from the wind th al aren't far from food and water sources so cattle don't need to go look­Ing for those. Providing (straw) bedding Is a help to put out shortly after a storm, especially when the animals can't get to their regular shelter.

Death ruled accidental BY KAIB JOHNSO)'!

The Mercer County Sheriff's Department ruled a Stanton death accidental. Travis Lee Noakes, 29, Stanton, was oc­cidentally shot while coyote hunting In the early morning hours of Dec. 24, 2016.

According lo the police report filed by the Mercer County Sheriff's Depart· men!, Noakes and his friend Townsend James Bauer, 30, Hazen, headed out to hunt coyotes In a pasture behind Noakes' trailer home.

The police report went on to give a detailed narrative about Bauer settlng_up bait to

lure the coyotes In. The pair set up fn dlfler­

enl locations and waited for the animals. After hours had passed, Bauer made the first shot at what he saw ns move­ment; and made another shot 30 minutes later at another potential coyote.

Several hours later, once becoming cold, Bauer went to retrieve his coyotes, at which time he discovered Noakes' body.

According to the report, Bauer returned to Noakes' trailer distraught and sobbing to Inform Noakes' brother, Ryan Themes, who called the Sheriff's Department.

Predictions by Jarann Johnson

Remembering MLK Day I can recall learning a lot ,

of things from working In the news Industry. I've learned to read people's laces, silt through raw emotions and realize when people are rhe­torically spitting out things they've heard.

When I first started this Job I read a book aboul the Civil Rights Movement and the news Industry's role In helping shape better commu­nities and a helter country. The book went Into a long discussion about how news­paper editors have to Improve their communities by writing thoughtful and chnllenglng edttorlals.

The news Is supposed to be filled with hard facts and editorial pieces are supposed to paint a better picture of current events. Think o/ It this way- a standard baseball game should report the score and major events of the game.

The editorial piece on the game would focus on the why stealing second base was a good call or bad call. The editor would give reasons for their belle( and the com­munity would form opinions about stealing second base In different situations.

This belief actually goes further back In our country's history. Many o( the found­Ing fathers would roll over In their grave today ll they heard the publlc bosh "the media" the way they do. For some odd reason, we've forgolten that one of the key guys on the constitution committee was BenJomln Franklin, who happened to be a true news­paperman In his lifetime.

I was reflecting on the newspaper editor's role when I got ready to write my MLK column this week. I wondered I! I should write about the gender wage gap between women and men or If I should discuss the tumultuous racial Issues that popped up during the recent electlon year.

I decided to do neither. Yes, they are Important Issues but I think there Is a bigger and scarier Issue looming In our state and nationally.

We have forgotten what history shows and teaches us. History shows us that there wlll be chances In a person's Ille to speak up.

Sometimes speaking up

Is easy, sometimes It's hard. Sometimes speaking up means going to Jail or risking financial security. Sometimes speaking up means being the publlc face of a Joke and being laughed at.

I look back at the white abolitionist who fought against slavery with aston­ishment. Sometimes I think their stories arc glossed over. Most people can't name three !nmous white abolitionist, which Is understandable be­cause history teachers have to hit the muln points a time period and move on.

Kids have to learn who Harriet Tubman and Freder­ick Douglas are but !here Is a small void. Odds are they have never heard of John Brown. They might know who Harriet Beacher Stowe Is if they paid attention and had a good teacher.

Who fights and risk every­thing they have for people who are considered property? The abolitionist represent one reason why I believe In Chris­tianity, they acted out of love and compassion and spoke up about their beliefs of equality.

When we last-forward to Martin Luther King's legacy we are told he fought lor Clvll Rights and that he was assas­sinated because he was wlll, Ing to be the face of the Civil Rights Movement.

Many of us aren't going to face the extreme situation King faced In his Ille. Our families won't be threatened, we won't be threatened and the government won't spy on us or start rumors about us.

For the most part, the only thing we have to worry about Is a public embarrassment. I wonder sometimes ll we are willing to su!fer embarrass­ment while taking action.

