Veterans Services available for local veterans FRANK TURNER

houghtful gestures for veterans may come in many forms. For some, these gestures may include giving a free Veterans Day meal or hosting an event honoring fallen soldiers. However for many, supporting and providing benefits for veterans throughout the year is just as important as the small gestures when recognizing veterans’ sacrifices. For almost three years, Veterans Services Officer Michael Carroll has worked to provide both logistical and financial services for other veterans. Carroll said that it was his own experiences from the Vietnam War that convinced him to take the Veterans Services Officer position. “When we were flying home, they told us to change out of our uniforms as soon as we could so people wouldn’t spit on us – and we were coming back from a war zone,” said Carroll. “That’s changed since then and people thank Vietnam veterans for their service now, but it affected me. Now I just want to help any veteran I can.” As a Veterans Service Officer, Carroll helps veterans navigate the Veterans Administration (VA) system for “the benefits they deserve.” Currently, Carroll said that he serves SERVICES » PAGE 2

Hettinger businesses honor Veterans Day FRANK TURNER

acrnews@countrymedia.net

n November 11, 1918 at the eleventh hour, an armistice with Germany was signed. After four years of bloodshed, soldiers laid down their arms, ending the First World War. The top headline from the 1918 Nov. 14 ed. of the Adams County Record read, “President Wilson Proclaims Victory of Democracy.” On that fateful day, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson addressed the nation saying, “My fellow Countrymen: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America has fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober friendly council, and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world.” 101 years later, people across the nation still celebrate the historic armistice as Veterans Day, a day to honor veterans for their service. This year, local businesses celebrated Veterans Day by offering Marine Brad Guthrie, along with the Kennedy’s team, hoists a new American flag in honor of Veterans Day.

Local Ducks Unlimited chapter hosts successful banquet FRANK TURNER

n Nov. 7, area hunters and conservationists gathered at the Hettinger Armory for the annual Ducks Unlimited banquet. There, volunteers and local hunters from the local West River Ducks Unlimited Chapter supported the Ducks Unlimited mission. Believe it or not, Ducks Unlimited is about much more than just trying to create unlimited ducks for sport. Instead, the organization is more conservation focused with the intention of protecting wetlands and waterfowl across the nation.

well,” said Shahan. “We are very thankful for the support of Hettinger and the surrounding area. Over the last few decades Ducks Unlimited has invested over $500,000 with Ducks Unlimited partners in the Adams County area specifically.” He continued, “These events are very important

in that conservation work. Ducks Unlimited can partner with people like Fish and Game, NRCS and other conservation groups. It may not always say Ducks Unlimited on a project, but quite often we are involved in it, and it all starts with these local banquets – without them, there wouldn’t be the funds to do that.”

BETTY OLSON Guest Columnist

Winter is coming. Wednesday night the mercury hit a low of -7 degrees. It was zero degrees when we woke up Thursday morning and warmed up to 35 degrees that afternoon. I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready for winter. Friday afternoon the thermometer registered 53 degrees and Saturday it rose to 66 degrees, but Monday morning it had dropped to -4 degrees. Brrr. The South Dakota legislature West River Tour met Monday morning at the Spyglass Natural Gas Wells in the Jump Off Field in Harding County to decide what to do with all the uncapped gas wells, mostly on the Gilbert and Hett ranches. Sen. Ryan Maher sent me all the information about the three day tour and I planned to be there, but that didn’t work out so good. I had to make a quick trip to the doctor Monday morning to see what the rash and blisters on my chest were. My father had shingles years ago when we were still living in the telephone office in Bison and my skin looked just like Dad’s did back then. It burned and itched so I self-diagnosed it and Dr. Ranum agreed with me. He gave me some meds and I have to stay away from all the little people so I don’t give them chickenpox! Our latest great grandbaby was born Tuesday, November 5 in Spearfish. Amanda and Taz are the proud parents of River Lu Olson, who weighed in at 7 pounds 1oz and is 20½ inches long. I’ve only seen River Lu’s picture on Facebook and can’t wait until I’m healed up to meet her in person. With shingles,

