County NEW CEO STARTS to test alert AT WEST RIVER system A YEAR IN REVIEW A NEW ERA
In conjunction with the Statewide Tornado Drill on Wednesday, April 27 at 10:15 a.m. MDT, Adams County will be testing the Reverse 911 Notification and ping4alerts! systems as part of the Emergency Notification System. The Reverse 911 Notification system allows Adams County Emergency Services to send telephone notifications to Adams County residents and 8-9 pages businesses within an area impacted or threatened by an emergency. The system utilizes 9-1-1 databases, and is therefore able to contact listed and unlisted land-line telephones. If a call is picked up by an answering machine, the system will leave a voice message.

tend the Adult Prom, you can still support the campaign by buying a ticket. The Schedule of Events for the Adult Prom are as follows: 5:00 p.m. Social/Appetizers/Silent Auction 7:00 pm Grand March 8:00 pm Live Auction 7:00-9:00 Portrait/Fun Photography 7:30-12:30 Dance to Hot Trax The goal for this year’s event is to raise $20,000 net. We’ve set our goals high, but we believe the Hettinger Area Community will once again rise to the occasion. When there’s a need in this area, our area community has pulled together for the betterment of everyone. As for the status of our “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign, we currently have raised over $84,000 – and after this
Adult Prom, we are hoping to be well over $100,000 raised. Our overall goal is to raise $145,500 so we can renovate every room with new flooring, lighting, painting, furniture, decorations, sinks and toilets. We have our work cut out for us, but we believe in this area’s people coming through for the future. After all, everyone might need a fivestar care center someday. If you have any questions regarding the “One Room” Campaign or the upcoming Adult Prom on April 16, please contact Ted Uecker. He’ll be glad to come present to your organization, business or family. Or maybe he can bring you an Adult Prom ticket. Or pick up a silent auction item? Whatever it may be, we at the WRHS Foundation are willing to bend over backwards for our community – just like they have done for us over the past years. Onward!
Thank You! The family of Bennie Davidson extends a heartfelt thank you to all that helped us through this difficult time. Thank you to the ambulance crew and hospital staff that cared for Bennie as one of their own family. Thanks to the hospital social services which guided us on this journey and Pastor Mary who consoled our family as we celebrated Bennie’s life.

Prom Tonight! Hettinger Prom 2016 By COLE BENZ
Record Editor It was a night of elegance. Prom 2016 at Hettinger High School saw over 400 community members attended the Grand March event, according to Jeri Dunn. Dunn said that the prom committee (made up of the junior class), printed 380 programs. They didn’t have any left 10 minutes prior the beginning of the event, with the crowd still growing. The theme was ‘Depth of Forever’ and it was voted on and organized by the junior class. No donations are given for the event, so the class has to hold fundraisers to pay for the event. They started planning late in the fall this year.
Forty couples attended this event this year. Master of Ceremonies was Mr. Dave Erickson, and DJ for the evening was Luke from K-Hook. Ushers were Michael Earl and Tabitha Munoz with Usherettes Katie Schaur, Both Hunter, and Ethan Daughtery. Lighting technician was Henry Hanson. A rotation of Dunn, Mr. Lefebre, Mr. Moser, Mr. Jameson, Mrs. Kristy and Mrs. Joyce chaperoned the evening. Dunn wanted to send out a big thanks to the junior class, Mr. Lefebre, and Mrs. Kristy for making the event possible. “Because without them I couldn’t have done anything,” Dunn said. The prom decorations will be featured at West River Health Services Foundation Adult Prom on April 16.

