SAND ELECTRIC has been in the process of setting up a base of operations in Scobey the past year or so, but now the committment has become much greater with the purchase of the former Outlaw Trail Cafe building on the corner of 1st Avenue West and Janus Street. The building has mostly been vacant since the restaurant re-located to Main Street. Josh Sand (left), owner of the company was in Scobey earlier this week when we caught the electrician playing the role of carpenter, building shelves for equip-ment and supplies in the new Scobey location. The loca-tion will provide an operations base and supply storage, rather than a store front, for his new employee, master electrician John Stanley. He had been living and work-ing in the Scobey area for a short time previous to the building purchase. Josh told the Leader they are staying busy and have a lot of work already lined up. “It should be a good deal for everyone” he said, “It will save a lot of driving and windshield time, saving money for the cli-ents.” Work will still be scheduled and dispatched from the Glasgow phone numbers, “We may eventually be-come a store front and need a secretary at this location, but for now, we’ll see how things go,” he said. The location will not only provide supplies storage and a parking lot for his equipment . . . living quarters are in the plans for Stanley in one end of the building. The past few months, Jasmyn deSousa has been renting a portion of the building and will be able to stay on as a renter with her Jazzy Style Grooming for pets. —Leader Photo, burl

Elsewhere in this issue there is an official notice concerning the permanent closure of the Big Beaver Port of Entry, which is the Canadian counterpart of the U.S. Port of Whitetail, MT. In the notice, travelers are advised to enter Canada at other crossings, after March 31st. The Canada Border Services Agency first made the announcement in July of 2010, all unbeknownst by the American government, which at the time, had already started a multi-million dollar renova-tion to the Whitetail Port. There has been efforts Canadian organizations, N.O.P.E. (Not Our Port of Entry) and Ports to Prairies, assisted by several interested Americans to keep the port from closing. Hopes were to get the American and Canadian border service people and other elected officials to come together for a meeting, which to our knowledge, has not happened. At this writing, after sev-eral hours of making phone calls, emails to politicians and government agencies and getting referred to many different offices from Wash-ington State to Washington,

D.C., we do not know for sure what the American side plans to do. Very likely close, but when? Or will Canadians be able to enter the U.S. but not leave through that port.? Not likely. It appears that no one in Customs and Border Protec-tion, at any level, has been given a directive. This was somewhat confirmed by CBP public affairs officer, Lynn Shozda of Sweetgrass when she told us that she has not yet heard anything as to the official closing. If the upper echelon isn’t aware of when this will take place, do the employees know when their jobs will be re-located? Late in September of last year, Senator Jon Tester announced that the Depart-ment of Homeland Security would begin the process of the Whitetail closure, but Congress would have 90 days to review the proposal and after the 90 days, a 60-day public comment period would be opened up. Then a final decision would be made. We should be at about the end of the public comment time period. And, it appears to be the end of the road at Whitetail.

J.O Motor Inn On Main Has NewOwners; New Use The J.O. Motor Inn, on the north end of Main Street in Scobey was sold recently by Norman Juel to J & H Harvesting (Mark Jensen & Jesper Hansen). Plans are to do some fix-ing up on the place to serve as living quarters for the company’s growing harvest crew. The motel has been closed for many years. Among other names, the location was also previously known as The General’s Motor Inn and the Knight Hotel.

Lavey Charged WithMisappropriation of Premiums/Theft Charges have been filed in District Court, by the State of Montana, accusing a Scobey insurance agent, Eugene, “Tip” Lavey of “Misappro-priations of Premiums/Theft (Common Scheme)”. He as been summoned to appear in District Court in Scobey on Wednesday, March 16 for an initial ap-pearance. Documents filed with the Court say he allegedly, through a series of acts, misappropriated for his personal use, a total of over $56,000 in premiums paid by clients, from May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009, in over 200 transactions. An investigation began on November 11, 2009 when the Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance office received a complaint from a Farmers Insurance Exchange senior auditor, who had conducted an audit of the defendant’s business in Scobey. The auditor alleged that from March 2009 through April of 2009, Tip Lavey, who was a Farmers Insur-ance agent at that time, had misappropriated over $8,900 in premiums entrusted to him by 89 insured clients. Subsequent investiga-

tions by the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance were conducted and the resulting investigations de-termined that there appeared to be many other instances of misappropriated funds during the May 2008 to April 2009 time frame. These felony charges are punishable by fines up to $50,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 10 years or both. Mike Winsor of the Mon-tana State Auditor’s Office and Special Assistant Attor-ney General will be acting as the Special Deputy Daniels County Attorney and attorney for the State.

