Bakken U scholarship application now open Applications are now open for more than $20,000 in scholarships that have been announced under the North Dakota University System’s Bakken U initiative.

The initiative was created during the last academic year to help encourage oil workers, recently displaced oil workers and their spouses to go back to school at one of the state’s public colleges and universities. Numerous awards were made for the 2015-16 academic year, including the inaugural $5,000 Bakken U scholarship that was awarded to former oil worker currently attending Dickinson State University.

Chancellor Mark Hagerott said the initiative was one way to help those directly affected by a decrease in oil activity learn new skills by going back to school.

decisions.

“These cuts are going to be challenging for us as a state,” Burgum said. “And that’s one of the reasons why we’re energized to bring some business leadership back into solving some of these problems.”

Sanford knows the situation well as he is seeing that same thing in his town.

“We as Watford City are in the same situation as the state government,” Sanford said.

One question was a little more localized.

In regards to empty storefronts on Main Street in Hettinger, a citizen asked how that problem could be solved. Burgum acknowledged that a

healthy main street is vital to creating community in small towns, particularly with younger generations.

“We need an environment where people can interact with each other,” Burgum said. “We need an environment where people are connecting with each other.”

It’s one thing that the two candidates will focus on, is how to build smart, economic cities. He said that cities have very little resources for encouraging growth, the League of Cities is one helpful organization, but Burgum said it would be helpful for the state to provide a template and some indicators that communities could use to foster expansion. He added that it isn’t always about money, but sometimes it’s just about bringing a better idea.

Burgum told The Re-

cord that in the private sector there is always someone you’re competing against, so the key to success is doing it better than the next person, he said that’s the approach both he and Sanford will take at the capital.

“That approach is what Brent [Sanford] and I will bring,” Burgum said.

“During this [economic] downturn that we’re in right now, I think this is a big opportunity for us to step back and go ‘hey how can we meet the needs of North Dakota citizens… but how can we do that more efficiently.”

Sanford said that when there’s the reality of a revenue shortfall, who better to help the issue than two people that have had so much success in dealing with the problems of prioritizing limited, declining resources.

Burgum has a background in technology, and when asked if he thought North Dakota should be recruiting tech companies to do business in the state, he said yes. But he also said the focus should be on entrepreneurs and innovation. He cited Microsoft in Fargo. The reason there is a camB pus with over 200 jobs, W Burgum said, is because Great Plains Software was started and grew in North Dakota.

“If we keep growing the entrepreneurs, and keep supporting the innovation at that level, they will turn into big things,” Burgum said.

Burgum and Sanford were scheduled to tour West River Health Services before moving on to Scranton. An evening meet and greet was scheduled in Bowman.

PLANT A TREE

THE HISTORY OF ARBOR DAY

By ROBERT W. DROWN

Natural Resources Specialist The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was started by Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a journalist and politician. Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques and served as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture for President Grover Cleveland. However, Morton’s most important legacy is Arbor Day. Morton and his wife had moved to Nebraska from Michigan and missed the woodlands and lush vegetation of the east. They planted many trees, shrubs and even an apple orchard on their land. They realized that even though the plains were treeless, the climate and soils had potential for growing trees. The settlers in the new territory were in need of trees for homes, fences, farm buildings, fuel and windbreaks. Morton often wrote about and encouraged the planting of the differ-

ent tree species and shrubs that were best suited to the plains.

Morton believed that Nebraska’s landscape and economy would benefit from the wide-scale planting of trees.

He proposed that a special day be dedicated to tree planting and increasing awareness of the importance of trees.

On Nebraska’s first Arbor Day, more than one million trees were planted.

After the second Arbor Day in 1884, Nebraska made it a legal state holiday.

During the late 1800s Morton’s idea spread from Nebraska to Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Ohio, all proclaiming their own Arbor Days.

