Youth in Grades 4-12 Invited to Write Letters About Literature Earlier this month, Humanities Montana made an

announcement that the Letters About Literature (LAL) program is accepting online submissions from November 1, 2018 until January 11, 2019.

“Reading is more than a passive way to receive knowledge or entertainment—the best writing sets off a chain reaction of ideas, feelings and connections. It lasts centuries and readers can be part of an ongoing exchange of ideas,” an announcement in the Humanities Montana newsletter stated.

To help young people realize this power of literature, the Library of Congress and the Montana Center for the Book work together to offer LAL, a national reading and writing program for youth in grades 4–12. Students select a book, poem, or speech they have read and write a personal letter to the author (living or dead) about whose work they have strong feelings. They may write about how the selected work changed their view of themselves or their world. The letter’s purpose is to create a conversation with the author in which the student expresses thoughts, feelings, and ideas inspired by the author’s writing, as well as its impact on the student’s life.

The letters are judged in three different levels: grades 4-6, grades 7-8, and grades 9-12. The Montana Center for the Book recognizes and awards prizes to participants at the state level. First place winners receive $100, second place $75, and third place $50. All state winners advance to the national level where a panel of judges for the Center for the For Sale: Targee Ram lambs. Also, Book in the Library of Congress selects one national winner free cats & kittens (farm animals). For Sale: Half or whole beef.

11-I per competition level to receive a $2,000 cash award. The Call 406-739-4361.

11-I Call 379-2512. judges also select one national honor per competition level to receive a $500 cash award.

The 2018 First Place Winners were Level 1: Ryan Maeve Howell from Missoula, who wrote to Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are; Level 2: Lily Easton, also from Missoula, who wrote to John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars; and Level 3: Sage Crawford-Kahrl from Bozeman, who wrote to Albert Camus, author of The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays.

Some language arts teachers use this contest as part of a unit that helps students reach Common Core State Standards in literacy, such as citing textual evidence to support analysis, analyzing the development of a central idea, or analyzing how an author’s choices contribute to a text’s overall meaning and aesthetic impact.

For more information on how to electronically submit a students’ work, teachers can visit the Library of Congress LAL site online or they can contact Samantha Dwyer, Program Officer at Humanities Montana, by emailing samantha. dwyer@humanitiesmontana.org.

The diverse needs of all children and youth in the counties of Cascade, Teton, Pondera, Toole, Glacier, Liberty, Hill, Blaine, and Chouteau. Although preference will be given to people living in these areas, participation by individuals from outside of Region II is also welcome.

Visual Phonics Workshop Coming to Havre in December

On December 3, Region II of the Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD), in partnership with Havre Public Schools, will be offering the workshop See the Sound/Visual Phonics, a free training for general and special educators, paraprofessionals, social workers, occupational therapists, parents, and others who work with children.

The workshop will take place at the Fifth Avenue Christian Church located at 2015 Fifth Avenue in Havre with presenter Meg Cech. Representing the International Communication Learning Institute (ICLI) in Webster, Wisconsin, Cech is a licensed presenter for Visual Phonics—See the Sound.

Cech began teaching Visual Phonics to her students in 1991. After seeing so many gains with her students and in her school, she went through the licensure program and became licensed to present this technique/program from ICLI to others in 1996. She has continued to give workshops throughout the Northwest since that time. She retired in June 2016 after teaching in Montana for 38 years. She has taught all aspects of special education for 21 years and third grade for 17 years.

Visual Phonics is a system of 45 hand signs and written symbols, which helps to make the connection between written and spoken language less confusing. Each written symbol is a visual representation of the hand sign and sometimes of what is happening in the mouth. The hand signs enhance students’ ability to “see” the sound as they are learning how sounds and words work. By focusing first on the sounds of language, Visual Phonics captures the power of the language before it becomes a confusing set of rules.

Many different populations will benefit from Visual Phonics. These include children in early education programs, “at risk readers,” individuals enrolled in special education programs, students who are deaf or hard of hearing, students with hearing loss at all levels, English language learners, and adults who are not literate. Speech clinicians also use Visual Phonics techniques in their sessions to help children.

