Scotties make the Eastern B sweep

The Scotty softball team has been on a rip-ntear, having not lost a game since April 14th to Class
A Glendive. Since that time theyve reeled off eight
straight victories to have an 11-3 overall record and a
perfect 8-0 conference record to wrap up the Eastern
B-C title, earning them the top seed when the divisional
tournament rolls around.

This past Friday the Scotties (who were on the road
because the Scotty Softball Slam had to be moved due to
rain) knocked off host Shepherd 8-1 and picked up an
equally impressive victory over Stillwater (Columbus)
11-2. On Saturday in Huntley Project they took care of
the host Red Devils 12-2 in five innings and completed
the sweep over Great Falls Central 14-5.
Add it up and they outscored their opponents a
blistering 45-10!

Our last chance to see the Scotties at home happens
this Thursday as they have a rematch with Havre. The
Scotties nipped the Blue Ponies 10-8 in their previous
meeting.
Here are the current softball standings for the
Eastern BC with only one conference game to play this
season (Cut Bank vs. Great Falls Central tomorrow
night):
Glasgow (8-0, 11-3)
Huntley Project (6-2, 8-4)
Conrad (5-3, 7-3)
Great Falls Central (4-3, 4-3)
Shepherd (4-4, 6-6)

Stillwater (4-4, 4-4)


Cut Bank (3-4, 6-5)
Colstrip (1-7, 1-7)
Shelby (0-8, 0-9)


April wound up the third wettest April on record
with 2.61 inches of rain which was 1.76 inches above
normal. It was only a hundredth of an inch from being
the second wettest April, according to the National
Weather Service in Glasgow.
Most of the moisture fell from a slow moving
storm from the 24th through 27th that brought 1.74
inches of moisture, some in the form of snow on the
26th when 1.7 inches fell. For the month, Glasgow
received 3.2 inches of snow which was 1.3 Above
normal.
The average temperature for April was 46.4
degrees which was 1.5 degrees warmer than normal.
The average high was 59.3 degrees with an average low
of 33.4 degrees.

Combined with this past February and March, it
was the warmest February-April period on record in
Glasgow with an average temperature of 39.6 degrees.
The warmest day of the month was the 22nd with a high
of 80 degrees. That was the first time the temperature
reached 80 degrees in Glasgow since October 10th of
last year.

The coldest reading for the month was 19 degrees
which occurred on the 11th.

The wind gusted to 30 mph or greater on seventeen
days, and in excess of 40 mph on seven of those days.
The peak wind was 48 mph on the 5th.
Looking ahead to May, average temperature is
55.1 degrees. Normal highs begin the month in the
mid 60s with lows in the upper 30s. By the end of the
month, normal highs are in the lower 70s with lows in

Tourists mean big bucks for Montana


The final 2015 nonresident visitor
numbers were released April 27 by the
Institute for Tourism and Recreation
Research at the University of Montana.
Researchers found the 2015 economic
contribution of 11.7 million nonresident
travelers to Montana was $3.7 billion.
These visitors directly supported
more than $3.1 billion of economic
activity and 46,000 Montana jobs and
indirectly supported an additional $2
billion of economic activity and over
16,000 more jobs.

Visitation was up 7 percent in 2015,
with 11.7 million travelers visiting the
state during the year, said Kara Grau, ITRR
assistant director of economic analysis.
Forty-four percent, or 5.2 million, of those
visitors were in the state during the third
quarter of July through September.
Forty-eight percent of spending by
travelers during 2015 occurred during
the third quarter, totaling over $1.7
billion, with travel groups spending an
average of $153.51 per day during those
summer months.

During the first and second quarters
While suturing a cut
on the hand of a 75 year
old rancher whose hand
was caught in the squeeze
gate while working cattle,
the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old
man. Eventually the topic
got around to Obama.

