ROUNDUP, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2015 3A

By Jason Brothen “This is a special coop-

erative; you will like it here.” Those were the words of Don

April 2013. Now in April 2015, I know exactly what Don was saying to me.

My wife, two kids, a dog and I moved to Sidney in 2013. We are from northwestern North Dakota, and even though we were not too far from Sidney,

when we moved to Sidney. The opportunities for my

kids are great and the communi-ty has been very warm and wel-coming. I have many hobbies to keep myself busy in my spare time. I am an avid sports fan, and I love to play golf. I enjoy spending time with my family at sporting events, movies and also attending events around our region.

I have also taken the op-portunity to get involved in the community. I currently serve as a Director for the Richland County Boys and Girls Club, I am a member of the Kiwanis Club, and I was recently elected to the Richland County Eco-nomic Development Board.

Along with these civic du-ties, I like to take the opportunity to teach our young people about the cooperative and what it means to them now and in the future. I enjoy volunteering at the schools to educate the students, who are the members of tomorrow, about the cooper-ative and how electricity works in their lives.

To give everyone a little background on my work life, I have been an electric coopera-

tive employee my whole career, which started as a part-time position in 1995, and turned into a full-time position in 1997. Over the past 18 years, I have worked my way through the ranks. Over those years, I had the unique opportunity to work in many areas of the cooper-

experience to work beside nu-merous cooperative employees and for thousands of excellent members.

Now, I start another chap-ter in my cooperative career with Lower Yellowstone Rural Electric Cooperative (LYREC), as general manager. Over the past two years, I have been working with a great group of employees. I see a bright future for everyone involved with the cooperative. I have also been fortunate to work with and meet many of our members from one end of our system to the other.

LYREC has a rich, strong history of being a stable busi-ness in the communities and counties we serve. I want to continue the history and also expand on it. I feel we can take this a step further by expanding on how we communicate with our members. With the media explosion in the world today, the cooperative has many new and instant ways to get information to our members about outages, products, programs we offer and cooperative news. I feel this is the next step in connecting to our membership, but we cannot lose sight of maintaining afford-able, reliable power.

I feel we have to keep looking at the operational future of the cooperative and under-

stand that we are growing into a cooperative where members no longer remember a world without electricity and we need to keep that in mind when plan-ning our system.

-

of good planning and deci-sion-making by Don Prevost, his staff and the board of di-rectors over many years. Even though faces are changing at the cooperative, the path of stability will continue for the cooperative.

I also see cooperatives in the middle of a changing envi-ronment. Our cooperative will not be immune to these chang-es. We will have to stay ahead of the issues, and communicate the best course of action for the cooperative members.

My family and I have en-joyed the opportunities that Sidney has brought to us. I am happy to be part of the cooper-ative family and look forward to my future with Lower Yellow-stone Electric Cooperative. If any member has questions, please feel free to stop in and visit with me.

When parents wonder how they can talk to their kids or teens about underage drinking, don’t worry! MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driv-ing) shares five steps that they can take.

1 - T h i n k o f t h i s a s COACHING! Parents need to teach this skill as any other skill. Share information and help your teen learn how to anticipate and handle any situation that may challenge them. Discuss choices, con-sequences and monitor their behavior. Cheer them onto making smart and healthy choices. This can be the best support!

2-Get busy COMMUNI-CATING!! Begin talking early to your kids daily about feel-ings, expectations, and their stresses and successes. Be proactive in talking to your teens about underage drink-ing by sharing how alcohol is a drug and a dangerous sedative and the side effects it

has. Health changes and dan-gerous risks increase when young people drink. Drinking alcohol is also illegal if you are not 21, and let them know you want your teen to be safe and to respect the law. Have your teens plan ways to resist peer pressure.

3-KEEP TRACK of your teen!!! Know what they are do-ing and with whom. Know their friends and those parents, making sure everyone under-stands expectations of each other. Try to agree on rules, limits and consequences. Monitor your teen’s interac-tions in person and online and give them positive feedback or let them know when they are not following your rules. Know their schedule and make sure they have your permission for activities and always enforce the consequences consistent-ly so there are no questions or feeling they can “get out of it”.

4-Show RESPECT and CARING!!!! Your teen will re-spond better to you in all situa-tions if you listen to their ideas

and concerns in a respectable manner. Explain that rules, limits, and consequences are all in place to protect them and to help them logically make smart choices. Take this time to remind them how much you love them and care about their well-being.

