Nelson says he will continue to help with their radio broadcasts

Pastor Ron Nelson spent his life spreading the gospel in Cameroon. And on Oct. 31, he will make his 13th trip back to the west African country, since retirement, as he continues to assist the efforts.

Nelson originally left the United States and spent a year learning french in France in 1959. From there he went to Africa where he worked among the tribe called Dowayo before helping set up a radio station and recording studio in 1965.

“We decided the best way to reach Muslim people was through radio broadcast, because a preacher can’t go around into the Muslim villages,” Nelson said.

Initially, Nelson and his group set up the recording studio and would record messages to be sent out for broadcast.

Radio Sawtu Linjiila started with a single, powerful, transmitter located in Ethiopia.

Now they broadcast with 20 transmitters The broadcast in the Fulani language.

With roughly 17 million, the Fulani make up a large population, which is why it was decided to broadcast in their language.

Nelson said that an estimated 1.5 million are reached by their efforts.

(Courtesy Photo) His trip this year will take him from North Dakota, to Minneapolis, to France and then finally to his destination, Cameroon. This trip will last three weeks and he will help with the radio station and then spend a week with a Christian Village of the group Fulani.

Nelson has continued to help people in Cameroon while he lives in Hettinger.

Throughout the past year he has helped raised enough money to allow Paula Ja’e to purchase a vehicle. Donations have come from a wide range of community members in the Hettinger area.

home businesses, and Jill Anderson, who works for KNDC and helped with the planning and organization of the event, said that it is a typical number compared to past years.

Melissa Stafford, who has attended the event the past two years to support her direct marketing, home-based business, said that it’s all about exposure when attending these events.

“More people can come and see what you do, some people don’t know that you do direct sales, and they might not know you’re in the area,” she said. “So you kind of get your name out a little better.”

Stafford said she talked to more people this year than last, and though she may not have done business with everyone she talked to, she still made contacts.

Cindy Ham, who has been attending the event since before it was primarily hosted

by KNDC, said that getting to talk to other businesses is nice, because sometimes you don’t always know what’s going on with other companies, and their very accessible at the farm and home show.

IN BRIEF

North Dakota is 127 Years Young Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016, is North Dakota’s 127th Anniversary of Statehood.

In 1889, it became the 39th state admitted to the union when President Harrison signed the Proclamation of Admission for North Dakota and South Dakota at 3:40 p.m.

ET. The formal official process towards statehood began at on February 22, 1889, when President Cleveland signed the Enabling Act that had been passed by the Congress.

An election was held on May 14, 1889, to elect 75 delegates to a Constitutional Convention, which was held in Bismarck from July 4 to August 17. Then, on October 1, 1889, the voters approved the new constitution, which was a requirement for admission. Of the 35,548 votes cast, 77% of the voters voted in favor of statehood. However, since women did not have the right to vote until August 26, 1920, only men voted. At statehood, the population of the state was approximately 190,000. It has grown from a population of 2,400 only twenty years earlier.

North Dakota and South Dakota were part of the Dakota Territory created in 1861, which included much of the present day states of Montana and Wyoming

Pumpkins, turkeys, and gifts...OH MY!

By TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation The West River Health Services Foundation had an amazingly successful day at the “KNDC Farm & Home Show” at the Hettinger Armory on Friday, Oct. 21. Not only was Ted Uecker, Fund Development Officer at WRHS, able to meet with new and previous supporters of the WRHS Foundation and describe the successful fundraising results that have taken place the last two years; but for a $10 or more gift to the Foundation, area citizens received a pumpkin and a $5 off a turkey coupon to be redeemed at Foundation partner Kennedy’s Fresh Foods in November. This deal was just too good for most people to pass up.

Needless to say, as always, the area citizenry stepped up to the plate bigtime once again – giving over 60 gifts to the Foundation, ranging from $10 to $100, and totaling $1,560! This is by far the largest amount of individual gifts received at the Farm & Home Show the last three years! Maybe local people are agreeing that we have to stop taking this top-notch healthcare “close to home” for granted? Or maybe receiving

ers from our Foundation partner Prairie Rose Floral. Christi Schmitz, Jean Dix and Sheri Uecker also gave generous gifts and received prizes as well.

Special thanks to Kyle and Mike at Kennedy’s Fresh Foods for supplying the pumpkins and coupons; to Alyssa and Prairie Rose Floral for the lovely bouquet; to Nolan and Jill at KNDC for hosting this terrific event; and to all of the gracious supporters of the Foundation – together we are making a difference!

