Westby had an excellent
4-H career where she

and sheep. She left
with numerous awards
and had many awards
throughout her 4-H
career.
The best award is
what 10-years of 4-H
has taught her, and as a
member of the Northern
Lights 4-H Club.
“It has totally
changed who I am,”
Brooke said. “Learning

Coronavirus checks:
Flattening the scam curve
by Karen Hobbs, Assistant Director, Division of
Consumer and Business Education, FTC
There’s a lot to worry about when it comes to the
Coronavirus crisis, including the new ways scammers
are using the economic impact payments (so-called
“stimulus checks”) to trick people. To keep ahead of
scammers who are trying to cash in on those payments,
read on.
Scammers have no shame, and nothing — not even
a global health crisis — is off limits. They’re pitching fake
Coronavirus vaccines, unproven cures, and bogus at-
home testing kits. So, it’s not surprising that scammers are
exploiting confusion about economic impact payments
too. But it’s still shameful.
Most people who qualify for a check will
automatically get it direct deposited by the IRS within
weeks. But as details emerge about how and when
payments will arrive, some scammers may start using
official-looking fake checks to steal money and confuse
people into turning over personal information. Here’s
some information to help avoid fake check scams that
might be arriving soon.
• The check’s not in the mail — yet. Reports say that
paper checks — for people without direct deposit —
will start arriving in May at the earliest. So, if you get
an economic impact payment, stimulus, or relief check
before then, or you get a check when you’re expecting
a direct deposit, it’s a scam.
• The IRS will not send you an overpayment and
make you send the money back in cash, gift cards,
or through a money transfer. If you get an official-
looking check for more than what you were expecting
— say, for $3,000 — the next call you’re likely to get is
from a scammer. They’ll tell you to keep your $1,200
payment, and return the rest by sending cash, gift
cards, or money transfers. It’s a scam that will leave
you owing money to your bank.
• That’s not the IRS calling, texting, or emailing.
Scammers are sending official-looking messages —
including postcards with a password to be used online
to “access” or “verify” your payment or direct deposit
information. The IRS will not contact you to collect
your personal information or bank account. It’s a scam.
For trusted information and updates about IRS
payments – including eligibility, how to sign up for direct
deposit, or where to file a short tax form – always start
with irs.gov/coronavirus. Learn how to avoid scams by
subscribing to the FTC’s consumer alerts, and report
scams to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint.

Blood Drive
While everyone is being asked to avoid mass gatherings, it’s very important to
note that blood drives are not considered “mass gatherings.” Blood drives are
controlled events with trained staff and appropriate safety measures to protect
donors and recipients. Like a hospital, grocery store, or pharmacy, a blood drive
is essential to ensuring the health of the community.
It is possible to practice social distancing and donate blood. In fact, the U.S.
surgeon general has said, “You can still go out and give blood. We’re worried
about potential blood shortages in the future. Social distancing does not
have to mean social disengagement.”
RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES
April 21 • 11:00am – 5:30pm
April 22 • 9:00am – 2:00pm
BOTH drives will be located at the VFW in Glasgow

please visit www.redcrossblood.org or call the American Red Cross at 406-

To all my good friends in Glasgow, Must Be the Camera

I knew eventually I would have to leave home and move
to Billings near my daughter but not this unexpectedly.
Arnie & I started our family in Glasgow 60 years ago and
it has been a Wonderful town to raise our family in and
we will always call Glasgow & St. Raphael our home.
I want to thank everyone, including everyone
at Prairie Ridge for being there for me.

A photographer was invited to dinner with friends and
took along a few pictures to show the lady of the house.
She looked at the photos and commented, ‘These are
great! You must have a really good camera.’
He didn’t make any comment, but as he was leaving to
go home he said, ‘That was a really delicious meal!
........You must have some very good pots and pans.”

Westby continued from front
The judging has helped the market animal
owners, giving them constructive criticism.
“I had faults and had a few things you can fix,”
said Westby. “I knew that going in. We got narrow
on the back side.”
Work starts on the market beef after the calves
are shipped out. She keeps one back for her 4-H
project. That calf is put in with the replacement
heifers. She was also one of the seniors to win a
scholarship.
“We start feeding them in February,” said
Westby.
Her market beef weighed 1.320 pounds and
was sold for $7.50 a pound to Hi-Line Ford. She
also raised a lamb, which she had in December. It
weighed 137 pounds and was sold for $5 a pound to
First Community Bank-Hinsdale.
Two years ago she had a light weight grand
champion lamb, which won lamb rate of gain at 3.61
pounds a day. She also raised a horse, which as a
three-year old won her colt to maturity award. She
also won the horse sportsmanship award and horse
senior reserve champion award. And she was the
round robin senior champion.
This year she won the beef herdsman individual
award, Red Angus live placing and Red Angus steer
grand champion. And, of course, beef overall grand
champion award.
Westby’s advice for the younger 4-H members
is:
“Just stick through it,” she said. “It’s a lot of
work. There are a lot of things you have to do, but
it’s worth it in the end, totally.”
Brooke also has a sister, Blaire, and brother, Ty,
which helped each other.
“Blaire and Ty, they’re both close to me so we
lean on each other,” said Brooke, who did give advice
to both in the past.
