EARLY WARNING

West River COUNTY PURCHASES Health NEW WARNING SIRENS Services hosts A YEAR IN REVIEW Scrubs Camp

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor

Thanks to a grant, communities in Adams County will soon have an updated alert system. New sirens were recently installed in the towns of Bucyrus, Haynes, Hettinger and Reeder. A FY15 State Homeland Security Grant allowed the county to purchase the new alert sirens, and thanks to the efforts, Haynes and Bucyrus will have them for the first time. The sirens were placed near Milwaukee Avenue in Bucyrus, next to the city hall in Haynes, at the armory, fire hall and Ryan Hvelka Park in Hettinger and at the fire hall in Reeder. Most of the existing warning sirens were over 50 years old and were starting to become sirens in Reeder had Byunreliable; SHELDON CHRISTENSON stopped working altogether For the Pioneer about a year ago.

After the set up work is finished, the county will begin testing, followed by declaring the sirens operational. Michelle Gaylord, Adams County Emergency Services Manager, said that they

IN BRIEF

The Alliance for Aviation Across America Commends Governor Dalrymple for Declaring March ‘Aviation Month’

Libertarian Roland Riemers has filed for North Dakota State Auditor

The Alliance for Aviation Across America today commended Governor Dalrymple for proclaiming March “Aviation Month.” According to a recently published economic impact study from 2016, general aviation airports in North Dakota account for $121 million in total economic output annually. “Governor Dalrymple’s proclamation raises awareness about the importance of general aviation and local airports in North Dakota, and we thank him for his efforts,” said Selena Shilad, Executive Director of the Alliance for Aviation Across America. “General aviation has a dramatic economic impact, boosting local economies, supporting agriculture, and connecting rural communities in North Dakota.” “Business aviation is critical to helping companies to manage their daily operations, expand their customer base, and unlock opportunities in the global

Roland Riemers has run as a Libertarian for a number of offices over the years, and in 2014 was able to obtain 5.3 percent of the statewide vote for Secretary of State and thus established the Libertarian Party as the third recognized political party in North Dakota. Up until 2015 Riemers held the position of state chairman for the North Dakota Libertarian Party, and is currently the Region 6 representative for 9 states to the National Libertarian Committee as well as a North Dakota delegate to the National Libertarian Convention in Orlando in May of 2016. Riemers has a long history of promoting reforms and civil rights in North Dakota. He has actively promoted shared parenting, father’s rights, court reform, criminal justice reform that stresses rehabilitation instead of increased warehousing, a woman’s right to birth control and abortion, gun rights, voting rights for ex-cons, free speech on public property, treating drug addiction as a medical problem instead of a criminal matter, ending gender bias in the courts, and in general promotes government based on justice and fairness instead of irrational fears or political self-interest. The Office of State Auditor is a responsible for auditing state agencies, state universities, local governments and federal royalty payments from oil and gas leases and thus is the watch-dog of last resort to make sure the public’s money is properly spent. Riemers feels to be effective as a watch-dog on the public purse, the State Auditor should not be part of the ruling political establishment. The State Auditor can evaluate department performance as well as its record keeping practices, and Riemers would seek to do more performance evaluating and give less attention to strict accounting for every penny spent.

Health Insurance Marketplaces nationwide signed up nearly 4.9 million new customers for 2016 coverage during the third Open Enrollment period. In total, about 12.7 million people signed up or automatically renewed their plans for 2016 coverage, of which about 40 percent were new customers. In North Dakota, approximately 7,500 were new customers to the Marketplace. “Almost 5 million Americans were new to the Health Insurance Marketplaces in 2015 and about 20 million uninsured Americans have gained coverage because of the Affordable Care Act,” said HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. “This year’s customers are more engaged, savvier and better

New customers came in earlier because they wanted a full years coverage, and 70 percent of existing customers came back to shop and actively selected a plan.” Customers in North Dakota were highly active and engaged shoppers. People in North Dakota who switched issuers as well as plans saved $14 per month, or nearly $169 annually for the same level of coverage. Nationally, about 66 percent of people who changed plans also changed issuers, and 31 percent of people who changed plans also changed their metal level. As with past years, the vast majority of Marketplace customers signed up for coverage and recieved tax credits. More than 8 in

Governor Dalrymple and Director of North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, Kyle Wanner, for their work supporting general aviation and community airports throughout the state.” “General aviation businesses are critical to the economy of North Dakota, supporting jobs and competitiveness,” stated Thomas L. Hendricks, President and CEO of the National Air Transportation Association. “NATA and our member companies in North Dakota thank Governor Dalrymple for recognizing general aviation’s vital contributions to the state.” “Helicopters and other general aviation aircraft are essential to supporting medical and emergency services, land management, firefighting, ranching and farming,” Matthew Zuccaro, President and CEO of the Helicopter Association International (HAI). “We thank the Governor for supporting this important lifeline for communities across our nation.”

