HETTINGER CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF WAKING UP KRIS KRINGLE

The Friday after Thanksgiving is always marked on the calendars, that’s the day Santa wakes up and the community celebrates. And it all began with just four floats. Started in 1985 with minimal participation, the event caught fire. Now, the celebration has turned into an event that community members from all over the region anxiously await. As the cold weather crept in, a crowd flocked to downtown Hettinger. At 5:30 p.m. the fireworks started over Mirror Lake. And everyone, young and old, stared up at the night sky and gazed at the show, for-

getting that temperatures were in the mid teens. Though temperatures were low, the sky was clear, and everyone had a front row seat to the pyrotechnic display. The fireworks ended and a resounding applause could be heard from blocks away, but the evening had just begun. A loud horn blew, signaling the beginning of the parade. This year’s celebration featured 17 floats from different area businesses, along with some fire trucks from the Hettinger Volunteer Fire Department. Some floats were elaborately decorated with lights, garland and tinsel. While others creatively

and she said that she never expected the event to last three decades. “You never quite imagine that, (that) it would blossom like it has,” Brackel said. In the beginning, it was only a short parade with four businesses building floats. “There was a total of four floats the first year,” Brackel said. “And people liked it and it just started growing from there.” Brackel, who took over the parade portion about five years ago after some time off, said the 17 floats they had is about the

Each child was given a bag of candy, and the chance to sit on old St. Nick’s lap. Parents and adults were treated to warm cider and hot chocolate. The line to see Santa quickly outgrew the building, and some people eagerly waiting had to stand outside as it stretched a short distance down the block.

Brackel said that was added later, but that it has been in the event for nearly 20 years. Santa was also a newer addition, with parade rules tailored to the one and only Kringle. The rules say that floats can not have a live Santa as a part of their presentation. Brackel said it keeps it

special for the kids by seeing the same Santa in the parade as they do at the fire hall. The event has become a regional attraction. And just like the Fourth of July celebration, Wake Up Santa has gained a committed following. Brackel spoke with a couple from New England, and they told her that they have been coming to the event for a decade. This year they brought their kids and grandkids from Dick-

inson. Throughout the 30 years nothing has stopped the celebration, not even snow. Brackel recalled one year there were snow drifts, five feet high, in the middle of Main Street. Unable to find help removing it, they had the parade go up one side of the drift, and down the other, so both sides of the street could see the floats. The Christmas tree on Main Street has only been a part of the event for a

few years. Hettinger had one in the early 60s, and the fond memories triggered the newly-returned tradition that is a big part of the evening. Many businesses donate to the Wake Up Santa festival, while others donate time and money towards the decorations that downtown patrons can appreciate while strolling on Main Street. The Christmas spirit in Hettinger is truly a community event.

West River Vet Clinic gets upgraded imaging machine

By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net Quality of care is always a top priority at a medical establishment. That priority doesn’t change when treating our fury, fourlegged friends. So the staff at West River Veterinary Clinic is always looking for better ways to help serve their patients. Dr. Lisa Henderson helped improve that service of care in September, when she finished training on the new ultrasound machine that was purchased by the clinic in July. After 18 years, she was looking for another way to add another challenge and improve her skills as a vet-

erinarian. So Henderson started investigating the possibility of adding the stand-alone machine. She decided to get some experience on the ultrasound through her required continuing education. Each year doctors of veterinary medicine are required to complete a certain amount of education training classes, and Henderson said that decided to focus on the ultrasound practice. “I’ve always liked (ultra sounding) but never have had a whole lot of time to pursue it,” Henderson said. Henderson said she had some instructions during her initial schooling, but said that there wasn’t a whole lot of hands-on time available.

