The University of Montana Western Foundation has announced that over $2.2 million has been secured, roughly half of the goal for a new Sports & Activities Complex on the UMW campus. “We are so excited to share this update with the community and grateful for the generosity of the Erb family that provided the momentum to get the project started,” said Montana Western Foundation Director, Roxanne Engellant. Once the full amount of funds for the Complex has been raised, which is estimated to cost $4 – 5 million, construction is planned to take place on a parcel of land that was pledged in 2019 from John and Phyllis Erb adjacent to campus near the Bulldog Athletics and Recreation Center. The Complex will be funded through private support and is one part of a larger fundraising effort to also support scholarships and academic initiatives for UMW. “We are excited to announce our progress, and to be a step closer to making our goals a reality. This Complex will positively impact the student-life experience for all current and future Bulldogs at Montana Western,” said UMW Director of Athletics, Michael Feuling. Since the 1980’s, the UMW Bulldogs and Dillon Beavers have shared the use of Vigilante Field. Because Vigilante Field requires several upgrades and has limited space for expansion, the new Complex would allow for athletics and other events to be held on the UMW campus. Currently, Montana Western is the only University in the state that offers an athletics program that does not have an on-campus complex. “This is an exciting project for the University of Montana Western and one that I believe will be transformative for the student experience. It is my hope that this new complex will not only be a great asset for the university but also for the community,” said Chancellor Michael Reid. “We are excited to move forward with this initiative and anxious to start construction once the funds are fully raised. We also want to extend a continued invitation to the high school, or other organizations, to partner with us on this project as well.” In addition to community partnerships, the Associated Students of the University of Montana Western (ASUMW), have recently announced their commitment to support the project financially, pending approval from the Board of Regents during the May 2022 meeting. “The students at Montana Western want to help contribute to this project in order to support an increase in on-campus activities, create more opportunities for the community to connect with the campus, and to build a legacy for future students,” said ASUMW President, Jacob Kunze. The University will now move into the public phase of the Sports & Activities Complex fundraising campaign to secure the balance needed to begin construction.

The Montana Department of Commerce announced today Montana’s first two Commercial Property Assessed Capital Enhancement (C-PACE) districts. Through Commerce’s Montana Facility Finance Authority (MFFA), commercial building owners in Park County and Missoula County will be able to utilize C-PACE financing for energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy investments for local businesses. “This is the first step for businesses to perform energy efficiency and water consumption upgrades to existing buildings or for new construction,” Commerce Director Scott Osterman said. “It’s a great step for Montana businesses, counties, and the state as a whole,” Osterman added. Montana C-PACE brings value to Montana commercial building owners by improving their bottom line. The program can cover up to 100 percent of eligible project costs and payments are repaid through a special property tax assessment with terms up to 20 years. As a result, projects become cash positive from day one. C-PACE is a fit for most industries including farms, commercial office buildings, nonprofit organizations (including places of worship), and multi-tenant buildings. Common investments include solar panels, HVAC systems, lighting, motors, and more. “These are the first districts but certainly not the last,” said MFFA Executive Director Adam Gill. “The MFFA is in talks with more than 16 other counties to establish C-PACE districts, which would mean commercial property owners within the county would be eligible for C-PACE financing,” Gill added. Businesses within these C-PACE districts can apply for and receive energy efficiency upgrades on their buildings at preferable rates and terms with the added advantage of businesses saving money on wasted energy costs.

Hunter and Bowhunter Education classes will be offered in several locations throughout southwest Montana this year. Many of these classes have been scheduled and will soon be opened for registration. Hunter and Bowhunter Education classes are taught by skilled volunteer instructors and offer hands-on learning experiences, mentoring opportunities and the ability for students to ask questions of experienced hunters. Students learn how to handle firearms and archery equipment safely, basic survival skills, hunting ethics, wildlife management, game identification, landowner-hunter relations, and Montana hunting laws and regulations. Montana law requires that anyone born after Jan. 1, 1985, complete a Hunter Education class or qualify as a youth apprentice hunter before purchasing a Montana hunting license. All first-time bowhunters must complete a Bowhunter Education course or show proof of a prior year’s archery license from another state or province. All classes are free, and students must be at least 10 years old to take a class. As class schedules are finalized, they will be posted online and opened for registration at fwp.mt.gov/hunt/education . The following courses have been scheduled in southwest Montana: Livingston: Bowhunter Education, starting Mar. 12 Twin Bridges: Hunter Education, starting Mar. 21 Twin Bridges: Bowhunter Education, starting April 4 Bozeman: Hunter Education, starting April 25 Butte: Hunter Education, starting April 25 Manhattan: Hunter Education, starting May 9 Manhattan: Hunter Education, starting July 18 Hunter or Bowhunter Education courses are also being planned in Three Forks, Ennis, West Yellowstone and Dillon. Starting dates for these classes will be announced as they are finalized. To see what classes are happening near you or to sign up for a class, check online periodically by visiting fwp.mt.gov/hunt/education . The webpage will be updated as more classes are scheduled.

