Corps favors 'spring pulse' on Missouri River to protect fish (11/30)

(Kansas City, Missouri-AP) The Army Corps of Engineers says it favors a spring rise in the Missouri River, and a drop in flow in the summer, to help bird and fish species survive. Currently, the Corps maintains a higher summer flow, to help the barge industry.

The Corps today released a draft biological opinion, saying it agrees with the U-S Fish and Wildlife Service, on the need to protect endangered species along the river.

Supporters of the so-called "spring pulse" plan say it will also aid the recreation industry in Montana and other upstream states.

Opponents say it would ruin the barge industry, leaving shipping of much of the nation's grains to the railroads.

Markle Oil Company Sold (11/29)

One portion of Markle's Inc. has been sold, announced Tom Markle, CEO. Markle Oil Company of Glasgow was sold this week to Grain Grower’s Oil Company Inc. of Scobey. The rest of the Markle business, including Markle Hardware, Markle Implement Company and Markle's Value Furniture and Appliance Warehouse, remain with Markle’s Inc.

"Selling the Oil Company allows us to focus on the core of our business," he explained. "Part of our corporation has changed, but Markle's has not. We are certainly not going out of business."

Markle’s and Grain Growers have had a long-standing business relationship, he said. "They are well seasoned in providing the products and services historically handled by Markle Oil, such as tires, gas, diesel, and in Scobey, they also handle fertilizer, ag chemicals and propane. We see this move as a win for everyone: our customers, Glasgow, Scobey and northeast Montana."

Grain Growers will take over operation of the Exxon Mobil station on Highway #2 and the bulk plant on the Fort Peck Highway, along with real estate, assets and inventories. Markle's Inc. will operate Markle Oil as it has in the past through the end of the year.

The Markles are confident that Grain Growers will continue the tradition of dedicated customer service to northeast Montana, and extend their thanks and appreciation to all of their fuel customers.

5000 EXTRA TAX STATEMENTS TO BE SENT OUT (11/27)

An oversight by the Valley County Commissioners will force the Valley County Treasurers office to send out an estimated 5000 extra tax statements to Valley County residents who live in the unincorporated areas of the county.

The treasurer's office sent out tax statements to all Valley County residents on November 1st but not included in those statements was an extra 10 mills that was to be used fund the graveling of county roads.

On June 6th Valley County voters approved an additional 10 mills per year for two years to gravel county roads. This extra levy was assessed only on those county residents who don't live in a city or a town.
According to the Valley County Commissioners this levy was inadvertently left off the tax statements even though all three county commissioners signed off on the budget for Valley County which didn't include the gravel money. The levy is expected to raise $210,000 for the graveling of county roads. Before the tax statements are sent to Valley County taxpayers they go through a 4 way system which includes the Valley County Clerk and Recorders Office, County Commissioners, Assessors office and the Valley County Treasurer.

The tax statements were sent out on November 1st and the mistake was first realized by County Commissioner Marlene Erickson and she brought it to the attention to the rest of the commission. After consulting an attorney the commissioners decided to sent out an additional tax statement which is expected to go out December 15th. Valley County taxpayers who are assessed this levy will then have 30 days to pay this tax.

In the meantime Valley County officials have had to order additional tax statements and are expected to have to send out an estimated 5000 extra statements.

FMDH DISCONTINUES ASK-A-NURSE (11/27)

Randy Holom CEO at Francis Mahon Deaconess Hospital announced that the hospital has discontinued its contract with Ask-A-Nurse.

Ask-A-Nurse was a program provided by the St. Vincent Hospital in Billings. Under the terms of the contract callers in the Glasgow area could call Ask-A-Nurse twenty four hours a day seven days a week and obtain medical information or information about community services available.

While the service was popular with the community it was very costly to the hospital. The annual contract came with a twenty thousand dollar, a year, price tag. Over the last several months the hospital has taken measures to cut expenses and increase revenue in order to improve their financial situation. The staff and administration at FMDH recognize the popularity of the Ask-A-Nurse program and are continuing to investigate alternative programs.

PROFESSOR SAYS MISSOURI DAMS SHOULD GO (11/17)
(Vermillion, South Dakota-AP) -- A Texas professor says the six dams on the Missouri River are not doing what was intended.