I can’t come close to any of the little people, even when they live next door to us until I get over the shingles. Dang it! Louise Jenson came down Thursday to see our mutual great grandbaby and when they told her about my not being able to see the baby because I have shingles, she went to town and got the shingles shot. I highly recommend getting the shot to anyone that has had chickenpox to avoid this miserable disease. Besides the birth of River Lu there were other medical issues around here on Tuesday. I had my last knee appointment in Spearfish that afternoon and saw Bill and Laura Johnson at the clinic. They’re doing pretty well. Our grandson Cade Olson had surgery on his knee in Gillette that day. He injured his knee in a basketball game last year and when they did the surgery they found another issue that will require another surgery soon. Doug and Clint Doll weaned calves on Friday. Cal and Ty Thybo, Ty Hotchkiss, Luke Rice, Jace Jenson, and Casey and Taz gathered at the Hackamore to help wean and everything went well. Amanda had a doctor appointment that morning and Starla went with her to watch the kids. Monday was Veterans Day and Scott Hanson sent me a gift the fits so well with the day set to honor our veterans. Scott grew up just west of Bison and lives in Marion, Illinois. He just toured Italy and sent me a picture of Anzio beach right where my father, Bryce White, landed during WWII. Scott mailed me some sand from Anzio beach near Nettuno, Italy. Dad would never talk about the horrible things they went through during the war. When we’d ask him questions about the war, his only answer was “you don’t want to know” and he joked about “vacationing on the sunny beaches of Anzio”. The only time we ever heard anything about the war was when his friend Roy Goddard would come

to visit. Roy and Dad joined the Army in February of 1941 and America joined the war after the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Roy and Dad served until the end of the war in 1945. Dad was in the infantry, but Roy was in the heavy artillery and was almost deaf because of that. When Roy would come to visit Dad, us kids would get sent to bed. We slept upstairs at the old telephone office in Bison and I would go up the stairs and around the corner to sit on the landing and listen to them. Roy’s hearing was terrible and he operated on the premise that everybody else was also hard of hearing so they would sit and yell at each other for a couple hours, talking about things that happened during the war. It’s unbelievable what the veterans of all wars have gone through. Dad also fought in France and helped to liberate Paris. He had pictures of himself with some of the people he met over there. I was reminded of him when I read this: Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 95, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to." You could have heard a pin drop.

SAE: Goat Production Submitted By TATUM FITCH

y SAE project is on Goat Production. I have 5 does that are expecting in January. I also plan on breeding 3 does in May to have kids in October. I

started my project in 2016 with 2 does and now I have 12 head. My goals for my project is to project quality does that are feminine and muscular. I also want to purchase bucks that are full in their twist and heavy footed. I have been looking

at different producers and networking to continue producing quality goats to compete at local, state, and national shows. I plan on furthering my education at DSU and transfer to NDSU in Agriculture Education.

Water Commission Announces Flood Data Viewer STAFF REPORT

he State Water Commission is pleased to announce the upcoming release of its online flood map data viewer, North Dakota Risk Assessment Mapservice (NDRAM). NDRAM, a tool designed by the Water Commission and located on the agency’s MapServices, provides a user- friendly format that combines new federal data along with the agency’s existing IT and GIS capabilities. NDRAM is a collaborative effort with FEMA that utilizes the Water Commission’s existing robust technology and infrastructure. In 2018, FEMA completed a Base Level Engineer-

ing (BLE) effort for every county in North Dakota – the first state to do so. The BLE dataset is a quality flood risk assessment that can be enhanced to create engineering models and other flood hazard data. NDRAM allows users to zoom in and visually display current flood risks, both approximate floodplains from BLE and effective regulatory floodplains from FEMA’s NFIP. This new tool also provides users water surface elevations, flood depths, and the ability to download engineering model data and print customized maps. Another exciting feature of the tool includes real-time weather warning displays across the state, making it especially

useful for planning, mitigation, and disaster recovery actions. “This innovative map viewer is an incredible asset for residents, emergency managers, and community leaders seeking flood risk information,” said State Engineer Garland Erbele. “NDRAM offers an invaluable service that will help generate informed decisions regarding flood preparedness and will increase public awareness.” Demonstrations of the viewer will be provided by Water Commission staff at the agency’s booth on Wednesday, October 30 at the Main Street Initiative Summit at the Bismarck Event Center.

Funeral services for Lila (Svihovec) Blandy, age 93, of Hettinger, ND, will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 9, 2019 at the United Methodist Church in Hettinger, ND. Pastor Duane Coates will officiate with burial to follow in the Hettinger Cemetery. Lila V. Svihovec was born at the Frahm Maternity Home in Hettinger, ND, on September 6, 1926. She was the first child born to James and Rena (Lewis) Svihovec and lived her life as a big sister to Faye, Delmar, Wava and Betty. The family’s home was in Duck Creek Township, Adams County, and she attended school at Pleasant View School #10. November of 1938 brought big changes to her life when her father died and the family moved to Hettinger. She was in the sixth grade at the time and had vivid memories of the dramatic changes in her family’s life. She completed her education at Hettinger Public School, graduating in 1945. During her youth she worked occasionally at the Strand Theater and regularly as a clerk at TS Harris Drug Store and then at Hancock’s Rexall Drug Store. Soon after graduation she moved to Spokane, WA and immediately found work in a downtown drug store. After working there for a short time, she was hired by a dentist to work as a dental assistant and receptionist, a job she held until her retirement. It was at this job that she met her husband, a WWII

