Huskies have seven placers at final tournament By COLE BENZ

Record Editor

The Hettinger Huskie USA Wrestling club finished their season on a high note in Jamestown at the State Freestyle and Greco wrestling tournament on April 29-30. The team sent nine wrestlers and placed seven of them. Connor Andress placed third in Greco and fourth in freestyle. Cade Warbis

placed fifth in Greco. Cooper Guthrie didn’t place in greco but wrestled to a 2ndplace finish in freestyle. Tyler Schalesky placed fifth in Greco and third in freestyle. Isaac Guthrie and Skye Kramlich also competed, but neither place. Huskies head coach Randy Burwick said that both wrestlers won matches, and that Kramlich competed in the largest weight group in his age division.

After previously placing first at the Folkstyle state tournament, Kyle Burwick capped his season off by winning the North Dakota Triple Crown when he placed first in Greco and freestyle. The Huskies started wrestling shortly after the high school wrestling season ended. This year they had over 60 kids come out for the team, and Burwick said he witnessed an improve-

ment of his team from last year. “It was crazy,” Burwick said about the change he saw from last season. The Huskies usually wrestle between 40 and 50 matches of USA tournament wrestling each year, Burwick said. But they have a small turnout for the Greco and Freestyle tournament. Burwick thinks it’s because

Adams County Auditor Pat Carroll said that while some spots are worse than others, there is enough need to repair the whole road. “There’s work that needs to be done on all of it,” Carroll said. “Some is just worse than the other.” A start date has yet to be determined, Carroll said the county engineer was going to send an award letter to the contractor that they will have to sign and send back. When the county receives the letter back, she said they might have a better idea of when the project will begin. “I’m guessing once we receive [the signed letter] back, we’ll know a project start date, and end date,” Carroll said. An end date will be given to the contract when more is known about what the project will entail. When construction is finished the road will be paved, so a timeline may depend on what the condition is under the current chip-seal. “I guess we really won’t know [the condition] until, you know, [the contractors] get in there,” Carroll said. “They’re going to have to dig down and find out what the base

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

The project, Carroll said, a big part of the funding is coming out of grants the county received under HB1176.

“The majority of [the project] is going to be paid by that grant,” Carroll said. Carroll said the project will cost an estimated $1.7 million, and reiterated to the Record that a majority of it is covered under the grant, but she couldn’t give a percentage at this point in time. She also added that the

goal. The plan is to completely renovate each individual resident room – new flooring, new paint, new lighting, new furniture, new decorations – even new sinks and toilets! This building was erected in 1968 and is in dire need of refurbishments. Of course, no one wants to place their parents, siblings, and/or spouses into a care center; but sometimes, due to location or conditions, we have no choice. As a community, we want our elderly residents to have a nice, clean, home-like atmosphere to enjoy the last years of their life. Together we can make our current Care Center more comfortable, more appealing and more home-like for our residents. Being ranked recently as a five out of five star care center, we have the service side going strong. Now we need to improve our facility. There are a variety of different ways you can join the “One Room” Campaign: 1) you can send a check to WRHSF ($100 or more gets you on the Donor Wall; $2500 or more gets you an engraved plaque outside a resident room), 2) you can make a monetary pledge over time (say 2-5 years), 3) you can join us as a family, business, or organization, where you sponsor an entire room from $2,500 - $4,000,

IN BRIEF

Old Red Trail Rummage Sale date set Saturday, June 4 is the fifth annual Old Red Trail Rummage Sale from Mandan to Dickinson. Starting at 8 am local time, and continuing through 5 pm local time, communities are lining up events, food, and entertainment to go along with the 108 miles of Old Red Trail Rummage Sales. Look for the red balloons in the communities and try out lunch at several of the communities. New Salem Historical Society and Museum will be selling great antique items at the museum. The roadside scenery between Almont and Glen Ullin is a great drive as you travel into Hebron for the rummage sales. Before you leave, stop at Dacotah Clayworks, where there will be over 200 coleus plants of different varieties for sale. Richardton has not only the local rummage sales, but also great items at the Abbey and the Monastery for sale. A sidewalk sale at the Taylor Nursery on Main Street, Taylor, will keep you wandering through the new plants and gifts, and Gladstone is a must stop before Dickinson. Dickinson has not only rummage sales going on throughout town, but also new unique shops that can add to your trunk of treasures. The Talking Trails signs along the highway are places you don’t want to miss. Just stop at the sign, dial the number and extension and listen to the history of the site. You’ll learn about the local history along the Old Red Old Ten Scenic Byway. Jump in your vehicle and take to the road, there’s lots to pick up along the Old Red Old Ten Scenic Byway, just parallel to interstate 94. Go to Facebook - Old Red Rummage Sale 2016 for information.