And may be the most important event on this day – was the awesome outpouring of support for the Tammy & Kevin Schneider Benefit. Just when you thought the whole world around us was getting kind of ugly, we all witnessed the amazing display of supporting our neighbors in need. That evening, the entire Armory gymnasium was filled with people playing bingo (with all of the winnings donated back and the Jaycee’s matching the total), a staggering amount of live and silent auction items, and numerous free will donations for the lunch and supper. Thank you Western Dakota – proud to live here with you. Onward!

Cleanup underway in Bucyrus

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor On the surface it sounds like a routine city cleanup.

But the work that has been done in Bucyrus has really impacted the way the little town west of Hettinger looks right now.

“When I talk about it, it doesn’t seem like much,” Bucurys City Auditor Mary Rowley said. “But some of the residence have been very unhappy about this for years and years. Suddenly we got together and got going on it.”

Initiated by the city, two individuals have been integral to the cleanup work in town, according to Rowley.

Ardella Dschaak and Theresa Hunter have spearheaded the movement.

The cleanup started with the growing grass.

“The first thing we got

a pumpkin and a $5 off coupon for a turkey, made sense to people for their $10 or more investment in improving local healthcare?

No matter what, the WRHS Foundation sure is thankful for all of the awesome community support. We have been on a roll the last two years – surpassing our $500,000 MRI Campaign goal (raised $681,230 to date – and the MRI Scanner is in the house!); our $145,500 “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign goal (raised $155,957 so far); and our $7,500 Mott Community Matching Challenge Campaign goal (raised $34,100 so far). And now we raised another $1,560 from pumpkin sales and a $5 off coupon, for various areas at WRHS and WHLC including: $1,015 toward “Partners In Health”; $275 for our “One Room..”; $120 toward West River Ambulance; $100 for Endowment Fund; and $50 for MRI Campaign.

We also had seven drawings (one each hour) at the Farm & Home Show for “ALL IN TOGETHER” t-shirts and MRI glass coffee mugs. And our largest giver of the day, Erin Timm, received a beautiful bouquet of fall colored flow-

people to do is cut grass,” Rowley said.

The other big tasks was removing much of the fallen branches and dead trees.

Some trees killed or damaged from the fire a few years ago were still present.

But Rowley said that some of the dead vegetation was not necessarily from the fire, but from old age or weathering.

The group went from lot to lot, and encouraged the

owners to clean up their properties, and since they started the movement in May, they have received a great deal of support from the residents.

“We haven’t met really any stiff resistance,” Rowley said.

Rowley said the city also contacted the Southwest District Health Department and had someone come down to inspect a few of the empty buildings in town.

Some of which have been unoccupied for 50 years, according to Rowley.

The representative examined the structures and decided they must come down. So far three of the four buildings have been torn down, and one owner filled in a basement with dirt so no one wandering would fall and get injured.

To date, the cleanup has been owner-driven, and the city hasn’t spent any money, according to Rowley. It has been a long time in the making, and though it is seems like minor updates, the towns people can already see a difference, Rowley said.

“Some of the residence have been very unhappy about this for years and years. Suddenly we got together and got going on it,” she said. “The people living there can certainly see a big difference.”

Hettinger Area Chamber Secretary and Treasurer Earleen Friez said that even though the crowed ebbed and flowed, she thought the event overall seemed to draw a larger crowd this year, and one reason was a fundraiser being held in conjunction.

Throughout the day, patrons of the event were able to buy lunch, baked goods, and attended a dinner to benefit the Schneiders, a local family that the community has come out to support while they endure various medical treatments.

“This year was really busy, which was wonderful, with all the activity with the Schneider benefit,” Friez said. “And so that was wonderful.”

Cut-Throat Cooking That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

When my mother won the Oktoberfest German Cooking Championship this month, I wasn’t surprised.

Her spaetzle contains a secret ingredient—bacon, which, as you well know, is nature’s most perfect food.

Hug a pig today.

For those unfamiliar with spaetzle, it’s made of small homemade noodles—little blobs of dough mixed with sauerkraut and, of course, bacon. Some people argue it should be made with ground beef. But are they Oktoberfest cooking champions? No. I rest my case, losers.

Because I am the Ashley Chamber of Commerce president, I wanted to make sure I did my part to make the event a success. Which means Mom had to do her part. Now, this wasn’t just about me bringing in a ringer. This was about getting some spaetzle. But after serving the ravenous hordes, there was nothing left for me in the roaster. This isn’t even America anymore.

