past two years. In addition, people who have not given but have always wanted to, could give $1 or more at the door and gain entrance. It was a gorgeous fall day in the 70s, allowing nearly 200 giving area folk to attend this event at The Granary in Hettinger.

Once registered, they all enjoyed a cheeseburger,

PROMOTING THE DREAM You want to do this WHEN?

IN BRIEF

Second Quarter Taxable Sales & Purchases Down Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger today released the 2016 second quarter taxable sales and purchases report. Taxable sales and purchases were $4.385 billion for April, May and June of 2016, a drop of nearly 26 percent over those months in 2015.

“The decrease in oil activity, coupled with low commodity prices continues to be reflected in the taxable sales and purchases report,” stated Rauschenberger. “North Dakota taxable sales and purchases are still returning to pre-oil boom levels.”

Rauschenberger went on to explain that $4.385 billion is closer to what the normal second quarter taxable sales and purchases was just five years ago.

The second quarter report includes data for the largest 50 cities in North Dakota, and all 53 counties. Of the 50 largest cities in North Dakota, the highest percent increases (compared to the second quarter of 2015) were Beulah, Jamestown, Linton, Cando and Larimore. Counties with the highest percent increases (compared with the second quarter of 2015) were Oliver, McHenry, Mercer, Stustman and Billings.

Two of the 15 major industry sectors reported taxable sales and purchases gains when compared to the second quarter a year ago. The educational, health care and social services sector increased by 13.36 percent (increase of $2.28 million) and the arts, entertainment and recreation sector increased by 3.5 percent (increase of $1 million).

The most notable industry sector decreases were the mining and oil extraction sector with a decrease of 67 percent (decrease of $581.3 million) and the wholesale trade sector with a decrease of nearly 34 percent (decrease of $461.6 million) compared to the same months in 2015.

The complete second quarter 2016 North Dakota Sales and Use Tax Statistical Report can be accessed online at www.nd.gov/tax.

Taxpayers can stay up-to-date on North Dakota tax-related matters by visiting the Office of State Tax Commissioner’s website at www.nd.gov/tax or by connecting on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Some Adams County businesses with Yellowstone Trail names: The Yellowstone Trail Garage, Bucyrus, ND; Odou & Arnold’s Yellowstone Garage, Hettinger, ND, and The Yellowstone Hotel, Hettinger, ND. (Courtesy Photos) Editor’s note: This is the fourth of five articles tracing the emergence of the Yellowstone Trail through Adams County and Hettinger, ND, in an effort to increase awareness of this historical roadway and to focus on the important part that Hettinger and Adams County, ND, played in that effort.

After dreaming of an automobile roadway from Minneapolis, MN, through southwestern North Dakota and on to Yellowstone National Park, and after fulfilling the dream of organizing community-wide Yellowstone Trail Associations (YTA) along the way to create the roadway, and after marking the Trail with various kinds of painted stones or embossed metal or painted signs, the parent association set about promoting the dream of the first transcontinental roadway along the northern states built without Federal funds.

At a time when roads were not marked, when few maps existed and when slippery mud was the usual road surface, the YTA provided a muchneeded travel alternative. They had located a route, had encouraged towns and villages along the way to build roads on that route, and now, were about to produce maps and folders to

guide travelers on that route.

To further stimulate tourist travel, the Association set up tents along busy places on the Trail to distribute materials and provide weather conditions.

Where possible, they encouraged travelers to telephone the Association ahead of time to learn what roads were most passable.

A list of garages, cafes and hotels along the route also came in handy for travelers. Some of those in our area were the Yellowstone Trail Garage, Lemmon, SD; the Trail Garage & Cafe, Haynes, ND; Yellowstone Hotel, Hettinger, ND; Odou & Arnold’s Yellowstone Garage, Hettinger, ND; the Yellowstone Trail Garage, Bucyrus, ND. Local store owners who did not formally name their businesses after the Yellowstone Trail, often included phrases in their advertisements such as “Special Attention Given to Tourist Trade” (Lemmon Auto Co); or “Tourist Work Especially Solicited” (Beaton Bros Gas Welding and Auto Repairing, Lemmon, SD); and Baker, MT’s, Heinrich & Co Tourist Supplies, whose ad stated: “We cater to Yellowstone Trail Tourists.”

Through believing in a dream,

through carefully planning and organizing from 1912-1914, the move was on.