10 individuals (10.5 million) who selected or were automatically enrolled in a 2016 plan nationwide qualify for a tax credit. In North Dakota, the average tax credit was $262 per month, or 65% percent of the gross premium, and the average premium after tax credits was $142 per month. In North Dakota 60% of customers had the option of selecting a 2016 Marketplace plan with a premium of $75 or less per month after tax credits. More than ever, Marketplace customers are engaged and satisfied with their coverage. About 60 percent (2.4 million) of new enrollees in HealthCare.gov states signed up for January 1 coverage compared to about 40 percent (1.9 million) of new enrollees

last year. Instead of waiting until the last moment, as we saw in previous years, people signed up for coverage by the first deadline because they wanted coverage to start as soon as possible. Finally, this year, 3.5 million people ages 18 to 34 signed up for coverage nationwide. In HealthCare. gov states, 2.7 million young people ages 18 to 34 signed up for 2016 coverage (28 percent of HealthCare.gov state plan selections). However, among new enrollees, 33 percent (1.3 million) were ages 18 to 34. That’s higher than last year when 31 percent of new consumers (0.8 million) were ages 18 to 34 in HealthCare.gov states. The overall percentage of plan selections for those ages remains stable. Both Thompson and Burwick said they were notified via a letter from the activities association, though Thompson said Mrs. Joyce, the music teacher at Hettinger, told her she would be invited to the event when she won her award.

It will be on television at 7:30 p.m. CST (6 p.m. MT), and streamed on the North Dakota High School Activity Association’s website.

Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts. Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly fell behind 12-0. On top

of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25. With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-

26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points. They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied. The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot. Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the

Nighthawks. Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points. The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53. Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks. The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the

Harding County girls who came in with a 1-3 record. The Hettinger/Scranton girls also jumped out to an early lead as they were head 16-1 after the first stop, and 25-15 at half. They held on in the second half although being outscored 2421 to pull off their second win of the season to go along with five losses.

WRHS Foundation Raises $1,025 at Lemmon’s KBJM Farm & Home Show By TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation Fund Dev. Officer The Foundation at West River Health Services attended the KBJM Farm & Home Show at the Beeler Center in Lemmon this past Friday, March 11th. With a booth full of balloons for the kids and Sylvia Engle’s homemade pies for the adults, the Foundation was ready to tell its story. For a $10 or more gift to the Foundation, Lemmon area folk could choose where their funds would go – WRHS Lemmon Clinic, WRHS Scholarship Fund, MRI Campaign, Ambulance Fund, or “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign at Western Horizons Care Center. Plus, for their $10 investment, they were entered into an hourly drawing for one of Sylvia Engle’s famous “homemade from scratch”

pies – everything from apple to banana cream to blackberry rhubarb to coconut cream, to rhubarb custard -- and of course, LEMMON! A special THANK YOU goes out to Sylvia Engle for all the awesome pies – especially from the lucky drawn winners – Judy Stevahn, Phyllis Pearson, Brett Odenbach, Eleanor Tomac, Cathleen Rychner, Susie Dauwen, Don Merriman, Jerry Kling and Dr. Mark & Lenae Kristy. Overall, the Foundation raised $1,025 from 38 individual gifts – ranging from $10 to $150! Since Jerry Kling gave the largest gift of the day ($150), he also received a beautiful “Cowboys Fan Club” wreath, in addition to his banana cream pie! Bill Hourigan, Sheri Uecker and Dr. Kristy were the next largest contributors. Overall, the amounts gifted to each fund were as

follows: “One Room At a Time Campaign” ($410), Ambulance Fund ($195), WRHS Lemmon Clinic ($160), Scholarship Fund ($130), MRI Campaign ($130) In addition to the adult gifts and pie winners, we also had a few drawings for kid’s toys: Keegan Kling and Karly Riley were the recipients of the toys. Numerous kids walked away with way cool balloons of their favorite characters as well. Thank you to Mike and Grant Schweitzer at KBJM Radio Station for hosting this terrific event for the surrounding area. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who gave a little – to add up to a lot – for the WRHS Foundation to continue to improve our equipment and facilities for your healthcare leader in the area – West River Health Services. See ya next year!

from professionals actually working in a rural setting. Of the freshman and sophomore classes between the two schools, 50 students attended the all-day event. There were 11 different sessions, and the students attended 10 of them. “It was a variety of healthcare careers from around the area,” Ness said. The speakers included: Joshua Ranum, MD - Internal Medicine, John Kludt, OD - Optometry, Lindy West, DVM – Veterinarian, Alana Stadheim, R.Ph Pharmacist, Cherie Huiner, RT, (R) (M) & Ashley Flynn, RT (R) - Registered Imaging Technologists, Tara Bieber, RN – Public Health Nurse, Tom Braaten, MT, (ASCP) Lab Manager and Orby Reyes, MT, (ASCP) I – Blood Bank Supervisor, Alex Thompson, PT, DPT, CSCS and Lynly Hebert, MS, OTR/L – Physical Therapy, Clay Makelky, Paramedic; Brandi Kaitfors, EMT; and Jay Skaarvold, Ambulance Driver –Ambulance, Darin Seamands, Chris Parnow, David Timm, Kent Brackel & Steve Turner – Volunteer Fire Fighters, Mark Nelson, DDS; Carla Schneider and Suzanne Doerr, RDH – Dental Office. The stations were placed in various rooms around the armory and included a

