MILITARY BRINGS OUT ESSENCE OF PRIESTHOOD

Former Hettinger priest Chad Gion prepares for deployment to Kosovo By Patti Armstrong Special To The Record

Military chaplains have served the spiritual needs of soldiers in the U.S. Army

since the Continental Congress in 1775. Monsignor Chad Gion, pastor of Spirit of Life Church in Mandan, joined these ranks in 2013. Soon, he will be among his fellow soldiers in active duty on Dec. 1 when

he is deployed to Kosovo for four and a half months. The U.S. is 1 of 31 countries under NATO with a peace-support operation there since June 1999. “I volunteered to go to Kosovo to get experience in a circumstance where there are no bullets in the air,” Gion said. The goal, according to him, is to be prepared in the event he ever gets deployed with

New Quilt and Stitchery Guild Started

On Nov. 7 a new quilt and stitchery guild formed at the Buffalo Creek Quilt Shop in Hettinger, N.D. A group of interested individuals gathered to initiate the organization. Its purpose is to encourage and sponsor events and educational opportunities in the area of quilting and stitchery. It hopes to sponsor some of the following: educational workshops, a

quilt and stitchery trunk show, quilt and stitchery show, outreach projects, quilt and stitchery retreat, and special presenters in these areas. There will be some fun things too, like quilter buddies, door prices, questions of the day, and maybe some parties with a quilt/ stitchery theme. They think it would be interesting to do an event

with a thirties theme or way back in the pioneer days theme. The meetings consist of a business meeting with coffee, project show and tell, and an educational event in the afternoon. It was decided to meet every other month on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with educational events in the afternoon. The next meeting is Jan. 9, 2016 at

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Man restores church, says Lemmon couple given Ag award God restored his health

Greg Thomas sits with his dog Maggie near his RV. Thomas came to North Dakota to reflect on a medical diagnosis. (Photo by Cole Benz/The Record)

By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net What would you do if you were told you had two weeks to live? For one Minnesota resident, this became his reality. “They told my family to plan my funeral,” Greg Thomas said. Thomas, of Montgomery, Minn., was diagnosed with Stage 4 head and neck cancer in May of 2009. The doctors deemed the disease inoperable and told his family that he might have as little as two weeks left to live. Thomas frequently took walks with his dogs down the gravel road near his home, and after his diagnosis he meandered down his usual path to gather his thoughts and process the news. He made a stop, as he usually did, at the broken steps of an old Czech Catholic church that dates back to the mid 1800s. Though he had been stopping at this church for many years, this time was different. He sat on the steps and prayed. “When I found out I had cancer, those steps took on a whole new meaning to me,” Thomas said. He turned and just stared at the old building. The paint was chipping, it needed a new roof and the foundation was crumbling, among other things; it was in dire need of some tender loving care. It was at this moment that he prayed “Lord, before I leave this world I want to do something for you.” Thomas found out that God will take you at your word. He walked to the nearest house and knocked on

the door to find out who he would need to contact for more information on the church; he wanted to restore it. He told the church association that he would do the restoration, free of charge, as long as he was given a key to worship inside as he pleased. They agreed to the terms. He told The Herald that when he first embarked on this task it was “purely for a selfish reason,” and that he just “wanted a quiet place to pray” because he believed that he was entering the final days of his life on earth. But when he stuck the key in the lock and opened up the doors he quickly realized that God was opening up something much more special in his life. So as his treatment was finishing up, he began to restore the church. His treatment was extensive and involved three rounds of chemotherapy and 40 sessions of radiation, but he still found the strength deep down to finish a job he had set out to do. A job he promised God he would finish. For Thomas, the work was therapeutic. And he said every hour he put in at the church he became stronger. “While I was working and restoring the church, God was restoring me,” Thomas said. “Everyday that I worked on it the better I felt.” Throughout his journey Thomas began defying odds. Thomas had his teeth removed and epiglottis destroyed by the radiation. He was forced to feed himself through a feeding tube and doctors said he would never eat solid

