NIGHT HAWKS ARE REGION V CHAMPS Team gets a bye in first week of playoffs with victory

By Sheldon Christenson For The Record

playoff game with be in Hettinger on October 24.

The Holsteins were probably the biggest team the Night Hawks have faced this year, and they pretty much halted the Night Hawks strong running game in the first half.

But substitute HettingerScranton quarterback Hudson Pierce had a nice game in the passing de-

partment. Pierce had a touchdown pass called back due to a penalty, but on the very next play he found Isaiah Kludt for a 50-yard pass to give the Night Hawks a temporary lead of 6-0.

The Holsteins scored the next two touchdowns to take a 14-6 lead at the end of the first half. Both NSGU touchdowns came

with the help of Hettinger/Scranton. Pierce was intercepted and the Holsteins scored on that possession. On the Night Hawks next possession they ended up having to kick out of their own end zones due to penalties, and NSGU returned it to the 1-yard line and scored on the very next play.

The second half be-

longed to the Night Hawks as their defense stiffened and kept the Holsteins out of pay dirt. Tanner Sanford quickly tied the score at the start of the second half on a 65-yard touchdown run, and the 2-point conversion was successful. Hettinger-Scranton scored twice in the fourth

Ehlers had the event won after that, and she took home her first saddle award.

“That secured it for me, nobody could catch me,” Ehlers said.

Between June 20 and September 25 there were 23 rodeo events and then the finals.

Ehlers said on any given event there were 25-50 girls competing, but for the finals they only invited the top 12 competitors.

Ehlers has been competing in rodeos since the early age of five. Now, at 24, the breakaway roping event is one of her favorites, in part because of the difficulty level.

NEWS BRIEFS

City of Hettinger Child Care Cooperative Project Participants

By Shirley Brentrup

Executive Director of REAP Investment Fund, Inc. The REAP Investment Fund, Inc. received a grant in 2014 to do two pilot projects to create a business/ parent cooperative child care in the cities of Hettinger and Rolette in North Dakota. We started in Hettinger with surveys and data collection. We shared the findings with the community in the local newspaper and radio. Much to our surprise, that information spurred private investment and the opening of a new child care facility for 30 children.

We were a bit taken aback by this event and weren’t sure how or if we should proceed. Attendance at the last steering committee meeting was marginal. When the project began in Hettinger the licensed capacity was 55 children whereas currently the number has risen to 74. It appears the private child care businesses in the city are doing well and are stable.

After discussions with the project team members, it has been decided we will discontinue our efforts in the city of Hettinger. Should anyone disagree with this decision, please contact me by October 25th. We would certainly reconsider but would need to have committed interest to move forward.

We do believe that the published data and surveys we provided were important. We may have inadvertently stumbled across a need in our rural counties.

That is the need for good local data to encourage individuals to create child care businesses to meet community needs. We have decided to give this a try and to use some of the funding remaining in the project to provide local data on child care needs in several other counties to see if we get a similar response.

Should Hettinger parents and businesses want to revisit the idea of a child care cooperative, you can contact the North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives. Their division called the Rural Electric and Telecommunications Development Center works with groups to create cooperative organizations to meet local and regional needs. Their staff has been assisting in this project with the sole purpose of learning more about childcare cooperatives and to emulate this project in other areas of the state.

If you should become interested in a childcare located in your business, you should contact your county child care licensor and contact the Dickinson State University Strom Center in Dickinson for more business information. Business-located childcares can provide care for up to 10 children under certain guidelines. There are several in North Dakota you can visit and learn from.

In closing, please accept our thanks for contributing to the survey, participating in the interviews and attending the steering committee meetings. If you have been wondering about the city of Rolette, they have a steering committee and are looking at possible sites and funding to meet their desperate child care needs.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Pastor Ron Nelson returns to Africa Thursday, October 15, Pastor Ron Nelson left Hettinger to begin a trip to Cameroon, Africa. He flies from Fargo to Minneapolis on the October 16, and from Minneapolis to Paris, France that same evening, arriving in Paris on the October 17. Then from Paris to Cameroon the afternoon of the October 17. He lands in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, and will wait there and on the October 18 will take an overnight train to Ngaoundéré where he will spend most of the six months overseas.