Take in a workshop The NDSU Dickinson Research Extension Center is embarking on a new approach to education for agricultural producers and those interested in farm and ranch issues, according to DREC director Dr. Kris Ringwall. He announced the second round one-on-one discussions will begin May 25, 2016, at the DREC ranch headquarters southwest of Manning. Ringwall said the focus of the discussion groups is to give individuals an opportunity to discuss topics and review data collected from the research. He announced the May 25 topic of discussion will be May Calving. The DREC has been conducting research on this topic for the past four years. “We have found some opportunities and identified some situations that create a new paradigm in the cow-calf business,” Ringwall said. “I invited beef producers to the DREC ranch to hear the presentation and engage in a discussion about the topic and beef production in general.” The May Calving research project presentation will begin at 1:30 p.m. The program is free and open to the public. Ringwall will lead the program. Ringwall also announced a presentation on Range Management Options will be presented June 8, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. at the DREC ranch headquarters. DREC range scientist Dr. Llewellyn Manske will headline the presentation. Individuals seeking more information about the programs or work at the DREC can contact the Center at 701456-1100.

HCC Board of Director The Hettinger Country Club kicked off their 2016 season with a “Kickoff Scramble,” where 37 golfers came out to the course and enjoyed a 9-hole scramble golf tournament. Eight teams of foursomes and fivesomes vied for the title, with most donning their favorite football jerseys. Good thing, as they were asked to kick footballs for their drives on hole 7 and throw footballs for their drives on hole 8. From the sounds of it, the kicking and throwing was not too exemplary (but the golfing was!). After 9 holes of terrific weather, the team of Cassie/

Tyler Dick, Troy McGee, Joannie Schmaltz, and Dave Haar came in first with a score of six under par! They received cash gifts and hats for their awesome score. Coming in second at three under were the young bucks including Jerad Jacobson, Matt Schneider, Nate Weaver and Dillon Chadwick. They received cash prizes, hats and car visors. There was a three-way tie for third at two under par, but due to the tie-breaker system, the third place team consisted of Julia/Barry Melling, Jay Ohm, Sheri Uecker, and Todd Shirek. “The Family that Golf ’s Together, Stays Together” Award went to Terry, Cori, Megan and Beth Lien, as they battled

the course together. There were also individual hole prizes: Closest to the Pin on hole 3 – Tyler Dick; Closest Second Shot on hole 5 – Beth Lien; Closest Second Shot on hole 7 – Jay Ohm; Closest to the Pin on hole 8 – Christi Schmitz; and Longest Made Putt on hole 9 – David Timm. The Hettinger Country Club begins their Men’s League play Thursday, May 19; the Mixed Couples Golf League has a Mixed Scramble this Wednesday, May 18 and begins Mixed League play next Wednesday, May 25. There are still openings in the Mixed Couples League – contact Ted Uecker at 701-567-3666 to join. And the Women’s Golf

League begins on Tuesday, May 31. If interested, contact Cori Lien. The Hettinger Country Club is a 9-hole, grass green public golf course. Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy our golf course. Our green fees are affordable at $15 for 9 holes, $25 for 18. We rent carts, clubs and even our clubhouse for a fee. We have a driving range and a fully stocked bar. Come see us. It’s nice out here.

