ELECTION

Gubernatorial candidate Becker stops in Hettinger By Cole Benz

Meeting the Constituents

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net

The campaign trail passed through Hettinger on Sunday. Gubernatorial candidate Rep. Rick Becker, R-N.D., came through town while making his way through the southwest part of the state, hoping to talk with constituents about his bid for the Governor’s office. Becker is currently campaigning for the Republican nomination against current North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Fargo businessman Doug Burgum. Originally scheduled to be held at the American Legion on Main Street, the meeting moved to the office of the Adams (Photo by Cole Benz/The Record) County Record when the Legion doors Mark Pirshmann (Left) listens to governor candidate Rep.

The Night Hawks jumped out quickly with a 25-13 first quarter lead and continued to add to their lead the rest of the game. The Night Hawks pressure defense provided numerous steals and easy layups. What kept Bowman from falling farther behind was their shooting from the beyond the 3-point line. They recorded nine beyond the arc, with many of them wide open shots.

Foundation Board of Directors Gives $25,000 Boost to New “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign at Western Horizons Care Center By Ted Uecker

WRHS Fund Dev. Officer The West River Health Services Foundation Board of Directors took leadership by the reigns and jump-started the new “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign at Western Horizons Care Center with a $25,000 gift! Once the Foundation Board, along with the Western Horizons Living Centers Board of Directors, heard full-fledged needs and marketing presentations at the Board Retreat in Rapid City (1/16/16) from Western Horizons Administrator Mark Prischmann and Foundation Director Ted Uecker about the proposed “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign to raise $145,500 to completely renovate 42 individual resident rooms at the Care Center; they went to the next room, met with CFO Nathan Stadheim, and the motion carried to forward $25,000 to the campaign. Once approved, the Foundation Board members presented their gift to the Western Horizons Living Centers Board of Directors. Which, needless to say, was gratefully ac-

cepted. The Foundation Board members did not waste any time in going “all in” for the Care Center to make improvements to each resident room, including new flooring, painting, lighting, furniture, sinks, and decorations. Our moms and dads, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers deserve better than we currently provide. The Hettinger City Council, Uecker Yards Inc., Farmers Union Insurance and the Community Clothes Closet had already agreed and stepped forward with $5,500, $4,500, $2,000 and $2,000 respectively; so with the Foundation’s $25,000 gift, there would be $39,000 to immediately get started on renovating the first 8 rooms in the northeast wing. In this way, the public could view the renovations; thereby helping convince them to support the campaign. The 27 rooms that require new flooring are estimated at $4,000 per room; whereas the 15 rooms not requiring new flooring are estimated at $2,500 per room. For businesses, organizations and families that decide to give over $2,500, a plaque will be engraved and placed just out-

side each resident room recognizing that sponsor. Of course, we will also be developing a Wall of Honor for all gifts over $100. And every gift, no matter the size, is most respected. This past week the Foundation began hitting the streets to promote the new campaign. Ted Uecker and Mark Prischmann were on KNDC’s TTO morning program and an article hit the front page of the Adams County Record. Area businesses, organizations and families will be receiving an invitation in the mail to join the campaign. Hopefully, they will be interested in visiting with Ted about possibly joining us in this worthwhile endeavor. He can be reached at any time at 701567-3666, 701-567-4561 or at fdo@ wrhs.com. So far, through Wednesday 2/10, we have raised $42,009 toward our $145,500 fundraising goal. Once the newspaper, radio and outdoor billboard advertising hits the area, everyone will know about our “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign. We believe that our area elderly deserve a nicer, more updated 21st century residence than they currently have. Please consider joining us today. Onward!

»CORRECTION Collin Dunn’s portion of last week’s Q&A with the Adams County Deputies was erroneously cut off. •Colin Dunn What made you want to go into law enforcement? I wanted to serve. I’ve always wanted a life of service, first joining the U.S. Army, then the North Dakota National Guard, now the Adams County Sheriff’s Department. What about working in Adams County attracted you to the position? I grew up here. The people here influenced me and directly affected how I am today. I wanted to pay back the people who have shaped me and protect them because I gen-

uinely care about and appreciate the people here. What do you think the most difficult part of the job will be? The most difficult part for me will be seeing people I know hurt. Be it accidents, disputes and what have you. Seeing a different side of the county and it’s people may be trying at times.

What is one thing you want the Adams County Residents to know about you? In everything I do as a law enforcement officer, I strive to be fair. Tough decisions are part of the job, but I have sworn an oath and I mean to keep it by being objective and holding myself and others to a high standard.

What do you think you will most enjoy about being a deputy in Adams County? I have a vested interest in the community. Adams County has wonderful people and I want it to stay that way. Protecting people I know, watching kids grow up, helping the community maintain and grow will be very rewarding.

How do you enjoy spending your free time? I enjoy shooting sports and outdoor activities. I also enjoy exercise and broadening my horizons. As I have two careers, one also in the National Guard, I try to seek enjoyable hobbies that will further develop me as a person and in the career fields I hold.

District 28 Legislative Report By Betty Olson

This was the fifth week of session and the midpoint of the 2016 legislature. Things are really heating up due to the large number of controversial bills that are being debated. The Capitol was packed throughout the week with lobbyists and citizens from across the state that came to testify on various bills dealing with tax increases, legalization of medical marijuana, abortion, repealing the death penalty, guns in the Capitol, religious freedom, willing provider in-

surance policy, and transgender policies. •HB 1008 to restrict access to restrooms and locker rooms in public schools was heard in the Senate Education committee Thursday morning. HB 1008 says that every restroom, locker room, and shower room located in a public elementary or secondary school that is designated for student use and is accessible by multiple students at the same time shall be designated for and used ONLY by students of the same biological sex. So many proponents and opponents came to testify that there wasnít room to even stand in the committee room. HB 1008 was passed on a 6 to 2 vote and will come to the Senate floor next week.