This full day workshop explores the multi-sensory Visual Phonics program and its benefits in reinforcing oral language, speech, literacy and writing skills necessary for students that possess diverse learning needs or bilingual needs. This hands-on workshop develops the skills necessary to implement Visual Phonics in therapeutic settings, as well as classroom and instructional settings. Strategies for support in reading, speaking, decoding, and spelling will be also explored.

The morning will begin at 8:00 a.m. with sign in, followed by a morning session from 8:30-11:30. A break will occur from 11:30-12:30 for lunch, followed by the afternoon session from 12:30-3:30. Six OPI renewal units are available for this training.

Those interested in attending should register by November 28 by going online to www.blueponyk12.com where they will click on the CSPD icon and then on the hyperlink that reads: “Register Here For Upcoming CSPD Training Events!”

After attending this session, participants will demonstrate • a working knowledge of Visual Phonics hand signs

and printed symbols • an integration of strategies and skills using Visual

Phonics to reinforce literacy, writing and speech

production, and • specific strategies for reinforcing articulation therapy

while teaching letter recognition, phonemic

awareness, phoneme-grapheme association and

syllable/phoneme blending.

Participants will also connect research with practice as it relates to Visual Phonics and the impact it has on diverse learners.

Two For The Price Of One

Would you like a free ranch? This summer I had the pleasure of visiting several Ranching For Profit School alumni ranches from Texas to Montana and points in between. Most are applying cell grazing and are producing impressive results. Cell grazing involves giving paddocks adequate rest, keeping graze periods short, increasing stock density and adjusting the stocking rate annually and seasonally to match the carrying capacity. It is not a grazing system, but a set of principles that, applied with a little common sense, works in any grazing environment. John Schipf from Highwood, Montana is one of the alumni I visited with this summer.

He’s been using cell grazing for about 4 years. He credits it for doubling the carrying capacity of his property. John said, “It’s like getting a second ranch for free.”

You’d think with these kinds of results, more people would be using cell grazing. A lot of ranchers use some kind of grazing rotation. Most assume that because they move animals from one place to another that their pastures are getting healthier and they get some economic benefit.

The truth is that most ranchers get little if any ecological or economic benefit from their rotations. In fact, most rotations don’t even prevent overgrazing. A rotation with fewer than 8 paddocks isn’t rotational grazing.

It is rotational overgrazing.

Some ranchers tell me they resist cell grazing because they don’t want to look at a lot of fences or open a lot of gates just to get from point A to point B. They assume it’ll be more work, constantly moving cows from one pasture to another.

Most of the alumni who see big improvements in carrying capacity use at least 25 paddocks per herd. Some use as many as 40-50, yet the fences are barely noticeable. Some alumni are starting to use spider fencing, which consists of 16 gauge high tensile wire and super high quality fiberglass posts. With a simple homemade adaptation to the undercarriage of a 4-wheeler or a pick-up, you won’t need to open gates to drive from one place to another. You can drive right over the fence.

To provide more paddocks per herd, rather than building more paddocks, most alumni start by combining herds. This doesn’t increase labor, it reduces labor. After all, it takes less time to check one herd of 500 cows than two herds of 250 cows. But the bigger breakthrough comes from increasing the carrying capacity. In John’s case, doubling the cows in the herd on the same land base didn’t increase labor; it just changed the way labor was used.

Derek Schwanebeck is one of the alumni I met with this summer.

Using cell grazing he’s also been able to double his carrying capacity. I like the way Derek described the change in the workload with cell grazing. He told me, “These days we work our minds way harder than we work our bodies.”

If you are ready to work your mind and see big improvements in your land, your life and your bottom line, we are ready to work with you at the Ranching For Profit School.

Wheat markets were lower for the week, led by Kansas City as large fund traders continued to sell out their long positions, and Kansas City was the only wheat market in which they were still long. Corn and soybeans were slightly lower as harvest progressed throughout the Midwest.