The new machine is a Hitachi Aloka F37. If at first glance it looks like an ultrasound for people, that’s because it kind of is. Henderson said that the only difference is in the software parameters, and in fact when it comes off the assembly line, it’s set for human examination. Right now the clinic has two types of probes the doctors can use. The difference between the two is the strength at which it can image. Right now the machine is equipped to image small to midsize animals, but depending on the location, it can be used for large livestock as well. The procedure is the same as humans, though most of the time humans get to keep their hair. In order to get a proper picture, the animal has to be cleaned and clipped of its fur. The ultrasound is on wheels so it can be taken from room to room, but it is not considered portable, one feature Henderson was not looking for when researching different machines. The clinic was already in possession of two portable ultrasounds, but usually they were needed out in the country for examining livestock. Now, the new Hitachi will stay put, both in the current clinic and in the new one when it opens this spring. Henderson said she traveled to Orlando, Fla. for her training course. Following that, they purchased the device and a representative came out to Hettinger to give her and the staff further instructions, because mechanisms and button placement can differ from machine to machine. “Every machine is a little different, then you have to learn how to drive it,” Henderson said. The device gives doctors the ability to diagnose ailments or injuries that may not be picked up through a conventional x-ray. “Some of these things that we can’t see an x-ray, I’ve diagnosed with the ultrasound,” Henderson said. The new machine should prove to be a valuable asset

to the clinic and the animals they treat. With a service radius of nearly 100 miles, many trusted pet and animal owners count on the doctors at West River Veterinarian Clinic to treat their companions, and Henderson appreciates that sentiment. “I really feel grateful,” Henderson said. “Our clients have a lot of faith in us, so that’s pretty neat.”

At our age, getting up at night to go to the bathroom is an adventure. Let alone going into the wilderness after a mad bull. The next day, bright and early, about eleven, we loaded up and headed north. Since we didn’t know where the bull was, we decided to take 4-wheelers instead of horses. We could spot the bull, determine if he was worth two dollars, and get him the next trip. Just in case, we took a couple of panels, two catch ropes, a halter, and a dart gun with some medication to put him to sleep. Oh yes, and a bale of hay. I figured we could dart him, halter

gotten wrapped up in a bulberry thicket. It looked like he had been there a few days. And he was mad! Shannon was going to cut him loose, and I said, “Leave him! We’ll get the pickup (Shannon’s pickup) and trailer (Shannon’s trailer). Back up against the bull. And load him.” That sounded simple enough but Shannon was worried about getting the outfit in and out of there. No problem. “You get in the pickup and I will find you a trail. Just follow me.” And he did. He’s not real smart sometimes. We took a thirty thousand dollar pickup and a fifteen thousand dollar trailer over rocks, hills, and trees. We slid down hills that you would have been nervous riding a horse down. But we got to the bull. When I threw that mad bull a chunk of second cutting alfalfa, he decided the

human race was good after all. While he was eating we backed up against him, set our panels up around him, threw a little hay in the trailer, cut the wire, and slapped him on the butt. He climbed into the trailer! Shannon the Coward would not try to go out the same trail I had found him going in. But I found another way out. Oh, I’m not saying it was easy. But I blamed him and his cheap tires for that. We did take down a few small trees. And maybe smudged a little paint on his new trailer. But, we got the bull. We called the owner and wanted a brand release so we could sell this bull after he recovered from his ordeal. He informed us that was just bar talk. He couldn’t give us the bull. But he would buy us a drink! Dang, another deal too good to be true. Later, Dean

holiday, I casually called out â€œwhoâ€™s coming shopping with me tonight?â€? I didnâ€™t think there would be any takers. I figured I would get some eye rolls and â€˜yeah rightâ€™ looks. But to my chagrin my baby sister said she would be up for the adventure. Her answer was loud and enthusiastic as if she was waiting for someone to offer up the chance at some evening shopping. Her boyfriend said he would go too, we set the plan. So at 5 p.m. central standard time, we sucked in our Thanksgiving guts and zipped our coats and headed out. We arrived at about 5:15 p.m. and the store had already garnered a small line. It wasnâ€™t too long, but the barriers they had set

up signaled that they were expecting a whole lot more patrons. By the time the store opened up at 6 p.m. the line was around the side of the building, the end wasnâ€™t visible anymore, and I commented to our small group how we had made the right call in leaving when we did. Each kind of interaction combined to make it an interesting experience, and it started with small conversations in line. We met the people in front of us and behind us. And interestingly enough we all had one thing in common, fantasy football. Those conversations made the time go by as we waited for the gate-keepers to open up the front doors. As Time got closer, a few