THE LITTLE NEWSPAPER DOING A BIG JOB

Covering Daniels County and portions of Western Sheridan, North Roosevelt and Northern Valley like the morning dew

It was a big responsibility for a 4-yr. old, but John Carney handled it well. He opened the gate to Dis-neyland the morning of February 9. This allowed the many thousands of visitors to enter into the famous theme park; and also to leave later on. Wow! John’s folks, Todd and Dori, John and his little sister Kayla, were the first in line to enter Disneyland that morning and while waiting were visiting with employees. The gentleman at right asked John if he would open the gate when the time came and he agreed. (No-tice the control w/cord in his hand, with the button which opened the gate.) When given the word, John pressed the button, the gate opened and the crowd poured in – led, we assume, by the Carney family of Scobey.

Lickety split is a term not used as much as it was a number of years ago. It means “very fast” or “head-long.” The “lick” in the phrase is associated with speed because of how fast the tongue moves in the mouth and “split” is probably associated with anoth-er term, split second.

It has been reported that many public pension funds around the nation are now underfunded. There can be several reasons for this. The recession causing lower interest on public investments for a couple of years is one major reason. Many pension funds did not follow prudent “spread the risk” plans. A connected problem is that while the recession continues officials are loath to make increases in pay-ments to the various pension plans during this era of general belt tightening. An under estimation of ever increasing longevity in the U.S. has also contributed to the current shortfalls. Some experts point out that similar situations have arisen in years past and the pensions always bounce back. If not, state and local governments are required by law to keep the pensioners’ monthly checks coming in. These include most government workers such as police, fire fighters, highway patrol, teachers, legislators, judges — general PERS. This under funding is not included in the much publicized debts in many states. The various pension funds in Montana have un-

funded liabilities totaling nearly two and one-half million dollars. In comparison, North Dakota’s prob-lem is less than a million and Minnesota’s is more than fifteen million dollars. (None of the above fig-ures include any health care programs.) –MG

A recent morning with another inch or two of snow saw this writer out early to clear a path on the sidewalk before it became packed down by pedes-trians heading to the school. Only two sets of tracks were evident in the new snow – those of a deer and of a dog – it was assumed. Back inside, warming our feet, a different possi-bility entered our mind. We might have actually seen evidence of a wildlife saga. Maybe that second set of tracks were those of a coyote – even though it was only a block off Scobey’s Main Street. That predatory canine could have been hoping that the deer was so weakened by the, long, tough winter that it would be easy prey. Upon looking for evidence of an encounter between the two, nothing was found nearby. So, we will never know if that second set of tracks were made by a coyote or by his relative, a friendly neighborhood dog. A winter such as this one, with lots of snow cover, always causes various wildlife to seek refuge in towns. –MG

LEADING OFFIN SPORTSTRIVIA On February 25, 1940 the New York Rangers defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-2 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. What made this game so significant?

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER Question: What team captured the first-ever East C Division Girls’ Basketball Tournament championship in 1977? Answer: Nashua Porcu-pines.

DORSETH BREAKSSERIES RECORD John Dorseth set a new series record February 21 during Monday Night Men’s League at D.C. Lanes. The Scobey kegler rolled a 255-214-289—758 to break the previous record of 242-245-258—745 established in 2002 by Tony Lantz. Yes, you’re right, Dorseth did just miss a perfect-game 300 in game three. In the tenth frame he made strike on his initial roll, left the 7 pin standing on the second throw and picked up the spare on the third roll for a 289.