By 1920, more than 45 states and territorial possessions were celebrating Arbor Day. Today all 50 states in the USA celebrate Arbor Day although the dates may vary in keeping with the local climate. State Arbor Days held in our part of the nation are as follows: Wyoming – last Monday in April; Iowa, Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota - last Friday in April and North

Dakota – first Friday in May. In 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day. Arbor Day is an excellent opportunity for homeowners to take a good look at the trees on their property and plan for the future. Trees should be checked for broken branches, disease and insect problems. Planting new trees can improve your property and provide wind or heat protection.

Arbor Day is the time for community leaders to take stock of the trees in their neighborhoods and public areas.

Thoughtful plans for tree planting and tree maintenance can make a real difference to your community.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

WRHS Foundation’s 2nd Annual Adult Prom Rocks the Boat Toward $38,000 Raised

By TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation The West River Health Services Foundation’s 2nd Annual “Adult Prom,” held this past Saturday, April 16 at Suzie’s Woodfire Grill in downtown Hettinger, was a boat rocking success! Over 135 people attended the largest fundraiser of the year for the local WRHS Foundation – and helped raise almost $38,000 net!!! You read that right, the goal was to raise $20,000 net for renovations to 42 resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center – but via ticket sales, silent and live auctions, business and family pledges and gifts on this night, the goal was easily surpassed.

The Woodfire Grill was decorated with the Hettinger High School prom decorations, including a ship with a hole in it for the Grand Marchers to walk through, various masts, anchors, and the steering wheel placed throughout the intimate nightclub. Prom-goers began filing in at 5:00pm for the social and silent auction.

Kennedy’s Fresh Foods provided an amazing appetizer array including meaty thick sandwiches, creamy macaroni salads, smokeys, amazing dip, brownies and scruncheroos! Of course, Suzie’s Woodfire was staffed via the Jesfjeld boys and ready with refreshments for everyone!

At 7pm the traditional “Grand March” began, where 35 gorgeous couples were announced to the crowd and began the traditional prom tunnel. Once everyone was announced and had their photos taken by guest photographer Amanda Reimer, the prom tunnel continued and the music began. As did the dancing. Hot Trax, a local music caterer, owned and operated by Nolan Dix and Terry Spratta, kept the mu-

sic hopping throughout the evening. The Laboratory and Housekeeping Departments started the dancing with their now traditional circle dance, where everyone dances in a big circle with an individual performer taking the center now and then. They had FUN! Not sure if Orby or Toots had the most fun, but it was certainly enjoyed by all!

The Live Auction began around 8 p.m., with the first item being an NDSU championship signed football, donated back by 5 sensational local businessmen (Anthony Larson, Dr. Chris Schauer, Dr. Steve Kilwein, John Scherbenske and Gary Dewhirst). They had purchased this signed football at the memorial for Dylan Jahner a few years ago and wanted to pay it forward. How appropriate and satisfying that Dylan’s parents, Jennifer and Rich Jahner, purchased this item. Overall, there were 22 Live Auction items including the following items and their sponsors: vacation trips to Mesa, Arizona (from Jodi Uecker/Ted & Sheri Uecker), Lake Sakakawea (Dennis & Dava Rustan), and UND hockey games (Dr. Cathy Houle and Todd Shirek); awesome Broncos, NDSU Bison and Minnesota Twins tables and a walnut wine/liquor rack (created by woodworking artist Matt Parnow and sponsored by the WRHS Foundation); a Broilmaster Outdoor Grill and Smoker (Lodgepole Store, Dick & Mary Vliem); 6 Terry Redlin labeled wines (Dennis & Dava Rustan); a Drone with Video Camera (Dr. Mark & Lanae Kristy, WRHS Radiology Department); a Cub Cadet Zero Turn Radius Mower and Gasless Weed Eater (provided at cost from AgPro Equipment to the WRHS Foundation); 42 steaks and

The Live Auction raised a grand total of $18,165; a net total of $14,165. Thank you to all of the amazing gifters and bidders! The six highest selling items were the Cub Cadet mower at $2,850; the Denver Broncos Super Bowl 50 Champions table at $1,800; the Mesa, Arizona Trip at $1,575; the signed NDSU football at $1,150; and both the BroilMaster Outdoor Grill and the UND

Hockey Trip at $1,050 each.

