Calling All Sugarbeet Festival Vendors Although the Chinook Area Chamber of Commerce announced in mid-June that they were ready to start collecting vendor forms for the 14th Annual Sugarbeet Festival slated for September 7-8 in Chinook, they wish to remind vendors and exhibitors that for a reserved space, application forms and payment need to be turned in as soon as possible, with a final deadline of August 24. Each regular vendor booth accommodates an eightfoot table or a ten-foot by ten-foot tent and costs $30.00 for two days. Food vendors can bring a trailer or rent a ten by ten space. Those with a trailer will pay $50.00 for both days. Discounted pricing for booth space is available to members of the Chinook Chamber, who can reserve booths for $10 for two days or park a trailer for $30.00 for both days of the festival. Unreserved spots are first come first serve, and vendors are asked to come with arrangements to provide their own power if it is needed. The Chinook Chamber encourages vendors of any and all kinds but announced that no inside vendor space will be available this year. Individuals interested in taking advantage of the crowd this event brings are encouraged to contact Sarah Pratt for making a reservation or with any questions by calling 406-720-0837. An event that began in 2004, the Chinook Sugarbeet Festival is held each year in Chinook, Montana, to honor an industry or area of the community that has significantly impacted the small town. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will run from 8:00 AM on September 7 through 4:00 PM on September 8.

The case concerning the poaching of ten deer in McCone County last fall has been settled in McCone County Justice Court. Two high school-aged males were found guilty on multiple wildlife violations for events that took place on October 15, 2017, prior to the opening of general deer season. In this case, Region 6 Game Wardens confirmed a total of ten dead deer, most of which were shot with a shotgun using loads typically used for pheasants. The deer were found scattered over two miles near road 528 in northern McCone County on the north end of the Remuda Twitchell BMA, about 10 miles east of Highway 24. A local resident reported the dead deer early the following morning. Due to people’s coming forward with good information, the individuals responsible were quickly identified and interviewed. Thirty-five citations were issued to the two individuals, including hunting during a closed season and waste of game animals. The case just recently closed, however, as the court process took some time. McCone County Justice Court has ordered the one individual to pay $6,810 in fines, $2600 in restitution, and endure four years loss of hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges. McCone County Justice Court has ordered the second individual to pay $5,960 in fines, $1,450 in restitution, and lose three years of hunting fishing, and trapping privileges.

DEAR DAVE, Why do you think all debt is bad? Aren’t some kinds of debt, like a mortgage or student loans, good? ~Nathan DEAR NATHAN, It sounds like you’re letting me know you think some kinds of debt are okay, instead of really asking for my opinion. When you ask a question that’s really a statement, it’s called a passive aggressive question. That’s okay. You and I will now argue as best we can in a newspaper column. It’s not necessarily a question of what I think. I’m really just the aggregator of information we’ve gathered while walking with people through their financial issues. I’ve worked with tens of thousands of folks over nearly 30 years, everyone from billionaires and millionaires to broke people, and those in between. In the process, we’ve collected a lot of data through formal research projects — I’m talking about a huge stockpile of statistics, facts, and figures. And all that data shows debt is the biggest roadblock between people and wealth. I’m also a Christian. Having read the bible, and what it says about money, I can tell you there’s not one place where it says debt is a good idea. So, all that information leads me to one conclusion. Debt is not a positive thing. The only kind of debt I don’t beat people up over is mortgage debt, as long as it’s a 15year, fixed rate loan. Houses are wildly expensive, and I understand that most people can’t save up to buy a home with cash in a reasonable amount of time. Still, that doesn’t make mortgage debt a good thing. Any kind of debt is a burden, Nathan. It steals from your ability to save, build wealth, and be generous. ~ Dave DEAR DAVE, I owe $18,000 on my only car, and the payments are killing me. I’m also upside down on the vehicle by about $4,000. I’m 31, and I’ve got exactly $18,000 in my 401(k). Should I cash it in to pay off the car? ~Monty DEAR Monty, If you use your 401(k) they’ll charge you a 10 percent penalty, plus your tax rate. That means you’ll probably lose anywhere from 25 to 50 percent to the government. I don’t know about you, but I think they already get too much of our money. I love the fact that you want to get rid of your car payment, but I don’t want you to cash out your retirement plan to make it happen. If you can pay off the car in 18 months or less, I’d advise living on a strict, written budget, and throwing as money as possible toward the car debt until it’s out of your life forever. If it would take longer than 18 months to pay it off, I’d get rid of the car. To do this, you’d have to sell it for as much as you can get, then go to a local credit union for a small loan to cover the difference. If it’s your only car, you’d need to ask for an extra $2,000 to $3,000 to buy a little beater to drive until you can save up and get into something better. I hate all kinds of debt, Monty. But being $5,000 to $6,000 in the hole is a lot better than having $18,000 in debt hanging over your head! ~Dave * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions.

