was buried through his property. The
pipeline was broken during the
weekend, and the ranch south of
Hugelen's lost its water service.
Hugelen said the water did not af-
fect his buildings, as they are located
a few feet higher than the surround-
ing area. He said he's been ranching
at the site for 25 years, and this is the
highest the water has been.
According to the National
Weather Service, that last highest
river level at Medora was 16.52 feet
on March 28, 1978. The highest on
record was 20.5 feet on March 23,
1947.
Prior to the weekend, the Na-
tional Weather Service's Advanced
Hydrologic Prediction Service esti-
mated that the river's level could
reach 17.2 feet.
That estimate prompted special
meetings of the Medora City Council
and Billings County Commission on
Friday afternoon, April 17, and again
on Saturday morning, April 18.
The river spilled over its bank
twice in March, due to ice jams. An
issue was that the gauge on the river
wasn't operating at the time, and so
it wasn't known how the river level
seen in March corresponded to cur-
rent readings, said Pat Rummel, the
county's emergency manager. The
U.S. Geological Survey maintains
the gauge.
Friday afternoon, arrangements
were made to have 11 county trucks
go to Bismarck to pick up 7,000
filled sandbags that had been pre-
pared for flooding there. "We were
concentrating on (getting) the full
ones because we don't have a lot of
people," said Rummel. Medora's
population is about 100.
Friday evening, county officials
used handheld GPS units to deter-
mine various elevations around
Medora. The elevation readings
were compared to a reading near
the river, and with a little math, it
was determined how much of a rise
in water was needed to reach
homes or businesses in Medora it-
self.
The road that runs north into
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
also serves as a dike. Officials for a
time discussed building an earthen
dike on the road if needed.
Friday, another concern was the
condition of a dam in the area of
Ekalaka, Mont., but Rummel said he
was later assured that the dam was
stable.
Saturday morning, officials de-
cided if the river reached 18 feet or
more they would reconvene for an-
other meeting. Mayor Doug Ellison
said the plan was to send law en-

Crew surveys No. 10
A crew of surveyors and engi-
neers has been busy the past several
weeks working on Highway No. 10
west of the state line, and from re-
ports they are surveying for the new
super highway that will run about a
mile north of Beach.
The surveyors' stakes leave the
highway at the first curve west of the
state line and cut across the field east
indicating the spot where the new
highway will join the present No. 10
Highway.
This new road is being built in
sections and it looks now as if Mon-
tana will be getting some of its work
done before construction starts in
this community.
The F. A. Kilwein Co. of Dickin-
son was apparently the low bidder
on the road construction work,
which included grading of 3.9 miles
of road near Beach. Kilwein's bid
was $20,756 for a stretch of farm-
to-market road going north from
U.S. Highway 10, two miles east of
Beach.

forcement through town to notify
residents if the level Of 18 feet was
being reached.
Sunday, at Badlands Ministries,
water was starting to flow under the
camp's tent platforms, but the camp
was otherwise not affected. A road
around the camp is at 17 feet, which
protects the camp to that level. Camp
buildings are at 19 feet, said Bad-
lands Ministries Director Brent
Seaks.
Southwest of Medora, Dee
Baertsch said her home and build-
ings and that of her sister, Sandy,
were spared this time. Floodwater
had affected their buildings twice in
March.
"It actually happened to be a to-
tally different event," said Dee
Baertsch. "This was not quite as
scary."
A previous difference was river
ice that tended to jam and cause
water to backup from the river.
The river's highest level was
early Sunday morning at 16.34 feet,
according to the National Weather
Service. By Monday evening, it was
at 15.01 feet, or just slightly above
flood stage.

You may have heard about the
Nutritional Balance Analyzer Pro-
gram (Nutbal), but were never really
sure what the buzz was about.
According to the Center for Nat-
ural Resource Information Technol-
ogy, the Nutbal Program analyzes
fecal samples (a.k.a. manure) from
grazing lands by using near infrared
reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to
determine the nutritional qua~ty of
the forage that livestock wer~con-
suming approximately 36 hours
prior to defecating.
Dietary crude protein and di-
gestible organic matter, which can
tell you the net of energy mainte-
nance/gain, can be obtained from
this test. This program is a tool for
monitoring the changes in forage
quality over time, and can aid the
producer in choosing the most cost-
effective feedstuff for his or her live-
stock. The Nutbal program has also
been very useful in aiding the pro-
ducer in making grazing rotation
system adjustments.
There are essentially two parts to
the Nutbal program.
One part involves the collecting and
analyzing of fecal matter from native
range or tame pasture. Usually, the
/
fecal samples are collected monthly for
the duration of the grazing season in
order to monitor the nutritional
changes throughout the entire season.
The other part of Nutbal involves
inputting the fecal test results into
Nutbal Pro software, and using the
Nutbal reports to aid the producer in
his or her management decisions and
record-keeping.
Currently, the NRCS is offering
free fecal analyses on a first-come
first-serve basis to producers who
would be interested in the Nutbal
Program. For more information,
please stop by the Beach NRCS
Field Office or contact us at (701)

Biography:
Mark Martin is known for his consistency. For exam-
ple, he finished in the top ten eleven times in 2008 out
of the twenty-one starts he rf~ade. He also qualified for
the Chase for the Cup all 3 years he raced full-time
dunng its existence. Mark Martin also currently holds

Overall, Mar'dn has 36 career NASCAR Cup wins and
has finished second in the Sprint Cup Series point
standings four limes (1990, 1994, 1998 and 2002). In
1990, a 46-point penalty at Richmond for using an ille-
gal (but non-performance enhancing) carburetor
spacer caused him {o lose to Dale Eamhardt by 26
points in the final standings. Later NASCAR stated
that they should not have penalized him, but they
could Rot reb'act the decision. Martin announced he
would re4ira after the 2005 season, dubbing the sea-
son the "Salute to You" tour as a thank you to his fans.
Martin later agreed to come back and dnve for the
2006 season. In 2007, Martin became the oldest dri-
ver in ~ modem era to lead the Sprint Cup points for
more than one week. Last year, Martin made his 700th
career stert at the 2008 Aute Club 500.