The roadbed was built. The roadway was marked. Travel on the Trail was promoted and the Trail was enjoyed by locals and by travelers from miles away in either direction. Never again would travel across the far southwest corner of North Dakota be the same.

From 1914 to 1929, the YTA continued to hold regional and state meetings of the Association across areas included in the Trail. Then, in 1929, the stock market crashed. After the economic depression that followed, worsened by severe and extensive drought conditions, local merchants found it impossible to pay YTA dues. Area citizens, focused on survival, could no longer work on or maintain the road and the Yellowstone Trail Association, as first organized, ceased to exist.

Today, this roadway that opened the northern states to the rest of the nation encouraging transcontinental travel from coast to coast, exists as US Highway 12. The former Yellowstone Trail Association has been rejuvenated by John and Alice Ridge of Altoona, WI, Yellowstone Trail Publishers, and dedicated volunteers.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Scranton FFA competes at District 8 Leadership Conference

By ABBI STEEKE

Scranton FFA Reporter The Scranton FFA worked and prepared for weeks for the District 8 Leadership Conference, which was held in Dickinson on Wednesday, Sept. 28. The chapter sent 25 members to the Conference to compete in all the areas of competition.

To start us off, Quinn Mellmer competed in the FFA Creed contest and received gold and second place and will represent Scranton at state convention in June.

Quinn also competed in the Greenhand quiz, along with Sam Oase, Connor Dilse, Brady Dillon, Warrick Dilse, Casitee Miller, Brooke Swann, Zoie Johns, Jaren Anderson, Quentin Schumacher, Andrew Valloff, Abi Sulzman, Kaitlyn Bartholmy, and Zach Lenox. Sam and Abi tied for high individual.

The Scranton Greenhand Quiz team was first place and received a Gold award.

The greenhand quiz team showed their expert knowledge of the FFA organization. Answering question such as “Who is the father of FFA?”, “Who wrote the FFA Creed?” and What movies

family and home countries for this experience.

“We are young, we must see the world,” Evers said.

Evers is hoping to improve his English, and grow as a person with this experience.

Naumenko is hoping that she can bring her experiences in the United States back to her home in the Ukraine, and influence some change.

“For me, the main goal of this program is to become stronger,” Naumenko said.

“I think people should do something to improve their community, if [you] don’t like something, you should change it.”

Evers is also hoping to tell his friends and family in Germany what America is really like, because most people feel big cities like New York and Chicago represent all of the United States, when in fact the country is filled with smaller communities, such as the Hettinger area.

Though both hope to gain knowledge and experience while here, they both hope to give their peers some knowledge and experience about where they come from.

“I really love to tell everybody [about Ukraine],” Naumenko said. “And I think I have never been so proud of my country, I’m proud now when I’m telling [about] it.”

Evers said he gets a lot of questions about Germany during Hitler’s reign, and he enjoys answering them because he likes talking about how Germany is today.

“I like to talk about this, because I see a lot of [peo-

winners, whos who in FFA state and nationally.

Abbi Steeke participated in the Memorized Public Speaking event; she received a silver award. Taylor Hestekin participated in the Extemporaneous Public Speaking event, receiving silver.

Jordan Dilse took part in the Job Interview competition receiving a silver. Abbi Steeke demonstrated how to fill an AI gun in the “Demonstration” event and received a silver.

Finally, we have the leaders of the Scranton FFA chapter, which would be the officer team, competing in the Parli Pro event.

ple] who don’t know much about Hitler and what was German and what is German today,” Evers said. “I think it’s really cool to explain it.”

Both Naumenko and Evers have jumped right in to the American high school experience. Naumenko is

participating in volleyball, FFA, and FBLA. Evers is a member of the football team and will join the wrestling squad in the winter.

“I’m really excited about this, because I [have] never tried wrestling,” Christoph said.

The Scranton FFA officer team consisted of president Jordan Silse, vice president Calli Anderson, secretary Taylor Hestekin, treasurer Jaxon Mellmer, reporter Abbi Steeke, sentinel Briana Sanford, parliamentarian Brady Dillon and student advisor Molly Holt.

They worked very hard and earned a silver team award and got fourth in the district.

The Greenhand Parli Pro event consisted of president Brady Dillon, vice president Quinn Mellmer, secretary Warrick Dilse, treasurer Kaitlyn Bartholmy, reporter Andrew Valloff, sentinel Abi Sulzman, student advisor Connor Dilse and member Zach Lenox. The greenhand parli pro team learned the basics of running an effective meeting and presented their abilities at district leadership and received a silver award.

