Lionel Herreid
POLSON — Lionel E. “Sonny” Herreid, age 87, went to be with his wife of 60 years, Gail, on Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021, at his home. He was born on May 17, 1934, to Ernest and Wilma Herreid in Polson. He was the second of four children, including Dorrene, Shirley, and Dale.
Sonny served in the U.S. Army from 1954 – 1956. He married E. Gail Kimball on April 10, 1957. They were married for 60 plus years in which they had five T’s: Tammie (Barry) Zeiser, Tim (Geri), Teresa, Todd (Koko) and Tedd (Steph); 13 grandkids and numerous great-grandkids.
Sonny enjoyed his woodworking and fishing with his bride at Camp Tuffit.
They lived in Polson until purchasing a farm in Valley View in 1963. Sonny drove a logging truck while he ranched and raised beef cows. The ranch and dairy life took up their time until 1981 when they moved back to Polson. He continued to work for Lake County driving truck. After retiring from the county, he drove a school bus for the Polson School District. He finally hung up his
keys and retired to fishing, snoozing on the deck in the summer at Camp Tuffit, his home away from home, and building bird houses in the winter. He spent his free time having a toddy or two with his good friends. He never stopped talking about the good times with the “work party gang” at Tuffit. Lionel Herreid He was preceded in death by his wife, Gail; his parents, Ernest and Wilma Herreid; his siblings, Dorrene, Shirley, and Dale; and an infant granddaughter, Robin.

Richard Bick
MISSOULA — Richard Wayne Bick, 63, died of heart failure on Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021, in Spokane, Washington.
He was born on March 31, 1958, in Ronan to Charles and Delores Bick. The fourth of six children, Rich was taught the value of love and hard work on a dairy farm while attending school in Charlo. He never had to worry about what to do with his spare time as he was kept busy raising calves, putting up hay, and milking cows.
While attending school in Charlo, he met LuJuana Mae Bauer, the love of his life. On Sept. 29, 1979, they were married in Charlo and were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple in Idaho on Dec. 9, 1981. Rich was a loyal husband and a wonderful father. He was blessed with an ability to lovingly understand and teach his children as well as their many friends.
Rich was an accomplished mechanic and welder, gaining much experience working on heavy equipment while employed with the State of Montana. He retired as a shop foreman after working for the State Highway Department for 35 years. Outside of work he used his talents to bless the lives of many; with numerous friends, family, and strangers benefitting from Rich’s expertise. He could fix anything, operate most equipment, and was a skilled builder. Wherever he volunteered, he had a positive impact on those he worked with and people sincerely enjoyed working with him. He served the community through countless activities including helping his sons and many others achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
Most of all, Rich strived to live his life as a disciple of Christ. He knew where he came from and never deviated on where he wanted to go. He prioritized attending the temple and never turned down a church responsibility. In each opportunity to serve, he felt blessed, and said that “Service is the rent you pay for living on this earth. There is joy in service.”
Rich’s passing was unexpected, but his primary goal in life was to have an eternal family, and he looked forward to the time in which he would be with his daughter, Julie, and our Father in Heaven again.
He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Fred Bick; his father-in-law, Arnold Alfred Bauer; his daughter, Julie Dawn; and his niece, Jenneil Dawn Thornburg.
Survivors include his mother, Delores Bick Rogers (Jim Rogers); his wife, LuJuana; children Jeanne Diane (Merrill McKamey), Susan Jean (Austin Lewis), Dawn Marie (Chris Robinson), Christopher Paul (Rosanne Larson), and Richard Thomas (Nika Montgomery); sixteen grandchildren; brothers, Donald (Kristy), Wallace (Kelly), Robert (Caralyn Schroter); sisters, Theresa (Ralph Johnston), Barbara (Vern Stipe) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Services have been held. Arrangements are under the direction of Shrider’s Mortuary in Ronan. Memories and condolences may be sent to the family at: www. shriderthompson.com.
Arrangements are under the care of Shrider–Thompson Funeral Home.

