Fair stresses importance

of alcohol awareness

m xponent Writer Pat Hill

M U-Bozeman students got a taste of how ir feels ro drive drunk on Wednesday, when A MSU hosted the Alcohol Awareness Fair in rhe rrand Union Building.

Fatal Vision imulator goggles pro­vided by the Gallatin County DUI Task Force were a big hit ar the fair, which saw brisk business during rhe three-hour ses­sion. The goggles simulate the visual im­pairment caused by drugs or alcohol, and goggle-clad students attempting ro walk a straight line toe-co-heel in a DUI test often administered to drivers by police of­ficers, were all over the map.

"We've got rwo set of goggles," said DUI Task Force volunteer Bob Larson. "The .10 (blood-alcohol content) pair. which is legally drunk in Montana, is pretty difficult, but the .17 pair is if you've really been partying. It's a lor harder than it looks."

"I've only been drunk once, bur if that's how drunk people really feel, it's scary," said MSU student Maria Roberts, after trying the goggles.

Organizers of the event said that one of their goals is to effectively educate people about the dangers of drinking and driving.

Go\'. Judy Martz said last week char she supports lowering the DUI blood-alcohol limit in ~1ontana to .08 percent. and she also wants to ban rhe state's current policy allow­ing open alcoholic be,·erage in ,·ehides. The .08 blood-alcohol limit has been adopted b} many states to comply with federal guidelines for highway funding eligibility.

"The drunk dri\'ing laws are much tougher in other stares," said Arlene W1ylie, a member of the Bozeman chapter of Moth­ers Against Drunk Driving (l\1ADD), speaking with studenrs on Wednesday. "I wam e\'eryone ro feel safer on the road"

Drinking and driving were not the only issues addressed at Wednesday's e\'ent. Al­cohol-related accidents kill an estimated 1.-WO college students across the nation e\'­ery year, according ro a recent study by the federally appointed Task Force on College Drinking. The Task Force claims that drink­ing contributes to a half million injuries an­nually among college srudents, as well as 70,000 cases of sexual assault. nearly 400,000 students, between 18 and 2-1 years old ad­mitted to having unprotected sex as a result of drinking.

"We're here to teach people to nor rake heavy drinking lightly," said Wylie. "The consequences can be very serious."

About 47 percent of fatal auto crashes in Montana involve alcohol, and male drinking d rivers between the ages of 21-34 account for abou t half of rhese fatal accidents, according to rhe DUI Task Force. Approximately 2,300 alcohol-re­lated crashes occur in the state each year.

chwartzenberger said that people can assess rheir drinking habits online at alcoholscreening.org. a project of Bos­ton University.

"I really want to stress this service." she said. The alcohol.org project provides an online test for risky drinking behavior, and offers personalized feedback on drinking habits and health, based on resr responses. Local treatmenr programs and self-help and support resources are also available through the Web site.

\'er) kind of dc\·elopment would pre\'ent the site from qualifying for federal grant money and tax credits which exist to facilitate restoration.

As one official with that of­fice, who informally re' iewed the plans, stated in a letter to the City of Bozeman:

"Frankly, it [the proposal to subdivide the site] defies descrip­tion in terms of its insensitivity toward a premier historic prop­erty in the City of Bozeman," and adds, "\Y/e [the State Historic Preservation Office] would likely move to de-list the Story Mansion from the National Register of Historic Places should something like this actually take place."

Although with the battle­fields many of the famous mili­tary skirmishes took place on private property, many land own­ers over the years recognized that the ground on their deed pos­sessed a greater value. In rum, those property owners proudly made a determined effort to en­sure that the land remained in a protected stare by providing the public-or private buyers inter­ested in preservation-with an opportunity to protect those sites forever through fair market value purchase.

In aJ uly 1999 editorial, entitled "SAE House Will Test Our His­torical Resolve," the Bozeman Daily Chronicle noted the challenges in­volved with sa\'ing many deterio­rating historic structures. However, the Chronicle pronounced: "There are, however, several outstanding examples that deserve an extra ef­fort. The T.B. Story Mansion is cer­tainly one of them." \X'e agree, and seek to expedite nmhing less.

Believing the tory Mansion deserves better, and that a national service fraternity like the SAEs owe it to this community to rake a rand on behalf of the kind of commu­nity values the fraternity says it was founded 10 champion, we therefore would like to put a good faith pro-

posal on the table. In so doing, \\'e ask for community support in try­ing to sa\·e the mansion as nor only a lesson that we value for our chil­dren, bur as an affirmation among all of us that history matters.

\Y/e believe that before a devel­opment plan advances an} further, priority must first be given to find­ing a suitable buyer who would keep the mansion, carriage house and green space in tact. Because we believe the effort should include a true national search for such a buyer, which to date has not been completed, we would like to assist SAE and/or the current develop­ers by using all of the human re­sources available.

