Remembering a Friend Friends and family gather to remember longtime social worker

By GENE ANNE KULSETH For The Record

It was a beautiful fall day on Thursday, Oct. 13, the kind we all wish there was more of here in North Dakota, a father and son,

friends, and co workers gathered at the corner of the Adams County Social services building. What was once a bare spot, is now filled with flowers, a bench to sit and a memorial stone. They gathered

for a reason, and that reason was Connie Enerson.

Oct. 13 was the one year anniversary of the passing of Connie Marie Enerson from ovarian cancer. She was the reason that the memorial was created.

Gathered in that place, one thing was clear; Connie Enerson will be remembered.

Connie Enerson was

born Connie Slater in Hettinger, on Sept. 10, 1954 on another beautiful fall day. She grew up on the family farm with her five siblings. She loved rural North Dakota and would never leave the Hettinger area. She loved the outdoors, horses, fishing, and baking.

School improvement project wrapping up, aiming for increased energy efficiency

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Construction is currently wrapping up on a $4 million project to improve the environment of the Hettinger Public School building.

Opened classroom windows during subzero temperatures used to be a common sight at the school. But now, with updated equipment, and smart switches, students and teachers should be more comfortable, and focus can stay on education.

The project started in March of 2015 and was initially going to start with the poor lighting throughout the building. But after an assessment by engineers, they realized more of the behind-the-walls infrastructure was going to require attention.

Some of the more dire problems began to

arise during Superintendent Larry Sebastian’s second year with the school district, and the deferred repairs with the system began to add up.

“They were in dire need of repair,” Sebastian said. “It was something that needed to be addressed and get done.”

The heating and cooling system was mostly intact from the original construction, the latest addition of the school dates back to 1966.

“Most of the stuff in the building was the original equipment,” Sebastian said.

Repairs were becoming increasingly difficult, given the age of the system. Parts were getting harder and harder to come by, and costs started to add up.

So the school hired CTS Group out of Bismarck, and they guided the district through the process of bidding, hiring con-

tractors, and organizing the project.

Sebastian said that engineers went from room to room at the school and analyzed what needed to be addressed.

Nothing that was fixed was cosmetic, everything was internal and behind the walls, according to Sebastian. But everything that was addressed, needed the attention.

“There’s nothing we did, that didn’t need to be done,” he said.

Improvements included new piping, ventilation systems, and duct work. The building’s lighting systems have also been converted to new, energy efficient LED bulbs.

“We are able to accomplish a lot of different things for the school,” Kristopher Schwab said.

Hettinger School’s FACS I and FACS II classes, led by Mrs. Schauer has been making lots of baked goodies for the Schneider Benefit. They have been working diligently to bake cupcakes, breads, bars and cookies. The cupcakes are with pink and yellow batter, with pink and yellow frosting to represent both breast cancer and Wegener’s Disease. They would like to send their love and support for both Tammy and Kevin by baking love in each tasty morsel. Please join together at the Armory and support Kevin and Tammy Schneider on Oct. 21.

In previous weeks the FACS II class has made posters about nutritional vitamins and minerals. They made posters which have the name of a vitamin or mineral and foods that contain each along with the use and benefits. Students presented the posters to both of Mrs. Arndorfer’s Kindergarten classes. The posters were then

IN BRIEF

Department of Health urges everyone to get vaccinated this flu season The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) highlighted the need for influenza vaccination for everyone at North Dakota State University’s (NDSU) annual flu vaccination event, held Monday, Oct. 17. Each year NDSU student athletes file into the Fargodome to receive their annual flu shots.

During yesterday’s news conference, NDSU studentathlete, Easton Stick was vaccinated by John Curley, a 4th-year student at the NDSU School of Pharmacy. NDSU Associate Director of Athletics Scott Woken said, “Our student-athletes have many physical and time demands placed upon them during the academic year. Getting a flu shot is an easy way to potentially prevent them from contracting influenza and keeping them from missing any of their academic requirements. In addition, we want to keep them healthy to minimize the amount of time they may miss for practice and/or competitions.”

“It is anticipated that there will be an adequate supply of flu vaccine this year. We are urging everyone to get vaccinated to avoid influenza, regardless of age or health status,” said Lexie Barber, immunization surveillance coordinator for the NDDoH. “Getting vaccinated is the easiest and most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu. Vaccination is important, even for healthy people. Everyone is close to someone who is at high risk for complications due to influenza, so it is important to get vaccinated to protect ourselves and those around you.”

In North Dakota, influenza activity begins in the fall and typically peaks between January and March. Health officials say people can get vaccinated any time during the influenza season, but the best time to get vaccinated is now when flu activity is low.

gineer with CTS Group.

