UMW Press Release: University of Montana Western students Draylen Sawyer, Jonah Lindsey, and Kimberly Giannone have been selected to present at the 2023 Western Regional Honors Council (WRHC) Conference at the University of Montana's Davidson Honors College from March 30 – April 1, 2023. The WRHC is a professional organization of faculty, administrators, and students dedicated to the promotion and advancement of undergraduate honors education. The WRHC represents honors programs and honors colleges at institutions of higher learning across the 13-state Western Region through annual regional and national conferences. This year, three University of Montana Western Honors students were selected to present at the WRHC in Missoula. Draylen Sawyer’s presentation will focus on the history of Japanese American Internment Camps, Jonah Lindsey will be presenting “Subterranean Circuits: Undergraduate Field Testing of Electrical Resistivity Tomography,” and Kimberly Giannone will showcase her photography portfolio in “Sweat and Sagebrush, a Look Inside Ranching in Southwest Montana.” Giannone’s “Sweat and Sagebrush” will feature twelve framed photographic prints from her portfolio documenting the ranching community in Beaverhead County over the last three years. Her oral presentation on Friday, March 30, will highlight more of the photography from the project as well as the history of the ranching community in Beaverhead County and the possible future as the economics around ranching continue to change. Giannone grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and began working on “Sweat and Sagebrush” when she moved out west and started classes at Montana Western. “I have had the privilege to be exposed to and be a part of the tight knit, hardworking ranching community here in Southwest Montana. I am most proud that I have worked on this project by my own volition. ‘Sweat and Sagebrush’ came from a place of wanting to have a better understanding and it has continually progressed into attempting to provide a voice for the ranching community, to showcase the work, determination, and ingenuity that ranching requires and to let folks in the outside world know that it isn’t all cowboy clothes and the Yellowstone show. It’s real life,” she said. “Sweat and Sagebrush” will also be featured in the 2023 edition of Scribendi , a nonprofit annual print publication that publishes creative work from undergraduate honors students. Giannone competed with over 300 other submissions and passed a rigorous voting process to be published in the final production. Scribendi will host its release reception for the 2023 edition on March 30 during the WRHC conference. Giannone would like to thank all the professors she has had at Montana Western for their support during this project and the Sloan Family Foundation for the scholarship that allowed her to go back to college and pursue her goal of obtaining an undergraduate degree. She plans to graduate in the spring of 2026 with a degree in Environmental Sustainability and a minor in Fine Arts. “I sincerely believe that being able to attend college at the University of Montana Western and having the opportunity to connect with my professors on a personal level has helped this project to blossom in ways that I couldn’t have imagined. I’m grateful to be a UMW student and a member of the community,” she said. To find out more about the 2023 WRHC conference and to view the entire weekend of presentations, please visit https://www.umt.edu/honors-college/wrhc-conference/default.php .

Press Release Beaverhead County Sheriff Office: On 3/28/2023 1105 hours, The Beaverhead County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Fish and Game. They were floating the Big Hole River near Melrose and found a body .32 miles south of the Salmon Fly Campground. This is believed to be the body of Michael Fontz. Fontz was reported missing on December 12, 2022. On December 14, 2022 Fontz’s vehicle was found at the Maiden Rock Campground just North of Melrose. Fontz was not located with his vehicle. Beaverhead Search and Rescue was activated and they began a search for Fontz. It was believed that Fontz went into the river. Beaverhead County Search and Rescue had help from Ruby Valley Search and Rescue’s swift water rescue team and ground searchers from the Silver Bow Search and Rescue. This search carried on for several days with no luck. With the cold temperatures and dangerous ice conditions it was decided to suspend the search and periodically fly the area with drones. At 1138 hours the Beaverhead County Sheriff’s Office, Dillon Police Department and several Fish and Game Wardens were able to retrieve the body from the river. The body was then transported to the crime lab in Missoula for examination. I would like to thanks everyone involved with the search and recovery so that closer can be brought to the family and friends.

And it should be treasured. Rocky Mountain Framing & Memorabilia wants to help you sit back and enjoy those events. Everything from as simple as framing a cool rock you found on your last family vacation. Or the day you graduated college, while working full time, while also eating ramen full time. How about the instant you kissed your spouse at the altar? Or for the pros out there, the time your children and grandchildren threw you a surprise 50th anniversary party. Do you like stuff? How about cool pictures or items from your favorite celebrity? And if that isn’t the bees knees, the memorabilia is autographed and framed to perfection. Not only does Ron have a premade selection of celebrity items, but he is up to the task of helping you frame or shadow box any item. No, no, no! Mr. Carroll is no one-trick pony. With years of preserving his own stash of memorabilia, he is more than qualified to see your vision, follow you through the journey, and make its way to your home’s walls. Whether you just moved into your house or you’ve decided to redecorate one room, nothing says spring like a good sprucing. Rocky Mountain Framing & Memorabilia is there to help you reimagine your space. Frame restoration, vintage Montana posters such as Bannack Days, and those hard to find autographed celebrity memorabilia. It is all one downtown Dillon visit away. ” Ron can also help provide a more economical framing solution with pre-made frames of all sizes for anyone who can’t afford or does not need a custom frame job. While not always possible, he strives for a 2-3 week turnaround time on most framing projects. Make sure to stop by 34 N. Idaho Street, Suite 3, right next to Southwestern Montana News and African Oasis on Saturday, April 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Not only will there be a ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce at 11 a.m., but you can enter a special drawing, as well as be eligible for door prizes. Light refreshments will be available as Ron, himself, shows you how easy the process is. He will demonstrate how to pick a frame and matte board from his samples, allowing you to see how personal and creative the end product is. Because if there’s one thing you need to know about Ron, it’s that he strives for a product he’s proud of.