There were newspaper edi­tors In the south who wrote about Improving conditions for African Americans during the Clvll Rights Ero and read­ers embarrassed them or ridi­culed them about It In public. But now, years later, some of those very same newspaper editorials are used to show towns In a progressive light Instead of being regressive.

I know my Impact on society as a sports writer Is minimal and not as big or as Important as the news editors

I write about an event that's constantly played on a mostly equal playing field. My Job talces me to this lalrytale land where there are only six things that mailer - height, weight, speed, strength, coor­dination and hard work.

I love It, for the 2-3 hours I'm at a sporting event noth­ing else matters but that Is starting to change. My love for Individual sports hasn't waned on this Job but my love for team sports has.

Everyone wants to play but there's only so much time ln a game and so many opportuni­ties. In Individual sports, ev­eryone gets to ploy and strive for their best performance.

Team sports are different and often times parents and family members gel annoyed, which Is fine. Nobody wonts !heir kid to be the bench warmer. Everyone wants to be a star and every parent wants their kid to be a star.

II the starlight doesn't come then It's the coach's fault or lt's because someone else Is being favorlted. Play­ers go home and complain to their parents and this does absolutely nothing.

All that results Is an angry coach and angry parents. Some cooches hove high player awareness and n great sense of displeasure and nip It In the bud.

But, I believe most high school coaches suck at read­Ing players because they ore teachers, parenls, and people with real life worries.

The fantasy sports world Is Just an escape from reality for them as well. I would advise players and parents to do one thing when they want more playing time or have other ls­sues In sports - tell the child to directly voice their con­cerns with the coach,

"Coach this sucks, I want to piny. I want to help the team. I feel like I'm not helping the team. What can I do to help the team?"

It's awkward, players might feel embarrassed, but It has to be done. Playing time In some silly sport Isn't going to matter for them In five years hul lt does set a life precedent - they learn how to stand on their own feet and talk direct­ly to somebody about some­thing they (eel Is un(alr.

I( a kid learns to speak up as a teenager they wlll be better prepared for fife. Who knows they may be the next MLK and have to stand up !or much more serious things.

Maddi Cruff's Miss Coal Country sash Is pinned In place by Miss North Dakota Macy Christianson, white Brianna Saller and Alissa Eberle look on.

Cruff selected 'Miss Coal Country 2017' By Annette Tait

Maddi Crulf's selection as Miss Coal Country 2017 lo~ lowed a roller coaster of a Jour· ney- her experience with the whirlwind pageant world was by far more hectic than most

At the encouragement of a friend, Cruff looked Into enter· Ing less than a week before the Mercer County Scholarship Organization's pageant was held. In that short time, Cruff had to prepare for evening gown. swimsuit, and talent competitions; a IQ.minute private Interview In front of all of the Judges; and to respond to on-stage questions.

"I thought, why not?" she said, even though she'd had no previous e,,'J)erlence with pageants. "fhe scholarship was a part of It, It was more of an Incentive to try It."

Cruff talked with the pageant organizers -who began accept· Ing applications from Oliver and McLean counties this year In addition to Mercer County, entered the pageant, and started raising donaUons for the entry fee, which go to Children's Miracle Network of Hospitals. Whal could go wrong?

Having exchanged emails

give back to their communities. I've seen first-hand the shortage and struggle of keeping volunteers, and the need for community services.

with pageant organizers only a few hours before and been told "I can't wall to see you Sunday morning." Crull lllerally slid Into her next challenge.

"I came home from Bismarck and was carrying things Into the house, and I slipped on the snow," she said. 'I went to the clinic and was told I could walk on It 111 didn't walk on It until [the dnr of the pageant]."

Crul contacted the pageant directors and was encouraged to participate, even If she had to use crutches.

"I made the decision the day before that I was going ahead with It," she said. "f just walked

- Maddi Cruff on It and sucked It up."

A panel of five Judges scored the contestants In the different competition areas. Crulf's ch~ lenge In the on-stage question portion was twerlold. She was asked, "How would you change the negative effects of social me­dia?" and 'How did you choose your platform?"