Perhaps the most visible change is to the large gymnasium, where a new type of material was used for duct work.

Replacing the hanging unit heaters, new outfits have been set up behind the stage and they pump air through duct socks. The duct socks are made out of a washable fabric and lines the entire length of the ceiling, with holes punched out for the ventilation to escape.

“The air is actually engineered to come out of the slits,” Schwab said.

The new lighting system is motion activated. When movement is detected, the

lights turn on. After 15 minutes of inactivity, the lights will shut off.

The ventilation system is also a smart system. The levels of Co2 are monitored, and if it detects an increase, the system will pump fresh air into the gym. So basically, it can filter air in and out based on the number of people sitting in the stands and competing on the court or performing on the stage.

The roof over the ’66 addition was also replaced.

When they took core samples, the material was very saturated with moisture, and in fact the roof was actually one roof built over a roof, so there were two levels. They removed both levels and replaced it with new material and increased their R-factor (the ability to hold heat and cold in) from nine to 35.

The improvements should help in lowering the energy cost for the district.

“This whole building is going to be much more energy efficient,” Schwab said.

Schwab also said that they have a guaranteed energy performance contract with the district.

“A lot of the improvements that we were able to make that we attached energy savings to are guaranteed for 15 years,” Schwab said. “If we don’t meet those energy savings, by state mandate we have to cut the district a check for the difference.”

Some improvements did not qualify for the performance contract, but under the agreement the lighting and the ventilation qualify.

The superintendent thinks that investing in these updates should benefit the dis-

trict for many years.

“It should last, in my opinion, as long as our former structure had lasted,” Sebastian said. “Which is quite awhile.”

The project is nearly complete. The final steps will included getting the temperature regulated. Currently the building is being heated, but until they management system is completely calibrated, Schwab will continue to make visits to Hettinger.

They expect to be finished

by December.

Sebastian told the Record that the second floor of the building still has some issues that need to be addressed.

But he said those conversations have not taken place yet, they wanted to wait and get this project wrapped up before moving on to other ventures.

Foundation’s care center campaign surpasses goal Improvements nearly complete

By TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation This past February, the Foundation at West River Health Services began their “One Room At a Time Together” fundraising campaign to raise $145,500 to renovate 42 individual resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger. These resident rooms were very institutional, the flooring was old gray tile, the paint was dull and overall, did not have a very warm, home-like feel at all.

Now, with the terrific community response of over $154,000 raised so far, new and warmer flooring has been installed, over 90 percent of the rooms have received two, new coats of soothing-colored paint. The new lights and new high-rise toilets are being installed as we write. Next come the new sinks, mirrors, shelves, curtains, and bedspreads. And who knows, at the rate we’re going, we might have budget room for bedside tables and maybe more! We are planning to have all of the renova-

tions completed by the end of this year.

The Foundation Board of Directors got the ball rolling by proclaiming a $25,000 gift to jump- start the campaign.

The Living Centers and Hospital Board of Directors were behind the program from the beginning too, as most of their members have joined the campaign. The outdoor and radio advertising campaign was rolled out and hit home with area folk – with “Isn’t Mom Worth It?” leading the way, followed by “5Sar Living, Consider Giving.”

And the area community has given a resounding thumbsup to the project! This is evident in the amazing gifts received from most everywhere – employees, residents, families, businesses and organizations. The Annual “Adult Prom” raised over $38,000 for the campaign; the “Foundation Nation Golf Scramble and Jaycee’s Bingo” raised over $6,000; and the RZ Motors “Ride for the Rooms” brought in $2,500!

This campaign truly has been a community-wide effort, including large gifts from area

businesses and organizations such as Dakota Frontier Cooperative, Kennedy’s, Farmers Union Insurance, Hettinger Jaycee’s, West River Veterinary Clinic, WRHS Auxiliary, and the Community Clothes Closet.

Almost 200 families, businesses and organizations have joined the effort with gifts from $1 to $25,000! Every one of the 109 donors who have given $100 or more so far will be acknowledged via an engraved plate on our “One Room At a Time Together Donor Wall” at the entrance to Western Horizons Care Center. Each of the 23 contributors who have given over $2,500 to the campaign thus far, will be recognized via a larger individual engraved plaque outside each resident room. And the six largest donors (so far Mitch & Lani Schultz, City of Hettinger, Debbie & Randy Nehring, Drs. Josh & Carrie Ranum, Uecker Yards Inc., and Ted & Sheri Uecker) will receive acknowledgment at the entrance to each of the Care Center’s six wings.

