IN BRIEF

‘Welcome to Leith’ premieres on Prairie Public on April 6 “Welcome to Leith,” the film that attracted a large audience at the recent Fargo Film Festival, will have its television broadcast debut on Prairie Public on Wednesday April 6, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 24, at 1 p.m. CT. The film chronicles the attempted takeover of Leith, N.D., by notorious white supremacist Craig Cobb. As his behavior becomes more threatening, tensions soar, and the residents desperately look for ways to expel their unwanted neighbor. An unsettling exploration of what happens to democratic principles when they’re pushed to the limit, the film asks: In a free society, how do we deal with people whose views we find abhorrent?

Leith is home to 24 people, mostly farmers and ranchers living on a prairie backdrop of sky and wheat. In 2012, an outsider named Craig Cobb moved in and started buying up property. Residents initially welcomed the bearded stranger, figuring he’d moved to be closer to the oil fields, but Cobb had other motives. Posting on racist online forums that he’d found the perfect place to start an all-white enclave, Cobb implored other white supremacists to move to Leith and helped take over the town’s government.

But far from the prairies of North Dakota, Ryan Lenz, an investigator from Montgomery, Alabama’s Southern Poverty Law Center, discovers Cobb’s posts and informs Leith’s mayor, Ryan Schock. Schock, a young rancher and family man who’d lived in Leith all his life, is stunned by the news — and the ensuing media firestorm. Cobb then invites the head of the largest neo-Nazi group in the U.S. to stage a town hall meeting, and nearly 300 people show up. Soon after, a family of fellow white supremacists from Oregon moves in to start fixing up Cobb’s properties.

As the town struggles to fight against one man’s extremist vision, Cobb and his followers ratchet up the intimidation tactics, disrupting city council meetings with shouts of “Sieg Heil” and posting residents’ names and home addresses on racist web sites. But when he takes to patrolling the streets with a loaded rifle and shotgun, residents decide they have had enough and proceed to take matters into their own hands.

Filmmakers Nichols and Walker wanted to tell the complete story of the unfolding events in Leith, and spent time with both the white supremacists and their neighbors.

“Part of what was so fascinating about the story was that what Cobb and his followers were attempting was completely legal,” said Nichols. “Chris and I were captivated

by Cobb’s motivations and the implications of his plan for Leith and what that could mean for other small towns in America if people started following in his footsteps.”

Prairie Public Broadcasting, headquartered in Fargo, is a non-profit member station of PBS and NPR that provides public television services throughout North Dakota, northwestern Minnesota, southern Manitoba, and parts of Montana and South Dakota; public radio service to North Dakota; and educational and technological services to communities and individuals across its coverage area.

Uecker said he was happy with how smooth the event went, and that he was glad to see so many hospital and clinic employees come out and participate.

“We’re just elated about how it all came off, and we’re happy that a lot of the hospital and clinic employees joined us as well,” Uecker said.

Uecker added that he saw people from all over the area come and participate.

Stephanie Zimmermann and Kim Schalesky were both onsite for the the event, signing people up and organizing the proper paperwork. Cindy and Delwayne Olson, and Ben Kautzman drove the vehicles throughout the event.

Uecker previously told The Record that they plan to work on four rooms at

Medicare slashes reimbursement to home medical equipment, supplies and services in 2016 Beginning Jan. 1, 2016 Medicare began phasing in the first of two cuts to Home Medical Equipment, Supplies and Services, covered under MedicarePart B. The second phase of cuts is slated for July 1, 2016. By July 1, 2016, the average cut will be approximately 40 percent according to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

A Fact Sheet released by CMS on November 23, 2015 announced the first of these cuts specifically targeting rural areas across the country. The cuts are based on a Medicare Competitive Bidding program that 244 concerned auction experts warned in a letter to President Obama, stating the program has “obvious flaws.”

These cuts will affect many items Medicare Beneficiaries need such as oxygen, CPAPs, hospital beds, walkers and wheelchairs. This type of equipment is provided so that Medicare beneficiaries can be cared for in their home, in lieu of requiring hospitalization or long term care. This equipment is vital for many to maintain independence and live a better quality of life.

Since no business can survive an average cut of 40%, the providers of

home medical equipment, supplies and services, will be forced to make drastic changes to stay in business.

Many of these changes will impact Medicare beneficiaries’ access to these items and will increase their out of pocket costs.

“Not only does this put seniors at risk of not having access to the equipment, supplies and services they need to be cared for in their home, but it puts them in jeopardy of sizable out-of-pocket expenses like they have never seen before,” says Patrick Naeger, President of the Midwest Association for Medical Equipment Services (MAMES), a regional association home medical equipment, supplies and service providers in the Midwest. “What CMS (Medicare) is doing is unconscionable and is likely to be brutally harmful to some of our most vulnerable citizens.”