Spartans’ March To State CHalted By More Experience

OPHEIM HIGH SCHOOL junior Gwynn Simeniuk flips an underhand layup against Fairview during the cham-pionship game of the East C Divisional Tournament. The Spartans lost to the Warriors and then a challenge from Saco-Whitewater to finish third. — Photo by Kyle Myhre

It all came down to just one thing: experience. Fairview’s Masyn Klose, Morgan Klose, Tiffany Kit-tleson and Jordan Gifford have all captured a Montana Class C Girls’ Basketball State Tournament champi-onship; Jade Benson, Demi Henderson and BriAnn Nelson have not. Saco-Whitewater’s Mac-ey Cox, Angie Crowder, Jessica Davis and Brianne DePuydt have all played in the State C Tournament title game, against those same Fairview girls; Macki Kilgore, Karsen Drury and Gwynn Simeniuk have not. So in order for the Scobey Spartans to place in the top two at last week’s East C Divisional Tournament in Glasgow to secure a berth in the this week’s State C Tournament in Hamilton, the road had to pass through the Fairview Warriors and Saco-Whitewater Panthers, who faced each other for the 2010 state title in Great Falls with Fairview winning 58-42. Culbertson came close to doing the Spartans a huge favor in Saturday’s consola-tion — a Cowgirl win and Scobey was in the State C despite the outcome of the championship — but Saco-Whitewater’s experience showed. Crowder canned a pair of 3-pointers for a tie with 1:23 left and a one-point lead with 58 seconds to go, fresh-man Shyla Gairrett sank a free throw for a 69-all tie with 42.4 left and DePuydt, with 6.3 ticks remaining on a nice cross-over move in the key, hit the game-winner in a 71-69 final. Scobey met Fairview Saturday night in the cham-pionship game and, despite

a solid effort, the Spartans came up on the short end of a 51-42 final score. Scobey’s loss meant a Monday night challenge from Saco-Whitewater, whose experience was evident again when at 8:18 p.m. the Pan-thers were officially celebrat-ing a 55-41 victory over the Spartans. Fairview and Saco-White-water were moving on to Hamilton while the Spartans were headed home with the East C’s third place trophy and a 21-4 overall record. The pairings for the State C Tournament beginning to-day (Thursday, March 3) on Dale Berry Court at Hamilton High School are: Ennis (22-3) vs. Joliet at 12:30 p.m.; Belt (23-0) vs. Saco-Whitewater (20-6) at 2 p.m.; Harlowton-Ryegate vs. Drummond (20-4) at 6:30 p.m.; Fairview (24-0) vs. Winnett-Grass Range at 8 p.m.

• • • The Spartans opened the divisional tourney Thursday at 1 p.m. with a convincing 46-24 victory over the Froid-Lake Redhawks, their largest lead at 43-15 early in the fourth. Senior post Drury was 5-of-8 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free throw line to lead all scorers with 13 markers while Simeniuk and Kilgore both shot 4-of-7 from the field. Froid-Lake (24) vs. Scobey (46), first round, Thursday, Feb-ruary 24 — Froid-Lake: Whitney Anderson 0-0 0-0 0, Nicole Kirby 0-0 2-2 2, Skyler Ereth 0-0 0-0 0, Lacey Hove 0-0 0-0 0, Carlie Ander-son 2-3 1-3 5, Callie Hendrickson 1-8 1-2 4, Danielle Sundvold 0-2 0-0 0, Jackie Thompson 0-5 1-2 1, Ashlin Johnson 1-1 0-0 2, Kacie

