City of Glendive experience bulk water sales increase
By
Eric Killelea
Ranger-Review Staff Writer
The
Glendive Public Works Department has increased its
bulk water sales following the installation of a new
dispensing station.
In
Fiscal Year 2010, the city earned about $5,000 in
revenue through bulk water sales. Since then, revenue
has increased significantly reaching an estimated
$35,000 through March 2012, with three months to go
in the fiscal year.
Gary
Zuroff, Glendive Public Works director, said the increase
should help the city afford certain projects.
"The
revenue goes to the Glendive water enterprise fund
to improve its distribution system and water plant
needs," Zuroff said. "It can help fix old
water lines and help afford capital improvement projects
throughout the city."
The
original dispensing station was located at the Glendive
Water Treatment Plant on 420 West Bell.
Last
summer, Glendive City Council approved the installation
of a new dispensing station at an estimated cost of
$30,000. The station was installed on Utah Avenue
behind the city shop yard, Zuroff said. The city water
fund paid for the cost of the new station.
The
new location is thought to ease accessibility for
trucks while preventing them from damaging city streets.
The
city has 52 bulk water customers, including Badlands
Power Fuels and D & M Water Service. Each has
set up an account with the city and access the dispensing
station using a customer access and security pin before
proceeding to fill their water tanks.
These
customers pay $20 per month base rate to hold the
accounts with the city; $5 per 1,000 gallons under
50,000 gallons per month; and $10 per 1,000 gallons
for all water obtained over 50,000 gallons per month.
City
water has always been a priority for area ranchers
and farmers who purchase bulk water for a variety
of purposes, including irrigation. Today, construction
and oil companies are also buying water for a variety
of purposes.
Reasons
for the oil companies to purchase bulk water include
cleaning equipment and using the water for the drilling
technique known as hydraulic fracturing, which requires
millions of gallons of water to break open rocks far
below the surface and release oil and natural gas.
"We
expect more companies to use potable water from the
municipal water system," Zuroff said. "But
the city residents remain the priority customers."
Although
bulk water has sold well, the increase in dispensing
hasn’t put any stress on the municipal water
system, according to Zuroff.
The
city has sold 2 million gallons of water this year,
Zuroff said. That is 20,000 gallons per day; the city
produces an average of 1 million gallons per day for
its residents.
"We
can produce a lot more water," he said. "We
often produce 3 million gallons per day during the
summer. And if we remove bottle necks in the water
plant, we can produce about 7 million gallons per
day."