The Silent Auction began at 5:00 p.m. and ran throughout the evening. Exactly thirty minutes after the Live Auction, the silent auction sheets were collected and the winners decided.

The Silent Auction raised $2,270! There were 22 Silent Auction items including the following and who donated them: Terry Redlin artwork ( John White), a homemade quilt (Lutheran Church Lady Quilters), a lunch for 4 at Kathleen Brackel’s flower garden and a champagne breakfast for 4 on the patio at Sheri Uecker’s; Joseph Joseph kitchen utensils (KB Jewelers), Minnesota Twins and Brantley Gilbert tickets (KNDC); Black Hills gold necklace and earings (Wheeler Manufacturing, via Brian & Neva Scoular), 4 bottles of spiced Rum (Woodfire Grill), homemade wine (Sarah Chadwick) and artwork/wine box art (Cherie Huiner); Adams County Record Subscription; NDSU iron artwork (Anthony &

Oil Company Blues That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

Them that’s got shall have Them that’s not shall lose So the Bible says and it still is news...

—Billie Holiday, God Bless the Child Winning the lottery doesn’t automatically bestow upon one the acumen of a top financial planner.

You don’t have to look further than North Dakota’s $1.1 billion state budget deficit to see that. What you can count on, like flies to honey, is a plague of grifters, con men and shysters in thousand-dollar suits, all looking for a piece of the action. Locusts would be a relief.

Welcome to Bismarck and be damn glad the capitol hasn’t been moved. At the rate the state’s politicians are selling out, you may find yourself getting your driver’s license (between earthquakes) in Oklahoma City. While you’re there, you can visit your money, funneled through sweet-

heart tax breaks and get out of jail free cards for any kind of infraction short of serial killing. In North Dakota, a body in the river with a backpack full of rocks is just a probable suicide. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have oil business to attend to.

Dump thousands of gallons of oil on fourth-generation farm land? Forgiven.

Blow up a town in Canada?

So what? At least we didn’t take out Casselton. Increase the amount of radioactive material that can be dumped in North Dakota tenfold?

Bend over. Now more than flares will glow in the dark.

Art Link is spinning in his grave faster than a corkscrew at a free wine-tasting.

You think your politicians aren’t bought and sold by the millions in campaign contributions? Sure, Pollyanna, and Hillary doesn’t owe any favors for those $225,000 speeches, either.

Move along, nothing to see here. Democracy is just being strangled. We’ll stop it when we’re done.

You don’t think the fix is in? Good, then you won’t mind that the North Dakota Industrial Commission, comprised of the governor, attorney general and agriculture commissioner, the political arm of the outof-state oil industry, plans to take away your voice.

ANNUAL FBLA INGO WHEN

Sunday, May 1, 2016 1pm - 4pm WHERE

Roberts-Reinke Auditorium Hettinger Public School

The Gang of Three has decided public comment just takes too long. Hell, it’s almost un-American.

The very idea of commoners having a voice in the government! They just want to hear from the important people. I checked, and you ain’t on the list. Only those deemed to have a “vested interest” in oil wells shall be allowed help rubber stamp new permits. You know, the landed gentry.

If your aquifers, rivers and air, downstream and downwind, get polluted, suck it up, peons. You’re lucky we don’t make you lick lead paint chips. And while we’re at it, let’s make the sucker the state fish.

After the fossil fuel industry donated millions to expand the North Dakota Heritage Center, located in Bismarck (for now), who knew there would

be a performance clause?

Any hooker could have set them straight. The price?

Fealty. Sure, it’s perverse, but at least it’s done with your clothes on. I’m not sure if there are separate bathrooms for its practitioners. Someone call North Carolina.

When a traveling Smithsonian exhibit entitled, “Green Revolution,” arrived under the cloak of darkness, delivered to the Heritage Center by Al Gore himself, it went over like a Muslim prayer at the Legislature. All this talk of pollution, global warming, recycling and— gasp!—renewable energy.