BASKETBALL — Lil’ kid halftime hoop: It was Friday, February 4, when some of the elementary kids from Scobey and Opheim provided the halftime entertainment during the Saco-Whitewater at Scobey girls’ varsity game. Opheim third grader Kortney Nel-son — number 25 in your program — was one of the participants and judging from the expression on her face she was sure enjoying herself. Spartan boys’ stat chat: The Scobey varsity boys have outscored their 20 opponents 1032-723, a 51.6-36.1 average, and made 129-of-227 (.568) free throws. The Spartans have made 123 three-point field goals, led by Drew Baldry with 45 and followed by Ethan Aldrich with 25, Kale Love 24, T.J. Snare 19, Ryan Rasmussen 6, David Meyers 3 and Logan Hansen 1. Spartan girls’ stat chat: At the East C Divisional Tournament in Glasgow the Spartan girls hit 70-186 (.376) total field goals, 16-53 (.301) being from behind the three-point line, and 23-37 (.621) free throws. The Spartans had 60 turnovers in four games, an average of 15. For the season, which ended Mon-day night with an overall record of 21-4, the Spartans outscored their opponents 1092-678, a 43.6-to-27.1 average. They made 155-244 (.635) free throws. They made 61 three-point field goals, led by BriAnn Nelson with 24 and followed by Demi Henderson with 16, Gwynn Simeniuk 14, Jade Benson 3 and Macki Kilgore and Lindsay Reller 2 each.

• • • Trailing Culbertson 37-30 with 1:07 left in the third period of Friday’s first semi-final, the Spartans showed all in attendance what they’re made of by pulling off an 18-0 scoring blitz. Three-point field goals by Benson and Nelson with a Drury deuce sandwiched in between gave Scobey a 38-37 advantage at the quar-ter break. Drury started the fourth with an inside basket, Henderson followed with a 15-footer, Drury received a nifty bounce-pass-assist from Henderson for another two, Kilgore drilled an 18-footer and Simeniuk, on another assist from Henderson, made a layup. In a span of 5:13 the Spartans went from being down 37-30 to leading 48-37. A short jumper by Kilgore, two free throws by Simeniuk and four freebies by Benson in the final two and a half minutes protected the double-digit lead.

• • • In the first 13 minutes of Saturday’s championship the Spartans managed to lead Fairview five times and be tied at 2, 4, 7, 9, 12 and 16 before the defending state champs took the lead for good. After Henderson made a free throw to knot it at 16 with 3 minutes to go until halftime, the Warriors used an 8-0 run to take control, getting a 16-foot swish out of Gifford, a 14-footer from Lexi Cayko and two buckets from all-stater Morgan Klose for a 24-16 lead. Henderson’s basket with two seconds left made it 24-18 at intermission. The Warriors took their largest lead of the game at 29-18 at the 6:16 mark of the third when Morgan Klose swished a trey from the right baseline. The inte-

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2011 DANIELS COUNTY LEADER, Scobey, Montana 59263 PAGE SEVEN

From Page Sevenrior play of Drury produced three baskets, including a nice 180-degree pivot with a cross-over follow-up to the hole, and two free throws by Nelson cut the deficit to 33-30 with 1:15 left in the quarter. On four occas ions throughout the contest Kittle-son drove right through the heart of Scobey’s defense for layups, one which occurred with 1:02 left in the third for a 35-30 score at the quarter stop. Twenty-six seconds into the fourth the 5-foot-5 junior dropped in a long 2-pointer for a 37-30 lead. A Kilgore free throw fol-lowed by a fast-break layup from Simeniuk made it 37-33 with six minutes left but that is as close as the Spartans would get. Kittleson added a field goal and two free throws, Morgan Klose converted a fast-break layup and Gifford closed out Fairview’s scoring with 7 points — a field goal and 5-of-6 showing from the charity stripe in the final 1:26. Stat-wise, Fairview’s 11-to-17 advantage in fouls led to seven more attempts at the free throw line, where the Warriors sank 13-of-17 for 76.5%! And a 9-to-15 dif-ference in turnovers led to a 17-to-10 points-off-turnovers advantage for the two-time defending East C champs. Fairview (51) vs. Scobey (42), championship, Saturday, February 26 — Fairview: Lexi Cayko 2-4 0-0 4, Morgan Taylor 1-1 0-0 2, Masyn Klose 1-1 2-4 4, Morgan Klose 6-17 3-4 17, Brittany Schneider 0-0 0-0 0, Jordan Gifford 2-9 6-7 10, Tiffany Kittleson 6-8 2-2 14.

