Dominator 3: Built Ford Tough

The Dominator 3 made a late-lunch pit stop at Pizza Hut

in Glasgow this past Saturday afternoon and created
quite the stir as passersby stopped by to take gawk
at this unusual vehicle. It is the third Storm Research
Vehicle (SRV) in a fleet of Dominators featured in the
television documentary series Tornado Chasers that
premiered on September 19, 2012 on TVNweather.
com. The program follows meteorologist Reed Timmer
and his team as they attempt to intercept tornadoes
in Tornado Alley in the United States and Canada.
They are also now featured regularly on the Discovery
Channels documentary reality television series Storm
Chasers. Using a Ford Super Duty 350 diesel pickup
truck as the base, this third armored tank-like vehicle

in the Dominator fleet is bigger, stronger, and faster

and built to handle up to EF5 tornado winds over 200
mph! The shell is designed out of bulletproof sheet
metal and transparent Lexan armor to protect against
flying debris. The vehicle also features a roll cage and
NASCAR-style safety seats, an electric winch, hydraulic
anchoring spikes, and gull-wing doors for the driver,
front and rear passengers. According to Sean Schofer,
driver of the Dominator 3 and also a meteorologist, the
price tag for this Tornado Chaser was about a half a
million dollars!
And yes, they were in northeast Montana to track
Saturday nights storm that was expected to be a
hard-hitter.

OBITUARY

Smokey Stover

Donald Smokey LeRoy Stover, 81, Nashua, MT

passed away May 19 at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital,
Glasgow, MT after having been recently diagnosed with
cancer.

Born June 29, 1934, in Nashua, Smokey was the son of
Raymond and Muriel (Keil) Stover. He was just 18 months
old when his mother died, and his father died when he was
ten. He was then raised by his grandparents, Jim and Alice
Keil. Smokey attended Nashua schools, graduating in 1952.

Smokey began working for his uncle, Jim Keil, at age 16
in heavy equipment, a job he continued virtually throughout
his life. He worked briefly in Texas as a seismographer
when he was 19. He entered the US Army in 1957, serving
two years as clerk/typist in Anchorage, AK. Following his
discharge, he returned to his work with Uncle Jim. He
held many road construction jobs: Valley County Road
Department, self-employed contractor, Fort Peck Corps of
Engineers, and, most recently, Kirkland Ranch Estates.
Smokey married Vivian Murch July 6, 1957, Nashua,
and they raised their four children there. Smokey (nickname
derived from the comic strip, Smokey Stover) was very
active in his community: longtime town council member,
a chairman of the Nashua All-School Reunion committee
since its inception, Nashua Sleighers, and a member of Our
Redeemers Lutheran Church.
A talented leather worker, Smokey was a lifelong
New York Yankees fan. He was also a wonderful, loving

husband,
father,
and
grandpa, especially loving
to tease those grands and
great-grands.
He was
conversational and had
many friends, who will miss
him greatly.
Smokey was preceded
in death by his brother Jim,
and his in-laws, Dewey and Beatrice Murch, as well as
numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Smokey is survived by his wife of nearly 59 years,
Vivian; his four children, Alice (Myron) Redfield, Karyn
(Tim) Ahmann, Betty Barnett (Jim Gartside), and Larry
(Tanya) Stover. His grandchildren are Logan (Justine)
Redfield and Cole (Emily) Redfield; Nicole (Cody) Tofte,
Chad (Jennifer) Cuddigan, and Brandon Cuddigan;
Renee (Shawn) Sibley, Kyle (Cassie) Shipp, and Shaylin
Barnett; Dawson and Houston Stover. Ten greatgrandchildren also survive him, as well as many nieces,
nephews, cousins, and extended family.
A viewing will be held Monday, May 23, at Bell
Mortuary from 6-8 pm.

A celebration-of-life funeral service will be held Tuesday,
May 24, at Our Redeemers Lutheran Church, Nashua, at 11
am with Pastor Bonnie Novak officiating. Burial will follow
at the Nashua Cemetery and a reception at the church.
Condolences may be left at bellmortuarymontana.com.