Ron Ness, of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, interrupted his foot massage from Republican legislators, to complain. What kind of blasphemy was this? No mention of the dangers of solar energy? Why, one sun-

shine spill could be devastating. And what about that dead pigeon found at the foot of a wind tower in the Forbes Hills? No one loves wildlife like the oil industry.

(See the Exxon Valdez and the BP Deepwater Horizon spill.)

The Heritage Center folded like a patsy with a pair of twos. They shut the exhibit down—at least until the state Historical Society can modify the presentation. But officials assured everyone it has nothing to do with pressure from The Church of Oil. Nope.

Coincidence. Heck, at the Heritage Center, they tweak exhibits all the time. You’ll want to check out the revised exhibit on the Indian Wars. This time, Custer wins.

Meanwhile, Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Wayne Stene-

hjem’s new ad says, “Let’s tell (millionaire candidate) Doug Burgum that North Dakota is not for sale.”

I know I will be accused of hating oil. If you love democracy and open government, you must be some kind of socialist. If you respect science and want to protect the environment, you must hate oil. And America. And Jesus. And Guns. And Rambo Jesus.

Not so. I love oil. I slather it on. It makes me so shiny and slippery, sometimes I slide right out of my pew.

I fry my eggs in 10w-40. I keep a grease gun in my bathroom to slick back my hair when I want to blend in with the lobbyists. A little dab’ll do ya. And every morning, I snort Pennzoil before I leave the house. I find it helps me write snottier. © Tony Bender, 2016

Measure No. 1 Would Shift ND Farm Policy Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

North Dakota has had a romance with family farming since the Homestead Act of 1862 when the federal government gave 160-acre plots to anyone who would farm them.

We often think that all of the protections of rural agriculture have come from the national government because it offers significant financial support to farmers through crop insurance, trade protection for sugar growers, and a variety of subsidies scattered throughout the bureaucracy.

In the process, we have overlooked the fact that North Dakota has pieced together a significant series of programs to keep farmers on the land, community institutions viable and main streets healthy.

Starting with the 1919 session of the Legislature, the Bank of North Dakota and the State Mill & Elevator were created to protect farmers from exploitation by chain banks and milling companies.

For decades, the state ran a hail insurance program to help farmers cope with destruction of crops by nature.

The school land fund was used to underwrite mortgages for farmers. Farm residences and other improvements have been exempt from the property tax.

A more significant benefit has been a property tax system that results in farm and ranch land being assessed at less than half of the market value while city property owners keep paying a full load.

When it comes to sales tax, the rate on new and used machinery has been consistently lower than the general levy paid for consumer goods.

In 1932, the voters outlawed corporate farming to protect farming by families.

The voters reaffirmed their support for this legislation in 1968 and 1974.

In spite of all of the state efforts, North Dakota has still witnessed a slow decline of the farm population and with it the boarding up of main street businesses, consolidation of church parishes, decline in medical services and grouping of schools just to get a football team. Depopulation would have been worse without these benefits for farmers.

The measure on the upcoming June ballot would open the anti-corporation law to permit corporate ownership of milk-cow and pig operations, with minimums established at 50 milk cows and 500 hogs.

The need to expand corporate farming is questionable since present law already permits family corporations to build sizeable facilities, such as the 6,000-hog facility planned near Buffalo, ND. Proponents of the measure have stated that the sole purpose for creating the exemption is to attract investment dollars. This means that nonfarm outof-state investors would become an integral part of

North Dakota agriculture.

There are too many nonfarm out-of-state investors already, bidding the price of land up beyond the resources of local farmers. Farmers are buying land for cropping and grazing while investors are buying for speculation.

My brother left 320 acres of land that was sold at auction for $1.8 million. Several weeks after the sale, the purchaser showed up from Illinois to check on the land he had bought sight unseen.

When it was suggested to him that he would never amortize his investment with ordinary cropping, he shrugged his shoulders and said “Well, I sort of invest around the country.” He was buying for speculation.

Federal and state farm programs have been based on the premise that family farming is more than a matter of pure economics, that there is social value to preserving family farms, local businesses, churches, schools and community.