For all of you who have asked if weíre ever going to stop having to change our clocks twice a year, Rep. Elizabeth May and I are bringing HB 1233 to exempt the state from daylight saving time, which will leave South Dakota on standard time year around. Hopefully we can get this one passed, because there are a whole lot of folks wanting it. Two more Pages from District 28, Ryder Heitz from Newell and former Sen. Eric Bogueís daughter Katie Bogue from Faith, are serving this two-week term. With all the action going on this week, these young ladies have been very busy. We passed these bills out of our Agriculture and Natural Resources committee this week: •SB 136 permits certain cropland along lakes, rivers, and streams to be assessed as noncropland. •SB 98 revises and repeals certain provisions regarding pork production. •SB 107 clarifies safety zone restrictions on hunting. •HB 1011 repeals obsolete and unnecessary statutes concerning game preserves and refuges. These are some of the bills that passed the Senate this week:

•SB 5 revises the procedure to initiate a school district boundary change. •SB 58 revising the restrictions for the use of night-vision equipment for hunting predators and varmints at night. •SB 66 permits the issuance of special license plates to parents or guardians of handicapped dependents. This is my bill that sailed through the Senate on consent. •SB 70 requiring certain private cemeteries to file an annual financial report. •SB 71 revising the provisions regarding the issuance of small game licenses and fishing licenses to veterans at reduced fees and to revise the provisions regarding special pheasant hunts for disabled veterans. •SB 73 clarifying provisions regarding open meetings. •SB 79 expanding the list of professionals authorized to perform examinations required for a plea of guilty but mentally ill. •SB 80 limiting the liability for hosts of fishing tournaments. •SB 85 revises provisions regarding motorcycle license plates. •SB 90 ensuring that members of the public are able to access and record

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Hat Tips By Dean Meyer

Hello, I’ve always enjoyed rodeos. I grew up attending the Y’s Mens rodeo in Minot and the Blaisdell rodeo every year. I don’t imagine I missed more than a handful of those rodeos the first thirty or forty years of my life. But one of my favorites was the NDRA rodeo finals in Watford City. They not only put on a great rodeo with great

stock, they always added a little extra. Be it the “wild ride” or a dedication to something special. I’ll never forget the program they put on following the attack on 9/11. One year they put on kind of one act play. Here is how it went. It was like an old time roundup. Cowboys sitting around a fire, talking of great cowboys and great bucking horses. Old time cowboys probably didn’t have “Strawberry Roan” playing in the background, but who knows, I wasn’t there. As the narrative wound down, the cowboys snubbed a bronc up, put

a blind on, and just as we told the crowd to sit back and enjoy the rodeo, Nolan screwed himself into the saddle, and they pulled the blindfold off. They couldn’t have done it any better in Hollywood. That bronc let out a squeal and blew up! He made about four good jumps, jumped straight in the air, and flipped himself over on top of Nolan! It was truly awesome! Well, I thought so. Nolan didn’t like it quite as well. But he did escape with only bruises. Then the bronc jumped up and bucked right through their campfire! Just like Charlie Russell painted it. It brought tears to my eyes.

Reminded me of my younger days. I wasn’t a bronc rider. But, I got on some. The ground wasn’t near as hard forty years ago. And I wasn’t so top heavy. I was riding a horse named Frazer. Big, good looking palomino gelding. A mouth like a feather. But he was just a colt and was inclined to test you early in the morning. I was a hell of a lot more scared of him than I let Hal and Dennis see. We were going riding on the res. I thought I’d top Frazer off at home, so when he bucked me off, we wouldn’t have to spend the morning looking for him. I

crawled on him in front of the barn and let him stand there awhile. Then I started easing him around the corral. All of a sudden he jumped in the air and let out a beller. He crashed into the fence and I started grabbing ahold. I grabbed for leather, hair, anything… I just wanted something to hang on to. My levi jacket hooked over the saddle horn and he kept jerking me down by his head. His head hit me in the face and loosened some teeth and gave me a bloody nose. I tell you what, those buttons on those old denim jackets don’t tear out easy. It was

like being welded to that saddle. After a few seconds, which seemed like a hell of a long time to me, Frazer stopped to catch his wind. Hal and Dennis were laughing there heads off. I didn’t think that was very nice. I didn’t find out till days later, that they had thrown a halter under Frazer to set him off that morning! Ah, to be young again.

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.

Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win.

exams will be retained, while reducing the amount of time our students spend taking tests. “This will give our teachers more time to teach,” Baesler said. The superintendent said the Department of Public Instruction also plans to begin a routine, deliberative review of North Dakota’s English and mathematics standards, to ensure our standards reflect North Dakota’s goals, values and expectations. The present standards were approved in 2011. Normally, the department does a standards review every five to seven years. Baesler said the review will discover which standards our North Dakota educators feel confident in teaching, and which ones may require more support. “Our teachers deserve more time and support with these standards,” Baesler said. In March 2013, three months after she first took office, Baesler withdrew North Dakota’s waiver application. Her decision was made with the support of North Dakota United, the North Dakota Council of Educational Leaders and the North Dakota School Boards Association. “At that time we decided we were going to focus our efforts on getting a new federal law to replace No Child Left Behind,” Baesler said. “Now that goal has almost

been reached, and I believe our steadfast approach has brought us results.” Under the new law, Baesler said North Dakota will still have challenging academic standards and more control over assessments. The state must write an accountability plan for education. Baesler said that during the next 18 to 20 months, she will bring together K-12 stakeholders to write our state plan based on what we value and what we know makes a quality school. “Once we determine what we want to measure, we will also be able to determine what needs to be done to help our lowest performing schools,” Baesler said. •The U.S. House voted to approve the bill with a vote of 359 to 64 on Thursday, December 3, 2015. •The U.S. Senate voted to approve the bill with a vote of 85 to 12 on Wednesday, December 9, 2015. •The President signed the reauthorization bill today (December 10, 2015).

Technology Hettinger and Scranton are in the process of hoping to get off of leased fiber runs between school districts and move onto ITD-DCN fiber runs. In the past couple of years, we are finding out that it has become more efficient to move away from the GWN fiber leases with our service providers. In the case of the Bowman, Scranton and Hettinger scenario, the three schools have shared a 100 mb pipe that ITD-DCN dropped at the Bowman School. The issues have been that if one of the schools lost power or there was an equipment malfunction at one of them, it would affect the other two. Bowman last year opted out and went with the 50 meg drop circuit from ITD-DCN. So for last year and this year, the 100 meg drop still comes in to Bowman, but goes directly to Scranton and then to Hettinger on Midcontinent Fiber that our consortium leases. The individual school 50 meg circuit is now the standard in ND. The change would take effect July 1, 2016. There will be no cost incurred by either of your schools and I think your schools will see an increase in reliability and efficiency. Calendar A rough draft of the calendar was given to the teachers. Feedback from the teachers was to lengthen Christmas vacation if possible. EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT This act replaces the No Child Left Behind Act. “Reauthorization is critical to providing the nation’s schools with relief from the current law, which is both broken and lacking in the flexibility states and local school districts need to support student learning and achievement. Though not perfect, ESSA represents a strong step in the right direction because it restores a more proper balance on all levels. The legislation provides schools with workable federal education policy that supports state and local innovations. Our students deserve nothing less. ASSA, Alexandria, VA December 9, 2015 . In a press release from Superintendent Kirsten Baesler. New Law Restores Education Authority to States BISMARCK, N.D., Dec. 9, 2015 – North Dakota School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler said Wednesday that a sweeping new federal education law, called the Every Student Succeeds Act, takes important steps to restore control of North Dakota education policy to local and state officials, where it belongs. “With the approval of this law, we can shape our school systems in North Dakota based on our own values, and what we know is important to the students in our state,” Baesler said at a news conference at the state Capitol. The new law replaces No Child Left Behind, a federal law that Congress has been struggling to rewrite for the past eight years. It focused on using standardized tests in English, mathematics and science as measurements for school district accountability, and specified penalties for schools that failed to make “adequate yearly progress” on tests. Baesler said the North Dakota State Assessment is going to be shortened this spring. The validity and reliability of the English and math

ATTENTION GOOSE HUNTERS The North Dakota Game and Fish Department announces the following summary of regulations from amendment number two of the 2015-2016 Small Game and Furbearer Proclamation.

2016 SPRING LIGHT GOOSE HUNTING SEASON

February 20 - May 15, 2016 — Statewide

• Resident hunters can hunt during this season using either 2015-2016 or 20162017 resident hunting licenses (fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate, small game license, general game and habitat license (or combination license)). • Nonresident hunters can hunt during this season by purchasing a 2016 nonresident spring light goose season license ($50.00). This license enables nonresidents to hunt statewide for the entire season and does not affect their eligibility to purchase a regular nonresident waterfowl hunting license for the fall 2016 season. • Required licenses may be purchased only through the Department's Bismarck office, through the Department's toll free phone licensing system (1-800-406-6409), or through the Department's website at gf.nd.gov. • All 2016 Spring Light Goose Season hunters must register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP). Resident hunters with valid 2015-2016 licenses need only call 1-888-634-4798 to be HIP registered. HIP registration can be obtained with license purchases through the Department's Bismarck office, toll free phone licensing service, or website. HIP registration for this spring season will carry thru for fall hunting. • The Federal Waterfowl Stamp is not required for this season. • Only light geese may be taken. Light geese include snow geese, blue geese, and Ross's geese. They may be taken statewide from February 20 thru May 15, 2016. • There will be no daily limit or possession limit on light geese during this season. • Shooting hours will be from 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset. • Electronic and recorded calls, as well as shotguns capable of holding more than 3 shells, may be used to take light geese during this season. • All Waterfowl Rest Areas designated for 2015 are open during this season. • Non-toxic shot is required for hunting light geese.