Beaverhead County Sherriff Facebook page: On 3/28/2023 at 0713 hours, The Beaverhead County Sheriff’s Office, Dillon Police Department, and Montana Highway Patrol responded to a Sheriff’s vehicle crash on Ten Mile Road. Undersheriff Haggard was going East on Ten Mile Road and came around a blind corner where there were several vehicles stuck in the middle of the road. The road was covered in ice making it difficult for cars to travel. Undersheriff Haggard put his patrol rig into the bank to avoid hitting several pedestrians who were also standing on the road. The patrol vehicle flipped onto its side causing extensive damage to the vehicle. Undersheriff Haggard was banged up a little but not injured. Ten Mile road was closed for about an hour while the scene was cleared. Montana Highway Patrol is investigating the accident. David Wendt Sheriff, Beaverhead County

Submitted by Mel Rice: Public Relations The Beaverhead Search and Rescue was called out Sunday, March 26th, at 5:17 PM to help two individuals, a 54 year old male, a female companion, and their dog. They had driven to the Bannack MT area where they unloaded a side by side with tracks and drove up the Reservoir Creek road. Along their way the vehicle became stuck in a snow bank and the two individuals couldn’t get it out so began walking back down the road. They called 911 and requested assistance. At that time both persons were mobile. Search and Rescue deployed 6 teams to the area between 5:45 PM and 7:45 PM. Teams were sent to different roads in the area to make sure the individuals weren’t missed. At 8:34 PM the female of the party was picked up. She was in good shape but indicated the male had fallen and was hurt. The hasty team continued up the Reservoir Cr. Rd and found the male individual on his feet walking slowly. The rescue team returned him to his companion and they were taken back to their truck. At that time all S&R members returned to Dillon and the stuck party returned home. Search teams arrived back at the SAR building around 9:45 PM. This involved 14 members and approximately 48 total man hours. S&R members involved in this rescue were: Alan Holt, Tommy Goins, Trent Cottom, Cody Schnee, Charles Wiedow, Kolby Malesich, Dusty Crowe, Clint Rouse, Mel Rice, Wade Bush, Chuck Maddox, Mick Paffhausen, Jake Peterson, and Mark Smith. Remember only the calendar says it spring. There is a lot of snow in the mountains and avalanche dangers are still very high. Take care, be prepared, and have fun. Your Beaverhead Search and Rescue; “In the Business of Saving Lives”.

Hailey Briggs SWMT News: The Bank of Commerce Performing Arts Series has been a highlight of this community for years, and the much anticipated production of Puffs or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic was no exception. The small auditorium on the University of Montana Western campus was the place to be on opening night, Friday, March 24. With only a handful of empty seats, those performing had to feel the pressure to deliver. And deliver, did they! Upon entering the foyer of the auditorium, you were greeted by the cast and crew, already in-character. The concession stand provided some refreshments for the performance, as well as a bowl to place a slip of paper with your favorite flavor. (Although there were moments of crowd participation, don’t fear if you’re on the shyer side. The cast was good at integrating both spontaneity, as well as sticking to a fun, endearing script that had the crowd laughing nonstop.) Although we’ve been awe-inspired by the set from plays of the past, never before has it been more apparent and impressive how the cast and crew utilized this smaller space to tell such a large story. Every nook and cranny were utilized in this production, thrusting the audience into a very immersive experience. Whether you’re a true Potterhead, a casual viewer, or have never partaken of the original stories, there is something for you. This off Broadway script written by Matt Cox is so unique and witty that it envelops you on a journey through the seven school years. The familiarity of how real teenagers would view the experience of attending a wizard school touched on the basic humanity that might not have been relatable with the original wizard franchise. It was refreshing to see this other perspective, while being treated to easter eggs Harry Potter fans didn’t see coming. Usually with lengthier plays like this, there are one or two breakthrough stars. However, this production illuminated the power of a phenomenal ensemble cast. No one character or actor stood out from the rest, as they were all very memorable and held their own on stage. The talent really shone through with the plethora of characters, as well as the different roles for each actor. One might think that would get confusing, but the little nuances and quarks of the differing characters really helped move the storyline forward without any distractions. The story and the performance, while entertainingly hilarious, had a lot of heart when all was said and done. The message of unlikely heroes rising to the occasion bridges the gap between reality and fantasy, and the narrator’s guided messages throughout the entirety of the play really catapulted this performance into something that will live in your mind long after you leave. So, if you’re looking for a fun-filled few hours, there’s no better option than Puffs, showing now through April 2 at the small auditorium on UMW campus. Showtimes are Wednesday-Saturday with 7:30 pm shows, as well as a matinee on Sunday at 2:30 pm. You won’t be sorry!

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is accepting applications from landowners who are interested in participating in the 2023 Block Management Program. Block Management is a cooperative effort between landowners and FWP to help manage wildlife and public hunting activities on enrolled lands. Through the Block Management program, landowners and FWP enter into voluntary agreements that determine how hunting will be conducted on the landowner’s property. Items such as permission requirements, times when permission will be granted, hunting opportunities provided and vehicle use are a few examples of what is covered in an agreement. Block Management offers various benefits to landowners enrolled in the program. These benefits include assistance of FWP staff to help monitor hunting activities, compensation to help offset impacts associated with allowing public hunting, wildlife management, a free subscription to Montana Outdoors and a complimentary, non-transferable sportsman or big game combination (non-resident) license. Landowners do not relinquish any rights by enrolling and are covered by Montana’s recreational liability statute as well as livestock loss reimbursement, both of which are extended to landowners who allow access at no charge. For more information or to receive an application packet, interested landowners can contact their local biologist, warden or FWP regional access manager or contact the Parks and Outdoor Recreation Division main office at 406-444-3750 or email LndSportRelations@mt.gov .