5-Be a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL!!!!! Your teen will be more receptive to your guid-ance if you lead by example and act responsibly. If you are being irresponsible with alco-hol, laws and driving, you can bet that they will also. Having a healthy respect for them and the laws will teach them to do the same.

If you need more infor-mation on how to talk to your teens regarding underage drinking, please contact Missy, Vicky or Melissa at 433-4097. We are also on Facebook with tips and information at Rich-land County STAND, Stan-d4youth, and Richland County Family Resource Center.

BOZEMAN, March 26, 2015 – State Director Anthony Preite today announced that USDA Rural Development Montana is seeking appli-cations for grants to support rural businesses and help create jobs.

-prise Grant (RBEG) and Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) programs. The new program, like its predecessors, is designed to assist the start-up or expansion of small and emerging private businesses and/or non-profits in rural communities.

RBDG grants can be used to acquire or develop land, buildings, plants and equipment; build or improve access roads, parking areas, utility extensions, and water and waste disposal facilities; provide technical assistance; establish revolving loan funds; and to support rural distance learning programs that provide educational or job training. There are no substantive programmatic or operational

changes to the RBEG and RBOG programs as a resultof this consolidation.

Grants made before theimplementation of the RBDG program will continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable RBOG and RBEGregulations in effect at the timethe grants were made.

TeamBILLINGS – For RMC

freshman Emily Schaff, a brief meeting with representatives from Special Olympics turned into a collaboration that has launched a number of new initiatives for students at RMC.

During this initial meeting, Schaff met Jami Williamson, the Region 2 Outreach Direc-tor for Special Olympics Mon-tana. Schaff expressed her interest in working with Special Olympics and providing op-portunities for RMC students. This initiated the planning of “Pledge Day for Spread the Word to End the Word.”

“Spread the Word to End -

R-Word Pledge Day for the Rocky community followed a week later on March 11, 2015. Schaff worked in collab-oration with Special Olympics

Special Olympics Mon-tana provided a large poster, where students, faculty, and staff could sign their name to make the pledge to not use the “R-Word” in a derogatory way. There was also an opportunity for students to sign up for the Yellowstone Valley Area Games for Special Olympics Montana, which are taking place April 24-25.

“For the next academic year, we are looking at recruit-ing individuals to volunteer at area events in addition to the

Area Games,” added Schaff. “We will also invite people to create teams to participate in the Polar Plunge, which is a fundraiser event for the local Special Olympics.” She also plans to make the Pledge Day for Spread the Word to End the Word Day an annual event at RMC.

Schaff is also working with Special Olympics Mon-tana to create an SO College on the RMC campus, which would provide opportunities for students and employees to volunteer and help plan future events for the Special Olympics.

As part of her 20th birth-day wish, Schaff also set up a GoFundMe page at http://www.gofundme.com/n9gz58. In lieu of collecting presents for her 20th birthday, Schaff asked for donations to be made, which she could pres-ent to the Special Olympics organization during the Pledge Day at RMC. Her goal was $304 (representing her birth-day March 4th). On March 11, Schaff was thrilled to give the Special Olympics program a check for $400 raised through her GoFundMe page.

Vice Chairman Cynthia Lummis (WY-At large) today ques-tioned BLM Director Neil Kornze on how the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between BLM and the states will operate.

“Who will approve well bore integrity issues? Will you approve those? Who will do the inspections? Will [states] be brought in? Who is going to be brought in to inspect that – [states] or you?” Rep. Lummis asked.

”Because the Bureau of Land Management manages such a scattered land pattern across the country, it’s very important to work efficiently with state regulators,” Kornze responded. “We can more or less cross-deputize state inspectors to do

that work.”Rep. Ryan Zinke (MT-At large) focused on the available

science and expertise in the BLM: “There seems to be a greater amount of expertise in the states. I am concerned about the science of what we’re doing and who is in the best position to make sure that what we’re doing is right…Who within the BLM staff has relevant, current experience in fracking?”

Zinke continued,“If you don’t have the modern expertise, are you asking for more people to do it? And why are we asking then for more people to do it when the states proba-bly have the better expertise? Are we making a solution to a problem that isn’t there?”

Kornze Faces Committee Scrutiny On Hydraulic Fracturing Rule

MISSOULA – Twenty students from the University of Montana’s School of Law are currently taking a 1,400-mile, five-day bus tour across Montana to see firsthand the various forms of energy devel-opment in the state.

The Energy Facilities Field Trip is a course designed to provide law students an on-the-ground experience of the energy developments about

which they study. They are accompanied by law school Interim Dean Greg Munro.

