Brower Hired As New LYIP ManagerBy Lois Kerr
The Lower YellowstoneIrrigation Project (LYIP) Boardof Control has hired JamesW. Brower, Milton-Freewater,OR, to take over the respon-sibilities of manager at theLYIP. Brower, who officiallybegins his duties as managerof the irrigation project onFeb. 17, replaces JerryNypen, who will retire fromthe manager position effec-tive Feb. 16. Brower will un-officially begin work thisweek on Feb. 8 however ashe wants to familiarize him-self with all aspects of theProject prior to Nypen’s de-parture so he can gain in-sights and knowledge aboutthe project before he takesfull responsibility for LYIP. “Iwant to come a little earlywhile Jerry is still here so Ican learn from him and so Ican discover the secrets ofsuccess,” Brower comments.
Brower applied for theposition with LYIP becausehe and his wife have alwaysadmired this part of the coun-try and its way of life. “My fam-ily has friends from Montana,we know people in Oregonand Washington from Mon-tana, and we have alwaysbeen impressed with thesepeople,” Brower comments.“We like the way of life andwhen we came to Sidney formy interview, we were im-pressed with the friendlypeople and how neighborlyit feels here. People cooper-ate together to get thingsdone right. My wife is excitedto be moving here and wefeel we can’t get back to Sid-ney quickly enough.”
He adds, “My family is afirm believer in treatingpeople with honesty and re-spect, and following theGolden Rule. We find that at-titude in Sidney as well.”
Brower expects to havea smooth transition as hetakes over the reins of LYIP.He plans no major shifts infocus or effort in the immedi-ate future. “I will try not tomake changes,” he remarks.“I was very impressed withthe quality of work and thecraftsmanship the LYIP crewhas demonstrated. Jerry(Nypen) and Bill (Hamburg)are doing things better thanthe way a lot of irrigation dis-tricts in the Washington/Or-egon area handle things. Thefarmers and the board alsocooperate together at LYIP alot better than what we seein Washington and Oregon,and I can see the supportLYIP has from the board andfrom the community. The LYIPcrew takes pride in their workand I like this, what I call anold-fashioned home townwork ethic.”
Brower will makechanges only after consulta-tions and serious thought. “Iwill do a lot of listening,” hecomments. “I plan to meetwith the users and the irriga-tors and I will do my best tobe fair. I want to get togetherwith the farmers, to be ac-cepted into their groups andmeeting places so we cantalk freely in a casual atmo-sphere and discuss theProject and what may beneeded.”
The new managerbrings with him 15 years of
experience in engineering ir-rigation systems. He special-izes in irrigation design andproblem solving, and install-ing new irrigation equipmentthat meets farmers’ needs. Heenjoys managing projects,working with people and heexcels at communicationsand relationship-building.
Brower, who married hishigh school sweetheart 23years ago, has a 19-year-oldson and an 11- year-olddaughter. The family willmove to Sidney as soon aspossible. Once here, Browerplans to join the volunteer firedepartment and become in-volved with the community.“Being a part of the volunteerfire department is importantto me,” Brower comments.‘For me, this is a way of do-ing something worthwhile tohelp the community.”
Brower invites people tostop in and visit with him. “I’mready to meet people,” heconcludes. “I hope thatpeople approach me and in-troduce themselves. I’m al-ways available to meet withpeople and I want to get toknow the water users andcommunity members asquickly as possible.”

People who are taking over-the-countermedications, vitamins, hormone replacements, diet pills, highblood pressure, cholesterol medications, antibiotics for acne,or medications for diabetes CAN donate."
"We encourage people to roll up their sleeves and do-nate at the Watford City blood drive. Here is an opportunity togive a priceless gift that will make a real difference insomeone's life and costs nothing but about an hour of yourtime," Larcombe said.