Medicare beneficiaries have already seen an example of these kinds of cuts to their testing supplies they use in the treatment of their diabetes. In 2013, Medicare put in a nationwide competitive bidding program for diabetic testing supplies that slashed payment in excess of 70 percent. All the while, Medicare of-

ficials have boasted of the significant money this program has saved, and that ensured beneficiaries would still maintain access to high quality equipment and supplies. However, a National Minority Quality Forum Report found adverse health consequences were detected and can be associated with the competitive bidding program among patients with diabetes.

The providers of home medical equipment, supplies and services, on behalf of their patients, have strongly voiced their concerns with Medicare officials and members of Congress to try to prevent these cuts from occurring. At this time, the only way these drastic cuts can be reversed is through Congressional action.

Medicare beneficiaries and their families are urgently encouraged to contact their members of Congress and let them know that they needCongress to stop the drastic Medicare cuts and protect their access to home medical equipment, supplies and services in your community. They should call the Congressional Switchboard at 1-866-338-1015 or go to http://www.contactingthecongress.org.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

West River Health Services Foundation has $15,000 for academic scholarships

By TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation Fund Development Officer The Foundation at West River Health Services (WRHS) plans to award approximately $15,000 in academic scholarships to area high school graduating seniors and/or college students this spring. Currently the Foundation has organized the Scholarship Program into five main areas: Steinmetz Memorial (1-$500) Joyce Stippich Memorial (1-$500), Lynn Feist Memorial (1-$500), WRHS Jeans Day (1-$500), WRHS Auxiliary (2-$500) and WRHS General Scholarships (5-15--$12,000). Each scholarship requires the senior to fill out individual application forms, provide a high school transcript, 2 letters of recommendation, a college acceptance letter, and a 300 word essay. Kim Schalesky is the Academic Scholarship Coordinator of this program, while Ted Uecker, Fund Development Officer, is out on the road promoting the WRHSF Scholarship Program to area school counselors, principals and soonto be graduating seniors; in Hettinger, Scranton, Bowman, New England, Mott, Elgin-New Leipzig, Buffalo, Bison, McIntosh, Faith, and Lemmon. The deadline for WRHS Scholarship applications to be submitted is

April 1, 2016. Parents, counselors and principals are encouraged to promote these scholarship opportunities with their children/students.

Each counselor will have copies of a synopsis of the entire WRHS Scholarship Program, plus individual brochures and applications for each of the individual WRHS scholarships.

In addition to these five categories, of which approximately 10-20 individual scholarships will be awarded, there is also the WRHSF Academic Loan Program; where students entering their last two years of study at college can offset up to $10,000 of their education costs in exchange for a commitment of professional employment in the WRHS system. Upon graduation, and full-time employment with WRHS, the loaned principal amount plus accrued interest is forgiven at a rate of $500 per month. Basically, within 2 years, all of the loan plus interest is forgiven.

That’s an amazing commitment by West River Health Services Foundation to help area students with their costs of education – and hopefully bring them back home to our area, to grow their families, while employed with the healthcare leader in Western Dakota, West River Health Services.

There are plans to look at all areas of our current scholarship program for the year 2017. Our WRHS Foundation Academic Scholar-

ship Committee consists of board members Cleve Teske (Scranton), Anthony Larson (Hettinger), Mark Resner (Mott), Linda Weaver (Hettinger), Dennis Rustan (New England), and Lois Eggebo (Bison). This committee will meet to discuss the current program with Coordinator Kim Schalesky and Ted Uecker, as they delve into the following questions and more: Due to rising college costs, should we increase the individual scholarship amounts?

How many total individual scholarships should we give?

Should we place more scholarship funds toward inhouse employee education?

How is our tracking program? Are we retaining these scholarship winners as future employees at WRHS? In addition to the Scholar-

VOTE

ship Committee, scholarship applications are reviewed by the Stippich family and members of the WRHS Auxiliary. Last year WRHS selected eleven different scholarship recipients from eight area towns; totaling $12,000.

West River Health Services thanks the Stippich, Feist, and Steinmetz families, the WRHS Auxiliary, and WRHS scholarship committee members; plus many other area supporters of our scholarship program. Without your continued support, we could not offer these terrific scholarship opportunities to our area youth. If you’d like to “leave a legacy” and be part of our WRHSF Scholarship Program, please contact Ted Uecker at the WRHS Foundation offices in Hettinger anytime at 701567-6187.

Your community’s views

By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

I hadn’t seen him in 30 years. When you’re as tight as our gang was back then, it’s hard to imagine anyone pulling that kind of disappearing act. But most of us did. There was no slight of hand, false panels or mirrors. It was life—life happened. We drifted away like dandelion tufts in the summer.