employees came out to layout the rules. Yes, there were rules. First, people waiting for the large television sets were given tickets and told to go right to the front where they could pay and pickup the merchandise. Tickets, as if to reserve your spot? This would mean no running and chasing. Whereâ€™s the fun in that? Second, we were told to walk inside and down the first isle, and if anyone was caught running they would be pulled aside by security guards and forced to wait while the other, more civil, customers walked inside. What a punishment, it would literally be like a timeout on the playground while the rest of the kids got the best swing.

The doors opened and we here herded in like regular cattle. I have to say I was surprised at the whole process. Not only did they have rules on running, but shortly after entering the building employees were waiting with free beverages and snacks for everyoneâ€”yet another method to slow down the crowd. These rules seem to have worked, and prevented the all-out melee consistently featured on YouTube and news reports. The stores are crafty. If youâ€™ve never been out for Black Friday, or Thanksgiving evening, youâ€™d be surprised to know that many of the hot items are not in their typical sections. For instance the television setsâ€”the

ones not requiring ticketsâ€”were in the ladies clothing section. It was a cruel trick on those not ready. When It was all said and done I learned two things: You shouldnâ€™t go shopping on Thanksgiving or Black Friday unless you are going for a specific item, and shopping for necessities like soap and paper towels is not ideal. If you donâ€™t have a specific item you end up buying things you donâ€™t need. The big red discount signs are just too hard to look away from. And as far as a casual shopping, try picking out the right soap when youâ€™ve got a dude pushing a cart full of TVs up your backside, kind of uncomfortable.

Thatâ€™s Life By Tony Bender

The thought was fleeting, but Iâ€™ll confess to it. I was at a convention in Las Vegas in January and I thought about looking up one of my heroes. Not Penn. Or Teller. Nor David Copperfield or Elton John. I imagined an interview with former AWA (American Wrestling Association) heavyweight champion Nick Bockwinkel and then I talked myself out of it making the attempt. I knew Bockwinkel was in real estate and president of the Cauliflower Alley Club, a fraternal club for retired wrestlers and boxers. But ill health had forced him to resign months before my visit. I decided to leave the man alone. I left him as I remembered him from those Sunday morning broadcasts from Minneapolis, when wrestling was still a series of regional feudal kingdomsâ€”before it went national and downhill. Bockwinkel was the perfect heel. Bleached hair swept back, fit and arrogant, he didnâ€™t walk so much as strut. He had a vocabulary that sprang from a thesaurus in his head. He would preen for the camera as his manager, the insufferable Bobby â€œThe Brainâ€? Heenan (the smartest man in wrestling) railed against an AWA es-

Most Successful Voluntary Conservation Program

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today reminded farmers and ranchers that the next general enrollment period for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) began, Dec. 1, 2015, and ends on Feb. 26, 2016. December 2015 also marks the 30th anniversary of CRP, a federally funded program that assists agricultural producers with the cost of restoring, enhancing and protecting certain grasses, shrubs and trees to improve water quality, prevent soil erosion and reduce loss of wildlife habitat. As of September 2015, 24.2 million acres were enrolled in CRP. CRP also is protecting more than 170,000 stream miles with riparian forest and grass buffers, enough to go around the world 7

times. For an interactive tour of CRP success stories from across the U.S., visit www.fsa.usda.gov/ CRPis30, or follow on Twitter at #CRPis30. “Over the past 30 years, farmers, ranchers, conservationists, hunters, fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts have made CRP one of the most successful conservation programs in the history of the country,” said Vilsack. “Today, CRP continues to make major environmental improvements to water and air quality. This is another longstanding example of how agricultural production can work hand in hand with efforts to improve the environment and increase wildlife habitat.” Participants in CRP establish long-term, resource-conserving plant