OPINION Baptism Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Record
Hello, Now that is Easter has ended, calving is rolling along, farmer’s are currying the ground, and Shirley is watering her tulips, I can officially declare that spring is dang sure here. And rain is just over the ridge and headed this way. I hope. It’s pretty dang dry in our neck of the woods. Farmers, ranchers, mallard hens, and catfish are hoping things turn around and we get some needed moisture in the upcoming weeks. And that got me to thinking about water. And when you think of water, one of the first places that comes to most peoples minds is the Little Missouri River. The Little Mo starts in Wyoming near Devils Tower. It comes cuts across the corner of Montana by Alzada and bends into South Dakota and runs through Camp Crook. In its early stages you can step across it. Often in spring run offs it jams up with ice and can become treacherous. The story I heard takes place in the middle of summer when the river is flowing gently through this beautiful country. There was a traveling minister that was preaching the gospel in an area that really needs it. Harding County. And he decided he would hold a baptism in the Little Missouri River at

Neighboring News Camp Crook. The ranchers all came into town to witness this wondrous event. Well, actually many of the ranchers were still in town, because there was a prime rib supper at the “Over the Edge” bar and grill on Saturday Night. And friends don’t let friends… Anyway the minister had Matt and Eric and Ivan and several others down at the river washing away their sins. People were Amening and Alleluiaing and so forth when one old cowboy that was still a little full woke up behind the Corner Bar and wandered down to the river. The minister saw this poor devil, grabbed him by the arm and led him into the water. He took him by the back of the neck, forced his head under water, and lifted him back up. “Have you found the Lord?” The cowboy spit out some water and said, “No.” The minister forced his head under water, held him down for two minutes, and brought him back up. “Have you found the Lord?” The cowboy spit out a bunch of muddy water, stammered a little, and said, “Nope.” The minister forced his head under water, held him under for four minutes! “Now have you found the Lord?” The cowboy spit out about a quart of silty Little Missouri water, looked at the minister, and drunkenly replied, “No, are you sure this is where he went down!” Later, Dean

Nighthawk basketball teams both down Harding County By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer 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. Casey Joppa tallied 19 and Kinsey Jahner added 11 for the Nighthawks. Both had two 3-pointers.

shrugged off the question as he pointed at Garvey. “As our chief security officer, what do you suggest?” “First, we need to screen people coming and going through town,” Garvey suggested. “Main Street is a sieve for terrorists.” “Maybe should we put one of those airport detector outfits in the middle of Main Street,” proposed Orville Jordan. “That’s pretty high tech for our level of incompetency,” noted Garvey. “Who would run it?” “Max Berkin over at Neckersville Lawnmower Repair is pretty good with a wrench,” suggested Holger Danske. “Better yet, the town should buy one of those drone things to fly over Main Street and watch for suspicious activity,” Orville added. “That won’t work,” Einar warned. “You have to register drones and terrorists would hack the register and find out that we have a drone thing watching Main Street and they would sneak into town on the dump ground road.” “Yup,” added Jimmy. “If they can hack Target, they can hack anybody.” He had the only computer in town. “Backpacks are rally the weapons of choice for terrorists,” Dorsey Crank, the retired mail carrier, pointed out. “If we could strip them of their backpacks, they would be harmless.” “I’ve been reading about outlaw days in Dodge City,” reported Old Sievert as he took another healthy snort of cranberry juice.