Robert Schneiders says those dams -- including the Fort Peck Dam in Montana -- should be breached. He told an audience in Vermillion, South Dakota, the dams have not achieved what their supporters had hoped.

Schneiders says, of the dam's four goals -- flood control, navigation, irrigation and hydroelectric power -- only hydroelectric power is consistently met. He proposes taking down one dam at a time rather than all six at once.

Schneiders delivered the first lecture of the Missouri River Institute series, at the University of South Dakota. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

WEATHER SERVICE TESTING HUMAN VOICE ON RADIO (11/17)
(AP) The National Weather Service in Glasgow is one of only two offices nationwide testing a new human voice to deliver information to weather radios.

The voice was chosen after a nationwide search among weather service staff, prompted by complaints the current computer-generated voice was difficult to understand. The test already has been so successful it is to be expanded to include a weather service office in every state.

Complaints centered on the computer-generated voice sounding to some like a speaker with an eastern European accent. And there have been concerns the computer voice was causing confusion with mispronunciations. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

GOVERNOR DECLARES DISASTER IN 8 COUNTIES (11/15)
(Billings-AP) -- Governor Marc Racicot Tuesday declared eight eastern Montana counties disaster areas, because of early November snow storms that left residents without electricity. More than one-thousand people were without power after a storm swept through November first.

On Tuesday, at least 80 homes and ranches remained without power. And, an electric cooperative official says it could be another week before power is restored to some of them. Deep snow and cold temperatures are preventing crews from repairing the nearly 700 power poles that snapped in the storm.

The counties declared disaster areas are: Carter, Daniels, Dawson, Fallon, Richland, Roosevelt, Sheridan and Wibaux. Officials say the state and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are assessing the damages to determine if federal aid is needed. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR LOCAL SPEECH AND DRAMA MEET (11/14)

Bob Rennick Jr., Glasgow High School Speech and Drama Coach, today announced the date for the Glasgow Invitational Speech and Drama Meet. Glasgow will be hosting teams from the Eastern Division on December 2nd. He went on to say, "Volunteer judges are again needed for the Meet to be successful."

It's more than just successful because without volunteer judges, Speech and Drama Meets can not take place. A Meet has l5 different events, most with more than one section occurring at the same time. That makes approximately 30 judges per round and there are three rounds and finals. During the final round, three judges are needed for each event. If you did the Arithmetic, that is 165 judging spots that need filled. Of course, many judges agree to do more than one round.

Rennick and Assistant Coach, Sharon LaBonty, are asking Glasgow people to volunteer to judge. Glasgow has a reputation for pitching in when the call goes out for help. "Last year, we were overwhelmed, and honored, by the out pouring of help for the Divisional Meet. We are hoping for the same response this year. "

Past judges will be called soon. LaBonty stated, "It helps if people call to volunteer. That is one less phone call that Bob or I have to make." To volunteer to be a judge, please call Rennick at the high school, 228-2485, or LaBonty at 228-9208.

80 FARMS STILL WITHOUT POWER 2 WEEKS AFTER STORM (11/14)
(Plentywood-AP) -- About 80 farms and ranches near Plentywood are still without power today, nearly two weeks after a snow and ice storm that blew through the area.

As many as 500 power poles snapped during the storm, and subsequent blizzards have prevented crews from repairing poles and downed power lines. Deep snow and cold temperatures continued to slow progress today, although crews restored electricity to 15 ranches in the Bainville, Dagmar, Coalridge and Westby areas. At one time, as many as 12-hundred people were without electricity, and roughly five-thousand beef cattle were stranded in snowdrifts reaching up to ten feet deep.

Officials with Sheridan, Roosevelt, Richland and Carter Counties declared their counties disaster areas. Representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency will visit the area this week to assess damages, and determine if the counties require a state or federal disaster declaration.

KIWANIS UPDATE (11/13)

Montana District Kiwanis Governor Jim Ebersol and his wife Mary Ellen from Missoula were guests at a recent Glasgow Kiwanis luncheon meeting. Jim spoke to the local club about the international service project of eradicating iodine immune disorders (IDD) from the world, reporting that $72 million has been collected and donated. He was proud to announce that every club in the Montana District contributed to the cause for a total of $250,000. This amount means that 5 million people will be saved from IDD.