As I watched Mom spike the ladle after she won, a twinge of envy washed over me. When the Great Ashley Chili Cook-Off rolled around a few weeks later, I was all in.

Most people only remember me for my baking championships. I was the Frederick High School Valentine’s Cake Baking Contest winner two years running. I’ve been lobbying them to put up a sign: “Home of Tony Bender, Cake Baking Champion, 1975 & 1976.” Now, that my friend, Gare Bare Schlosser, is on the City Council, I’m pretty sure this is going to

happen.

Before the great Chili Cook-Off, I had lost only one cooking contest. That was in Juneau, Alaska, during a Celebrity Cake Baking contest. Among the other celebrities was a screechyvoiced anchorwoman from the public television station, the owner of the inflatable furniture store, and a fisherman named Bob. The organizer of the contest was a magazine publisher who loved nothing more than to make radio disc jockeys look bad. As if we needed any help.

I don’t remember if I finished second or third, because in the immortal words of Ricky Bobby, “If you ain’t first, you’re last”. When my Mom heard about my ignominious defeat, she was furious. For one thing, I had besmirched the family name.

Sure, lots of Benders have besmirched the family name, but this is still remembered in somber tones, after all the Christmas wine has been drunk, as The Big Besmirch.

When I visit, she still makes me sleep in the tool shed.

Mom wrote a scathing letter to the editor, extolling my culinary acumen and calling the nefarious Juneau publisher, among other things, “Nothing but a frosted spoon licker.”

After that, I pretty much retired from competitive cooking. But I was inspired by my mother’s win. It was a big deal. They had a parade in Frederick. My brother, Mike, drove a lawnmower with my mother riding behind in the garden trailer, throwing full cans of beer to onlookers. Fights broke out.

Dude, when it comes to chili, I got game. My kids love my chili. My dad was a chili maestro. (He used bacon.) Last year, because of my chili prowess and because I couldn’t come up with an excuse quick enough, I was chosen to be one of the judges. I figured, this year, I would be a sure-

Hunting With Friends

fire winner.

I knew some of the stiffest competition would come from Teri Rueb, who along with her husband, Kirk, owns Ashley Super Valu.

Kirk is the cook-off organizer. You just know they save all the best beans for themselves.

If Kirk’s name sounds familiar, it is because he once killed a goat in a celebrity goat-milking contest. But I don’t like to bring that up.

What’s done is done. My point is, they like to win.

I would love to regale you with heroic tales of my victory, but I didn’t even place!

Talk about rigged! When my brother, Joel, in Denver heard about this shameful episode, he called, greatly concerned. I mean a Bender comes home with a participation ribbon in a cooking contest? That’s like one of us losing a drinking game.

Did I use the right ingredients, he wondered?

“Sun dried raccoon,” I replied.

“But was the meat tender?”

“Tenderized by a hundred semi tires.”

“Perfect. Of course, you remembered bacon...”

There was a long silence that spoke for itself.

Click.

Gus Schlepp is the new champion. Terri Rueb took third. Next to mine, It was my personal favorite. I asked her what her secret was.

Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist

Hello, I’m not much of a hunter.

Unless you count looking for my hearing aids, glasses, cows, calves, or the leftover roast beef. I mean I don’t go out and hunt often.

Oh, I used to. I’ve hunted deer, elk, sharptails, ducks, geese, coyotes, rabbits, pheasant, and maybe some others that I don’t dare mention. I’m not sure on the statute of limitations.

But dang, as I’ve gotten older, I just don’t have much desire to shoot anything. I guess I’ve spent too much time trying to keep animals alive. But that’s just me.

But I do enjoy hunting season! I enjoy having friends and relatives who have an opportunity to

hunt and visit a bit. I enjoy watching a good dog working. Whether it’s recovering a pheasant, duck, treeing a raccoon or cat, or working sheep or cattle.

But mostly I enjoy the friendship.

For example, we have some friends who’ve often hunted on our land for decades. A couple of them are getting long in the tooth, but they manage to round up a few younger guys and come back every year.

They come from Colorado, Minneapolis, Fargo, Bismarck, and sometimes California or Nevada. We treat them to a spot to hunt, a cold beer, and a good visit. Filled with rodeo and ranch stories.

This year they had one CEO from Colorado. I suppose he was in his seventies.

He had played basketball for NDSU in the early or mid sixties.