As all of us age, we’re all beginning to realize how important this “healthcare close to home” really is. We’re all starting to understand that we must stop taking this topnotch, high-quality healthcare for granted. It is one of the most important services our rural towns offers its citizens.

Thank you to all of the contributors to our “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign. We are proud to provide caring services for our area elderly. And soon they’ll all be in newly renovated rooms – because of you. Thank you.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

MEMORIAL

FROM PAGE 1

She attended Hettinger High School and would graduate in 1972 with honors. In Connie’s high school memory book she quoted a poem by Henry Van Dyke: “Time is…Too slow for those who wait.

Too swift for those who fear. Too long for those who grieve. Too short for those who rejoice. But for those who love, Time is not.” The poem would become a perfect description of the way Connie lived her life.

After graduating, she began working at the nursing home in her home town where she would meet the love of her life, Rod Enerson. As fate would have it, he was helping with some electrical work at the facility. They married on Dec. 27, 1974. The year Connie passed away they would have been married 41 years. Connie and Rod had two children, Rhonda and Scott. She would stay home with them until they began school. She took pride and joy in being a wife and mother. Her children have many happy memories of arts and craft projects at home with their mom.

Connie worked many odd jobs, even planting trees for soil conservation.

Her interests were varied and she was always willing to help. She came to work

for Adams County at the Register of Deeds office in 1998 and would continue working for the county for the remainder of her life.

She began working at Social Services in March of 2004. Connie is described by her co workers as “the glue that held everything together”. She was a listener and a giver to those who sought advice. She made those who came to the Social Service office feel welcome and she never judged anyone in need.

She relished every moment and always took the time to be there for anyone seeking advice, a caring ear, or even just one of her delicious recipes. She supported her community as well as her friends and family.

Connie was known for her spirited laugh and the ability to brighten the day.

Her supportive nature was treasured by those who knew her, but on June 1, 2015 it would be Connie’s turn to be supported. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, as her mother had been several years prior. Connie fought her battle as she lived her life, with a brave face and positive attitude. Her husband Rod never left her side.

The day before she passed she was still happy to be helping her co workers from her hospital bed. She lost her battle on Oct. 13, 2015 with her friends and family beside her.

After her passing her coworkers missed her dear-

There was an unkempt corner outside the Social Services office that they decided would make a perfect place for a memorial for Connie. Adams

County commissioners granted them permission to use the small corner for a memorial, and with donations of time and money from those who knew Connie ,they worked to make it happen. Today it’s no longer a forgotten corner,

but a flower filled memorial to Connie. There’s a large engraved memorial stone with a teal ribbon for ovarian cancer awareness and a bench to relish a beautiful day and remember their friend. They are proud of the memorial,

Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts.

Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly fell behind 12-0. On top

of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25.

With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-

26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points.

They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied.

The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot.

Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the

Nighthawks.

Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points.

The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53.

Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks.

The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the

Harding County girls who came in with a 1-3 record. The Hettinger/Scranton girls also jumped out to an early lead as they were head 16-1 after the first stop, and 25-15 at half.

They held on in the second half although being outscored 2421 to pull off their second win of the season to go along with five losses.

Casey Joppa tallied 19 and Kinsey Jahner added 11 for the Nighthawks. Both had two 3-pointers.

Right Out The Window Ride Safe That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

My life is one revolving sticky note.

I list all the things I have to do in a day on one small, manageable sticky note.

The next day, I transfer all the things I didn’t get done to a new sticky note. The only time I really catch up is when I lose the sticky note.

I refuse to use the “note” application on my phone, because I am convinced that, subconsciously, I will then want to lose my phone.

A lot of my recent list has to do with the perils of home ownership. For many years, I led a nomadic life. I was in radio, so you move around a lot.

Sure, they’ll say you have artistic freedom, right up to the moment on “Swap and Shop,” when the old lady with a thick German accent calls in and announces her “Crotch Sale.” And you ask her if she has a lot of things in her “crotch” and how big and how old her “crotch” is.

That’s when all that artistic freedom goes right out the window.

But, point is, for years I didn’t worry about home maintenance. I was usually gone before things started falling apart. Now, I spend much of my time literally stalking contractors. I see them hunch down in their pickups when I drive to town.

Most of my work is minor repair, but contractors don’t want to do the piddly stuff— like fixing the things other contractors didn’t get right.

To this day, I have a ‘hit’ out on a weasel contractor, who is on the run in Montana.

My offer stands—50 bucks to anyone who gives him a good thrashing.

One nagging issue I have is a broken lock that can’t be replaced. Oh, it locks just fine. It just doesn’t unlock.