He has been requested to come by the staff at the studio Radio Sawtu Linjiila (Radio Voice of the Gospel) which he started 50 years ago. The broadcasts prepared by that studio are mostly in the Fulani language. The Fulani people inhabit countries south of the Sahara all the way from Central African Republic to Senegal at the western tip of Africa.

There are estimated to be about 17 million Fulani people and at least 95% of them are Muslim.

It appears that the churches which have supported the studio in the past have been losing the vision of the importance of reaching Muslims with the Gospel and so they have been diminishing their support of the studio.

The staff wants Nelson to reawaken that vision and provide incentive for churches to renew their interest and support of that ministry. The studio

Map of Cameroon. is located in the city of Ngaoundéré which is in the middle of the country of Cameroon. In the past, the studio has had support from several church bodies of different denominations. The national bishop of the Lutheran church where the studio is located

has sent an official invitation for Nelson to come, so obtaining a visa was greatly facilitated.

While in Cameroon, Nelson has been asked to also come and teach again in Fulani Christian villages where he taught on the last trip there. The leader

of the village of Gomana, Bello Abubakar, said that the teachings Nelson gave them on the last trip have been very beneficial, so the community is hungry for more. There are four other such villages in Cameroon and they too want some teaching.

Grand River Roundup By Betty Olson

No rain this week, but there was heavy fog last Monday and Tuesday. It almost froze Tuesday morning and Friday morning, but my still unharvested tomatoes managed to survive. There was plenty

of wind on Sunday and Monday. High fire danger alerts were out over the weekend, but thankfully no fires around here, although there were several in both North and South Dakota.

Casey, Taz, and a bunch of the neighbors went to the Hackamore Monday to help Doug and Clint Doll vaccinate and preg test.

Casey and Taz moved our heifers that afternoon and they want everyone to keep an eye out for a naked porcupine. They had to run

seven of the heifers through the chute because they were covered with porcupine quills from one end to the other. The project took a lot of time to yank out all the quills with pliers, but the heifers seemed to appreciate having them gone.

I went down to West River Telephoneís annual meeting Sunday evening to listen to one of my favorite musicians. Butch Samuelson played the piano for us before the pancake supper and, as usual, he made it

Reub and Taz tore down the old stockade at our east place Tuesday while Casey welded on the new steel feedlot fence at the old place. Kevin VanSlooten stopped in for a visit that evening and caught us up on how his Mom and her sisters are doing.

Casey and Taz joined the neighbors to work cows at the Hackamore again on Wednesday. When they got home that afternoon all the guys went over to build the new stockade to replace the one they tore down.

Mountain lion alert, especially for the southern Slim Buttes! Dan Hotchkiss had a big mountain lion come right into his garage to attack two of his dogs in the middle of the night Thursday. When Dan heard the commotion he jumped out of bed and ran out to see what was going on. When the cougar saw him it dropped the dog and headed for Dan. About that time his daughter Jessie came tearing out of the house with a gun and the lion left fast enough that she couldnít get a good shot at it in the dark. Dan called me early Thursday morning to get the phone number of a houndsman.

Two houndsmen brought their hunting hounds up from the Black Hills that afternoon, but it was too late for them to be able to track the lion so be watchful because itís still out there.

This makes four of Hotchkissís dogs that have been attacked by a mountain lion this year. Thankfully, they all lived through it, but it sure made a lot of work for their veterinarian.

There were mass shootings at two more ìgun freeî colleges this week, leaving two dead and several more students wounded.

This makes a total of ten ìgun freeî school shootings just this year. President Obama was greeted by a lot of people protesting his gun control agenda when he traveled to Oregon this week to attempt to meet with the families of the victims of that ìgun freeî college shooting. Many of these families refused to meet with him because of his stance on gun control.

A friend sent me this one sentence editorial that appeared in the Peoria Journal Star that speaks volumes: “A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens.”

Cowboys around here tend to use common sense, even on this issue.†From a cowboy’s perspective participating in a ‘gun buyback program’ because you believe that the criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you believe that the neighbors are having too many kids.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Hello, I’m a Facebook guy. As I said before, I don’t use it a lot. But it is a nice way to catch up on who has cats, which had a baby, and what your grandkids are doing. But I used it for an emergency this week. I’ll start at the beginning.