Tough break for the trout at Great Falls Hatchery

An unplanned electrical disruption at Rainbow
Dam near Great Falls a week and a half ago will result
in the loss of more than 500,000 trout from the Giant
Springs Fish Hatchery.
At about 4 a.m. on May 12, the generating unit at
Rainbow Dam tripped offline. The unplanned event
caused a temporary loss of power at the dam and
interrupted NorthWestern Energys ability to control
and monitor the water elevation in the reservoir behind
the dam. During a period of about 35 minutes, water
levels in the reservoir increased by 18 inches (1.2 feet
above full pool for the reservoir).
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks operates the
hatchery and FWP staff found out about the event after
arriving for work May 12. The river water had receded,
but FWPs measurements at the hatchery revealed
the water had risen about one inch above the boards
separating the raceways from the river.
Giant Springs Fish Hatchery is located upstream
and adjacent to the Rainbow Dam reservoir. With no
way to confirm Missouri River water didnt enter the
raceways, FWP officials must consider the more than
450,000 rainbow and 50,000 brook trout housed in
the outside raceways infected. Most will be destroyed.
About 20,000 will be put into the river immediately
adjacent to the hatchery and 500 will go into the
childrens fishing pond near the hatchery.

The inside raceways and tanks at the hatchery were
not infected by river water.

This is an extremely tough decision, but we felt the
only course of action was to destroy the fish in the outside
raceways, said Eileen Ryce, FWP Hatchery Bureau
Chief and acting Fisheries Division Administrator. We
take the health of our fisheries very seriously and our
tolerance for risk to the publics resource is very low.
The Missouri River is known to be infected with
whirling disease, a parasite that can be lethal to young
trout. And though whirling disease is a concern, the
unknown other pathogens that could be in the river
water also made salvaging the trout problematic.

More important than whirling disease is the overall
exposure to the river water itself, Ryce said. This is
a very unfortunate circumstance and the decision to
euthanize these fish was not taken lightly. It affects our
hatchery staff very deeply.
Giant Springs, like other FWP hatcheries, is on a
secure water system operating only on fish-free spring
water. That ensures the water supply is free of fish
pathogens.
We dont raise any trout on untreated river water
because of the general disease concerns, Ryce said.
Once the fish are destroyed and the raceways
emptied, theyll be disinfected and the hatchery will be
back online.

FWP operates 12 hatcheries around the state and is
also the licensing authority for Montanas private fish
hatcheries. It is agency policy not to transplant fish from
infected hatcheries. Agency rules also prohibit private
hatcheries that are under quarantine from planting fish
in any water body.

The trout from Giant Springs were being raised for
stocking efforts for reservoirs, lakes and ponds around
Montana, including FWP Region 6. The planned fish
stocking will continue with trout from other state
hatcheries and donations from hatcheries operated by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Were able to spread the burden of replacing these
fish around to our other hatcheries and were also
fortunate to have hatchery partners to help us find
ways to make up for this loss, Ryce said. We anticipate
being able to fulfill most of our stocking plans for this
year.
NorthWestern Energy has a longstanding
partnership with FWP and has worked closely with
the agency since the unplanned event at Rainbow
Dam. NorthWestern has agreed to share in the cost
of disposing of the fish and the subsequent hatchery
clean-up. The company will also work with FWP on the
development of protective reservoir-level monitoring
system for the hatchery.

NorthWestern is taking steps to improve the power
feed system to Rainbow Dam. The company will develop
a redundant reservoir-elevation monitoring system and
establish a plan to provide early notification of future
potential changes in water levels in the reservoir that
could affect hatchery operations.

Rainbow Dam and its other Montana hydroelectric
facilities operate under a Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) license and NorthWestern has
notified FERC of the event. Along with the notification,
NorthWestern outlined to FERC the corrective actions
it will take to prevent reoccurrence.
FWPs Giant Springs Fish Hatchery raises four
genetic strains of rainbow trout, along with brook trout.
These rainbow trout strains include Arlee, Eagle Lake,
Arlee/Erwin, and Gerard.
The hatchery is fed by water from Giant Springs,
which is one of the largest natural springs in the
country, producing about 150 million gallons of water
each day. Like all FWP trout hatcheries, Giant Springs
is on a secure water system, meaning it uses water only
from Giant Springs in order to avoid disease.
FWP operates 12 fish hatcheries around the
state. The hatchery system produces about 45 million
warmwater and 8.4 million coldwater fish annually.