Corporate investors will make decisions based on the bottom line and not on the best interests or social values of North Dakota rural communities.

Adoption of Measure No.

Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Record

Hello, I was just thinking the other morning. Shirley has warned me about thinking, but sometimes I can’t help it. I was thinking that I am pretty dang lucky.

Other than diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, eyesight, and hearing, I am in pretty good shape. I’m lucky. There are people with a heck of a lot more problems than I’ve got. And they don’t have near as much fun!

What got me to thinking about this was a calf.

I was down in the barn a couple days ago feeding a bottle calf. It was a twin calf that the mama cow forgot when he was a day or so old.

But this is a darn nice calf and took right to the bottle.

Before I started feeding him I had called the saddle horses in and grained them.

It was just starting to get a little light and that calf was sucking that bottle and those saddle horses were munching on oats. I swear there isn’t a sweeter sound than that. Then you add a little rain falling on the barn roof and that must be what heaven sounds like.

But I imagine my chances of checking that out are a little slim.

Anyway, that’s what got me to thinking. I was thinking that Dad always said I was lucky. And I guess he was right.

So I started thinking about the things I enjoy. I enjoy having a beer on the deck with good friends on a warm summer evening. And

Shirley would say I enjoy having a drink with friends on a cold winter evening just as well. I enjoy friends.

I enjoy a good dog that chases cows when I tell him too and sometimes stops when I tell him. And he is good to my grandkids.

I enjoy trotting a horse down a long ridge headed for Hans Creek when the grass is green and the creeks are running.

I enjoy cutting alfalfa hay just before it blossoms and smelling that sweet smell.

Heck, I even enjoy unrolling that bale on fresh snow and seeing the cows line up to eat that hay months later.

I enjoy watching a great bucking horse and I enjoy watching a good cowboy make a great ride on a good bucking horse.

I enjoy watching Shirley get a calf started nursing a bottle if the calf is too dumb for me to get it started. She can do it.

I enjoy coming in to the smell of a good pot roast in the oven, or maybe the smell of pork ribs and sauerkraut in the crock-pot.

I enjoy the smell of the air after a shower. Especially when that shower follows a long dry spell. Grandpa always said it “always rains right after a dry spell”. He was a wise man.

Another thing he told me was, “Don’t ever buy a horse from a guy that sits in the front pew in church!” I enjoyed that.

I enjoy watching a little kid smile when they see a baby calf or new flower blooming. Or when they learn to feed a calf or a lamb.

I enjoy dirty, noisy kids in our house. I enjoy kids that pet their horse even after it tipped a barrel or knocked down a couple poles.

Heck, I could go on and on. Dad is right. I’ve always been lucky.

Later, Dean

hired him.

He described the beginning stages of his tenure as a “baptism under fire.” He was a finance guy and didn’t expect to be in the role.

“I didn’t seek the role, I more or less fell into it,” Long said.

Throughout his tenure with West River, Long has overseen major updates to the facility including a new front entrance, new surgical suites, a new clinic, the centennial edition, and the addition and purchase of a new MRI scanner.

“We have torn into every one of the different editions of the hospital that were done in prior years,” Long said.

Though the facility has seen major improvements under the watchful eye of Long, he said the one thing he’s most proud of has nothing to do with the building itself, but it’s medical team.

West River has recently been voted as a top 20 critical care access hospital among a pool of over 1300 facilities, two years in a row.

“That’s the entire organization, you can’t say that was

one person, or this group of people,” Long said. “It really takes the entire organization in order to achieve that.”

He has faith in the administrative team he is leaving behind, and that helps him feel very comfortable to be retiring now. He said they are young, energetic, and bright. They aren’t just willing to accept change, but they are willing to help create it, Long said.

“I look at the entire team, including Matt, and think ‘yeah, what a great team I’m leaving behind,’” Long said.

“I’m leaving behind a really good team.”

He said the administration now mirrors that of the administration in place when he first started working at West River.