The trip will include a tour of the hydroelectric facility at Rainbow Dam in Great Falls, followed by a visit to the Spi-on Kop wind facility between Great Falls and Lewistown. The bus then will take the group to Sidney for a look at oil field facilities in the Bak-ken and to meet with city and county planners. That will be followed by a tour of PPL’s

generators in Colstrip and the Western Energy Company coal mine there. At the end of the week, students will see Northwestern Energy’s trans-mission control center in Butte, followed by a visit to the David Gates Generating Station in Anaconda.

At each energy location and during transit on the bus, lawyers who specialize in each form of energy will instruct the students in the laws that govern the permitting, devel-

opment, siting and operation of facilities involved.

“Our graduates will be representing energy devel-opers, landowners, feder-al and state regulators and environmental groups and will be state leaders making decisions about energy devel-opment,” Munro said. “In every case it will be important that they have had the experience of seeing the facilities and the communities where the facili-ties are located.”

The group will have over-night stays in Lewistown, Sidney, Miles City and Billings. The UM School of Law will host local lawyers at break-fasts with the students in Lew-istown on Tuesday, March 31; Sidney on Wednesday, April 1; and Miles City on Thursday, April 2. The Crowley Fleck Law Firm of Billings will host the students and local energy lawyers at a breakfast in Bill-ings on Friday, April 3.

Northwestern Energy,

PPL, Western Energy and the Crowley Fleck law firm have all collaborated with the school in allowing tours of the facilities and hosting meals during instruction at their locations.

“In addition to seeing the energy facilities, we are also excited our students get to experience the grand beauty and big sky of eastern Mon-tana and its communities,” said Munro.

Submitted by MT DPHHSCarroll College head football coach Mike Van Diest has

compiled impressive stats over the years. In over 16 years at the helm for the Fighting Saints, Van Diest has six NAIA National Championships and 186 wins.

But, outside football, there’s one particular statistic that really caught his attention.

“There are 500 new cases of colorectal cancer in Montana each year. And, it’s also the second leading cause of cancer-re-lated deaths in the U.S.,” Van Diest said. “These numbers really hit me hard.”

That’s why Van Diest is lending his voice to a new Depart-ment of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) public service campaign to encourage adults starting at age 50 and continuing to age 75 years to get screened for colorectal cancer. TV and print ads are now appearing in the Helena and Billings markets.

“If you’re 50 years and older, you need to get screened for colon cancer, and that means everyone,” he says in the TV spot. “Because we all want more game days and more cham-pionship days.”

He even sends a strong message to his current players. “Are you going to get screened when you turn 50?” Van Diest

asks one player, although one can tell it’s really not a question.“Yes coach!” the player responds enthusiastically.According to Lisa Troyer of the DPHHS Chronic Disease

Prevention and Health Promotion Bureau Cancer Control Pro-grams, colorectal cancer screening can save lives by detecting precancerous polyps that are then removed or by detecting cancer early when treatment is most effective. “We really can’t say it enough, early detection is the key,” Troyer said. “I strongly encourage Montanans to be diligent about taking time to get screened at age 50. If it’s found and treated early, the 5-year survival rate is about 90 percent.”

Unfortunately, Troyer also notes that colorectal cancer screening in Montana is low. In 2012, only 56 percent of Mon-tanans aged 50 years or older reported being up-to-date with a colorectal cancer screening.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and the Cancer Control Programs is hoping to bring attention to these low rates and encourage adults over 50 to speak to their doctor about getting screened.

DPHHS provides free colorectal cancer screening for age and income eligible Montana residents. Montana men and women can be

screened through this program for colorectal cancer and women can also receive breast and cervical cancer screenings.

Troyer said that people can decrease their risk of colorectal cancer by losing weight, adopting a healthy diet and increasing physical activity. “Our goal is to increase screening participa-tion,” she said. “There’s many more lives that could be saved by increasing screening rates, and by making lifestyle changes.”

The TV PSA can be viewed on the DPHHS YouTube site at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoRZtZJetvA

Spring burning season is here. Burning is a great way to clear dead vegetation and clean up. Before you light up this spring, take the necessary precautions to ensure your

burn does not become the next wildfire. Obtain a permit or contact local authorities, burn early in the day and check weather for afternoon or next day wind conditions. Be sure to have adequate equipment, assistance and water supply with you and always make sure the area is cold to the

touch before leaving. Check-ing the following day is also important as stumps or roots may be holding heat that could

of control call 911 immediately. This message is brought
