The U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers encourages
outdoor enthusiasts to
recreate responsibly and
safely this holiday weekend.
Corps officials are expecting
increased activity on its water
and land-based recreation
sites.
“The fourth of July is a
great time to celebrate with
family and friends, but it
can also be one of the most
dangerous weekends of
the year,” said Park Ranger
Christie Johnson. “This year,
with COVID-19 still a concern
and most public holiday events
cancelled, we want to make
sure that people who come
out to recreate understand the
risks and are prepared.”
No fireworks — Do not
bring your personal fireworks
as use of fireworks is prohibited
on Corps land except through
special event permits.

waters and nice weather is “Geronimo!”.... or is it “Cowboy Up!”

Letter to the Buzz
Covid Testing – what you should know
Most of the hundred available Covid tests are of
unproven accuracy. Only a few have been validated
by the CDC which may require no more than an
endorsement by a third party. One of the more common
tests, the Abbott Test, has a sensitivity and specificity of
60-70 percent.
In medicine, validity is expressed as percent
sensitivity and specificity when compared to a gold
standard. The closest thing to a gold standard for Covid
is the terminal or near terminal Covid patient. The
current tests have a sensitivity of zero to ninety-plus
percent while some are nothing more than scams (see
San Antonio Health Department half million dollar
loss). A 95% sensitivity and specificity will result in five
missed cases and five false positive cases.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology example:
Given a 5% incidence of infection in a population
that is tested with a test accuracy of 95% sensitivity and
95% specificity results in a true accuracy of 50% — save
your money and flip a coin!
Montana example:
With a population of one million and a “true” case
incidence of 750 (0.006886 percent) infected. Apply the
math at 95% sensitivity and 95% specificity and the test
results are as follows:
38 true positives missed
50,000 false positives, healthy people with
erroneous test results
A Montanan with a positive test in this setting
has the probability of true Covid infection of one in a
thousand and 999 to 1 that is a false positive test in a
non-infected person with its irreversible baggage.
Use the test and its information with caution.
Avoid crowds, keep a six foot distance and suit yourself
regarding face masks. If you are sixk the test are of some
value.

Why is it ‘Geronimo!’
We don’t know whether the wild man on the front
page of today’s Buzz yelled “Geronimo!” or not when he
dove off the makeshift diving board, but did you ever
wonder where that habit practiced by cliff divers, bungee
jumpers, or even just kids fooling around and jumping
into a lake came from?
The motto dates all the way back to 1940,the lead up
to World War II and the origin of paratroopers when the
Army was still developing the strategy of dropping troops
out of planes. On the eve of the first test jump, soldiers
from from Fort Benning started a night of drinking with
a viewing of a wild west
movie beforehand. This
was reportedly inspired by
the 1939 film “Geronimo”
starring Andy Devine and
Chief Thundercloud.
After the movie, Pvt.
Aubrey Eberhardt boasted
that he wasn’t scared of the
jump, despite being the
tallest man in the unit. This
caused his fellow soldiers to
call him out on his bragging,
saying he would forget his Geronimo, a Bedonkohe
name at the door, as the Apache, kneeling with rifle,
troops were supposed to 1887.
shout their name when they jumped.
Everyone in their jump group successfully jumped —
all the soldiers remembered their names and shouted them
as they made their jumps. But the 6’8” Eberhardt did them
one better — when his turn at the door came, he shouted
“Geronimo!” And a new military tradition was born.
Some of the top military brass weren’t in love with
the new tradition, but others thought it evoked the bravery
and daring of the Apache chief — the last holdout against
American expansion to the West. They let the paratroopers
keep the tradition.
When the 501st Parachute
Infantry Regiment was activated
at Camp Toccoa, Georgia
on November 15th, 1942,
“Geronimo” was confirmed as
the unit’s official motto with
the permission of the real
Geronimo’s family.
Civilians, taking the leap
while yelling “Geronimo!”, just kinda’
took it from the paratroopers. However, in Kevin’s case, he
probably declared, “Hold my Coors Light and watch this.”

Nashua and Fort Peck areas
got some boomers Thursday
While it was pretty mild in Glasgow late Thursday
afternoon and evening, that wasn’t the case in areas
around and between Fort Peck and Nashua where a
thunderstorm dumped a pile of rain including hail,
enough to put slush on Highway 117 a few miles south
of Porcupines territory! However, the hail storms
were only about dime-sized and on the soft side. The
temperature briefly took a dive to 55 while driving
conditions allowed for 25-to-35. Sanchez added that
Nashua got another round at 10:00 last night
Chances for showers and thunderstorms will begin
to increase as soon as Friday afternoon and evening, with
increasing chances for severe weather across portions of
central and eastern MT, and western ND, something to
consider for those with travel plans across the region.
Large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain are all
possible with some of the storms, and places that see the
steadiest rainfall amounts may experience gumbo roads
and minor flooding, especially in poor drainage areas.
This unsettled pattern will likely continue through the
weekend and into the week ahead at times, so please
monitor the forecast for updates. Have a plan of action
ready and stay safe this holiday weekend!

Law enforcement out in full force for the holiday
The Valley County Sheriff ’s Office and the Glasgow
Police Department wants everyone to enjoy the Fourth
of July celebrations and our country’s independence
which brings many things to mind – family, friends,
food, and fireworks.
But all too often, alcohol and driving are added
to the mix with tragic results. Law enforcement is
increasing patrols on the roads in Valley County and
the City of Glasgow), along with the Montana Highway
Patrol statewide, around the Fourth of July holiday to
remind motorists to drive sober or get pulled over.
Summer is the deadliest time of year for motor
vehicle crashes. Over the last decade 48% of all fatal
crashes and 45% of all serious injury crashes in
Montana occurred between June and September – the
period of time known nationally as the “100 Deadliest
Days.” Historically, the 100 Deadliest Days in Montana
has represented 50% of the annual roadway fatalities
involving an impaired driver.
“There is no excuse for driving while impaired,”
said Undersheriff Chris Richter. “It’s every driver’s
responsibility to be sober and take traffic safety
seriously – for themselves, their friends and family,
and everyone else on the road.
Undersheriff Richter encourages everyone to
make a responsible plan before the Fourth of July
celebrations begin; whether that means having a
designated driver, calling a cab, ordering a ride share
or offering a sober ride to others if you’re not drinking.
It is illegal to drive in Montana with a BAC (blood
alcohol content) of .08 or higher, and the consequences
include a DUI charge, having your driver’s license
revoked, mandatory classes, possible jail time, and up
to $10,000 in fines and legal fees. Unfortunately, in the
event of an impaired driving crash, the cost can be
serious injury or even death.
This Fourth of July celebrate your freedom by
making the right choice. If you choose to drink, plan
ahead for a safe, sober ride. Do your part to help
Montana reach Vision Zero – zero deaths and zero
serious injuries on our roads – by always driving
sober, buckling up and calling 911 to report suspected
impaired driving.