• • • The Spartans held an 11-10 lead with three minutes left in the first quarter of Monday’s challenge game against Saco-Whitewater, which tipped off at 7:02 p.m. By 7:13 p.m. they were behind 20-11 at the quarter break as the Panthers went on a 10-0 run — Davis with a 15-footer, Cox two treys and DePuydt a deuce. Scobey pulled within 22-16 on Simeniuk’s 3-point play but Saco-Whitewater, starting with Crowder’s 3-ball at 4:14, went on another run for a lead of 29-16 at the half, where the Panthers were 11-of-21 (.523) from the field, including a 4-of-6 performance from beyond the 3-point arc. The Spartans were 7-of-22 (.318). A 3-point field goal by

Henderson with 3:51 left in the game brought the Spartans within 40-33 but that’s as close as it was going to get as DePuydt converted a 3-point play 15 seconds later. DePuydt (11-15 FG, 4-4 FT for 26 points, 11 RBs and game-winner with 6.3 seconds left in consolation win...tourney MVP?) got it done on both ends of the court for Saco-Whitewater, hitting 6-of-9 field goals and 6-of-8 free throws for 18 points and grabbing 16 rebounds, all defensive. The Spartans, just like in the championship, had more fouls (25-11) than the Panthers, leading to 20 more free throw attempts for the victors, who sank 17-of-28 (.607) while Scobey was 3-of-8. Another big stat, as was also the case in the title game, was the points off turnovers, which the Panthers owned 20-5.

Grapplers GoodIn Glasgow Meet The Scobey Small-Town AAU Wrestling Team had a very successful day during its second meet of the sea-son Saturday, Febraury 26, at the Glasgow Invitational held at the Glasgow Civic Center. Twelve of the 15 Scobey youngsters represented the community in outstanding fashion by placing in the top three against competi-tion from Havre, Chinook, Malta, Glasgow, Wolf Point, Poplar, Sidney, Plentywood, Williston and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Placing were: Aiden Baros, Tot Division, 36 pounds, first place; Chance Smith, Tot 56.7, first; Brax-ton Wolfe, Tot 40, first; Cameron Anderberg, Tot 42, third; Payton Leibrand, Bantam 68, first; J.P. Braut, Bantam 44, second; Ender Young, Bantam 42.5, third; Rio Booth, Bantam 66, fifth; Parker Cromwell, Midget 63, first; Wyatt Welchlin, Midget 107, first; Martin Farver, Midget 78, second; Prewitt Leibrand, Midg-et 107, second; Walker Welchlin, Midget 81, third; Anders Knudsen, Novice 85, fourth; Dylan Meyers, Novice 73, fifth. The Scobey Small-Town grapplers kicked off their 2011 season at the Baker In-vitational February 19 with about 350 kids competing. Seven Scobey boys competed: Meyers, Novice division, 75 pounds, third; Austyn Fishell, Novice 75, fifth; Farver, Midget 80, third; Prewitt Leibrand, Midget 112, second; Pay-ton Leibrand, Bantam 70, first; Aiden Fishell, Bantam 60, fourth; Baros, Tot 40, fourth.

Next action for the Scobey Small-Town Wres-tlers is Saturday, March 5, in Williston at the high school starting at 9 a.m. MDT (if in Sidney for the East C Di-visional Boys’ Basketball on Saturday and have time to kill until evening games head 40 miles northeast to Williston for some wrestling action).

