Part of the Parade

Ava made her first-ever appearance on a float in a

parade this past Saturday night, participating in the
Valley County Optimists Parade of Lights, and she was

all smiles as was her parents, Jason & Jennifer Shields.

They were being escorted by Dave & Marie Pippin in his
modern-day sleigh, a John Deere Gator Sport.

National Influenza Vaccination Week: Its Not Too Late!

With flu activity increasing
and family and friends planning
gatherings for the holidays, now is a
great time to get a flu vaccine if you
have not gotten vaccinated yet. A flu
vaccine can protect you and your
loved ones. Everyone 6 months of
age and older should get a flu vaccine
every season.
While seasonal flu activity varies,

flu activity usually peaks between

December and February, though
activity can last as late as May. As
long as flu activity is ongoing, its not
too late to get vaccinated. An annual
flu vaccine is the best way to protect
against this potentially serious disease.
Even if you have already gotten sick
with flu this season, it is still a good
idea to get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccines

protects against four different flu

viruses.

Its not too late to get a flu vaccine
to protect yourself and your loved
ones this flu season!
Celebrate National Influenza
Vaccination Week at the Valley
County Health Departments Flu

from 8:30 5:30.

My wife is talking about wanting to have children. I
dont think I am quite ready for her to be a single mom.
I remember when my dad once gave me money to
pay the electricity bill.
Instead, I bought some raffle tickets for a brand new
car. When I got home, I explained to my dad what I did
and he beat the crap out of me.
But the next day, when my dad woke up and opened
the front door, there parked outside our house was a
brand new car.
We all cried; especially me, because the car was
from the electricity company and they were there to cut
off the power, so my dad beat the crap out of me again.
I accidentally gave my wife super glue instead of
Chapstick. Shes still not talking to me.
My buddy went to get a tattoo of an Indian on his
back. Half way through he said, Dont forget to put a
big tomahawk in his hand.
The tattooist said Hang on pal, Ive only just
finished his turban!
My wife asked me to go out and get something that
makes her look pretty.
So I went out and got drunk.

Some people think filling animals with helium is
wrong. But I dont judge. Hey, whatever floats your goat.

Samples from Missouri River suspect for mussel larvae

Milk River inconclusive, testing on Fort Peck Reservoir ongoing
Montana Fish, Wildlife and
Parks continues the search for the
presence of aquatic invasive mussels
after recent test results found larvae
in Tiber Reservoir and a suspect
larva in Canyon Ferry.
Last Tuesday, water sample
results from the Missouri River south
of Townsend, near the Yorks Islands
Fishing Access Site, also came in
suspect for aquatic invasive mussel
larva. This is the third suspect water
body found this year in Montana.
The samples from Tiber
Reservoir were later confirmed to be
positive for aquatic invasive mussel
larvae. The Canyon Ferry Reservoir
sample is still suspect, pending the
results of further testing, which
is underway. The suspect samples
from the Missouri River are also
undergoing more testing.
We are continuing to test water
samples collected from the Missouri
River basin, which is our area of focus
now, said Eileen Ryce, FWP fisheries
division administrator.
A suspect sample is one where
the mussel larva present appears to
be an aquatic invasive mussel, but
further verification and testing is
needed to confirm the results are
positive.

Test results last week from
of a water sample collected in the
Milk River downstream of Nelson
Reservoir came back inconclusive
for aquatic invasive mussel larvae.

Divers & dogs help in the search for adult mussels at Tiber, Canyon Ferry.

The test showed the presence of the

shell of a larva, which indicates the
larva had dried out at some point and
died, said Ryce.
The results are inconclusive
because theres no way of knowing if
the dried larval shell came from the
river itself or was brought in already
dead by an outside source, Ryce said.
In an ongoing effort to search
for adult mussels, FWP, the Montana
Department of Natural Resources
and Conservation, and the U.S

Bureau of Reclamation, all partners

on the Governors Invasive Species
Advisory Council, last week used
mussel-sniffing dogs at both Tiber
and Canyon Ferry Reservoir to search
for further indications of the aquatic
invasive mussels.
At Tiber, the dogs searched the
shoreline and docks that were removed
from the water for the winter season.
The dogs got a potential positive hit at
one point on the shoreline and at one

dock. However, no adults were found.
At Canyon Ferry, the dogs searched several docks
still in the water and got a potential hit on a dock at the
Silos and on a boat and a section of riprap at Yacht Basin
Marina. These hits prompted FWP staff to snorkel around
docks at both locations looking for adult mussels. U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service divers trained in searching for adult
mussels continued the search at Yacht Basin and Tuesday
at the Silos. No adult mussels were found.
Response efforts for both Tiber and Canyon Ferry
Reservoirs are being coordinated by an interagency
response team that includes staff from FWP, DNRC, the
Bureau of Reclamation and the Montana Invasive Species
Advisory Council.

For many years FWP has conducted regular testing of
the states rivers, lakes and reservoirs for aquatic invasive
mussels. Water samples from Fresno, Holter, and Hauser
reservoirs have come back negative, as have samples from
Lake Frances and the Marias River.

Testing at Fort Peck Reservoir and the entire
Missouri River system is ongoing. Once sample
processing is complete in these close proximity areas, it
will continue with water bodies west of the Continental
Divide.
FWP conducts AIS tests on 141 water bodies across
the state each year. This includes more than 540 samples,
which are processed at the agency laboratory in Helena.
Weve developed an extensive testing protocol in
Montana because of the importance of early detection,
Ryce said. The fact weve discovered these mussel larvae
at very low densities in Tiber and Canyon Ferry indicates
this testing protocol is proving effective.
Additionally, through the spring and summer FWP
operates 17 aquatic invasive species check stations around
Montana. New this year was a law requiring recreationists
with water craft to stop at any check station they
encountered. More than 37,000 water craft came through
FWPs check stations. Of the more than 37,000 water craft
inspected, seven were found positive for aquatic invasive
mussels.
Central to Montanas AIS monitoring and education
efforts is its Clean, Drain and Dry message.
We need all of our water users to understand and
follow the Clean Drain Dry message and procedures,
Ryce said. The success we have at preventing any spread
or introduction of AIS in Montana depends on it.
For the latest information on this issue, please look
online at fwp.mt.gov. For facts about aquatic invasive
mussels and other invasive species, please look at the
MISAC website at dnrc.mt.gov/divisions/cardd/MISAC.