“Gunslingers checked their guns at the bar when they came to town. We could make everybody check backpacks and that would be the end of our worries.” “Well, we haven’t had a bar since Dinty closed shop in 1947 so where would terrorists check their backpacks?” worried Orville. “We could set up a booth on the road into town and make everybody put their backpacks in there while in town and pick ‘em out on the way out – use an honor system,” Einar speculated. “Honor!” steamed Old Sievert. “They’re coming to blow up our town. That’s plain mean. What kind of honor is that?” “We should at least pass a rule against backpacks at our meetings,” Josh proposed. “But nobody has ever come to our meetings with a backpack,” countered Einar. “Of course, Madeleine has a monster purse but we know her.” “That’s exactly the way terrorists want us to think,” Josh persisted. “When our guard is down, some terrorist will walk into our meeting with a backpack and wipe out the brains of our whole security system.” “I’m sure those Brussels people are planning to fight backpacks. Maybe we should ask them for help,” Dorsey suggested optimistically. “Great idea! Wonderful idea!” exclaimed Old Sievert cheerfully as he led a migration out the door. His fifth of cranberry juice was gone and his gout felt much better, much better.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
Politics in North Dakota That’s Life By TONY BENDER
Guest Columnist
It was a scintillating week in North Dakota, as oil barons from all over the country descended on Fargo to choose Republican candidates to take North Dakota back. Every delegate got a can of 10w-40 and a swift kick in the butt. Meanwhile, hundreds of tourists flocked to the state Democratic convention in Bismarck to see what a North Dakota Democrat looks like. If you read the history books, you know Democrats are not unheard of in North Dakota. But one is spotted about as often as a moose wanders into Gwinner. Some people say there’s an uncanny resemblance between Doug Burgum and a Democrat. But, make no mistake, he is an avowed conservative. We know this because he said it in his commercials several hundred times last week. Lest he be confused with some kind of hipster software mogul. “Conservative Doug Burgum... Conservative Doug Burgum...” Burgum repeated the mantra so often, many people became convinced Doug is his middle name. Then again, every Halloween, I dress up like Superman and
I still can’t fly. If Conservative Doug Burgum had a chance for the Republican nomination, he blew it when he declared he was willing to work for free. That immediately aroused suspicions among the party faithful. A man who willingly gives his paycheck back to the state must be some kind of Socialist — or possibly a Scientologist. Ultimately, the GOP nomination went to Wayne Stenehjem, because, as one party spokesman explained, “If people can learn to spell Dalrymple, they can learn to spell Stenehjem.” The Republicans had all kinds of star power at their convention, with Ted Cruz oddly denying in his speech that he is the Zodiac Killer and insisting any bodies found in his hotel room were there before he checked in. Cruz concluded his speech by cryptically repeating the same phrase over and over: “Redrum... redrum... redrum...” The speechwriter for Ben Carson revealed that sometimes he just cuts words out of magazines and feeds them into the teleprompter, “Because, seriously, who will know the difference?” At one point, Carson went off script to enhance his street cred, confessing to stabbing a friend in the belt buckle, chasing his mother with a hammer, dropping an anvil on Wile E. Coyote, and not returning his library books. Not to be outdone, Conservative Doug Burgum later regaled Carson with his hardscrabble conservative upbringing in Arthur, where the use of chewing tobacco
was so prevalent, not a night went by when there wasn’t a drive-by spitting. Then it got even weirder. U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer endorsed Donald Trump, who apparently is going to put him in charge of the hundreds of new women’s prisons that will be necessary under a Trump Administration. This decision, despite Chris Christie blinking out in Morse Code during a campaign appearance last week, “I’m scared and I want my mommy.” Cramer might have been better off endorsing the Zodiac Killer. Cramer’s opponent for the state’s lone U.S. House seat will be Chase Iron Eyes, a charismatic speaker who was gleefully set upon by
conservative blogger Rob Port for the four felonies Iron Eyes racked up 14 years ago when he says, as an alcoholic, he hit rock bottom. Iron Eyes spoke openly of the car theft and burglary during his acceptance speech. However, the fact Iron Eyes took antique guns in the burglary might actually play well with the NRA. They don’t care much how you get a gun, as long as you have one. Meanwhile, North Dakota Republicans breathed a sigh of relief when U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp did not swoop in and and claim the gubernatorial nomination, single-handedly sweeping Republicans out of office like Joan of Arc, as had been rumored.
Along with the majority of state political offices held, the Republicans also lead North Dakota in paranoia. For months, every night before they went to bed, they checked underneath for Heidi Heitkamp. State Rep. Marvin Nelson got the Democratic nod for governor. It will be an uphill slog for Nelson in a state that opposed Common Core, largely because it involved teaching all letters of the alphabet and not just the “R” necessary for voting the right way. Nelson may have a chance, if he can get Stenehjem to debate and if anyone actually watches the debates. Most pundits agree Stenehjem finished a distant fourth in last month’s debate