quickly being approved at all levels. The U.S. House voted to approve the bill with a vote of 359 to 64 on Thursday, December 3, 2015. The U.S. Senate voted to approve the bill with a vote of 85 to 12 on Wednesday, December 9, 2015. The President signed the reauthorization bill today (December 10, 2015). •Now what? Naturally, everyone wants to know what happens next. In the many months ahead, we will continue to receive guidance and have an opportunity to participate in trainings. The Department of Public Instruction will eventually need to write a state plan and get approval through the U.S. Department of Education. Current adequate yearly progress (AYP) requirements are effective through August 1, 2016. The bill also allows for a transition period for states to align their new accountability system to the new requirements. The new accountability system takes effect at the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. Schools and districts that have been identified for program improvement must continue to implement any interventions required under those authorities until states have a new Title I plan approved. •Key Areas of Interest Include: Class Size Reduction – Class size reduction remains an allowable activity under the new Title II Part A program. o Schoolwide – Although the new bill maintains the 40% poverty threshold for schoolwide, there is now an option for any Title I school, regardless of their poverty percent, to request a waiver from the state if they can demonstrate a benefit to going schoolwide. o Paraprofessional Requirement – Since the highly qualified (HQ) teacher requirements were eliminated, allowing states to determine HQ status, we were hopeful that the aide/paraprofessional requirement would also be eliminated. However, the paraprofessional requirements are maintained in the new bill. o Program Improvement – Although states will still be required to identify low performing schools under the new bill, it will be a significantly smaller number of schools. In addition, district program improvement is eliminated. The 100% proficiency requirement and supplemental educational services are also eliminated. •Mark your calendar to attend one of three regional trainings in spring 2016 to learn about the reauthorization, what changes will occur, and what the final requirements will entail.

Great Western Network At the administrative meeting on Wednesday, December 9, the consortium superintendents moved to approve a common calendar for GWN. It was also voted on by the majority of superintendents in a roll call vote to operate on a semester grading period rather than quarterly. This would pertain mainly for GWN hired teachers. If Hettinger would choose to put in a quarterly grade that would come from PowerSchool on our cut-off date. The ND K-12 Schools received $267,140 in grant dollars from the RUS grant to update equipment. The Great Western Network will receive $57,760 to go towards newer equipment. There was a lot of discussion regarding guidelines for Dual Credit courses in the future. Specifically, the fall semester of 2017 adjunct faculty would need to have a master’s degree in the discipline in which they are teaching. If the teacher’s had an existing Master’s Degree out of the content area the teacher would need 18 grad credits in the area in which they were teaching. This also does affect one teacher who offers a course for dual credit through Dickinson State University. This also does have an impact on Speech and College English which affects the largest group of students in the State of North Dakota. It does have a direct effect on Hettinger students who are interested in Speech and English. This new guidelines from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), governing body for colleges in the United States, will take away approximately 67% of the adjunct faculty at BSC. This would be similar for other NDSUS schools. There is no grandfather clause for teachers who are already teaching dual credit courses. This will create a new competition between K-12 schools and higher education with the shortage of teachers. Registration for GWN will start in January 2016.

Some of the initiatives that we are considering include: There was concern by superintendent’s at the GWN meeting on Wednesday regarding the issues of Dual Credit with high ed. and AP not being mentioned in the ND State Scholarship. North Dakota/South Dakota Students Cross boarder students have ADM has been cleared up in STARS for the Department of Public Instruction. Midwest Security The new DVR has been installed and is working great. The school district had to install 4 new cameras due to the fact 4 old camera’s no longer functioned. CTS Kristopher Schwab, Solutions Development Engineer, from CTS had brought in another control contractor in to obtain another opinion. Fire Alarm System The General Electric – EST panels are beginning to fail. These are the panels that contact AVI and the sheriff’s department of a fire. The one by the main door of the elementary school is already not functioning, and the one in the elementary office partially works. The system itself goes back to the superintendence of Mr. Campbell. The alarm system in itself does work if an alarm is pulled and the fire doors do close. AVI out of Bismarck was here and looked at the system and stated they would get a price quote together. Elementary Principal Report: School Lunch: The auditors felt that the records for school lunch were appropriate and thorough. They did recommend that we show the Fruit and Vegetable Grant separate from the DPI lunch reimbursement on the deposits so we will start doing that. Early Childhood Education Coalition Meeting: We are required by DPI to hold an Early Childhood meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to perhaps determine a governing board, decide how to allocate and utilize funds, and the level of the Hettinger School Board participation in this Early Childhood Grant. The grant provides funding for DPI approved Pre-K programs at a rate of $1,000 for each four year old served that qualifies for a reduced lunch and $2,000 for each four year old served that qualifies for a free lunch. We currently have 4 that qualify for free and 3 that qualify for reduced. So our funding for this year would have been $11,000. These are pretty typical numbers, but it does vary from year to year. This meeting will be at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, December 16, in the AV room. We do need to have School Board representation there but it does not have to be the entire School Board. KQCD Holiday Commercial: KQCD was here on Tuesday, December 1, to film clips of the K-6 grade classes for a 60 second holiday commercial that RZ Motors, Inc. is paying for. The commercial will air from December 10 to December 27 in the evenings. The classrooms had fun shooting the commercial and I’m thinking it will be cute. NWEA and Dibels Testing: Students in grades 2-6 will be taking the NWEA test on line Monday, January 11, Wednesday, January 13, and Thursday, January 14. Students in grades K-4 will take the quick Dibels tests for reading skills on Tuesday, January 12. Retirement: I have given Mr. Sebastian my resignation effective Thursday, June 9, 2016 after I finish my 2015-2016 contract. I have resigned early in the hopes it will benefit Hettinger Public in finding a new Elementary Principal for the 2016-2017 school year. Secondary Principal Repot: Curriculum Meeting Present: Tenille Guthrie, Krista Faller, Mr. Sebastian, Mr. Jamison, Mr. Moser There was a lot of discussion about the math curriculum and the direction we would like to go not only next year, but also going forward. One potential option is to have Mr. Jamison teach 7, 8, Algebra I & II, Geometry AND Pre-Calculus OR Calculus. The conclusion was to poll the students who would be affected to determine if offering a distance education College Algebra would be an option. There are 5 students interested in taking Pre-Calculus if it is offered inhouse, 0 interested in taking the course over ITV. Mr. Jamison is willing to teach all courses again next year, but I recommend that year of this schedule then students would have to seek out an alternative route for a math. Pre-Registration We will be registering in late January after GWN schedule is finalized. We have developed a registration guide for students to help plan their way. NWEA Testing We will be testing NWEA when we return for the spring semester, this is a