foods again. Beating their prognosis, Thomas had the tube removed a few years later and can now eat normally. What was more stunning, though, was that his aggressive cancer had shrunk. It shrank to the point that doctors couldn’t find a trace of the disease. He had been working on the church for about a year and a half when the doctors gave him a good bill of health, though he wouldn’t be declared cancer free until after five years of remission (which he has since surpassed). Thomas said that in the years before his diagnosis and his work at the church, he could sit on the steps for hours and not see a single car drive by. But he noticed his work was garnering attention, and people didn’t just drive by slowly, they stopped. The attention grew. “The more I worked on it the more people showed up,” Thomas said. Word of Thomas’ story spread like the gospel on a Sunday morning. It went viral. Thomas’ story ended up on the national news scene, appearing in publications like Guide Posts and Reader’s Digest. His story even won a television reporter an Emmy. That’s when the help started to come. With so many people reading about the church and Thomas’ miraculous healing, anybody who could, would stop and help. Whether it was a phone call, a little note, or a donation towards the church renovation, people wanted to be a part of the story. And for Thomas it seemed liked any time

billion tons. Well that’s about $373 million.” That expense for the power companies would mean a big hike in costs for North Dakotans once it gets passed onto consumers, not just directly but also by companies raising prices to meet a higher cost of doing business. By Christmann’s calculations, the impact would be nearly $50 per citizen per month. To provide some context, Christmann said he heard plenty of comments from the public over an increase of just a couple of dollars per month for a gas utility. “We just finished a rate case for [Montana-Dakota Utilities] for gas,” he said. “I realize that’s gas and this is electricity but it’s still a utility bill. That rate case worked out to about $2.03 per month for the average rate payer.”

“If they think that’s a big increase, I felt we would be misleading them if I didn’t come out with a dollar figure for the Clean Power Plan’s impact,” he added. If the Clean Power Plan isn’t defeated in the court system, an outcome Christmann says he’s hoping for, it could necessitate an expansion of subsidies for low-income citizens. “It is going to hit the low income people the hardest,” Christmann said. “The upper income folks will find a way to pay more for electrical bills and other costs. “The other group that’s going to get impacted disproportionately are rural people,” he added. “You go out into the rural areas where we don’t have natural gas, they heat with electricity. My electric bills in Hazen are several hundred dollars per month some

Say Anything By Rob Port

The Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan is expected to have a dramatic impact on how Americans get their power across the United States. Or, perhaps it’s better to describe the impact as extreme, given that dozens of states including North Dakota filed suit to block those regulations the moment they hit the federal register. But the North Dakota may be where the hammer blow falls the hardest. When the plan was put

out for public comment it called for an 11 percent reduction in emissions from power plants in the state. The final rule, however, nearly quadrupled that number to more than 40 percent. The change was so large that Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, a Republican, chose to file an independent lawsuit against the federal government challenging the plan as opposed to joining a suit filed by other states. When I spoke with Stenehjem about that decision he told me he still isn’t certain why there was such a large discrepancy between the plan made available for public comment and the final plan. Which is why these sort

of sweeping policy changes ought to take place by way of the legislative process where such amendments to proposed laws are tracked and debated, but that’s a whole different column. Back to the Clean Power Plan, it could put a serious crimp in North Dakota’s economy, and one every citizen in the state would feel. “In the Clean Power Plan they throw out the figure of approximately $30 per ton [of emissions] to comply with the provision given the various types of compliance,” Public Service Commissioner Randy Christmann, a Republican, told me. “Also in the working papers North Dakota is required to lesson our CO2 emissions by about 12.5

times. You get this increase on there, this is going to be devastating.” Currently the North Dakota Department of Health is holding public hearings to get input on developing a state plan to comply with the Clean Power Plan. Christmann, who has been attending the meetings, says he doesn’t see a lot of hope. Unlike previous federal regulations, the state doesn’t have a lot of flexibility to make this one work. “My experience with it is, when we came up with implementation plans for the mercury and air toxins rule or sulphur dioxide at the power plants, some of the timing and the methods we were going to use, the state had some flexibility but we had to meet their ultimate goals,” Christmann said. “Because there’s not technology commercially available to capture CO2, and because North Dakota’s base load of power generation is coal, there just aren’t a lot of opportunities.”