It’s a familiar pattern in its unfamiliarity. High school losers become winners, winners live in the past, golden boys tarnish, shrinking violets bloom, and we all get fat. Except Bernie.

If he gained an ounce from the time he was a 165-pound All-Lake Region Conference guard, playing for the Frederick Vikings, I couldn’t see it.

After graduation, he was like the wind, like a ghost, like a traveler in another dimension. We both were.

I’d hear he was in town for a holiday, a funeral or, like this time, to visit a mother who doesn’t always remember him. Somehow, we always missed each other.

As it turns out, my sister just started working part-time at his mother’s nursing home and she texted me with the news: “Bernie’s back.” My call to his nephew was answered in the shop. Wouldn’t you know, Bernie was standing right there.

“This is Tony Bender,” I said, suddenly feeling

strange that I felt it necessary to include my last name. On the other end, he seemed surprised. His voice was a little thinner than I remembered. He still seemed far away. It was probably just the connection. We decided to meet in Frederick later that afternoon.

If you’re lucky, kissed by the stars and blessed by the angels, you’ll find friends—foxhole friends, I call them—who will stand by you through everything.

That’s what our gang was like and, even though 40 years have evaporated like a sprinkle in the dessert, that’s the way I feel about them today.

Let me tell you about the chaotic night in 1977, the day after Thanksgiving, when I slammed my ‘67 Pontiac into a railroad embankment at 80 mph, with my friends aboard. I got the worst of it, but when I came to and saw my friends were all alive—bloodied, but alive—I was relieved beyond description and horrified by what I’d done.

All I wanted to do was get my friends to the hospital.

If the mangled wreck would have started, Bernie would have driven it away to keep me from getting in trouble. He tried. Obviously impossible. But, to be fair, he’d taken a pretty good knock on the head.

At St. Luke’s, doctors and nurses hovered, stitching me together in the emergency room. I looked pretty rough. Suddenly, Bernie burst through the swinging doors, dragging two men in white uniforms with him.

He thought I was dying.

Behind him in the hall, Doug Braa was popping wheelies in a wheelchair, bleeding from his lip, being

chased by a nurse. Surreal and strangely funny. That was our gang. Comedy at all costs.

A few moments later, the door burst open again. This time, Bernie was dragging more people, with a cop in hot pursuit. “I need to see Tony before he dies!”

Knowing it would take the National Guard to keep him out, I pushed the doctors and nurses away, sat up and, with clamps hanging from my face, teeth missing, mumbled, “Hey, Witt, I’m OK.” That’s all he needed to hear. He instantly relaxed, his shoulders slumped.

“Uh, all right,” he said, and walked out peacefully, still oozing blood from the gash in his forehead.

That should tell you everything you ever need to know about Bernie Witte.

We laughed about that night at my mother’s kitchen table over two beers and three hours of memories.

He’d barely changed. Still fit, barrel-chested. A pair of glasses and blond hair turning platinum were the only apparent concessions to age. Me? Too many concessions to list. “You look like your dad,” he said.

We shared lessons learned over the years, confessed to mistakes and regrets the way only best friends can. We talked about the detours, the dead ends and accidents, scars seen and unseen. We talked about our kids. About life.

How can you regret the missed turns and paths less taken? That’s what brought us here.

I’d followed his high school coaching career in Wyoming on the Internet with great satisfaction. I always knew his enthusiasm

for life would translate to the classroom and football field.

“Tell me about your best moment in coaching,” I said, as the conversation wound down. I sat back knowing I would hear something special.

There had been undefeated teams, state championships, decades of glory.

There was the time, as a matter of principle, he kept his best players off the field for training violations against a juggernaut, a team of unbeaten monsters.

When reporters asked about the holes in the lineup, he said defiantly, “We’re going to talk about the kids that are here.” Wouldn’t you know, his undersized, overmatched, second-stringers hung in there. Danged if they didn’t hang with them.

“But my favorite team is the one that went 0-7,” he said, leaning forward, his voice getting soft. “We weren’t very good.” They got knocked down all right, but they kept getting up.

It could have been demoralizing but, at the end of that bruising season, one of his favorite kids got up and said, “Coach, you taught me more about life in nine weeks than I ever knew before.”

Some guys coach for trophies, some coach for moments like that. Some guys are born teachers. That should tell you everything you ever need to know about Bernie Witte.

I gave him one last bear hug and we both promised it wouldn’t be another 30 years. The goodbye went so fast I’m not sure if I said it, or just imagined that I did.

I hope I told him I’m proud to be his friend. © Tony Bender, 2016

No Presidential Primary in North Dakota This Year Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

North Dakota will not be having a presidential primary this year. Consequently, we will not be able to tip the scales in the battle for the Republican nomination.

Primaries were created to kill brokered nominating conventions and the political machines that controlled politics in the late 1800s and into the 1900s. It was “power to the people” and “people count” long before they became chants in today’s rhetoric.