LegaLs

change from the end of the year, and this should eliminate some of the crunch to get testing done in the spring. Final Testing is continuing. Homeroom We have implemented a new homeroom for the spring semester; students with D’s and F’s will go to a homeroom during the activity period, I will supervise the students. Students with a single D+ and all homework complete can get an exemption sheet signed by parents, teacher, and principal. This was developed after discussions from principal meetings and area schools. Alert Solutions Alert solutions has been updated we have been getting training on the functions of the new program. Activities Director Report: Athletics *Girls Basketball: First action was last week in Killdeer. This week is 3 games. As far as numbers go there are 20 total girls out for high school basketball. We have 10 from Hettinger and 10 from Scranton. Nice even split. With these numbers we can expect a 50/50 split for next year’s expenses and for the schedule. There is a JV Girls Tournament in Heart River over the break. *Boys Basketball: First home action for the boys is this week. They went to Linton last week for the shootout. As far as numbers go we have 23 boys out for high school basketball. There are 13 boys from Hettinger and 10 from Scranton. With these numbers we can expect a 50/50 split for next year’s expenses and for the schedule. They will be playing in the Mandan Tournament over break. They will be defending the title they won last year. *Wrestling: Off and running. They have been busy now for three weeks. Recently they were in Mandan and placed 6th at a Class A tournament. As far as numbers there are 24 boys out for wrestling this year. We have 13 from Hettinger, 4 from Scranton, 5 from Bison (3 are home schooled), 1 home school in our district, and 1 from Richardton. They will be traveling to the Rumble on the Red over break. Activities Nothing to Report this month Busing *New Freightliner is all fixed and running just fine. There was a problem with the transmission, but Trucks of Bismarck fixed it and I went to Bismarck to pick it up the day before Thanksgiving. *New Activity Bus runs well. The decals are on it now and they look really nice. *Both of these buses are used on a regular basis. They both run at least twice a week for all activities. *Charter Bus status? I hope we can start using this bus again. We just need to decide in what types of conditions and distance we are comfortable letting it travel. *I did a winter busing schedule for all activities. I split it up as equally as possible between Scranton and Hettinger. Winter mileage total is 8,346. The split between the two schools is Hettinger traveling 4,214 miles and Scranton buses traveling 4,132 miles. This is as even as we could get. *I will be driving buses for several of the events this winter. *We did have an issue with some shop kids driving the bus. One kid was backing up a bus in the parking lot and broke the side mirror on the Charter Bus. Mike Jorda ordered glass and fixed it. Question is, should the kids be driving the bus, even if it is to just drive it into the shop? *Keys. I was informed by the shop they want to have sets of keys for the buses. My question, should we have all the keys in one place, like we do now, or start spreading them out? Education Improvement Report Dec School Board 2015 The Data Team has met several times we are putting together a document which will show data about our school. We will have this finalized after the winter break. NWEA testing, students will begin testing in January Mr. Sebastian and Mrs. Arndorfer have been in the process of setting this test up as an Online test which will provide data online for classroom teachers. It is hoped that it should provide teachers with data broken down by standard. We will then be able to really use the information to effect curriculum changes. Currently we have to request reports which do not give much detail and Mrs. Kristy has the only computer with the software to read the reports. Writing Program. Teachers and students have completed the first semester of the new Writing Program, there have been a few bumps along the way but in general teachers have felt that this is a valuable program. Elementary students, in particular are quite proud of their research projects and really enjoy doing research. The library has been hopping with an increase of 1000 circulations to date or about 250 more books circulating per month. The I-Pads, library computers, and printers are also constantly in use. Classroom teachers should be commended for all of the extra time it takes them to teach,

LegaLs

grade and re-grade research papers. The teaching staff at Hettinger are committed to helping our students become proficient in research and writing and this first semester can generally be seen as a success. Student Council Report: The Hettinger High School Junior Council has been collecting money for the Hettinger Backpack program. Once per moth members of the Junior High and High School Student Body are allowed to pay a dollar and wear a hat. We also had a special competition with the elementary students to see which group had the highest percentage of participation. Both groups did very well we have raised $312 so far this school year. Mentoring Program: The Hettinger High School Student Council would like to start a peer mentoring program for junior high and high school students. Members of student council will be available to peer mentor students need a little extra help with their school work on Tuesday and Thursday morning in the library. Students will be available from 7:30-8:10 to help with school work. Students feeling they could benefit from peer mentoring are encouraged to sign up with Mrs. Kristy so we can insure we have enough mentors. FBLA Report: Members of the FBLA student chapter presented the Board with an activities schedule for the 2015-2016 school year (see attached). They also asked any of the Board Members if they would be interested in paying dues to become a professional member of FBLA, this year the students are striving for 100 members in the professional division. The board discussed the 2002 Freightliner Bus, the Board is wanting to sell the bus. Board member Mattis will put the bus up for auction through EBay with a reserve set at $25,000.