I can follow the Tooke bucking horses and I can read rodeo stories posted by former champion (And still a champion to me) Larry Mahan. I can see who is celebrating a birthday and who is sitting on a beach in Mexico while I am getting ready to feed cattle when it is twenty-five below with a brisk wind. Oh, there are some people that upset me, but unlike real life, you just unfriend them so you don’t have to start your day with a bad taste in your mouth. The news is usually enough to

Letters to the Editor give me that. But this morning a friend posted a video of Ken Curtis singing “Tumbling Tumbleweed”. It brought a smile to my face and I just had to share it. I’d forgotten how talented that man was. Now, I suppose a vast majority of the people don’t know who Ken Curtis was. Because they just don’t make good TV shows anymore. But he was Festus on “Gunsmoke”. He was an old broke down cowboy with a hitch in his git-along. He rode a mule and drank beer. And he always was arguing with “Doc”. In one of my favorite scenes, Festus is going to buy a beer. And Doc is explaining to him that he should save some money and buy a lot. Festus asks, “A lot of what?” And Doc explains a “lot of land”. Well Festus doesn’t have enough money to buy a lot of land, so Doc says, “Just buy a little lot.” I won’t go into detail,

but he ends up just buying a beer. Which reminds me of how sometimes what you say and what you mean are entirely two different things. Like sorting cows down an alley. Sometimes it is simple. In or by. In or out. Keep or sell. Steer or heifer. Open or bred. It’s kind of like plans drawn on a bar napkin. It looks good on paper but in reality it’s not that good. Because often more than one will get by you. And it’s “In with the brockle and by with the short tailed cow.” Or, “Catch the middle cow and let the others by!” Shirley loves that one. And as I was listening to Festus sing, I thought of one time many years ago. The semi was backed up against the loading chute and had kind of froze down. The brakes on the trailer wouldn’t release and being a genius, I figured I would just have Shirley hook onto it with the pickup and give it a

swift jerk to free things up. I know, I know, it wasn’t a good idea. I backed that pickup, loaded with a couple ton of cow cake, up against that truck and hooked a towrope on. I advised my able assistant that when I gave her the signal, she was going to have to hit it “pretty hard”. Now “pretty hard” and “signal” are the key words here. I had just stepped up on the side of the truck and was opening the door and I hollered at the dog to get back. Shirley thought that was the signal and she popped the clutch and “hit it hard”! And I mean hard. Really hard. That big old towrope stretched until it was the size of a rubber band. I was, like in grade school, “ducking and covering”. But thank God the rope held, the truck held, and everyone ended up safe and sound. And to tell the truth, I have no idea what this has to do with Festus. Later, Dean

That’s Life By Tony Bender

Crisis averted. The State of North Dakota will continue to function, thanks to quick thinking by Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who paid $100,000 in retention bonuses to loyal staffers to be more loyal. Dalrymple himself no doubt would have been retained by voters, who remain grateful for all the oil the Republican Party thoughtfully put in the Bakken. But he’s packing his bags faster than oil prices are dropping. By the time the next Republican is sworn in, Dalrymple will be sitting in a La-Z-Boy by the tracks in Casselton, taking odds on which oil train will blow up next. How can I be certain the next governor will be a Republican? Easy. The criteria for leadership has been raised by GOP presidential front-runner Ben Carson, who insists the media give him credit for an attempted stabbing when he was a young hood. The idea is to build street cred, so when Carson looks Vladimir Putin in the eye and sees his soul, he will have some standing. Putin is so tough, he stabs someone before breakfast each day—two on ‘Two For Tuesdays’ and more

Hunting Season

The weather has been gorgeous and very cooperative for this year’s hunting season. And the city of Hettinger has benefitted from this in many ways. I live in the midst of the one of the most prolific pheasant hunting areas in the country just seven miles north of Hettinger. I have only 10 acres so the land on all four sides of my residence is used for hunting. I have had hunters come to my house and ask if I minded if they hunted the area which is very close to my house and out buildings. This I appreciate very much and I would never say no but add “don’t point your guns in my direction” which probably doesn’t need to be said. Recently my close neighbor reminded me of the law that says there will be no hunting close to a residence unless they have the owners permission. It states that if the hunting takes place 440 yards from the residence no permission is needed. This year a multitude of hunters have surrounded my land. Sometimes I only know they are there when I hear the booming of their shotguns. This is disconcerting to say the least and it also says they have no respect for me and where I live. No one has stopped to tell me they are in the area and if I minded that they hunt so close to my property. The N.D. Century Code 20.1-01-21: (states) Hunting near occupied building without permission unlawful. No person may hunt or pursue game upon the premises of another, within 440 yards (402.34 meters) of any occupied building without consent of the person occupying such building. It is also disrespectful and unlawful of the owner of the land next to mine who gave permission to these hunters and didn’t remind them of the law! Carole Rosencrans Hettinger, ND

