The hour is 4:45 a.m. and Barbara Walter, a member of the Hutterite colony is stirring in bed. It is her week to prepare all of the meals for the colony’s 48 members. Upon waking, she walks through her modest trailer and begins fumbling in the dark for her clothes. Dressing in customary Hutterite clothing she puts on a long, also modest, flowing dark blue dress with an off white blouse underneath. Covering the front is a shorter, flo- Annie Marie Walter (left) and another colony member help clean recently butchered chickens. ral patterned apron. After brushing her hair, she twists the long front locks up and pins it in place inside her head covering, as is customary for the women Dariusleut followers. Quietly closing the door behind her, she makes her way toward the communal kitchen where she will spend the better portion of her day. Barbara passes several other trailers identical to hers before she reaches the large, 50 x 80 steel building which houses the industrial-sized and commercially stocked kitchen. It is still dark outside and the low lying sunrise is barely peaking up from the vast open prairie in varying shades of pale pinks. Taking in a long breath she notices the air is chilly, but far from cold. Wrapping her arms around her in an effort to fend off the slight breeze she hears several birds in the distance, followed by silence. Soon the others will be up and moving about, tending to their daily chores. It is Barbara’s job to see to it that they are each fed a healthy, hearty breakfast. Esther doesn’t need to worry about what she’ll fix for breakfast. With the exception of supper, each day is designated with a meal. Monday’s breakfast consists of eggs. Tuesday is bacon and eggs, Wednesday is cereal, Thursday is sausage, pancakes and eggs and Friday is boiled eggs and a meat. Just as Barbara begins gathering various pans to begin preparing the meal, her helper, Esther, enters the kitchen. She, too, will work all week long. Next week, a new team will rotate into the kitchen. However, the two women don’t have to worry about doing any baking this week. Another woman is designated with that job. The rest of the women will clean. Within the colony, all women between the ages of 17-50 will cook. After the age of 50, the women are still helping with the colony chores but it becomes their decision about how they want to help. “They might help out with dishes or something but they don’t have too,” said Annie Marie, a colony member. Work within the colony is well organized to ensure everything gets done and is set up on a rotation basis so that nobody gets stuck with the same chore each week. Each household is responsible for their own laundry. The women take turns each week cleaning the four wash(Continued on page 9) The Early Bird Golf Scramble will take place on Saturday, May 31. The event benefits three worthy causes. First, a local couple is on their way to Afghanistan to start a drug treatment center. The Early Bird Golf Scramble is coming alongside this couple to aid in their endeavor. The other two causes are the Boys and Girls Club of Richland County and the MonDak Heritage Center. The Early Bird Golf Scramble’s organizing team was impressed with what the Boys and Girls Club is offering to the community. Scramble Chairman Greg Ledgerwood said, “We were looking for a great local cause to get behind and felt it a natural move to support the Boys and Girls Club.” The local club has 176 student members. They have averaged nearly 80 students since the beginning of 2008. The Boys & Girls Club of Richland County is dedicated to inspiring and enabling all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Their mission is accomplished through homework assistance programs, character building curriculum, and volunteerism in a safe and fun atmosphere. The MonDak Heritage Center is benefiting specifically from the “Dutch Auction” portion of the event. A dozen gift baskets/bags have been assembled for people to buy tickets to have the chance to take one home. The baskets range from golfing interests to home gardening to home decor. Tickets are on sale now at the MonDak Heritage Center. The public is also welcome to come out to the Sidney Country Club on May 31 at 9 a.m. and see the first class golf exhibition by trick shot pro Josh Olson, and then come inside the club house and buy tickets for the auction. The MonDak Heritage Center was picked by the Early Bird Golf Scramble organizing team because of their commitment to the heritage and culture of the region along with bringing cultural events and exhibits to the area. Director Sandy Turner said that “Our commitment to preserving the heritage and bringing quality exhibits and music events to the Center directly impacts the citizens of our area by providing activities not otherwise available in our region." "It is evident that the MonDak Heritage Center intends to be a community factor. I think we all have noticed the community enriching activities the Center has been putting on,” said Ledgerwood.