Everyone worked very hard. We did an excellent job of representing our chapter, the FFA association, and the town of Scranton. Congratulations and a job well done to everyone!!

Look what she started.

Now, you’ve got a whole bunch of people saying I am inept. Nonsense. My ept levels are sky-high. I am oozing eptness. Here’s a note from my doctor. He’ll tell you I won the debate without even trying. With a broken microphone. I am so tired of winning, I may not even show up for the next debate.

Point is, facts are overrated. You just gotta look good.

Presidential. The way you look sends a message. Like the way I wear my ties extra long to point at my crotch.

That tells people I have big hands. That I’m going to make America’s genitals great again. My testosterone levels are phenomenal. I get wood when the wind blows.

Ask around.

But don’t ask that fat

Venezuelan chick. Why does everyone have to keep talking about that porker? That’s the problem with the media.

They can never let anything go. Day after day, all I hear about Miss Tubby. Enough already. The girl’s fat. Don’t rub it in.

I’ll tell you what—I’ll release my tax returns when Miss Housekeeping loses 60 pounds. Too bad she’s not hot like my daughter, Ivanka. If I had a daughter that fat, I would call her Tonka.

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.

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.

Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON

We’ve been having some beautiful summer weather, even though it is officially fall. No frost yet, and we’re getting a nice rain as I’m writing this on Monday.

There was almost a half inch in the rain gauge when Reub came home at noon.

Tuesday Casey and Taz went up to help Jeremy Stadheim ship his lambs.

When they finished Taz went on to Hettinger to help Sage with his building project.

Wednesday morning Casey and Taz and most of our neighbors went to the Hackamore to help Doug and Clint Doll sort pairs. I thought about running over there for a while to see how Clint and Kelli’s new house is coming along, but it was such a beautiful day that I washed windows and laundry instead. Most of us went in to Woody’s Feed supper at the Lions Civic Center in Buffalo that evening. We had an EMT training meeting that evening, so I stuck around for that.

Kay Latham filled in e- for Annette Slaba at the eforemeeting because Ron and Annette were in Bismarck rina meeting their first grandich child. Their daughter Kristi Jim and Mitch Wachendorf are the proud parents of a baby rav- girl. Avery Ann was born y. Sept. 28, weighing in at 7lb 6oz. and is 21 inches long. r Congratulations to the new parents and to the new t- grandma and grandpa! pper It was so late when I got d home after the EMT traine of ing Wednesday night that I didn’t lock the chickens up.

seven laying hens were gone on Thursday. All the old hens that survived are two Leghorns and one Rhode Island Red hen. Thankfully seven of the young pullets are still alive, but if this keeps up I’ll soon be buying eggs. Taz thinks it’s a fox that got these hens because so many disappeared at once. Casey shot another coyote this week and maybe he’ll be able to decrease the fox population soon.

Reub had his appointment with Mary Eggebo in Hettinger Thursday and we took our granddaughter Irelyn’s birthday present up to her.

We missed Irelyn’s second birthday was last week because the Stockgrowers convention in Rapid City was the same day, so we took Irelyn, Ellarie, Acalia and Sage out for ice cream to celebrate. Alaina was still at work so she couldn’t join us, but the rest of us had fun.

Mac and Terisa Thompson’s son Brady’s third birthday was Saturday, Oct. 1 and that same day he was flown from the hospital in Sioux Falls to Ann Arbor, Mich. suffering from severe heart problems following his heart surgery earlier. Doctors found two clots in Brady’s heart and they put him on heparin because another surgery would be too risky.

This sweet little guy really needs our prayers.

Please keep Joni (Helms) Gonzolez’s baby in your prayers too. Little Isaiah Gonzolez is in the hospital with a very serious illness.

He’s only a couple weeks old and this isn’t the first time he’s been hospitalized.

Friday night we all went to Bison to watch the Harding County Ranchers and the Bison Cardinals play football at Bison’s Homecoming. It was a hard-fought game, especially in the first quarter, but Harding County finally won 42 to 14. I went to school in Bison and have relatives on both teams, so this game is always exciting

for me.

Sadly, there are three deaths to report this week.

Jared Lewton, age 45, was killed in a truck wreck near Gladstone, N.D. on Wednesday. His funeral was in Hettinger Monday with burial at a later date.