veteran who was busy establishing his business as a Dental Technician. His name was Lawrence “Larry” Blandy and they were married on May 27, 1949. Together, they built a good life in the Spokane area. They enjoyed traveling, and did so extensively, making WWII reunions their priority. They also loved gardening and Lila was an expert at preserving the fruits and vegetables they raised. Her talent for gardening included bountiful gardens with roses that were exceptionally beautiful. She treasured working with her roses and teaching others how to plant, feed, prune and clip them. In 1988, Larry was diagnosed with mesothelioma and Lila suffered a severe stroke. Family moved them to Hettinger to care for them. Larry died in October that year. After his death, Lila became active in community life. As a devoted member of the Hettinger United Methodist Church, she served as Communion Steward for several years and Sanctuary Preparation Steward for 25 years. She was a member of the “Hometowners”, a local women’s vocal group. Her many talents ranged from cooking and baking, sewing and crafts, to oil painting, which she enjoyed the most. Gifted with a magnificent sense of color, she was able to transform a blank canvas into beautiful landscapes, stunning birds and animals or still life with strokes of a brush dipped in paint. Her love and respect for animals were ever present in her paintings of them. Being a member of the local Art Association was important to her. In additional to the pleasure of working with other local artists, it provided and opportunity for her to display her work, for which she received many awards. She will be remembered for her faith, strength and exceptional courage in the face of adversity. A two-time survivor of breast cancer and other serious health

issues, she was a hero in every sense of the word. Family was the central focus of her life. Holidays, birthdays, weddings, baptisms, Wednesday night family suppers and ‘no reason at all drop-in visits’, brought her great joy. She entered Western Horizons Care Center in September of 2015 and embraced the residents and staff as extended family. Jill, the Care Center therapy cat, must have sensed her love for animals, as they became steadfast and constant companions. Lila passed away on Tuesday evening, November 5, 2019 at the Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger. Surviving family to celebrate her live with loving memories are her sisters, Wava (Bruce) Howe, Dickinson, ND and Betty Svihovec, Hettinger, ND; sister-in-law, Veronica Svihovec, Hettinger, ND; nieces and nephews, Wayne (Val) Schmaltz, Fargo, ND, Charlotte Olson, Bismarck, ND, Rick Brunmaier, Aberdeen, SD, Bruce (Carol) Howe Jr., Bismarck, ND, Carmi Howe, Dickinson, ND, Timothy Howe, Spearfish, SD, Cyrisse (Les) Wietstock, West Fargo, ND, James (Linda) Svihovec, Bismarck, ND, Collette (Terry) Kraft, Mandan, ND, Maureen Svihovec, Valley City, ND and Joey (Dave) Erickson, Hettinger, ND. She is also survived by numerous great and great-great nieces and nephews and extended family members. She was preceded in death by her husband; her parents, sister, Faye (Christ) Schmaltz, brother, Delmar Svihovec; nephew, Duane “Tubby” Svihovec”, niece, Gwen (Schmaltz) Brunmaier; great-niece, Amy Svihovec; greatgreat nephew, Gabriel Olson. Visitation will be one hour prior to services at the church on Saturday morning the 9th of November. Condolences may be sent through our website at www.evansonjensenfuneralhome.com

SHELDON CHRISTENSON FOR THE RECORD

Info from the Night Hawk volleyball match with Bowman, the C squad lost 1-2 and the JV lost 1-2. According to assistant coach Reba Resner both teams played really well! Coach Resner also added; “The JV was 9-2, it was a great season! We took 4th in the JV Richardton tourney and did not play in the Hazen one due to the snow storm. From where we started to where we finished is leaps and bounds! They had a great year.” The University of Mary finished second to Augustana in the NCAA Division II Central Region cross country championship. Former Night Hawk Taylor Hestkin (22:00.3) finished 19th and earned all-region honors. The Lemmon Cowboys football team lost a close game, 32-26, to #1 seeded and undefeated ViborgHurley in the semi-finals of SD 9AA playoffs. Harding Co. was upended in the SD 9B semi-finals, 54-32, to Herreid/Selby Area. I ran into Jeri Dunn at the Super Value and she asked me about the Night Hawk/Bulldog volleyball match. I told her I took the easy and lazy way out as I settled into my easy chair with my favorite beverage and listened to Nolan on the radio. She said the Scranton gym was packed with bands from Hettinger, Scranton and Bowman taking up stage area. Bleacher seating was so tight they opened up stage area for standing room only. A great Night Hawk victory in three sets. Best of luck Night Hawks in the Region 7 tourney. Region 4 9-Man football teams did well again in the state playoffs. Highly rated and favored Cavalier barely