To emphasize that Membership Matters, Jim gave each attendee a package of M&M candies. He challenged the club to bring the membership numbers from 42 to 54 this year. "If each member brings in a new member, this goal can be easily reached," Jim commented.

Membership committee members encourage and invite all interested persons in the community to attend a Glasgow Kiwanis noon luncheon meeting and program, held each Wednesday at noon at the Elks Club. For more information, please contact Lila at 228-4346 or Bill at 228-9225.

In 1965, Kiwanis International Foundation established the Tablet of Honor as a way to recognize those who have "made a difference" in this world.

Recently the Tablet of Honor was presented to L.J. Baker, long time member of Glasgow Kiwanis Club. This recognition was made possible by the clubâs contribution to the foundation, directed to the Worldwide Service Project to virtually eliminate iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), the world's leading cause of preventable mental retardation in children.

L.J. Baker was recognized because of his dedicated service to our community, Kiwanis, and the world. This is a better place to live because of his service and commitment. Mr. Jim Ebersol, Montana District Governor, made the presentation of the plaque, pocket crest, pin and name patch for the local clubâs honor banner. L.J.âs wife, Jean, was present as her husband received the Tablet of Honor, the highest honor that can be bestowed by the Kiwanis International Foundation.

STATE TO ASK FOR PRELIMINARY DISASTER ASSESSMENT (11/13)
HELENA -- Montana Disaster and Emergency Services has requested to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region 8 in Denver, Colorado to conduct a joint Preliminary Damage Assessment to document damages to rural electric coops in Eastern Montana from last weekís severe snowstorms. This is first step needed for Governor Racicot to determine whether to request a Presidential Disaster Declaration. FEMA/State representatives are tentatively scheduled to begin the assessment process on Tuesday, November 14.

If the governor does request a Presidential Disaster Declaration, federal assistance will allow the rural electric coops in the declared areas to recoup eligible costs for the repair of their systems that were damaged or destroyed by last weekís snowstorms and the eligible costs associated with restoring power to approximately 400 families. Costs incurred by counties or cities in the disaster area may also be eligible. Eligible costs would be reimbursed at 75% by FEMA and 25% state and local.

Damage assessments are being done in the following counties: Daniels, Sheridan, Roosevelt, Richland, Dawson, Wibaux, Fallon, and Carter.

LIVESTOCK CRISIS APPEARS TO BE OVER IN NORTHEAST MONTANA (11/10)
(AP) The agricultural agent for Sheridan County says the livestock crisis in northeastern Montana appears to be over.

Terry Angvick of Plentywood says ranchers have been able to reach cattle stranded by snowdrifts, or are close to reaching them, to provide food and water. Earlier, Angvick estimated drifted snow kept ranchers away from more than five-thousand head of cattle. Some animals were stranded for a week or so.

Angvick says ranchers managed to knock down some accumulated snow, and plowing on secondary roads was a big help. He says some cattle probably have died, but he doesn't know how many.

SOME STILL WITHOUT POWER (11/10)
(AP) In northeastern Montana, Sheridan Electric Co-op at Medicine Lake is still working to restore electrical service to homes that lost power in a storm last week.

That storm delivered freezing rain that weighted power lines, which then were broken by 30- to 40-mile-an-hour winds.

Outages affected some 12-hundred homes, and manager Bill Schell says by today, 150 are still without service, Most are in the areas of Bainville, Dagmar and Westby.

Heavy snow is hindering utility crews trying to reach areas where lines are down.

The National Weather Service says Montana's deepest snow at reporting stations early today was 14 inches, at Westby. Other depths included eight inches at Glasgow, six inches at Butte, five inches at West Yellowstone and three inches at Lewistown. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

SNOWPLOWS USED TO DELIVER BALLOTS (11/8)
(Plentywood-AP) - Snowplows got ballots through clogged roads to the northeastern Montana towns of Westby and Dagmar yesterday, but they arrived hours after the polls were supposed to open. The storm was the second in a week to dump heavy, wet snow on an eight-county area of the state. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

NORTHEAST MONTANANS STRUGGLE TO GET TO POLLS (11/7)
(AP) Election officials are struggling to get ballots through snow-clogged roads to voters in two small northeastern Montana communities that are isolated by a blizzard.

