What's in the Water?
On a sunny late afternoon in Conrad on Sept. 23, people came to voice their opinions at an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hearing on the injection of bio-aviation fuel wastewater by Montana Renewables into two injection wells. They waited patiently through the slide presentation by the four EPA representatives from Denver. The hearing was held to present the revised portion of the permit for the two wells on Jody and Bonnie Field's property west of Valier. At an earlier hearing, attendees had objected to the potential migration of the wastewater to the permit's quarter mile radius from the wells. The EPA took the objections back to the drawing board and revised the permit to expand migration of the wastewater to a 2.1-mile area. The short comment period first set by the EPA was expanded to October 13, at the request of Pondera County commissioners. A court reporter recorded the hearing and a transcription will be available at http://www.regulations.gov.

Importance of vaccinating pets against rabies in Montana
Rabies, conveyed primarily through bites from infected wildlife like bats and skunks, can lead to fatal conditions once symptoms manifest. In Montana, there has been a staggering rise in rabies cases this year, with 23 animals testing positive from July to September, nearly matching the total cases from the previous year. State records indicate over 140 confirmed rabies cases in the last decade. This alarming trend emphasizes the necessity for preventive measures. To combat this, the city shelter is organizing its annual free rabies vaccination clinic this Sunday, which is open not just to residents of Great Falls but also to those from surrounding communities. Given that rabies is completely preventable, pet owners are encouraged to participate, regardless of whether their pets are indoor or outdoor animals. Vaccination is critical for ensuring community health and preventing potential outbreaks, highlighting the importance of addressing this issue promptly.