Glendive
resident claims$150,000 lottery ticket
By
Chad Knudson
Ranger-Review Staff Writer
Glendive
resident Ray Novotny flew to Helena Friday to claim
the largest Montana Cash lottery prize awarded since
January, according to Montana Lottery officials.
Novotny
purchased a $150,000 jackpot winning ticket at Albertson’s
in Glendive last week. He said he checked his ticket
at the store Thursday morning.
"Ol‘
Kelly [Sullivan] about went up in smoke when he saw
it," Novotny said. "He said ‘I think
you won the big one.’"
On an interview Tuesday, Novotny said he has played
the lottery for about 10 years. He buys $5 worth of
tickets once or twice a week. He said $5 gets you
10 lines of five numbers.
"You
gotta have all five to win the big prize," he
said, adding he has won a couple of $200 prizes over
the years.
The
process of claiming the prize was smooth, he said.
He took the new Silver Airways’ flight to Helena,
which he said was cheaper than driving and took him
there and back in the same day.
Once
in Helena the process of filling out paperwork to
redeem his ticket only took about half an hour, he
said.
"I
walked up to the window and they must have known I
was coming, because there were a lot of big smiles,"
he said.
Novotny
said the most challenging part of the experience was
getting a taxi back to the airport.
"That
was really something," he said. "Even though
we had to call [multiple times] they weren’t
shy about charging."
A
Montana Lottery officials said the overall odds of
winning anything in the Montana Cash game are 1 in
43. It is a game only played within Montana, unlike
Powerball and other multi-state games.
A
lottery official said the game started in May 1991,
and there have been a handful of big winners in Glendive
since then.
The
last winner over $100,000 in Glendive was a $110,000
prize in December 2003. The biggest prize in Glendive
to date was a $253,600 jackpot in October 1995. An
$80,000 prize was awarded in Glendive last fall.
Novotny
said he paid a third of his winnings in taxes, but
he is hopeful of reclaiming part of that when the
1099 arrives and he files his tax return next year.
"I
wasn’t complaining," he said. "You
get that kind of money out of the blue sky; there’s
nothing wrong with that."
Novotny
said he was going to see an investment advisor Tuesday.
He wants to save the money to get an annual return
that will subsidize his Social Security.
He
said he and his wife have recently incurred some unexpected
expenses due to health issues and the money will really
help.
"When
you are on Social Security, the ends don’t always
meet very well," he said. "Now we’ll
be okay."
Novotny
said he has a lot more friends than he knew, but they
aren’t holding out their hands other than to
offer congratulations.
"A
lot of people are glad to see some money coming back
to this side of the state," he said.
His
advice for other lottery enthusiasts is to be careful.
"Don’t
spend too much," he said. "I was just lucky,
that’s all."
He
also said his winning ticket came from a "quick
pick" number, adding he doesn’t have time
to mess around picking numbers.
Novotny
isn’t sure whether he’ll keep buying tickets.
"I
suppose everybody’ll be out buying Montana Cash
tickets now," he said. "I wish ’em
luck."

Council
addresses population growth issues
By
Chad Knudson
Ranger-Review Staff Writer
The
Glendive City Council addressed several issues related
to expected population growth Tuesday night.
An
ordinance was adopted amending chapter 7-2-5 of city
code regarding the bulk storage of liquefied petroleum
gases.
The
ordinance prohibits storage tanks holding more than
100 pounds in most areas of the city.
Fire
Chief George Lane requested the ordinance in an effort
to address increased mobile home presence in the city.
He
said his concern is for mobile home parks which fill
up and result in a high population density.
If
many homes in close proximity utilize large bulk storage
tanks, there is significant danger, he said.
At
an ordinance committee meeting last week, city department
heads expressed concerns the restriction was too strict
for some long-standing Glendive activities.
Public
Works Director Gary Zuroff mentioned some booths at
the fairgrounds utilize large bulk storage.
Assistant
Public Works Director Jack Rice said street crews
regularly use equipment which can utilize more than
200 pounds in a single day.
"With
any ordinance we try to make reasonable exceptions,"
Mayor Jerry Jimison told the committee.
In
an effort to make accommodations, the council agreed
to exempt areas zoned AG, which denotes agriculture-focused
areas, which includes the fairgrounds. They also agreed
to require those using portable equipment needing
more than 100 pounds to obtain a permit from the Glendive
Fire Department. This allows Lane to make decisions
on a case-by-case basis.
Other
exemptions are made for industrial areas within the
city.
The
council also adopted resolutions implementing the
city’s revised special improvement district policy.
Under
the policy, the city will bond for projects up to
$200,000 for residential projects and up to $300,000
for commercial projects.
In
order to qualify, the project must be within a developed
annexed property, according to the ordinance. This
means the area is already within the city limits,
is already platted and has at least 51 percent occupied
structures.
An
administrative fee equal to 3 percent of the total
construction cost will be assessed. A deposit of $5,000
will be collected to cover city expenses in the event
the SID is not established.
As
previously reported, the goal of the new program is
to complete street infrastructure in limited areas
of the city that remain unfinished.
It
is also expected to be utilized as previously established
subdivisions are further built out or completed.
The
council received a letter from Glendive City Attorney
Scott Herring regarding the use of camper trailers
as residences within the city limits.
According
to the letter, Herring believes there is an existing
ordinance that expressly deals with the issue.
Members
of the council did not discuss the issue further.
The
next meeting of the council is scheduled for 7 p.m.,
May 15.