species, such as approved grasses or trees (known as “covers”) to control soil erosion, improve water quality and develop wildlife habitat on marginally productive agricultural lands. In return, FSA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. At times when commodity prices are low, enrolling sensitive lands in CRP can be especially attractive to farmers and ranchers, as it softens the economic hardship for landowners at the same time that it provides ecological benefits. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years. The long-term goal of the program is to re-establish native plant species on marginal agricultural lands for the primary purpose of preventing soil erosion and improving water quality and related benefits of reducing loss of wildlife habitat. Contracts on 1.64 million acres of CRP are set to expire on Sept. 30, 2016. Producers with expiring contracts or producers with environmentally sensitive land are encouraged to evaluate their options under CRP. Since it was established on Dec. 23, 1985, CRP has: • Prevented more than 9 billion tons of soil from eroding, enough soil to fill 600 million dump trucks; • Reduced nitrogen and phosphorous runoff relative to annually tilled

cropland by 95 and 85 percent respectively; • Sequestered an annual average of 49 million tons of greenhouse gases, equal to taking 9 million cars off the road. Since 1996, CRP has created nearly 2.7 million acres of restored wetlands. For more information FSA conservation programs, visit a local FSA office or www.fsa.usda. gov/conservation. To find your local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda.gov. The Conservation Reserve Program was re-authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing, and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

OPINION

Course 500: Parking Between the Yellow Lines

OBITUARIES Phillip D. Munro

By Lloyd Omdahl Universities and colleges have capitulated to online courses after years of insisting that handson physical presence was the only way for teachers to teach and learners to learn. So “Turn Signals 100” went online to teach a remedial course for drivers who hadn’t conquered the challenging responsibility of using turn signals. As for attendance, the course was a success but the percentage of motorists baffled by turn signals has remained the same. This failure disregarded, we will try the online approach again to respond to major retailers begging for a remedial no-credit graduate course for slow learners on parking between yellow lines. Traffic planners found that an unmarked parking lot accommodated 20 to 30 percent fewer cars because vehicles were skewed everywhere without visual guidance. (The figures are subject to verification.) The need for yellow lines first appeared at wellness

centers where patrons insisted on parking right next to the front door. They explained that they were so eager to get on the treadmills that they didn’t want to waste their time walking in parking lots. In this preliminary course, we won’t be able to change behavior with superficial answers. Some of our delinquent parkers may be struggling with serious neurocognitive disorders and are unable to grasp the complexities of squares marked off with yellow lines. Some drivers park crosswise to be belligerent. It isn’t that they are meanspirited but it goes back to their difficulties with potty training. Months of constant failure made them anti-social for life. Then there is the guy with the Macho Rambo Supercharger truck with chrome crash bars across the front, three rifles across the rear window and a Confederate flag on the aerial. His mother told him he was the most important person on earth and he

could do or take anything that pleased his little heart. And he believed her. Some of his kind end up in prison but there are others who spend their lives just taking more than their share at every turn, including two parking spots to let the world know that they are going to take what they deserve. Next are the folks who can’t find glasses strong enough to offset 90 years of reading by candle light. For them, there are no visible yellow lines and automobiles appear as blurry hulks. With the help of relatives and optometrists, they have escaped the driver licensing people, which is easy in North Dakota where retesting will not occur until an innocent pedestrian is killed while standing behind a power pole. The kids won’t let grandma near the kitchen knives at Thanksgiving but think nothing of letting her terrorize everyone on the Interstate.

Finally, there are handicapped parking spots. Most of the vehicles parked in these spots are driven in by sprightly people who do a 100-yard dash into the store, making it fairly obvious that the real handicapped person is not driving or some compassionate doctor got conned into authorizing an undeserved permit. In the final analysis, yellow lines have been helpful in bringing order to a belligerent and disorganized population but they have not done the whole job. Active supervision is required. I hear that Walmart has commissioned a parking drone that soon will hover over the parking lot and bark instructions to those who should be driving horses instead of cars. So expect to hear a loud voice on your next parking adventure. “Get your back end over, Jerk!” “One spot per vehicle, Smarty!” And a few other directives than can’t be printed in a family newspaper.