The basic assumption of primaries was that the voters were wise enough to choose their party’s candidates. It is still regarded as a theory because it continues unproven and may well be destroyed in 2016.

North Dakota tested that assumption six times. We had presidential primaries in six presidential years – 1912, 1916, 1920, 1924,

1928 and 1932 - and never demonstrated “power to the people” during this trial period.

In 1912, Bob LaFollette won the North Dakota primary but W. H. Taft got the nomination; in 1916, LaFollette won the primary but Charley Hughes got the nomination; in 1920, Hiram Johnson won the primary but Warren Harding got the nomination.

In 1924, Calvin Coolidge won the primary and did get the nomination; in 1928, Frank Lowden was the only Republican candidate to show up in North Dakota and Herbert Hoover got the nomination; in 1932, Joseph France won the primary and Hoover was renominated.

In six Republican primaries, North Dakota voted for the winning candidate only once. With this sad record, we abandoned the primary business for several reasons.

First, the lack of impact on presidential nominations was embarrassing. Of course, there were fewer primaries nationally in those days so most nominations were still being negotiated in smoke-filled rooms.

Second, the Great Depression was in full swing in the early ‘30s. State policymakers slashed budgets left and right to bring the cost of government down to disposable income.

The anemic presidential primary was an expendable fringe program for state and local governments.

In the 1932 elections, people voted to cut the salaries and travel allowances of county, state elected and judicial officials. One ballot measure reduced the assessed valuation of property from 75 percent to 50 percent. (It wasn’t on the ballot but the Red River voluntarily dried up in Fargo.)

Without state-sponsored primaries, parties were left to their own resources to get grass roots preferences for presidential candidates.

At the present time, North Dakota Republicans are using a committee to nominate a slate of delegates to be ratified by the state convention. The Democrats use a system of proportional allocation that requires a remedial course in math to understand.

To guide his choice of a candidate, Congressman Kevin Cramer conducted

an online straw survey.

Responding to the survey, 4,740 participants gave Donald Trump 1,785, or 38 percent. Senator Ted Cruz ran second with 1,220, or 26 percent.

In the 2012 presidential election, the Republican candidate got 188,000 votes. After making adjustments for independents and straying Democrats, the figure suggests that a minimum of 100,000 voters are regular Republicans.

To keep Cramer’s survey in perspective, Trump’s 1,785 votes could hardly be called a mandate when measured against the real Republican electorate of 100,000 or more.

With such a small number of survey participants, it would take just a little manipulating or ballot box stuffing to taint the tally.

Even “online” would bias results. So the survey provides no worthwhile guidance for supporting any of the presidential candidates.

Now back at square one, we could propose bringing the presidential primary back but it would not be timely. We are now in the same budget-slashing mode that eliminated the primary 88 years ago.

The Board reviewed the Student Activity and School Lunch Reports.

Superintendent’s Report: Mid-Winter Conference-Southwest Superintendents met on January 25th during the Superintendent Mid-Winter Conference in Bismarck. Some of the discussion items included: superintendent mentoring, and a boot camp for new administrators. Due to the shortage of school administrators there was discussion on how to attract educators into the area of school administration.

Two items were discussed with no further action: 1. Loan repayment and 2. Marketing plan to improve the image of education.

It was also brought to the attention of the superintendents that Janet Welk from ESPB will be retiring of December 2016.

Jill Pancoast was the first keynote speaker. Her topic was How to Work Less, Produce More and Still Get the Job Done.

The focus was on office efficiency and getting administration into the classroom more.

Breakout sessions included: 1. Budget and Finance Q & A. (Mr. Brandt Dick and Dr. Paul Stremick presented.) 2. Transforming School Culture (Jeff Jones, Professor Sheridan College, Wyoming.)

The closing speaker was Ken Kay, from EdLeader21. Spoke on PLC’s for administrators and preparing schools for the 21st century. The focus was on critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. He spoke of where many schools are stuck today with math, science, English, and social studies; and where we need to be as far as skills of students today.

They are content mastery, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.

Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead, and Bismarck are currently using the service.

West River Student ServicesThe governing board met on January 21, at the Dickinson Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Tucker stated that this would be his last year as Director. Terry has done a nice job of working with Hettinger Public School and will be missed. Letting the board know now allows time for filling the position and transitioning into the position prior to Mr. Tucker leaving.

Next meeting date is March 24 at 8:00 a.m.

AVI-I had previously reported on this issue in a previous report.

Dean Eberle was here from AVI to look at the alarm panel in the main office. He was the one who installed the panel and accesso-

ries 16 years ago. We lucked out by having him come here. He is working with Don’s Electric to do some of the preliminary work to save on cost.

Dean has put a price quote together to replace the panel and add additional sensors and strobes in the appropriate places to bring it up to code. In addition, I did ask him about the clocks and intercom system. He is going to be quoting those items as well.