Esther Muth, age 96, passed away Thursday at the Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger. Esther’s services will also be held later.

Marilyn Brockel, age 81 of McIntosh, passed away on Sunday evening at Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger. We haven’t heard when Marilyn’s funeral will be.

Please keep these families in your prayers.

Saturday was Men’s Day at the Rainbow Bible Ranch

and several men from this area spent a very enjoyable day down there. Reub rode down with Lester Longwood. Michael Brandt, Harold Delbridge, Earl Maier, and Dale Bartscher, Executive Director of the Family Heritage Alliance, were the speakers; Jim Hunt was the MC; and John Kaiser, Les Lensegrav, Bart Carmichael, and Andy and Cole Elshere provided the musical entertainment. Oh, and Reub said the guys were very well fed!

The Coffee House in Buffalo held their annual fund raiser at the Lions Civic Center Sunday evening.

There was some really good entertainment provided by local talent. Ventriloquist Linda Mohagen did a couple of puppet skits and Slim Buttes Lutheran had a skit.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting really tired of hearing all the political presidential candidates speak. Although I will definitely vote, I can’t stand to listen to any of the four people currently running for the Oval Office.

I don’t remember who sent me this joke, but these answers to “why did the chicken cross the road?” certainly fit this election year: DONALD TRUMP: We will build a big wall to keep illegal chickens from crossing the road. We will have a door for legal chickens.

“Oh Lord! I’ve been eft praying like never before,” , Gerda Erfald announced as she stumbled into a special and meeting of the Community Homeland Security Comell mittee gathering in the eve- historic Bohemian hall.

“Have you been prayn ing about the presidential nd campaign?” queried Holger m- Danske as he muscled into ob the seat between Einar Toreled vald and Dorsey Crank.

“No, that is beyond up prayer,” she replied. “I am lein just asking the Lord to give o me gas money to Canada.” um- “Don’t fret. The good rn- book says that the Lord picks presidents,” taunted Orville Jordan. He blamed om- God for letting the Soo Line d the close the depot and force him into early retirement 20 years ago.

“Don’t lay this election on God,” she shot back. “This must be the Devil’s doing.

Three hundred million people and we end up with two turkeys. We could have done better with a random choice of the Bismarck phone book.”

Little Jimmy said he hung on to the slim hope that Hillary and Donald would come armed to the next debate, end up in a duel , fatally shoot each other and then voters would choose

between Pence and Kaine.

“I heard over in the Empty Drum Bar, Grill & Convenience Store that Manitoba was building a wall along the North Dakota border to keep the undesirables out and they’re going to make North Dakota pay for it,” Dorsey reported.

“How are they going to decide who the undesirables are?” asked Orville.

“I spose they will have a big candling machine to detect the bad eggs,” offered Old Sievert who spent much of his childhood in the kitchen doing exactly that.

“Well, there’s a lot of Canada. If Manitoba has a wall, I’ll cross the border at Saskatchewan,” Gerda strategized. “I doubt they’ll be running the candling machine at Fortuna at midnight.”

“Well, I’m not votin’ this time,” Old Sievert declared.

“I don’t want to face St. Peter knowing that I was guilty of conspiracy by electing either one of these losers.”

“This election will mostly be decided by whose likely supporters stay home the most,” Little Jimmy deduced. That had a few electors scratching their heads.

“Look at the bright side,” Chief Alert Officer Garvey Erfald noted. “If either one of ‘em gets elected, the country is going to need experienced security people.

That’s us. ” “With the election only days away,” he continued.

“I’ve already got the red alert flag flying on Streetlight No.1 and I have five more ready for the rest of the street lights if needed.”

“There was a time when

all we had to fear was fear itself,” Holger recollected.

“Now we have to fear presidential candidates besides.”

“This will be a year that will go down in infamy,” Little Jimmy added dramatically. He was now enrolled in history as his eighth online major since his folks joined the Klondike gold rush.

“Maybe the best choice is Hilliary,” Gerda suggested. ” Of the two, she should have a good hand of cards on foreign policy” “She may have the cards but she plays them backwards,” Old Sievert grumbled. “Maybe she won’t even play the cards she’s dealt.”

“But Donald would probably order the Arizona National Guard to fight Mexico if they don’t pay for his wall,” countered Holger.

