On January 8th and 9th the EQC (Environmental Quality Council) had its meeting in Helena. I currently am the Chairmen. The EQC has oversight on FWP (Fish Wildlife & Parks), DNRC (Dept. of Natural Resources) and DEQ (Dept. of Environmental Quality). There are several important issues that affect us Montanans, especially in northcentral and northeastern Montana, that the EQC has on its table. The EQC is a bipartisan committee made up of eight Republicans and eight Democrats. The Sage Grouse right now is the latest problem child. The federal government under the guise of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, with the great assistance of big environmental groups, is attempting to list this bird as an endangered species. There is no shortage of this bird in Montana (confirmed by Montana FWP), but because there are fewer birds than in other states the Feds want to put this onus on Montana as well! The Governor has appointed a Sage Grouse Council to hold hearings around the state to come up with solutions for this problem perpetrated by the Feds and these wild eyed environmental parties! The state of Wyoming has had a plan in place and NOW the Feds want an even stricter plan for Montana. Under the plan presented to the EQC this simply could and would be a TAKING of private property rights! The Montana FWP has so far had no inclination to stop hunting these birds. So I have had a bill draft in since last year to stop hunting these birds this might help satisfy the feds. The Governor, FWP and the FWP Commission could stop this hunt anytime, but they have not done so far as I believe they do not want to give up their paltry revenue on these bird licenses. The Sage Grouse is a here we go again problem. If it isnt the bird it is bison or some other problem that they want to foist upon us in our area. I told the Governors rep. to tell the Gov. to tell the feds to go to hell and go to bat for us Montanans as this is where we make a living and live. Do not listen to comments from out of state, but listen to us in Montana! Allowing a listing by the feds could have the impact of stopping development on your land such as farming, ranching or natural resource development and I believe this is the root of the listing. You have all seen and read of the thousands of acres continued on next page

that have been locked up due to FWPs action on the bison issue and the buying of ranches like the Milk River Ranch. If this trend continues we land owners will lock up many more thousands as that is the only recourse land owners have. It is easier to bury a bird than a grizzly bear! The DNRC again attempted by rule to circumvent the legislature on the exempt water wells. The vote was 13 to 3, but if you are still thinking about drilling a water well on your property do it within the next six months as who knows what the DNRC will do next. FWP wants more money (what is new) and yet in an audit they have been allowing land owners who have given conservation easements which allows access to hunters, etc., to collect block management monies. FWP spent over 2 million dollars in 10-12 years on this program. I do not blame the landowners for taking this money, but FWP could have spent on average another $200,000.00 per year on block management leases to allow sportsmen access to other private lands! FWP was written up on 6 of the 7 issues the Audit Committee addressed on the block management program. And, now I have just read in the paper the FWP and the FWP Commission want to buy more land and easements around the Milk River Ranch and they want more money and yet cannot manage what they have. When I was questioned by one Senator at our meeting, what can we do, my answer was the only way you get the FWPs attention is for the legislature to cut their budget. They did it in Wyoming and it worked. These were just a few of the weighty problems at our last meeting and I thought you should know. With the last reapportionment on legislative lines my senate district now comprises 282 miles of the 545 miles of shared border with Canada. That is a little over 50% of the border with Canada, running from the North Dakota line to as far west as straight north of Hingham on Highway #2. I welcome parts of Hill and Blaine County to my district. ~ Sen. John Brenden

highly desirable employees in todays modern workforce. Skills learned in Technical Education courses prepare students to continue their education with a much higher degree of focus and direction for their career goals. The TSA officers presentation explained what TSA is, what the association has taught them, as well as the great effects House Bill 86 has on their organization. The benefits of HB 86 has allowed Montana TSA to make many changes such as increased leadership opportunities, addition of new events at the state conference such as the VEX robotics competition and funds for increased recruiting. Montana TSA has seen a 300% membership increase this year adding nine new chapters. TSA State officers attending include President Trent Noel of Harlem, Vice-President Denton Cornell of Harlem, Secretary Kourtney Simonson of Whitewater, Treasurer Colter Lammerding of Saco, Sergeant at Arms Andrew Fransen of Glasgow, and Reporter Gus Bornemann of Livingston. State TSA Advisors are Craig Todd of Harlem, and Dwight Freeman of Saco.