You can usually tell how good an animal is going to be, by how susceptible it is to injury. If the animal in question is a good running

horse, it will paw through a fence and damn near cut a foot off. If it is a slow, hammer headed horse that will kick you when you walk by, you can run him through a junk yard lined fenced with razor wire and he will not get a scratch on him.

If you have a cat that is a good mouser, it will get run over crossing the road, ran through a hay cutter, or the blue heeler dog will practice fetch with it.

A good bucking horse will get dinged up on chute gate, or pick up a stone and get an abscess in his foot. A no-buck son of a gun can fall out of the back of a truck going down a gravel road

and be grazing in the road ditch by the time you turn around.

I have a dog. Well, actually two dogs. You know Vern. Vern Baker. He’s not much good but he’s a pretty good friend (although we have had falling outs). And he is kind to little kids. And then there is Tyke. Tyke is only a year old. He is a blue heeler.

An overly aggressive blue heeler. I think that is why I no longer have any cats around.

And until last week, I was pretty sure Tyke was going to be an outstanding cattle dog. And he’s a dang good friend. And, he too is good to my grandkids. He will dang sure

chase a bunch of cows.

We do have a little trouble with direction, but he dang sure chases. And he stops pretty dang good if you have a loud voice and a stick or whip in your hand. Kind of like my grandkids. I don’t go anywhere without him.

He loves to ride in back the pickup and bark and snap at semi trucks that we meet. Which is alright with me. But I don’t have an end gate in my pickup.

“Why,” you ask? “Pilot error”.

Last week I was hauling a trailer load of cattle between Halliday and Killdeer. I knew he was in the pickup box when I went through Halliday and got

on the highway. When I reached the pasture, he was gone! I mean really gone. I know that falling our of the back of a pickup going 60 mph pulling a 24 foot trailer full of cattle is pretty much a death sentence. I can tell you that it is hard on saddles, gas cans, and boxes of livestock pour-on. And I knew it had to be hard on a year old dog.

I drove back the entire route, expecting to find a puddle of blue heeler somewhere on Highway 200, a route filled with gravel trucks and water haulers. No dog. I drove it twice.

But I have a niece and another friend who is a

girl (that is different than a girl friend) that posted Tykes picture on facebook. A day later Tyke turned up at Maynard’s ranch. He recognized that this was a quality animal and called around. One of the people he called had seen I was missing a dog.

I stopped there the next night. It was Tyke! A little subdued and stiff but only missing a little hair on his head and a bit of hair on one hip.

So now I am thinking, there is no way this dog can be any good! A good dog would be dead!

But thanks to Maynard and my “peeps”, he is home safe and sound.

Later, Dean

That’s Life By Tony Bender

I was cleaning out a closet when I found the painting I had given to my grandfather almost 25 years ago. It was painted by an old fiddler, Vernon Thompson from White Earth, in the North Dakota Badlands.

The painting depicts a rearing horse, a cowboy hanging on for dear life, and another startled team of horses pulling a wagon as some kind of alien—a Ford Model-T—chugs toward them. It reminded me of the age my grandfather was born into, a transition from the era of the horse to the machine age. That painting hung on Grandpa’s living room wall until he died, and then I got it back.

I paired it on the wall with another western painting by Del Iron Cloud, but no matter how I arranged them, the arrangement was missing something.

Trinity subdues Night Hawks in volleyball

By Sheldon Christenson For The Record

The Trinity Titans volleyball team kept their Region 7 record unblemished as they defeated the Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks 3-0 to improve their region record to 8-0.

Hettinger/Scranton remained in fifth place in the region with a 4-4 record.

The Titans started the evening with their “C” team downing the Night

Hawks “C” team 2-0. The JV match went to the Night Hawks as they won 25-11 and 25-20.

The Night Hawks JV team really played well as a team with their all out hustle and their desire to win was evident.

Freshman Abbie Kludt plays an all around game with her kills, digs, serves, assist and blocks.

The Titans varsity just has too much power. They defeated the Night Hawks varsity by scores of 25-7, 25-15 and 25-7.