“We’re in a sorry state,” Old Sievert sighed. “The most awful presidential candidates in history, the Twins’ worst baseball season ever and Kelly’s goat ate my carrots. This year sure makes dying look attractive.”

Chairperson Ork Dorken finally broke his silence.

“Let’s go sit in sackcloth and ashes on cemetery hill and pray that the least worst wins.”

So they did. It was one last desperate act.

By DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist

Hello, Have you ever had one of those “What the h…?” moments? You know. The one where you see or read something that utterly knocks your socks off.

I had one this past weekend.

It was a beautiful weekend. One of the best October weekends I can remember. Light or no winds.

Comfortable temperature.

Shirley was mowing the lawn and pulling weeds. She is real good that way. I was listening to the horses eat grain. I’m good at that. We all have our talents.

Then the phone starts to ring. Facebook people from Dunn County were calling.

My picture was on the Dunn County Sheriffs Facebook page.

Really! It seems I was involved in a car theft in Dickinson and had been apprehended in Dunn County!

Well, not just me. I was part of a couple.

For some reason, I’m blaming Putin, my picture appeared over a headline that read “Couple arrested after driving car reported stolen”! And all the callers knew Shirley wouldn’t have been involved. That’s what they said. They knew Shirley wouldn’t have been involved. That hurt. That really hurt.

So Shirley called a county

commissioner. She called the sheriff. She called the states attorney. The states attorney asked if there was a warrant out for my arrest!

You can kind of see how Facebook is dumbing the world down.

But, because of Shirley’s fast action (and Irish temperament) the post was removed. Before any bounty hunters attempted to take me in.

That got me to thinking.

Which again, Shirley has warned me against. What run ins have I had with law enforcement? There was that time in the sixties when I was on the Rajah bus from NDSU to a football game in South Dakota. But that was a long time ago in a country far, far away.

And there was that time I left the grocery store early in the morning and didn’t have my headlights on. And a speeding ticket in Adams County. For like 68 in a 65.

That was it. Pretty clean record don’t you think?

Then I remembered Reno.

You know Reno, Nevada.

I was apprehended for holding up a liquor store. I’d better explain.

Shirley and I and two other couples were attending a cattlemen’s convention in Reno. We had just gone out to supper about a mile from our hotel. For some reason, still a mystery to me, I had to buy supper.

When we left to head back to our motel, we couldn’t all fit in one cab. So, I offered to walk. After a fine steak supper, I knew I would enjoy the walk on a nice evening. I had my good felt hat on and a sport coat.

About a half mile from the hotel, a police car goes by, turns his lights on and flips INSIDE: HOLIDAY CAROLING IN HETTINGER

a u-turn and comes back to me. Two officers jump out, guns drawn and tell me to get my hands up! Boy, they don’t get any argument or sass from me. I’m one scared cowboy!

In less than a minute I am surrounded by squad cars.

A guy wearing a gray cowboy hat had just robbed a liquor store near there. Now remember the cattlemen’s convention is going on.

There are 4000 guys wearing gray hats.

I explain that I had just come from supper. I even had the credit card receipt (that still upsets me) showing what time I left supper.

Turns out the time was just perfect for me to leave supper, rob a liquor store, and get to the point I was.

Thankfully, just before they decided to take me in for torture and further questioning, they received a call that the real culprit had been apprehended.

I wanted a ride to the hotel, but they declined even that bit of apology. Be safe out there!

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

WRHS

FROM PAGE 1

Connick Jr. piano music filling The Granary, the mood was set for an enjoyable evening. Jim Goplin, Director of the Adams County Economic Development Corporation, and Mark Resner, Vice President of the WRHS Foundation Board of Directors, did all of the grilling for everyone; as Sheri Uecker, Chuck Christman, Al McIntyre, Barb Stadheim, and Cody Jorgensen helped serve up all of the awesome sides and refreshments.

Once supper was completed, the Foundation’s Director Ted Uecker welcomed everyone to the banquet, thanking them for their amazing support over the past two years.

He led them through a power point presentation of exactly where their $1,013,578 donated dollars have gone over the past two years. But, for starters, he gave a brief history of the organization, all the way back to Jan. 4, 1950 when Community Memorial Hospital began. At that time, there were three physicians, 14 employees and 28 hospital beds. Then came the building of the satellite clinics in the 1960s, with six of them still in operation today in New England, Mott, Bowman, Scranton, Dickinson and Lemmon, S.D. Of course, today, West River and Western Horizons employs over 340, including 16 physicians, 10 mid-level practitioners, nine visiting specialists and over 100 hospital and living center beds! What an amazing growth of a healthcare system over 66 years! Some have even called West River “the Little Mayo on the Prairie!”