The old rancher said,
Well, ya know, Obama is a

of 2015, traveler groups spent an


average of $156.29 and $130.55 per day
respectively, and totaled $377 million
and $800 million. Fourth quarter group
spending averaged $156.04 per day,
totaling nearly $744 million. Overall,
nonresident travelers spent a total of $3.7
billion in Montana during 2015.
Though
total
spending
by
nonresident travelers was down 6 percent
from 2014, much of that reduction is due
to significantly lower fuel prices during
2015. A full 32 percent of travelers
expenditures during 2014 went toward
fuel. Much less of nonresidents daily
travel budget went toward fuel purchases
during 2015 just 20 percent, in fact.
Spending on fuel is generally the
largest expense for nonresidents traveling
in Montana, ITRR director Norma
Nickerson said. That was still the case
in 2015, but not to the extent that weve
seen in the past. Traveling through our
expansive state cost our visitors much
less last year, meaning they were able to
put that money toward other things and
other experiences while they were here.

Post Turtle.

Not being familiar with
the term, the doctor asked,
What is a post turtle?

The old rancher said,
Well, when you're driving
down a country road and
you come across a fence
post with a turtle balanced
on top, that's a post turtle.

The old rancher saw the

puzzled look on the doctor's


face so he continued to
explain. You know he didn't
get up there by himself; he
doesn't belong up there;
he doesn't know what to
do while he's up there; he's
elevated beyond his ability
to function; and you just
wonder what kind of idiot put
him up there to begin with.

DPHHS Offers Advice To Prevent Tick Bites

As Montanans look to enjoy the great


outdoors this spring and summer, Montana
Department of Public Health and Human
Services (DPHHS) and local public health
officials urge everyone to follow a few simple
steps to prevent tick bites and their illnesses:
Limit, repel, and inspect.
State public health officials receive an average
of eight tick-borne illness reports every year, the
most common being Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever,
Tularemia, and Colorado Tick Fever. The best defense
against tick-borne illnesses is by spraying your legs,
ankles, pants, socks, and shoes with insect repellent,
said DPHHS epidemiologist Christine Mulgrew.

Public Health experts emphasize a 3-step approach
to prevent tick bites:

LIMIT: Ticks live in wooded, brushy, or grassy areas
so walk in the center of trails and mow your property
where you and your pets spend time.

REPEL: Wear long, light-colored pants and socks
to spot ticks more easily and use insect repellents.
Repellents containing up to 30 percent DEET can be used
on the skin or clothing. Repellents with lower DEET

concentrations might need to be applied more


frequently. Repellents containing permethrin
can be used on clothing, but not on skin. One
application to pants, socks, and shoes may be
effective through several washings.
INSPECT: Check your skin carefully for
ticks after returning from outdoor activities
especially if you were in wooded, brushy, or grassy
areas. Throwing clothes into a drier on high for 10
minutes, even before washing, best does de-ticking
clothing. Remember to inspect children and animals
after an outing.
The most common symptoms of tick-borne
infections (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) usually
occur about five to 10 days following the tick bite and can
include fever and chills, aches and pains, rash, nausea,
vomiting, muscle pain, loss of appetite, and headache
varying degrees. Although easily treated with antibiotics,
these diseases can be difficult for physicians to diagnose.

As the disease progresses, symptoms may include
rash, abdominal pain, joint pain, and diarrhea. The
disease can be severe and most patients need to be
hospitalized. Early recognition and treatment of the
infection decreases the risk of serious complications.
See your doctor immediately if you have been
bitten by a tick and experience symptoms, Mulgrew
said. While anyone can be infected, children under 10
years of age are at highest risk.

If a tick is found and is attached, follow these steps
to safely remove the tick:
1. Use fine-tipped, pointy tweezers to grasp the tick
as close to the skins surface as possible.
2. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Dont twist
or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to
break off and remain in the skin. If this happens,
remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you
are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean
tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
3. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite
area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine
scrub, or soap and water.


DO NOT use folklore remedies such as painting
the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using a
hot match to make the tick detach from the skin. They
may even make things worse by stimulating the tick
to release more saliva or regurgitate gut contents and
increase the chances of transmitting disease.