Annual WRHS Auxiliary Turkey Luncheon Hugely Succcessful WRHS Fund Dev. Officer The West River Health Services Auxiliary’s Annual Turkey Luncheon was held on Thursday, November 5th, at the Hettinger Lutheran Church. It was a smashing success, with a huge and steady crowd of hungry supporters! So hungry in fact, that people were eagerly awaiting the hot turkey lunches a half hour prior to the 11:00 am starting time. Not only were hundreds of people served the awesome turkey lunch, but all-time records were set for turkey lunches delivered! That’s right, hundreds of hot turkey meals were put together in togo containers and hand delivered to area folk’s homes/businesses. A grand total of $5,169 was brought in for the turkey luncheon itself, far outdistancing last year’s $3,889 total. With 20 tasty turkeys cooked perfectly by the gang at Kennedy’s, plus another amazing outpouring of volunteers to pre-

The dinner included your choice of white or wheat bread, light or dark turkey, dressing, gravy and cranberries. And don’t

forget the pies! Oh my, it was a sensational day! In addition to the awesome turkey luncheon, the WRHS Auxiliary and

Foundation teamed up to create and sell 1700 raffle tickets, which helped raise another $3,400! At the end of the turkey

luncheon, the lucky raffle ticket winners were drawn for the listed prizes, from our amazing and supportive donors. Thank you donors for supplying us with awesome gifts for our successful raffle ticket fundraiser. And thank you raffle ticket buyers, as your funds will help us keep our equipment and scholarships at WRHS top-notch. Since we have easily surpassed a net overall total of $2,500, the Modern Woodmen group from Lemmon, SD will be matching us with $2,500 for the MRI Campaign. We even had Al and Delores Colgrove, members of Modern Woodmen, on hand with us at the Annual Turkey Luncheon. Thank you so much for attending and supporting us. In addition to the success of the raffle tickets and turkey luncheon, the Auxiliary also sold 33 memberships. This was definitely a record day in all areas. Thank you Hettinger and surrounding areas for your continued support.

National Guard. “I always looked up to him,” Gion said. Donohue had been deployed overseas many times, but in 2007, he accepted an appointment at West Point Military Academy. “He was the only Catholic priest from North Dakota [serving as a chaplain],” Gion said. “There would be no priests to serve our soldiers.” Gion’s own call to service began with his thinking that someone needs to do this; a priest needs to step up to fill a great need. His thoughts shifted inward. “It was about serving North Dakota,” he said. “That is the reason I went. And now that I’m doing it, I’m grateful that I am.” •Always a congregation In 2007, Gion’s request to volunteer was turned down by Bishop Paul Zipfel due to a shortage of priests in the diocese. But five years later, the situation had improved and Bishop David Kagan gave his approval. In April of 2013, Gion attended a 12week Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course (CBOLC) in Fort Jackson, S.C. Basic training had distilled his priesthood to

its very essence, Gion explained. “The administrative duties were taken away, even my congregation was taken away,” he said. “The only thing that distinguished me was that I said Mass and prayed the Liturgy of the Hours every day.” As a congregation unto himself during daily Mass, Gion explained he became more in tune with the spiritual reality of the mystical body of Christ. “The experience emphasized to me that there is always a congregation. It was me, and the angels, and saints.” •Modern day concerns As a chaplain in modern times, concerns about separation of church and state demand a delicate balance. The military chaplain is answerable to his commander in war and peace, while at the same time, he answers to God. “It’s still about ministry and performing religious services, but has come to mean providing religious services for soldiers even if I am not able to perform them,” Gion said. “For instance, for a Jewish soldier, I cannot perform a ceremony, but I have the responsibility to try to provide for that soldier’s spiri-