A brief history of the WRHS Foundation was also provided for the attendees – incorporated in 1984 as a 501 (C) 3 charitable organization, licensed by the state of

Bilboard advertisments were hung at the Granary for the community appreciation dinner hosted by the West River Health Services Foundation. (Courtesy Photo) North Dakota and led by a volunteer board of directors from area towns.

The Foundation goals two years ago were to start rebuilding the organization “from within” with our own employees, then forming “Partnerships for the Future” with area families, businesses and organizations. And lastly, right from the beginning, the goal was to raise $500,000 for the new $3 million MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition.

Although the “MRI” ($681,064) and “One Room..”($153,015) Campaigns accounted for over 82 percent of the over $1 million funds raised, there were also quite a few other areas that received gifts.

Yes, it was revealed on this night, that the “One Room..” Campaign surpassed its $145,500 goal to renovate 42 resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center. All of the new flooring is in place, 90 percent of the painting is completed and the new lights, sinks, toilets, shelves, curtains and bedspreads are on their way!

It was also presented that $62,723 has went toward 19 various smaller equipment purchases through our “Partners In

Health” membership program -- including $9,977 for a new handheld ultrasound; $8,800 for new lobby furniture in our Lemmon Clinic; $7,000 for new nursing software; $5,000 toward two new vital signs machines at our Hettinger Clinic and Surgery Center; $4,500 for a new sit to stand lift at our Care Center; $4,399 for new automatic doors at our Assisted Living Center; and there’s more.

Our “Endowment Fund” has brought in $54,440, which has been safely invested. This fund allows us to utilize the interest earnings from the total principal to improve our equipment and facilities.

Although our interest earned this year was not a significant amount, we are building this fund for the long term. North Dakota offers a 40 percent tax credit for gifts of $5,000 or more to this fund (and who knows, with the state making so many budget cutbacks, how long this amazing state tax credit will be available?). The “Mott Clinic Matching Challenge Campaign,” spearheaded by a guaranteed anonymous $5,000 matching gift, if we could raise $7,500; went off

the charts and brought in $34,083! We’ve already begun making improvements to our Mott Clinic’s patient exam rooms, bathroom, hallways and front door. The “Scholarship Program” at West River has given out $28,000 via 37 scholarships to 29 students from eleven area towns. Hopefully we can convince some of these individuals pursuing medical careers to return to West River and join us.

The “Fun Run & Walk” has been a staple at West River for 28 straight years!

Over the past two, it has raised $9,520; which historically has been kept within the organization to improve health and wellness activities, mainly at our Rehabilitation Center, but also at our Care Center, Assisted Living Center and other in-house projects. However, the past two years, almost 40 percent of the net profits have been given back to the community through the Hettinger Food Backpack Program, The Granary, and local softball, baseball and swimming programs.

We plan to continue this embracing of our area

communities’ health and wellness through our 29th Annual Fun Run & Walk next July 4th.

Of course, the following Foundation sponsored or attended events, with the participation of our service area citizens, has also helped us raise these over $1 million in funds -- “Adult Proms”, “Foundation Nation Golf Scrambles,” “Ambulance Appreciation Program,” “Auxiliary Turkey Luncheon,” “Burgers & Brats Event,” “Lemmon and Hettinger Farm & Home Shows.” Uecker covered most all of the events held through the Foundation over the last two years, thanking the constituents for their amazing gifts along the way.

Following the power point presentation, a short work-in-progress video, developed by Laboratory employee Orby Reyes, was presented to the crowd.

The video was developed through Orby’s amazing use of his drone, with magnificent aerial views of West River Health Services, Western Horizons Care Center, the new Thunder Spirit Wind Farm and

Mirror Lake. The crowd gave Orby a huge ovation for his outstanding use of technology and love of his new home - Hettinger.

Thereafter, new WRHS CEO Matt Shahan thanked the community for their unending support of the organization. He also stated that he is committed to the future independence of West River Health Services.