Cruff responded that she would look for the positives In social media situations, and stay away from the negative as­pects while also trying to guide others In the more positive direction.

an amendment to Ultleg's agreement with the City for work required to satisfy Fed­eral Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Information requests regarding the Lei· ter of Map Revision (LOMR) submitted on behalf of the City. Tuck noted that Ultelg wrote-or! a significant amount of the additional work, but still needs to recoup at least a portion of the costs.

The LOMR was required to update the 100.year flood 1>laln map to reflect topog. raphy changes made when the addition was built, and to accurately designate affected properties as not being locat· ed within flood plain boundar­ies. Final approval has not yet been received from FEMA.

Trying ta make da with less

BY JEFF DELZER Dlstrlcr 8 Rep.

The legislative session for2017 Is already two-weeks old. Seems like sessions start with high stress and continue all session long now.

There seems to be fewer bills being introduced so far this session, but we still have a full day for House members and a week for the senators to Introduce legislalion. We will have to see how many we end upwithalterbill introduction deadline next week.

The House has 25 new members out of 94, so there will be a little bit of a learning curve for them on the process and for all olus lo get lo know each other. The Legislature always has new members, and on toporthe honor and privilege of serving District 8, getting to know other legislators and others involved is a very good experience.

We are still working through the revenue shortfall condition. The Legislature reduced lhe

expected revenue from (former Gov. Jack) Dalrymple's forecast by $67 million for the rest of the current bicnnia, which ends June 30, and Delzer also reduced :~fur!~!"':.rtars by about $170

One of the most important Jobs I feel for lhis session is to get our fore<:ast so that It's pretty accurate, or at least so that the actual revenues are more than we forecast, so we do not have to go through an allotment process again.

This means we will have to make do with less, just as any of the farmers or businesses have had to with reduced revenues. It will not be easy and will require setting the right prioriUes with lhe revenues we have available.

We have just started lo get into

the details about lhe budgets, so it wlll take some time to get it all lined out.

The Legislature also has to deal with a change in the governorship, so there will be different views added there, as well.

Both Governors will bring forward their thoughts, and now it Is up to the Legislature to sort through them, as well. As long as we remember we work for the citizens, use common sense and

~i\1 t~~n~i:t~ ~~':r!1~!b'.i:~a:~ be proud, as North Dakotans, of where we have come and how well our state Is doing,

As always, thank you for letting me represent you, and iJ you wish to contact me, the best way is email, which ls Jdelzer@nd.gov.

Be sure to use your name and address, so I can tell you are from District 8, as we get many emails

Mental health reform hits the shallows BY MIKE JACOBS ND Newspaper Association

Afour,year-long effort to reshape North Dakota's mental health services maybe shipwrecked In the shallows at the Legislature.

Money is tight There's institutional resistance. And there's stigma attached. The effort began in the 2013

session, when the Legislature onlered a study. This was completed In July 2014. The 2015 session sent the project toan interim committee to craft bills that would be presented thlsyear.

The early going has been rough. Last week the State Senate

rej..:ted the Idea of removing the StateHospitalfromtheconstituUon, one of the proposals advanced by the interim committee. Closing the hospital would have required a public vote; If passed, it would have cleared the way for a system of regional mental health centers.

The proposal got only three votes - but It as a bipartisan vole, two Democrats and one Republican voted in favor of the idea.

Changes in certification and Ucensure for mental health professionals ran Into trouble last week, loo. Go,.'Clllingboardspushed back against changes U1e interim conunittee had r..:ommendcd.

Legislators may move ahead with one portion of the plan, renaming mental health. Occurrences of the phrase In state law would be replaced with the phrase "behavioral health."

That's aimed at the stigma

associated with mental health, state Sen. Judy Lee of West Fargo explained. She chairs the Senate Human Services Committee, and she presided over the Interim study committee as well.

Lee said she plans to concentrate on what she called "workforce lssues"inmentaihealth.Thefleldis "quitetwfy,"sheexplalned. "There are a lot of silos. We need some skywalks between the silos."

She said professionals with certification in specific fields should be able to work in other fields with proper lrainln.l)'. and supervision • but perhaps without another certificate.