The Night Hawks played well in the second set as at one point the score was knotted at 12-12. But their powerful kills and play at the net were just too much for the Night Hawks to overcome. They seemed to always have two blockers at the net ready to block any return.

Seniors Madison Jahner and Kennedy Keator led the Titans with 10 kills each, and seniors Brianna Soehren and Alanna Sickler were close behind with nine and eight, respec-

tively.

Leading the Nighthawks were Lizzy Thompson with six kills and Katelyn Turner added five. Taylor Burwick had 21 assists and in the digs department Thompson had six, Burwick five and Kayla Chadwick four respectively.

The Titans lose the heart of their team in Jahner, Keator, Soehren, Sickler and also their setter Chloe Ridl through graduation.

Maybe next year the Night Hawks can top them.

Weekly Vikings Roundup By Jordan Wright For The Record

Since the Vikings didn’t play this week because of their bye week, I thought this would be a great time to take a look at the rest of the NFC North.

Green Bay Packers – There is no doubt the Packers are the best team in the NFC North. Led by Aaron Rodgers, this team looks unstoppable. Currently the Packers are undefeated, having beat the Bears, Seahawks, Chiefs, 49ers and Rams. Jordy Nelson, one of Rodgers’ favorite receivers, is out for the year, so that might be one reason why the Packers are ranked number 20 in passing yards per game (236.8). However, the Packers are top ten in the NFL in rushing yards per game (126.2), points scored (27.4) and points allowed (16.2). Looking ahead, the Vikings and

Packers will play in Minnesota on November 22 (a game I will be attending, thanks to my wonderful mother who purchased tickets in row 12, right above the player’s tunnel), and in Green Bay January 3.

Chicago Bears – The Chicago Bears have already thrown in the towel on the 2015 NFL season.

It began with trading away Jared Allen to the Carolina Panthers for a sixth round draft pick. They followed that up by trading away 2013 second round draft pick Jon Bostic to the New England Patriots for another sixth round pick. The Jared Allen trade makes sense, since Allen is a defensive end who was miscast in Chicago as an outside linebacker. The Bostic trade doesn’t make as much sense to me. With Bostic gone, the Bears only have four players on the roster who were drafted by the team from 2009 to 2013. The Bears are tied at 27 in the league with 200.2 passing yards per game. They are also 15 in the league in rushing yards per game (116.2), and 28th in both points scored per

quarter with Kludt scampering 12 yards for a touchdown. But prior to the score his acrobatic catch with a defender on him turned into a 60-yard gain to the Night Hawks’ 10-yard line.

On the last Hettinger/Scranton touchdown, with pressure

on him, Pierce managed to find Ethan Dupper in the corner of the end zone.

Pierce ended up going 7-12 good for 155 yards and Sanford led the rushing with 96. I must add that the Holsteins quarterback, Evan Henke, is a very good young player.

game (17.2) and points allowed per game (28.4).

Looking ahead, the Vikings and Bears play in Chicago November 1, and in Minnesota December 20.

Detroit Lions – The Lions are the only winless team in the NFL through five weeks. Not only that, but during last week’s drubbing by the Arizona Cardinals, their quarterback Matthew Stafford was benched in favor of Dan Orlovsky. The Lions are obviously in turmoil right now, but I don’t believe they are as bad as their record indicates.

With an offense that has talents such as Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate, it’s no surprise the Lions are ranked 9 in the league in passing yards per game with 272.4. What is surprising is how bad their running game is, as they rank dead last in the league with only 49 yards per game. The Lions also rank 30 in points scored per game with 16.6, and they are 26 in the league in points given up with 27.6.

Looking ahead, the Lions will play the Vikings again on October 25.

kings have traded starting middle linebacker Gerald Hodges Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers for Nick Easton, an offensive lineman, and a sixth round pick. At first, I wasn’t sure I liked this trade. Giving up a starter for a backup lineman and a late round draft pick doesn’t seem like a fair trade. But the more I thought about it, the more I like the trade.

With Hodges gone, it will clear room for rookie Eric Kendricks to play more.

The move also addresses the biggest weakness of the Vikings, their offensive line. Easton is a rookie, and was Pro Football Focus’ highest rated center in the preseason.

