSA with

concerns that some statesmight not allow exemptionsto Commercial Drivers Li-cense (CDL) requirementsfor certain farm operationsusing “crop-share” leasing.

When FMCSA investi-gated, there appeared to bewide differences amongstates in how the “for-hire”and related agricultural ex-ceptions were being applied.In order to ensure consis-tency, FMCSA asked stateofficials to cease all new en-trant safety audits on farmersengaged in “crop-share”leasing and issued the pub-lic notice soliciting input thatwould provide insight on thecomplex use of farm equip-ment on public roads. Theguidance released today,which is based on that input,clarifies three critical issues:

a. Interstate vs. intrastatecommerce. Since the differ-ence between the two hasbeen determined by the U.S.Supreme Court and otherFederal courts, FMCSA haslimited flexibility to provideadditional guidelines. TheAgency has concluded thatnew regulatory guidanceconcerning the distinctionbetween interstate and intr-astate commerce is not nec-

essary. Generally, the statesand the industry have a com-mon understanding on thispoint. To the extent that fact-specific questions arise, theAgency will work with theStates and the industry toprovide a clarification for thespecific scenario.

a. Commercial Driver’sLicense. Federal regulationsallow states to make excep-tions to Commercial Driver’sLicense (CDL) regulationsfor certain farm vehicle driv-ers such as farm employeesand family members, as longas their vehicles are not usedby “for-hire” motor carriers.Some states have ques-tioned whether this exemp-tion applies to drivers whowork for “crop share” or simi-lar arrangements. FMCSA’snotice includes guidance toensure consistent applicationof the exemption. After con-sidering the public com-ments, the Agency has de-termined that farmers whorent their land for a share ofthe crops and haul their ownand the landlord’s crops tomarket should have accessto the agricultural CDL ex-emptions given by the states.

a. Implements of Hus-bandry. In a perfect world,

farm vehicles would only op-erate on farms, while com-mercial trucks would operateon public roads. The realityis that farm equipment that isnot designed or intended foreveryday use on publicroads is often used for shorttrips at limited speeds. Thiscreates a gray area for clas-sification. After consideringthe public comments,FMCSA has determined thatmost States have alreadyadopted common sense en-forcement practices that al-low farmers to safely moveequipment to and from theirfields. In areas where farmimplements are common, theenforcement community andthe agricultural communityhave achieved a mutual un-derstanding of which safetyregulations should apply tofarm equipment on their pub-lic roads.

FMCSA is committed tothe safety of our highwaysand the long-term success ofAmerica’s agricultural indus-try. To learn more about fed-eral safety regulations thatimpact the transportation ofagricultural products andequipment, please visit theFMCSA website atwww.fmcsa.dot.gov.