Healthy Snack Drivefor Boys & Girls Club
A healthy snack for healthy kids is something theRichland County Nutrition Coalition (RCNC) feels is impor-tant. Due to the fact that the Richland County Boys and GirlsClub provides snacks daily for approximately 85 after-schoolchildren and relies on donations, the sixth annual healthysnack drive is under way.
The RCNC is asking that anyone interested in donatinghealthy snacks donate foods low in added sugars or fat suchas fruit cups, hot chocolate mix, peanut butter, jerky, animalcrackers, cereal bars and others. An expanded list of healthysnacks is available at the Boys and Girls Club or the Exten-sion Office. Monetary donations are welcome and are usedfor purchasing fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables,milk and other items.
Sarah Sifers, Boys and Girls Club CPO, said, “Withoutthe support of the community and the Richland County Nutri-tion Coalition, it would be very difficult to serve healthy snacksto such a large number of kids each day.”
This year, Reynolds and Reese and Ray’s IGA grocerystores are helping out by making available pre-filled grocerybags that customers can purchase and then leave at thestore. This makes donating very easy.
Donations can be delivered to the Boys and Girls Clubat Central School, 200 3rd Ave SE, east entrance after noonprior to the end of February. If you have questions contactSara at 433-6763 or Judy at 433-1206.

ROUNDUP, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2012 5
City Of Culbertson Visited By DEQBy Jaimee GreenAreas receiving large
increases in population be-cause of the oil boom thathas hit Northeast Montanaand Western North Dakotaaren’t the only people adapt-ing to the times. As new typesof housing come into the areathe Montana Department ofEnvironmental Quality is ex-periencing growing pains oftheir own as they scrambleto define how these subdivi-sions are to be regulated andhow to fit them into their stat-utes.
In the last 20 years, therehave been less than 30 newlots created in NortheastMontana but with morepeople flooding the area, theDEQ says those numbersare changing.
The DEQ’s Permittingand Compliance Divisionheld an informational meet-ing in Culbertson on Feb. 2at the Roosevelt CountyComplex. With several dozenin attendance, the DEQ wasavailable to explain their rolein the recent oil boom withregards to the public watersupply and waste water andpotential developers, con-sultants and communitymembers interested in thegrowth and housing issuesassociated with the oil devel-opment.
“Some of the things weare seeing don’t fit into any-thing we have defined be-fore. We’ve never seen theman camps and the truckservicing areas and theydon’t fit neatly into our rules.Hopefully in the near futurewe’ll be able to get a betterhandle on what it is we aredealing with,” said StevenKilbreath, DEQ’s permittingand compliance subdivisionbureau.
Some community mem-bers wanted to know why theDEQ couldn’t incorporatenew ways of defining therules and standards to in-clude the man camps andother situations that are cur-
rently a gray area butKilbreath said those rulesand criteria are statutory andchanges have to come fromlegislation.
Under the SanitationSubdivision Act the DEQlooks at the water quality,quantity and dependabilityand the proper disposal ofsewage and storm water anddrainage. Thier four divisionsconsist of planning, permit-ting and compliance, en-forcement and remediation.
The DEQ defines a sub-division as the creation of aparcel but defines it as con-sisting of less than 160 acresthrough the Planning Act andas less than 20 acres throughthe Sanitation Act which typi-cally encompasses trailerand RV parks.
According to Kilbreath,under the Public Water Sup-ply Act, the DEQ regulatessubdivisions if that parcel ofland services a minimum of25 people 60 days out of theyear or if there are two ormore housing units on a par-cel.
The DEQ also statedthat ultimately it is the townsthemselves that determinewhether or not to allow a sub-division access to its publicwater system. It is the DEQthat ensures the town andpersonal systems are com-pliant with state and federalregulations.
An area that needsevaluation is the waste wa-ter treatment plants beingused by incoming busi-nesses. One area of conten-tion is what to do with thehuman waste produced atthese locations. Many incom-ing companies don’t want tospend large amounts ofmoney on waste water treat-ment facilities but insteadprefer the pump and dumpmethod. “One of the things Isee as a hot button becauseof the oil is the public munici-pal waste water capacity. Ithink it’s a major issue and Ithink one of the issues I am
going to take back with me toHelena is that we need tohave inspections done andget these capacities identi-fied and defined,” saidKilbreath.
For anyone planning asubdivision that will use atleast 2,500 gallons of waterper day they will need anengineer for the design. If thewaste water system will re-quire more than 5,000 gal-lons of water per day aground water discharge per-mit will need to be issuedand can take 180 days to re-ceive.
As Montana communi-ties observe what is takingplace in North Dakota withthe rapid growth, Kilbreathstated Montana may be bet-ter equipped to handle someof the influx more smoothlybecause of the County Sani-tation and Subdivision Act.“We are already ahead of thegame compared to NorthDakota because we have thisin place. This gives us a setof minimum standards thateveryone has to work toward.We have big rules for littleprojects and we apply themevenly across the state. Ourapproach is to make sure ourwater is clean and to use avery common sense ap-proach with what is goingon,” Kilbreath stated.
Currently, in Culbertsonthere is some room for addi-tional usage of the publicwater system which is cur-rently capable of 1.3 milliongallons of water per day.However, the Dry Prairie Ru-ral Water System currentlyuses half of that amount tosupply the outlying area resi-dents with drinkable, usablewater. “Until they are operat-ing on their own, there aresome limitations to howmany more people we canhook up to our system. Oncethey are on their own we willhave a lot more room for thekind of growth we may beexpecting,” said CulbertsonMayor Gordon Oelkers.
The current water sys-
tem was built in the early1980s but has had many up-grades since then.
Oelkers said that cur-rently there have been noformal contracts requestedbut there has been a lot oftalk and inquiries.
The sewage lagoon isgetting full and plans are un-derway to secure funding fora $4 million facility through astate rural development fund-ing program. For the last twoyears there has been asewer design project under-way and the project shouldgo up for bid this spring. “Thecurrent system is 50 years oldand its life span has beenused up. The slopes are badand we can no longer con-trol the flow,” Oelkers said.The new design will use asystem of different cells thatcan be shut on and off andwill better service a growingpopulation.
To date there is an esti-mated 900 people living inCulber tson. “We’re reallymaxed out at this point untilmore housing is developed.I think the growth is good. Inthe 1980s we were strug-gling to keep the town aliveand now our businesses arebusy. We just have to be care-ful about how we build. Wewant permanent housing thatadds to our town in a posi-tive way,” Oelkers said.