Long has stayed on as a consultant to new CEO Matthew Shahan, and thinks that his last day will be sometime in June. He already has plans for the immediate future, and that includes quality time at his lake cabin in South Dakota. Long also said his daughter is expecting in August, so they will go down to Texas to spend some time with the newest edition to the family before jetting off to Ireland in September.

“I don’t think I’m going to be bored,” Long said

The Missoula Children’s Theater program is coming back to Hettinger.

The school brings the program to the area every other year; in 2014 the cast performed the Wizard of Oz. Auditions for this year’s production, Sleeping Beauty, will be on Monday, April 25 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., in the gymnasium at Hettinger High School. All students in kindergarten through eighth grade enrolled at Hettinger Public School will be eligible to tryout.

Usually 50 to 60 students come out to participate, Ly Hendry said. Hendry is the elementary school principal and plays an instrumental role in brining the group the Hettinger. The production this year has about 60 parts, so Hendry is hoping kids will come out to fill those roles.

Though auditions are on Monday, Hendry said the cast members with larger roles will begin rehearsals that evening, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Regular rehearsals will be every day next week from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., though cast members will have individual schedules based on the size of their role.

Performances are Saturday, April 30. One will begin at 3 p.m. with the second starting at 5:30 p.m. Admission will be $5 for adults and $3 for students, and it will cover both shows. So if you would like to attend both showings, you will only be required to pay one admission.

“They only charge people once,” Hendry said. “If they want to come to it twice they don’t have to pay again.”

Hendry wanted to acknowledge Coleen Galbreth. Galbreth is hosting the Missoula Children’s Theater directors that will come out and work with the kids throughout the week.

SADOWSKY SIGNS

Sharpshooting guard inks committment to Williston State College

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Sharpshooting senior guard Hayden Sadowsky had made his choice.

In a quiet ceremony at center court in the Hettinger High School gym, Sadowsky signed his letter of intent to play basketball for the Williston Tetons at Williston State College. Sadowsky scored 465 points this season, averaging over

20 points per game. He was also named to the All State Team for the second year in a row, and garnered a North Dakota Mr. Basketball nomination.

He said there were three or four other schools he was looking at before ultimately deciding that Williston was the place. Sadowsky said the stress level has decreased now that he inked his commitment, saying that it was a good feeling.

Williston Teton Head Coach Cory Fehringer stands behind Hayden Sadowsky as he signs his letter of intent. Also with him was his mother Melissa (Left) and sister Sidra (Right).

(Photo by Cole Benz/The Record) “It’s a lot of stress put away now,” Sadowsky said.

“I feel good now.”

The coaches at Williston showed him a great deal of respect, and made him feel like they really wanted him, he said. Ultimately Sadowsky made his decision because he felt that the situation would work well for him. His new coach, Cory Fehringer, said that Sadowsky’s skill sets will work well for their offensive scheme.

“We’re aggressive offensively, we’ve averaged over 90 points per game the last two seasons,” Fehringer said.

Sadowsky’s best skill by far is his scoring, and he’ll have plenty of opportunities to do it again at the next level with Fehringer’s Tetons.

Fehringer gives his players a lot of freedom on the offensive side of the ball, so they need to be able to make plays, he said. Sadowsky’s ability to handle double

cruiting Sadowsky all season, and Fehringer said that he was the first person they offered a scholarship to when rules allowed in April.

“He said yes, and we were able to make it official, it was a good day for the Tetons,” Fehringer said. “We feel like we got better today.”

Sadowsky will report to Williston in early June for a camp featuring returning sophomores, the other two freshman signees and some top players from around the state. Fehringer said it will be a good head start for Sadowsky to get acclimated to the college game and get comfortable in his surroundings before the regular season starts.

Official practices begin Oct. 1, with the first regular season game Nov. 1. The regular season commences in February, but Fehringer hopes the team will be playing basketball in the postseason in March.

The Tetons are a part of the National Junior College Athletic Association’s MonDak Athletic Conference.