Important reminder regarding voting in the political party Primary Election on June 14 Secretary of State Al Jaeger reminds electors that they cannot vote in the column of more than one political party when marking their ballot in the political party primary section on the June 14 election ballot. The front side of the ballot contains separate columns for the Republican Party, the Democratic/NPL Party, and the Libertarian Party. Under state law, electors may only mark votes for candidates listed in the column designated for one of the political parties. In the political party primary, if an elector casts a vote for candidates in the column of more than one political party, it is considered a crossover vote and no votes cast by the elector in the political primary portion of the ballot will be counted. Therefore, it is important for

the elector to read and follow the instructions above the political party ballot columns, which are located on the front side of the ballot (see example at the bottom). When the elector is marking his or her ballot at a polling location for the June 14 election and marks votes in more than one political party’s column, the ballot tabulator will alert the voter that the votes marked cross between the separate political party primary columns. The voter will then have the option to obtain a new ballot and vote for candidates in the column

of only one political party, or the voter may cast his or her ballot as is, but the votes marked on the front side of the ballot for the political party contests will not be counted. That choice will not affect the votes cast for the No Party contests and measures on the opposite side of the ballot as those votes will still be counted. For those electors voting by absentee or mail ballot, it is particularly important to read the instructions before marking the ballot and submitting it to the county auditor’s office. Because the

ballot is transmitted to the county in a secrecy envelope, it will not be known if there is a crossover vote until the absentee and vote by mail ballots are inserted into the tabulator by a poll worker. If a voter realizes prior to returning the ballot that he or she has incorrectly marked a ballot, the voter may request a replacement ballot from the office of the voter’s county auditor. Below is an example of the layout and instructions on the Political Party Ballot. To view a complete sample ballot, go to bit.ly/MyVotingInfo.

commissioners have not yet decided what funding will be used to pay the difference between the project cost and the grant money. This project is set to benefit a couple of groups of people: community members heading to Mirror Lake, and farmers transporting crops to the elevator. Either way, Carroll said that the new surface should be better for any commuter traveling on the road. “[Pavement] will be a much better surface,” Carroll said. Needless to say it will cause some inconveniences for people wanting to get out to the lake and the park. And Carroll said she didn’t know at what point in the road construction would start. But there may be provisions in the contract preventing crews from working during special events, like the 4th Of July Celebration.

SPORTS Is Winning Contagious?

Burwick talks football with NDSU head coach Night Hawks split last two regular season games

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Hettinger/Scranton head football coach Randy Burwick had a visitor on May 4, one with a dominant, winning pedigree at the collegiate level. Chris Klieman, head football coach of the NDSU Bison. Burwick said the visits really started with Klieman’s predecessor, Craig Bohl. Burwick said Bohl made it a point to come and see him every year, along with every other high school football coach in North Dakota. “Craig Bohl made it a point, he said ‘I will see every coach in the state of North Dakota, because that’s where we’re at, we’re in North Dakota,’” Burwick said. When Klieman took over, and came for his first visit in Hettinger, Burwick told him how Bohl made the trip every year. Klieman told him he wasn’t changing anything, and would be in for a conversation each spring. The championship winning coach comes every year around the same time, it aligns with recruiting periods. Burwick said he comes in and they talk recruiting and football strategy, but this year they had some more interesting points to discuss, the scouting and draft process of former NDSU quarterback Carson Wentz. Klieman told Burwick that Wentz’s agent was incredibly nervous in the minutes before the first pick was announced. Holding the first overall pick was the Los An-

But after first pick it was only 30 seconds before the Philadelphia Eagles, who had the No. 2 overall pick, called and selected Wentz.

West River Vet Clinic would like to announce that Bobbi Munyon has received her Veterinary Assistant Degree. The Vet Clinic will have a farrier here on June 14 and also be offering a 5% discount on Coggins and horse vaccine that day. Please call ahead to make an appointment.

Aside from Klieman, Burwick got a visit from another North Dakota coach. Kyle ‘Bubba’ Schweigert, University of North Dakota head football coach, also made the trip. Schweigert is going to try and follow the practice, and visit every high school football program in the state. Buriwck is glad to see this kind of effort from two coaches of such large programs, especially when smaller schools only give him a phone call, or simply send him an email each spring. “It’s the process of saying you know what, we’re a North Dakota school, and we’ve got to visit with the North Dakota coaches.”

