Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana. Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

COWBOY POetrY BY H. Fred Liese

There was a climate scientist On the AM radio. I glanced at the thermometer. It’s twenty one below.

He’d attended college. He’d studied chemistry. But did he miss an element, One called mercury?

I’ve analyzed his theories. It’s just as I’d expected. When it comes to global warming, Montana was neglected.

And there’s a common saying, That’s completely out of tune, Yes, we pour molasses But that’s near the end of June.

Our state is most uncommon Banned from global talks Methane from our cattle herds Won’t warm our own buttocks.

And as I shoveled out the door, I found with great delight There’s my carbon footprint And now, it’s lily white.

There “was” global warming. That will be defended. Read it in the science book That’s when the ice age ended.

Today, some global warming Would win most folks approval Conserving fossil fuels, It would help with snow removal.

The climate change idea It just don’t have me sold So pardoning the pun, But we’re left out in the cold.

Disagreement will persist From words out of my mouth But if climate change is real, Why are geese still heading south?

Let’s hold a climate conference. Invite them to disrobe. They’d quickly find the Treasure State Don’t fit upon their globe.

Leading to the fees and dues From the group that I am forming; We welcome you in coveralls, “Montanans For Global Warming”.

Money Talks

Don’t Get ScammeD on the net The World Wide Web offers an almost endless array of investment opportunities.However,you should be aware that some of these authentic looking opportunities might not be legitimate. Asalways, it pays to be cautious before investing.

The North American Securities Administrators Association offers these tips to give scammers the boot:

• Don’t assume that your on-line service screens investment claims. •Steer clear of seldom-traded stocks that are hyped on-line.Swindlers will post multiple “alias”messages to spark a buying frenzy and send the price of the stock skyrocketing – artificially, of course. •Insist on getting printed information before investing.Never buy anything based only on whatyou pull off the Internet. • Never give your address, telephone number or credit card number to a stranger over theInternet. •Make sure any investments you’re considering are registered with the proper regulatory agency.If they’re not, they cannot be sold to you legally. • Don’t assume that the person touting the investment is whom he or she claims. To sell, theperson must be registered with your state’s securities agency.

Laugh Lines

JESUS KNOWS YOU’RE HEREA burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, when a voice in the dark said, “Jesus knows you’re here.”

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze.When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard,

“Jesus is watching you.”Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest

on a parrot. “Did you say that?”, he hissed at the parrot.“Yep,” the parrot confessed, then squawked, “I’m just trying to warn you that he is watching you.”

The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?”“Moses,” the bird replied.

“Moses?”, the burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name a bird Moses?”“The kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus,” the parrot replied.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As we get closer to the transmittal deadline at the state legislature, when all the bills that originated in the House pass over to the Senate and vice verse, we are hearing and voting on more and more bills each day in committees and on the House floor.

Here’s just a quick update of a few interesting bills that we’ve considered lately.

Ban on human reproductive cloning (HB 288). We passed it in Judiciary Committee, and then it passed on the House floor 93/7.

Revise Post Adoptive Services Law (HB 367) passed the House 96/4. If enacted, this law will allow private adoption agencies to also provide post-adoptive counseling and support to birth mothers who have relinquished their children for adoption (no cost to the state).

Montana Firearms Freedom Act – Exempt Montana Made Firearms and Ammunition from Commerce Clause (HB 246). This states that a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Montana and that remains within the borders of Montana is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Passed second reading on the House floor 64/36 and is awaiting third reading before moving on to the

Senate – hopefully!

Authorize Archery Season for Mountain Lion, Bear, and Wolf (HB 74) passed unanimously. This act would grant the Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission the discretion to set up areas and seasons for archery hunting mountain lion, bear, and wolf in archery hunting seasons. Passed the House unanimously.

Authorize Reciprocal Fishing with Adjoining States on Contiguous Rivers & Streams (HB 366). If this bill becomes law, any person who is properly licensed to fish in a state that borders Montana may fish in any part of a

lake, reservoir, pond, river, stream, or body of water in Montana within 10 miles of the border, if the bordering state grants the same or similar privileges to holders of valid Montana fishing licenses and enters into a reciprocal agreement with Montana. Passed 92/7.

Authorize investor owned livestock slaughter and processing plants (HB 418). This bill will pave the way for a horse processing plant to open in Montana – contributing to the economy and improving the horse market while also providing a humane place for people to take old, injured, or dangerous horses. I am a co-sponsor. The hearing for this bill brought the most people I have yet seen come to Helena to testify. Dozens of proponents came from all over the state to support this bill, with only a handful opposing it. I will let you know if it makes it out of the Agriculture Committee.

I’m pleased to report that my House Joint Resolution 14, supporting the Interior Department in their recent decision to match gun regulations in national parks with the gun laws of the state they are in, passed out of the Judiciary Committee and will soon be heard on the House floor.

For more information on any bill, visit www.leg.mt.gov. To contact me, e-mail [email protected] or call 262-3185. I work for YOU – for Montana’s future!

WORDS FROM

WENDYAs you know, our very own Wendy Warburton is serving in Helena this Legislative Session representing the people of House District 34. During her hiatus from ‘Tricia’s Trader’, she has graciously agreed to send us updates of the happenings in the capitol of this great state.

Nitrate poisoning isassociated with livestock thatingest feed with a high nitratecontent. Nitrate fertilizer ispalatable, especially to cattle. It is not the nitrate itselfthat is toxic to the animal itis elevated levels that cause adisease called nitrite poisoning.Nitrite accumulates and isabsorbed into the bloodstream.The blood is inhibited frombeing able to transport oxygen tothe lungs andbody tissue.The animall i t e r a l l ysuffocates. Symptomswould includere s p i r a t o r ydistress, weakheart beat,

below normal body temperatureand loss of muscle coordination.Death can occur within oneto four hours of the onset ofdifficult breathing. Pregnant females that survivenitrate poisoning may abort dueto lack of oxygen to the fetus.Abortions generally occur 10-14 days following exposure ofhigh nitrates.