Special thank you’s to all of the attendees of this banquet. Because of you and nearly 700 total contributors, we are making positive improvements to West River Health Services and Western Horizons Living Centers. Also, thanks to Loren Luckow, manager of The Granary; Jim Goplin with ACDC and Mark Resner for their tremendous grilling; Sheri Uecker, Chuck Christman, Al McIntyre, Barb Stadheim and Cody Jorgensen for serving the food; Pepsi Cola and especially Ron Dragoo for historically supporting the Foundation and donating the pop and water; Mike Larson, Kevin Pagel and Charlie Ahman for posting all of the banners on the ceiling (and then taking them down as well!); Mike Jorda at Dakota Frontier Cooperative for use of their lift; Erin Timm and Cindy Hamm for amazing assistance with the power point presentation; Stephanie Woodley for generation of donor list; and Kim Schalesky and Laura McWilliams for registering all of our guests.

By the way, we raised another $2,526 on this night – more giving for the good health of our community. Thank you. Until next time, let’s not take this amazing “healthcare close to home” for granted.

With your continued help, we can remain independent and move forward with new improvements to our services.

Join our thriving community.

surgery in providing surgical care to the entire state.”

Current projections have a shortfall of 25,000 surgeons within the next decade, something this program is hoping to curtail.

“The shortage is huge,” Aaland said. “We’re trying to be proactive, we’re trying to educate surgical residents so that they have an interest in staying locally, and it’s a winwin for everybody.”

Aaland said West River Health Services was the first to sign up for the program, and Aaland has been visiting Hettinger ever since.

West River also has satellite locations in Bowman, Mott, New England, Scranton, Lemmon, S.D., and a foot and ankle clinic in Dickinson.

The services offered depend on the infrastructure of the specific healthcare system.

“We try to tailor-make the program to meet the needs of the community, and then it will build from there,” Aaland said. “My goal for Hettinger…we’re trying to get them a full-time surgeon,” The problem for rural healthcare facilities—aside from retiring doctors—in recruiting medical staff is the prospect of being the only

File Photo

doctor, and lacking available days off. So this program can prevent a permanent surgeon from being overworked.

Currently the state has eight stable programs, and Aaland told the Record that she would like to see that number grow to 15. “I think we can make that work,” she said.

Currently 65 percent of surgery is done as an outpatient—same-day surgery— because of today’s modern technology, which is one of the reasons this program has been so successful.

Aaland spends one week at each of her locations, so that patients can have some consistency while trying to build programs at each of these facilities.

“I don’t want to just come in and do surgery and leave, I don’t think that’s a healthy model for surgical practice,”

she said.

The week-long commitment allows the surgeon to become a part of the program, and that’s what Aaland is pitching when she is recruiting others to the program.

“The goal is to have consistent, effective, safe surgery, locally,” Aaland said.

Rural medicine is in Aaland’s heritage. Her greatgrandmother Eli Thinglestead started the hospital in Northwood, N.D. in 1905, and still stands today as the oldest nursing home in existence in the Dakota territory.

Aaland said in jest that she has two hobbies, working and going home to her house in Fargo. Her house has been featured on HGTV’s House Hunters during a three-episode arc, the first time one property had been featured in multiple episodes, Aaland said.

Night Hawks rally to down Mott-Regent

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record Reminiscent of a high scoring football game be-

tween the Hettinger Black Devils and the RichardtonTaylor Raiders back in October 2005, the HettingerScranton Night Hawks defeated the Mott-Regent

Wildfire 66-50 on Friday, Sept. 30. In that October 2005 game there was a total of 100 points scored and over 1,000 yards of offense with RT coming out on top

54-46.

The game opened up like the making of a 100-point game, as at the end of the first quarter the Wildfire were up 22-12. Mott-Regent had scored first, and on all three of their possessions, and the Night Hawks on their only two. Isaiah Kludt had a dazzling run on Hettinger/Scranton’s second touchdown. He grabbed a short pass from quarterback Jaxon Mellmer on the sideline and seemed to be caught but somehow escaped and headed for the other side of the field and then down the sideline for the score.

The second quarter continued the trading of touchdowns as Hettinger/Scranton opened with their third touchdown on a Damon Cornelius 35-yard run. The Wildfire returned the favor on a Josh Wallace 28-yard scoring run.

It looked like Hettinger/ Scranton was going to respond with another score when Kludt had a big gainer and was finally tackled inside the Night Hawks 20-yard line. But the first significant penalty of the night brought the run back on a holding call. Mott-Regent would later score when their quarterback Brady Wegh found Hunter Crist for a 2-yard touchdown pass as the first half clock expired. MottRegent held a 36-18 lead at half time.