Milt Hovland is Sheridan County election administrator at Plentywood. He has loaded ballots onto state snowplows headed to Westby, 25 miles east of Plentywood, and Dagmar, a sprawling ranching community 30 miles southeast. Westby has 351 registered voters and Dagmar has 324. Voters requested 124 absentee ballots between them, and most have been returned.

Secretary of State Mike Cooney says if the snowplows don't get through, election officials might send the towns a sample ballot by fax or e-mail and let them make photocopies. He says it could even be hand-written, if necessary.

BLIZZARD UPDATE (11/7)
(AP) -The blizzard that's causing Election-Day problems in northeastern Montana is piling trouble on top of troubles left last week by another storm. More than 500 power line poles were snapped by heavy, wet snow last week, and repairs were still far from complete when this latest storm hit.

Secretary of State Mike Cooney notes that many of the roughly 200 ranches sprawling around Dagmar have been without power since last Wednesday or Thursday.

Sheridan County commissioners have declared the county a disaster area.

Election officials in neighboring Roosevelt and Daniels counties say some election judges are having trouble getting to the polling places. Cheryl Hansen, Roosevelt County clerk and recorder, says only one of three election judges could get to the polling site in Bainville - so she swore in her husband to help with polling.

SHERIDAN COUNTY STORM UPDATE (11/7)
Here is a storm situation update for the residents of Sheridan County and surrounding areas.

The County Commissioners today officially declared Sheridan County to be a disaster area due to the severe storm conditions and the extensive damage to electrical lines. Roads are extremely icy and wind chills are extreme, so residents are asked to avoid all travel except in an emergency, until conditions improve.

All REC customers who have a generator running are urgently asked to make sure it is connected only to the buildings- not the outside lines. Generators connected directly to REC lines have been causing feedback problems as the lines are restored. Please make sure your generator is disconnected from the lines to prevent possible injury as well as damage to vital equipment, this will also speed up the line repair process.

At this time power has been restored to most of the communities in the area, but some rural areas remain without service in below-zero wind-chill. Sheridan Electric recently announced that over 500 power poles have been broken off and will have to be replaced before electrical service can be restored to these areas. A crew of about 35 is working around the clock to make repairs, but blowing snow and bad road conditions slow down their efforts.

The Red Cross also wants to know who has firewood available for those with wood stoves, and who has a stove but not enough wood. If you either have wood or need it, please call Vicky at 765-2011.

STORM BLOCKS BALLOTS (11/7)
(Plentywood-AP) Election officials in Sheridan County can't get ballots to two small towns because of the winter storm that has blocked roads in northeastern Montana. The towns are Dagmar, about 25 miles east of Plentywood, and Westby, about 30 miles southeast. They have almost 700 registered voters between them.

Election Administrator Milt Hovland says he has faxed a sample ballot to the Westby City Hall, and they can copy it if worse comes to worst, but that isn't possible at Dagmar. He's checking the possibility of e-mailing a ballot to Dagmar for copying.

Even if ballots can get to the towns, many voters may not be able to reach the polling places.

Westby has 351 registered voters, and Dagmar has 324. Forty-three people at Westby got absentee ballots, and 81 at Dagmar.

Election officials in Roosevelt and Daniels counties, also blanketed by the storm, say they sent their ballots out yesterday, but some election judges are having trouble getting to the polling places.

Roosevelt County Clerk and recorder Cheryl Hansen says only one of three judges could get to Bainville, but she swore in her husband to help.

PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST MONTANA STILL WITHOUT POWER (11/6)
Power customers in rural Sheridan and Roosevelt Counties are still waiting for power to be restored after a winter storm last Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents of all the towns in eastern Montana have been without power off and on also.

MDU has restored power to most of its customers; a few in Plentywood and Williston are still in the dark MDU hopes to have power to them today. MDU lost a main transmission line between Grenora, ND and Plentywood MT last week. Over 100 poles were knocked down in the ice storm. MDU has had about 30 people working to make repairs in the northeast MT and northwestern ND since November 1 and 2nd. Crews totaling about 30 people have been working round the clock to restore power on the MDU system. MDU says it may take till next spring to completely repair their system but temporary repairs will be completed as soon as possible.