tual needs.” He explained that the Army informally calls chaplains “Officers of the First Amendment” since their responsibility includes protecting the free exercise of religion regardless of denomination. •Ultimate purpose At no point, does Gion expect to go into battle. “A chaplain’s place is not on the front lines,” he said. “I won’t carry a weapon, so I’m not in a position to defend myself. If I get hit, soldiers are going to go way out of their way to recover me, so I have to be careful that I’m not putting others at risk by taking unnecessary risks.” Spiritual matters become prominent in a soldier’s mind when the likelihood for death increases during battle, and that, according to Gion, is his ultimate purpose. “As a Catholic priest,” he said, “my job is to bring the sacraments and to give encouragement, counsel, and support.” •Looking ahead In Kosovo, the U.S. Army actually wants Catholic priests on the ground. “There’s a kind of cultural cache to have a Catholic priest there,” Gion said. “In some places, being a priest

can work against you, but in Kosovo, their culture recognizes the three major religions.” Since there are so many Catholics and so few priests there, Gion will be saying Mass in three different locations. “It will be like having three missions,” he said. After Kosovo, Gion will return to Bismarck and continue his priestly duties in the diocese. “In the future, if my unit, the 112th Aviation Battalion, is called up, I’ll go wherever they go,” he said. His commitment is for eight years and he will reassess that when the time is up. Gion said he does not really know what to expect, but one thing that he already appreciates is that the military facilitates the “death to self” to a greater degree. “I’m under obedience to the bishop and I have to go where he tells me to go,” he said. “As a priest of the diocese, there are limits to what he’s going to ask. But the military could ask me to go to Afghanistan so I have to die to self and say ‘wherever I am, God is there.’ ” He said it ultimately cultivates a real sense of freedom for what it means to serve as a priest.

it by removing his voice box and taking a muscle from his chest and put it in his neck where they will cut out the tumor. The treatment will rob him of his two passions, hunting and preaching. With an inability to speak or hold a rifle, it would be a difficult task to do either of those, but he has beaten the odds before. Now he must decide what the next course of medical treatment to follow, and he wanted a quiet place to think. So he traveled to southwest North Dakota to hunt, and to pray. On Thomas’ birthday 15 years ago he buried his long time hunting buddy, his father. So when he needed a quiet place for reflection and prayer, he traveled to Mott. And he hasn’t been back since, until now. Whichever path he chooses, he knows that he’ll be saved one way or another. Thomas carries a positive attitude with every step of his life, and even after the latest, heartbreaking diagnosis, he still was as exuberant as ever. “This is just another opportunity for God to show his glory,” Thomas said. “So that is how I look at it.”

the church project needed assistance, the help was there. ‘Divine intervention,’ Thomas said. Thomas’ work even landed him a shot at Hollywood stardom. A movie crew searching for a church and cemetery for a scene stumbled upon the church in Montgomery, and they liked the look so much that they used it as one of their locations. The director got Thomas in as an extra, and the scene made the final cut. The film is “Memorial Day” and stars Academy Award nominee James Cromwell. The general consensus was that the church would have just rotted away had Thomas not stepped in and restored it. “I found out that what God wants out of any of us in our lives…He’s looking for those who are willing to step up to the plate, and He honors that big time.” A few weeks ago, though, Thomas went to the doctor because he felt a tender lump on the side of his neck. His cancer had returned. The disease has invaded his voice box and metastasized to a lymph node in his neck. Doctors want to aggressively treat

Night Hawk athletes recognized with postseason honors By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net The fall sports season has finished and many athletes of Hettinger/ Scranton were recognized for their performances throughout past four months. Carlos Martinez placed 20th in varsity during the West Region cross country meet. Sierra Sadowsky placed second and Katrina placed ninth for the junior varsity team. The team did not have any top 20 placers for the state meet, however Head Coach

Stephanie Howe said that many set personal bests, which is a sign that her runners are improving every week. “I’m very proud of each and every one of them and I can’t wait to see what next season bring,” Howe said. Senior libero Kayla Chadwick and senior outside hitter Lizzy Thompson were both named to the All-Region volleyball team. Head Coach Jon Kohler said that having two players from one team named to the AllRegion squad is quite an accomplishment, considering the roster has only