Apparently the manufacturers went out of business, because they got locked out of their own building. I’ve decided my best option is a deadbolt. But getting someone to install it is another thing. Most contractors only want to work on the bigmoney jobs. Even then, as part of some vast contractor conspiracy, they never finish the job, anyway.

I still have a small, but persistent, leak in my man cave caused by the fugitive weasel in Montana. It has since been repaired by four different contractors, thankfully, each time with a lifetime guarantee.

Another handyman, a former friend, abandoned me this summer with half the window trim unpainted.

Foolishly, I had paid in advance to keep him out of jail for missing child support payments. I think he’s in Montana with the other guy.

Dylan heroically finished the job. I rewarded him with a new Samsung phone.

It blew out one wall in his room, wounding a raccoon that just happened to be ambling by. We patched it with duct tape and black plastic (the wall, not the raccoon), until we can get an estimate. [if !supportEmptyParas] [endif ] My resentment toward contractors goes back to the unknown genius who built this house. He didn’t put vents in the bedrooms!

No air conditioning! What?

Every summer, the bedroom developed its own desert ecosystem. Cacti sprouted.

Bedouins camped in the corner. Once, I stepped on an iguana. We had so many fans going, it was like a wind tunnel. You had to strap yourself down to avoid being blown into the shelter belt.

Finally, I bought window air conditioners. Each spring, I have Dylan install them and, each fall, I have him pull them out. It was at the top of the list last weekend, when he came back from college. But before he could get to it, unbeknownst to me, India and her friend, India Two (really), decided to do it themselves. I was at my desk when India One walked in.

“Dad, something bad happened.”

Uh-oh.

“But it’s kind of funny.”

She held up a power cord, frayed wires on one end. The air conditioner had tumbled out the window.

“That’s $160 of not funny!”

The only reason she is not banished to Montana is that God is on her side.

The unit fell eight feet down and landed squarely in the window well without even a dent or a scratch. I think I can rewire it.

That same week, the ancient television in the master bedroom died. “Hey, India One,” I said, “Do you know how we can get that heavy old TV out of the bedroom?”

She didn’t.

“I know! I think after I drop my air conditioner out the window, I’ll just throw the television out, too.”

I crack myself up. She doesn’t think I’m funny at all. © Tony Bender, 2016 Tony Bender is the former Editor of the Adams County Record and current President of Redhead Publishing in Ashley, ND. He has been a featured columnist around the state and earned multiple awards for his writing.

Hello, I guess over the years I’ve probably written twenty stories about fall roundups.

From gathering yearlings on Standing Rock, to picking up pairs on Fort Berthold.

Used to be you’d leave pretty dang early so you could get the gather done before Hugh brought out his handy andy burgers, beans, pickles, and Hershey bars.

Shirley’s brother, Red, and I got in kind of a contest to see who could get there first. I had a little advantage because I lived about fifteen miles closer to the rez than Red. But I was bigger so it was harder for me to get up.

It got so bad we were hardly sleeping in our beds.

I’d put a horse in the barn at night and give him a good bait of grain so he was ready to go in the morning. I’d make a thermos of coffee so I could gulp that down on the way. And I’d leave by

Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

Measure 4 on the November ballot proposing to raise the tobacco tax is not about money. It’s about the 1,000 North Dakotans who die every year from the use of tobacco. And it’s about the thousands of others who linger in grief and pain for weeks and months.

North Dakota’s present tax of 44 cents is among the lowest in the nation. The measure would raise the tax to $2.20 a pack, not to generate revenue but to discourage smoking.

Big tobacco has been spending millions to divert public attention away from their cancer-inducing products and to keep voters from realizing that this is not about the money. It’s about their profits at the expense of North Dakota lives.

As a diversion from the real issue, Big Tobacco has been complaining about how the $70 million in revenue will be spent. In reality, they don’t care a whit about how the money will be spent. If all of the money went to starving children, they would still oppose the tax.

The $70 million is only one-fourth of the $330 million that tobacco addiction is

costing North Dakotans. The tax will recover only a fraction of that cost. The pain and grief are unquantifiable.

They talk about the number of pages involved in the measure. Here again, if the measure consisted of only one simple page, Big Tobacco would oppose it. And after they complain about the length of the measure, they turn around and fault the spending plan because it lacks details.

Hopefully, the tax will generate less and less revenue through the months ahead. That would tell us that smokers are kicking Big Tobacco right in the profits. In the interim, however, the revenue has to go somewhere and where better than to support veterans and health.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, smoking by North Dakota youth between age of 12 and 17 is above the national average. If the threat of cancer and OCPD doesn’t dissuade them from smoking, perhaps a tax of $2.20 would be convincing.