Sheridan Electric Co-op in Medicine Lake report that they have over 500 poles on the ground. They have 50 people that have been working around the clock to restore power. Hugo Anderson of Sheridan Electric said the ice on the lines was 5 to 6 inches thick the night and morning of the storm. Wind gusts were over 45mph causing the lines and power poles to break.

Sheridan Electric covers an area from Brockton east to the North Dakota line and North to the US Canadian Border then east to the North Dakota Line. Every customer has been affected by this storm.

The City of Plentywood was unable to pump water from their water wells to their storage tank since Wednesday last week. Sheridan electric was able to restore power on Saturday but the town was kept on emergency use only until the storage tank had been filled. No fires were reported during the power outage.

The ice storm that hit has done thousands of dollars in damage. The Red Cross has housed some rural residents and some elderly people that had been without power.

34 COMMUNITIES TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR TSEP FUNDS (11/4)
Infrastructure Project Awards Exceed $13.88 Million

Drinking water, wastewater, storm drain, and bridge projects in 34 Montana cities, towns, counties, water/sewer districts, and Indian reservations will be recommended for approval to the 2001 Montana Legislature.

These Department of Commerce Treasure State Endowment Program (TSEP) grants, ranging from $167,460 to $500,000, total over $13.88 million.

Drinking water projects recommended for grants include Blackfeet Tribe, Browning, Essex, Gardiner, Geraldine, Hot Springs, Lambert, Power, and Shelby.

Sewer collection and wastewater treatment projects include Alder, Ashland, Charlo, Choteau, Florence, Froid, Hinsdale, Kevin, Lockwood, Manhattan, Nashua, Park City, Stanford, Virgina City, Whitefish, and Whitewater. A storm drain collection project in Helena, and bridge projects in Lewis and Clark County and Richland County will also be recommended.

In addition, three additional projects are recommended for grants if there are sufficient funds, including a wastewater treatment project in Fairview, a bridge project in Yellowstone County and a combination water and sewer project in Jordan. These additional grants would total another $1.3 million.

"TSEP creates a partnership between the State and local governments to deal with critical public health and safety needs," said Peter Blouke, Director of the Montana Department of Commerce. "It makes public facilities projects affordable for our communities, generates millions of dollars in construction activity, creates jobs for Montanans and generates local revenues." "This year the grant requests from 38 applicants totaled over $16.77 million," Blouke added. "Unfortunately, TSEP does not have enough funds to help all of the communities that need it. However, the growth in the TSEP fund has allowed the us to fund most of the projects that applied for assistance."

The Treasure State Endowment Program was established in 1992 by passage of a referendum by Montana voters. The program uses the interest earned from a permanent trust fund that is continuing to grow from the build up of coal tax revenues. The TSEP grants are matched by local funds and by loans and grants from other state and federal programs. Applications are ranked by Commerce staff according to statutory criteria, including factors such as threat to public health and safety and financial need. The Department then submits their recommendations to the Governor for approval and in turn to the Montana Legislature for its review and approval.

A list of the communities that will be recommended to the 2001 Legislature for TSEP funding follows:

TWO KILLED IN SEPARATE COUNTY ACCIDENTS (11/4)

Two people were killed in separate car crashes involving deer in the Nashua area early this morning.

The first occurred at about 2:30 a-m on U-S Highway 2. A spokesman with the Montana Highway Patrol says an eastbound vehicle struck a deer and was disabled in the road. But the driver of a second eastbound vehicle apparently didn't see the first, and went off the road trying to avoid it. The 40-year-old male driver was killed.

The second accident occurred just one half-hour later on Montana Highway 117, also near Nashua. An 18-year-old woman was killed when the driver lost control of the vehicle trying to avoid a deer. Three male passengers, ranging in age from 17 to 22, were injured.

The victims' names have not been released pending notification of relatives.

to construct a warm-water fish hatchery at Fork Peck Lake.

Burns included the provision after months of negotiations with Senate
Environment and Public Works Chairman Bob Smith (R-N.H.). Hill was able to
secure a promise from Rep. Bud Shuster (R-Pa.) to ensure that the project
would be included in the final version of the bill after Hill opposed the
House version of the legislation, which omitted the hatchery.

The hatchery would be constructed based on the findings of an Army Corps of
Engineers' feasibility study, for which Burns secured $125,000 to complete
the study. In addition, private Montana companies and other entities offered
$125,000 in matching funds for the study. Montana has only one other
warm-water fish hatchery, in Miles City, which is already running at maximum
capacity.