The second half opened up with the Night Hawks scoring on their first possession as Cornelius scored from two yards out. Hettinger/ Scranton then recovered an on-side kick and Kludt would later score from 42 yards out.

On the ensuing possession by the Wildfire, the Night Hawks recorded their first stop of Mott-Regent’s offense, and then proceeded to score on Hudson Pierce’s 19-yard run. Before the third quarter would end, the Wildfire would score twice on a Wegh touchdown pass to Aaron Roth and a 2-yard run by Wegh. Sandwiched between those two MottRegent touchdowns was a 45-yard scoring run by Hettinger/Scranton’s Pierce. At the end of the third quarter

There were a couple of injuries as Night Hawk lineman Nevan Weaver left the game in the second half with a knee injury, and MottRegent’s Josh Wallace didn’t play much in the second half with an injury.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

This Friday’s football game with New SalemGlen Ullin is as important as it gets at this point for the Night Hawks’ season.

They could finish as high as first in the region with a win, and either second or third with a loss. If they lose, and RichardtonTaylor-Hebron (R-T-H) defeats Grant County, R-T-H would place second and the Night Hawks third

due to R-T-H defeating the Night Hawks earlier in the season.

R-T-H should be favored over Grant County, but they are playing at Grant County. If the Night Hawks finished first or second, they would get a first round bye. If they should finish third they would host a first round game with the third place team in Region 6 on Oct. 15. That team will be determined this Friday also, as it could be Mohall, Kenmare or Divide County.

New Salem’s only loss this year was to Shiloh in their first game of the year by a score of 40-20. Shiloh was rated No. 2 in the 9-man poll as of Sept. 28 and are undefeated.

It is only preliminary for now, but Shiloh could be moving to Region 5 along

with Underwood/Turtle Lake-Mercer/McClusky for the 2017-18 seasons.

Bowman of course moves out of the region due to being placed back into Division A 11-man. Region 5 would then have eight teams and the other five regions would each have seven. Killdeer did opt up to Division A of 11-man. At one point Shiloh was going to be in Division A also.

The Night Hawk volleyball has a big contest with Trinity this coming Monday, Oct. 10, at Trinity.

The Night Hawk “C” squad volleyball team finished third in a tournament held in Hettinger on Oct. 1.

Bowman County is still in the top five in the latest cross country poll (as of Sept. 28) for Class B Boys: 1, New Town. 2,

Hillsboro-Central Valley. 3, Rugby. 4, Bowman County.

5, Hatton-NorthwoodThompson. Other receiving votes: Beulah-Hazen.

Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - Oct. 7, Varsity Football at New Salem - Oct. 8, Cross Country at Beulah - Oct. 8, JV Volleyball Tourney at Hazen - Oct. 10, Cross Country at Killdeer - Oct. 10, JH Football at Bowman - Oct. 10, JH Volleyball at Lemmon - Oct. 10, Varsity Volley-

Night Hawks can’t get by New England

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record

Region 7 Volleyball Standings

After an important win over Hazen in three sets on Sept. 27, the Night Hawks traveled two days later to New England and were defeated in three sets. New England came into the match with a 4-1 region record with their only region loss being to Heart River early in the season. The loss was the first region loss for the Night Hawks.

It wasn’t that the Night Hawks were off their game in the first two sets, but the lady Tigers were playing exceptionally well. The Tigers won the first set 25-19 and the second set was a barn burner with New England coming out on top 27-25. New England was doing a great job in making tough returns to Night Hawk shots all night and it looked like frustration was setting in on the Night Hawks as they lost the final set 25-11. The number of digs by the Tigers top four players totaled 61. New England’s 5-foot-11 “Twin Towers”,

Doctor with area ties Donations keep coming for Paula Ja’e wins humanitarian award Contributions for a car for Paula Ja’e have now reached $5,265 !! Since that is above the $4,500 already sent, we are trying a bank to bank transfer, hoping that it will arrive safely. The bank here will not be able to track the transfer so we asked Paula to check on Monday to see if it arrived. She replied that Monday is a national holiday in Nigeria, so she will check on Tuesday. This additional funding helps a great deal since so much is lost in exchanging the money from Dollars into Nigerian Naira.

The actual amount delivered on the $4,500 was the equivalent of about $3,700 based on the official rate. Paula continues to express deep appreciation for all the help she is getting.