firefighting demonstration, lectures on optometry and a station that allowed students to practice skin stitching on a chicken breast, among other things. “The armory ended up being a wonderful facility for [Scrubs Camp], it worked out really well,” Ness said. “There was a lot of room, the break up of the different rooms worked out really good.” The students were placed in eight similar sessions through rotations, with the final two being the student’s choice. Speakers took the first few minutes of their presentation to talk about what they do, what type of work is involved, and what type of education was required to work in their particular field. After the introduction, the students were asked to participate. The long-term hope of the camp is that students will venture into medical professions, and return to their rural roots to practice. But there are some short term benefits this type of exposure can bring too. Ness said that the exposure can give the students a sense of which direction to take after high school. By knowing the type of work and education the student

It could also dictate what types of electives the students select before graduating high school. Ness said that the whole day went smooth, and she thought it said a lot about the students of Hettinger and Scranton Schools. She was also very appreciative of the speakers that took time to participate in the event. “We were incredibly thankful to all the presenters,” Ness said.

It’s The People. MEET YOUR HOMETOWN LENDING TEAM

On Friday, March 11, the FACS I Class did an art project with Mrs. Kennedy’s third grade class. In this project, we showed the kids how to make and design a tree by tracing their hands and arms. Each of us students had a step that he or she presented to the third

graders. Each student was responsible for guiding a table of third graders from one step to the next. Throughout the art project, the FACS students asked various questions about the development of trees. We emphasized the fact that no two trees are alike. This al-

lowed their creativity and uniqueness to show throughout the project. This project was able to encourage learning in a fun and creative way. Submitted by: Jesse Qualls, Sage Ohm, Henry Hanson, Kalyn Schalesky and Cale Schalesky – FACS I class

Scranton student raises funds in honor of brother

“How many people does it take to make a difference? One.”

By BRYCE MARTIN ND Group Editor

Brotherly love was the winner at Scranton Public School last month when an elementary student put his jump roping skills to the test to raise funds in honor of his brother who is suffering from a debilitating disease. By the end of the fundraiser, Tripp Mack, 7, of Scranton had successfully raised $1,464 for the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart school-wide fundraiser in February. Though he supported a wide-reaching charity, Mack helped raise funds with a certain person in mind: his brother. Mack’s brother, Abraham Musonda, has undergone five open-heart surgeries since being born without a left ventricle of his heart, a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Musonda, 15, a sophomore at Scranton High School, has endured multiple complications from his disease and last year the family had to be away for a good part of the summer. The boys’ mother, Deidre

Abraham Musonda, 15, (left), with his brother, Tripp Mack, 7, (R). Mack, who works as a paraprofessional at the school, said when her son, Tripp, found out the American Heart Association helped people like his brother, he wanted to be part of the fundraiser. “He wanted to help,” she said. Deidre Mack explained Musonda’s condition as ba-

sically having half a heart. Unfortunately, his disease is worsening, taking its toll on his liver and leading to a Stage 3 diagnosis of fibrosis. She said her son might have to be placed on a heart donor list in the near future, but doctors are doing everything possible to avoid that. In the meantime, people want to make a difference for Musonda, his family, and people around the country suffering from similar ailments. “We often ask our students, ‘How many people does it take to make a difference?’” said Karyn Chiapella, a special education teacher at Scranton Public Schools. “And they know the answer: One.” Not only did Mack make a difference for his school community, Chiapella said, but for his brother. “The amount of support Tripp received for his brother and the AHA was unbelievable,” she said. “We live in an awesome community with the greatest friends, family and kids and for Tripp, we could not be prouder of this kind and generous young man.”

Western ND agencies begins movement to clean up Highway 85 By BRYCE MARTIN ND Group Editor

Several agencies in North Dakota are capturing on the downturn in oil, all in the name of keeping western North Dakota clean. Since the impact from the Bakken Oil boom began, Highway 85 became a hotbed of truck and semi traffic. With the huge increase in traffic unfortunately also came an influx in littering. Cal Klewin, executive director of the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway Association, has been working to get multiple agencies and groups together for a Highway 85 beautification project that would focus on cleaning the often-neglected dominant roadway. The agencies plan to hold the cleanup week from April 25 through April 30. “It’s a mess between Watford City and Williston,” said Lyn James, president of the Bowman City Commission. That area was its original target, but with the aid of several southwestern North Dakota agencies and organizations, the cleanup project was extended to encompass the highway as it travels to the South Dakota border. The project is in cooperation with the North Dakota Dept. of Transportation.

