Turkey
By April Wamhoff
Season
A friend of mine reminded me
it’s turkey season in Montana. April
10-May 16 for a male turkey, shotgun
or archery. That sure brings back
memories of my life in Montana.
It was shortly after we moved
to our place by the Milk River that
I had my first experiences with wild
turkeys. After living in town for
almost a year, I was anxious to start
country livin’ again and I put my bird
feeders out. I enjoyed the assortment
of the small, feeder-type, seed eating
birds. It wasn’t long though, and
they were eating me out of house and
home.
Or so I thought.
Very soon I was to discover
the real culprits were a flock of 16
turkeys.
The bandits would come early
in the morning, up from the river
bottom, and raid the feeders. They’d
sit on the wooden fence rail and help
themselves. I think the more acrobatic
ones threw seed on the ground for
the less fortunate ones. If that didn’t
produce enough loot, they’d knock
the feeders off and just all forage from
the ground.

Addressing the budget shortfall NOTICE TO FORT PECK
The Glasgow School Board of Trustees continues WATER DISTRICT CUSTOMERS
to address the budget shortfall to the general fund, the
main source of funding for the District. The Board of Directors of the Fort Peck Rural County
Water District have been made aware that two candidates
On April 23rd the Board met in a work session
for the Director election have distributed candidate

by attrition, saving the district nearly $84,000. This
is in addition to $160,000 in cuts previously made, Board meeting minutes and financial statements are
also through attrition, including three teachers and available to the public for review. Please feel free to contact
one paraprofessional aide. These cuts, along with the office at 406-526-3529. We will be happy to answer
any questions and provide you with detailed information.
the Safety & Security Building Reserve Levy request
of $197,500 currently being put to a public vote, will
allow the District to successfully meet the needs of
students during these trying times. As previously
communicated, the Safety & Security levy is asking for
the additional $197,500, but with decreases in other
permissive levies, the net increase will only be $58,152.
The process of public-school funding is a hard topic
for many people to understand. Schools have different
buckets of monies including permissive (non-voted)
funds for transportation, bus depreciation, retirement,
tuition, & adult education that can only be used for
specific expenses as their name indicates. Another
component of school funding includes levies that are
voted on by the public including the technology fund
and the debt service fund (bonds).
Then there are the general fund and the building
reserve funds that have a combination of voted
and permissive levies. The building reserve fund
is generally for the improvements to buildings, but
recently the security levy has been added and can be
used as a tool to not only cover expenses for safety, but
also give relief to the general fund. The general fund
includes expenses for all the other costs it takes to run
a school including staff salaries & health insurance,
textbooks, utilities, etc. The general fund is the main
funding for the district and includes the “general” day
to day operations of the District. The general fund is
also funded by State monies and is based on a formula
using enrollment numbers, and when enrollment
drops, funding can be greatly affected. This is what
the District is now faced with and the need to make
budget cuts.
The public’s support of schools is very important
to the trustees, staff members, and students. Thank
you for your continued support.

Turkey season continued from front
I started feeding corn, on the ground, to keep them
from destroying my bird-feeders. Some days it worked.
They were fun to watch. I even got to watch a spring
dance?- fight? brawl?- during the spring mating season.
Four tom turkeys were vying for the attention of the
girls. It started with the two smallest ones duke’n it out.
When there was finally a winner, the next biggest tom
stepped up to the plate. All fresh and new, he quickly
dispatched the littler, now tired, one. Then it was the Class Location: Lower Level Conference Room - FMDH To register, contact:

each other. There were times I thought they both would
suffocate and the little guys would actually win out. The
big guy did come out on top in the end, with no actual
fatalities, but they put on a great show getting there!
I hunted turkeys just one season, from a ground
blind. It was a great time calling them in and boy did
they come a runnin’ when they thought there was
another tom turkey in town! And strut their stuff! Oh
yeah!
It’s amazing to watch their heads change color, from
a grey to blue. The all-knowing internet says that this
change “indicates his (tom turkey) level of excitement
or agitation to other turkeys.” Kinda like a mood ring.
They puff out all their body feathers and spread their
tail feathers to form a fan. Supposedly to look bigger
and impress the girls. Well, I was impressed, and I did
get a turkey that year with a nice 7 inch beard.
I’m in good company when I agree with Benjamin
Franklin about the turkey.“A much more respectable
Bird, (than the Bald Eagle)and withal a true original
Native of America.” Ya don’t see turkeys scavaging a
carcus in the roadside ditches. In fairness to the eagle,
food is food, right? Still.....just saying.
I have special memories of when I lived in Montana
and I definitely count my experiences with the turkeys
as one of them. I can’t wait to visit. Soon.