Ir was Roman philosopher Cicero who noted: "History is the wimess that testifies to the passing of time; it illuminates reality, vital­izes memory, provides guidance in daily life. and brings us ridings of antiquity."

The musical genius of Ozzy Osbourne escapes Bush supporters '

Koetter to the Editor

Jon J\larquardr 's opinion piece in rhe April 9 issue of the faponent fascinated me on a variety of le\•­els. Nor only do I see profowid mis­wi<lersranding of rhe musical ge­nius rhat is Ozzy Osbourne, I also see as a result of Marquardt's igno­rance a blaranr cashiering of his admiration for President Bush.

\Xlhile I am excited when any­one realizes rhe mistake our nation collectively made in electing J\lr. Bush (well, I guess not collectively ... in fact, he really did lose rhe elec­tion), Marquardt's condemnation of Mr. Bush for realizing the ralent and profound intellect of Ozzy Osbourne is omewhat misplaced.

First off. any of us who have pleasantly fallen asleep during rhe crashing chorus of ··crazy Train,., as the incomparable Randy Rhoades' guitar soars ro ear-shattering levels in

a demonic backdrop to Ozzy's roar­ing baritone, realize rhar Ozzy Osbourne is a man we aumor fully comprehend. His charisma, talent, an<l musical ability corn bine ro make him quite possibly the greatest indi­vidual in the world today.

In many of his incomparable songs, Ozzy touches on issue that other artists have neirher rhe cour­age nor rhe profound in ighr to explore fully.

L1 "Ferries Wear Boots" O'ZZ'f delves the mind of the narcotic de­pendent. When he commands us, in rhe song of rhe same name, ro "Bark at the Moon." he speaks ro a world body that is too easily influenced, be.gging us to realize our complacency before ir leads ro our destruction.

In "l\ lr. Crowley," the former front man ofBlack abbath seeks to tmderstand the root of religious dif­ference and rherebysho\\'U the dan­gers of rhe all-too-prevalent "rhem agai.n.t us" mentality propagated by the world's religious institutions.

In modem hymns such as "Rat Salad,"" abbarh Bloody Sabbarh," "Crazy Babies,'' and '"The \'{rizard,'' I detect. no meaningful social message at all, bur even the most avid fans of those ubiquitous Christian non-musicians-Creed-could nor help but to agree with me that those songs just plain rock. In fact. it is hard to argue that they do nor "rock like Saran! "

As for Marquardt's accusation that Mr. Osbourne "has been known to bite the head off of ani­mals du ring live stage perfor­mances," I remind you, rhat ac­cording to Ozz), he rhought that the bat was fake! Furthermore, he claims that he was high when the oral decapitation occurred!

rill. ro fully appreciate Ozz) Osbourne is a concept many find challenging. This is completely wider­standable. P,,Iany literary. social an<l musical geniw;es are not fully recog­riized during their lifetime. Consider Fyordor Dosroevsky, \X'olfgang

Amadeus Mozart <md Jesus Christ. All these figures ha\-e legacies that we fully comprehend now, yet they were jailed. laughed at and crucified dur­ing their lifetimes. And so it must be with Ozzy, even though, as Ozzy maintains, he is "a nom1al guy; I don 'r hang upside down in a castle drink­ing blood all day."

T ragicalJy, due to his superior and incomprehensible mental attributes, O'ZZ'f will for some time be pilloried as a cancer on the skin of "down home" Americana.

Mr. Marquardt, what is fright­ening is not Ozzy Osbourne sing­ing "'Dehuminizer," it is your po­lirical break with "War Pig" George Bush due to his acceptance of unsurpassed musical genius Ozzy Osbourne that concerns me.

Thar you are turned off by Osbourne is understandable, as stated above. manyofl\lozarr's peers fowid his talent elementary. However, George Bush's first decision worthy of any respect. to invite Ozzy to \'<'ash-

i.ngton, has been the sole cause of) change of opinion on the President

While I am glad that uyou are drawing the line," and going again& rhose conservative opinions of family and "most of d1e conseivarive people that you associate with," I am still not entirely content with your condemnation of f'..lr. Bush.

My question is, why did Mr. Marquardt"s change of opinion na. happen sooner? Quire simply, aren't George Bush's appointment of My Lai accomplice Colin Powell to his Presidential cabinet, Bush's mainte­nance of useless and deadly sanctioos on a militarily impotent Iraq. and his support of rhe murderous Israeli na­tion state many times more anathemi to the "Christian ethics" GeorgeM: purporrs to endorse rhan any ~ nition he may give to rhe relatively in­nocuous Ozzy Osbourne)

Ibis then, J\1r. Marquardt, is what this "liberal is thinking ...

I have nothing agamsr porrs. In fact. I enjoy them as both a spectator and participant. But \\'hen I am forced to sub idize the sports program through manda­rory fees, I have to question rhe validity of rhe Board of Regent athletic fee policy.