votes to an impermissible level.” More specifically, he wrote that voter representation is “potentially magnified” in District 1 and potentially diminished in District 3.
The degree to which population has shifted in the state became clear earlier this year when the U.S. Census Bureau released the results of its decennial population count. The PSC map was last updated in 2003. Since then, District 3, which includes southwestern Montana population centers Bozeman and Butte, has grown by more than 60,000 residents. District 1, which includes Great Falls, Lewistown, and all northeastern Montana, has added just 2,400 people in the last 20 years.
The order applies to candidates running in districts 1 and 5, where voters will elect PSC commissioners in the 2022 election cycle. Commissioners serve four-year terms, and by law can’t serve more than two terms in a 16-year period.
District 1 is currently represented by Sun River resident Randy Pinocci, a Republican who’s three-quarters of the way through his first term.
District 5’s seat is held by the commission’s vice chair, Republican Brad Johnson of East Helena, who will be termed out in 2022. District 5 includes Lewis and Clark County and five other counties stretching north and west from there.
At least three Montanans have announced plans to run in District 5: Republicans Joe Dooling and Derek Skees, a current state representative from Kalispell, and Democrat Kevin Hamm.
Several bills proposed in prior legislative sessions would have either reapportioned PSC districts directly, specified a redistricting process for the commission, or otherwise restructured the body, the lawsuit notes. None passed into law.
Molloy’s order will be in effect until at least Jan. 7, when he hears arguments on a motion for preliminary injunction at Missoula’s federal courthouse.

Afterschool community organizations, including schools, will receive $2,805,957 for the calendar year of 2022. Grantees can apply for renewal for the second year of funding.
The Montana Afterschool Grant is a formula grant. It has a two-tier process where interested organizations or schools have until Nov. 12 to submit an Intent to Apply.
The criteria for general eligibility and amount funded included: – Number of students of serving – Location and population density of the community, – Socio-economic status of the students served
The formal application is now open. For the first allocation, 75 afterschool programming sites are eligible to apply for funding, and over 4,000 Montana students will be served.
“As a classroom teacher of 23 years, partnership with afterschool programs is essential for the continuation of learning,” said State Superintendent Elsie Arntzen. “These afterschool partners provide a safe learning environment supporting our hardworking Montana parents.”
A steering committee was formed in late spring of 2021, with multiple conversations focusing on current and future needs in a sustainable model. OPI will be offering an introduction to the electronic grant (E-grant) application and technical support webinar Wednesday, Dec. 29 at 11 a.m. via Zoom.

Calling Our Warriors
from page 8
Missoula, expresses his frustration with the misinformation that continues to prevent people from getting vaccinated and taking routine precautions like wearing masks and keeping a safe distance in social settings. “It feels unnecessary that we are where we are.”
He offers this sobering observation about COVID patients: “90% of the people admitted to our hospital now are unvaccinated and anecdotally, for me, every person that I’ve intubated, that goes on a ventilator and is unvaccinated just doesn’t survive – 100% mortality rate.”
People who are vaccinated and get the virus are far less likely to end up in the ER, or on a ventilator. “Their odds of getting intubated are a lot lower and their odds of surviving it are a lot higher,” he says. “That’s the point of the vaccine.”
Finley is also a vaccine advocate. “From a cultural perspective my ancestors weren’t stupid,” he says. “When a tool was presented to them that would help make a job easier, make life easier, they took advantage of it.”
“I see vaccination as an important tool,” he adds. “I don’t believe my ancestors would turn away from it.”
Devereaux, a Missoula-based music producer who also worked on a series of music videos produced by the Tribes to help combat COVID, had two go-arounds with the virus.
The first time, “it was tough – definitely not your everyday sickness.” His fever finally broke after six days. His second encounter came after he was vaccinated “so it was much, much easier.”
Despite his own firsthand experience, conducting interviews for the film “was just eye opening,” he says. “I was impacted in a way that made me take it more seriously. That’s what I hope everybody takes away from it.”
So far, the 14-minute documentary has been viewed in its entirety 1,000 times, 2,500 people have watched at least 10 minutes or more, and over 2,000 have visited the website, www. CallingOurWarriors.com.
“I’m so proud of it,” says Mitchell. “I think it did exactly what we were hoping it would do – get people’s attention and then remind them of who we are, that we take care of each other, we don’t just take care of ourselves.”