Dr. DirtGroundhog Day

By Jerome KesslerIn case you didn’t realize it, last Thursday was Ground-
hog Day. February 2nd is the day when a legendary ground-hog (Punxsutawney Phil of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania)comes out of his winter lodging. If he sees his shadow thenthere will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he doesn’tsee his shadow, there will be an early spring. Last year there
was no shadow – yet it turned out to be anything but an earlyspring. This year there was a shadow. That is supposed tomean six more weeks of winter weather.
It turns out that Punxsutawney Phil is wrong about 60%of the time. I believe he will be wrong again this year. Wehave only had about one week of winter weather so far, andeven that was a far cry from what we had last year.
“Groundhog Day” was also the name of a classic movie,released in 1993, that depicts Bill Murray (playing PhilConnors, a condescending newscaster) who was doing aspecial on the legendary rodent from Punxsutawney. Phil isbored with having to do the same story every year, doesn’tput his heart into it, and is “punished” by having to live throughthe same day over and over again. He hates his life – andeven tries to commit suicide. Much to his chagrin, however,he wakes up, day after day, to realize that he has to live theday over again.
Phil eventually realizes that the only way he can get outof “this day” is to try his best at everything he does . . . Hesaves a vagrant’s life, catches a kid falling out of a tree, helpssome little old ladies change a flat tire, buys insurance froman old school acquaintance, learns how to play piano, treatsa disliked co-worker with respect, learns how to genuinelycare for the Punxsutawney townspeople, and falls in love . . .Only genuine love was able to convince the object of hisaffection to believe in him. And finally, after an eternity oftrying, Phil was able to enter into the next day. This “next day”of his life represents the beginning of a new and more genu-ine phase of his life.
I think “Groundhog Day” is one of the best movies of alltime. It is funny, well-acted, and has a great message. Thescreenplay was written by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis.Theirs is the kind of “live better” message that is profoundand yet easy to swallow. My “Dr. Dirt” column occasionallytries to address topics of this nature. I often stumble in myattempt to do so, and stumble even more in my attempt to livein a prescribed manner. But I’ll keep trying. Perhaps my ef-forts to “live a better life” are not unlike yours. It seems that weare all like Phil Collins, the star of “Groundhog Day,” andneed to become motivated to make the most of each day.