That quote document is located in the board file for your review.

It is the recommendation of all three administrators to move forward on the project.

HA Thompson and Sons-Tammy from HA Thompson and Sons had called on February 9th regarding an existing contract.

They wanted to know who the contact would be, and I said just leave it as the superintendent for now. The existing contract ends August 31, 2016.

CTS-CTS has been here since the last board meeting. An engineer was here and looked at the blue prints and analyzed the west wall of the high school building. It was the recommendation to get another engineers opinion since the wall and floor has separated.

The cost for a second engineer to look at the structure would cost approximately $2,500 to $5,000.

The building committee was contacted, and so we moved forward with getting another opinion.

CTS should have a final report in March. It is moving slower than I would have liked, but I believe we will get a detailed report in the end.

Registration -Mr. Moser has completed registration for the 2016-2017 school year. A tentative schedule has been created.

Conversations have taken place between the three administrators.

STATE Budget Cuts-As you are all aware the Governor announced a 4.05% budget cut for all state general fund agencies. For CTE that amounts to $1,373,763, for the rest of the biennium, ending June 30, 2017.

Just to be clear, schools will still be receiving all their foundation aid payments through DPI because the Foundation Aid Stabilization Fund will make up any difference. That is not the case for CTE funding to schools, CTE’s total budget including funding to schools, has been reduced by 4.05%.

We will first be looking at all potential savings in our Administration & Operating line item including travel and not filled FTE’s.

With Admin & Operating being only 14% of our total general funds, cuts will also be made to school reimbursement rates but at this point I don’t know what that will be, but rates will probably be reduced by 1% to 2%. Everything will be on the table. If we can identify specific areas within the Grants to reduce we will and then it will be an across the board cut to all other Grants to come up with the $1,373,763.

Our budget reduction plan is to be submitted to OMB by February 17th and we will keep everyone informed.

This information was taken from an e-mail sent out by the Department of Public Instruction.

Kat Perkins-Kat Perkins will be here on March 16th. She will be working with the High School students from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and the Elementary School from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Kat will communicate the message of using social media in a positive way with students and staff during the lyceum.

Elementary Principal Report: Adams County Spelling Bee: The Adams County Spelling Bee will be held on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 in the AV room starting at 12:40 P.M. Twenty-five students in grades 5-8 will be participating in the spelling bee. They will take a written spelling test, a written vocabulary test, and participate in the spell off orally. The top four scores will receive trophies and the top two will represent Adams County at the North Dakota State Spelling Bee at the Ramkota on Monday, March 21, 2016.

Service to Children Award: I did receive the Service to Children Award from NDAESP when I attended the conference February 4-5 at the Ramkota in Bismarck.

This was a nice recognition for the years I have devoted to serving children in education. It is hanging on my office wall and

was a nice way to end my 26 year career as an Elementary Principal.

Teacher Evaluations: I am working on last classroom observations and teacher evaluations so that they will be finished by March 15, 2016 per North Dakota Statute. We are in our second year of using the Ken Marshall teacher evaluation system.

Assessment Coordinator Meeting: Mr. Moser and I will attend the three hour training for the assessment coordinators on Wednesday, February 17, in Dickinson. We are to be trained in the upcoming North Dakota Assessment so we can show teachers how to use the system that will be used for testing this year.

Secondary Principal Report: Pre-Registration-All students have been pre-registered for the 2016-17 school year. There may be very minor changes (addition of some ITV courses and electives), but students should have a good idea what their schedule will look like next school year.

In conversations with Mr. Jamison it was decided that he would teach both pre-calculus and calculus next year due to the number of interested students; this will give him seven preparations, the same as this year.

Parent-Teacher Conferences-We had a great turnout, especially being the second conference. We hope that having the conferences earlier that we can catch students before they fall too far behind. I plan on continuing earlier conferences next year.

NWEA Testing is complete. The next phase is to begin utilizing the data.

Committee will meet after the February Break to discuss further training and specifics of writing focusing on curriculum collaboration.

Mr. Sebastian has placed the Ed Improvement data and demographic documents on the Web Page. Ms. Block and Mrs. Kristy are going forward with putting together signage for our District Mission/Value statement and District Values.

Student Council Report: Unfortunately volunteers from Student Council were unable to assist with the Mobile Foodbank in January because their truck broke down and they did not make a stop in Hettinger.

Student Council voted to provide a scholarship or possibly 2 depending on our budget.

This scholarship would be for a Senior at Hettinger High School that has made meaningful contributions to Student Council.

Student Council is working to provide some sort of reward/benefit for any member of the student body who maintains a certain GPA and displays the qualities as described by our District Beliefs.

Mr. Moser and Michael Shirek have started a dialog on this reward.