This would Increase the number of professionals that would be available to provide services at sp..:lfic locations.

BothLeeandSen.TunMalhern of Fargo said the state urgently needs to provide services in a more accessible way. This would include teleconferencing for therapy sessions, both suggested.

Mathern is lhe Legislature's

most vocal advocate for sweeping change. A former counselor, he served on the Interim committee studying the lasue. He was the most vocal backer of closing the state hospital.

Refusing to do it sets back care, he said.

"It's ao illusion," he said. "The illusion ls that since we have the state hospital we have addressed the problem. It leis us believe we care."

Lee's approach Is more incremental. She voted against closing the state hospital, and she's pushlng for funding of adolescent treatment facilitles and more beds for crisis cases.

Even these small steps may be in danger because of funding cuts.

Human service programs take about a third oft he money allocated from the st ate general fund. roughly the same amount spent on public schools. The general fund is built mostly on taxes paid directly

Week2

BY VERNON LANING District 8 Legislator

Althou~h things were comparative slow the first week of lhe legis alive session, the second week really accelerated. We heard 35 different bills on the floor of the House during the week, of which 29 passed and six failed. Of those 35 bills, 14 were carried by members of the committees I work in (Industry, Business and Labor and Government and Veterans Affairs), so we have been busy, too.

'l\vo of the bills we carried failed on the floor vote. One deal! with temporary licenses and background checks of plumbers (HB 1113). Arguments were heard on the floor that the Bureau of Criminal Invesllgatlon is beginning to be inundated with background check requests and that it should be the obligation of the individual contractor to be suretheirworkersaredependable. In the end, that biU faUed by a 42 to49vote.

The second one (HB1108)deait with an area o/Increasing concern des Ung with cyber attncks and the security of information related to an attack. The biggest concern of the House members was that some Information should be released to the pit bile for them to better resist further attacks. This part !cu lar bill was later recalled and sent back to committee to amend to more acceptable language.

A bill that I carried to the floor dealt with the location of

underground facilities before any excavation takes place. This service Is normally referred to as the one call system. Everyone can use this by Laning calling 811. In fact, lf you are digging In your yard to a depth of more than 12 inches, you are supposed lo call to have someone che<:k the area for your own safety and the Integrity of whateverlacflltles may be there.

If you do not make the call and any damage occurs, you will be held liable. And if you knowingly try to conceal damage you caused without reporting It, you could lace misdemeanor charges.

A locator is supposed to mark the area you designate within 48 hours, starting at midnight following your call.

I would encourage everyone to follow the procedures In these Instances due lo potential danger to you, as well as the risk to very crucial facllltles such as fiber optic or electrical lines. You're prot..:ted In manr. ways by making the call. This bill passed 91 to 1.

As always, you can get a lot more lnformaUon on any of the bills before the legislature st legls. nd.gov, or if you prefer, send me an email at vrlanlng@nd.gov. Thanks for your Interest in your state government

Comet girls notch two more wins BY SUZANNE WERRE Editor

Underwood senior Brooke Weisenberger was unstoppable in Saturday's Class B Jamboree game against New England, as she Jed the Comets to a 44-29 win over New England.

The 5-6 guard/forward knocked In 17 points and hauled down 15 rebounds lo lead the Comets lo the win.

"She was all over the place on Saturday,' said Underwood Coach Jared Kautzman.

The Comets went on a 10-0 run in the second hall lo open up a 12-polnl lead before going Into the final stanta with a30-22edge.

Junior guard Mackenzie Snyder was good for 14 points for the Comets, while Paige Ehlls Jed the Tigers In scoring with 11 points.

While Saturday was a good win for the Comets, Thursday night's 61-32 win over Garrison was bigger. Not Juel because It was a key district win for Underwood, but because it was the beat overall effort they've had this season, accordln!f lo Kautzmen.

"Thats the be•l game oll-

Underwood's McKenna Wilson skirts pastT1ooperdefender KKFox, en route to the basket. sru MERRY

~';?:1~~!~~;,;;~jif~~Y;~;: st~~ ball over, and we out-rebounded them."