The NDDOT will provide the garbage bags then will pick up the filled bags from the sides of the highway. Understandably, with the road stretching nearly 250 miles, it is quite a task. Klewin is also searching for large groups and private citizens to help. So far the project has attracted interest from the city of Bowman, Bowman County, the cities of Williston, Belfield, Watford City and organizations such as the North Dakota Petroleum Council, N.D. League of Cities, North Dakota Motor Carriers, N.D. Retailers, N.D. Association of General Contractors, Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation, North Dakota Association of Oil and Gas Producing Counties, North Dakota Tourism, McKenzie County

OBITUARIES BETTY WILLIAMS

Betty Marie Williams age 86 of Denver, Colo., formerly of rural Hettinger, N.D. passed away on the morning of March 11, 2016. Betty was diagnosed with cancer in the summer of 2013. This long battle of cancer led her to her journey with God. Betty passed away at her daughter’s home in Denver. Betty was born in Lemmon, S.D. on March 18, 1929. Betty was the daughter of Robert and Nora Hoffman. She had five siblings, Paula Johnson of Lemmon, S.D., Rhonki Shockley or Twin Falls, Idaho, Rodney Hoffman of Morristown, S.D. and Alan Hoffman of Lemmon, S.D. Betty and her five siblings were raised on the family farm west of Lemmon. Betty attended rural elementary school and attended Lemmon High School; Betty excelled in her studies and she graduated with honors. Betty married Ray Williams of rural Haynes, N.D. on June 5, 1948. They made their home on Williams Ranch south of Haynes. She was a devoted wife and mother of Sara and Russell. She worked inside and outside the home with chores. She had a love for gardening, oil paintings and singing in the church choir. Betty was especially good with numbers and bookkeeping.

Betty and Ray retired in 1992 and moved to Bismarck. They later purchased a home in Desert Hot

Springs, Calif. for the winter months. Together Betty and Ray enjoyed traveling, playing cards and fishing. Betty was preceded in death by her parents Robert

and Nora Hoffman, her husband Ray Williams and infant son Vaughn Leroy Williams. Survivors include daughter and son-in-law Sara and Jim D’Incecco of Denver, Colo., Sara and Jim’s two sons and families, Eric and Amy D’Incecco, Mario D’Incecco all of Denver, Russell and Roberta Williams of rural Hettinger, N.D. and Russell and Roberta’s children Lexy and Reece Williams both of Hettinger. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held at Williams Ranch later on this summer.

That has seemed to be less frequent in the last few years. In North Dakota it is against the law to litter and if caught a person could face a minimum fine of $100. If litter amounts to more than one cubic foot in volume or consisted of furniture or a major appliance, the offense is a class B misdemeanor, which carries a maximum penalty of 30 days imprisonment, a fine of $1,500, or both. Those interested in volunteering for the cleanup week should contact Cal Klewin at 701-523-6171 or by email at cal@trexpressway.com.

OPINION Hat Tips Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Record

G’day to ya laddie! That’s how Grandpa Jack, who was a true Irishman, greeted many people. I had a lot of friends who would only see Jack maybe once a year. And they would be impressed because “Jack remembered me!” Because he called them laddie. As my regular readers are aware, St. Patrick’s Day is a pretty big day in our house. That’s what happens when you marry a Murphy. We become O’Meyers. We switch from Bud Light to Guinness. Or from Jack Daniels to Jamison whiskey. As Grandpa used to say, “God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world!” This past week a U.S. astronaut returned to earth after spending nearly a year in orbit! Which reminded me of two other famous astronauts who were launched into orbit from the County of Cork in the Emerald Isle. The Irish are worldrenowned explorers. Contrary to what is taught I many schools, many believe

Trumpling the First Amendment the Irish were the first to discover the new world. If you can call discovering a continent that had been inhabited by natives for thousands of years “discovering”. Anyway, Mike and Paddy were selected to be the first explorers to be launched on a mission to the sun. As they were lying in their dark cockpits, waited to be blasted into space by a rocket propelled by an ethanol blended fuel made from potatoes, Mike turned to Paddy and asked, “Won’t it be awful hot on the sun?” Paddy turned to Mike with a look of disgust on his face, “Mike, ya bloomin idiot. That’s why we are going at night!” Which reminds me of the story of the ventriloquist who had this Irish dummy on his knee. He was telling about the time Paddy fell into the vat at the Guinness brewery and drowned, after getting out three times to pee. This gentleman jumped up and said, “You tell one more joke making us Irish out to be bumbling fools and I’ll come up and open a can of whoop ass on you!” The ventriloquist began to apologize and the man stopped him. “I wasn’t talking to you! I’m talking to that blessed idiot on your knee!” Have a Happy St. Pat’s Day, Dean O’Meyer

expecting the gophers to pay for it. Trump has proclaimed a national database for Muslims is in order. Tattoo shops would be busy as the numbers are etched on the wrists of millions of Muslims, like the good old days in Germany when the Jews were “the problem.” A lot of non-Muslims thought it was great, until Trump went after Seventh-Day Adventists and the Pope himself. Methodists are hunkering down. Lutherans are nervous. Trump made so many dog-whistle statements denigrating AfricanAmericans, former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke excitedly leapt from the shadows, like a ghost on a pogo stick, to endorse him. In one exit poll of Trump voters, 20 percent agreed Lincoln should never have freed the slaves. Another 35 percent were against soap. One of the biggest whipping boys has been the press. Trump cruelly mocked a disabled New York Times reporter and ratcheted up hatred of the media, who occasionally tell uncomfortable truths spoiled rich boys aren’t used to hearing. But overall, Trump’s had it easy. Along the way, an occasional populist truth has wandered out of Trump’s mouth, like a breadcrumb of hope for those who realize this narcissist might actually become president. He gleefully exposed the incestuous relationship between corporations and campaigns.