·armers may be cut by Congress USDA provides assistance for livestock watering facilities

LawmJkers ma) cut $2.-! lion in aid for catrle ranch , and \\ heJt and barley mers 1n rhc High Plains m the farm bill under dis­;sion by Congress. The problem comes down umbers: the <)cnate's version he farm bill 1s about $6 bil-

1 m·er what both House and ate leaders hJ\'e agreed to nd on the 10-year farm bill. And since the $2.4 billion .1ld largely go to just one re­n - the northern tier of prai­-arm land m ,\lonrana, North ota and South Dakoca -it is

1erable to bemg cut by law­·ers who wish to protect nding on wider programs. The farm bill conference 1mittee met Tuesday to

up talks on the differ­' es between the House and

ate \'ersion of the legisla­\ifore than 100 issues arc

er negotiation. en. Max Baucus, D­

' t . had won support for reliel package from 68 •r senators when he intro­d it as an amendment to

i enatc farm bill. fhe language also won the

>itance of Rep. Earl Pomeroy, l.D .. and Rep. Denny

•herg. R-Mont. The two se members asked Rep.

Larr~ Combest. R-Texas. chair­man of the House Agriculture Committee, for help putting the relief package into the final ver­sion of the bill.

Baucus had added a similar amendment to the econom ic stimulus plan which had died in the U.S. Senate. His spokesman, Bill Lombardi. said the senator would stick the relief measure onto any bill that wa moving through Congress.

"This was the biggest thing he heard during the recess while he was traveling along the Hi­Line." Lombardi said. "He hasn't given up the fight at all. He's fighting hard right now to get it into the farm bill. That's his immediate goal."

Keith \X'illiams. a spokes­man for Combest, said the Re­publican chairman has not raken a position on the relief.

Pomeroy was not optimistic about its chances.

"The enate is over the target allowed for the farm bill b~ abouc $6 billion. The) 've got to take $6 billion out of their bill," Pomeroy said.

Combest and en. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, agreed earlier this year to cap farm spending ar $73 .5 billion.

"Some are saying that if you have to cur, rhey should just cut loose some of rhose farmers who had losses last year," Pomeroy said. "That's

terrible. but ir's onl} affecting farmers from one region _ farmers in other parts of the country had a great year. "

Wheat and barley farmers in orrh Dakota suffered a loss of

abour $200 million last year due to too much water and humidity.

But in Montana and western South Dakota, the problem was drought. Farmers and ranchers suffered millions in losses due ro too little water.

Dallas Lawrence, a spokes­man for Rehberg, said the first­term congressman is already talking to other lawmakers about a supplemental emer­gency appropriations bill. to be debated separately from the farm bill. if Baucus' disaster re­lief measure is stripped in the conference committee.

"Rehberg and I are pushing hard. Right now, it's just impos­sible to see the outcome," Pomeroy said.

Rep. John Thune, R- .D ., said he expects that a separate emergency aid bill would have a greater chance of being adopted in Congress. The scare of Montana was recenrh named a drought disaster are;. Three easter n counties in

outh Dakota also were de­clared drought disasters.

"There's some support for it in the conference, but there's also some concern over what it will do to the budget," Thune said.

James B. Johnson ecial to the Ex onent

Bozeman producers in 31 drought-stricken Montana counties may qualify for cost­share assistance for livestock watering facilities. says Jim Johnson , an economist with the Montana Stare University Extension Service.

The following counties have been approved for the USDA's Emergency Conserva­tion Program: In central Mon­tana: Fergus, Garfield, Golden Valley, Judith Basin, Meagher, Musselshell , Petro­leum , Stillwater, weetgrass, Wheatland. and Yellowstone; and in southeast Montana: Big Horn , Carbon, Carter. Custer. Dawson , Powder Ri\'er, Rose­bud and Treasure.

Along Montana's northern border Blaine , Glacier, Hill , Liberty and Toole counties were approved. Elsewhere in the state, Broadwater. Cas­cade, J effe rson . Pondera, Teron, Sheridan and Valley counties obtained approval. Producers in those counties ma) apply for cost-share funds for permanent and temporary solutions to livestock watering problems.

Producers in the appro\'ed counties could receive up to 50 percent of the allowable costs for permanent practices

such as well-deepening. spring development and piping of water; and up to 64 percent of the allowable costs for tempo­rary practices like the pur­chase of small, moveable wa­tering tanks.

Co unty Farm er\'1ce Agency committees determine producers· eligibility for assis­tance and approve the cost­share requests. These commit­tees will also determine the levels of cost-share assistance each producer can receive. The Natural Resources Con­servation Service may offer needed technical assistance for the emergenq conserva­tion practices.

Producers seeking cost-share assistance must meet several con­ditions:

A drought-related problem must exist.

Any practice approved must be initiated primarily to deal with the drought-related problem.

Only farms and ranches that h ad adequate livestock watering systems before the drought are eligible.

There must be adequate range and pasture residue for livestock in the area served by the proposed water facilit} at the time of the request for as­sistance.