It’s not often you can have an impromptu deck party in late October in North Dakota, but Saturday was one of those days.

These gentlemen had finished their hunt and we had

Lack of Research Endangers Marsy’s Law Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

Measure No. 3 on the November ballot calls for inserting a series of victim rights, called Marsy’s Law, into the state constitution.

Financed by California Billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III, the North Dakota effort is chaired by Kathleen Wrigley. Both have had bitter personal experiences with their lack of standing to monitor and intervene in the normal criminal justice processes.

Opponents of Measure No. 3 have been making an issue out of a nonresident billionaire throwing money into a state measure campaign. This is nothing new.

Billionaires have been using their wealth to exploit state initiative and referendum procedures all across the country. In fact, the Koch brothers are now dumping several million to kill an election reform measure in South Dakota.

To clarify the debate over Marsy’s law, we should understand where the various constituencies are coming from.

First, there are the states attorneys whose job it is prosecute criminal behavior.

Under Marsy’s Law, a victim would have the right to be informed about bail provisions, plea agreements and trial delays.

For the part-time states attorneys in rural counties, this intervention would take time away from their private practice. If fewer plea agreements and more trials resulted from Marsy’s law, this could burden their prosecutorial load and distract from their private casework.

Next, we have the defense attorneys who are beneficiaries of a cumbersome system that is under the radar when it comes to accountability. They like to game the criminal justice system by stalling for time until the system goes soft and clients get a plea deal. Under Marsy’s Law, someone could monitor cozy settlements.

On the other side, we have some law enforcement folks.

They are supporting Marsy’s Law because they invest a lot of time and personal risk apprehending wrongdoers who, if convicted, would spend years behind bars.

Instead, a plea agreement comes out with probation or suspended sentences.

After this happens a few times, they become disillusioned and start to feel that their efforts are being washed down the drain with plea deals. They see Marsy’s Law as putting more teeth in the process.

Opponents of Measure #3 argue that Marsy’s Law is going to attract thousands of victims and cost a lot of money. San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi says that, at most, 20 percent of crime victims have used Marsy’s Law in California.

The cost of Marsy’s Law will crop up randomly across the state in a variety of venues and will be absorbed by the existing

reservations for supper at 6.

So we had four or five hours to kill before they treated us to a nice steak supper at The Crossing.

So I raided the fridge and happened across some refreshments. It didn’t take much persuasion to get a good deck party going.

Now I’ve been leaving before daylight the last two weeks to gather cattle near Twin Buttes. I’ve been saddling in the dark and unsaddling in late afternoon.

As we told our ranch and rodeo stories, this CEO informs me that in Wyoming “they had real cowboys”!

I think his exact words were, “In Wyoming they have real cowboys. They wear hats and ride even when it’s cold and the wind is blowing. I’ve seen them!”

Have you ever seen a CEO wearing a beer? You should have been here.

criminal justice system.

There will be no special appropriations.

In summary, Marsy’s Law proposes new levels of accountability and transparency in the criminal justice process. But there is one problem. Measure No. 3 is based on skimpy anecdotal information supplied by a handful of victims.

How many plea deals are letting wrongdoers off easy?

We have no study to give us an answer.

How often do states attorneys avoid prosecution to save the county the cost of a trial or to cut down on their workloads? We don’t know.

How often does the state parole board release risky wrongdoers?

How well does the limited parole and probation staff monitor wrongdoers under their supervision?

In other words, do voters have enough information to pass judgment on a criminal justice system about which they know little?

In the absence of research, voters will be forced to cast their ballots on the basis of their general impressions. The bottom line question is this: does the North Dakota criminal justice need more accountability and transparency to protect victims, or is it sufficiently accountable and transparent as it stands Most of us don’t know.

STATE OFF NORTH DAKOTA

Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON

This week had typical fall weather, warm during the day and cold at night.

Those two little showers that gave us a third of an inch of moisture were much appreciated.

Sam Marty is a grandpa again. His daughter Samantha and Darin Sandberg are the proud parents of a baby girl, born Sunday, Oct. 16 in Minneapolis. Little Olivia Sam weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and is 20 inches long. She joins two older siblings, twins Emmett and Ellie.

Congratulations!

Casey, Taz and several other neighbors helped Bill Holt ship calves on Monday. While they were gone, Reub finished building the big sliding doors for the addition they built on the lambing shed. After the guys got home that afternoon they got both doors hung. Their next project will be building pens in the new addition.

