An employee checking asphalt levels from the top of a tank at the M.R. Asphalt facility north of Hamilton, Mont., fell 15 feet, hitting his head on a concrete structure supporting the tank. A willful violation was cited for failing to provide a guardrail or fall protection on the working surface. A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.

“This one-day early winter survey provides data that scientists use to identify areas and habitats that are important to birds in the winter. Audubon scientists also used data from Christmas Bird Counts to identify 177 birds, including the American Robin, who are wintering farther north in response to warming temperatures.
This year the Christmas Bird Count will be conducted between December 14 and January 5".