Activities Director Report: Athletics Wrestling: Wrestling has qualified for both the dual and individual tournament again this year.

They are rated #2 in the state behind Carrington in the dual tournament. State begins this Thursday in Fargo. It will continue through Saturday.

Boys Basketball: Doing well.

They are currently sitting at the #3 spot in the region. This would give them a bye into the second round if it holds up. They have 3 games until their regional tournament.

Girls Basketball: Their regular season is done. Their first round regional game is this Friday. As of right now (Monday) they are going to Mott-Regent. The game will start at 6:00 local time.

Upcoming Athletics: The following sports will be kicking off in the spring: Elementary Wrestling, Elementary Volleyball, Baseball, Track, and Golf.

Activities Speech: Speech has been up and running for some time now.

FBLA: Gearing up for their spring. They have the Spring Leadership Conference in April.

Co-Op Meeting Held in We had a co-op meeting on February 3. Things which were discussed: ⇨ Participation/location numbers for next year’s fall season. o Football will have 50/50 split with practices next year. We will have two home games in Hettinger and one in Scranton.

• If there is a playoff game at home, it will be hosted in Hettinger. This is because in the co-op agreement they need 45% of participation in order to host.

They do not have that at this time. o Volleyball will have a75/25 split for practices and games next year. We will have two home matches in Scranton and 6 in Hettinger. ⇨ Equipment Needs o Football: Football needs shoulder pads, girdles, and 5 more sets of uniforms. It was discussed and agreed at the co-op meeting these things should be ordered.

Baseball: Baseball needs new catcher’s gear and umpire’s gear.

It was discussed and agreed at the co-op meeting these things should be ordered.

MOTION #107-Moved by Mattis, seconded by Faller to recognize as an Appropriate Negotiating Unit: all personnel licensed by the Education Standards and Practices Board and employed primarily as a classroom teacher, including counselor and librarian, except administrators, employed, or to be employed, full-time or part-time, by the Board. Motion carried unanimously.

Education Improvement Report: High School staff completed initial training on the Step up to Writing program February 10, 2016. Elementary staff received this at the January in-service in Dickinson. The program appears to be a very sensible way for instructors to help students with their writing and help the District in meeting its reading goals.

of the adult losses,” Wiedmann said. “The bad news is that many bighorns are still showing signs of pneumonia, so next year’s survey will be important in determining if the state’s population is continuing to recover from the disease outbreak, or if the pathogens are likely to persist and cause a long-term population decline.”

Dr. Dan Grove, Department veterinarian, said disease testing last winter revealed that deadly pathogens were still present in 16 of 22 bighorns tested. He said animals continue to succumb to pneumonia, albeit at a much slower rate.

A bighorn sheep hunting season is tentatively scheduled to open in 2016, unless there is a recurrence of bacterial pneumonia. The status of the bighorn sheep season will be determined Sept. 1, after summer population surveys are completed.

mistaken for whooping cranes. The most common misidentification is pelicans, because their wingspan is similar and they tuck their pouch in flight, leaving a silhouette similar to a crane when viewed from below.

Anyone sighting whoopers should not disturb them, but record the date, time, location, and the birds’ activity. Observers should also look closely for and report colored bands which may occur on one or both legs. Whooping cranes have been marked with colored leg bands to help determine their identity.

Whooping crane sightings should be reported to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office at Lostwood, 701-848-2466, or Long Lake, 701387-4397, the North Dakota Game and Fish

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s annual bighorn sheep survey revealed a minimum of 292 bighorn sheep in western North Dakota, up 8 percent from last year and 3 percent above the five-year average.

Altogether, biologists counted 88 rams, 160 ewes and 44 lambs.

Not included are approximately 30 bighorns in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Big game biologist Brett Wiedmann said the survey is good news after an all-age die-off that began in 2014.

New head coach says his team ‘has hitters’

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Sandwiched in between the hot days of summer and tournament basketball is America’s Pastime, baseball.

The Hettinger/Scranton/ New England Night Hawks are coming off a tough season, and new Head Coach Nolan Dix is hoping his team’s hitting can carry them to a better record.

“At the Babe Ruth level, we had good hitters,” Dix said. “I would hope that would kind of carry into [high school].”

Dix takes over for Blake Honeyman.

Dix said the team lost three quality seniors to graduation last year, with only one on this year’s roster. They may have another senior, but an injury during the football season may hinder his availability.

With the lack of senior leadership, Dix said his younger players are going to have to play a major part with the team.

“These Babe Ruthers that are now moving up to Legion, and high school, are going to have to step up,” Dix said.

Dix knows those young kids well, he has coached them since youth baseball and has served as the Babe Ruth coach in previous seasons.

“[Some of ] the kids that are coming up through I’ve coached since coach-pitch,” Dix said.

