They re-did all the numbers for us,
track angles, finish line and all the
other stuff. It's kind of a big deal
for me to be able to salute them for
what they do. People have no idea
how much they do there."
"It's pretty neat," said Norm
Girard.
Norm Girard has been a
fixture in the Glasgow school
system as a teacher, coach and
now a volunteer. Kim Girard has
also been in the school system as
a teacher after spending time in
Saco and Nashua. They are both
retired, but keep volunteering at
the track and field meet. You can
find them working the long and
triple jump events.
Norm taught in Glasgow
for 28 years (he was the biology
teacher, and you didn't want to
be one of his "dead geraniums")
and Kim taught in Glasgow for
27 years. Kim taught in an Adult
Learning Center in her home state
of New York.
"He's been there back in the
'70s and '80s," said Phillips.
"Norm doesn't coach part of
the coaching staff any more," said
Kim Girard. "Every track meet he
works he helps every kid that is
long or triple jumping. Years ago
one of the coaches from a small
school brought one of their kids
over to where we were working and
he said 'this is Mr. Girard, you do
whatever he tells you to do.'"
For the record Norm came
to Glasgow in 1972. He taught in
Winnett before coming to Glasgow.
Since that time he has been an
assistant coach to Dan Freund, the
late Bob Farrell, and Mark Yoakam.

Norm coached three sports
in Winnett before coming to
Glasgow. He has also been an
MHSA basketball official since
1975 and still does some games.
He was inducted into the Hall of
Fame. He and Mark Yoakam were
referee partners before Yoakam
left Glasgow.
"We were partners for 25 years.
Now I do some games and help out
with the Jeff Jurgens Tournament,"
he said. "We did games all over this
corner of the state."
And by the way, Norm and
Kim still do the track meets so
they can be close to the kids.
"I try to help the coaches, but
they don't listen well," said Norm.
"He can run circles around
me," said Phillips.
Kim also teaches ice skating
and they both walk around Heather
Lane for more exercise, cleaning up
the neighborhood as they go.
By the way, they have fantastic
Christmas decorations outside
their home and they have an
unbelievable, must-see Christmas
Village inside. Norm and Kim's
home is also a trick-or-treater's
favorite stop on Halloween.
They define community
pride!