"I appreciate the work of Senator Burns to get this project through the
Congress, and I am confident the president will sign it," Hill said. "Not
only has Senator Burns' leadership improved recreational opportunities at
Fort Peck Lake and in northeast Montana, but he has contributed to strong
fish populations and healthy wildlife habitats in the region as well."

Under the bill, the federal government's share of the costs of construction
will be 75 percent. However, fish-stocking efforts by the State of Montana
since 1947 and other efforts such as road and infrastructure construction
will count toward the non-federal contribution.

The project began in 1999 with a group of Montanans. Working with Walleyes
Unlimited of Montana and other groups, Citizens for the Fort Peck Fish
Hatchery has spearheaded the project along with Burns. The Montana
Legislature also threw its support behind the hatchery, passing a bill that
creates a hatchery stamp that will be sold along with Montana fishing
licenses. Proceeds from the stamp will be used for operation and maintenance
of the project.

ROAD CONDITIONS WORSEN IN EASTERN MONTANA (11/2)
(AP) -- (11am) Road conditions are going from bad to worse because of blowing and drifting snow, ice, snowpack, and downed power lines in eastern Montana.

The Montana Department of Transportation has expanded its road closures, now closing Interstate 94 from Glendive to the North Dakota line.

Also closed are Montana 16 from Sidney to 18 miles northwest of Sidney; Montana 16 from Froid to Plentywood; Montana Seven from Ekalaka to Wibaux, and Highway 323 from Ekalaka to a point 24 miles south. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

WINTER STORM CAUSES POWER OUTAGES IN EASTERN MONTANA (11/2)

Thursday Morning Winter Storm Info
(Miles City-AP) Lots of people in eastern Montana lost their electrical power overnight. The Mc-Cone Electric Co-op says high winds, and ice on the lines, caused outages in Jordan, Richie, Ekalaka , Wibaux and Circle.

Floyd Brant is with the Mc-Cone Co-op in Circle. He says power has been restored there, and crews are working to restore service to the rest of the area. Brant says electrical power should be restored to all customers by noon.

The outages are a byproduct of the winter storm that hit parts of eastern Montana yesterday and last night. Some of the higher elevations in the southeast reported ten inches of snow, with two to three inches on the ground in Ekalaka this morning and still snowing.

Lots of snow also in northeast Montana, where a winter storm warning continues today. Elsewhere, a blizzard warning had been issued for western Custer, Fallon and Carter counties, but it's been canceled. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

FORT PECK HATCHERY BILL PASSES SENATE (11/1)
(AP) The U-S Senate has unanimously passed a bill creating a new warm-water fish hatchery at Fort Peck Lake. Senator Max Baucus says the bill also swaps a series of cabin sites at Fort Peck, for land that's important for hunting and fishing. And it has money to help clean up polluted streams in Montana.

Democrat Baucus says he expects the House to pass the bill, and send it to President Clinton, before Congress adjourns this week.

The Water Resources Development Act has 20 (m) million dollars for the Fort Peck hatchery.

Versions of the bill had already passed both houses. But the House version stripped out the Fort Peck money. House-Senate Conferees restored it, and the revised version has passed the Senate and awaits House action. (Copyright 2000 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

CIRCLE SUPERINTENDENT PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE (11/1)
(Glendive-AP) -- There's been some fallout, after the Circle-Richey football coach and his assistant were suspended last week. At a special meeting last night, the school board placed superintendent Earle Schafer on administrative leave, with pay, effectively immediately.

Schafer's wife says he was fired, but will retain his pay and benefits for the rest of the school year. The vote by the board was five-to-one, in favor of the action.

Schafer suspended football coach Kevin Guldborg and his assistant Burt Kelly last Tuesday. Kelly reportedly used profane language in yelling at a football player during halftime of a game at Ekalaka.

Mrs. Schafer says the board declined to suspend the coaches, so Schafer did.

The board reinstated the two at a special meeting last Thursday, after hundreds of area residents came to the meeting in support of the coaches.

Circle-Richey lost 36-28 to Medicine Lake-Froid in the first round of the Class C football playoffs on Saturday. (Copyright 2000 Associated Press. All rights reserved.)