That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

It started out as a sideshow starring an orange Oompa Loompa who just didn’t have the time for civility, decorum and decency, branded as political correctness. He turned the process on its head and when Fox News, one of the Dr. Trumpensteins who created this monster, tried to take him down in the first debate, they ended up on the canvas faster than you can say Ronda Rousey. By the time Fox recovered from the misogynistic attack on their favorite blondling, Trump, having already declared Mexicans rapists and murderers, was off to the (other) races. There was a brief interruption when El Chapo reportedly offered $100 million for Trump’s scalp. I’m not sure what kind of pelt Trump has on his head, but I’m pretty sure you can get one just like it at Hobby Lobby, or off the dash of a pimped-out ‘68 Impala I saw at a car show one time. El Chapo, who had tunneled tons of drugs and ultimately, himself, under the border, is the living embodiment of the futility of Trump’s Wall. It’s like putting up a three-strand of barbed wire fence to keep the gophers out. And

Hillary Clinton is still trying to explain why Wall Street paid her millions for speeches. No need for transcripts, I suspect they went pretty much like this: “I would like to propose a toast to money! And now, goodnight.” That’s the system of legalized bribery we need to change. But we don’t need to burn down the country to do it. Many derived guilty pleasure watching Trumpublicans bash Fox News, as the network stars took on the disheveled look of a 4-yearold on the end of a leash with a runaway St. Bernard. Meanwhile at MSNBC, the great enablers, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, acted like concubines who give the man a foot massage every night. Now, the guy who has forcefully removed people from his rallies before they uttered a word of protest, has hypocritically claimed his freedom of speech was being trampled in Chicago, when he had finally baited enough people into putting on a decent protest—a manufactured conflict. Trump wants free coverage on public airwaves, but he still wants to call it a private event. He took his bows for calling off the rally, which one pundit opined was like an arsonist wanting credit for dialing 9-1-1. Even the wimpy blowback from the media Trump has received has ruffled his dashboard. He wants tougher libel laws—censorship, really—because he is too thin-skinned to take it.

Politicians get very little protection from criticism, for good reason. That’s the line between a dictatorship and a democracy. As imperfect as the press may be, pray you don’t have to find out what it’s like to live without it. Last Friday, we saw echos of of our political past— dark days. The violence Trump encourages from his bully pulpit could become a wildfire, and that is just what he wants. These are dangerous times for a country that has always managed the peaceful transfer of power. It’s hard to ignore the parallels between Trump and the orchestrated violence that put Hitler in power. Suddenly, Ted Cruz looks less punchable. Trump is the guy Republicans in North Dakota chose as their presidential favorite in a recent straw poll conducted through Kevin Cramer’s campaign website. Meanwhile, a growing number of alarmed Republicans nationwide are standing up against Trump—Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Norm Coleman, Christie Todd Whitman and Lindsay Graham among them. Better to lose an election than the GOP—or the country itself. Republicans in North Dakota need to do the right thing, too. I suspect most won’t, because they are afraid of the power they might lose if Trump wins. And if Trump does win, well, at least the oil trains will explode on time. © Tony Bender, 2016

Prisoner Releases Will Not Be All Profit money. While focusing on savings, it would be unwise to disregard the cost of recidivism. According to the latest estimates, 39 percent of prisoners commit new crimes and return to prison. With intensive preparation and supervision, the hope is that this level of recidivism would be reduced significantly. The amount of reduction, however, would be determined by the success of the program. In our eagerness to reduce the cost of incarceration, we need to recollect about what happened with the reckless release of folks with mental health problems from the Jamestown Hospital. In response to terms such as “warehousing” and “least restrictive environment,” we released patients who were not ready for mainstreaming. . As a result we have had a number of disoriented mentally ill struggling to survive in flop houses, homeless shelters and under highway bridges. Some of them would have appreciated the more restrictive environment of three meals and a warm bed. In the federal Second Chance prisoner release initiative, program managers identified a litany of bar-

Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

The mushrooming cost of keeping North Dakota wrongdoers in confinement has led to the creation of a 16-person study committee to consider methods of reducing the prison population. A number of states have claimed substantial savings by releasing prisoners into a probation and parole system that emphasizes rehabilitation. With the loss of $1 billion in oil-related revenue, the state is ready to look at anything to save

riers that confronted their participants, including “low levels of education, poor work histories, substance abuse, mental illness, weak personal support networks, and generally poor coping skills.” Depending on the nature of the crimes involved, all of these would have to be addressed to achieve any degree of success in an early release plan. Thinking through each of these barriers will force us to appreciate the challenges – and the cost involved. Depending on the individuals, we may have to bring up their levels of education, develop new orientations to work, redirect substance abuse, cure mental illness, develop support networks and improve coping skills. Dealing with any of these will require a ton of money from state and local governments and a conversion of anti-social personalities. In some cases, rehabilitation will fail and early releases will fall out of the program to continue a life of crime. This recidivism will be expensive and its costs should be deducted from savings. Reliable figures on the cost of crimes are difficult to find. One author’s manuscript

at the National Institute of Health estimated that all relevant costs for a sexual assault was $41,000, for aggravated assault $19,500, robbery $21,400, and a household burglary $6,200. The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution in Washington points out that poor people will bear the brunt of crimes committed by recidivists. Folks with incomes below $15,000 are three times more likely to become victims than people with incomes of $75,000 or more. Another relevant fact is that more crime goes unreported than is reported, meaning that recidivists would be wreaking more havoc than statistics will indicate. The shift from incarceration to recidivism also shifts the economic consequences. Incarceration appears in county and state budgets; the cost of recidivism will be borne by victims. So while the state will end up saving money, victims will be paying new costs. That’s called privatization. The whole idea of rehabilitation is meritorious. However, the state will need to fund rehabilitation programs adequately, to be cautious in its releases, and to accept responsibility for damages to victims.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Sheila Schafer Passes Away Medora and North Dakota to say good bye to an icon

The Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation (TRMF) and the many members of the Schafer family sadly announced today the passing of Sheila Schafer. She was 90. Memorial details will be forthcoming as family and friends from around the nation are notified of the passing of our beloved Sheila.

Sheila was born May 17, 1925, as Sheila Chinn Limond and spent much of her youth surrounded by some of the most talented big band and jazz musicians in the country that her father had contracted to perform in Fargo’s Crystal Ballroom. She studied drama and starred in several stage productions herself. Sheila was the star of every room and the light of every gathering. When she and Harold Schafer married in 1965, it was the love of a lifetime for both of them. They brought two families together into one and celebrated their love for one another by renewing their vows over 25 times through the years. And they shared their love with so many – from family mem-

bers, to friends, celebrities, and the people of North Dakota who they especially hoped to share their happiness with. When the Medora Musical opened for the first time in 1965, just days after they returned from their honeymoon, Sheila and Harold were the faces of the new, family-friendly show and of Historic Medora. Together with their family, Sheila and Harold rebuilt many parts of historic Medora by investing large sums of their fortune,

eventually donating the entirety of their Medora holdings for the creation of the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation. The dream they strived to achieve together was to offer good, clean family entertainment in a place where families could be together. They worked tirelessly and excitedly on that dream together until Harold’s passing in 2001, when Sheila became the remaining heart of Medora. The dream they shared together, the Medora Musical, celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2015, with Sheila Schafer attending many of

the summer’s 100 performances with her trademark excitement, hooting and hollering, and “Hi Band” waves to help start the show. Sheila Schafer was truly the heart and soul of Medora for many, many years and today we lost one of the world’s most wonderful, generous,

and loving people. She will be missed deeply, but her legacy of love and life will be remembered and carried on through her many loving family members, her thousands of friends, and the millions of people she touched through her time on this Earth.

A memorial service will be held for Ethel Johnson at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Reeder on Saturday, March 19th at 10:30 am. Ethel passed away at the age of 95 on January 31, 2016 at West River Regional Medical Center. After the memorial service, a luncheon will be held at the church. All are welcome to attend.

MOM & DAD PROVIDED FOR YOU. NOW IT’S

YOUR TURN. When you were young, your Mom & Dad did a lot for you – they provided shelter, clothing, food, spending money, maybe an education. They taught you right from wrong and good from bad. They stood up for you when you needed standing up for – and they let you learn, when you had lots of learning to do. Now it’s your turn to pay it forward. None of us ever wants to place our parents, our aunts or uncles, our siblings, or our spouses, into a Care Center situation. But sometimes we have no choice, depending on their needs and on our location. Therefore, we all want to place them in as nice of a Care Center as possible. Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger has recently been designated a 5-Star Nursing Home by Nursing Home Compare, so the level of care is outstanding. Of course, being right next to a TOP 20 in the Nation Critical Access Hospital, a fully staffed Clinic and Emergency Room isn’t bad either. Nine years ago, Lantis Corporation up and left Hettinger without a nursing home. Our area community said we needed these services for our elderly. We, at

West River Health Services and the WRHS Foundation, agreed and put $1.5 million into the purchase of Western Horizons Care Center. Ever since, we have been busy staffing and making improvements including reflooring, repainting, and redecorating the main congregating areas, the activity room and the hallways; adding new nursing stations; putting in a new furnace; a new call system, etc. Now we are in the process of trying to raise $145,500 to renovate 42 individual resident rooms – for new flooring, paint, lighting, furniture, decorations, sinks, toilets! It’s appropriately called the “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign for Western Horizons Care Center. We, like you, believe it is important that our area elderly have a nice and comfortable place to live. We certainly would appreciate if you’d consider giving toward our awesome renovations at Western Horizons Care Center. Mom & Dad might need it, or maybe Uncle Chuck or Aunt Esther, your brother Joe or sister Sue, your wife – or maybe you, yourself. To learn more about this worthwhile effort to improve our Care Center, please contact Ted at 701-567-3666. He’ll be more than happy to come visit with you about your gift. After all, it’s your turn.