Kautzman elaborated that the Comets' rebounding ha• been Improving, as the girls In purple and white outrebounded both Garrison and New England.

"It's getting better,' he said. And the ball•handling is

getting heller, loo, as the Comets are averaging about 15 turnovers per game now, whlchlslhe te.am's goal.

Key In the win over Garrison was the Comets' derense, which gave up only seven points to the 1\'oopcrs In both the first and final stanzas.

Garrison's Ellie Gehring stlll scored 18 points, but she was I he only'Jl'ooper to hit double digits,

as they msde 12 field goals for the game.

"We Just tried to limit (Ellie) Gehring as much as possible defensively,' said Kautzman. 'We were pretty happy wlih the effort defensively.

"We turned a little bit of defense Into offense, picked up a couple of loose balls and put· backs,' added Kautzman. "We didn't have many turnovers. It's always nicer to get shot attempts when you have the ball rather than have a turnover.•

Mackenzie Snyder had the hot hand for the Comets, scoring 22 points to lead all scorers, while McKenna Wllson tossed In 12. and Taysha Snyder 10.

In Saturday's outing, the Comets were without the help of

Y¥"'"'"uv1:, so 1aws nave been enacted to control feral and/or hybrid pigs.

In fact, several species of wildlife are protected from hybridization with closely related· subspecies. because the hybrids will, at times, outperform both parents and actually lower the population of the original parents. This hybrid vigor is real and not something to be taken lightly.

In the canine world, dogs, coyotes and wolves can produce a hybrid that may have a selective advantage over the original parents. Florida is fearful of the potential hybridization of pythons. Although one may not lhinkofsnakes as domesticated, they are, some more so than others.

Two snakes - the African rock · python (Python sebae) and the

Burmese python (Python· molurus bivittatus) - keep making the news, primarily because of the fear they may crossbreed. When confined to their normal habitat, one in Sub­

. Saharan Africa and the other in southern and SoutheastAsia, they do not cross. They fit their environment.

Like beef producers who traveled the mountain passes and waterways,

· who also co-mingled different breeds and subspecies of cattle, those who appreciate raising snakes worry the same may occur. Imagine a snake !lie size of a Bunnese python with the aggressive nature of the African rock python. Not a good thing.

Fortunately; the actual crossing of these and most subspecies that result in viable, reproductively sound offspring is very rare. But the point is made: Hybrid vigor is real. Much effort was made in crossing American bison with domestic cattle. Although not all the offspring are viable, enough viability exi~ted to create the Beefalo breed, or cattle with bison and cattle DNA.

handle more breeds. Programs maximized production

through terminal sires or more sophisticated rotational breeding programs and allowed for the inclusion of new breeds on the maternal side. Crossbreeding works.

Seedstock producers have improved their genetics through selection for

umnmal beef cattle systems .. May you find all your car tags. For more information, contact

ally sure, one way or the other. . The first time I was exposed to

. an agnostic was around 35 years ago. Even though. I had known· this man for several y~ars, I had no idea he was an agnostic. It was a few weeks after my Grandpa Ru­dolph Peltz's funeral when this man approached me and began to talk about my Grandpa. He told me. for years he did not really deny

. the existence of Goq, but could not embrace the belief that there was a God. He then told rile that my Grandpa had a positive influence on him and helped solidify his be­lief in God. With tears in his eyes, he spoke of how my Grandpa never preached at him, but "lived" what he believed and through his actions,

of things we can not see yet believe in. You can not see the wind, elec­tricity, even thunder has never been seen. 'I have never seen my brain, or my heart, yet I know I have both. In my experiences, it seems to be highly educate people who are the most resistive to God, note I did not say they were smart! Smart people readily accept that.we did not just· explode into existence, they realize God had His hand in our creation. If you are an atheist or an agnostic; I am thrilled. that you reaq my ar­ticles, to me that means you have doubts and want me to prove to you the God I love is real and worthy to be honored and worshipped! So, give me a chance to prove it, you will never regret it!