The Mon-Dak conference includes Bismarck State College, Dakota College at Bottineau, Dawson Community College, Lake Region State College, North Dakota College of Science, and United Tribes Technical College.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Positional Analysis Weekly Viking Roundup By JORDAN WRIGHT For The Record

With the NFL draft rapidly approaching, let’s take a look at the four worst position groups for the Minnesota Vikings and how they can be fixed. For this article, I averaged the player grades from Pro Football Focus for each position. All players who are on the roster and saw the field last season (therefor given a player grade by PFF) were taken into account. The averages also factor additions and subtractions to the roster, so for example Mike Wallace’s grade doesn’t affect the wide receiver’s overall average, while Alex Boone’s player grade will be factored into the offensive guard’s average.

To recap, coming in at the fourth worst position was offensive guard, which was only slightly better than the third worst position group, the tight ends. There wasn’t much separation between the guards (66.28) and the tight ends (65.48). Unfortunately, the next group on this list is considerably worse than the previous two.

As I was going through all the information, this group was by far the biggest surprise to me. I never would’ve guessed the linebacker position was the second worst on the team.

With Anthony Barr graded as the second best linebacker in the entire NFL, my assumption was his grade would alleviate the lower grades placed upon Greenway and Kendricks.

However, that wasn’t the case, as the linebackers have an abysmal average of only 58.68.

My initial thought was the rest of the NFL must

have some pretty low grades as well, because there is no way the Vikings’ linebacking corps is one of the worst in the NFL. After running the numbers, the Vikings come in at number 20 as a team, which is considerably lower than I anticipated.

So why are the Vikings’ linebackers rated so low?

There are a number of reasons, but the biggest reasons are Eric Kendricks’ coverage grade (36.6) and Chad Greenway’s run defense grade (29.7). The good news is that Kendricks was a rookie and showed positive signs of improvement throughout the season. Chad Greenway had a down year by his standards, but he will hopefully see the field less and less as the Vikings play Kendricks more and more.

The Vikings attempted to improve their linebackers this offseason by signing a couple young free agents in Travis Lewis and Emmanuel Lamur. Travis Lewis brings in a PFF grade of 63.1, good for third best of any Vikings’ linebacker.

However, Lamur has the lowest grade of any linebacker, bringing a 39.7 player grade with him from Cincinnati.

If the Vikings look to the draft to improve their linebackers, they will have plenty of options. My favorite option would be Jaylon Smith from Notre Dame. Smith injured his knee in Notre Dame’s bowl game last season, and there is a possibility he won’t play in 2016. However, had he not gotten injured, Smith was projected to be a top 5 player in this year’s draft.

The Vikings would be a perfect landing spot for Smith, since Greenway is coming back for one more season, allowing Smith to sit this year and learn from some of the best.

Some other options available to the Vikings in the first couple rounds are: Darron Lee from Ohio State, who has plenty of speed and athleticism but

ATHLETE PROFILE

can’t seem to put it all together. Lee was asked to cover more than any other linebacker from Ohio State, and the results were a mixed bag.

Reggie Ragland from Alabama is my definition of a thumper, more suited to the middle linebacker spot in Zimmer’s defense.

Ragland has just enough speed that he wouldn’t be a liability in coverage, but if he were compared to Barr or Kendricks he would look like he’s stuck in molasses.

Su’a Cravens from USC is a safety/linebacker hybrid player. In today’s NFL, the line between safety and linebacker is becoming blurry. Cravens has the speed you want in a linebacker, but does he have the size and strength to take on and shed blocks?

Scooby Wright III from Arizona is similar to Ragland in that he is fairly slow but has great instincts that allows him to anticipate better than more linebackers. Wright would strictly be a middle linebacker.

Joshua Perry from Ohio State is another linebacker who does everything fairly well but nothing great.

Nick Kwiatkowski from West Virginia is a player who hasn’t gotten much hype this offseason, but he has a realistic chance to be one of the best linebackers from this draft class. He is my sleeper, a player who will be drafted late in the draft but outperform many players taken ahead of him.

Tune in next week as I reveal the worst position group on the team.

Congratulations to Tim S. from Luverne MN for correctly guessing the order and winning a Vikings themed prize! Thanks to everyone who participated.