against Conservative Doug Burgum and Rick Becker, a plastic surgeon whose campaign was bogged down by sound conservative policies. Stenehjem’s radio ads last week were sunnily optimistic about the diversity of the state’s economy—yeah, we’ve got agriculture and energy and energy and agriculture—and the sound fiscal policies that created a $1.1 billion deficit. And then he clicked his ruby slippers three times. Some folks wondered last week if the Democratic Party, which still hasn’t filled the slots for a number of statewide races, is dead in North Dakota. Nah, but true fiscal conservatism is on life support. © Tony Bender, 2016
Williams Beegle, who we called Nina, was born in Novosibirsk, Russia in 1931. Her father was killed by the communists when she was a little girl and, after being alerted by a neighbor, she and her mother escaped by walking to Turkey with just the clothes on their backs and some coins sewed into her coat. Anna married Jim Williams when he was in the Navy stationed over there. Jim was the son of Buck’s Uncle Roy Williams, a night sergeant with the Rapid City Police for several years. The next Great Western Cattle Trail meeting will be at 6:00 on April 11 at the Heritage Center in Spearfish. The Heritage Center Open House will be all day on April 23rd. Hope to see you there. The wedding shower for Natasha Krempges and Brock Besler at the Reva Hall Sunday afternoon was well-attended and they got a lot of nice things. They’re a really nice couple and they’re getting married June 11th in Salem. It always takes a while to get used to the way the opposite sex sees things, so I’ll leave you with this story that illustrates different perspectives between men and women: A wife asks her husband, “Would you please go shopping for me? Buy one carton
of milk and, if they have avocados, get six.” A short time later the husband comes back with six cartons of milk. The wife asks him, “Why did you buy six cartons of milk?”
He replied, “They had avocados.” If you’re a woman, I’m sure you’re going back to read it again! Men will get it the first time. My work is done here.
Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON
It was cool and windy most of the week, but the snow we got a week ago Friday has melted. We got a little shower Tuesday night that left .17 hundredths in the rain gauge. Thursday morning we woke up to about a half inch of what looked like snow, but was ass a actually sleet. The ground t ourwas covered with little white ed. pellets that soon melted away and this Saturday ith the mercury soared to 74 degrees! Quite a variety of weather – must be spring! Don McKinstry’s funeral rse was at the Presbyterian Church in Bison Monday y nk,” morning, so I went to say our goodbye to my old friend ror- before driving to Pierre for et- Veto Day the next morning. Growing up in Bison, we ur attended the Presbyterian Church where I sang in the choir with Don and joined to the Youth Group. Don and we his wife Agnes took a bunch p,” of us kids to Hot Springs for misti- a Youth Group event and some of us stayed overnight ul at the home of former state evert Senator John Mueller and gra- his wife, which was my first fth brush with politics. one Theodora Larson brought et- a team of horses to pull the hearse to the cemetery north of town and Irv Tescher let me ride with him to the grave site. Irv likes history as much as I do, so we had a good visit about some of the old
cowboys we knew growing up. Sheriff Al Wessel, Dode Willey, Fred Jennewin, my grandfather Clem White, and Harold Coe were just a few we talked about. Irv had a picture with him in his pickup of Harold Coe and Irv team roping in Fort Pierre years ago. When I was a little kid in Prairie City, Dode and Clara Willey lived next door to us. Dode was one of the 1902 cowboys and my hero. Another one of my heroes was the one-eyed 1902 cowboy Fred Jennewein, who wore a black patch over his right eye. Fred was the curator of the old Bison museum that had the cattle brands from the big cow outfits carved into the stucco on the front of the building, built by my great-grandfather Carl Hallan next to the first Perkins County Courthouse. When we moved to Bison following my first grade year at North Strool School east of Prairie City, I spent a lot of time hanging out at the museum and listening to Fred’s history lessons. The Jenneweins and McKintrys are related and Irv and I got to visit with Fred’s grandson, John Jennewein at Don’s funeral. Veto Day went well for the governor, but so good for rural South Dakota. Sen. Craig Tieszen asked that we sustain the veto of his bill SB 96 to revise the expense reimbursement for members of the Board of Pardons and Paroles because he agreed with the governor that it needed more work, so we voted to sustain the veto. Sen. Corey Brown’s bill, SB 100 to enhance South Dakota economic development through broadband infrastructure improvements, didn’t fare so well. The
Senate voted 32-1 to override the governor’s veto, but the House shot it down because they couldn’t get a two thirds majority. The loss that bothered me the most was SB 136 permitting 50 feet of cropland along lakes, rivers, and streams to be assessed as noncropland if it was planted to grass as a buffer zone to filter the runoff from cropland to protect water quality. The Senate voted 32 to 1 to overturn the veto, but it lost in the House on a 37-28 vote with five excused, which counts the same as a no vote. It originally passed the House on a 58 to 9 vote, so a lot of House members flipped. Loren Opstedahl and his crew came to shear our sheep Wednesday. There were five shearers and Michelle Ashton bagged the wool. Trig missed school to help Casey, Missy, Taz, Amanda, Reub and me. Ryne Baier came to help and Matt and Lanie came down from Dickinson Tuesday night. Lanie had her doctor appointment in Hettinger Wednesday afternoon, so they had to leave before the shearers were finished, but everything went well and we had beautiful weather for the job. We just found out about the loss of a wonderful friend and relative. Anna