Tennis
teams improve records
By
Eric Killelea
Ranger-Review Staff Writer
The
Dawson County High School tennis teams improved their
season records, winning most matches on May 4-5 at
the Billings Mayfair Tournament.
Overall,
the boys’ varsity team posted a perfect dual
record. The Red Devils went 5-0 with wins over Billings
Central, Lewistown, Hardin and Cody, Wyo.
"Their
season dual record now stands at 14-4," Coach
Rich Lindgren said. "Garth Roe and Dennis Berg
were 5-0 in the tournament at No. 2 doubles and Gavin
McPherson was 5-0 in the tournament at No. 2 singles."
Despite
the team wins, the boys lost several key matches to
a strong Hardin program.
"Hardin’s
No. 1 doubles team defeated Blake Stanhope and Nick
Burman 8-2 in a rain-shortened indoor match earning
a 2-1 edge over the Glendive duo for the season,"
Lindgren said. "The match dropped the team to
4-1 at No. 1 doubles."
Overall,
the girls’ varsity team finished 5-1, defeating
Billings Central, Lewistown, Dillon and Cody, Wyo.
The Lady Red Devils suffered their only loss to Hardin.
Their
season dual record now stands at 13-5-2. Morgan Opp
remains undefeated for the season at 20-0. Teammate
Jordan Johnson also won her tournament matches, which
improved her record to 15-5.
Hardin
defeated Glendive, Billings Central, and Miles City
in the tournament to increase their hold on the team
favorite in the Eastern A Division.
"After
missing the Elk’s Invitational April 27-28 due
to weather, the teams needed court time," Lindgren
said. "With the rain out in Glendive, Hardin,
Billings Central and Lewistown rescheduled matches
on Saturday, indoors and their extra court time was
evident this weekend."
The
next scheduled match for the DCHS tennis teams is
Friday, May 11 at the Miles City Invitational.

The
Lady Red Devils cruised to a team win at the Miles
City Invitational track & field meet on Saturday.
The Glendive ladies used the strength of eight first
place finishes and four second place finishes to accumulate
126 points.
Sidney
finished second with 99.5 points. Glendive scored
points in 13 of the 17 events. The Lady Devils were
only shut out in the three throwing events and in
the 3200 meter run.
"The
girls had an outstanding effort and enjoyed the win,
but they are focused on bigger goals down the road,"
Coach Mike Dryden said.
Melissa
Lynn, Alysse Charlesworth and Faith Kjelstrup were
all double-winners in individual events for DCHS.
Lynn claimed her wins in the two hurdle events (100
hurdles 16.16, 300 hurdles 49.67). Charlesworth won
both the high jump (5-0) and the triple jump (35-1.5).
Kjeslstrup ran to a win in the 200 (26.49) and had
the furthest jump in the long jump (16-10.75).
The
Lady Red Devils also swept both relay races. In the
short relay, Glendive ran half a second faster the
Hardin to win this race with a time of 52.8. In the
1600 relay, the Lady Devils––Faith Kjestrup,
Allysse Charlesworth, Melissa Lynn Casey Robson––were
over five seconds ahead of runner-up Billings Central.
The Lady Devils’ time was 4:23.41
The
four second place finishes were turned in by Robson
in the 400 (1:01.82) and the long jump (16-0.75),
Copp in the 1600 (5:49.05) and Kjelstrup in the 100
(12.75).
Bryant
Grimes once again won the boys’ pole vault for
the Red Devils. This was the lone first place finish
for the DCHS boys. Josh Reed picked up a second place
finish for the Devils. Grimes cleared the bar at 13-0
in the pole vault while Reed leaped 20-0 in the long
jump. Grimes led four Red Devils who placed in the
pole vault.
Matt
Keltgen placed in two events for Glendive and Reed
added two other places to his day’s total. Keltgen
ran a 4:46.31 to place third in the 1600. Later his
10:35.72 in the 3200 was good for a fourth place finish.
Reed was fourth in the 400 (52.45) and fifth in the
triple jump (39-8.25).
Tanner
Gay, Taylor Schwartz and Colter Bachmeier were the
other three Red Devils who placed in the top six in
the pole vault. Gay went over the bar at 12-6. Schwartz
and Bachmeier cleared 12-0 and 11-0 respectively.
"The
boys can definitely improve on this performance but
we still need to get beyond some of our injuries,"
Dryden said.