Rep. KnudsenReportsby Rep. Austin Knudsen, HD 36

The 62nd Montana Leg-islature reached its official halfway mark on February 24th. Known as ‘transmittal,’ at this point most bills from each chamber (House or Sen-ate) have to be voted on and sent to the other chamber for action (kill or pass on to the Governor). The House of Represen-tatives has passed several pro-business tort reform bills, as well as a number of health-care bills aimed at putting Montana in charge of our healthcare decisions, not the federal government. One of the pieces of legislation I am most proud of is HB 334, which is a comprehensive reform of Montana’s abysmal worker’s compensation system. Mon-tana currently ranks last in the nation for worker’s com-pensation rates. We have the highest work comp rates in the country by a long shot, and we would have to reduce rates by more than twenty percent just to reach 49th. A forty percent rate cut puts us right in the national average for rates. Our bloated work comp system is one of the ma-jor roadblocks to business growth in Montana. A local Sidney oilfield company testi-fied that his company would save more than a million dollars in work comp just by moving across the state line to Williston. If signed into law, HB 334 will reduce Montana work comp rates and make us more business friendly, and I am a proud co-sponsor of this important bill. Another piece of leg-islation that I’m carrying in the House is SB 317, a comprehensive reform of Montana’s environmental laws. This bill passed out of the Senate, and must now be vetted in the House before it goes to the Governor’s desk. SB 317 continues protecting our environment, while also recognizing that Montanan’s have the constitutional right to pursue economic prosper-ity by developing private property. SB 317 will prevent frivolous lawsuits from en-vironmentalist groups suing to block responsible natural resource development in Montana. While this isn’t an issue in northeast Montana (yet), it is a major impediment to resource development in the rest of the state. If the Bak-ken oilfield keeps developing in our area, it is only a matter of time these groups start fil-ing lawsuits to stop Montana oil drilling because they will claim it contributes to global warming. This would be dev-astating to our local and state economies, which is why I think it is so important that our environmental laws be reformed now. As always, I appreciate communication and input from home. I can be contacted via email at austinforhouse@yahoo.com, ph. (406) 539-4268, or mail: MT House of Representatives, P.O.

Fumigation TrainingsScheduled for March— Fumigation Trainings are scheduled for Private and Commercial Pesticide Appli-cators. New federal rules for applying certain fumigants will be explained in one-day workshops to be held March 15 thru 17 in Helena, Billings and Miles City. Speakers from MSU Extension, the MT Dept. of Agriculture and Degesch America will explain the new rules and how to write fumigant management plans for rodent and structural fumigations. Attendees will also practice writing fumigant management plans. The meetings will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. each day and will be held March 15 at the Red Lion Co-lonial Inn in Helena; March 16 at the Bighorn Resort in

Billings; and March 17 at the Eagles Club in Miles City. The Environmental Pro-tection Agency revised its fumigation rules after young children in Utah, South Da-kota and Texas died from accidentally breathing the fumes of aluminum phosphi-de fumigants. A commercial applicator contracted to kill rodents apparently applied the pesticide too close to the children’s homes. New EPA regulations completely ban the use of aluminum or magnesium fu-migants around all residential areas, which include houses, apartment buildings, nursing homes, schools, day cares and hospitals. They can still be ap-plied around non-residential buildings, but the buffer zone has increased from 15 to 100 feet. People who attend the workshop can receive five private applicator recerti-fication credits, as well as six commercial/government applicator recertification credits. Regis te r by March 10th. Contact Cecil Tharp at ctharp@montana.edu or (406) 994-5067. For more information go to www.pesticides.montana.edu and select ‘News! Fumigation Programs from March 15th to March 17th.’

Dr. Sawdey WithA Word AboutLifeline Screening Over the last month IhavehadmanyrequeststoexplaintheLifelineScreen-ingthatiscomingtoScobeyin mid-March.

Further, Inotice that the Lifeline willdoabonedensitystudy intheheeltoevaluateforos-teoporosis.Thesearewhatare considered ‘screen-ing tests’.

Opheim SchoolLooking Into 4-Day Schedule On Wednesday, February 16, Ed Ray, Superintendent of School in Opheim intro-duced the idea of a 4-day school week, to the district board. During the discussion that followed, the school board directed him to get the word out and solicit the thoughts of the community. A few years ago the state changed the requirements of the school year from 180 student days to 1080 student hours. This change allows local schools a great deal of freedom in setting up their school’s calendar. This is not a new con-cept and it’s a concept that may not work for everyone, but Montana currently has about 20 schools operat-ing on 4-day school weeks. Colorado and South Dakota have had a 4-day school week for years. Saco is currently run-ning a 4-day week and from reports from their superintendent, an ele-mentary teacher and a few of the students that Mr. Ray spoke with - they love it. Hinsdale and Nashua are currently considering adopting a 4-day week. There are always pro’s and con’s to any change, but what Mr. Ray likes best is the fact that they can al-ways go back if it doesn’t have positive results. The calendar can be con-structed to have the same start and end dates that they had this year. A typical week would run Monday through Thursday. The students, who now start class at 8:30, would start at 8:15 and run twenty-two minutes longer, dismissing at 3:35. The main purpose for a 4-day week is that student attendance is improved. With students leaving for various activities such as sports, music, FFA, etc., the school day gets interrupted and the teachers have a diffi-cult time advancing instruc-tion. If those absences, when possible, were planned for a Friday, no instruction would