Join 4th Annual Kids Fishing Derby Saturday Come out to the Watford City Youth Fishing Pond on Saturday, May 31 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and enjoy a day of free fishing with a special youngster in your life. The USDA Forest Service, the City of Watford City, and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department have teamed up again to provide fishing youngsters a “Fish and Tell” experience with their friends and family. The Youth Fishing Pond just east of the Watford City football and track field is the location. Children ages 13 years and under are invited, along with an adult responsible for staying with them, to the Fourth Annual Kids Fishing Derby. Registration for all participants will begin at 9 a.m. Sparkling water, bugs, patience, and fishing poles are all part of the fishing experience as fishing hooks will be baited with hopes of getting that big fish on the line! Over 140 children fished the Watford City Youth Fishing Pond last year at the Third Annual Kids Fishing Derby. Young fishermen and women should bring their fishing poles, bait, and tackle boxes to the derby; and they’ll want to bring some means to transport their live fish home after the derby. Participants are encouraged to take their prize fish catches home, as there will be no provisions for on site fish cleaning. We ask that everyone park their vehicles in the football field parking lot. The community of Watford City is again donating generously to provide prizes, food, and peoples’ time to make this a day of family-fun. Once the fishing-fun is complete, lunch will be served and door prizes will be given out. For more information contact the U.S. Forest Service office in Watford City at 842-2393. 2 ROUNDUP, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2008 READY TO MOVE INTO!

Baby Bonanza Planned For June 7 People’s Congregational Church has planned the “1 st Annual Baby Bonanza” to be held Saturday June 7, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. “Baby Bonanza” is an indoor garage sale that will enable community members to sell infant and children’s clothing, toys, furniture and misc. items. Community members can rent a table for $5 or two tables for $8; table rental fees will go the church to raise money to redecorate the church nursery; individual sellers will retain all money from merchandise they sell. One room will be set up for larger items such as cribs and other furniture, while the church’s lawn will be available for outdoor toys and play sets to be displayed. Large items inside and outside will be numbered to correspond to the seller’s table, so buyers can easily pay for the items. Community members also may donate items if they wish; monies from donated items will go to the church. A bake sale will be held coinciding with “Baby Bonanza” with all money raised going to the nursery fund. Please contact Penny Filler at 406-488-1410 or [email protected] for more information or to reserve a table; space is limited.

Ironically enough, my son is one of the best young golfers in the area. Last week I asked him if he has learned anything from me – about golf or anything else . . . There was an uncomfortable silence; then he tried to answer diplomatically. “Dad, I have learned from you.” “How could that be?” I asked. “Well,” he said with reflection, “I try to do as you say – not as you do.” That was a left-handed compliment if I ever heard one; and it could also be my epitaph. “Do as I say – not as I do.” It’s true. I’m a lousy excuse for a golfer. I’m also weak in basketball and football. I can’t skate worth a darn. I was a “good field no hit” baseball player. I was a good soccer goalie, though. I also had good running endurance (I completed 11 marathons) but wasn’t very fast. And I had some success as a coach – but those days are long gone. People used to think I was pretty smart. But people aren’t impressed by smart landscapers. When prospective clients see how many “dog spots” my lawn has, they don’t care how smart I am. They want results. You might, in fact, disregard my landscaping advice altogether – if you knew how pathetic my lawn has looked lately. Why should my par-golfing son take advice from his double-bogeying father? For that matter, why should anyone take advice on anything – especially from someone who doesn’t demonstrate proficiency at the activity in question? For example, should you listen to a cigarette-smoking doctor who is fat and lazy? Or listen to an accountant who can’t balance his own books? Or trust a minister who doesn’t follow the Ten Commandments? And should you take advice from a marriage counselor who has been through a messy divorce? Is advice worth the proverbial paper it’s written on? Should kids listen to their parents anymore? Should we trust politicians and professionals who have disappointed us in the past – and don’t demonstrate any more “expertise” than the average Joe? Perhaps we should all turn a deaf ear to the flood of “well-meaning advice” we hear every day. Melody Beattie, in her classic book, Codependent No More, describes advicegiving as a prominent part of the disease of codependency. Yes I said disease. It is by far the most common addiction in our society. The desire to manipulate and control others usually arises as a response to being in a relationship where one partner is an alcoholic, and the other (a non-drinker) essentially goes crazy trying to control their partner’s behavior. Codependency is described as obsession with other peoples’ lives. If you’re codependent, you don’t know what your own feelings are, but you are obsessed with what the other guy is doing and feeling. You always give advice. You believe other people “need” your help, and have the false notion that everything you do is done for unselfish reasons. While “helping others” may, in fact, be helpful – it also leads to subtle (and not so subtle) changes in the personalities of both the giver and the receiver. Like so many other vices, I must also admit to having this one. Most health care providers are codependent. They enjoy giving advice, feeling helpful, and being thanked for their activities. Teachers, preachers, spouses, friends, neighbors, and even landscapers also like getting pats on the back. Unfortunately, the desire to