Up to bat on Cal Ripken FieldAfter the games in Williston were cancelled last Thursday, the Scotties will finally be back in action this Thursday at home as Lewistown comes to town. The varsity game starts

at 3:30 and will be a good tune-up before heading to the Belgrade Invitational April 10th and 11th. Pictured above swinging the bat is Scotty sophomore Kiauna Barstad.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collects data about mortality in the U.S.,

AFSP to host workshops at FMDH

including deaths by suicide. In 2013 (the most recent year for which full data are available), 41,149 suicides were reported, making suicide the 10th leading cause of death for Americans (Figure 1). In that year, someone in the country died by suicide every 12.8 minutes. In fact, after cancer and heart disease, suicide

Montanas verified wolf population declined by 73, 12 percent, last year while livestock depredations by wolves continued to decline, dropping about 46 percent from 2013. The minimum number of wolves counted by FWP at the end of 2014 was 554 compared to a minimum of 627 wolves counted at the end of 2013 according to Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks annual wolf conservation and management report released Monday. Montanas minimum wolf packs were counted at 134, compared to 152 last year, while breeding pairs increased to 33 from 28 counted last year. The minimum wolf count is the number of wolves actually verified by FWP wolf specialists. The actual number of wolves is estimated to be 27 percent to 37 percent higher than the minimum count. FWPs complete report is available online at fwp.mt.gov. Overall, FWP Director Jeff Hagener said Montanas wolf

population continues to be very healthy and far above federal recovery goals. Among the best news is that confirmed wolf depredations on livestock again took a significant drop in 2014, said Hagener. Confirmed livestock depre-dations due to wolves included 35 cattle, 6 sheep and one horse in 2014, down 46 percent from 2013 loses of 50 cattle, 24 sheep, three horses and one goat. Cattle losses in 2014 were the lowest recorded in the past eight years. The decline in wolf depredations continues a general downward trend that began in 2009. For FWP, and we hope for others, it reinforces the fact that we not only have more tools for managing wolf populations, but that were applying them effectively, Hagener said. One of our top priorities is to minimize livestock losses, and we think were continuing to make a positive impact there. The continuing decrease in livestock depredations over the

past four years may be a result of several factors including targeted wolf depredation responses in cooperation with USDA Wildlife Servicesand the effects of wolf harvest by hunters and trappers. Two hundred and thirteen wolves were taken by hunters and trappers in the 2014 calendar portion of the 2014-15 hunting/trapping season compared to 231 taken in the 2013 calendar portion of the 2013-14 season. The total number of known wolf mortalities during 2014 was 308, down from 335 in 2013, with 301 of these mortalities being human-related, including 213 legal harvests, 57 control actions to further reduce livestock depredations (down from 75 in 2013), 11 vehicle strikes, 10 illegal killings, 6 killed under the newly-enacted Montana State Senate Bill 200, 2 capture related mortalities, 1 euthanized due to poor health and 1 legal tribal harvest. In addition, 1 wolf died of natural causes and 6 of unknown causes.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Missouri River Basin Water Management Division is decreasing the annual runoff forecast for the Missouri River Basin above Sioux City, Iowa, to 20.3 million acre feet (MAF), which is 80 percent of normal and 4.9 MAF less than average. The decreased forecast is due to below normal mountain snowpack and the lack of plains snow in the basin. While below normal runoff is expected, the reservoirs are well positioned to meet all of the authorized purposes this year, says Jody Farhat, chief of the Missouri River Basin Water Management Division. The Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System is designed and operated to provide the Corps with the necessary flexibility to adjust for varying conditions. The total volume of water stored in the reservoir system is 57.6 MAF, 1.5 MAF into the 16.3-MAF annual flood control and multiple use zone. Above normal temperatures coupled with below normal precipitation patterns have stalled mountain snowpack accumulation and melted the plains snow. As of April 1, mountain snowpack was 68 percent of normal in the reach above Fort Peck Dam and 74 percent of normal in the reach between Fort Peck and Garrison dams. Mountain snowpack appears to have peaked nearly a month earlier than normal this year in the reaches above the Fort Peck and Garrison dams. The mountain snowpack typically peaks in mid-April, and runoff from the melting snow enters the reservoir system from May through July. Steady-to-rising reservoir levels during the forage fish spawn at the three, large upper reservoirs (Fort Peck, Garrison and Oahe) are preferred but may be difficult to accomplish without significant rainfall in the Missouri River Basin during the coming weeks. If the runoff distribution allows, the Corps will set releases to result in steady to rising pools at Fort Peck and Oahe dams. The forage fish spawn generally occurs from early April through mid-June. The Corps will continue to monitor the plains and mountain snowpack, basin soil conditions and rainfall events to fine tune the regulation of the reservoir system based on the most up-to-date information.

Baby Makers Rich Hjort shows off a nice female walleye on a chilly day during FWPs annual Fort Peck walleye spawn. As of Sunday they had collected 3.2 million eggs from 26 females, and now that the weather is taking another turn for the better, things should be looking up to hit a goal of 50 million walleye eggs before its done. Pictured below is some great help from Tim, Justin, and Carl Zabrocki. Anyone wishing to volunteer some time can contact contact Fort Peck biologist Heath Headley at 406-526-3471, EXT 206. Volunteers are the main reason this has been so successful over the years, he says.

accounts for more years of life lost than any other cause of death. Heres an even more alarming statistic: in 2013, Montana was ranked #1 in the nation for the highest suicide rate among states, according to the American Association of Suicidology. Simply stated, Montana has experienced too many suicides losses in the past. The Montana Chapter of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is hosting two workshops in Glasgow next week. On Monday evening, April 13, is a suicide prevention training class for everyone, called safeTALK. On Tuesday, April 13, is an all day workshop for helping others survive the loss of a loved one to suicide. This all day workshop is for counselors, pastors, and survivors of suicide loss. Both of these classes are free, but preregistration is required. Mondays class will be held from 6-9 p.m. at the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital. safeTALK is a training that prepares anyone to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help to stay safe. Alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety. Space is limited to 30 participants (must be 16 or older) and you can register by contacting Joan Nye by e-mailing joannye@iwks.net or by calling her at 406-321-0591. On Tuesday, the event Suicide Loss Support Group Facilitator Training Workshop will be held from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at FMDH. This class is geared to counselors, pastors, and survivors of suicide loss, to learn how to facilitate support group for suicide loss bereavement. Survivors of suicide loss also will benefit from and are needed for this workshop, even if they dont think they could facilitate a support group, because they learn that they are not alone, learn why they feel the way they do, and learn some things that have helped other survivors of this loss along the journey of healing after suicide loss. Space for this class is limited to 15 participants, so register now by contacting Joan Nye: joannye@iwks.net or call her at 406-321-0591.