The weekend, the Vikings will stay home and play the Kansas City Chiefs. Currently, the Chiefs are 1-4 and just lost to the Bears in heartbreaking fashion. The Chiefs will also be without the services of their star running back Jamaal Charles, who left last week’s game with a knee injury. On paper, this should be a win for the Vikings, who will be fresh and ready to go after their bye week.

Ernie and Jason Couch to perform at Hettinger Assembly of God

adamscountyextra.com

There’s a new barber in town

Ernie and Jason Couch are set to perform at Hettinger Assembly of God. Ernie and Jason Couch, from Nashville TN, have always strived to present gospel music in a fun, honest, and heartfelt way. Their blend of traditional overtones with new and innovative sounds has lead listeners to refer to the group’s style as “American Gospel.” Their personal and unique musical blend of the past and the present has a way of appealing to listeners of all ages. Both men play multiple instruments, and both have written many original songs which have been recorded by other artists.

Over the last 26 years, Ernie and Jason have traveled thousands of miles together across the United States and Canada, appearing at concert halls, churches, fairs, corporate events and festivals. They relate well to the audience and make sure everyone feels welcome and a part of the music and message.

They always try to present a high energy, entertaining program, featuring good material, good stage presence, and good interaction with the audience. It is always their goal to present a classy program worthy of the subject matter they sing about.

Ernie and Jason have had opportunities to work with various genres of musicians ranging from George Beverly Shea to George Jones, from Petra to Boots Randolph, or Jake Hess to James Earl Jones as well as both being previous members of the famed Plainsmen Quartet. Ernie Couch helped to create the “Celebration” hymnal used by many churches around the country.

The Couch family will be in concert at Hettinger Assembly of God on Sunday, October 25th at 6 pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net Greg Steiner opened Main Street Cuts in the old Charm salon after purchasing it from the previous owners. Steiner took ownership of the business on October 1 and was open for business by October 7.

This isn’t the first time Steiner has cut hair in Hettinger. In 1989 he attended barber college after he saw layoffs on the horizon with his carpentry job. Knowing he had kids at home to provide for, he found that barber college would give him a skilled trade and a fast track to opening his own business.

Following graduation from barber college in Fargo, he apprenticed in Hettinger in 1990 before moving to his own shop in Bowman.

Until recently, Steiner had actually moved away from the barber industry to other various careers before coming back to cutting hair.

He left the industry, in part, because the client pool was thinning out. But recently he has seen a need resurface. When he graduated from barber college there were nearly 400 barbers in the state of North Dakota.

Today that number hovers under 200.

Though he wasn’t always working exclusively as a barber for the past

few years, Steiner said he has kept his skills sharp. There was always someone at his house asking for a cut, be it family or friends, he always had someone in need of a trim.

Thinking he wanted to get back into the barber’s chair, he started to explore possible locations.

“I was looking for options,” Steiner said.

Steiner came across the Charm salon, a place that had been for sale for a little while, and he investigated the business.

He said the fact that there isn’t any competitors in Hettinger was a plus, and that he had no qualms about opening up a shop here because he knew the community would be good to him.

So far that has reigned true. He said in the short time he has been open he has been well received by Hettinger.

One thing he does enjoy about the job is the interaction he gets with the people that fill his chair.

“It’s all about visiting with people,” Steiner said. “And that’s what I missed when I stopped, was the people.”

His next step is going to be recruiting a few more people to work in the salon with him. He has already been speaking with a few cosmetologists, and he hopes to expand soon.

Steiner also said that anyone that

is interested in barber college should come and speak with him. He would be willing to answer any questions and talk about the training, saying that it only takes 10 months to complete with a year of apprenticeship following.

Steiner will operate a shop out of Hettinger and Bowman, and will be at them on an every-other week basis.

His operating hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday but will stay open until 8 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Steiner offers men’s haircuts with a hot lather neck shave, women’s haircuts and style with a blow dryer and curling iron, and kids’ haircuts.

Steiner also is going back to the barber shop tradition and will offer a traditional straight razor neck shave.

When he can get more people into his shop, like a cosmetologist, he will expand the services.

Appointments and walk-ins are welcome, with appointments taking precedence.