got by Linton HMB 30-28 in the semi-finals while in the other semi-final game Kidder Co. demolished Finley-Sharon/Hope Page, 46-6. Good luck to Kidder Co. in the finals against Cavalier. Coach Burwick informed me that he had 23 wrestlers at their first practice. LOOKING BACK: (source is the Adams Co. Record, mid 1980s) Myles Ginther, coach of Hettinger High School’s football team for five years and Hettinger Post 115’s American Legion baseball team for two years, resigned to accept a teaching and coaching position in Minnetonka, MN. He said leaving Hettinger was not an easy decision to make. Ginther’s Hettinger football teams won 28 games and lost 15, they won two Badlands Conference titles, one Region IV title and twice advanced to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. He feels he left HHS with a positive football program. His baseball teams won 75 games and lost only 13. They placed second and third at two state tournaments. Mr. Ginther departed after the 1984 school year. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - Nov 14, Region 7 Volleyball Finals at Trinity - Nov 15, Finals of 9-Man and Division A Football Playoffs at Farg - Nov 15, Boys & Girls JH Basketball vs New England at Reeder - Nov 15, Boys Elementary Basketball vs Mott-Regent at Hettinger - Nov 16, Boys JH Basketball at Bowman - Nov 18, Girls Varsity Basketball Starts Practice - Nov 19, Boys Elementary Basketball at Harding Co. - Nov 21, Girls JH Basketball at Bowman - Nov 21, Boys JH Basketball at New England - Nov 23, Boys & Girls JH Basketball vs Ht.

ghthawk basketball teams both down Harding County

ELDON CHRISTENSON e Pioneer

g County came to on Dec. 18 and 19 to the Nighthawk boys basketball teams, and 0-2 for their efforts. er-Scranton’s boy’s l team faced the first and pulled out win. The Nighthawk’s pressure initially gave hers trouble as they ll 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.

Did you know that longtime WRHS Auxiliary member, Carolyn VanWyk, had the original fundraising idea for the Auxiliary to serve a turkey lunch with homemade slices of pie before Thanksgiving? And now her son, Cory, continues to participate in his mom’s memory, with this community tradition. Fast forward to 2019 -- So the WRHS Foundation held the 43rd Annual “Community Turkey Luncheon” this past Thursday, November 7th, from 11am1pm, at the Hettinger Lutheran Church basement. Most everything stayed the same – 1) same location, 2) same date, 3) same time, 4) same amazing menu of white or dark turkey, Suzann Hanson’s sensational gravy from scratch, tasty stuffing, varieties of pies from numerous volunteer bakers throughout the area, cranberries, your

The WRHS Foundation did institute a few new wrinkles: 1) we switched to a goodwill donation instead of a flat fee for the turkey lunches, and 2) we’re placing the net funds toward our WRHS Foundation Scholarship Program, with a significant gift to the Adams County Food Pantry.

choice of white or wheat bread. 5) almost the same people making it all happen (with a few newbies), decorating and setting up the church basement (Cindy Olson, Talia Dustman, Lisa Briggs, Mary Krein, Emily Kling and Marinela Zialcita); making the cranberry to-go cups (Mary Krein, Carmen Strid and Jill Sailer); cutting the turkeys (Al & Kaye McIntyre, Sheri Uecker, Marinela

Zialcita and Ray Otteson); taking orders on the phone (Barb West); creating the homemade gravy (Suzann Hanson); mixing the stuffing ( Jennifer Seamands and Eve Safratowich, with Mary Whitmer taste-testing in heaven); making coffee and stirring stuffing (Erika Pagel); cutting the pies (Barb West, Eva Knutson, Kaylene Erlenbusch, Cindy Ham, Karen Nelson, Denise Turner, Dana An-

What a crowd! 247 takeout orders, plus 59 pick-up and takeout orders – or a total of 306 takeout orders. Plus about 200 sit-down orders – for a GRAND TOTAL of 506 turkey lunches served! 87 pies – all varieties, with every single slice served. Not one remaining! All of the turkey was gone by 12:15pm! We contacted Kennedy’s Fresh Foods and they brought all the roasted chicken they could muster. We certainly are sorry to those last few who received chicken instead of turkey. But we really thought 16 turkeys would be enough, as it was last year. We’ll have more turkeys in 2020!

$6,500 in goodwill donations (and some checks are still coming in the mail from businesses who wanted to pay for their employee’s turkey lunches!). With expenses being tabulated, it appears that we will have about $5,000 in net funds raised. With a $750 gift to the Adams County Food Pantry for turkeys and hams for 35 families to enjoy Thanksgiving, we should have about $4,000+ for our WRHS Foundation Scholarship Fund. Wow! THANK YOU Hettinger area. You have outdone yourselves once again. And “Thank You” to the Hettinger Lutheran Church, Kennedy’s Fresh Foods, KNDC, Adams County Record, and all of the hungry citizens of our area. We appreciate your unending support of our healthcare system. TOGETHER we can continue to improve our top-notch healthcare “close to home.”