The cattle complex was slightly lower on weaker cash and boxed beef markets. Slow exports and a shaky stock market have weakened the normal seasonal tendency for beef to rally into early winter. Traders will be closely watching demand for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, usually a high beef consumption period.

Feeder cattle failed to find a fall rally as winter wheat plantings and establishment were slow in the southern plains, reducing demand for winter grazing calves.

Stocks took another hit, with several companies reporting disappointing earnings and guidance. Crude oil prices also continued under pressure as the contract experienced its longest consecutive-days slide in history. Reports that some OPEC nations may not slow production and a notable slowdown in the world economy have traders expecting a significant decline in energy demand. The US dollar was higher as major foreign currencies continued to slide, largely due to the slowdown in emerging economies, a notable slowdown in China and the chaos created by Brexit.

CWD Check Stations in Operation Across the Hi-line

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) has had check stations in place across the Hi-Line to sample for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer, elk and moose during the general hunting season. These check stations are part of a planned surveillance effort, and FWP encourages hunters during these last few days of the hunting season to help by submitting their harvested animals for testing.

Last year, FWP discovered CWD in deer south of Billings as well as north of Chester. This contagious neurological disease can infect deer, elk and moose. It is always fatal and there is no known cure.

In early November, a white-tailed buck harvested in southern Liberty County was found to be suspect for CWD. In addition, a mule deer doe harvested within the CWDpositive area in Carbon County was found to be suspect for CWD. The lab at Colorado State University is running a confirmation test, with results expected before month’s end. It is very rare that a suspect sample isn’t ultimately found positive.

The suspect deer in Liberty County was harvested in hunting district 400, but outside both the current CWDpositive area and the 2018 priority surveillance area, which includes the northern half of Liberty County. As a result, the CWD-positive area has been expanded to include all of Liberty County and FWP is now including all of HD 400 in the 2018 CWD surveillance effort.

The suspect deer in HD 575 was harvested northeast of Joliet in a current CWD-positive area, which encompasses Carbon County, east of U.S. Highway 212 and the RobertsCooney Road.

Transportation restriction zones are in place in all CWD-positive areas. Please see current regulations for more information.

As of press time, no CWD-positive animals have been detected in Region 6.

Currently, FWP is conducting surveillance during the general fall hunting season in high-priority areas in parts of northern Montana, including Hunting Districts (HD) 400, 401, and 403 in Region 4, and 640, 670, 630, 620, 611, and 600 in Region 6.

At the check stations, FWP personnel will remove retropharyngeal lymph nodes, a tooth, and a genetic Continued Page 7...

DEAR ANDREA,

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a little fun money calculated into your monthly budget when you’re in good financial shape. The problems start when couples don’t agree on these kinds of things — or worse — when they start hiding stuff and lying to each other about where the money’s going.

People either grow together or they grow apart when they get married.

When you start hiding things from your spouse you’re essentially keeping separate lives. That’s a bad sign in any marriage, and in many cases, this kind of thing leads to divorce.

Having an agreed-upon budget isn’t just telling your money what to do.

It’s also an important part of a healthy sharing and communication process between husband and wife!

If a hunter is willing to contribute samples but first wants to deliver the head to a taxidermist, FWP personnel will take some information at the check station and follow up with the taxidermist later for the lymph nodes. Hunters will receive a unique identification number for the sample and will be able to view the test results within three weeks at fwp.mt.gov/cwd.

Weekend check stations for collecting CWD samples are located in • Havre: East of town at the old rest area, at the usual

check station location • Malta: Lot behind Ezzie’s West Side Conoco gas station • Glasgow: Zerbe's Bros. Implement on the east end of Glasgow • Chester: Lion’s Park rest area off Highway Two east

of Chester.

• Shelby: Two miles south of Bronken Road, exit at

truck weigh scale on I-15 south.