Another lament in this campaign has produced crocodile tears for the lowincome smokers. The assumption is that low-income folks will keep smoking, thereby perpetuating an unfair tax on the poor. It is a tax of choice. They do not have to choose to continue smoking.

While weeping for the low-income smokers, we need to keep in mind that these are also the folks who are disproportionately unin-

wouldn’t get off his horse and lead him through this bad stuff. He’d ride him.

And he was riding a good sorrel horse that would pick his way through anything you pointed him at.

With some encouragement from me, they started up this bad spot. They got hung up in some bull berries and had to take a detour.

About half way up, I saw Nick’s horse slip into one of the big cracks on this slide!

And it’s pretty much straight down if he goes over the edge. I hollered at Nick to bail off. I mean I screamed “BAIL Off!” And he did.

Just as he slipped off, that old pony tried to lunge out of that crevice and over the edge he went. He did a complete roll over and crashed down through the brush.

When he got to the bottom, he stood up, shook himself, and went to eating grass!

And I was thinking to myself, I’m glad I’m older and wiser so I don’t have to ride into stuff like that!

three or four in the morning.

Finally, it got so bad we would meet at four a.m.!

Four a.m.! And it didn’t get light enough to ride until six! We would sleep in the pickups until daylight.

Damn, we were dumb. But we were cowboys. I guess that kind of goes together.

We are doing a gather now west of Twin Buttes.

It’s rough country and a pretty good haul from the house to the pasture. I suppose it is 75 or 80 miles.

Nick and I were riding down Hay Draw. It’s a big old canyon that runs south into Hans Creek. It’s beautiful country. But there are a few spots that you really don’t want to ride into.

We spotted a couple cows on a side hill. They were trying to get down to the trail but were on the wrong side of a hill that had a big slide on it. So they had come to a standstill. Nick and I tried to wait them out, but the grass was lush and green where they were so they were pretty content to just stand there and eat.

Being older and wiser than Nick, I spotted kind of a deer trail that wound up through this slide. I pointed it out to Nick so he could try to ride up there.

Now Nick is a cowboy. He

sured and have no resources to pay the hospitals and care providers. They become Medicaid dependent.

Cancer is not a quick death; many victims linger for months and years, with millions of dollars paid by taxpayers or absorbed by hospitals who must recover losses by handing higher bills to paying customers.

Research indicates that higher taxes reduce tobacco consumption but that only happens when the increases are significant. Research also shows that for every 10 percent increase in the tax there will be a decline of three to seven percent in the number of smokers.

Measure 4 is proposing an increase of $1.76, four times the present tax rate, so we should expect a cigarette consumption decline of around 20 percent.

The tobacco companies can disregard the moral issues involved in promoting their addictive drug by claiming a fiduciary responsibility to stockholders.

Well, North Dakotans are not obligated to sacrifice their values for the profit of tobacco companies. Our fiduciary responsibility is to the lives of our people.

Measure #4 is not about money. It is about our belief that North Dakota lives matter.

The little girl was wideeyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!” *I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always cor-

Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON

There were a few snow flurries this week and the mercury dropped to 15 degrees Wednesday night, but the end of the week was nice and warm.

Marilyn Brockel’s funeral was Monday in McIntosh and her son Audie had a wonderful memorial service for her. It was nice to see all of Marilyn’s kids and grandkids and I also had a visit with Corson Co. Commissioner Darren Bauer over lunch at city hall after the funeral.

Loretta (Heinrich) Davis, 73, of Rapid City, passed away Monday, Oct. 10 at Westhills Village Health Care. Loretta was married to Earl Davis, who graduated from high school in Hettinger with Reuben. Earl’s mother was a Clarkson, so he’s related to a good share of Harding County. Loretta’s funeral was Wednesday at the First Congregational Church in Rapid. She was a really nice lady and her family has our sympathy.

We have a new grandson born Monday evening! Sage and Alaina are the proud parents of a baby boy born Oct. 10 in the Hettinger hospital. Although he arrived three weeks early, Dathan Jerome weighed in at 7 lb, 3 oz and is 20 inches long. He has three older sisters who are more than eager to help raise him, so he is a blessed little man.

If Dathan would have waited to arrive until Tuesday he could have shared his birthday with several other family members. Our grandson Cade Olson, our son Thad Olson, and Reub’s cousin Sandy Bill Matson all

have birthdays on Oct. 11.

There are two other new babies I haven’t told you about. Jack and Kim Anderson had a 9 lb baby girl on Oct. 1 they named Rowan Alyce. Alyce was the name of Jack’s grandmother, Alyce (Giannonatti) Blomberg.