Public Works Director Theo Schalesky presented his monthly report and updated the Council on activities of his department. Engineer Billy Doerr, Brosz Engineering, provided an opinion of probable cost for Papka’s First Addition Street project. Four options were presented for consideration ranging from $1,009,597.00 to $1,823,800.00. As a special assessment district would need to be established, the City Auditor was authorized to invite a bond counsel representative to the March meeting. The opinion of cost for the Mirror Lake Road Rehab project #CNOC-0001(051) was reviewed by the Council. The total project cost is estimated at $2,123,000.00. Of that cost $1,188,000.00 is within the city limits. Director of Tax Equalization Kim Frank met with the Council to discuss the application submitted by James Howell’s for abatement of a portion of his 2015 real estate taxes. Ms. Frank informed the Council that a mistake had been made in the number of square feet as the enclosed porch should not have been included in the total square footage resulting in an increase of $4100.00 of true and full value. Mr. Howell received a letter in March of 2015 with the increase in true and full value noted, but chose not to question the re-assessment at that time.

Of course she is! Your mom -- and your dad, sister, brother, spouse, aunt and uncle deserve a stylish comfortable resident room at Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger. Just because this building was designed in 1967, doesn’t mean it has to have furnishings from that era! The bottom line -- Our family members deserve better. About ten years ago, when the Lantis Corporation left Hettinger’s Nursing Home abandoned, our community got together and basically said, “We cannot lose those beds” and “We need a nursing home here.” The West River Health Services Board of Directors and Foundation Board of Directors agreed – and purchased the facility for $1.5 million. Once again, West River stepped up for this community. In the meantime, we have staffed and bankrolled this operation for the last ten years. In addition, we have re-floored, repainted and redecorated the hallways, main congregating areas and activity room. Plus we have brought in a new furnace, new resident beds, a new patio and inside resting area with outside views, new nursing stations, and improved seating throughout. We have had our lumps along this journey, but we have persevered. And now, ten years later, we are seeing an operation at almost full capacity with a caring attentive staff to match. The staff has done an amazing job as is evident by our recent 5-Star quality rating from Nursing Home Compare. This truly objective service ranks over 15,000 nursing homes nationwide, based on health inspection results, staffing data, and quality measures.

Read more at Medicare.gov/Nursing Home Compare. This study proves our staff provides terrific care for our residents. Now it’s time for all of us to pitch in and help improve our resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center. We are beginning our “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign in an attempt to raise $145,500 for complete renovations to 42 individual resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center. We’re talking everything (including the resident’s sink!) as well as new flooring, lighting, painting, furniture and decorations. Twenty-seven of the resident rooms require new flooring and are estimated at $4,000 each. Fifteen of the resident rooms do not require new flooring but are receiving all of the other upgrades for approximately $2,500. Businesses, organizations and families in the surrounding area, who give $2,500 or more to this campaign, will be recognized via an engraved plaque outside each resident room. Plus, we will have a “Donor Wall” recognizing every gift of $100 or more. But every gift, no matter the size, is most respected and graciously accepted. If you’d like to learn more about this awesome renovation and be part of this “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign, please contact Ted at the WRHS Foundation at 701-567-3666. He’ll be happy to explain the entire project – and your role in helping us improve our Western Horizons Care Center resident rooms. For your Mom. Your Dad. Maybe your spouse. Or your sister. Or brother. Maybe a friend. Thank you for considering a gift.

FACS III class gets creative with flannel

Submitted by: Devin Faller, HaLea Mehrer, Sam Reuther, Aric Sparatta, Braxon Yates. Photo taken by Ronda Schauer. Last week, we the FACS III class, converted flannel shirts into pillow covers. After choosing our flannel shirts we needed to choose the correct size pillow form. We put a square piece of tag board the size of our pillow

over our shirt and cut the shirt out. We had to make sure we had no seams in our piece of cloth. We than we turned the pieces inside out so the buttons were on the inside so we wouldn’t see the stiches. After we sowed all

four sides we turned it back the right way and then put the pillow in through the buttons and then buttoned the buttons. We created pillow covers. These are very practical pillows and can be used for many years to come.

GOVERNOR | FROM PAGE 1 Many of the projects were started with grant money, and started with the anticipation of grant money being available throughout the process. But Becker said that it could be a real issue when those towns go to apply for more funds, they may not be there. “I believe it’s highly likely that (lack of available grants) will be an issue,” Becker said. Becker said he would like to have a clear program where legacy funds would be available to bond out the rest of those projects in the middle of construction. Becker suggested perhaps moving funds from projects that haven’t been started yet to those in the middle of construction as a solution to that problem. Following some discussion about his other policies and political stances, Becker was asked a final question: why should people vote for him? Becker was clear with his answer; he wants people to vote for him if they feel he aligns with their political ideologies. “You really shouldn’t vote for anyone beyond the simple metric of saying “who has the vision with what I think is best,”” Becker said. “And if people vote for one of the other two based on that and I lose, I will be perfectly content, that’s the way the system is suppose to work. That’s why I implore to people to just be true to themselves, do their due diligence to figure out the candidates, if they do that I believe I’ll win.” Becker was scheduled to meet with the Bowman community following his time in Hettinger. His campaign advisor said he was making stops this past weekend because many of the district meeting occur on the same evening, and he can’t be present at each and every one of them. The Primary will be in June 14. So far the Democrats have not announced a candidate and a Fargo resident, Eugene Dumont, will be campaigning as a write-in candidate.