Samples may also be submitted at the FWP offices in Havre from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in and Glasgow and Great Falls from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

All hunters must stop at all check stations, but submission of CWD samples is voluntary. In addition, deer harvested in HD 640 may also be sampled for bovine tuberculosis as part of a separate study. Check station locations are subject to change depending upon sampling priority, and locations will be updated weekly on the Region 6 Facebook page.

If hunters would like to submit a sample for CWD testing that was harvested outside of the priority surveillance area, they may do so on their own. Instructions are available on the website at fwp.mt.gov/cwd, and there is a fee of $18 to Colorado State University for the test in addition to shipping costs.

Please help FWP with CWD surveillance this fall by providing samples of your harvest(s) in any surveillance area.

There was neither a red tsunami nor a blue wave on November 6th and the sun rose Wednesday morning just as expected. Elections can trigger tears, but normal folk’s happiness is not dictated by which party possesses the preferred parking places in Washington, D.C. Certainly, there are consequences to wrong choices in the battle between liberty and bondage, but your contentment is most affected by you and things which happen within your walls. However, Democrats in Florida, Georgia and Arizona cannot accept losing and are howling and throwing themselves on the floor like a newly leashed cow dog visiting a vet clinic. With that said, Election Day 2018 revealed three things.

First, thanks to our wise founders, America is, has been, and will continue to be the land of opportunity. Had America’s framers established a democracy rather than a constitutional republic, today’s beltway beast would be far more obtrusive than it is. Contrary to progressive dreams, there is nothing pretty, nor fair, nor sustainable about mob rule and democracies live a short life before dying a violent death. For proof, see the videos of the Antifa terrorists attacking Tucker Carlson’s house for expressing opinions different than their own. Progressivism is, has been, and will continue to be evil.

Second, politics is a blood sport and not for the faint of heart. If you publicly announce your support for God, family and country, leftists will attack you unmercifully. Few people and even fewer politicians, can remain steadfast to their values when the shooting starts. I was not a Trump supporter during the 2016 GOP primary, but after watching him take fire for two years, I truly believe God made him to serve our republic at this time. President Trump is completely focused on delivering campaign promises regardless which party controls Congress. Democrats, Never-Trumpers and the national media hate him for his bold persistence; a leader who appears to be strengthened by adversity. CNN’s Jim Acosta thinks differently, and he is wrong.

Third, and most important, President Trump faces no greater opposition from a Democrat controlled House than he did under one controlled by meek and weak Republicans. He will deliver, the American economy will flourish, our military will be stronger, senseless regulations will be repealed, trade will be balanced and those wishing to abandon their mob will find a job. America is becoming great again and that drives the America haters insane.

Enjoying Everyday Life Joyce Meyer

The Fruitful vs. the Frustrated Life

Have you ever spent your time running around all day long but at the end of it, you didn’t know what you actually accomplished? It’s so frustrating when you realize you were busy, going from one thing to the next, but you didn’t get around to doing anything you intended, or needed, to do.

It’s easy to live this way in our world today with so much going on all the time. But I can’t find any scripture in the Bible where God commands us, or even suggests to us, that we be busy. However, it does talk a lot about being fruitful, bearing good fruit in our lives.

There are two ways we bear good fruit. One is by displaying the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). And the second way is by getting out in the world where God has planted us and being good to people.

I’m talking about helping people who are hard to love or don’t seem to deserve it. Or giving to the poor and getting involved with people so you can make a difference and help make their lives better, rather than spending all of your time trying to make yourself happy.

I’ve discovered that being selfish and self-centered never makes anyone happy. Living for God is really just the opposite of that. God does want to bless us and give us the things we need, but when we give our lives to Him, our purpose is to serve Him.

Who Do People Think You Are?

In Matthew 12:33 (AMP) Jesus says, “…The tree is known by its fruit.”

And this is how people know who we are. Just as you recognize an orange tree by the oranges it produces, you recognize a Christian by the fruit of their lifestyle.

I’ve said often that you won’t be recognized as a Christian just because you have a Christian bumper sticker on your car or you wear Christian jewelry or go to church every week. Most of the time people won’t care what you have to say if your behavior doesn’t back it up.