A large crowd of friends and family gathered at the Indian Creek church Monday to say goodbye to Della (Oliver) Hatle. Della lived near Meadow all of her 79 years and she was buried in the Gallaway Cemetery near Meadow. Her family has our sympathy.

Louise, Rone, and Jace Jenson shipped calves on Tuesday. When Casey and Taz were headed up there with the horse trailer to help, they had to stop and chase a bunch of our bulls off the highway. The bulls had evidently gotten in a fight and tore the fence down, so Reub had to take

the fencing pickup over there to fix fence. I had a Heritage board meeting in Spearfish that day and when I came home I was pleased to see that Reub had picked up a lot of big rocks and bladed the road into place to smooth out the gravel they hauled in last week.

Justin Seidel brought us a load of diesel and gas Wednesday and Justin and Casey ate lunch with us. Taz wasn’t here because he and some other local cowboys had gone to Billings for the NILE rodeo that evening.

Taz got home late Wednesday night and these guys sorted off and weaned our heifer calves at our east place Thursday morning.

They had a really good crew come to help, Doug and Clint Doll, Rone and Jace Jenson, Jeremy and Pitch Stadheim, and Bill Holt. I took coffee and snacks over there to fortify the crew after they had the cattle gathered. They hauled the heifer calves home to the feedlot as they got them sorted off and things went so well that they were here to eat before noon. Thanks guys!

Most of Harding County went to Lemmon Thursday evening to watch the Ranchers play the Cowboys in the last regular season football game. Harding County won and now they will play Faith in the first playoff game on Tuesday in Buffalo.

Friday morning Reub and I handed out Gideon Bibles to the fifth grade class in Buffalo and then had coffee with Bill and Verona Vroman in their new apartment at Peaceful Prairie Estates.

From there we went to Reva and got Henry and Linda Mohagen to join us for lunch at the Gideon Pastor’s Banquet at the New Hope Church in Lemmon.

Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day. Taz and Casey went to the rodeo in

Bowman, Reub spent the day working outside, and all my laundry got dry outside on the clothesline. I spent most of the morning on the phone with people who wanted me to explain the ten issues that will be on the ballot in November.

You know you’re living in cowboy country when your county’s states a ttorney winds up in the hospital after getting bucked off his horse. Dusty Ginsbach got bucked off Saturday morning and he has five broken ribs and a tension pneumothorax so the hospital kept him overnight. Busted ribs take a long time to heal and, speaking from experience, I suggest Dusty avoid sneezing, coughing, laughing, and taking any deep breaths!

Bryce came home from college in Chadron for the weekend and we all headed to Dickinson early Sunday morning for the baptism of our granddaughter Lanie and Matt Klug’s son Trace.

All of Trace’s grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles were there.

Aunt Bryce and Uncle Alex Klug were Trace’s sponsors.

Following the baptism we gathered for food and fellowship at Lanie and Matt’s house.

Kelli Doll’s baby shower was Sunday afternoon at Slim Buttes Lutheran, so as soon as we were done eating we headed south for her shower. Laura Johnson, Janet and Stacy Doll, and Amanda Olson cooked up a lot of delicious goodies and had the church basement beautifully decorated.

Sunday was a really fun day!

These guys have done a lot of fencing around here.

They build it to last and do it as cheaply as they can, unlike the government in this story: Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.

One is from Chicago,

another is from Newark and the third is from New Orleans.

All three go with an official to examine the fence.

The Chicago contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.

“Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $900, $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

The Newark contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700.

That’s $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.”

The New Orleans contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the government official and whispers, “$2,700.”

The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys.

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.

FACS Class learns sewing For the past two weeks, the seventh grade Family and Consumer Science Class has been learning how to hand sew. One of the fun activities was to sew on buttons to fabric. Instead of tossing a button up shirt in the corner when the button falls off, this class now knows how to replace that ornery button.

After mastering sewing on a button, they were given the animal kit of their choice.

They were first to read all the directions to get an idea of how each step was to be done. During that time, there were just a few “battle wounds” from the needles

Virginia Walby, 90 Service of Remembrance for Virginia Walby, 90, of Hettinger was Monday, Oct. 24, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at the Centennial Chapel of Evanson Jensen Funeral Homes in Hettinger. Rev. Richard Wyman will officiate and burial will follow at the Hettinger Cemetery. Visitation was from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23 at the Centennial Chapel.

Virgina passed away at the Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger, ND on Friday, Oct., 21, 2016.