Steiner will get to as many people as he can and said “I’m here to help as many people as I can,” but added that he won’t rush through someone to get to the next person.

“I don’t rush through any haircut to get to the next one,” Steiner said.

“I try to do the best I possibly can with each haircut.”

Big Things Happening in Hettinger

Thank you!

Thank you one and all for the lovely cards, well wishes, phone calls, money and beautiful flowers that we received for our 65th anniversary. Especially our kids, who made all this happen and our lovely dinner on the real day. We feel very blessed!

Basin Electric Pledges $100,000!

By Ted Uecker

WRHS Fund Dev. Officer Basin Electric Power Cooperative in Bismarck has notified the Foundation at West River Health Services that they are matching Slope Electric Cooperative’s $100,000 pledge for our new MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition. We are so grateful for this amazingly kind gift.

We have received the first $20,000 and will receive that same amount each of the next four years. Thank you Basin Electric.

Over the past 14 months, your WRHS Foundation has raised $731,000; with $624,500 earmarked for the MRI Campaign. Although we have surpassed our $500,000 MRI fundraising goal, we are moving forward with the MRI Campaign through December, 2015, for three reasons: 1) some people need to see and experience the MRI before they will give toward it, 2) some people who had a good year would like to give to a non-profit for tax purposes in the 4th quarter, and 3) we still have to pay for the balance or $2,376,000 of this $3 million MRI Project!

Speaking of the MRI, we held our MRI Open House and Radiology Equipment Tour on August 19th. Over 200 area folk came to see the amazing lineup of Imaging Equipment at West River. The tours were guided by our own radiology personnel, so they were most informative for the public. Ice cream treats, coffee and lemonade got things started and at the conclusion of the tour, each attendee received an etched glass MRI Addition coffee mug! Our first patient to receive an MRI was on August 10th, so WRHS delivered on our promise to have in-house MRI Services available by August. So far, the new magnetic resonance images have been superb. The quick turnaround time has been an amazing bonus for our physicians. The availability of MRI Services every day has been huge for our patients. And therefore, our patients are being diagnosed way faster than ever before – which will lead to better health for our patients.

Mott Equity Exchange contacted us with a $1,000 gift for the Foundation’s “Ambulance Appreciation Program”. Plus, they convinced CoBank to match their gift with another $1,000. So we have $2,000 more than we had for the Ambulance Appreciation Program! Although we have completed this year’s program, we are going to meet with the leaders of the Mott and Regent ambulance departments and Mott Equity to determine the best use of these funds.

We could let the funds sit for two years until our next ambulance appreciation program or maybe there is a program that needs immediate attention in those area community’s ambulance services. Of course, this will need to be approved by Mott Equity and CoBank, as they initially placed these funds toward the ambulance appreciation fund. Thank you so much to both of these organizations for such amazing gifts (as we were only pursuing $100-$500 gifts for this program).

U.S. Congressman Kevin Cramer accepted our invitation and came to Hettinger for a tour of our new MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition, plus various other parts of West River Health Services including the clinic, surgery center, hospital,

birthing unit, intensive care, emergency and pharmacy. He was most impressed with our technology and was quite smitten with our Brown Chapel.

That same morning, we attended the blade signing event at the Thunder Spirit wind farm project northeast of Hettinger. At the very beginning of his speech, Congressmen Cramer praised WRHS for its awesome technology and high-quality healthcare system throughout the surrounding area communities. The wind farm leaders, including Allete, Wanzek and others, have really done a terrific job of embracing our area communities as well.

A WRHS committee determined the distribution of our most successful Fun Run & Walk yet, as we raised $3,792 from sponsorships, entry fees and raffle ticket sales.

We committed $1,392 to the WRHS Wellness and Rehabilitation Center for exercise equipment; $600 for the Hettinger Backpack Program, helping with nutritional needs of some Hettinger Public School students; $500 for the new MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition Campaign; $500 for the Ambulance Department; $300 toward Western Horizons Care Center for their fitness and bingo programs; $300 for Western Horizons Assisted Living Center and their new exercise programs; and $200 toward The Granary, the new home of the Fun Run & Walk registration and post-race area.