help excessively can become controlling. Interfering with the lives of others can do more harm than good. Codependency has infiltrated our governmental policies. Hilary Clinton says “it takes a village to raise a child.” Many people think the government should get out of child-rearing business, though. Not that there shouldn’t be some safeguards, but government doesn’t have a good track record on managing personal matters. For example, if money is borrowed irresponsibly, there should be consequences – instead of having another government bailout. Giving advice, and interfering in other people’s business, is a tendency that is rampant in our society. For example, I should keep my mouth shut the next time I feel like giving my son advice on his golf game, or anything else. He can figure it out on his own. And I should concentrate on my own golf swing. Too much advice is detrimental to his health – and mine. ROUNDUP, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2008 5 Local Agriculture Teacher Selected For National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador Academy Crystal Johnson, Richey High School FFA instructor, is one of 28 specially selected agricultural science education teachers from 26 states across the United States to spend a week at Chesapeake Farms in Chestertown, MD, learning how to incorporate inquiry based instruction and higher level science principles into the existing curriculum. Johnson, in turn, will serve as part of a national network of Agriscience Teacher Ambassadors working with teachers to integrate science education into the agriculture classroom. “The National Agriscience Teacher Ambassador Academy is an opportunity to learn with a dynamic group of agriculture science teachers who each have the goal to better their classroom by challenging students to think critically and become engaged in the learning process, and then help other ag teachers as you provide workshops”, said Colleen Griswold, one of the teachers attending in 2007. Sponsored by DuPont and supported by Lab Aids, the week-long academy will focus on the scientific side of agriculture, specifically environmental issues, water as a resource, genetics and fluid mechanics. “Providing new and engaging instructional methods of science education to agricultural education students offers unique challenges and opportunities to the agricultural educator, who is quite often trained in areas of traditional production-focused agriculture,” said Larry Gossen, local program success specialist in the education at the National AgriScience Teacher Ambassador Academy Division of the National FFA Organization. “These teachers will have hands-on laboratory experience learning about stream monitoring, water quality and genetically modified organisms.” The teachers will study key agriscience issues and receive many resources, ideas and techniques to integrate into their classrooms, including a variety of literacy strategies. They will also tour the Delaware Biotechnology Institute and DuPont Labs. Dr. Brian Myers, assistant professor at the University of Florida, will also work with the teachers on effective methods of teaching InquiryBased lessons and how to teach adults. Teachers will serve as National Agriscience Summer Activities • Swimming • Preschool • Swim Lessons • Library-Summer Reading Program Crystal Johnson Teacher Ambassadors representing their home states. In the fall, these teachers will then deliver workshops at the national FFA convention in Indianapolis, Ind. and the national conference of the National Association of Agricultural Educators, Charlotte, NC. Eventually it is a goal to have ambassadors in every state in the nation.

While they were in attendance at the conference, students participated in a variety of competitive events, attended workshops, and were able to see many local attractions. They joined other Montana BPA students in an excursion to the National Bowling Center which houses 300 bowling lanes. They were also able to tour a planetarium and view a wide-format production and take a cruise on Lake Tahoe. Afton Garland was a national finalist in the Integrated Office Applications event, placing tenth nationally. She was awarded a medal and voucher for MOUS certification.

When they aren’t responsible for the cooking, they are cleaning. Cabinets and stainless steel surfaces are scrubbed each week as well as the floors. The kitchen is where the colony eats all of their meals together. The room is long and open but set up with the different stations. Toward the back, a long sterile looking silver butchering table is set up. Adjacent to it is where the women prepare all of the fruits and vegetables for canning. In the center of the room, five long cafeteria style benches are set up for the dining. As Esther prepares the scrambled eggs, Barbara begins setting the table with white glass plates and delicate, white coffee mugs. The silverware is plain and no table cloths are used. Breakfast is served promptly at 7 a.m. When the time comes to eat, all of the women will eat on one side and the men will eat on the other. The 13 children also eat at their own separate, designated area. The women are successful at multi-tasking. As they prepare breakfast, they are also using their time to cut up fresh fruits and vegetables for later meals. It is also the time when they marinate meats and make dressings. Lunch is served at 11:30 a.m. and supper begins at 6 p.m. Not all of the women’s chores take place indoors. They will also spend a great deal of time tending their acre large garden which will be bursting with fruits and vegetables. “Last year, the weeds were taking over, so this year we are going to move it,” explains Annie Marie. Some of the crops, such as corn and potatoes, will also be grown in the fields. R e cently, the women have been busy with butchering some 150 fryer chickens. The colony doesn’t have any laying chickens. During this event, the entire colony works together to get the job done. W i t h three dairy cows, they also make their own butter and mozzarella and cheddar Prairie Elk Hutterite Colony women wear customary long length dresses and head coverings which they make themselves. cheese and Here they are pictured assisting with the butchering and cleaning of chickens.