Walby Virginia Fitch was born in Regent, N.D. on April 15, 1926 to Lowell and Marie (Haskins) Fitch, grew up in Hettinger and lived there her entire life. She was a star at the young age of 11, leading the Hettinger Cowboy Band as one of the first drum majorettes in the state. The Bismarck Tribune in 1939 said, “Virginia is a remarkable little girl and she twirls a baton with the speed and dexterity of a Big Ten drum major.”

Virginia graduated Hettinger High School then attended Macalaster College, St. Paul, Minn. and graduated from North Dakota State University.

She never outgrew her passion to take part in band performances and did so into her 80s. She also excelled at another talent – being a fantastic and very patient mother of the “Walby Kids”; Sandra, Jeff and Danny.

She always had a wise observation or a great joke at the ready. She was patient,

but nothing bad occurred since those first few blood draws. Students were graded on everything from cutting the pattern evenly to neatly attaching the pieces. Most were very pleased with their finished product.

Peyton Tuhy’s comment on the project, “It was very fun to learn how to sew.

Most people think sewing is lame, but it was very educational to learn how to sew. I don’t think it is lame, if fact, it is actually very fun and once you start, it’s hard to stop.”

This class is currently measuring out the exact amount

kind, generous and funny.

All things we her family will miss so very much. Mom was a painfully loyal fan of the Minnesota Vikings and we’re sure she’ll do what she can to help them win a Super Bowl victory this season.

Virginia also had a number of close friends, wonderful nieces and a great caring staff at Western Horizons. They were with her to the end of her path here on Earth. We all know her strong faith will take her spirit to touch someone else the way she touched our lives.

We will miss you our friend, aunt, grandma and mom. ‘til we meet again, Sweet Virginia…… She was preceded by parents: Lowell and Maree Fitch, sister Jean Shapland and husband of 50 years Lyle Walby.

She is survived by children: son Jeff Walby, daughter Sandra Quick ( Jon) and son Dan Walby (Kate) Grandchildren: Jackson Quick, LeAnna Harrison (Drew), Zoe Walby and Declan Walby and Great grandchildren: Kal and Ava Harrison.

Condolences to the Walby family can be sent through our website at www.evansonjensenfuneralhome.com.

of sugar in grams that is in their favorite drink. Some are quite surprised as to the large amount of sugar that they consume in a short amount of time. We will have a few more fun units in this class before the end of the semester, from balancing a check book to addressing an envelope. Our final project will be a sausage roll pillow case. They will learn all the parts of the sewing machine and the safety that goes along with sewing. In the end, they will end up with a great project that they will have to sleep on before Christmas.

Introduction to Agriculture class is getting revved up to create masterpieces in their woodworking unit.

They are currently creating flashcards for Tool Identification. Each student will pass a safety test on each power tool before being allowed to run that tool. They have chosen a layered woodworking plan for an animal of their choice. Beings this class meets half time; our goal is to have their project completed by Christmas.

Carol Ann Powell was born Nov. 21, 1931 in Hettinger to Earl and Angeline (Ullevg) Powell. She grew up on the family homestead.

Carol was an only child but enjoyed spending her days with her parents and the many animals they had on the family farm. She attended Chandler country school where she rode her horse “Pet” there daily. She attended Hettinger Public High School graduating in 1950. After graduating Carol worked with her dad on the homestead while her mom was recovering at San Haven and until the love of her life Elmer returned from college and they united in marriage

on April 6 1951.

At the young age of 19, Carol and Elmer took over her parents homestead. Carol and Elmer worked side by side for several years before having their son Mark, seven years later they adopted their daughter Nancy. Throughout Carol’s life on the farm she always made sure everyone else’s needs were met before her own. That consisted of getting her hands dirty in the field when needed, making field meals for everyone and always making sure her kids had the best and were taken care of.

In 2000 they retired from the farm and moved into Hettinger. Carol’s time was spent doing what she loved which included being involved in the Hettinger Clothes Closet, quilting club and being active in the Richland Lutheran Church.

Carol’s biggest passion was spending time with her grandkids. She loved doing many activities with them from cooking and baking for them to watching their

ects.

Ag Mechanics class has been stick welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding - SMAW) to their hearts content for the past two weeks. They are trying to get a half inch piece of metal to the thickness of three inches by building a weld on top of a weld in a crisscross pattern. Next week they will begin wire feed welding (Gas Metal Arc Welding- GMAW). Once they feel comfortable with the wire feed technique they will begin a horseshoe project of their choice. A huge THANK YOU to Reggie Robertson from R&N Hide and Furs for donating a significant amount of metal to

the Ag Department. Your generous donation is much appreciated.

