  Te final 2015 nonresident visitornumbers were released April 27 by theInstitute or ourism and RecreationResearch at the University o Montana.Researchers ound the 2015 economiccontribution o 11.7 million nonresident

travelers to Montana was $3.7 billion.  Tese visitors directly supportedmore than $3.1 billion o economicactivity and 46,000 Montana jobs andindirectly supported an additional $2billion o economic activity and over16,000 more jobs.  Visitation was up 7 percent in 2015,with 11.7 million travelers visiting thestate during the year, said Kara Grau, IRRassistant director o economic analysis.

Forty-our percent, or 5.2 million, o those visitors were in the state during the thirdquarter o July through September.  Forty-eight percent o spending bytravelers during 2015 occurred duringthe third quarter, totaling over $1.7billion, with travel groups spending anaverage o $153.51 per day during thosesummer months.  During the first and second quarters

o 2015, traveler groups spent anaverage o $156.29 and $130.55 per dayrespectively, and totaled $377 millionand $800 million. Fourth quarter groupspending averaged $156.04 per daytotaling nearly $744 million. Overall

nonresident travelers spent a total o $3.7billion in Montana during 2015.  Tough total spending bynonresident travelers was down 6 percenrom 2014, much o that reduction is dueto significantly lower uel prices during2015. A ull 32 percent o travelersexpenditures during 2014 went towarduel. Much less o nonresidents’ dailytravel budget went toward uel purchaseduring 2015 – just 20 percent, in act.

  “Spending on uel is generally thelargest expense or nonresidents travelingin Montana,” IRR director NormaNickerson said. “Tat was still the casein 2015, but not to the extent that we’veseen in the past. raveling through ourexpansive state cost our visitors muchless last year, meaning they were able toput that money toward other things andother experiences while they were here.”

  While suturing a cuton the hand of a 75 year

old rancher whose handwas caught in the squeeze

gate while working cattle,the doctor struck up aconversation with the old

man. Eventually the topicgot around to Obama.

  The old rancher said,“Well, ya know, Obama is a

Post Turtle .”  Not being familiar with

the term, the doctor asked,“What is a post turtle ?”

  The old rancher said,“Well, when you're drivingdown a country road and

you come across a fencepost with a turtle balanced

on top, that's a post turtle .”  The old rancher saw the

puzzled look on the doctor'sface so he continued to

explain. “You know he didn'get up there by himself; he

doesn't belong up therehe doesn't know what todo while he's up there; he's

elevated beyond his abilityto function; and you just

wonder what kind of idiot puhim up there to begin with.”

  As Montanans look to enjoy the greatoutdoors this spring and summer, MontanaDepartment o Public Health and HumanServices (DPHHS) and local public healthofficials urge everyone to ollow a ew simple

steps to prevent tick bites and their illnesses:Limit, repel, and inspect.  State public health officials receive an averageo eight tick-borne illness reports every year, themost common being Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever,ularemia, and Colorado ick Fever. “Te best deenseagainst tick-borne illnesses is by spraying your legs,ankles, pants, socks, and shoes with insect repellent,”said DPHHS epidemiologist Christine Mulgrew.  Public Health experts emphasize a 3-step approachto prevent tick bites:

   LIMIT:icks live in wooded, brushy, or grassy areasso walk in the center o trails and mow your propertywhere you and your pets spend time.  REPEL:  Wear long, light-colored pants and socksto spot ticks more easily and use insect repellents.Repellents containing up to 30 percent DEE can be usedon the skin or clothing. Repellents with lower DEE

DPHHS Offers Advice To Prevent Tick Bitesconcentrations might need to be applied morerequently. Repellents containing permethrincan be used on clothing, but not on skin. Oneapplication to pants, socks, and shoes may beeffective through several washings.  INSPECT: Check your skin careully orticks afer returning rom outdoor activities

especially i you were in wooded, brushy, or grassyareas. Trowing clothes into a drier on high or 10minutes, even beore washing, best does de-tickingclothing. Remember to inspect children and animalsafer an outing.  Te most common symptoms o tick-borneinections (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) usuallyoccur about five to 10 days ollowing the tick bite and caninclude ever and chills, aches and pains, rash, nausea

 vomiting, muscle pain, loss o appetite, and headache varying degrees. Although easily treated with antibioticsthese diseases can be difficult or physicians to diagnose.  As the disease progresses, symptoms may includerash, abdominal pain, joint pain, and diarrhea. Tedisease can be severe and most patients need to behospitalized. Early recognition and treatment o theinection decreases the risk o serious complications.  “See your doctor immediately i you have beenbitten by a tick and experience symptoms,” Mulgrewsaid. While anyone can be inected, children under 10

years o age are at highest risk.  I a tick is ound and is attached, ollow these stepsto saely remove the tick:1. Use fine-tipped, “pointy” tweezers to grasp the tick

as close to the skin’s surace as possible.2. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist

or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts tobreak off and remain in the skin. I this happensremove the mouth-parts with tweezers. I youare unable to remove the mouth easily with clean

tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.3. Afer removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bitearea and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodinescrub, or soap and water.

 DO NOT  use olklore remedies such as “painting”

the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly, or using ahot match to make the tick detach rom the skin. Teymay even make things worse by stimulating the tickto release more saliva or regurgitate gut contents andincrease the chances o transmitting disease.