Munro Phillip D. Munro, 76, of Reeder, ND, passed away on Nov. 21, 2015 at the West River Regional Medical Center in Hettinger. Funeral Services for Phil will be on Saturday, November 28, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. at the Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Reeder.

Munro was born on March 17, 1939 the son of Donald and Bertha (Kenitzer) Munro on the family farm. He was raised on the family farm north of Reeder. Phillip attended grade school at the Whetstone country school north of Reeder and then Het-

tinger High School graduating in 1958. He then joined the Navy in July of 1959 where he served his country for four years until being honorably discharged in 1963. Phillip was united in marriage to Lola Sittner on Feb. 25, 1964 and to this union, six children were born. Phillip worked various ranches and then moved to Hettinger where he worked for Heath Plumbing as a plumber. He and his family then moved to the family farm where he would work out in the oil fields.

Night Hawks and Bulldogs split in girls junior high basketball By Sheldon Christenson For The Record

The Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks split with the Bowman County Bulldogs in girls junior high basketball on Dec. 1. The 7thgraders started the evening and as in many basketball

games at this level, a few points were scored in between numerous traveling calls and turnovers. The Night Hawks were called five times for the 3-second lane violation. They worked that out at half time as they did not make that violation in the second half. Despite the turnovers both teams nev-

er stopped hustling and doing as well as they can. The first quarter ended 2-2 but the second quarter belonged to the Bulldogs as they outscored the Night Hawks 10-2. The Night Hawks got back in the game in the third stanza as they outscored the Bulldogs 4-0. Both teams scored four points in the final quarter with the Bulldogs pulling out a 16-12

win. I enjoyed watching Katrina Poss play as she is one of the shorter players for the Night Hawks, but she is always hustling, playing good defense and not afraid to take the ball to the hoop. The eighth grade game displayed more scoring and fewer turnovers, and had the few fans in attendance cheering in an exciting fourth quarter. Bow-

man looked liked they had the game in hand after the first half as they held a 2013 advantage. The second half was a different story, as the Night Hawks outscored the Bulldogs 8-2 in the third quarter to get to within one point. The final quarter had the most scoring of the game, as the lead went back and forth until Courtney Seelye broke the game open with a 3-point-

er from the right base line with a little more than a minute left. She followed that up by grabbing a loose ball and went the length of the court for a layup. Alyssa Andress added some crucial free throws to help stop the Bulldogs comeback effort. I had Andress with 15 points and Steelye with 12 points. Final scored had the Night Hawks winning 37-32.

Eye on Southwest N.D. Sports By Sheldon Christenson For The Record Some interesting dual wrestling scores from Nov. 24: Bishop Ryan 41 Beulah/ Hazen 24 Beulah/Hazen 60 Harvey 17 Carrington 48 Oakes 21 Beulah-Hazen is in Region 4 and according to the 2015-16 Grappler they are rated No. 2 behind the Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks. Bishop Ryan is only rated No. 3 in Region 3 behind Stanley-Powers Lake-Tioga and Des LacsBurlington. But when I read the Region 3 preview, Minot Ryan is given the nod in finishing first in their region. On paper I would have to agree as they have eight returning state placers and qualifiers. Velva looks to be a contender with nine state placers and qualifiers returning. Carrington is the consensus No. 1 Class B wrestling team in the state. Another interesting note from the Grappler is in the preview of the Bowman Bulldogs. They are predicting Bowman as first in Region 4 and the Nighthawks second. When I say “they” I am assuming it is the Bowman coaching staff doing this prediction. Beulah-Hazen’s coaching staff is predicting Beulah-Hazen first, Watford City second and the Night Hawks third in Region 4. We will have to see how the season turns out. Region 4 has a new member as the New Town Eagles were added. They were formerly in Region 3