We recently presented the Foundation to our residents at Western Horizons Assisted Living Center. We had a terrific crowd and we enjoyed our visit with them about what the Foundation is and how they could be part of it if they so desired. Thank you to Diane Henderson, Director of the Assisted Living Center, for having us out for the afternoon with her residents.

West River Health Services is working on potential plans for a “Scrubs Camp”, a one-day, five hour camp held in rural ND communities, where 5th-12th grade students are introduced to healthcare careers via hands-on 20-30 minute interactive sessions, led by area healthcare and peripheral health professions.

We applied for a grant with R-COOL and should know soon if we receive it. We have plans to start off small, with about sixty 9th and 10th graders from Hettinger and Scranton Schools attending the camp on March 9th at the Hettinger Armory. Scrubs Camp also includes collaboration with area community organizations such as the Adams County Development Corporation, Hettinger Area Chamber of Commerce, Hettinger and Scranton Fire Departments, Southwest District Health Unit, HOSA, AHEC, Sheriff’s Department, Hettinger & Scranton Public Schools, White Drug Pharmacy, West River Veterinary Clinic, and others. Plus we have commitments from the following for leading the 20-25 minute sessions: optometry, public health nurse, veterinary medicine, ambulance services, dentistry, firemen, personal trainer, pharmacist, family practice physician, chiropractor, massage therapy, physical therapy, mental health, radiology, laboratory, dietician, and others. The goal is to influence students to understand the wide range of options in health care, and even more so, if students

are made aware of career opportunities in their hometown or nearby, they may consider it as a place to return to after college.

Our Foundation visited with Barb and Leroy Farber in regard to our qualified Endowment Fund.

They made a significant contribution to it, as they appreciated the 40% ND Tax Credit, plus their federal tax deduction as well.

So far, less than 10 people have chosen to give toward our endowment fund in the last year. Which, given the 40% tax credit, plus the federal tax credit, is quite the tax savings.

We sincerely appreciate the Farber’s gift and we look forward to the improvements we can make at WRHS via the interest.

If anyone might be interested in the enormous tax savings via contribution to our Endowment Fund, we are always available to meet with anyone at most any time.

We are so excited to proclaim that we have received a $2,500 matching funds agreement with Modern Woodmen of America, via the Lemmon branch and their leader Al Colgrove. We at the Foundation, along with the WRHS Auxiliary and Modern Woodmen, have agreed that if we can raise at least $2,500 through our Auxiliary raffle ticket sales and the Annual WRHS Auxiliary Turkey Luncheon on November 5th at the Hettinger Lutheran Church, then Modern Woodmen will match us $2,500 toward our new MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition Campaign.

The Foundation has helped the Auxiliary acquire the following prizes for their Auxiliary raffle tickets: a $400 butchered and processed lamb from Schauer Sheep Co.; a $300 self-propelled Cub Cadet lawn mower from AgPro Equipment; a $200 gift certificate from Kennedy’s Fresh Foods; and a $150 beef bundle from Uecker Yards Inc. In addition, the Auxiliary will provide a $400 I-Pad Air; a $100 Visa card; $75 of Rada cutlery; and two quilts donated by Kaye McIntyre and Cindy/Rick Olson. This is definitely a $2 raffle ticket that everyone needs to acquire (or what the heck, buy a book for $20!) by seeing an Auxiliary member, the Hettinger Clinic front desk, at the KNDC Farm & Home Show, or at the Auxiliary Turkey Luncheon itself.

We also recently met with Dort Vliem and her daughter, former WRHS Director of Nursing, Barb Stadheim, to discuss the memorial funds accumulated in memory of Albert.

They decided to give the Foundation $1,500 toward the MRI Campaign in Albert’s memory, from family and friends. We are so very appreciative of this awesome gift.

We attended the Pitchfork Fondue put on by the Hettinger Chamber of Commerce at the Hettinger Country Club (unfortunately we could not attend the Lodgepole Fire Department fundraiser event as it was on the same night!); the annual meeting at West River Telephone Cooperative Inc. at Bison, SD; the WRHS annual meeting; we presented our grant proposal in person to Montana Dakota Utilities in Dickinson (our fingers are crossed!); we helped at the Linda & Dan Nudell Benefit Dinner & Silent Auction; we attended the Community Blood Drive; we presented our Scrubs Camp to the Adams County Development Corporation, Het-

tinger City Council, and the Hettinger Area Chamber of Commerce; and we attended the Western Horizons Care Center Strategic Planning meeting.