15 spots. Thompson had a dominating season. After setting the Night Hawk single-season kill record last year, she broke her own mark this year and ended with over 320 kills. With the season stats accounted for, Thompson now holds the Night Hawk career kill record. Chadwick is a record setter herself, setting the mark for digs in a singleseason. Both players were region leaders in both kills and digs. Kohler said that the two exuded top leadership qualities; both were team

captains. Head Football Coach Randy Burwick said “you don’t win a region championship without having quality players, and we had quality players throughout the whole program.” Burwick’s team featured players on the AllAcademic team, first AllConference team, first and second All-Region teams, first and second All-State teams and the Region 5 Lineman of The Year. To qualify for the The All-Academic first team a player must have a 3.7 grade point average or higher and included:

Kyle Burwick, Brandon Pierce, Tanner Sanford, Alec Andress, Mack Buckmier, Isaiah Kludt, Zack Rickertsen, Jordan Dilse, Jaxon Melmer, Hudson Pierce and Sam Kludt. The All-Academic second team (3.25-3.69 GPA) included: Reece Williams, Bo Williams, Braxon Yates, Colbey Steeke, Brett Christopherson and Seth Olson. Night Hawks named to the All-Conference first team included: Devin Faller, Jordan Dilse, Alec Andress, Sam Kludt, Hudson Pierce, Damon Cornelius and Logan Lachowitzer. All-Region Second team included: Andrew Salz-

man and Ethan Duper. All-Region first team included: Colbey Steeke, Brandon Pierce, Tanner Sanford, Isaiah Kludt and Seth Olson. Colbey Steeke was named to the All-State second team with Brandon Pierce and Tanner Sanford being named to the All-State first team. Steeke was recognized for work on the frontline, and given one of the top awards for Region V, Lineman of The Year. “That’s a good list,” Burwick said. “I’m just extremely proud of them, our team did very well, and rightfully so.”

Three champions crowned in junior high wrestling in Mandan By Nolan Dix For The Record

All three wrestlers that competed at the Mandan Junior Hight Tournament took home first place. Josh

Dix had three pins as he finished first in the seventh and eighth grade division. Dix had wins over Jayden Selzler of New Salem(:43), Isaac Aman of Mobridge(1:32) and Logan Heen of St. Marys(:45).

Jayden Selzler of New Salem took home second place. Conner Andress finished 2-1 on the day, but in a three way tie, won the championship. Andrew lost in sudden victory to

Dexter Carpenter of Hagen. Conner then won a 3-1 decision over Tanner Nein of Simle and then finished the day off with a :47 pin over Wyatt Baumgartner of Wachter. Cade Warbis wound up

3-0 on the day with 2 pins and a major decision. Cade won his first match with a :25 pin over Aden Stauty of Hagen, a 14-2 major decision over Bridger Vetter of Horizon and a :54 pin over Zach Booth of Hagen.

Congratulations to theses 3 JH wrestlers as they started the season off with 3 Chsmpionships. Next up for Jr High wrestling: Dickinson JH this Saturday or Minot JH also this Saturday.

Local students attend Future Business Leaders of America National Fall Leadership Conference in Omaha Members of the Hettinger Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter attended the FBLA National Fall Leadership Conference in Omaha, NE on November 6-7.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on Southwest N.D. Sports By Sheldon Christenson For The Record The 9-Man championship game between Richland and North Prairie turned out to be a good game. When Richland jumped to a quick 16-0 lead I thought it was over, but North Prairie fought back to make it a game. A last minute touchdown by Richland gave them the 44-38 win. Richland defeated four rank teams during the playoffs to earn the championship trophy. Congratulations to the Hettinger-Scranton players who made the Region 5 Football All-Academic Region Team. 1st Team – Kyle Burwick 1st Team – Brandon Pierce 1st Team – Tanner Sanford