Water Temperature Correlates with Higher Mortality of Walleye

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks wants to remind anglers that as reservoir water temperatures increase, mortality associated with catch and release also increases. A study published in 2011 in The North American Journal of Fisheries Management found that walleye catch and release mortality rate rose from 0-1.8% with water temps below 68° Fahrenheit to nearly 16% when water temps were above 68° F. Walleye that are played for extended periods of time, handled extensively in the boat, and/or stored in a live well will see an increase in mortality if the fish is later released. Techniques to minimize catch and release mortality include • fighting and landing the fish as quickly as possible • keeping the fish in the water • removing the hook as gently as possible • having a camera or phone ready for pictures • not placing the fish in a live well if planning to release it Additionally, anglers are encouraged to harvest fish that are deeply hooked or bleeding, as those fish will likely not survive.

Shipwrecked

There were two men shipwrecked on this island. The minute they got on to the island one of them started screaming and yelling, "We're going to die! We're going to die! There's no food! No water! We're going to die!" The second man was propped up against a palm tree and acting so calmly it drove the fi rst man crazy. "Don't you understand?!? We're going to die!!" The second man replied, "You don't understand, I make $100,000 a week." The fi rst man looked at him quite dumbfounded and asked, "What difference does that make?!? We're on an island with no food and no water! We're going to DIE!!!" The second man answered, "You just don't get it. I make $100,000 a week and I tithe ten percent on that $100,000 a week. My pastor will fi nd me!"

It seems that stress is the disease of the century. Products and programs to manage stress are a multi billion-dollar business, whether the “cure” is medicine, counseling, books, seminars or classes. But I’ve discovered that God’s way of managing stress is the most effective way to live. Jesus says in John 14:27 (AMP): “Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]” I know what it’s like to live under the burden and pressure of stress, and I know what it’s like to have God’s peace. I can honestly say that I will do whatever I have to do to have God’s peace in my life, because it is not God’s will for us to live with stress all the time. It’s easy for us to feel like we can’t avoid being stressed-out because it’s just the way the world is today. But the truth is just because stress is a disease of our culture, it doesn’t mean we have to adopt the ways of our culture and live the same way. We have two options: We can continue to be stressed-out until we fall apart, or we can learn how to receive the peace Christ gives in every circumstance, rather than letting stress get into us. The Cure for Stress For many years, I lived with constant stress. I was sexually abused by my father throughout my childhood. Then when I left home at the age of 18, I married the first man who came along because I was afraid no one else would want me, and that led to five years of misery. He ended up abandoning me. By the time I was 23 and met Dave Meyer, I was a mess! I was worried, full of fear, insecure and had a poor self-image. So I tried to find value in what I did and became a workaholic. Over time, I developed physical problems, like frequent headaches and backaches, and had problems in many of my relationships because I was unhappy and hard to get along with. I finally came to the place where I decided that I would not live that way any longer. Whatever it took, I was going to have God’s peace and live a peaceful life! James 1:21 says, “…With a humble spirit receive the word [of God] which is implanted [actually rooted in your heart], which is able to save your souls.” Although I was a Christian during this time of my life, I needed to “get saved” in my soul—my mind, will and emotions. I needed to renew my mind with the Word of God so I could know the Truth and be set free from the root issues of my stress. Here’s how it works: When we study God’s Word—reading it, meditating on it, getting it deep down in our hearts—it changes the way we think. This causes us to change the way we talk, which changes our attitudes, and then our behavior changes. At this point, the things around us—our circumstances— can’t control us anymore. Get to the Root of Your Stress Being set free from the pressure of stress begins with God’s Word, but we also have to understand that if things are going to change in our lives, we will have to take responsibility to change them with God’s help. So the first thing we need to do is pray and be willing to hear what He has to say about the real root of our problem. If you’re already doing your part, then be determined to trust God to fix things. But if you’re not walking in wisdom or you’re doing things a certain way just because that’s the way everybody else is doing it, then follow the direction He is speaking to your heart to make a change. We must pray and obey! This means we make a commitment not to live based on the culture around us but by the leading of the Holy Spirit, who lives in us as born-again believers in Christ. Our mind-set should be: With God’s help, I’m ready to make a change. Then as we do what He shows us to do (or what He shows us not to do), we’ll be able to live in peace. Pursue the peace Jesus is offering you today. It’s not the kind the world gives—the kind you have as long as your circumstances are the way you want them to be. The peace Jesus gives makes you calm and undisturbed on the inside, in your soul, no matter what’s going on around you. Study other scriptures about peace, like Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 3:15 and 1 Peter 3:11. Put your trust in God completely and enjoy the life Jesus died to give you. Through Christ, you can learn how to manage the stress of this world, instead of letting stress manage you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more on this topic, order Joyce’s four-CD series Sit, Stand, Walk, Run.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor by Krayton Kerns, DVM, former State Rep. HD 58

