Jayme & the Dojo program Vo

l.9
Jayme (Shanks) Valnes, formerly Thu
rsda 20
from Nashua, currently teaches y, April 16, 20
at Westside Elementary School in
Sisseton, SD in Early Childhood Special
Education. She covers birth to five-year-
old special needs kids in their homes,
Head Start and Day Care Centers.
Like our Montana Schools,
Westside Elementary in Sisseton, SD has
been closed since March 16th and their
Governor announced will remain closed
until the end of the school semester,
May 13th.
Mrs. Valnes has been teaching her
students through a program the school
has been using called “Dojo”. Dojo is a
school communications platform that
teachers, students and families use every
day to build close-knit communities
by sharing what’s being learned in the
classroom home through hands on
activities, photos, videos, and messages
keeping daily routines. Messages
allows parents and teachers to instantly
message each other without needing to
share private phone numbers or contact
details.
The Dojo program has been used
at Westside Elementary prior to the
Corona Virus outbreak so the teachers,
students and parents were ready to hit
the ground running when the school
was closed. The teachers have found
the program to be very successful.
Mrs. Valnes converted a section of
her home office into a classroom setting. Jayme Valnes reads to her horse Mini to share with her students.

Here’s a *T*I*P*
In Willow City, North Dakota, located between
Rugby and Bottineau with a population listed in 2015 as
163, tavern owner David Corum was issued citations on
March 25 and 26, two on March 27 and one on March
28.
His crime? He violated Governor Doug Bergum’s
order closing bars and restaurants to onsite service to
slow of the spread of the coronavirsus pandemic. The
charges against him are infractions, which is a level
lower than a misdemeanor. Besides himself and one
employee, he can’t have more than three people at a
time in Gunslingers, the name of his establishment.
Corum said he “prefers a dangerous freedom to
a peaceful slavery.” — Mike, Things, Ideas & People,
Daniels County Leader
OBITUARY
Clarence Knapp
Clarence M. Knapp,
age 84, of Nashua, Montana
#197
passed away peacefully
with his wife by his side at
4, 2020.
He was born January 13, 1936 to Cecil & Libby
(Brown) Knapp in Saco, Montana. The Knapp family
took Clarence and three brothers to Washington, where
three more brothers and one sister Shirley, would
eventually join the family. They would come back at
times to visit, and Clarence loved coming back and
decided it was where he wanted to make his permanent
home here and become a regular cowboy. He worked
out helping many ranchers. He had a couple of horses
he loved to spend time with talking or riding.
Clarence and Eleanor loved to travel and camp
whether to Washington or just to western Montana.
We combined those two pleasure trips with a trip to
Arizona in 2018-2019. He was a caring and helpful
person who will be very much missed.
He is survived by his wife of 24 years Eleanor,
sister, Shirley King of Oregon, a son, David (Stephanie)
Harlan of Washington, a daughter, Melanie Harlan of
Washington; step-children James (Mary) Johnson of
Columbia Falls, Valerie (Gary) Lloyd of Nashua and
Anna (Robert) Widman of Glasgow, a step-son in-law,
John Stout of Kalispell, a sister-in-law, Barb Knapp
of Arizona, 6 grandchildren, 4 step-grandchildren
and special friends, Jim and Bobby Kirkland, Wayne
Waarvik and Peggy.
Clarence was preceded in death by his parents,
his 6 brothers, a daughter, a grandson, and a step-
granddaughter.
By his request, Clarence has been cremated and no
services will be held. Condolences may be left at the Bell
Mortuary or at the home address of Eleanor Knapp, 306
Wiley Street, Nashua, MT 59248.

“There was once a time when Americans came West to
discover their destiny. Today they seem to move around
every which way, restless and unsettled. But I think they’re
still looking for the same thing - a place where they can be
optimistic about the future, a place that helps them to be
who they really want to be, where they can feel that this life
makes sense.”~ Alison Lohman in Flicka (2006)

He did it again
In the midst of
economic disaster, liberal
federal Judge Brian
Morris of Great Falls dealt
yet another blow to TC
Energy, ruling in favor
of environmental groups
who argued that the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers’
plan to construct the
Keystone XL pipeline over
rivers did not properly
take endangered species
into consideration.
It essentially cancels
a key permit necessary for
the project’s construction.
“It creates another
significant hurdle for the
project,” Anthony Swift,
of the National Resources
Defense Council said.
“Regardless of whether
they have the cross border
segment ... Keystone XL
has basically lost all of its
Clean Water Act permits
for water crossings.”
“Yesterday’s ruling on
Keystone XL’s Clean Water
Act permits is concerning
for the future of American
energy. Keystone XL was
permitted after years
of careful review and
received the necessary
approval from both
the U.S. Army Corps
and State Department,”
the organization Grow
America’s Infrastructure
Now Coalition said.
Other lawsuits are
set to go to court today
against the pipeline,
including efforts by Native
American tribes to halt
the pipeline project.
Closed?
While the Glasgow
Area Chamber of
Commerce & Agriculture
realizes that bars and most
restaurants are closed,
they would like to know
the other businesses that
are closed, as well.
If your business is
closed, please contact the
Chamber office at 228-
2222 or send an e-mail
so there is an up-to-date
list of closed businesses in
Valley County.
Two little old ladies
were sitting in the pew at
church, attending a rather
long-winded service.
One leaned over and
whispered, “My butt is

The home of Wisdom
Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (Midway Atoll is well known as the site of a
June 4-7, 1942 battle that was the turning point of World War II in the Pacific) sits
on one of the most remote coral atolls on Earth. While it only has about 40 human
residents, during breeding season, over a million Laysan albatrosses settle on
the atoll’s three islands. Monogamous couples of Laysan albatrosses share egg
tending and chick feeding duties, including Wisdom, believed to be the oldest
known wild bird in the world (at least 69 years old!). Every square foot of land is
occupied by a bird, and the air is full of the sound and the smell of them. It’s quite
a scene. Photo by Susan Middleton, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Jayme and Daisy the ranch dog visiting her Dojo On-

Jayme continued from front
Each day she gets ready just as she would if she were
teaching at school.
However, she has had to become a little more
creative to keep her student’s attention. She switches
from drawing letters, to discussing her alphabet tubs,
colors, shapes, and reading stories. Sometimes she even
takes the kids on a video tour of their ranch. Living on a
ranch, Mrs. Valnes has found all the animal sounds and
counting comes in real handy on her ranch videos, such
as counting cow’s or the horse’s legs and ears, or eyes
and nose.
Jayme reads to her students every other day, and
sometimes for something different will sit down with
her cat, “BobCat” or their dog, Daisy and include them
in the reading session. She can even keep her barrel
racing horse, Mini’s attention with the noises the “Little

From the Valley County Commissioners
The Valley County Commissioners would like to apologize,
and issue clarification, regarding the current health orders and
obligations that apply to visitors from outside Valley County.
In response to significant public concern regarding out of
county contractors who are present in our communities for
essential work purposes, one of the companies partnered with
the County Health Officer to wear pink wrist bands following
their 14- day quarantine. This was implemented to help alleviate
community concerns about the potential spread of COVID-19.
These bands are not government issued and are not a part of any
of the current health orders in place. Rather, they are a good faith
effort by these contractors to try to put the community at ease.
In a break-down of our internal processes, a flier went out to
local business owners seemingly indicating such wrist bands are
required for out of county individuals, and that local business
owners were obligated to report violations of the health orders.
That is not the intent of Valley County, and that flier has been
rescinded.
We apologize, again, for any confusion this has caused. We
are addressing our internal processes, and want to thank all
community members for continuing to work with us during this
unprecedented time.