Consider Giving.

SPORTS Analyzing the state ‘B’ boys Hettinger Huskies working hard again this year basketball tournament By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record Five of the top ten teams in the final state Class B basketball poll qualified for state. They were Four Winds/Minnewaukan (1), Our Redeemers (2), Shiloh (3), Strasburg/Zeeland (8) and Dickinson Trinity (9). Unranked Grafton knocked off Hillsboro/Central Valley (6) and Larimore (5) in Region 2, Four Winds eliminated St John (7) in Region 4, unranked New Town upset Parshall (10) in Region 8, and Trinity got by Beulah (4) in Region 7. The Grafton Spoilers could be the “Spoilers” for the tournament. After all, they come into the tournament with an 18-6 record and unranked in the final state B poll. They had to win their region play-in game and were only ranked the No. 5 seed in Region 2. During region play they knocked off the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 seeds in their region which included stateranked Hillsboro/CV and Larimore. They play solid defense and nine of their 12-man roster stand 6l-foot to 6-foot 4-inches in height. Shiloh may have their hands full but I’ll give the edge Shiloh. Our Redeemers, a Christian school in Minot, has a tough first game with Strasburg/Zeeland but I believe they will get by them and be one of the finalists. Their

only defeat of the season was a 50-37 loss to Shiloh who they could meet in the semi’s. They did defeat Trinity and Beulah during the regular season. They also have excellent size on the team along with six seniors. Four Winds/Minnewaukan is a team that doesn’t need a shot clock as they love to run-and-gun and have averaged around 84 points a game with four games over a 100. Their lowest scoring game was a 55-51 win over Shiloh. Their only loss was to Trinity by a 64-61 score. Northern Cass comes in with a 18-5 record and has decent size in their lineup, but I’ll give the nod to Four Winds/Minnewaukan. I wasn’t sure where Northern Cass was other than being in Cass County. The school is located in Hunter about 30 miles north of Fargo and students come from Hunter, Arthur, Argusville, Gardner and Grandin. I’ll take Trinity over Kenmare in the final. Trinity knocked off Beulah to earn the state entry from Region 7. Beulah had downed Trinity during the regular season. State-ranked Parshall (10) was upset by New Town in the semi’s of the Region 8 tourney and Kenmare got by New Town in the finals by a score of 83-70. In the semi-finals I’ll go with Our Redeemers over Shiloh and Trinity over Four Winds/M. and then Our Redeemers downing Trinity for the title. Rugby

For The Record Randy Burwick has his young Husky wrestlers working hard on their wrestling skills again this year. They recently competed in the always competitive Dickinson Wrestling Club tourney on March 12 and coach Burwick commented that they did very well. The tournament had 23 teams competing. Team standings are not kept at this level. So far they have been in five or six tournaments. Hettinger will be hosting their second tourney of the season on April 9. He is assisted by numerous adults and his high school wrestlers in teaching and mentoring these young wrestlers. Coach Burwick also commented that the Region 4 teams are planning a kid’s dual tourney on April 2 at Beulah which would be a first. State dual and individual tournaments are scheduled for 25-26 in Bismarck. The Huskies have won the state dual tourney the past two years. 2016 Dickinson Wrestling Club Tournament Results for Hettinger Huskies: Sub Bantam 39-41 - Hudson Gwinup’s place is 2nd and has scored 6.00 team points.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Positional Analysis Weekly Viking Roundup By JORDAN WRIGHT For The Record

For the next several weeks, I will be looking back at the roster, examining the positions to find weaknesses as well as strengths. Today we turn our focus on the linebackers, another group filled with young, impressive players. After years of mediocrity, it’s a welcome change to have a group that instills fear into opposing offensive coordinators. Anthony Barr is quickly becoming one of the best linebackers in the league. If you don’t believe me, maybe you’ll believe Pro Football Focus, who rated Barr (93.4 player grade) as the second best LB in the league behind only Luke Kuechly. Barr is a versatile player who graded positively in run defense, pass coverage and pass rush. Eric Kendricks was only rated as PFF’s 56th (out of 97) linebacker with a player grade of 58.9. However, as a rookie, Kendricks elevated his game every week and all signs point to him becoming a very productive linebacker