Along with the one senior, the team features one 7th-grader, two 8th-graders, eight freshmen, three sophomores, and three juniors.

The team is made up of seven players from Hettinger, seven from Scranton, and four from New England.

The team opened practice on March 21, and the season culminates with the state tournament on June 2.

The Night Hawks open their season against Dick-

inson High School’s Junior Varsity team in Dickinson, and finishes the year at Beulah on May 12.

Hettinger/Scranton/New England are scheduled to play 22 games this year and play their first three match ups on the road before their home opener on April 19 against Washburn/Wilton/ Center-Stanton.

Their Region 8 opponents include Beulah High School, Hazen High School, Kidder County, Shiloh Christian, and Wasburn/Wilton/Center-Stanton.

As Dix opens his first season as head baseball coach, he was certain the team will be improved at the plate.

“I guarantee we’re going to hit better,” Dix said. “We’ll hit better this year.”

He also added that the performance in the field should see improvements from last year.

“The kids that we have, love the game of baseball,” Dix said.

The Night Hawks last made it to the state tournament in 2011, defeating Watford City for seventh place.

Assisting Dix this year will be Larry Teibor.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

The North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) Board of Directors voted unanimously not to allow a dissolution of New England’s football co-op with Dickinson Trinity prior to the start of next season. New England High School had appealed an earlier ruling that would not allow the dissolution of the football co-op. This of course means the proposed co-op of New England and Mott-Regent is also cancelled for the 2016 football season.

This was a disappointment to New England personnel, who feel their students are not receiving the same opportunities to achieve what’s being afforded to Trinity students.

The NDHSAA board of directors has announced their high school football plan for the 2017 and 2018 seasons but it won’t be finalized until this fall. The 2017-2018 plan calls for 14 teams to make up Class 3A (down from the current 16), 10 teams to make up Class 2A (down from the current 16) and 32 teams to make up Class 1A (up from the current 24). The remainder of schools will play 9-man unless they elect to play independent 6-man football.

The plan would have Jamestown and Devils Lake move from 3A to Class 2A. Final division assignments for the 2017-2018 plan will be presented to membership in October and later approved by the NDHSAA. I emailed Kevin Morast at NDHSAA and questioned about how a division of only 10 teams could make for a competitive division? He followed up with the following explanation; “The football plan will not be made final until October, although I don’t see those numbers changing. The reasoning behind those numbers is due to the fact the survey that was sent to member schools. The results were overwhelming that competitive balance was more important than number of divisions, travel etc. Also in that survey schools were asked what division they thought they belonged in. Those numbers closely resemble that of the plan. The committee also used ratios in order to help determine the number in each division. The ratio pertains to adjusted enrollment from the top team in the division to the bottom team in that division. The ratio was much more balanced in the AAA division with 14 and the AA division with 10. Expanding the numbers in the top two division sent the ratio much

higher and would affect the competitive balance which member schools told us was most important.”

The ratio he talks about pertains to how many students qualify for free or reduces meals. The more students in that category lowers the schools enrollment numbers that the NDHSAA uses for class determination. For instance, Standing Rock has an enrollment 147, but having so many on free and reduced meals their enrollment was adjusted to 76.35.

Something to think about, there are currently 21 basketball teams in Class A and eight of them will make the state tourney. That gives a team a 38% chance of qualifying for the state tourney.

Class B has 109 teams and with eight qualifying for state, a team only has a 7% chance of making it.

I think only four teams should compete for the state title in Class A, two from the West and two from the East.

Have both the boys and girls tournament together and it can be completed in two days. The semi-finals on day one with the third/fourth place games and finals on day two.

Tyler Rozell scored 21 points to lead undefeated Warner to a 60-43 win over Irene-Wakonda in the SD Class B boys’ basketball state championship game in Aberdeen on March 19. De Smet handed second-seeded Harding County its third loss of the tournament with a win in the seventh place game.

I would also like to give a shout-out to Nolan Dix of KNDC radio for his broadcasting of Night Hawk sporting events. I know he catches some criticism for covering one sport more than another. But with three major high school sports on the winter sports schedule he cannot cover all of them. On top of that he has two boys involved, one in wrestling and the other in basketball. And I would assume sponsors also have a say in the matter. Keep up the great work Nolan.

I thought Fred Fridley do a great job as the analyst for the State Class B Basketball Tournament.

Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: •March 25, Hettinger Husky Duals Tournament at Bismarck •March 25-26, Hettinger Husky Individual Tournament at Bismarck • March 29, Girls Elementary Volleyball triangular vs Ht. River and Trinity at Trinity See you at the games!

A straw vote at the annual meeting of the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) District Chairs Committee passed by a 14-2 margin to have the NDHSAA Board of Directors look into a 3-class system for basketball. No specific plan was presented but the board of directors will be looking into the merits of a 3-class system in the future.