and it looks like the North Dakota High School Activities Association was looking at equalizing the regions. Regions 1 and 4 have eight teams and 2 and 3 have nine teams. Quite a contrast with Class B in South Dakota who also have four regions. Their largest contrast is Region 4 with 17 teams and Region 2 has 11. Region 1 has 14 and Region 3 has 15. I talked to Randy Burwick on his wrestling team and he feels he can fill all 14 weight classes. The roster shows 25 names, but there are two injuries. Ethan Anderson broke his leg in football and may not be back for a couple of weeks. Dalton Schafer out of Mott also hurt his knee during football and may not be able to wrestle at all this year. This is his senior year and he was really improving as the year went on last season. But unfortunately he hurt his knee late in the season and did not have a chance to qualify for state. I talked to Kelly Pierce who coaches the girls basketball team and he gave me some insights on the team after the Dickinson scrimmages. His comments; “Scores were not kept, but our scrimmage with Killdeer was very competitive. Trinity was a different animal, but I thought for early in the year it was a great opportunity to see where we are at as a team and areas we must continue to focus on in our practices leading up to our first game with Killdeer in the Roughrider Tourney. Trinity and Killdeer are two of the bigger teams in the region, so it was good to reinforce to the girls how important rebounding will be for us. This early in the year de-

fenses are way ahead of the offense, so it will be interesting to see how we can continue to improve from now until that first game.” My wife and I attended the athletic banquet on Nov. 29 for the fall sports teams and it was an exceptional event. The parents of the seniors were the primary people who put it together and a fine job they did. I had heard they were expecting around 200 to attend but when they had to hurriedly put out more tables and chairs the numbers went up. Not sure on how many were there but it was well attended. I’m unable to provide all of the numerous awards and accomplishments that were handed out but here are a few: Cross Country Fastest Female was Sidra Sadowsky Most Improved male was Hayden Sadowsky Most Improved female was Elizabeth Bartholmy Fastest Male was Carlos Martinez won for the second year Team Leader was McKenna Poss won for the second year Volleyball – Best Service %: Brianna Robinson Most aces: Molly Holt and Kayla Chadwick Kills: Elizabeth Thompson Assists: Taylor Burwick Blocks: Madison Warbis Digs & Passes: Kayla Chadwick Three Night Hawk football players were honored for making the All-State 9-Man football team. Congratulations to senior linebacker Brandon Pierce and senior defensive back Tanner Sanford as they were named to the first-team All-State de-

fense football roster. Also making the second-team roster was lineman senior Colbey Steeke. On the humorous side, Coach Burwick brought up the conversation in the St. John playoff game between Night Hawk Devin Faller and a husky lineman from St. John. St. John player: Do you have an IHOP in this town? Faller: No St. John player: That’s OK, I’m going to make a pancake out of you.

Weekly Vikings Roundup By Jordan Wright For The Record

Just like last week, the Minnesota Vikings faced a team with an explosive offense that was coming off a three game losing streak. Thankfully, the Vikings were able to take care of business this week, beating the Atlanta Falcons 20-10. Running back Adrian Peterson was the star of the offense, carrying the ball 29 times for 158 yards (5.4 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. Peterson also caught the ball twice for 29 yards. His 158 yards on the ground vaulted Peterson to number 19 on the all-time rushing yardage list, passing O.J. Simpson and Corey Dillon. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had a mediocre game, but the plan was to feed Peterson early and often, so he wasn’t asked

to do much. Bridgewater threw only 28 passes, completing 20 of them (71 percent) for 174 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Wide receiver Mike Wallace was held without a catch again, but he did draw multiple pass interference penalties, so he wasn’t a complete waste of space. Tight end Kyle Rudolph had a good game for the second week in a row, leading the Vikings with seven catches for 53 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Anthony Barr was a one man wrecking crew. Barr finished the game with eight tackles, one sack, one pass defended and two forced fumbles. With star safety Harrison Smith out because of injury, Antone Exum Jr. got the start and played well. Andrew Sendejo started in his normal spot, but was injured half way through the game, opening the door for Robert Blanton to see the field, and he didn’t disappoint, leading the Vikings in tackles with nine. The player of the week is the entire Vikings of-