THANKS | FROM PAGE 1 home. At a follow up appointment in January the doctor said he wasn’t responding, and that their options had virtually been exercised. When the community found out about Andy’s prognosis, they stepped up to help the family in any way they could. Growing up in Denmark, Christensen and his wife were always brought up to take care of themselves and weren’t ones to reach out for help. So when they were first approached about a fundraising bake sale, they were a little apprehensive. “We didn’t really want anything,” Enger Christensen said. Unable to get past the friendly persuasion, a bake sale was held with the proceeds going to benefit Andy and Inger. The bake sale—and the resulting funds—was just one way the community has chipped in. Enger Christensen said help has come from all different avenues, even in the form of dog sitting while they were away getting Andy his treatments. Enger works at the hospital as a CNA, and her coworkers have been kind enough to donate their vacation, and sick time, so Enger can have more time at home with her husband. The Christensens were almost speechless when asked what the generosity has meant to the both of them. Growing up and not really experiencing this type of kindness, it has been quite an experience for the both of them. Both have been extremely grateful for what everyone has done for them during this time. “Everybody was just unreal,” Enger Christensen said. On Halloween this past year the two celebrated 50 years of marriage, and they know they’ve had a good live together and are at peace with Andy’s prognosis. They moved to the United States in 1978, and Hettinger in 1991, hoping to create a better life for them and their children. They believe they have, and with the support and generosity of those around them, the couple couldn’t begin to thank everyone for their help.

He also led in rebounds as I had him with eight. Isaiah Kludt added 20 points, Sam Kludt had 13 and Jarad Mattis finished with 10. Bowman was led by Alex Bartholomay with 21 which included four 3-pointers. Andrew Miller added 17 and Dylan Scott had 13. In the first preliminary game the Night Hawk C team had a 24-18 lead at half time but a turnover filled second half led to a 46-39 loss. Bowman also shot very well from

the free throw line and held a 16-8 advantage at the line. Brett Christopherson scored 11 and Carson Schalesky led in rebounds with nine, and also added nine blocked shots. The junior varsity contest was a different story as the Night Hawks jumped out to a quick lead and easily downed the Bulldogs 70-55. Jaxon Mellmer and Jarad Mattis had a good scoring evening as they tallied 22 and 20 respectfully. Jordan Dilse led in rebounds with eight, but sprained his ankle late and had to be taken out of the game.

After winning the Region 4 dual tourney last week at Killdeer, the Night Hawks duplicated their effort by winning the individual Region 4 tourney at Watford City on Feb. 13. The Night Hawks crowned five champions with Mason DeFoe at 106, Kyle Burwick at 113 pounds, Alec Andress at 145 Logan Lachowitzer at 152 and Colbey Steeke at 220. Six others qualified for state by finishing in the top four of their weight class. They were Carlos Martinez who finished second at 120, Braden Kline second at 126, Cale Schalesky third at 132, Ethan Anderson third at 160, Isaac Anderson second at 170 and Jacob Schalesky second at 195. Two matches that were very interesting were the Carlos Martinez/Jeremy Leintz of BeulahHazen and the Logan Lachowitzer/Kyle Cook of Watford City matches. Leintz has beat Martinez the past two times they have met by scores of 9-1 and 7-1. But Martinez gave him a run for his money and only lost 6-5 in the championship match. Leintz is currently the No. 2 seeded wrestler at 120 for the state tourney. Martinez is seeded No. 8. Cook had defeated Lochowitzer by fall and 6-4 in their last two meetings. Lachowitzer completely dominated this time by a 19-5 decision. Night Hawks head coach Randy Burwick was named Region 4 Coach of the Year.

Steeke and Killdeer’s Derek Tabor shared the senior athlete of the year award. Tabor placed first at 170 pounds. Bowman County had two champions in Clayton Mattern at 132 and Jacob Ruggles at 138. They qualified nine total for the state tourney.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on Southwest N.D. Sports By Sheldon Christenson For The Record

The Night Hawk wrestling team has been seeded No. 2 for the State Dual Tournament. Carrington is seeded No. 1, Lisbon No. 3 and Central Cass No. 4. On Feb. 18 it will be Carrington vs Minot Ryan and Central Cass vs Beulah-Hazen in the upper bracket. In the bottom bracket it will be Hettinger/ Scranton RTH vs Linton/HMB and Lisbon vs Velva. Talking with head wrestling coach Randy Burwick, and one of his assistants, Trevor Steeke, I

was told that Colbey Steeke now has 187 wins, just seven wins away from breaking Kayle Dangerud’s record of 193 wins. Of those 187 wins, 100 were via the pin. Steeke will have a good chance of breaking the win record at the state tourney. Of the 11 Night Hawk wrestlers who qualified for the individual state tourney, nine are seeded. Kyle Burwick at 113 and Colbey Steeke at 220 are both seeded No. 1, Alec Andress at 145 is seeded No. 3, Mason DeFoe at 106 is seeded No. 5, Jacob Schalesky at 195 is seeded No. 6, Logan Lachowitzer at 152 and Cale Schalesky at 132 are both seeded No. 7 and Carlos Martinez at 120 and Isaac Anderson at 170 are both seeded No. 8. In girls basketball, McIntosh (S.D.) defeated Hettinger-Scranton 43-36 on Feb. 15 to end the

Night Hawks girls regular season. McIntosh improved their record to 13-4 while the Night Hawks fell to 6-15. The Night Hawks are scheduled to have their regional play-in game on Feb 19. It looks like they may be at Mott-Regent for that game. Hettinger-Scranton boys basketball team is still receiving votes in the latest Class B basketball poll. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - Feb. 18-20, State Wrestling Tourney at Fargo - Feb. 19, Girls Varsity Basketball Region Play in Game, TBD - Feb. 22, 23 & 25, Region 7 Girls Basketball Tourney - Feb. 26, Boys Varsity Basketball vs Beach at Scranton See you at the games.

