Time for FMDH Board to wake up

Now Dr. Mirich is leaving...About the time you get
comfortable with a health care provider they leave.

Several years ago one of our city councilmen made the
comment that instead of building/funding a big hospital/
clinic combination we should just buy a big plane to fly
everyone to Billings... At that time it was just a joke.

But if we keep losing our health care professionals to
other areas of the State/Country his statement takes on
veracity... Will this Hospital Board ever wake up?

0-4 Scotties headed to Eagle Country

Glasgow dropped its fourth football game of the

season to Big Timber this past Saturday. Played in
Lewistown, the Sheepherders took a 14-0 halftime lead
and that's how the final score wound up, showing that
the Scotties made some good halftime adjustments as
far as their defense is concerned.
They are on the road again this Friday to take on
undefeated Fairfield and possibly the state title contenders
no easy task! The Eagles have given up just 16 points,
blanking Libby 43-0, rolling Bolder 43-2, and beating up
Townsend last Friday 43-14.

On Friday, October 2nd is Scotty Homecoming
against Wolf Point. For those decorating or building
floats, the theme is "WIPE OUT THE WOLVES!"

A GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT!

THE HANGAR

Hwy 2 East
228-8280

by Bruce Auchly
All that smoke-in-the-nose, ashes-in-mouth is
past for the year. Or so we hope.

Yet even in the worst of it many of us had choices.
Some folks left Montana, others sought relief in air
conditioning at home or office or both.

Animals dont have those luxuries. Yes, birds can
fly and bears can burrow into a den, but fires in July
and August happen at the wrong time for migration
and hibernation.

First, lets slay a rumor. The rash of bear conflicts,
mostly black bears, this summer is not because smoke
from forest fires was forcing bears out of their mountain
redoubts and into towns. They are just farther afield
this year looking for food.

Starting in late summer, triggered by decreasing
daylight, bears enter a stage known as hyperphagia
where they eat for 20 hours a day or more, anticipating
winter hibernation. They will eat up to 20,000 calories
a day, putting on several pounds each day dont try
this at home.

To bulk up, they will search many miles for their
traditional foods, such as chokecherries and other wild
berries. However, this year the berry crop has been
spotty at best. Some areas are average, but many spots
in central Montana have few or no chokecherries,
currants or buffalo berries.

When traditional foods fail, bears dont stop eating.
They just keep traveling, searching for something else
to fill their bellies. Unfortunately that can be pet food
or pets, livestock feed or livestock, garbage, grease in
barbeques, most anything.

Thats why bears are turning up in areas they are
not usually found; it just happens to be a year of smoke.
Fire does affect animals, including fish, both in ways
good and bad.

As any wild land fire fighter will tell you, not all
fires are the same. Some creep along on the forest floor,
others burn extremely hot and race through timber.
Animals that can move quickly are temporarily
displaced by fires. Animals that cannot outrun flames
die. Think of young birds in a nest, or small mammals,
or reptiles and amphibians. Though a small mammal
with a burrow might survive a fast moving fire. Even
large animals, like deer and elk, can become confused,
trapped and suffocate.
In the longer term, fire can be a good thing,

bringing new succulent growth to the forest floor,

which benefits many animals and their predators. Dead
trees attacked by insects will attract woodpeckers and
other birds to the feast.

Fish are affected by fire, too. Autumn rains after
a hot, devastating fire that burns a forest down to the
subsurface can flood a stream with choking ash and
mud. Not good.

And not only can small stream temperatures rise
to uncomfortable levels for aquatic life from the fires
heat, the loss of canopy cover and riparian vegetation
will decrease overhanging habitat and increase solar
radiation. That may mean stream temperatures remain
seasonally elevated for years or decades after the fire.

Still, what fire taketh, fire giveth.

Fires free nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen
from terrestrial systems, transporting them into
streams and rivers. In this sense, wildfires may be
an important linking factor between terrestrial and
aquatic systems.

Forest fires and the accompanying smoke make us
cough, choke and curse. Then fall arrives and we move
on.
To fish and animals fires bring dire short-term
and beneficial long-term consequences.

Heading into its 35th year

The Valley County Combined Campaign is

celebrating its 35th year of giving generously with an
invitation to non-profit organizations to join the 20152016 campaign.
There is one opening available this year for a
rotating member position. Any Valley County nonprofit
organization interested in applying is required to have
their own 501 (c)3 nonprofit status and will not be
allowed to do any other soliciting for contributions
during the year they are a member of the campaign.
Any organization interested in applying for
the temporary position will be asked to give a brief
presentation about their organization, including what
specifically they will be designating their monies toward.

These presentations will be made to the Combined
Campaign board of directors at their regular meeting,
Tuesday, October 13, at 12:15 p.m. at the Womens
Resource Center.
Please contact Angie Page at 367-5235 or angie.
page@gmail.com with any questions your organization
may have and to schedule your presentation for the
October 13 meeting.
The Valley County Combined Campaign consists
of six permanent non-profit organizations and one
temporary position from the Valley County community.
The VCCC was formed in 1982 so that community
members and businesses would only be contacted once
during the year for donations.

The 2015-2016 campaign will take place from April
23-May 7, 2016. The generosity of the residents of Valley
County in 2015 greatly impacted our participating
organizations!