Foundations of Agriculture class just finished a Demonstration Unit. Each student demonstrated a different Ag related topic.

There were topics from the purpose of milk replacer to tagging calves and from soil testing to rope making. They all did a great job. Last Friday both the Ag Mechanics class and Foundations to Ag class took a tour south of town on one of the controlled burn plots. The presenter was Dr. Ben Geaumont. He explained the history of burns and the benefits it has on the grasslands.

sporting events where she was their biggest fan. She enjoyed watching them grow into the young adults they have become. Throughout Carol’s life her greatest pride was her husband Elmer, having just celebrated 65 years together.

In May 2015, Carol and Elmer made the difficult decision of moving out of their community/home to Dickinson where their daughter and grandkids live.

Carol Ann is survived by her son Mark (Marsha) Zimmermann, Hettinger; daughter Nancy (Wayne) Yates, Dickinson; grandkids, Dustin (Casey) Yates, Cincinnati, Ohio, Ryan Yates, Lexy Yates (Devon Wandler), Dickinson, Amy

(Greg) Beck, Dickinson, Leandra Smith, Selby, S.D.; great-grandkids, Liam Ridge Yates, Tucker and Cassie Beck and Tripp Smith; brother-in-law, Henry (Minetta) Zimmermann, Hettinger; sister-in-law, Anita ( John) Mansfield, Minneapolis, Minn.; sister-in-law, Lois Zimmermann, Wash.; and numerous cousins and nieces and nephews.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

In my column from last week there was a printing mistake that affected the suggestion I had if NDHSAA had went with eight regions in 9-man football. For the playoffs I suggested the top TWO teams in each region qualify for the playoffs, but it came out in the paper “the top teams”.

The State Cross Country Tournament was conducted on Oct. 22 at Jamestown. In the girls division HettingerScranton finished 39th out of 47 teams. There were 223 runners in the girls division. In the boys division Hettinger-Scranton finished 44th out of 49 teams. There were 265 runners in the boys division.

Hillsboro/Central Valley won the girls division and Bowman County finished second. First place individual winner for the girls was Reagan Baesler, Hillsboro/ Central Valley, with a time of 18:12. New Town won the boys division with Rugby second and Bowman County third. First place individual winner for the boys was Jalen Chase, New Town, with a time of 15:50. Finishers for Hettinger-Scranton and Bowman girls and boys respectfully: Hettinger-Scranton: 45th Sidra Sadowsky 21:21.30 Bowman County: 17 Lacey Feast 20:02.84 25 Natalie Kempenich 20:45.16 26 Alexius Miller 20:45.68 41 Abigail Bartholomay 21:16.96 42 Mikayla Bartholomay 21:17.73 56 Brooke Peterson 21:52.58 90 Jocelyn Kulseth

22:51.70 96 Vanessa Fischer 23:01.18 145 Brenna Wokal 24:56.68 169 Becki Fuchs 25:57.13 Hettinger-Scranton: 138 Cale Schalesky 20:14.64 Bowman County: 13 Alex Madrigal 17:11.59 20 Brian Miller 17:26.15 23 Kamrin Madrigal 17:29.44 24 Andrew Miller 17:35.03 31 Mason Moran 17:59.70 111 Ethan Fischer 19:37.71 122 Camden Wokal 19:46.70 195 Austin Richard 21:36.80 232 Benjamin Knopp 22:36.78 235 Noah Wokal 22:48.46 Some interesting results from the 9-man playoff tournament. Undefeated Shiloh barely got by WyndmereLidgerwood (WL) 46-41.

The Night Hawks defeated WL in the opening game of the regular season for both teams. Divide Co., who knocked the Night Hawks out of this year’s playoffs, was easily eliminated by North Prairie, 62-6. Richardton-Taylor was ousted by Kenmare-Bowbells, 38-8.

That leaves New Salem-Ullin as the lone Region 5 team in the playoffs as they downed TGU 40-12. They will now host St. John on Oct. 29 in the quarterfinals.

The North Dakota High School Activities Association Board of Directors met on Oct. 19 and approved their final NDHSAA Football Plan for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

Division AAA consists of 14 teams with two regions.

The top four teams from each region (8 total teams) will qualify for the AAA state playoffs.