fensive line. I thought about putting Adrian Peterson or Anthony Barr in this section, but they did what we have all come to expect from them. The offensive line, however, really stepped up their game on Sunday. A week after giving up six sacks and 11 quarterback hits to the Green Bay Packers at home, the Vikings escaped Atlanta without giving up a single sack and only three hits to Bridgewater. The line also opened up holes in the run game, allowing the Vikings as a team to rush 39 times for 191 yards and 4.9 yards per carry. I had a hard time coming up with a player who needs the most improvement, as there weren’t many bad things that stuck out to me. However, there was something I noticed that needs to be cleaned up, and that is the run defense. Even though the Falcons only ran the ball 24 times, they were able to tally 116 yards on the ground for a 4.8 yards per carry average. If the Falcons had their starting running back Devonte

Freeman, this could’ve been a much different game. Looking ahead, the Vikings are home to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 6. The Seahawks and the Vikings are two very similar teams, with both teams having a stout defense and a strong running game. At the time of this writing, the Seahawks are 5-5 and entered week 12 ranked 26 in the league in passing yards per game, and first in rushing yards. Their star running back Marshawn Lynch will be out for this game, but his back up Thomas Rawls has produced very well in his place. If the Vikings can control the ball on the ground with Adrian Peterson, as well as contain Russell Wilson and Thomas Rawls, this will be a close game and the Vikings should come out on top.

Game & Fish News

■■ Ice Awareness for Winter Anglers North Dakota continues to produce a record number of anglers, and many are anxious to get on the ice and enjoy a favorite pastime. With that in mind, winter anglers are reminded to consider ice conditions before traveling onto and across North Dakota waters. State Game and Fish Department enforcement chief Robert Timian said this winter should provide plenty of opportunities for anglers, as long as Mother Nature cooperates. “Access to area lakes shouldn’t be an issue with the lack of snow, but that can change in a hurry,” Timian said. “As of right now, it is just a matter of waiting for the ice to become thick enough.” Timian said ice conditions shouldn’t be judged by appearance alone, especially this time of year as ice thickness can vary significantly rather quickly. “The edges become solid before the center, so anglers should drill test holes as they make their way out on the lake,” Timian said. “And then, an ice chisel should be used to check thickness while moving around.” In addition, snow insulates ice, which in turn inhibits solid ice formation, and hides cracks, weak and open water areas. Anglers should avoid cracks, pressure ridges, slushy or dark areas, and areas around partially submerged trees. “All of this signals thinner ice,” Timian said. The following minimums are recommended for travel on clear-blue lake ice formed under ideal conditions. However, Timian said early in winter it’s a good idea to double these figures to be safe: 4 inches for a group walking single file; 6 inches for a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle; 8-12 inches for an automobile; and 12-15 inches for a pickup/truck. “While we can and do provide information to assist in assessing if the ice is reasonably safe, it is still up to the individual to decide when to go out on the ice,” Timian said. Winter anglers should wear a personal flotation device, and carry ice picks or a set of screwdrivers to pull yourself back on the ice if you fall through. If someone breaks through the ice, Timian said 911 should be called immediately, with rescue attempts used by employing a long item such as a pole, board or rope. If that’s not possible, throw the victim a life jacket, empty water jug or other buoyant object. “Going to the victim should be used as a last resort, but only by forming a human chain where rescuers lie on the ice with each person holding the feet of the person in front,” Timian said. To treat hypothermia, Timian said to replace wet clothing with dry clothing and immediately transport the victim to a hospital.