$7 Million invested to Support Child Care Workforce

The Department of Public Health and Human
Services (DPHHS) announced a $7 million
investment in workforce incentive funding for
Monana child care providers and staff.
Recommended by Montana’s ARPA Health
Advisory Commission and subsequently approved
by Governor Greg Gianforte, the funding will be
distributed in two rounds beginning this month.
DPHHS Director Adam Meier said it’s intended to
provide an incentive now for those working in child
care, and then provide additional incentives for
those who remain working in child care later this
year.
Meier said eligible providers and staff can
receive up to $1,600 through the incentive program.
Approved providers are eligible now to receive
$600 for the first round of payments, and those
remaining in child care are encouraged to submit
for a second payment of $1,000 in December 2022.
New child care professionals are eligible to submit
for one payment of $600 in December as well.
Nearly 2,600 individuals will receive their first
$600 payment next week.
Meier said that licensed and registered
Montana child care businesses, including small
home environments and large centers serve
22,000 children across the state. About 1,200 early
childhood businesses across Montana employ 4,400
child care providers
ABC Academy of Helena is one of the providers
that will benefit from this funding opportunity. “My
staff and I are extremely thankful for this support,”
said ABC Academy Director Tasha Van Nice. “It’s
our goal each and every day to provide the best
environment possible to help children grow and
learn, and the positive impact of this funding to our
business will be long lasting.”
More information about this program and the
Gianforte Administration’s current activities to
bolster Montana’s child care system can be found at
childcare.mt.gov.
DPHHS is partnering with the Early Childhood
Project at Montana State University to offer the child
care workforce retention/incentive payments. More
information about this partnership is available at
mtecp.org, or by contacting ecp@montana.edu or
406-404-1624.
Background:
Last year, at the governor’s direction, DPHHS made
more than $61 million in federal funding available
to stabilize Montana child care providers. Currently,
58% of that funding has been obligated. Eligible
providers who have not yet applied for stabilization
funding are encouraged to do so in July. To date,
the program has contracted with 502 child care
providers serving just under 13,000 Montana kids.
DPHHS has issued an RFP, seeking proposals to
address child care gaps in communities throughout
the state. Proposals are due June 10, 2022. Available
funding for the project is up to $15 million total for
all funded projects. The target is for 15-20 different
innovation projects, funded up to $1 million each,
based on the demand and details in proposals
submitted.
Orwellian ‘misinformation’ board must be disbanded
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen called
on the Biden administration to disband its Orwellian
“Disinformation Governance Board” before it further
chills free speech, calling it “unconstitutional, illegal,
and un-American.”
In a letter to Department of Homeland Security
Secretary Mayorkas, Attorney General Knudsen and 19
other state attorneys general decried the administration’s
attack on the First Amendment. The creation of a
“Disinformation Governance Board” violates the
constitutional freedoms that state attorneys general are
responsible for defending.
“The Disinformation Governance Board, by its very
existence, and almost certainly by design, threatens to
‘enforce silence’ when Americans wish to express views
disfavored by the Administration. It is therefore already
chilling free speech and impeding the political process,”
the letter states. “This is unconstitutional, illegal, and
un-American. Unless you turn back now and disband
this Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board
immediately, the undersigned will have no choice but to
consider judicial remedies to protect the rights of their
citizens.”
The board’s creation itself, which has been compared
to the “Ministry of Truth” from George Orwell’s novel
1984, abridges a citizen’s right to express their opinions
and disagree with the government, furthering self-
censorship rather than protecting freedom of speech.
The board’s creation is also another example of federal
overreach from the Biden administration as there is no
statutory authority to support it.
Portions of the letter sent to Homeland Security remedies to protect the rights of their citizens.
Secretary Mayorkas reads:
The existence of the Disinformation Governance
Board will inevitably have a chilling effect on free
speech. Americans will hesitate before they voice their
constitutionally protected opinions, knowing that the
government’s censors may be watching, and some will
decide it is safer to keep their opinions to themselves. The
resulting damage to our political system and our culture
will be incalculable: as a democracy, our political debates
and decisions are supposed to take place in the public
square, where every citizen can participate, rather than
in government office buildings where hand-picked and
unaccountable partisan committees are insulated
from public supervision and criticism.

Board’s creation is also highly suspect. For years, many
have defended Twitter’s open censorship of voices hostile
to the elite consensus by arguing that private companies
enjoy the right to determine what is said on their
platforms. This argument only works, however, if those
private companies are not censoring on the government’s
behalf. By its own admission, the Biden Administration
has been “flagging problematic posts” on social media and
coordinating with the private sector to regulate Americans’
free speech.2 The President of the United States publicly
urged social media companies to police “misinformation
and disinformation” on their platforms.3 Suddenly, just
as Elon Musk prepares to acquire Twitter with the stated
purpose of correcting the platform’s censorship of free
speech, you announce the creation of the Disinformation
Governance Board. As the Biden Administration
apparently loses a critical ally in its campaign to suppress
speech it deems “problematic,” you have created a new
government body to continue that work within the federal
government. The contemporaneous occurrence of these
two events is hard to explain away as mere coincidence.
It instead raises serious questions about the extent of
the Biden Administration’s practice of coordinating with
private-sector companies to suppress disfavored speech.
One more time: ... The Disinformation Governance
Board, by its very existence, and almost certainly by
design, threatens to “enforce silence” when Americans
wish to express views disfavored by the Administration.
This is unconstitutional, illegal, and un-American.
Unless you turn back now and disband this Orwellian
Disinformation Governance Board immediately, the
undersigned will have no choice but to consider judicial