Nighthawk basketball teams both down Harding County By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer
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-
•• •• •• Sales Sales Agent Agent 701-567-2272 701-567-2272
26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points. They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied. The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot. Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the
Nighthawks. Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points. The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53. Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks. The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the
Harding County girls who came in with a 1-3 record. The Hettinger/Scranton girls also jumped out to an early lead as they were head 16-1 after the first stop, and 25-15 at half. They held on in the second half although being outscored 2421 to pull off their second win of the season to go along with five losses. Casey Joppa tallied 19 and Kinsey Jahner added 11 for the Nighthawks. Both had two 3-pointers.

North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON
Former NDSU quarterback Carson Wentz is currently a possible first round pick in the upcoming NFL draft. But not only is his stock in the draft rising but also the price of his football trading card. One of Wentz’s autographed cards was recently sold for $201.50. Here are some interesting facts on ND State B Baseball champions. Drayton won the title six straight years from 1958-1963. Hatton has won a total of seven titles with the first one in 1969 and seventh one in 1988. According to the April 16 bulletin from the NDHSAA web site, the Night Hawk Girls basketball team had one of the highest team grade point average with a GPA of 3.81. Bowman’s team came in at 3.84. Track starts this week, and the table shows the minimum standards to qualify for the state meet meet. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - April 8, Girls Elementary Volleyball vs RichardtonTaylor at Hettinger - April 8, Varsity Track Meet at Spearfish, S.D. - April 12, Girls Elementary Volleyball triangular vs Killdeer & Trinity at Killdeer - April 12, Varsity Track Meet at Hazen - April 12, Varsity Baseball vs Kidder Co. at Steele - April 14, Girls Elementary Volleyball at Bowman - April 14, Varsity Baseball at Shiloh - April 15, JH Track Meet at Lemmon - April 15, Varsity Track Meet at Beach See you at the games!
at Mountrail Bethel Home surrounded by her family. Funeral service was Monday, April 4, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Knife River Lutheran Church at rural Stanley. Visitation was Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Springan Funeral Home in Stanley. Burial will in the church cemetery. Sarabelle Jane Rogne was born March 19, 1925. She was born to Ole and Sophie Rogne rural Regent, ND. She attended a rural grade school and graduated from Regent High School in 1943. Sarabelle was united in marriage to J. Harold Braaten on June 10, 1945 at Wolf Butte Lutheran Church near Reeder. Harold was the love of her life and they were married for 62 years. They started their life together in a three-room house next to Harold’s parents. They lived and farmed north of Reeder until August of 1963 when they purchased the Sikes Ranch and moved to Mountrail County where they enjoyed the trees and wildlife in the valley. After their retirement from farming, Harold and Sarabelle moved into Stanley. In April 2006 they moved to the Brentmoor in Minot, N.D.. In March 2010 Sarabelle moved to Mountrail Bethel Home in Stanley. Sarabelle was an active
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. Coming in at number four is the offensive guard position. Even including Alex Boone (who’s player grade is the second highest of the group), the guard position has an average grade of only 66.28. Without context, an average grade doesn’t give us much information. With that in mind, I took a look at the other teams around the league and averaged their offensive guards’ player grades to give us a good idea of just where the Vikings are in the
larger picture. The Vikings’ grade of 66.28 ranks 13th in the league, which is honestly a lot higher than I anticipated. I believe that says a lot about this team, as one of their lowest ranked positions is still in the top half of the league. The Vikings rank higher than teams like the Denver Broncos (62.96), New England Patriots (59.72), and Seattle Seahawks (43.65). So how can the Vikings improve the guard position? My honest assessment is that the Vikings don’t need to do anything. With the addition of Alex Boone, the Vikings will have plenty of competition at the guard position. Boone should slide into the left guard position, allowing Brandon Fusco and Mike Harris to compete for the right guard position. Also, if John Sullivan comes back at full strength, there is a chance the Vikings move Joe Berger to guard. If we were to include Berger’s player grade of 89.1 with the rest of the guards, the average moves up to 70.84, which would be good for 10th in the league. If the Vikings have their hearts set on drafting an offensive guard in the top half of the draft, there are a few prospects who should be available to them. Cody Whitehair from Kansas State is generally regarded as the best guard in the draft. A four-year starter at tackle for the Wildcats, Whitehair is better at run blocking and has the aggression that Zimmer
is looking for in his offensive linemen. The Vikings will need to grab Whitehair in the first round, as he will almost certainly be gone by the time the Vikings pick in the second. Germain Ifedi from Texas A&M is another college tackle that projects as a guard at the next level. Ifedi may not have the aggression of Whitehair, but he should be better in pass protection. Ifedi may need a year or two to reach his potential, and might therefore be available to the Vikings in the second round. Joshua Garnett from Stanford did not get much playing time his first few years in college because there was incredible talent ahead of him on the depth chart. However, Garnett earned the starting gig his senior year and went on to win the Outland Trophy which is given to the top interior offensive lineman. With power and a nasty streak that allows him to be a tremendous run blocker, Garnett will need to improve his pass protection to become a quality starter in the NFL. Garnett projects as a second or third round draft pick. Think you can predict the three position groups that are rated lower than the offensive guards? Let me know your guess by e-mail (skoljwright@gmail.com), Facebook (facebook.com/ skoljwright) or on Twitter (@skoljwright). Any guesses that accurately predict the positions and have them in the correct order will win a Vikings themed prize!