I think this is a no-brainer, and three classes should be approved.

There are currently 21 Class A schools and 109 Class B schools. Keep the present number of Class A schools, although Watford City may have to eventually move to Class A. Of the remaining schools make four regions, each with eight teams from the highest enrollments. This would be the new Class B and would include the bigger private schools such as Shiloh, Dickinson Trinity, Our Redeemers, etc. The remaining teams would be Class C, roughly 77, although I would

smallest schools wanting to split into three classes are going to have a difficult time making the state tournament no matter what, because they are the smallest schools. They’ll always be that, no matter if they compete in Class B or a new Class C.” No Mr. McFeely, the fact is the schools competing within or close to their enrollment size will always have the chance. But unlike the private schools in the big cities who can reach out to a larger pool of players, small public schools only have what their small town has for students. Look at Dickinson Trinity, have you ever seen them with a down year? They are always consistently good year after year. Small public school sports teams run in cycles, 3-4 years competitive and then maybe 3-4 years with losing records.

As Watford City Athletic Director Randy Cranston states in the article; “It would give more kids an opportunity to play in the state tournament, and I think that, the opportunity, is what high school sports is all about.”

Positional Analysis Weekly Viking Roundup By JORDAN WRIGHT For The Record

For the second to last article, we’ll be going over the cornerbacks. In the early years of the NFL, passing statistics were not nearly as important as a team’s ability to run the ball and conversely shut down the other team’s rushing attack.

In recent years, however, the NFL has shifted to a passing league, placing great importance on the defensive backfield to shut down wide receivers.

In 2015, Minnesota ranked 12th in the league in passing yards allowed, which is a light drop from 2014 when the Vikings were seventh. The Vikings did see an improvement in touchdowns allowed however, moving from 17th in 2014 (26 touchdowns allowed) to

rename the classes AAA, AA and A. Mike McFeely of the Forum News Service recently did an article sarcastically berating the idea. From his commentary headline, “Here comes another three-class proposal” to his (in my opinion) misguided justifications.

He indicates that in states that have expanded their basketball tournament, like Minnesota and South Dakota, statewide enthusiasm had taken a hit. I talked to my nephew who coaches in Minnesota and he doesn’t buy that theory. Years ago Minnesota only had one division and now they have four. Does he think it is competitive to have a town like Edgerton—98 kids in the top four grades—take on the likes of Apple Valley with 1494 kids in the top four grades?

I lived in Rapid City S.D. from 20042012 and followed the high school sports scene and did not feel there is any lack of enthusiasm with their three divisions. They currently have 17 teams in AA, 55 in A and 85 in B. He also states; “Here’s a fact, the

11th with only 24 touchdowns allowed.

Captain Munnerlyn was the Vikings best cornerback in 2015, according to Pro Football Focus. Munnerlyn was given a player grade of 82.3, which ranked him 18th out of the 111 cornerbacks who qualified. Captain is entering the last season of a three-year contract he signed in 2014, and he will make $4.58 million this year.

There was a huge jump in Munnerlyn’s play from 2014 to 2015, and he credits that to trusting Mike Zimmer’s system. Look for another jump as he enters the third year in the system. At the young age of 27, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Vikings look to extend Captain sooner rather than later.

Terence Newman was the second best corner on the team in 2015, earning a player grade of 76.3 according to PFF, which ranks him 39th.

Newman was a vital piece to the Vikings’ defense last year, as he was able to lock down the corner spot across from Rhodes, allowing Rookie Trae Waynes to be eased into playing time. Terence just signed a one-year,

$2.5 million dollar contract to come back for one more season. The veteran was even asked to play safety last season, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to see him get more snaps across from Harrison Smith this year.

Xavier Rhodes is supposed to be the best corner on the Vikings, but he ended the 2015 season with a 70.6 PFF player grade, which ranks him 58th in the league. Rhodes’ play picked up in the second half of the season, and if he can get healthy, he still has the ability to become an elite corner in the NFL. Xavier is entering the fourth season and will make just under $2.5 million this year. The Vikings have the option to pick up a fifth year option on Rhodes, and I fully expect them to do so. I also expect the Vikings to sign him to a contract extension next off-season.

Rookie Trae Waynes did not play many snaps this past season, as the Vikings were being patient and not allowing him to see the field until he was ready. Since he didn’t play enough snaps, he didn’t qualify to be

ranked by PFF. However, Waynes was given a player grade of 72.9 for the snaps he did play, which would have ranked him 51st in the league. I was impressed with the limited snaps Waynes played, and I could see a big jump from his play in preseason. I fully expect Trae to grab the starting spot across from Rhodes this season.

Entering his second season, Waynes is scheduled to make just under $3 million this year.

Next week’s article will cover the safety spot as well as the kickers. After the roster breakdown is completed, I will be focusing my attention on the draft.