Moose Youth Awareness Program Announces Award Winners The Montana Moose Youth Awareness Program for 2007-2008 concluded with Sarah-Anne Fletcher, daughter of Robert and Laura Fletcher, Sidney as the state winner. She declined a trip to the International Congress for personal reasons and received a $200 scholarship from the Montana Moose Council of Higher Degrees. Runner up for the state of Montana was Blair Troudt, daughter of Lee and Renee Troudt, Sidney. She attended the International Congress in Tampa, FL, to meet and present her “Kids Talk” to other state winners in the United States. Sidney had four participants in the Youth Awareness Program this year. They were Sarah-Anne Fletcher, Blair Troudt, Cor tnee Fischer, daughter of Joey and Stacy Fischer and Jill Sharp daughter of John and Sammie Sharp. These four students attended the Student Congress held on Nov. 10, 2007 with presentations from Tim Anderson (Drug and Alcohol), Helen Schmitt (Domestic Violence Coordinator, Bullying) and Bob Burnison (Dare Program). Students then prepared talks to present to children ages 4-9 in the community. Arrangements were made with area Boys & Girls Club, Girl Scout Leaders, and Day Care Centers. After completion of the Dakota West Credit Union & Members Contribute Money To Help Hospitalized Children In an effort to aid children throughout its communities, Dakota West Credit Union raised $1,135.52 for Children’s Miracle Network by selling “Miracle Balloons” in their nine branch lobbies. In addition to the successful fundraiser, Dakota West Credit Union qualified for a Miracle Match Program through CO-OP Financial Services. Funds raised for Children’s Miracle Network will be matched dollar for dollar. All proceeds from the “Miracle Balloon” fundraiser and the Miracle Match Program will go to MeritCare Children’s Hospital, Fargo, ND. “Dakota West Credit Union believes in social responsibility,” said Denton Zubke, CEO. “Helping children is an important aspect of that goal.” Children’s Miracle Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals across North American. Children’s Miracle Network hospitals provide the finest medical care, life-saving research and preventative education to help kids overcome diseases and injuries of every kind. “We Specialize in You.” Visiting Physician Schedule 2006 BigHorn Camper 2002 Triton Boat CAMPER 2007 Kawasaki Mule TRAILERS 2006 BigHorn Fifth Wheel Camper, By Heartland 5x10 Utility Trailer • West Texas Car Dolly 3500RL Triple Slide, Full Awning, Loaded (Like New) Guardian Quietpack 55LP Generator 760cc VTwin 7000 Watt (NEW) • Generac 4000XL 2002 Triton Model 205, 201¼2’ Boat, 225HP Generator • (2) 2400 PSI Pressure Washers 5.5 Yamaha V-Max 3.1 Liter Fuel Injection • 8 HP Hp(1 New In Box) • Mosquito Magnet • 2” Yamaha Kicker, Electric Tilt, Stainless Steel Nylon Pull Rope • Gas Cans • Shovels • Creeper Prop, GPS, 3 Depth Finders, Minnkota Trolling • 2x4 & 2x10 Lumber (New) • Brad Nailer • Motor W/ Auto Pilot, Tandem Axle Trailer, Rock Makita Electric Sawzall • Makita 18V Drill, Guard, Loaded (Sharp!!!) • 1982 Lund 18’ Boat Circular Saw, Flashlight Combo • Dura craft W/ 50HP Mercury Tiller • Minnkota 45 # Thrust Drill Press • Makita 1/2” Drill • Makita 4” Grinder • Skil Pad Sander • Log Chains • Brass 12V Trolling Motor Hose Couplers • Portable Air Tank • Large Assortment Of Hand Tools Mon., June 9 ...................