Bleaux and Janel Johnson also had a baby girl Oct. 4.

Brinley Marie weighed 7 lb, 2 oz and is 19.5 inches long. LaQuita Shockley is Brinley’s grandmother.

Congratulations to all the new parents and grandparents!

On Wednesday Grandpa and I went to Hettinger to meet little Dathan after he and Alaina were home from the hospital. He’s a keeper all right!

There was a State/ Tribal Relations committee meeting in Eagle Butte on Thursday. Rep. Elizabeth May wasn’t able to be there because she is on federal jury duty and Rep. Lee Qualm and Sen. Ernie Otten were also excused.

The meeting was held at the main auditorium which was without water because of a water main break. The gas station on the west side of town was one of the few places that still had water, so we all ate lunch over there.

Casey and Taz went up to the Hackamore Friday morning to help work Clint Doll’s Corrientes. It was an absolutely beautiful day to be working outside and everything went well.

The Harding County football team had a game against Herried/Selby in Buffalo Friday evening.

Herried/Selby only scored once and Harding County won handily. Next week Harding County plays Lemmon and the playoffs begin the next week.

Sandy Dan, Lorri and Lorri’s young nephew Austin McClure brought us a trailer load of critters Saturday, a two-year old steer and a lamb to put in

the feedlot, seven hens, and another rooster to replace what the coons and fox have eaten. Three of the hens are Barred Rocks, three are California Whites, the big yellow hen is a Rainbow, and the rooster is a Speckled Sussex. With two Leghorns, a Rhode Island Red, and seven Silver Lace Wyandotte hens and an Americana rooster we already had, our chickens are a pretty colorful menagerie!

The Ludlow Fire Department had their pancake supper Saturday night at the Ludlow Hall with a huge crowd in attendance. Ren McCoid entertained us with country music while we stuffed ourselves. The pancake supper was an enjoyable end to a beautiful day and we drove home beneath a gorgeous full moon.

Sunday evening Rosebud Lutheran Church north of Bison held their annual Smorgasbord. Reub and I and several others from the Reva area joined the large crowd to avail ourselves of the delicious Scandinavian delicacies, lefsa, Swedish meatballs and ham, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes with white gravy, lots of pickles, fruit soup, and all sorts of pie and desserts. And again, we stuffed ourselves to the limit – or maybe just a little beyond the limit.

With all the new babies and grandbabies, I leave you with this: Grandkids say the darnedest things *I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup, under the watchful eyes of my young granddaughter, as she’d done many times before. After I applied my lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!”

I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye... *A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter

Nighthawk basketball teams both down Harding County

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts.

Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly fell behind 12-0. On top

of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25.

With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-

26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points.

They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied.

The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot.

Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the

Nighthawks.

Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points.

The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53.

Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks.

Floyd Chalcraft, 85 Floyd Mathew Chalcraft, Jr. was born on Nov. 21, 1930 in Hettinger, North Dakota to Floyd, Sr. and Iva (Williams) Chalcraft. He attended school in Hettinger. He married Mary Joan Halvorson on Dec. 27, 1955 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Hettinger. They welcomed six children into their family over the years.

Floyd was always interested in photography and taking pictures. He started working for Olson Photography, owned by Don and Kathy Olson, about 1947. His first trip to Minneapolis, Minn. was with Don and Kathy for business, both a learning and purchasing trip. He worked there until Don was tragically killed in a car accident.

He then took over the studio until the Hettinger National Guard was activated in January 1951. Floyd then served in the Army during the Ko-

OBITUARY rean War. He returned to North Dakota in 1954 and worked for Osborn Studio in Dickinson.

Floyd then moved to Mankato, Minn. in 1955 where he worked for Schutte-Barnett.

He headed their photography department, taking pictures for the newspaper, a catalog, and wedding pictures, as well as other types of pictures.

Floyd also worked in Miles City, Mont., owned a studio in Lemmon, S.D., and then moved back to Minnesota.

In 1960, he returned to Hettinger to work for his fatherin-law at Halvorson’s Super Valu. He continued his love for taking pictures, taking pictures when not doing his regular job, developing them in his darkroom at his home.

Floyd retired in 1995. He and his wife, Mary Joan, moved to Mesa, Ariz. in 2007, after visiting there for several years. Floyd was a resident of Mesa until recently when

he was moved to Fargo to be close to family.