The Adams County Development Corporation hosted a “Burgers & Brats” event to help raise funds for the new MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition. With over 200 people attending the Granary on a gorgeous mid-September Wednesday evening, we raised $5,045! All 196 burgers and brats were eaten, as well as all the salads and chips, with none left over. Dr. Mark Kristy and CEO Jim Long gave talks about the new MRI Campaign and Dave Muggerud, long-time WRHS respiratory therapist, was given a special “Above & Beyond” quarterly employee recognition award from the Foundation.

Plus, over 180 Auxiliary raffle tickets for the Annual Auxiliary Turkey Luncheon were sold as people waited in line for the scrumptious food. Thank you ACDC and your crew of volunteers!

We are finishing up our initial list of donors for the MRI Campaign. Local woodwork aficionado, Arden Saunders, has constructed a beautiful 3’ x 5’ oak donor board, which will list nearly 300 contributors to the MRI Campaign. In addition, he has also developed a 1’ x 5’ donor board with four rectangular quadrants, one for each of our four largest donors. If you would like to be part of this first round of engraved donor plaques, please send your check written out to WRHSF and earmarked for the MRI Campaign to: WRHSF, Attn: Ted Uecker, 1000 Highway 12, Hettinger, ND, 58639.

The MRI Campaign will remain open through December 31, 2015, but we would like to get these engravings started asap.

Lately many people have asked us at the Foundation – so what’s next?

We are looking at a number of areas, but the most pressing seems to be our individual resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center. We have presented the Foundation’s ideas for a “One Wing At a Time Campaign” to the Western Horizons Living Center Board of Directors. We are moving forward with a committee to look into this idea further. Hopefully, in the next few months or so, we will have set our goals, made our plans and will be out to see you soon.

We presented the Foundation to the members of the Hettinger Community Clothes Closet at their annual meeting. This organization has given over $38,000 to West River Health Services Foundation in the last 29 years! They responded in kind immediately with a $2,000 gift toward the Western Horizons Care Center. We plan to utilize these funds to start refurbishing the resident rooms at the Care Center. In addition, they had someone leave an aged quilt with them, which they cleaned up and donated to the Foundation. We’ve had the quilt researched at the local quilt shop and found out that this “Around the World” quilt was handstitched by quite a talented person. If anyone knows whose quilt this was, we’d sure appreciate a phone call to learn the history of it. We look forward to possibly using this quilt as the cornerstone of how we need to “take care of our treasured aged possessions”; similar to our Care Center residents and

facility.

The Foundation will be at the KNDC Farm & Home Show this Friday, October 16th, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm at the Hettinger Armory. Once again, Delbert Woodley has generously donated 50 or so pumpkins, which we will give away for a $10 or more investment in Western Horizons Care Center, the new MRI Scanner, or the WRHS Scholarship Program. Investing in a pumpkin also enters you into a drawing every hour for 7 HUGE pumpkins!

We hope to see you there.

LODGEPOLE REMEMBERED

Upper Left: Lodgepole rancher Terry Henderson and retired Lodgepole farmer/rancher Bob Lewis performed the unveiling ceremonies at the Lodgepole Remembered event at the Dakota Buttes Museum in southeast Hettinger on Sunday, October 4. The 4’ x 6’ photo enlargement chosen by the committee depicts the Lodgepole Community Store in the late 1930s. St. Mary’s Catholic Church is visible to the far left. The mural was made possible through the support of the Hettinger Clothes Closet. Upper Right: Serving as MC for the Lodgepole Remembered event, program chair Mary LeFebre with the help of several presenters, led the crowd of about 150 through highlights of the life and times of the wider Lodgepole community in presentations and readings on family life, businesses, schools, churches, hardships & disasters, and entertainment for which the area is known. Musical interludes were performed by Lodgepole area residents or former residents. Audience members wearing flowers are community elders honored at the event. (Photos by Melissa Lewis).