Weekly Vikings Roundup By Jordan Wright For The Record

Now that the Super Bowl is over, it’s time to turn our attention back to the Vikings. After winning the NFC North title after an 11-5 season, the Vikings were a few plays away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs. Although the season was cut short, the Vikings still exceeded expectations and will be back in 2016 looking to take the next step. For the next six weeks, I will be looking back at the roster, examining the positions to find weaknesses as well as strengths. Quarterbacks An NFL team is only as good as their quarterback. While that adage isn’t always correct, it’s safe to say that if you have a good quarterback and at least an average supporting cast, you have the makings of a good team. Taking a look at the tape, it is clear the Vikings are in good hands (or rather, gloves) with Bridgewater. Teddy Bridgewater played 1,069 out of a possible 1,097 (97 percent) offensive snaps in 2015, finishing the year with 3,231 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. Teddy also had 192 yards on the ground and 3 rushing touchdowns. Bridgewater finished the season as Pro Football Focus’ 13th rated quarterback. He showed tremendous growth when comparing his rookie year to

his sophomore campaign. His ability to throw with accuracy, touch and anticipation far outweighs whatever slight he might have in the arm strength department. Not to mention, he is only 23 years old. Bridgewater is under contract through the next two seasons and the Vikings will have a fifth year option for the 2018 season. With one Pro Bowl under his belt, and another year in Norv Turner’s offense, it’s easy to imagine Teddy continuing to progress and being rewarded with a healthy contract extension in the future. Shaun Hill only saw the field 28 times in the 2015 season, but his real value is behind the scenes. Hill is a great mentor to Teddy, and is still under contract through the 2016 season. Taylor Heinike is under contract through the 2017 NFL season, but at this point he is just a developmental project. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Vikings bring in competition for Heinike this offseason, either by using a late draft pick or signing a young quarterback in free agency. Running Backs Adrian Peterson led the NFL with 1,485 yards on 327 carries (4.5 yards per carry) while also chipping in 11 touchdowns. Peterson has shown that he still has what it takes to dominate the NFL, although he turns 31 in March. However, even though he led the league in yards, he was only PFF’s 37th ranked running back, thanks in large part to his horrible pass blocking. Peterson is under contract for two more seasons. This year, his cap hit will be a manageable $11 million, but that number raises to $18 million in 2017, which is a lot

to pay for a running back nearing the end of his career, even if that player is one of the best to ever play the position. Jerick McKinnon only received 52 carries, but still managed to turn those carries into 271 yards (5.2 ypc) and two touchdowns. McKinnon has proven to be an exceptional change of pace back, able to get yards on the ground or catch passes out of the backfield. Jerick is under contract for two more seasons. Matt Asiata carried the ball 29 times for 112 yards (3.9 ypc). Asiata is a free agent this season, and while there is a chance the Vikings bring him back on a cheap contract, my impression is that the Vikings will look to bring in his replacement through the draft. Zach Line played snaps at both full back and tight end and was good at just about everything, yet he wasn’t great at anything. Line is a free agent, and I think the Vikings will look to bring him back, but he is not a priority re-sign. Overall, the quarterback and running back position is in good hands. Teddy might not be near the “elite” conversation, he is steadily progressing and will look to take a huge step forward in year three. At running back, Peterson will be back for at least one more season. Behind him, McKinnon will get plenty of chances to see the field, but it’s up to him to prove he has what it takes to take over for Peterson once the moment arrives.

FBLA Members enjoy a luncheon on Friday to end a successful FBLA Week! Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) students at HHS joined over 6,000 chapters nationwide and celebrated national FBLA-PBL Week, February 8-12, 2016.

Sharp lady writes poetry, recites it from memory By Sheldon Christenson For The Record

I drive part time for South West Transit which normally involves driving people to Bismarck, Dickinson or Rapid City, S.D. Most of the passengers are senior citizens who have a scheduled medical appointment or needing to board a plane. I have met some very interesting people but one young lady really stood out. She is 90 years young but her mind is extremely sharp. The first time I met her was on a trip to Dickinson along with two other ladies and they started talking about this lady’s sharp memory. She writes poems and can recite many of them from memory. They convinced

OUR TEAM

The season’s not over, there are games to be played. Three pointers and free throws still to be made. Winning is easy and winning is fun. Losing is hard work when there are games to be won. Tanner and Hayden, Isaiah and Sam, Brandon, Nevan, Thomas and Paxton play hard to excel. Jaxon, Jarad, Tate and both Jordans are eager to make some baskets to make the final score swell. So Night Hawks enjoy the game you love each time you take the floor. You’re always number one to us regardless of the score.

her to recite the poem about last year’s Night Hawk boys basketball team and she proceeded to do so. I had an opportunity to drive her to Rapid City a few weeks ago and convinced her to update the poem for this year’s team and I would get it into the paper. She was hesitant at first but later decided to do so. Her name is Myrtle Dangerud and along with her husband Orville they owned Orville’s Implement dealership in Hettinger from 1962 to 2000. Sometime during that time the name changed to K&K, named after their sons, Kerry and Kevin. They also have a daughter named Cynthia. This is her new poem for this year’s team.
