Why should the citizens of Fallon County vote for you? Kevin Dukart Voters sometimes feel a can- didate may not represent their interests. Rural and city resi- dents differ in their expecta- tions of government services. My background in agriculture and experience in city govern- ment would best serve the di- verse issues of the Fallon County voters. As a rancher, I rely on roads to safely transport machinery, care for livestock and to ac- cess pastures and fields. In ad- dition, those involved in oil and gas production also de- pend on these roads. In lean times of oil revenues, a prior- ity of our commissioners should assure that funds are available for road upgrade and maintenance. As commis- sioner, I would be responsive to those whose livelihood de- pends upon well maintained county roads. Although I reside in the county, I realize the needs of city residents differ in many ways. Throughout my career in public service as the City of Baker clerk and treasurer. I have demonstrated objectivity to the decisions affecting those I serve. Our county has an important role in shared planning and infrastructure developments affecting the cities. As a commissioner, I would have extensive insight to best serve the concerns of city residents. To address the varied needs of all county voters, a strong cooperative effort is neces- sary amongst government en- tities. My background and experience will allow me to meet the challenges of these diverse interests. Dave Havens lam asking you, the citizens of Fallon County, to vote Dave Havens. I have spent the past 8 1/2 months at the com- mission meetings acquiring \on the job training\ skills to become your next commis- sioner. During this period, I have come to know Commis- sioner Ranum and Commis- sioner Baldwin and I know that I can wnrk,elosely with them. I intend to the con- science of the people knowing that we can agree to disagree in achieving the goals of Fal- lon County. Having attended the Montana Association of Counties meeting last Sep- tember, I met commissioners, senators and representatives from across the state. The benefits of this \networking\ will be instrumental when lobbying in Helena for the needs of Fallon County. I have also met with represen- tatives of the Montana De- panment of Transportation who deal with the infrastruc- ture of roads in eastern Mon- tana. My past experience working with a U.S. Repre- sentative in the 101st U.S. Congress has given me expe- rience that only I can bring to the job. I have personally met Senator Daines, Senator Testor, and U.S. Representa- tive Zinke along with many of their staff. I am prepared and ready! I alone have commit- ted to provide access to all cit- izens by being in office daily from eight in the morning until noon. Also, I will be out visiting the citizens of Fallon County from one in the after- noon until I return home. This is my commitment to being a full time commissioner! I will be there to faithfully serve you, the citizens of Fallon Count \ Randy Hoenke I have devoted 32 years working for the citizens of Fallon County. I have been dedicated to serving the peo- ple as the Fire Chief and am still active on the department and on various boards. I'm a familiar face and have a di- verse background in leader- ship, a sound business sense, a spirit of integrity and coop- eration which are necessary for the growth and progress of Fallon County. I will continue to work hard and listen to the people and make the right decision for the right reasons. I have proved to the citizens that I care for Fallon County and I would be honored if you would elect me to be your commissioner. I would sin- cerely appreciate your vote. Roy Rost I have spent my whole life in Fallon County. I know the people and I know the issues our county faces. My years in agriculture and as a business owner in Baker have helped me to connect with and em- pathize with people from both rural and city backgrounds. I am honest, trustworthy and a good listener. I have a history of public service in both my church and the community at large. I have also given my time over the years to serving on county and city boards in- cluding the Little Beaver Conservation District Board, Planning Board, and the newly formed Zoning Com- mission Board. These posi- tions have given me insight and equipped me to take on a bigger role in serving Fallon County. I trust in my ability to cooperate with the other com- missioners and the city to make the best decisions for the people in the county. On the campaign trail I have had several people ask me why I would want the headache of being commissioner. The an- swer is that I want to give back to the community that has meant so much to me. I believe that I have the skills necessary to do this job and do it well. I would be honored to have your vote in the June primary.

Thanks Angel! Plevna School secretary retires after 26 years Lynette O'Connor up, and even false eyelashes. They did receive brief instructions on how to book flights. They were disappointed with the training be- cause later they learned they would have to be 2110 become a stew- ardess. They were 18. Airline companies also prefer to train their own flight attendants. The girls headed back to Baker where they both found employment at the Green Acres Supper Club. INvo months later, Lynette moved to Miles City where she found employment at Christiansen's V -Store. Later, moving back to Baker, she worked in the office of Fallon Me- morial Hospital for a year before she started a position at Montana Bank as a secretary. One day in 1976, she was walking to the mailbox By Sherry Vogel When Lynette Bohle O'Connor graduated from Plevna High School in 1972, she and a friend, Judy Steffes, headed for the city lights of Minneapolis with their hearts set on becoming airline stewardesses. They en- rolled in a finishing school that offered a three month course for airline stewardesses. A past Miss Minnesota was one of their in- structors. They learned how to sit properly, walk with a book on their head, apply make - and she was stopped and offered a job as the first secretary for Shell Oil Company in Baker. Lynette accepted the position and worked there for three years. Later, a work acquaintance, Tom Greene, of- fered her a job at Juniper Petroleum, a new company he was starting She worked there for three years. In 1978 she married Dan O'Connor. She became a stay at home mom while raising her sons Dirk and Troy. In the summer of 1990 her youngest child was school age and Lynette decided to re-enter the work force. She trained with Mrs. Jeanette Burkle then replaced her as she retired. Over the years she has noted how technology has advanced. When she started as a secretary, the electric typewriter was mainstream. Over the years everything became computerized. \As times changed. in some ways computers made life easier. Although it is quicker now to transmit records (to the state) by computer, there seems to be more records that need to be transmitted,\ Lynette stated. \Everything was done manually at first. I remember punching lunch tickets by hand when I first was at the school,\ Lynette added. She continued, \I re- ally enjoyed my job. I will miss all the kids and watching them grow up. I also enjoyed working with all the employees at the Plevna School!\ SEE O'CONNOR, PAGE 3 Classic Cruisers Car Show By Sherry Vogel You will know summer is soon on its way when numerous shiny classic cars and hot rods from the tri state area come rolling into Baker to participate in the 17th Annual Show & Shine Car Show.