be missed. And, if a school activity, requiring students be absent, was planned for a Monday, the week’s schedule could be slid to run Tuesday to Friday. Mr. Ray pointed out that there are pro’s and con’s. The instructional day is lengthened by 37 minutes which may be felt more by the younger students than by the older students. The amount of teacher / student contact time would be the same (if not more) but over four days instead of five. Buses would be driven about 20% less-saving on gas, wear and tear, and main-tenance. Teachers that com-mute long distances would also save in a similar fash-ion. Those that don’t travel would enjoy a shorter work week which, it has been re-ported, improves morale. And as we compete to hire teachers needed to replace those that retire - a shorter work week may be an incen-tive to come to Opheim. There are a great many points that need to be dis-cussed.” Mr. Ray has sched-uled a meeting to discuss the 4-day week on Thurs-day, March 10, at 6:30 in the home economics room. Everyone is urged to at-tend. —Janet Bailey, rpt.

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2011 DANIELS COUNTY LEADER, Scobey, Montana 59263 PAGE ELEVEN

Items taken from weekly issues 75 years ago, from the Daniels County Leader, est. 1922 (continuation of the Scobey Sentinel, est. 1912).

YearsAgo75

Job Seekers MustRe-register— Everyone in Daniels County who is actively seeking employment, should re-register with the National re-employment Service be-fore March 15. If roads are in such shape that applicants can not get to Scobey, they may register by mail by simply addressing a letter or postcard to the Employment office in Scobey and their names will be placed on the employment list.

30 Tons Coal of Coal— Friday morning last week snow plows finally cleaned the road to the Dick-man Coal Mine near White-tail and by Saturday night 30 tons of coals had been hauled from there.

Farm Income Gains— Montana farmers reapeda cash income of $96,438,000 in 1935. This figure includes rental and benefit payments under the agriculture adjust-ment act. A 19% increase from 1934, this figure is nearly double that in 1932. Wheat held state-wide first place in cash income, fol-lowed closely by cattle.

Chicken Hawks RemovedFrom FFA Contest— The Scobey Chapter of the FFA has decided to take the chicken hawk from the list of “enemies” to be killed in the contest now in progress. Reason is that it is only one type of hawk here that bothers chickens and all hawks are of a benefit to farmers with a diet consist-ing 90% from insects and rodents.

School Costs Up — According to Montana Taxpayers Association, Montana public schools spent a million dollars more in the 1934-35 term than in the previous year and had 3,257 fewer students.

Amateurs Perform— An amateur hour spon-sored at the Catholic hall by the Catholic study club saw many of Scobey’s talented young people compete be-fore a packed house. The program was under the su-pervision of Father Conaty. Dorothy Berry won first prize with a tap dance; Mar-garet Rhodes won second with a vocal solo and Ver-non Nelson was third with a baritone solo.

R-Y Road Being Opened— The R-Y has been plowed south of Flaxville as far as the Frederick School. After completing the R-Y, plans are to open the east road as far as Tony Linder’s.

Taken to Prison— Sheriff Henry Lowe of Roosevelt County took Kir-by Lindquist, a transient, and Wayne Nefzger, a local boy, to Deer Lodge to begin five year sentences for attempted robbery. They had entered a building on Wolf Point’s Main street and attempted to hold up 9 or 10 men at 1:30 Friday morning. A gun in the hand of Nefzger fired, wounding Reid Taylor.