,vmce her that lamb 1s mutton. So I have to e it when far, far away. ~ow what brought

conversation on was anquet I attended the ~r night. It was a won­ful meal. But when you down you had to pick .veen pork, . chick~n, 1egetarian. And I don't k the vegetarian meal a dispensation that al­ed steak. ~ow I chose pork. And as very good. But giv­he fact that cattle have Jped about 25% in the : couple weeks, I really bad about supporting competition. But since teone else was pay­for my meal, I hardly 1tioned it. Hardly be­like hollering, "Where he hell is the be~f?" foy had to gavel me n. lut then on the way te I got to thinking 1t chickens. They walk nd the cattle and peck ugh the manure. That f they are free rang­chickens. And if you them up in a group, lock, or whatever it's :d, they eat each other. eat a lot of chicken

~s. But they don't , like chicken. They d like Tobasco Sauce, ,ouisiana Hot Sauce, combo of peppers and

1mm;; wa8 wnue m1::at anu dark meat and gizzards and necks and gravy on new red potatoes. That was Sunday dinner.

Now chickens taste like whatever you dip them in.

Which reminds me qf a story. A true story.

Most people are aware that Tyson Foods is the one of, if not the larg­est meat company in the world. And they started with chickens. All chick­ens.

One of their plant man­agers was giving a tour of a plant and explaining the process to a group of inter­ested parties.

One young lady in the group raised her hand to be recognized for a ques­tion.

"How do you prepare your chickens for slaugh­ter?" she asked.

"Mam," he responded, "We tell them flat out that they aren't going to make it!"

And with that I'm tak­ing a package of steak out for supper. Bon Appetit!

sne was young and I can't convince her that lamb is not mutton. So I have to have it when far, far away.

Now what brought this conversation on was a banquet I attended the other night. "It was a won­derful meal. But when you sat down you had to pick between pork, chicken, or vegetarian. And I don't think the vegetarian· meal had a dispensation that al­lowed steak.

Now I chose pork. And it was very good. But giv­en the fact that cattle have dropped about 25% in the past couple weeks, I really felt bad about supporting the competition. But since someone else was pay­ing for my meal, I hardly mentioned it. Hardly be­ing like hollering, "Where in the hell is the beef?" Shirley had to gavel me down.

But then on the .way home I got to thinking about chickens. They walk behind the cattle and peck through the manure. That is if they are free rang­ing chickens. And if you pen them up in a group, or flock, or whatever it's called, they eat each other.

I eat a lot of chicken wings. But they don't taste like chicken. They tasted like Tobasco Sauce, or Louisiana Hot Sauce, or a combo of peppers and

on my; that wa:s · chiclceri. There was white meat and dark . meat and gizzards and necks and gravy on new red potatoes. That was Sunday dinner.

Now chickens taste like whatever you dip them in.

Which reminds me of a story. A true story.

Most people are aware that Tyson Foods is the one of, if not the larg­est meat company in the world. And they started with chickens. All chick­ens.

One of their plant man­agers was giving a tour of a plant and explaining the process to a group of inter­ested parties.

One young lady in the group raised her hand to be recognized for a ques­tion.

"How do you prepare your chickens for slaugh­ter?" she asked.

"Mam," he responded, "We tell them fiat out that they aren't going to make it!"

And with that I'm tak­ing a package of steak out

· for supper. Bon Appetit! Later, Dean

Dear WRT Customer:

Lifeline, Tribal Lifeline/Link Up, and Toll Blocking support is available from WRT. These programs provide discounts to eligible low-income consumers to help them establish and maintain telephone service.

What type of discount is available?

Lifeline assistance lowers the cost of basic, monthly local telephone service. Eligible consumers can receive at least $9.25 per month in discounts. In addition, the Federal Universal Service Charge is not assessed to consumers participating in Lifeline.

Tribal Lifeline provides up to an additional $25.00 in federal support to qualifying residents of Tribal land and applies on the main home telephone line listed in the name of the eligible telephone company subscriber. (The Tribal Lifeline discount cannot exceed $34.25.)

Tribal Link Up is available to qualifying consumers residing on Tribal lands and covers 100% of the charges (up to $100) of installing/connecting subscribers to our network.

