By Sherry Vogel This past week many people in Fallon County had wished their garages had been emptied to give their vehicles protection before a severe thunderstorm with 'golf -ball' sized hail pounded down. A great number of vehicles suffered severe hail damage before the storm blew over. A hefty vehicle repair bill is a great moti- vator to convince a person to organize or clean out their garage. If you couldn't get your vehicle in the garage you are not alone, because the typical garage in America is being used as a storage unit. It houses a riding lawn mower, yard and garden equip- ment, seasonal patio furniture, camping equipment, seasonal decorations, freezers, motorcycles, and misc. boxes. It might be interesting to note that the average person is totally caught off guard when hail strikes, although they do have some sort of insurance coverage. Many local res- idents have the same \hail protection plan.\ They scurry off to the closest bank or gas station awning, or group of trees, to take cover, only to find there is no space for their vehicle, because every one else is under the 'same protection plan'. Being able to find the humor in any situation is the balm that begins the healing. Here's to a weekend of mass garage cleaning and or- ganization. The following are a few tips to organize your garage items, which will help make space for your vehicles in the garage. • Adhere a wood pallet to the wall. Next size a piece of peg- board and screw to the front of the pellet. This creates a wall storage unit to store long handled tools (brooms, shovels, rakes, etc.) while hooks can be inserted into the pegboard to hang tools. • Lay a platform across the ceiling joists and use the space ; between the ceiling and the roof for storage. • Shelves or cabinets can be installed above the garages front wall. This is often an overlooked area for storage Residents, their families and staff enjoyed an after- noon of visiting and some very good food at the Villa's family barbecue. Michelle Shumaker and Olga Ehret both enjoyed the afternoon. Dr. Pat Kelly Dr. Jennifer Sarsland invisalign• enta1, Inc. 608 HWY. 12W.

A r , 101./Wehlrp le , A.NA Ipsn..,ne•d MOHO 497500alipm1117016 is phenomenal By Sherry Vogel Thanks to the tremendous support of the greater commu- nity at large, the Baker Tor- nado Relief Fund, as of July 18, is a whopping $70,000. Unsolicited donations for the Baker Tornado Relief Fund have been collected in amounts of thousands of dol- lars from corporate groups and organizations to dollar amounts donated by individu- als. Smaller coinage has been donated to collection jars sit- ting on store, cafe and bar counters while small children have donated individual quar- ters earned by selling lemon- ade. The Baker community is grateful for the concern shown in this time of calamity. Mona Madler, of Southeast Montana Area Revitalization Team (SMART), the group re- sponsible for collecting and distributing the funds to tor- nado precipitants, divided the two categories of contribu- tions to derive a monetary amount given by each group. She was slightly surprised when she discovered that indi- viduals from the local area, as well as around the USA, had given the majority of the money. The breakdown of the donations were: $38,000 given from local individuals and people from around the USA. The donations, hence far from businesses and local/regional organizations is $32,000. Many of the individuals do- nating from across the nation have ties to Baker. Whether they had lived here at one time, are seasonal visitors for hunting or just ride through the community on their motor- cycle each year, once word of the tornado reached them, they felt compelled to help. \Sometimes donations come in ear -marked with a particular population in mind.\ stated Madler. She continued, \For instance, an elderly lady, from a surrounding community, flagged her donation to be given to an elderly person af- fected by the tornado.\ Some give out of their abun- dance, while others give all they have. Each donation is recognized and greatly appre- ciated. It is such a heartwarm- ing feeling to witness people pooling their resources to- gether to help others in need. SMART is the administrator of the funds, and as such, is creating policies and proce- dures to distribute the funds directly to those most affected by the tornado. SMART is a 501c3 non-profit organiza- tion.\ SMART is working with local, state and national organizations, who have expe- rience with recovery funds, so as to best determine the process of distributing the funds,\ said Madler. \SMART is sensitive to the donor's wish and intention of distribution, as well as. aware of individual survivor's needs,\ she concluded.