No Funds for Road West; Some to be Oiled— It appears there will be no funds for the proposed farm to market road west from Scobey, although a ten-tative survey may be made. Highways from both Scobey and Whitetail to the Canadian border are expect-ed to be oiled this summer. The latest session of the Highway Commission re-sulted in the largest letting of contracts in the state’s history.

Death— Mrs. O. W. Jay, pioneer resident of the Flaxville community passed away at the clinic Hospital Wednes-day. Diabetes was the cause

of death and she had been seriously ill for some time. Born Ada Rush, she was married to O. W. Jay in 1909 in Iowa and they came Mon-tana in 1912, first to Medi-cine Lake and then to Flax-ville. He died a year ago. It is expected that she will be buried beside her husband at the Flaxville Cemetery.

Locals— MORE than 30 were present at the Scobey Lu-theran Mens Club’s monthly meeting Monday evening. MRS. John Lapke of Ma-doc went to Scobey Monday and returned Tuesday. MISS Mae Lapke is now employed at Reiner’s Bak-ery. MRS. Earl Otto and Mrs. Walt Wade entertained friends with a bridge party at the Wade restaurant in Flaxville. FRANK Hewett is around again after being confined to bed last week. JAMES Gilbertson, who has been at CCC camp, is in hospital with acute rheumat-ic fever. GRAVELING of the road north of Peerless will be resumed Wednesday. INEZ Feltis and Clifford Noel are sick at the school dorm this week. WILLIE Spear was called home because of the illness of his father and his brother, Donald. OSCAR Grendal’s friends had a birthday party for him at the Odd Fellows Hall in Whitetail. FLOYD Williams is now working for Juy Robertson. FIVE BIRTHS: to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Norman a girl March 4; to Mr. and Mrs. R. V. McIntyre a boy, March 2; to Dr. and Mrs. R. R. Jones a daughter, Marcia Irene, Feb. 29; to Mr. and Mrs. El-lie Gaines, a son, Feb. 28; to Mr. and Mrs. Ray Gibney a son, Patrick Raymond, March 3.

Beulah Edland1917 - 2011

Beulah L. Edland (93) died February 28, 2011 at Daniels Memorial Nursing Home in Scobey. Services are this Saturday, March 5 at 2:00 p.m. at the Unit-ed Methodist Church in Scobey. Beulah was born April 2, 1917 to Herbert and Ada Anderson on the fam-ily farm at East Poplar, Saskatchewan, Canada. She grew up with her three brothers and thee sisters on the farm, having great fun skiing with homemade skies her dad made and playing on a gymnasium he built. Education was always important to Beulah and she would have gone to “Nor-mal School” after graduat-ing from high school, but her dad didn’t have $100 needed for it. Instead Beu-lah came down to Scobey to care for the Conboy’s son and while working there met her future husband, Lloyd. They were married July 28, 1941 in Glendive, Montana while she was working on a dude ranch near Terry. They rented a house in Scobey and Lloyd farmed near Peerless. In 1942 Lloyd enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Camp Hahn, California. Beulah followed shortly after, tak-ing the train. She found work at a tuna factory and

Consolidated Aircraft as one of the “Rosie the Riveters”. They continued to live in California until Lloyd was sent overseas to Germany in 1944. After the war they moved a house from the farm to Scobey and Beulah lived there until entering the nurs-ing home in August 2010. Being very conservative, Beulah was a talented seam-stress, taught by her mother, sewing many of her clothes and her daughters clothes as they were growing up. She worked at Kitzenberg’s Clothing Store after her daughters started school. Beulah was instru-mental in the beginning of the operation of Daniels-Sheridan Federal Credit Union and was the man-ager for 26 years, retiring in 1985. She enjoyed play-ing in a bridge club for 25 years, and continued play-ing even after entering the nursing home. A highlight of her life was traveling, including many states, Mexico and Europe. She will be remem-bered as a small person with a big spirit. Beulah is survived by her two daughters, Linda (Gene) Lemke of Bonita Springs, Florida and Cheryl (Myron) Halverson of Scobey, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and, one sister, Delores (Elvin) Dahl of Minot, North Dakota.She was preceded in death by her husband (Dec. 30, 1976), parents, three broth-ers and two sisters.