Floyd had a heart for children as he was a “child at heart” himself. He instigated many 4th of July playful family water fights demonstrating his love for fun and games. Floyd deeply loved family and the time he spent with them. Floyd was also active in his community and church. It was his generous heart that started the annual community Thanksgiving Dinner in Hettinger. He was also active in the Knights of Columbus, was a Church Eucharistic Minister, and participated in Promise Keepers events with his sons and grandsons.

Chalcraft Floyd enjoyed staying active and had a love for sailing and boating, camping and traveling, gardening, cooking, photography and art, skiing, sledding and ice skating. He touched many people’s lives, particularly those of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and will be greatly missed.

Floyd passed from this life on Thursday, Oct. 13 at the age of 85, while on hospice care with Hospice of the Red River Valley. Following his wishes, his remains were cremated, with burial at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetary along side his wife, Mary Joan.

Terry Lynn Laufer was the second of five children born to Norman and Donna (Banning) Laufer.

Terry grew up farming and his passion for it only grew stronger with every passing year. Terry graduated from Mott High School in 1978 and went on to complete two years of tech school in Wapheton, N.D. On April 22, 1983 Terry married the love of his life, Donna Mattis. Together they had two children Jennifer and Devan.

Throughout the years Terry and his family went on numerous adventures whether it was custom harvesting during the summer, snowmobiling in the winter, or traveling the world on a cruise ship. Terry was very passionate about so many things and had a funny way of making you love it too.

He always had a happy go lucky attitude and could turn anybody’s bad day good. He loved spending time on the farm, at the cabin, riding in the Big Horns, or traveling on the motorcycle. He loved to spend time with his grandkids, Will and Ashlynn.

A qualified patient could be dispensed up to three ounces of usable marijuana, and could grow marijuana if his or her home is located more than forty miles from the nearest registered facility. For violations, the Act would authorize the Department of Health to provide for corrective action, suspension, revocation, appeal, hearings, and referral for criminal prosecution.

Hettinger/Scranton takes down Wildfire

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record One down and two more region games left for the Night Hawks to maintain their second place standing in Region 7. Mott-Regent came to Hettinger on Oct. 18 with a 4-4 region record to take on the Night Hawks.

The Wildfire started out with an impressive 25-23 win in the initial set. They took the lead early and maintained it by managing to hold off any long scoring runs by the Night Hawks. Junior MaLynn Kautzman had an excellent first set for the Wildfire with her kills and strong serves.

The next three sets belonged to the Night Hawks as they outscored the Wild Fire 25-17, 25-13 and 2515. After their first set loss, the Night Hawks seemed inspired and it was reflected in their effort. It was a team effort but Molly Holt, Ab-

Alyssa Andress goes to hit the ball against Mott-Regent.

(Photo by Cole Benz/The Record) bie Kludt, Alyssa Andress, Brianna Robinson and Taylor Burwick really stepped up. It started in the second set as it was up for grabs until Robinson started serving with the Night Hawks holding a slim 10-9 lead. When she was through serving, the Night Hawks were leading 16-9 and they never looked back for the rest of the sets.

Both the C squad and junior varsity won their matches also. The C squad prevailed by scores of 25-13 and 25-15. Madelyn Larson

had some impressive kills and serves for the young Night Hawks. The JV easily won their match with scores of 25-13 and 25-15.

The varsity upped their region record to 7-2 with two region games remaining.

They entertain RichardtonTaylor at Hettinger on Oct. 25, and travel to Bowman on Nov. 1. In between those two matches they take on Faith at Hettinger on Oct. 27. Faith currently has a 13-12 record.

It will be senior night at the Richardton-Taylor match.

Divide County upends Night Hawks in playoff action

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record The quarterbacks for Divide County and HettingerScranton had productive games. But despite Maroon quarterback DeJuan Jenkins going down in the second half, Divide County came out on top 36-32.

After taking a hard hit on a kickoff return to start the second half he was slow to get up. He was tended to by medical personnel at the game and left in an ambulance for further evaluation.

Jaxon Mellmer of the Night Hawks had his own stomach problems, but stayed in the game.

The Night Hawks started the game with a new wrinkle in their offense with quarterback Mellmer running the option, and on his first run he gained a first down and more. The next play developed the same way as he got inside the Night Hawks’ 20-yard line. But the Night Hawks season long nemesis, a holding penalty, brought the ball back and the drive later stalled.

The Maroons took over and methodically ran the ball down the field and scored on a Jenkins touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, the Night Hawks would be called for holding and then fumbled, and Divide County recovered. They would score again in the first quarter on another Jenkins run.

Mellmer scored the first touchdown for the Night Hawks on a keeper up the middle for a 49-yard touchdown run. He then would connect with Isaiah Kludt for the two-point conversion.