1st Team – Alec Andress 1st Team – Mack Buckmier 1st Team – Isaiah Kludt 1st Team – Zack Rickertsen 1st Team – Jordan Dilse 1st Team – Jaxon Mellmer 1st Team – Hudson Pierce 1st Team – Sam Kludt 2nd Team – Reece Williams 2nd Team – Bo Wilson 2nd Team – Braxon Yates 2nd Team – Colby Steeke 2nd Team – Brett Christopherson 2nd Team – Seth Olson Three young Night Hawks competed in the Dave Mellen Memorial Middle School Tournament at Mandan this past weekend. All three did well as they all finished in first place. In the 7thgrade and 8th-grade B division Josh Dix went 3-0 with all wins via the pin. In the 6th-grade grade di-

vision Cade Warbis had a 3-0 record, two by fall and the other a 14-2 decision and Connor Andress finished with a 2-1 record. I was a little surprised to find out Hazen defeated Trinity in the Region 7 championship match and thus advanced to the state tourney. I never saw the Hazen team but did see Trinity against the Nighthawks. Hazen lost to Trinity during season play, 3-1. After Trinity went undefeated in region play I had no doubt that they would be the team from Region 7 to make it to state. Hazen will face Langdon in the first match on 19 November. Langdon comes in with a 40-2 record and are seeded No. 2. Congratulations to Hettinger thespians who took third at the Region 10 One-Acts. Jordan Hill won a superior acting award and Lizzy Thompson & Michael Shirek received honorable mention for their acting talents.

Harding County did well in football going 10-2 for the season and reaching the Class 9b championship football game. They had a tough opponent in Langford Area and were defeated 56-28. Harding County’s volleyball team also did well. They downed Lemmon in their Region tournament finals to advance to the state tourney in Sioux Falls, November 19-21. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - Nov. 20, JH Girls & Boys Basketball vs New England at Reeder - Nov. 21, JH Girls & Boys Basketball vs Ht. River-So. Heart at Reeder - Nov. 23, Boys Elementary Basketball vs Lemmon at Hettinger - Nov. 23, JH Girls Basketball at Lemmon - Nov. 24, JH Boys Basketball vs Mott-Regent at Reeder - Nov. 24, JH Girls Basketball at Mott See you at the games.

Weekly Vikings Roundup By Jordan Wright For The Record

The Vikings (7-2) traveled out west and defeated the Oakland Raiders (4-5) 30-14 on Sunday. With wind gusts between 25 and 35 miles per hour, this came down to the running game, defense and field position. First the good news. Adrian Peterson entered the week as the NFL’s leading rusher, and all he did against Oakland (who is seventh in the league in rush defense, allowing under 100 yards on the ground per game) was run for 203 yards and a touchdown, including a back breaking 80-yard scamper with under two minutes left to seal the game. This was Peterson’s sixth 200-yard game, tying him with O.J. Simpson for the most in NFL history. As a team, the Vikings ran the ball 33 times for 263 yards (8.0 yards per carry). On the defensive side of the ball, it was an up and down day. Derek Carr dropped back to pass 45 times, yet the

Vikings were only able to sack him twice. Oakland’s interior offensive lineman, Rodney Hudson (Pro Football Focus’ fifth-rated center), sat out this game with an injury, which should’ve led to the Vikings getting pressure at will. Instead, Carr was able to throw for over 300 yards, the most yards given up by the Vikings’ pass defense. Up front, the Vikings were able to shut down Oakland’s running game, allowing only 84 yards on the ground. The Vikings also snagged two interceptions, the second of which occurred with a little over two minutes left in the game, with Oakland in the red zone and looking to score and make it a one-possession game. Now for the bad news: Minnesota has really been struggling lately in the passing game. Coming into this game, Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings are 28th in the league with only 209 yards through the air per game, and he is also tied with Colin Kaepernick for 30th in the league with only six touchdown passes. On Sunday in Oakland, against a team who is last in the league in pass defense and allowing 315 yards per game, one would’ve thought this would be an

opportunity for Bridgewater to improve upon his stats. However, he only completed 14 of 22 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown, figures that have to be labeled as disappointing. It should be noted that the Viking’s game plan is not to have Teddy throw the ball a lot (there are 25 quarterbacks in the NFL who have thrown more passes). The player of the game has to be 37 year old Terence Newman. Against Oakland, Newman had four tackles, five passes broken up, and two interceptions, becoming the first Viking to record multiple interceptions in a game since Jamarca Sanford in 2011. Looking back at the stats from 2011 through the 2014 NFL season, the Vikings are second to last in the league, averaging only 10.75 interceptions per season. There have been many recent investments in the secondary, so it’s only a matter of time before the Vikings improve upon that low figure. The player who needs the most improvement this week is Kyle Rudolph. I was thinking about putting Blair Walsh here, but he had made 17 straight field goals before missing the two on Sunday that looked like they