New England hosts game and fish district 8 board meeting By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net The North Dakota Game and Fish Department divides the state into eight advisory districts that follow the state’s judicial districts. District 8 includes the counties of Adams, Billings, Dunn, Golden Valley, Hettinger, Slope and Stark. This year the District 8 Advisory Board fall meeting was held in New England on Tuesday, Dec. 1 in the basement of the Memorial Hall. Wildlife Division Chief Jeb Williams said the meetings allow the department a chance to talk to the people that are out in the field everyday. Williams said they try to hold the fall meeting around the end of November and beginning of December. They try and align the date with the end of deer-gun season, this allows the department to hear how all of the fall hunting seasons went, not exclusively deer hunting. The meeting was broken up into two sections. The first hour was designated for audience participation. The meeting attendees voiced concerns about issues ranging from check points, to hunters carrying animals across state borders, among other topics. One of the big concerns facing the Game and Fish Department, as it relates to hunters, is the decreased deer populations. Williams said this season they saw the lowest number of issued deer tags since 1978. This year they issued 43,275, a vast difference from 149,000 in 2008. Williams said winter weather could be a factor in the decreased deer population. “We had three consecutive winters here in North Dakota in 2009, 2010 and 2011 that were pretty significant,” Williams said. “That definitely drives down the population.” He added that the department recognizes the changes in numbers, with the help of hunters, and they adjust the amount of tags issued accordingly. During the second hour the meeting was designated for presentations by the Game and Fish Department. The department discussed four topics: mountain lion management, aquatic nuisance species, fishing proclamation changes and deer management goals. Williams said that 2005 was the first year the department had a mountain lion season. And now after a decade of monitoring and managing, they will begin holding separate special meetings to discuss those findings with

the public. One subject that Williams said doesn’t get enough attention on this side of the state is aquatic nuisance species. The most popular name among the nuisance species is the zebra mussel. “One of the reasons you don’t hear as much about it (here), is because there isn’t as much,” Williams said. Zebra mussels out compete the native wildlife in a given area, and when found Williams said it turns into a management situation rather than an eradication situation. The zebra mussels are hard and nearly impossible to contain if found because even one microscopic larvae can grow to an infestation. Williams also wanted to mention the effect zebra mussels can have on local water municipalities, a topic he said consistently gets overlooked. “It’s not just a fish and wildlife issue,” Williams said. The mussels can attach to pipes under water and get into the infrastructure of the water systems. The department also discussed potential changes to the North Dakota Fishing Proclamation, a document that’s updated every two years. The potential changes that would go into effect April 1, 2016 include: Opens some/all of Lake Alice, Silver Lake (Benson Co.), Rose Lake and Lake Ardoch Refuges to some seasonal fishing, reduction of the statewide possession limit of bluegill, yellow perch and white

of enhancing the direct observation of fish in the water—underwater cameras excluded. Williams said he enjoys the meetings because it allows the department to get a sense of what the local people have concerns for and what is going on the given region. He also likes the fact that it is a face to face meeting. In today’s world the department has little problem communicating electrically and distributing information out to the local wardens, but being able to get out in the communities can give the department a better sense of what’s going on in the

New Calculator Projects Farm Bill Safety Net for 2015 By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net Operators and lenders are trying to understand what safety net payments might be provided under the 2014 farm bill for the 2015 crop year. A new excel worksheet, “2015 ARC-PLC Calculator,” is available at http://bit.ly/paymentcalculator to project those payments. The 2015 ARC-PLC Calculator will show producers their Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage -- County (ARC-CO) payments under

different 2015 marketing year average (MYA) price and county yield scenarios. “The 2015 MYA price is the one unknown for determining the PLC payment,” says Andrew Swenson, North Dakota State University Extension Service farm and family resource management specialist. “Even at this early date, I believe you can get a fairly good range of possible PLC payments for many crops.” Swenson adds, “Currently, we are five months into the marketing year for wheat and its latest projected national average price is $5. That would provide a 50cent payment per bushel of

PLC payment yield.” Corn and soybean national 2015 MYA prices are less certain because they are only two months into the 2015 marketing year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting a $3.65 per bushel corn and $8.90 per bushel soybean MYA price. At this level, the corn PLC payment would be a nickel per bushel of PLC yield, but the soybean price would have to drop another 50 cents per bushel before a PLC payment is triggered. The benchmark revenue and revenue guarantees for the 2015 ARC-CO program have been determined for

most crops. The actual 2015 MYA price and county yields are not known yet. However, producers should receive significant ARC-CO payments for most crops unless 2015 county yields are much higher than typical yields. Producers cannot receive PLC and ARC-CO payments for the same crop on a farm. They had to make a choice in which program to enroll each crop on the FSA farm number.