By the King’s Decree It was late September and we were gathering cattle from the top of the Big Horns. The twenty guests joining us were welcomed to our Lake Creek Cow Camp by a foot of fresh snow. The first morning, each cowboy took a couple guests and scattered through the high country searching for cows. Renee and Gabe, a mother-daughter duo from North Carolina, followed me up Lick Creek. It was deathly calm, and the fresh snow muffled each hoof strike making it feel as if we were floating across the mountainside. Above timberline, we stopped and rested our horses until the early morning sun finally broke through exposing the rims on the far side of the canyon. As the steam from our ponies gently rose around us Renee whispered, “Do you realize how blessed you are that this is your life?” I smiled and thought, “Yes I do. Got myself a good woman at home and God made me a Wyoming cowboy.” Here is what I meant. My father had me and my brothers chasing cows when we were old enough to hold the reins and he pounded cowboy etiquette into our skinny psyche. Being the first to get the gate, doing what is right especially when no one is looking, firmly shaking a man’s hand, tipping your hat to a lady and leaving things you borrowed in better shape than you found them were daily bullet points. My upbringing was not unique as being a cowboy is more how you live your life than how you make your living and there are cowboys who are truckers, carpenters, plumbers and electricians. It’s what’s in your heart that counts and today, the cowboy epitomizes the American spirit. However, leftists hate the icon as much as they hate our country and here is proof. The University of Wyoming, home of the Cowboys, recently adopted the slogan “The World Needs More Cowboys.” They are right. However, in today’s era of snowflakes, safe spaces, and government speak, politically correct faculty members shrieked the new slogan excludes women, people of color and native Americans. Mind you, this hysteria came from the co-chair of the discriminatory 60-member Committee on Women and People of Color. These folks are helpless city kids and will never get it, so attention students: Unless your degree significantly strengthens your position in the marketplace you are wasting your money paying leftist professors to indoctrinate you on the joys of collectivism. As John Wayne said, it might be time to “throw the coffee on the fire and ride on.”

Reser Reservoir Being Drained

Reser Reservoir, a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) reservoir located approximately 18 miles northwest of Chinook, will be slowly drained throughout the summer due to structural damage at the dam. A small washout was observed this spring, and repair and maintenance to the dam is necessary to avoid a complete loss to the structure. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) is working with BLM staff to coordinate the drawdown while trying to salvage and transfer as many gamefish as possible. FWP personnel are setting trap nets to collect yellow perch, bluegill, black crappie, and largemouth bass. These fish are then placed into tanks and transferred to other waterbodies. The perch and black crappie will be transferred to Bailey’s reservoir, the bluegill to Salmo Reservoir, and the largemouth bass to Dry Fork Reservoir. FWP officials encourage anglers to enjoy Reser Reservoir while it lasts. Once repairs are made to the dam and water returns, FWP will again stock fish and re-establish this popular fishery. Any questions should be directed to fisheries biologist Cody Nagel at 265-6177.