in the NFL for years to come. Chad Greenway was rated slightly lower than Kendricks (56.2 player grade, 61st in the league). Greenway is a free agent this offseason, but both the Vikings and Greenway have expressed their desire to have number 52 back in purple and gold next season. If he is brought back, I would expect his playing time to significantly decrease. Edmond Robinson ended the season as the Vikings’ second highest rated linebacker with a player grade of 68.8, although he didn’t play enough to qualify for a ranking. Brandon Watts had a player grade of 58.8, and newly re-signed Audie Cole had the lowest player grade of any Vikings’ linebackers (40.6). The Vikings have also made a few free agency moves. Like most years, the team is taking a methodical approach to free agency, not necessarily signed (and over-paying) for the big name free agents, but rather sitting back and offering reasonable contracts to “second-tier” players. Alex Boone was the biggest signing so far. The guard has played his entire career in San Francisco and has played very well in his time there. If you have time, I suggest heading over to Vikings.com and watch-

ing Boone’s introductory feature. He seems to bring the right attitude to the offensive line and I am looking forward to him competing for a guard spot. Pro Football Focus has an article on their website, grading all the free agency signings so far. Here’s what they had to say about the free agents Minnesota has signed: DT Kenrick Ellis (B): One year, $810k with $25k guaranteed You don’t need to spend big money to make good moves that fill out your roster. Ellis has never got an extended amount of action because wherever he’s ended up there’s been some ridiculous talent in front of him (Damon Harrison and Linval Joseph). But he’s delivered in limited action as an early down run stuffer and if called upon he can do so for the Vikings in 2015. G Alex Boone (B minus): Five years, $26.8 million with $10 million guaranteed Boone hasn’t really built upon his breakout 2012 season and become one of the best guards in the league. But he has always graded positively, and given the money the Vikings have put into this deal they can consider this a good value pickup as they retool their offensive line. LB Audie Cole (B minus): One year, $760k with $40k

guaranteed He caught our eye with some impressive play in 2014 but then got bitten by the injury bug last year. There’s definitely talent there, and given the money involved the Vikings will be happy to get at the very least a solid depth player and a good special teamer. S Andrew Sendejo (D): Four years, $16 million with $3.9 million guaranteed It’s starter money for a guy who isn’t all that likely to start (certainly not in an every-down role), and isn’t all that good. Sendejo had the 85th-highest grade of 88 safeties in 2015 LB Emmanuel Lamur (D): Two years, $6 million with $2.2 million guaranteed While Lamur is familiar with Mike Zimmer from their time in Cincinnati, he really isn’t a guy who has gotten better the more he played. In fact, the past two years he’s really struggled, to the point where he’s really a guy you bring into compete for a spot on a roster, rather than offering enough in guarantees that you’re pretty much obliged to keep him.

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

The Hettinger-Scranton boy’s basketball season ended on a disappointing note as they lost to New England in the quarterfinals. They started out strong with a 20-4 lead in the first quarter but could not stop the Tigers from eventually winning the game. The Night Hawks had defeated the Tigers 66-43 during the regular season. The Night Hawks finished with a 15-7 record, the JV team went 17-5 and the ‘C’ team went 10-3. Congratulations to Night Hawk Hayden Sadowsky for being named the senior athlete in Region 7 and also making the All-Region 7 team along with teammates Isaiah Kludt and Brandon Pierce. Nate Zachmann of Mott-Regent was named the coach of year for Region 7. I’ve been following ND high school sports for over 50 years and Class A high school basketball had a stigma by many as being too slow and at times boring. The Class B boy’s basketball tourney has always been the crowd pleaser and money maker for the NDHSAA. But Class A basketball has been getting more runand-gun for the last few years. This was particularly highlighted during the finals of both the Class A boys and girls championship games on March 12. Both were high scoring with teams going back and forth with lead changes. And just to throw in extra excitement both games went into overtime. State class A champion Fargo Shanley has the 2016 ND Miss Basketball award winner in Sarah Jacobson. Her mother, Pat (Smykowski) Jacobson, won the award back in 1984 for Lidgerwood while Sara’s brother won the Mr. Basketball award in 2013. Nolan Dix and Larry Tibor are coaching the Night Hawk high school baseball team and practice starts March 21. Coach Dix told me they could have around 22 players out. Their opening game is a non-region matchup with the Dickinson JV on April 7 at Dickinson. Harding County (22-1) is in the SD State Class B

basketball tournament at Aberdeen, March 17-19. They will face Irene-Wakonda (19-4) in their first game. Harding Co. defeated Timber Lake, 68-62, in their region championship game. The Night Hawks lost to Harding Co. on Dec. 17 by a 65-62 score. Warner is the only undefeated team in the tourney with a 23-0 record. I contacted Jon Kohler, Hettinger High School Activities Director, if there has been any progress on bringing back the Christmas holiday basketball tourney. He informed me that they have talked about it for a few years. The problem is they can’t find teams who want to come to it. North Dakota State will open its football season on August 27 in a home game versus Charleston Southern. It will be an ESPN televised game. Two students from Hettinger Elementary School qualified to compete in the State Spelling Bee on March 21 in Bismarck. They are Sydney Ellingson and Patrick Schultz. Congratulations to both. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - March 21, First day for high school baseball practice See you at the games!

CORRECTION

Last week Nevan Weaver was incorrectly credited with five rebounds. Only Sam Kludt had five rebounds in the game against New England.