Toll Blocking support allows eligible consumers who wish to avoid incurring large long distance fees to choose toll blocking or toll control at no cost. Also, by choosing this option, consumers are usually not charged a deposit.

How do I know whether I am eligible?

An individual is eligible if he or she participates in one of the following programs:

• Federal Public Housing Assistance or Section 8

• Medicaid • Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps)

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI) • Tribally-Administered Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TTANF)

• Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance

• Head Start (income eligible) • Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations • Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit

CPNI-CUSTOMER PROPRIETARY Ntl WUKI\ INl"UKIVIAI IUI\I

The FCC has adopted rules to protect your privacy with regard to telecommunications information that is personal to you. This information is called "Customer Proprietary Network In­formation" or "CPNI" and includes the type of services you subscribe to, the equipment and facilities used, and the num­bers, dates, times and duration of the calls you place. From time to time WRT may make new features and services avail­able that may enhance the services to which you are already subscribed. Allowing us to use your CPNI gives WRT the ability to give you more personalized service and offer you the prod-

ucts and services that best fit your needs.

If you allow us to use your CPNI, it will ONLY be used by WRT and its subsidiary companies, West River Long Distance & WRT WestNet Internet. We DO NOT sell or in any way provide this information to any other company, other than the 911 records we are required by law to provide if you are a phone customer.

Under federal law, you have the right, and we have the duty, to protect the confidentiality of this information. Therefore, your account will be treated confidentially, regardless of whether you consent or not to allow us to continue to provide you with

educational mailings.

If you agree to let WRT use your CPNI, no action is necessary.

If you want to restrict use of your CPNI, you must contact WRT within 30 days of receipt of this notice. You may miss the op­portunity to learn of new services, new packaging that could reduce your monthly bill, and other information that keeps you informed of the happenings at WRT. Your decision on the use of CPNI by WRT will remain valid until you change it, which

can be done at any time by contacting WRT.

SET UP OR CHANGE LONG DISTANCE SERVICE 1. Contact WRT or the long distance provider/company of youi

choice to sign up for service.

2. Authorize your long distance company to contact WRT to se· up or change your long distance service.

3. If you have a PIC FREEZE in place, contact WRTto remove thE PIC FREEZE and authorize the change to your long distance ser vice. You may also request a new PIC FREEZE form from WR. at this time. (PIC FREEZE blocks service from being changed)

BILLING NAME & ADDRESS DISCLOSURE The FCC requires WRT, under certain circumstances, to release the Billing Name and Address (BNA) of telephone customers to telecommunications service providers. The main reason for releasing BNA information is to ensure proper billing for col­lect, third number billed or calling card calls. WRT is required to provide the information to the telecommunications service provider that handled the call, if it is requested by the carrier.

BNA can also be released to telecommunications service pro­viders for other reasons, such as verification for presubscrip­tion, servicing your account, to prevent fraud or when you

move from one location to another.

If you have an unlisted or non-published telephone number, you have a choice. If you do not want your BNA released by WRT, we need affirmative notification from you within 30 days. If you provide us with such notification, your ability to make calling card calls or to receive collect calls or third number billed calls could be denied. Should you have questions re-

garding this matter, please call WRT at 748-2211.

BATTERY BACK-UP When WRT installs your new fiber optics, we also install a bat-

. tery backup unit (at no additional charge) - as the new fiber needs power to operate. If your electricity would happen to go out, the back-up unit will power the equipment and pro­vide voice service for approximately 8 hours. WRT does offer additional battery packs to extend the length of voice service and also provide internet service. We call it the "WRT 2 Buck

Back-Up" and it's available $2 per month.

Please keep in mind these basic emergency tips:

- Keep at least one basic CORDED phone on hand to use in case of power outages. (Cordless use additional power)

-If you have a generator, make sure the battery backup unit is plugged into an outlet that is served by the generator.

-Periodically check the indicator light on your battery backup unit to see if it is getting low or out of charge. General battery

life is 2-4 years, pending usage & storage conditions.

If you have any questions or would like to extend your battery backup time, please call WRT at 748-2211.