Both teams would trade touchdowns in the second quarter as Jenkins passed for one and ran 53 yards for another.

Kludt would score in between Jenkins touchdown with runs of 54 and 25 yards. The Maroons would make one of their two-point conversions but the Night Hawks could not on both of theirs. Divide County led 26-20 at half time.

Even with Jenkins out in the second half the Maroons still had a solid running game with their misdirec-

tion and runs up the middle behind their 6-foot-8, 278 lb center that usually kept the drive going.

They held the Night Hawks scoreless in the third quarter and got a 9-yard touchdown run from Aidan Eriksmoen. They also recorded a safety after the snap from the Night Hawk center sailed over the punters head and would bounce out of the back of end zone.

The Night Hawk defense stiffened in the final quarter and held Divide County scoreless while recording two touchdowns. Damon Cornelius would score from five yards out and Kludt would catch a beautiful pass from Mellmer for a 53-yard scoring play. But another old nemesis, the 2-point conversion, was not successful on both scores. After the touchdown, the Maroons would run out the remaining twoand-a-half minutes.

The dominance of the Maroons showed up as they had 79 plays compared to the Night Hawks 36 for the game. They also had 410 yards rushing compared to the Night Hawks 282.

Although losing, the Night Hawks played well overall despite having three key players out due to injury, Nevan Weaver, Hudson Pierce (non-football medical issue) and Jacob Dix. Leading rushers for Hettinger-Scranton were Mellmer with 139 and Kludt had 132. For Divide County Jenkins led with 165, Eriksmoen had 127 and Taylor Landsverk added 75.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

Divide County ended the football season for the Night Hawks with a 36-32 victory on Oct. 15 at Hettinger. Injuries really were a factor this year. They lose 11 seniors this year, so the younger players will have to fill their shoes next season.

Beulah evened their Region 7 volleyball record at 4-4 as they upset New England in three sets on Oct. 13 by scores of 25-22, 25-17, 26-24.

That opens up the possibility of the Night Hawks finishing in second place in the region. But they must defeat their remaining region games against Richardton-Taylor and Bowman County. That would also mean they would not have to compete in a region play-in match and it also should put them in the bottom bracket opposite of Trinity in the region tournament.

New England had a rough two days. The day after their loss to Beulah they lost to Flasher in three sets in a non-region match. Flasher is currently tied with Shiloh for 2nd place in Region 5 and they have an overall record of 14-5.

Last year’s 9-man championship game had Richland getting by North Prairie (Rolla/Rolette/Wolford) by a score of 44-38. Both are in this year’s playoffs with North Prairie coming in undefeated at 8-0. Richland is in Region 1 and has a 5-2 region record with region losses to Hankinson and Wyndmere-Lidgerwood.

Hankinson went undefeated in region play and the only loss they had was to Mott-Regent in their opening game at Shiloh. Wyndmere-Lidgerwood’s only two losses were to Hankinson and HettingerScranton.

Next year’s 9-man football will have some changes. In Region 5 we lose Bowman to 11-man and pick up Central McLean (Underwood/Turtle Lake-Mercer/McClusky).

They had a 2-6 record in Region 3. Region 5 also added another Region 3 team in Shiloh who are currently undefeated. From what I un-

derstand Shiloh was headed for 11-man (where they belong) but when Killdeer opted up to 11-man, Shiloh volunteered to move down to 9-man. More travel expenses with those two teams.

There was a vote on 9-man going to eight regions, but it was voted down 21-16.

To me, eight regions make better sense as traveling costs could be reduced with each region having five to six teams. They could also have just the top teams in the regions qualify for the playoffs and reduce the playoff rounds by one. Now they have 24 teams qualifying and the first round games are normally blowouts. It may also reduce injuries.

Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: -Oct. 22, Cross Country State Meet at Jamestown -Oct. 25, Varsity Volleyball vs Richardton-Taylor at Hettinger (Senior Night) - Oct. 27, Varsity Volleyball vs Faith at Hettinger - Oct. 28, Boys Elementary Basketball vs Mott-Regent at Hettinger See you at the games.

Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts.

Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly fell behind 12-0. On top

of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25.

With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-

26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points.

They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied.

The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot.

Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the

Nighthawks.

Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points.

The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53.

Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks.

The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the

Harding County girls who came in with a 1-3 record. The Hettinger/Scranton girls also jumped out to an early lead as they were head 16-1 after the first stop, and 25-15 at half.

They held on in the second half although being outscored 2421 to pull off their second win of the season to go along with five losses.

Casey Joppa tallied 19 and Kinsey Jahner added 11 for the Nighthawks. Both had two 3-pointers.