The
teams battled the rain on Saturday and then the wind
on Sunday but when all was said and done Miles Community
College swept four games in the two days over Dawson
Community College. The Pioneers won the two games
on Saturday on their home field. The Bucs hosted on
Sunday at Meisner Field but MCC still game away with
two wins.
The
closest game of the four-game set was the opening
game on Saturday. The Buccaneers scored first with
a run in the top of the 1st inning. DCC would then
add a run in the fourth inning and another in the
fifth to take a 3-0 lead. The big blow to the hopes
of a win for the Bucs came in the bottom of the fifth
when Miles came up with five runs. They would add
two more in the sixth while shutting down the Bucs
bats to post a 7-3 win.
Hunter
Balmer had two hits for the Buccaneers as did Jake
Loundagin. Balmer had a homerun and drove in two runs.
Todd Cabrera had a double for the Bucs with a run
scored and one RBI.
The
Pioneers used a five-run fourth to put the game away
in the second matchup on Saturday. The game went just
five innings as MCC posted an 11-1 victory. The Bucs
were limited to just two hits in the contest while
the Pioneers wrapped out eight base hits.
Jesse
Gullion, the Bucs first baseman, had both of the DCC
hits. Sean Robinson drove in Gullion for the Bucs
only run of the game.
Miles scored in every inning in the first ballgame
on Sunday in Glendive. MCC held a 3-0 advantage after
the first two innings but then exploded for 12 runs
over the next three innings to come away with a 15-0
decision.
The
Buccaneers were held hitless in this game by the Pioneers
pitcher, T. Johnson. MCC had 12 hits in the game including
a homerun. Andy Hopson was the losing pitcher for
DCC.
In
the final game of the four-game series the Bucs fell
behind 8-0 after just the first inning and could never
recover. The Pioneers went on to complete the sweep
with a 17-6 win. MCC had 12 base hits in the contest
while DCC had 8.
Robison
and Skyler Dietsche had two hits apiece for the Dawson
squad. Robison scored two runs and also drove in one.
Robinson’s two hits were both doubles. Edwin
Colon had two RBIs for DCC with a double.

meet in Glasgow on Tuesday. This annual meet is for
the top performers in each of the 17 track & field
events and features athletes from Class A, B &
C schools in the region.
In

Kjelstrup, Alysse Charlesworth, Melissa Lynn and Kasey
Robson. The 4x400 team was made up of Austyn Copp,
Lynn, Charlesworth and Robson.
Kjelstrup’s
winning leap in the long jump was 16-03. Kjelstrup
and her teammates winning time in the 4x100 relay
was under 52 seconds. She added to her outstanding
day with a second place finish in both the 100 meters
and 200 meters.
Reed
added a second place finish in the 400 meters to his
win in the long jump. Reed’s best jump in the
long jump was 20-01. The Red Devils 4x100 relay team
finished in 4th. The Red Devil runners in this relay
were Alan Walstad, Colter Bachmeier, Reed and Cedric
Melton.

one of the girls’ events. Copp’s 2nd place
came in the 1600 meters, Lynn picked up a 2nd in the
100 hurdles and Charlesworth’s 2nd place came

with a 2nd place in this event.
The
rest of the Lady Devils to place in the top four were
Lynn (4th 300 hurdles), Charlesworth (4th high jump)
and Robson (3rd pole vault).
Matt
Keltgen and Kasey Stedman both picked up a 4th place
finish. Keltgens’ place came in the 3200 meters
while Stedman’s came in the shot put.