Several watercraft inspection stations begin operation in early March to check snowbird boat traffic returning from mussel positive areas such as Lake Mead and Havasu. Boat owners coming to Montana must have their vessel inspected for aquatic invasive species at a Montana watercraft inspection station prior to launch. The stations that open in early March include those near Dillon, Anaconda and Ravalli. FWP works closely with partners for station operation and cotracts with the Beaverhead Conservation District for operation of the Dillon station and CSKT for operation of the Ravalli station. Inspections will also be available at the FWP Region 1 office in Kalispell in March. This year, watercraft inspection restrictions at Tiber Reservoir are being evaluated for removal following no further detections of invasive mussels. During 2021, crews conducted 123,000 inspections and intercepted 61 mussel-fouled boats intercepted, which was a record number for the state. FWP warden staff, who provided support at inspection stations to prevent drive-bys, issued 137 citations and 182 written warnings. Watercraft inspection stations are Montana’s first line of defense to prevent the movement of aquatic invasive species (AIS) which can have devastating impacts on Montana waterways. Boat owners should ensure their watercraft, trailers and gear are clean, drained and dry before transporting and need to be aware of Montana’s inspection rules: All watercraft coming into Montana from out of state must be inspected prior to launching. All watercraft traveling west across the Continental Divide into the Columbia River Basin must be inspected prior to launching. Anyone transporting watercraft must stop at all open watercraft inspection stations they encounter. And all boaters are reminded to always clean drain and dry their boats and gear to help prevent the spread of AIS.

Public Health is transitioning away from universal contact tracing and case investigations. Information shared from Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (MDPHHS) with local public health departments stated the shift is based on current circumstances and epidemiology of COVID-19 in Montana and the United States. The information based on a statement released in January by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (astho) and Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). The rationale behind the transition is based on several scientific factors that reduce the utility and feasibility of universal case investigation and contact tracing for each COVID-19 case. These factors include: · the large number of asymptomatic and mild cases resulting from changes in the virus and widespread vaccination · many infections are never identified by public health because of the large number of asymptomatic and mild cases in people who do not get tested · the increasing use of home COVID tests which many don’t get reported to Public Health · the shorter incubation period of the Omicron variant · the highest risk of transmission to others occurring prior to symptom onset and during the first few days of symptomatic illness However, it is still important for epidemiology to obtain case information and one strategy being implemented throughout the state is the use of a survey-based system. JotForm is a free, HIPAA compliant forum that can be individualized for each county and sent to identified cases (positive lab reports) using a text messaging service, EZ Texting. Many health departments have already implemented this system and found that it is user-friendly. Beaverhead County Public Health will begin initiating this process the first week of March. People who test positive using a home test, are strongly urged to report their positive results to MDPHHS by going to the website, hometest.mt.gov. People who obtain their home tests through public health are provided an instruction sheet on what to do if they test positive. On that sheet, there is a QR code that can be scanned to access the website. The survey is quick and easy. Public Health will continue contacting by phone, prioritized populations such as children 17 and younger, folks 65 and older, hospital staff/patients, long-term care and assisted living facilities. Public health has received a large number of FREE COVID home tests. We will distribute the tests throughout the county for easier access to the rural community. These tests will be available at public health and within the next two weeks at the following locations. · Dell Mercantile · Ralph’s Exxon in Lima · City of Lima · Grasshopper Inn in Polaris · Polaris Post Office · Jackson Hot Springs · Goose N Bear in Wisdom · Wise River Mercantile · Dewey Bar

The 2022 license year opens March 1, which means that is the day you can buy new hunting and fishing licenses and begin applying for permits and special licenses. The deadline to apply for deer and elk permits is April 1. Applications for most species – deer, elk, antelope, deer B, elk B, antelope B, moose, sheep, goat, bison, bear, turkey – can be made beginning March 1. This spring Fish, Wildlife & Parks will be launching the new MyFWP mobile app that will store and display licenses, permits, and digital carcass tags, known as E-Tags, which can be used in the field without cellular service. The new app will be released soon with more information on how to download and use it. To use the app, hunters and anglers will need a MyFWP account, which is a secure and convenient digital profile that stores licenses, permits and related information. To create a new account, visit fwp.mt.gov . Users need to make sure to link their ALS number to the MyFWP account to ensure their hunting and fishing licenses are attached to their MyFWP account. Hunters will also still have the option to print copies of licenses they purchase online or at FWP offices. Also new for the 2022 license year: Hunters have the option to donate their drawing refund to the block management program. Bonus points can now only be purchased by applicants that are eligible to apply for licenses (bonus points can no longer be purchased by youth less than the age of 12). Preference points fee for nonresidents is now $100 instead of $50. A nonresident planning to hunt with an outfitter can purchase a second preference point for the Nonresident Combo drawing. Remember to have your outfitter information with you at the time you apply. Applicants purchasing a conservation license can now opt out of donating 25 cents of that fee to Search and Rescue. Hunters and anglers can buy licenses and apply for permits on the FWP website beginning at 5 a.m. on March 1; simply click on “Buy and Apply.” Most FWP offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. If people have questions, the FWP licensing call center will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from March 1 through April 1; after April 1, the hours will return to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The call center can be reached at 406-444-2950. Remember, if you’re applying for a special license or permit, you will need to have a valid email address.

