f people driving through town saw an unusual amount of old furniture, broken chairs, and rusted appliances on the side of the road last week, there was a reasonable explanation. The City of Hettinger organized their first citywide cleanup day last week, giving Hettinger residents a chance to get rid of their unwanted junk at no cost to the resident. While the City has hosted similar cleanup events in the past, this was the first time county employees traveled around town to pick up unwanted garbage left on the side of the street. According to City Council Member James Lindquist, the City organized the cleanup day to benefit Hettinger residents and especially the elderly. Linquist said that the original idea for a citywide clean up originated from local resident Allen Mcintyre. For the last few years, Mcintyre has regularly approached the City and asked the local council to support people who either donât have the physical or financial means to get rid of their heavier trash. âA lot of other towns slightly bigger than Hettinger do these types of cleanup initiatives,â said Lindquist.

ongratulations to the elementary football team on winning the 2019 championship at Bowman on September 28. They finished the regular season with a 4-1 record
with wins over Killdeer, Heart River, New England and Baker. Their lone loss was to Bowman, 34-24. But they rebounded in the championship playoff game to avenge that loss with a 14-6 victory over Bowman. Comments from coach Kortney Kindsfater;
âOur Young Night Hawks played their absolute hearts out. Temperature was in the low 40s, it rained with 20-30mph winds during the whole game mixing with sleet at times, and this young team NEVER gave up one ounce. Needless to say, the conditions were completely
miserable and our boys took home the Championship not only because they out-played Bowman, but also greatly in part because they out toughened them. Right down to the last defensive down, they fought with everything they had to hold Bowman and take this Cham-
pionship with a 14-6 victory. I am still in awe thinking about how strong and determined our boys were. They were miserably COLD, playing in the downpour and picking themselves up time and again off the extremely wet FOOTBALL Âť PAGE 3