Division AA consists of 10 teams and will feature a statewide schedule. The top six teams in the statewide standings will qualify for the

AA state playoffs. Statewide: Jamestown, Devils Lake, Bismarck St. Mary’s, Fargo Shanley, Watford City, Turtle Mountain, Wahpeton, Grafton, Valley City, Central Cass.

Division A consists of 32 teams with four regions. The top four teams in each region (16 total teams) will qualify for the A state playoffs.

The 9-man division consists of 43 teams with six regions. The top four teams in each region (24 total teams) will qualify for the 9-man state playoffs. Region 5 will be comprised of Bismarck Shiloh Christian, Mott-Regent/New England, Underwood/Turtle Lake-Mercer/ McClusky, New Salem/Glen Ullin, Richardton-Taylor/Hebron, Beach, Grant County/ Carson/Flasher, and Hettinger/Scranton.

I know it is tough to come up with a plan that meets everyone’s approval, but in my opinion this plan could have been better. Only ten teams in Division AA with six making the playoffs, talk about increased travel expenses. I read where Watford City’s average distance from their opponents is 303 miles. And with ten teams no one can have a non-region game with a nine game schedule. I think they easily could have brought up six teams from the 9-man ranks to make it 16 teams with two divisions.

I also feel there are too many teams qualifying for the playoffs in each division. Each division qualifies 50 percent or better of their teams making the playoffs.

Again, creating more travel expense, time away from school and chances of more injuries.

Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - Oct. 27, Varsity Volleyball vs Faith at Hettinger - Oct. 28, Boys Elementary Basketball vs Mott-Regent at Hettinger - Oct. 29, Boys sixth Grade Basketball Tourney at South Heart - Nov. 1, Varsity Volleyball at Bowman Sheldon Christenson is a Hettinger resident and covers Night Hawks sports for the Adams County Record.

Lady Night Hawks sweep RichardtonTaylor

For The Record

The Night Hawk volleyball team had a successful Senior Night as they downed Richardton-Taylor in three sets, 25-9, 25-16 and 25-22 on Oct. 25. The Raiders came into the match with a 1-9 region record and an overall 3-15-1 record.

The Night Hawks came out on fire as they jumped to a quick 7-0 lead behind the serving of Molly Holt and kept building on that lead. Holt also ended up getting the deciding point. They were saving many returns that looked like they could not get to strictly on their desire and hustle. Even though the remaining two sets were closer the Night Hawks continued to be aggressive. At one point in the third set the score stood at 20-20 but the home team put it away after that to complete the sweep. The Raiders hurt themselves in that final set by failing to serve the ball over the net too many times.

The victory kept the Night Hawks in second place with one remaining region game against Bowman at Bowman on Nov. 1. Although Bowman has a 2-7 region record, as they say, you can throw the records out when these two rivals face each other.

Both the Night Hawks “C” squad and the Junior Varsity won their matches by going 2-0 in sets. The “C” squad was victorious by scores of 25-17 and 2510. The JV won by margins of 25-14 and 25-18.

Being recognized at senior night were players Taylor Burwick, Madison Warbis, Skylynne Cummings, Sam Reuther and Brianna Robinson.

Night Hawks compete at State Cross Country

Cale Schalesky

Sidra Sidowsky

By COLE BENZ

Though only two runners ran at the state meet, thanks to the generosity of a few individuals, the whole team of seven went to cheer each other on at the track.

Howe has a young crew of runners, and said if they stick to the running program during the offseason, they can build upon the success of this season.

Howe is very passionate about the sport of cross country, and though some of it stems from her own fondness of the sport, she also truly believes it carries benefits for the athletes outside of the arduous tracks.

“It’s not just because it’s something I like, it’s because I like the fact that everybody gets to compete, everybody gets a chance to shine, everybody gets a chance to give it their all,” she said. “It’s about them and it’s a very supportive sport, character building that they can take with them the rest of their life.”

Record Editor Two runners competed from Hettinger/ Scranton at the North Dakota State Cross Country meet. The meet was held in Jamestown on Saturday, Oct. 22.

The Night Hawks had two runners competing, and they each set personal best times.

Cale Schalesky set a personal best and cut two minutes off his time from last year.

Eighth grader Sidra Sadowsky cut two minutes off her time and placed 48th overall and 10th in her division. Head coach Stephanie Howe said that she can see improvement in Sadowsky’s running, and that she can reach even higher points in the future.

“My view for her is that she can easily go to top 20 if she sticks with the program,” Howe said.