Fort Benton To Host Missouri River Rendezvous The Missouri River Conservation District, in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management and PPL Montana are hosting the First Annual Missouri River Rendezvous on June 19 in Fort Benton. The 15 conservation districts adjacent to the Missouri River from the headwaters in Gallatin County to the North Dakota border in Richland County have banded together and formed the Missouri River Conservation Districts Council with the goal of ensuring that the Missouri River is sustainable for future generations. The conservation district supervisors are committed to providing the landowners and river users in this 725-mile long river corridor, and the tributaries, the best possible information and assistance as they live and work along the river. The June 19 event will begin with an “invitation only” boat tour of CREP sites along the river from Fort Benton and conclude with a 5 p.m. evening event open to the public at the Montana Ag Museum in Fort Benton. A CREP panel with Glenn Patrick from the FSA, Rob Hazelwood for PPL Montana, and Tom Hinz with the Wetlands Legacy program will explore the new amendments to the CREP program. A second panel to discuss the federal management opportunities will be led by individuals from the BLM, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Fish and Wildlife Service. The MRCDC Coordinator, Vicki Marquis, will also be on hand to provide an update of the activities of the Council from its inception to the present and thoughts on where the Council will be headed in the next couple of years. For more information, or to reserve your seat, please call Vicki at 468-0056 or Gayla at 468-2756.

The award acknowledges Melissa’s successful teaching, her use of Great Books in the classroom, and her commitment to creating a community of teacher and student learners in her school. Melissa joined her fellow award recipients in Chicago on April 25 to attend an awards dinner in their honor. During their weekend visit to Chicago, the 2008 Great Books Great Teacher honorees were also the Foundation’s special guests at Great Books Chicago 2008, an annual event for Great Books enthusiasts that includes attending a variety of cultural activities. “While we strongly believe in the benefits of our Junior Great Books program, we recognize that it cannot help students without the in- spirational leadership of teachers like Melissa Johnson,” says George Schueppert, president of the Great Books Foundation. “The Foundation’s Shared Inquiry method of discussion enables students to discover the joys of reading and discussing high-quality literature, but it’s the able guidance of dedicated educators such as Melissa that lead students to that discovery.” “Ms. Johnson’s teaching style is one that encourages students to discover knowledge and to follow “education trails” that lead to new information and ways of thinking. She is committed to her work and to her students and this translates into a trusting relationship that allows for open communication, shared discussion, and an informed decision making process” Principal Jason Kaup’s recommendation. One veteran professional learning specialist who has been assisting the school for the last couple of years indicated that Johnson’s implementation of the Junior Great Books and shared inquiry model was one of the best she has ever seen in over 30 years in the education field. "She is very modest and shrugs off compliments about her work as though she expects herself and her students to excel. She truly exemplifies the style of teaching and learning that Great Books fosters. To see her classes in action is confirmation that the Junior Great Books and shared inquiry model moves students well beyond mere recall and well into higher levels of thinking and learning.” Junior Great Books is used by more than one million students in all 50 states and in countries around the world. Junior Great Books is proven to help students develop the essential skills of reading carefully, thinking critically, listening intently, and speaking and writing persuasively. By combining age-appropriate literature with the shared inquiry method of discussion, Junior Great Books brings literature to life and helps students discover a joy of reading that they will carry into adulthood. The 2008 Great Books Great Teachers were nominated by their colleagues and come from districts in Meeting financial objectives through mutual funds Investors have many goals retirement income, college education funding, saving for a vacation, bigger house or new boat. And the list of investment options available to help meet those goals is almost as long as the list of goals. Bank certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds, T-bills and money market accounts are all at the ready for investors. But knowing which is the right option often puzzles even the smartest investor. One critical and versatile option in the mix is mutual funds. While some investors may have been put off by mutual funds because of the recent down market, the simple truth is that mutual funds historically remain one of the best options available for meeting investors' short- and long-term goals. They offer variety, diversification, economies of scale and professional management that most other options do not provide. And best of all, it's easy and painless to get started. Mutual funds satisfy a wide range of investment objectives and needs, with options for all personal risk tolerances and financial circumstances. Roughly 80 million people in the United States invest in more than 8,000 mutual funds, with trillions of dollars in assets invested. Here are some reasons investors choose mutual funds: • Economies of scale - Because of their size, mutual funds pay transaction costs much lower than any individual investor would pay to build a similar portfolio. • Diversity of holdings - By investing in one mutual fund, you could literally be investing in hundreds of stocks or bonds. A typical investor could never cost-effectively accumulate this spectrum of holdings. This diversification helps minimize the potential loss if one of the holdings runs into problems. • Professionals manage funds Typical investors don't have the expertise or ability to analyze stocks and bonds to create a successful portfolio. By investing in a mutual fund, you are hiring professional portfolio managers whose job is to watch the markets on a daily basis, with analysts providing insights regularly. • Easy access to funds - Mutual funds are bought and sold every business day, meaning great liquidity for investors. This is not always the case with individual securities because some of them are not widely traded. • The convenience factor - Mutual funds are easily invested in, with most funds offering options for automatic investing. This means you can save toward your goals by having money taken right out of your paycheck and applied to your mutual fund account. So you don't ever need to worry about writing a check or remembering to save. With mutual funds, values fluctuate with the value of the fund's holdings. But due to mutual fund's diversification of holdings, mutual fund price swings can be less dramatic than in individual stocks, as the falling value of one holding may be offset by the rising or unchanged value of another.