might’ve been partially blocked. Rudolph gets the nod here because he missed a WIDE OPEN touchdown catch that hit him between the numbers. Going into the game against Oakland, Rudolph was PFF’s 47th ranked tight end, which doesn’t justify the five year, $36.5 million contract he signed last year. Looking ahead, the Vikings play the Green Bay Packers in Minnesota, which will decide the pecking order in the NFC North. The Packers are coming off a lastsecond, missed field goal loss to the Detroit Lions (yes, you read that correctly, the Packers lost to the hapless Lions). The Packers started the season 6-0, but have lost their last three games in a row. This week, everyone will be talking about how the Packers have fallen and how they will have problems against the Vikings. What I see is a team that will be coming into the game upset, and looking to demolish anything in their path, which just so happens to be the Vikings. The silver lining here is that the Packers are not invincible, and this game could truly go either way. Not wanting to miss out on the action, I will be at the game, hopefully cheering the Vikings on to victory. Skol!

Game & Fish News

■■ Sandhill Crane Season Closes North Dakota crane hunters are reminded the season closed statewide Sunday, Nov. 15. However, the statewide duck and white-fronted goose seasons remain open through Dec. 6, and then duck hunting in the high plains unit reopens Dec. 12 and continues through Jan. 3, 2016. In addition, the season for Canada geese closes Dec. 24, except for the Missouri River Zone, which closes Jan. 1, 2016. Light goose hunting closes statewide Jan. 3, 2016.

■■ Salmon Spawn Completed

Fisheries crews have completed their annual salmon spawning operation on the Missouri River System after collecting roughly 500,000 eggs. Dave Fryda, North Dakota Game and Fish Department Missouri River System supervisor, said the salmon spawning season was a challenge, with almost all of the eggs taken from Lake Sakakawea. Only a few were collected from the Missouri River below Garrison Dam. “Dropping water temperature combined with declining daylight are major cues for salmon to spawn, but water temperatures this year were slow to cool and remained among the warmest we have seen through the entire spawn,” Fryda said. “In addition, unlike past years, our staff was unable to access the emergency flood tunnels of Garrison Dam to collect salmon, which annually has been a significant source of eggs.” Fryda said the average size of Lake Sakakawea females was 11 pounds, the largest documented since the inception of the salmon program. “The average size and condition of females was exceptional, but overall numbers were not what we expected,” he added. “South Dakota and Montana had the same challenges collecting eggs this year.” However, Fryda said the abundance of young male salmon, also called jacks, was a bright spot. “Jacks are 1-year-old male salmon that become sexually mature, and typically a high abundance of these young males will forecast a good run over the next couple years.” Fryda said these yearling males are from the stocking of 208,000 salmon in Lake Sakakawea in 2014. The eggs collected this fall should produce 150,000 to 200,000 salmon, and plans are to stock all of those fish in Lake Sakakawea in 2016. None are scheduled for the river below Garrison Dam, Fryda said. Chinook salmon begin their spawning run in October. Since salmon cannot naturally reproduce in North Dakota, Game and Fish Department and Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery personnel collect eggs and transport them to the hatchery. Once the eggs hatch, young salmon spend several months in the hatchery before being stocked in Lake Sakakawea.

■■ Fishing Tournaments Require 30-Day Notice Organizers planning fishing tournaments, including ice fishing contests this winter, are reminded to submit an application along with fishing tournament regulations to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at least 30 days prior to the start of the event. The 30-day advance notice allows for review by agency staff to ensure the proposed tournament will not have negative consequences or conflicts with other proposed tournaments for the same location and/or time. Tournaments may not occur without first obtaining a valid permit from the department. In addition, the number of open-water tournaments on lakes Sakakawea and Oahe, the Missouri River and Devils Lake are capped each year, depending on the time of the year and location. Sponsors for tournaments on these water bodies must submit their application to the department prior to Jan. 1 to ensure full consideration.