How Long is Long Enough?

The biggest mistake people make in grazing management is providing too short a recovery period for plants after grazing. Of course too much rest isn’t good either. In drier environments excluding animals from a pasture long after it has recovered will lead to reduced productivity, dead grass and bare soil. In wetter environments it can lead to brush encroachment. The basic rule is: When growth is slow, we should use long recovery periods. When growth is faster, recovery periods should be shorter. This invites several questions, including: How long is long enough?” “How long is too long?” and “How short is too short?” The only responsible answer to each of these questions is, “It depends.” It depends on how severely the pasture was used the last time it was grazed. The more severely it was used, the longer it will take to recover. The recovery needed also depends on the season. In late summer or in the dormant season when plants are growing slowly we need longer recovery periods than we need in the spring when we have rapid growth. (There are exceptions. In some drier environments the fast growth period is so short that by the time we recognize it’s happening, it’s over. In those places producers may opt for relatively long recovery periods year-round.) Unfortunately, there is no formula for calculating what the rest period ought to be. There is no recipe that says, “Graze 2-days, add water and minerals to taste, rest for 60 days. Repeat.” There is as much art as there is science to knowing when a pasture has recovered and is ready for grazing. Recovery has as much to do with root regrowth as it does the regrowth of leaves. You can’t go digging up your pasture to see how the roots are doing…although digging up one or two plants might be a good idea. Your only recourse is to make an educated guess. Before you make an educated guess you will probably need to make some uneducated guesses. There is a way to put yourself on a crash course to accelerate your learning. In the last ProfitTips, I suggested looking at the paddock you planned to move the herd into BEFORE checking the paddock that the herd is in. Next time you go out to check the herd, I encourage you to make one other stop. Before you check either the paddock the herd is in or the one you plan to move them into, take a look at a paddock that was grazed 3 or 4 weeks ago. Ask yourself, “Is this pasture recovering as rapidly as I thought it would?” If there’s less growth than you anticipated, you need to lengthen the rest period. If there’s more than you anticipated, you can move the animals a little sooner. When in doubt, give pastures a little more rest.

Mourning Dove Banding to Resume in Outlook This Year

For the fifth year, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Outlookarea wildlife biologist Ryan Williamson is trapping and banding mourning doves. His work is part of an effort to estimate population size, harvest rates and regulations. Mourning doves, one of the most widely distributed and abundant birds in North America, are also a popular game bird, with hunting seasons established in 40 of the lower 48 states. “Banding mourning doves is the primary method to estimate population size and harvest rates for the species, and the information collected is used in the federal framework to establish dove hunting regulations for each state,” says Williamson, who is assisting with banding operations in Montana. “Doves are marked with metal leg bands containing a unique number and a website that hunters can use to report the band,” Williamson says. “In return, wildlife managers receive important information on the number of banded doves harvested, and the locations and dates of harvest.” Recaptured birds and band numbers reported by hunters are the only way FWP officials know what happened to that bird and where that bird traveled, according to Williamson. “By checking all harvested doves for bands and reporting banded doves, hunters help manage this important migratory game bird.” Williamson also says the same goes for any banded bird. “I have used the website to report bands found on birds I have harvested, and it’s very quick and easy. The story that band will tell can be very interesting.” “What I still find the most rewarding about dove banding is the returns from previous years,” said Williamson. “Again this year, I have recaptured birds from all years I have banded starting in 2014, including birds banded as adults in 2014. It’s amazing to think of how many miles some of these birds have flown in their lives, considering how many critters are trying to make lunch of them along the way.” Because some bands are very small, hunters can easily overlook them. Williamson reminds hunters to carefully check all harvested doves and waterfowl for the presence of a leg band. If you harvest a banded migratory bird, please report it by logging on to http://www.reportband.gov.