Students from Montana Western’s TRIO program will participate in the 2022 National TRIO Day of Service on February 28 to express appreciation to the community for its support of TRIO programs. National TRIO Day is a day of celebration, reflection, and action around increased access to higher education for disadvantaged students. For more than 50 years, federal TRIO programs across the country have been providing valuable support services to help first-generation students and students from low-income families, veterans, and students with disabilities, enter and graduate from college. Today more than 1,000 colleges, universities, and community agencies host more than 2,800 TRIO projects that serve more than 800,000 young people and adults. TRIO serves students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. For millions of students from low-income families who strive to be the first in their families to attend and graduate from college, the seven federally funded programs that form TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) are making a world of difference. While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial hurdles to higher education, TRIO programs recognize the importance of overcoming all barriers to success. Maggie Lund, a junior Psychology major in the Montana Western TRIO program, says “I like the extra support I get, not just in academics, but in life in general as well.” Now in its 17th year, Montana Western’s TRIO SSS program currently helps 160 students work toward collegiate success. TRIO services at the University of Montana Western include: Tutoring Peer-to-Peer mentoring for first-year students Pre-semester Accelerator Program First-Year Program Personal and financial counseling Career counseling Assistance in applying to graduate school Specialized workshops Assistance in applying for financial aid “I appreciate that TRIO at UMW is a holistic program,” notes Dr. Laura Wright of the English Department. “It’s more than just providing academic advising in that it also includes personalized support and financial aid guidance. TRIO serves the whole student.” This Monday, February 28, TRIO Student Support Services will be holding a tabling event in the Lucy Carson Library from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. The university and area community is invited to stop by to meet the inspiring students in the program, learn more about the services that TRIO SSS offers, and create a custom button to show their support. For more information, please contact TRIO Advisor, Michael Bartch: michael.bartch@umwestern.edu or 406-683-7315.

The BCHS Drama Club will be holding performances on Friday, March 4th at 7:00 P.M. and Saturday, March 5th at 3:00 & 7:00 P.M. for Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. According to thorntonwilder.com This timeless drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, has become an American classic with universal appeal. Thornton Wilder’s most frequently performed play, Our Town appeared on Broadway in 1938 to wide acclaim, and won the Pulitzer Prize. From the very beginning, Our Town has been produced throughout the world. Our Town explores the relationship between two young Grover’s Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage. When Emily looses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of Our Town –growing up, adulthood, and death–is fully realized. Wilder offers a couple of chairs on a bare stage as the backdrop for an exploration of the universal human experience. The simple story of a love affair is constantly rediscovered because it asks timeless questions about the meaning of love, life and death. In the final moments of the play, the recently deceased Emily is granted the opportunity to revisit one day in her life, only to discover that she never fully appreciated all she possessed until she lost it. “Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you,” she says as she takes her place among the dead. Cost is $2.00 for general admission and free to BCHS Students.

On Tuesday, February 22ⁿᵈ, the Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) announced that an animal from a Gallatin County ranch within Montana’s Designated Surveillance Area (DSA) was confirmed infected with brucellosis. The infected animal had a negative test in 2021 but tested as a ‘reactor’ during a voluntary herd test in January. Pathologists at the Montana Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory collected tissues from the animal post-mortem and sent the samples to the National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa where infection was confirmed by culture. The DOL quarantined the herd when the reactor was discovered and initiated an epidemiological investigation. DOL encourages voluntary herd testing to reduce the impact of brucellosis on Montana livestock producers. Annual testing reduces the spread of disease within a herd, should it become infected with brucellosis, by rapid disease detection. Regular testing can also reduce the impact on neighboring herds which DOL also quarantines until they can prove they are free of infection through herd testing. Epidemiological testing can be inconvenient and cause additional costs. “A voluntary annual herd test can be performed at a time when animals are already being worked such as fall pregnancy checking,” says State Veterinarian Marty Zaluski. “The ability to control the timing of a herd test minimizes disruption when testing is required as part of an epidemiological investigation.” Zaluski further praised Montana DSA producers for their high rate of compliance with brucellosis regulations. “A robust testing program not only benefits individual operations but protects our entire industry and our trading partners,” added Zaluski. Brucellosis is a bacterial disease that can infect humans, cattle, bison, and elk and can result in abortion or the birth of weak calves. The disease is primarily transmitted through contact with infected birth tissues and fluids. Past cases of brucellosis in livestock were a result of transmission from infected wild elk as determined by epidemiological investigation which involves testing of adjacent or contact herds and genetic fingerprinting (genotyping) of the cultured bacteria. The source of infection in the Gallatin County herd has yet to be determined. This is the 12th brucellosis affected herd found since the creation of the DSA in 2010. The Department previously reported an affected herd in Madison County in January 2022. The mission of the Montana Department of Livestock is to control and eradicate animal diseases, prevent the transmission of animal diseases to humans, and to protect the livestock industry from theft and predatory animals.