The fruit of our lives is seen in our behavior—what we do to help others and our attitudes—as well as what we say. It’s the visible expression of the invisible work that God is doing in us.

Jesus says in John 15:8, “My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.” In other words, we’re not proving anything to anyone simply by what we say. It’s the fruit of our lives that proves who we really are.

So it’s good for us to frequently ask ourselves: Who am I helping in my life? How am I making a difference or making someone else’s life better?

How to Bear Good Fruit Every Day

The key to bearing good fruit is found in John 15:5, which says, “I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union from Me] you can do nothing.”

Jesus is telling us that as we spend time with Him in prayer and by studying the Bible, His Spirit is working in us, changing us little by little (2 Corinthians 3:18), causing us to reflect His image or characteristics more and more. It’s a progressive transformation that takes time and requires a consistent commitment throughout our lifetime.

If you aren’t spending regular time with Jesus and growing in your relationship with Him through prayer and Bible study, I want to challenge you to reevaluate your priorities and put first things first. The truth is we put our time into what we really want to do. And if something is truly important to you, you will find time to do it.

God’s Gift to You

God created you because He loves you, He wants to have a personal relationship with you, and He wants to do amazing things in you and through you. Every day is a gift from God and it’s so precious!

Ephesians 3:20 says that God “is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us.” He has a plan for you and He will give you everything you need to fulfill your destiny as you seek Him and grow stronger in your faith in Him.

I want to encourage you to focus on Jesus and live by the wisdom He reveals to you in His Word. Choose to do today what you will be happy with later on, and no matter what the cost, you’ll find that the good fruit it brings is more satisfying and fulfilling than just being busy any day of the week! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SubZero SuperHeroes Sought for Area Polar Plunges

The SubZero SuperHero Polar Plunge, the second Special Olympics Polar Plunge event in Montana to kickoff the 2018-2019 series, will take place in Havre’s Town Square-Wells Fargo Parking Lot on Saturday, November 24.

Havre’s event will begin with Plunge check-in from 2:00 p.m.

- 3:15 p.m., followed by the SubZero SuperHero Plunge, which will take place on First Street at Fourth Avenue in Havre at 3:30 p.m.

The event is part of the Special Olympics Polar Plunge program, whose slogan is Freezin’ for a Reason.

The Polar Plunge is a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations and businesses to support Special Olympics Montana by taking an icy dip into freezing waters. Proceeds Continued on page 13...

13 Tricia’s Trader................................................................... Volume XVI Issue 22.................................................................... November 21st, 2018

Continued from page 12... from the Havre event will help Special Olympic athletes in the Havre, Chinook and Big Sandy region.

Other Plunge events in the region for the 2018-2019 Polar Plunge Season include the Middle of Nowhere Plunge, which will occur at the Glasgow Civic Center, located at 319 Third Street South in Glasgow, on December 1 from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. The Plunge will be one of the signature events during Glasgow’s Downtown Christmas Stroll so that participants and spectators won't miss out on other holiday festivities.

The Lewistown Polar Plunge will take place on January 26, 2019, at the Fergus County Fairgrounds in conjunction with the Fergus County Winter Fair so that plungers and spectators can enjoy all of the festivities of the day. The theme of this year's Lewistown Polar Plunge is "Our Athletes Are Out of This World," so participants are encouraged to dress in their best outer space outfits to plunge. Registration will occur between 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m., followed by the Plunge at 1 p.m.

To take the Polar Plunge, each participant must raise $125, or $50 if a competitor is age 17 or younger. Any Plunger age seven or under wanting to take the frigid dip is called a Pee Wee Plunger. A Pee Wee Plunge slide and kiddie pool are provided for these little plungers. All plungers 17 and under must have a guardian present to sign a waiver at the event.