During the 2008 Richland County Relay For Life there will be a new touch to the cancer survivors’ celebration. Survivors will be treated to a roast beef dinner on Thursday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m. at the VFW Hall. The sur vivor’s spouse or caregiver is also invited to this celebration. Survivors’ co-chairmen Violet Tharp and Diane Kilsdonk have noticed that more survivors are involved on the teams and it becomes very hectic to have a reception to truly honor survivors the night of the Relay. The hot weather has also prevented many survivors from participating the night of the Relay. “The hope of this celebration is to give survivors the recognition they deserve with out time or weather concerns,” stated Tharp. All survivors that preregister will receive a free Relay For Life Cancer Survivor t-shirt during the celebration dinner. There will be many other activities to honor the survivors at the celebration. One activity will be the making of a survivor handprint banner. The completed banner will be used during the Survivor Lap that starts off the Relay and also displayed during the event. A picture will also be taken of the group, and sent to all participants following the Relay. On Friday, July 25, survivors will assemble at the survivors’ booth during the Relay For Life Event to receive their balloon shortly before the Survivor Lap. Survivors unable to attend the roast beef dinner will be able to pick up their t-shirt at that time. The caregivers will join the survivors during the second lap. It is important for survivors to pre-register early this year to be guaranteed a tshirt and also give organizers a good idea of how many survivors and guests will be attending the supper. For more information about the 2008 Cancer Survivor Celebration or to register as a survivor, please feel free to contact Violet Tharp at 4881173, Diane Kilsdonk or visit the Richland County Relay For Life website at www.richlandcountyrfl.org. #C740 <EBBEM J>; 7HHEM" <?D:J>; :;7B$ MSRP 2008 Tahoe 4WD 3LT $48,045 Your Price $39,377 Murphy Discount - $4,168 * Rebate - $2,000 * Memorial Day Bonus - $2,500 #C1110 MSRP 2008 Silverado 1500 Ext.

Peck Is Montana Board of Oil & Gas Conservation/ Montana Petroleum Association 2008 Essay Contest Winner The Montana Petroleum Association (MPA) and the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation (MBOGC) are pleased to announce that Courtney Peck, Sidney High School, is one of the winners of the 2008 Petroleum Industry Essay Contest. The first place award is $2,000, second place is $1,000 and each runner up will receive $500. The MPA and the MBOGC announced the contest in September of 2007. The contest was open to all high school age students in Montana. The contestants had to discuss the price of oil. Our topic asked students to delve into oil pricing by taking a thorough look at forces that set the transportation fu- els price, control the oil market, and what can be done to reduce prices. According to MPA and MBOGC board member, Jack King, “there are no quick and easy alternatives to petroleum based energy, and we hope that this contest will spark an interest in these issues with our young adults and get them engaged in acquiring the academic skills necessary to find future alternatives.” Sixty-six students from across the state offered essays for consideration. MPA Executive Director Dave Galt was amazed at the response for the program. We appreciate the help of Linda McCulloch, Superintendent of Public Instruction, MEAMFT, Montana Rural Educa- Courtney Peck tion Association, and many newspapers across the state that helped get the word out. Presentations are being scheduled with the cooperation of each of the schools to acknowledge their efforts of the students and to make the cash awards. Both organizations will be reviewing the entire process over the summer to determine if and how to continue to offer the contest in the future. “There is a considerable amount of work involved organizing and grading the essays, says Galt, “but we were very pleased with the results.” Anyone interested in viewing the winning essays can do so on the MPA website: www.montanapetroleum.org.