Look for more contests in the near future!

Brandon Pierce

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record Brandon Pierce is one of those gifted and dedicated athletes that seems to me to be diminishing. He plays every sport he possibly can.

He starts out the school year with football, goes to basketball and finishes the school year by participating in both baseball and track.

After school is out he jumps right into summer baseball and in all the sports, he is one of the key players on the team. He will be hard to replace.

He achieved many awards and accomplishments during his school years including 2015 First Team AllState in 9-man football, All-Region 7 in basketball, two-time All Region in football and placed eighth in the State High Jump.

He attributes his preparation for being the best athlete he could be by making sure to attend all practices.

He also credits his father who pushed him to reach his full potential and by encouraging him.

As far as advice given to him, he stated; “After my last basketball game Coach Jeremy Dietchman told us how the sun will rise tomorrow even if it didn’t feel like it then.”

North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

I took in the Night Hawk/ Shiloh baseball game at Shiloh on a beautiful April 14 day, even though Shiloh won. If you have never seen Shiloh’s sports complex you need to catch a game there. I believe it is as good or better than many Class A facilities. While I was watching the baseball game, the University of Mary was using the football field for their spring practice.

The Night Hawk track teams had a busy week as the girls finished tied for ninth with 31 points in the 25 team Bison-Miner Track Meet on April 12 at Hazen.

Hazen won the girls portion with 113 points. The boys tied with New England for 19th with 10 points and Trinity won the boys with 111 points.

Brady Wegh won four individual events leading the

Mott-Regent boys to first place at the Beach Invite on April 15. Mott-Regent’s boys collected 133 points.

The Bowman County girls team took first place with 171 team points in the girls meet. The HettingerScranton boys came in sixth place with 59 points in the 10-team meet, and girls finished in fourth with 58 points. The highest placers for the Night Hawk boys were Sam Kludt second in the Triple Jump with a leap of 39-03.50 and second also in the 200 with a time of 24.69. Ty Lochowitzer finished second in the High Jump with a jump of 5-06.

The highest placers for the girls were Elizabeth Bartholomy in the 100 with a time of 13.82. 2. The 800 relay also placed first with a time of 2:03.08. The team was comprised of Elizabeth Bartholomy, Taylor Burwick, Shawdai Curtis and Elizabeth Thompson.

Players have been selected for Team North Dakota to go up against Team Montana in the annual Badlands Bowl. This year the game is at Dickinson on June 18. As far as I can determine only four players from 9-man teams were selected out of the 33 selected players.

INSIDE: HOLIDAY CAROLING IN HETTINGER

Only Denver Colgrove of Richardton-Taylor-Hebron came from Region 5.

Three Night Hawk wrestlers took part in the 2016 NWCA/USAW National Scholastic Duals in Crawfordsville, Ind., this past weekend. Kyle Burwick helped lead the North Dakota team to a 4-3 record as he went 6-1 in his dual matches. Alec Andress and Isaac Anderson wrestled for the ND Blue team that went 0-6. Andress finished 2-4 and Isaac went 1-5 in their matches. This was a very tough tournament as numerous states had teams entered.

Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows:

- Apr. 22, Girls Varsity JV & JH golf at Bowman - Apr. 23, Varsity Track Meet at Lemmon - Apr. 26, Varsity Track Meet at Dickinson - Apr. 26, Varsity Baseball vs Beulah at Hettinger - Apr. 26, Girls Varsity, JV & JH golf at Beulah - Apr. 28, Varsity Baseball vs Kidder Co. at Hettinger - Apr. 29, JH & Varsity Track Meet at Beach

- Apr. 29, Boys Varsity, JV & JH golf at Beulah See you at the games!

and Ranch Management.

Brandon finalized by adding; “I just want to thank everyone who gave me the opportunities to succeed in sports and life.”

I would like to add that you will missed Brandon for your all-around sports ability and the excitement you brought to the games. He had an ability to be a bruising fullback and linebacker in football and yet he was so smooth in driving the lane in basketball for an easy layup.