As contestants raise money beyond the minimum, they can receive various incentive prizes, such as t-shirts, beanies, stainless steel bottles, sweatshirts, Polar Plunge Bag Toss games, or an Amazon Echo Plus. These prizes

are distributed in seven tiers: Goosebumps, Chilly, Cold, Frostbite, Frigid, Arctic, and Glacial. Additional awards will honor the plunger that raises the most pledges (Golden Plunger Award), the team that raises the most in pledges (Top Team Award), the best individual costume (Best Dressed Award), and the best team costume (Best Dressed Team Award).

Interested plungers can register online at www.somt. org/plunge/, and donors can donate to a Plunge or help a Plunger reach his/her goal by making a pledge from that same website.

According to Mandy Patriarche, Development Director for Special Olympics of Montana, “Although encouraged, pre-registration isn’t necessary. If you want to show-up the day of the event, you can Plunge as long as you have the minimum pledge amount of $125.00.” Event organizers also encourage those who are “Too Chicken to Plunge,” to register as a chicken, raise pledges, and receive incentives just like a regular plunger but without having to step foot into the icy water.

Moreover, schools are encouraged to take part through the Cool Schools program. A Cool School is a group of students, faculty, and staff brave enough to take the dip into freezing waters to support Special Olympics Montana programs in their schools and communities.

As an alternative, a school’s Polar Plunge team can raise $1,000 to Toss a Teacher or Plunge a Principal, and up to twelve Individuals can plunge alongside that teacher or principal. Additional students can plunge provided that the total fundraising averages $50 for each plunger. Cool School Tool Kits are available at http://somt.org/plunge/, and school teams are encouraged to wear school colors to profile school pride.

Anyone seeking additional information about a Plunge event or the Plunge Series can contact Patriarche by calling (406)589-6005. The Polar Plunge is primarily organized, promoted and conducted by the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Montana. Although the first Polar Plunge was held in Whitefish, Montana, in 1999, since then the events have grown to 12 different plunges held all over the state with over 11,000 participants raising more than $350,000 annually for Special Olympics Montana.

According to the Special Olympics Montana website, “The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.”

Earlier this month, the National Wheat Foundation (NWF) announced the national winners for the 2018 National Wheat Yield Contest with one area producer gaining recognition. The contest recognizes winners in two primary competition categories: winter wheat and spring wheat, and two subcategories: dryland and irrigated.

Although the High Yield Winner was Phillip Gross from Adams County, Washington, with 202.53 bushels/ acre in the Irrigated Winter Wheat category, Randy Bokma from Fergus County in Denton, Montana, was ranked fifth nationwide in the Winter Wheat Dryland category with 123.59 bushels/acre. Bokma planted WestBred seed to harvest his winning crop.

The top five national winners from each category and subcategory will be recognized at the 2019 Commodity Classic, along with the overall high yield winner. This year’s Classic will be held February 28 - March 2, 2019 in Orlando, Florida, at the Orange County Convention Center.

The National Wheat Yield Contest offers growers the opportunity to compete with farmers across the United States and to learn from one another about innovative techniques that will improve wheat productivity on their farms. The Contest’s objectives are to drive innovation in the industry, to enable knowledge transfer between growers, to encourage the use of available technology, and to identify top wheat growers across the U.S.

At the Commodity Classic growers celebrate their successful seasons, network with wheat growers from across the country, and learn about the latest innovations available to advance yields and profit potential.

According to Foundation Board President Wayne Hurst, the NWF received a record-breaking 318 total entries this year from 25 wheat producing states. Official rules and entry details for the 2019 Contest will be available

by January 1, 2019 at www.yieldcontest.wheatfoundation. org.

Contest winners were determined by evaluating their yield percentage increase above their most recent five-year USDA-NASS county Olympic averages. First-place state winners within each sector compete for the national awards.

In Montana, those winners included Ed Bibeau from Malta and Russell McIntosh from Havre, placing first and second in the dryland spring wheat category. Bokma, Glenn Todd from Denton, and Robert Grubb from Coffee Creek placed first, second and third respectively in the dryland winter wheat category to advance to national competition.