family grew to love Hettinger. With the fondness he and his family developed for the community, they knew that making this move was the right choice. “Since we moved here in 2009, we absolutely love the community of Hettinger,” Shahan said. “We really like Hettinger and this is where we want to be.” Shahan said that his understanding of industrial technology (IT) and how it impacts medicine is an asset he will be bringing to the CEO position. He said playing that ‘translator’ between entities is a skill he developed during his time in San Francisco. “Part of my job in San Francisco was relaying IT to non-IT people,” Shahan said. He also has experience with implementing technological changes, at the Glendive Medical Center he oversaw the facility move into a new EMR system. Shahan said that having that hands on experience should also help with his ability to communicate. “[To] kind of have that hands on experience with how what we, as administration, are asking providers to do, how it impacts their daily lives, how it impacts their ability to provide care to their patients,” Shahan said. “And then being able

adamscountyextra.com to react to that to try to make changes in a positive way for them.” Communication will be a big part of how Shahan does his job, he said, and he will want to keep that line of communication open with the community,
which is something he believes is important for the CEO. A key to successful community outreach, according to Shahan, is just being present and available. “In a small community, people want to be able to talk to you about what they think could better the community and maybe how West River could help with that,” Shahan said. “You have to be present and you have to be willing to sit down and talk with everybody.” One thing he would like to see sustained is the hospital’s independence.
“As long as we can remain independent I think we can truly deliver the care that our patients need and our patients deserve in a rural area,” he said. Shahan will always be looking to find ways to improve the current processes too. Looking at the process, and being aware of efficiency opportunities is something that will be ongoing, and not only to improve how the providers perform their job, but also to keep costs down for patients. “We always have to be looking for efficiencies,” Shahan said. “All a cross the board we have to look at it, because in the end all the costs we have are passed to our patients, we need to be able to keep those costs as low as possible so we can have affordable healthcare.” Making sure patients are not receiving duplicate services is just one example Shahan cited as something they may be able to improve. As he walked in on his first day he was reacquainted with many staff members he knows from his first employment at West River. He joked that they were happier to have his wife back in town then himself. “Just to be a part of the community again was a great feeling,” he said. “It truly feels like coming home to my wife and I.” Shahan and his wife, who is a nurse, have two young daughters.