The Night Hawks picked up their first Region 8 baseball victory with a last inning decision over Hazen on May 16. Hazen had previously defeated the Night Hawks on April 21 by a score of 9-1. It looked like Hazen may take this one also as they scored first with three runs in the top half of the second inning. After a Night Hawk error that let the first runner on base, starting Night Hawk pitcher Brandon Pierce ran into control problems as he walked one and hit two batters. Bison senior Mason Faut had the only hit of the inning with a two-run double. The young Night Hawk team came back in the bottom of the second inning by scoring six times. They put together five hits, with the big blow being senior Brandon Pierce’s two-run triple. But Hazen wasn’t finished yet as they scored one run in each of the next three innings and then scored two in the sixth to take the lead 8-7. After the second inning the Night Hawks were only able to score once through the sixth as Hazen pitcher Josh Snyder seemed in control, retiring eight batters in a row at one point. Jarad Mattis relieved Pierce in the fifth inning with two runners on, one out and one run had already scored. He got the last two outs without allowing another run. Hazen threatened in the seventh. With one out they loaded the bases with the help of two errors and a

adamscountyextra.com walk. Mattis was able two retire the next two batters with a strikeout and fly out to left field. Freshman Jacob Dix led off in the bottom of the seventh and battled the pitcher, and ended up with a walk. Hazen coach Brent Hysjulien then pulled Snyder from the mound and brought in his ace senior Chase Bruner. On Bruner’s first pitch, Pierce hit a low inside pitch for a double, his third hit of the game, to put runners on second and third base. They then intentionally walked the Night Hawk’s clean-up hitter Hudson Pierce to load the bases and create a force out situation on all bases. Brett Christopherson fouled off a couple of pitches and then hit a slow roller to the Hazen second baseman who juggled the ball, and knowing it was too late to get

the runner going home he threw off balanced to first. The first baseman could not handle it as it got a short distance away from him. Brandon Pierce, who was the runner on second base, kept running and made it home, beating the throw from the first baseman and winning it in walk-off fashion. The next day Washburn/ Wi lton/Center- Stanton (WWCS) came to town and pulled out a 9-1 win over the Night Hawks. Brett Christopherson was on the mound for the Night Hawks. He is fairly new at pitching at this level and I thought he did well. He left after pitching six innings and his team trailing 6-1 and giving up only five hits. Hudson Pierce was like a human vacuum cleaner for the Night Hawks at third base. I had him down for fielding five grounders and throwing the runners out at first. Night Hawk hitting was down from the Hazen game as they managed only four hits. WWCS pitcher Trevor Schreiner kept the Night Hawk hitters off balance with his sweeping slow curve.

Night Hawks to face Kidder Co. The New England/Hettinger/Scranton Night Hawks are seeded No. 6 in the Region 8 Baseball Tournament that begins on Monday, May 23 in Bismarck. The tournament starts at 11 a.m. MST with Hazen (No. 4 seed) facing off

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

The track and baseball seasons are closing in on the finish line. The baseball regionals begin on May 23 at Shiloh and the regional track meet is scheduled for May 21 at Dickinson with the state meet May 27-28 at Bismarck. A little history on the State Class B meets. Since 1950 Lisbon has won the most boys state meets with eight titles and Bowman and Beulah are next with both having won five. Beulah did theirs by winning five straight titles from 1986 through 1990. Lisbon won their first state meet in 1952 and their latest was in 2013. Three communities have dominated the girls state meet since its beginning in 1971 when separate Class A and Class B meets were established. Carrington has nine titles, Hazen has eight and Bowman won seven. Both Hazen and Carrington strung six titles in a row, Hazen from 1993 through 1998 and Carrington from 1999 through 2004. Night Hawks that have qualified for state—according to the NDHSAA website—are Isaiah Kludt, Sam Kludt, Jaxon Mellmer and Brandon Pierce in the boys 4x200 meter relay. For the girls, two groups have qualified in the 4x400 relay. Group one includes Alyssa Andress, Lizzy Thompson, Tayler Burwick and Taylor Hestekin. Molly Holt, Andress, Samantha Oase and Hestekin forms group 2.

Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON

Ordinarily, I write the Roundup on Monday, but I’m writing this earlier because I have to leave for Pierre Sunday afternoon for a State & Tribal Relations Committee meeting early Monday morning. I’ll have to miss the bridal shower for Jamie Britton and Ty Thybo at the Reva Hall Sunday afternoon, but I plan on attending their wedding on the 20th at the Cadillac Ranch. We got just over a quarter of an inch of rain this week, but there was more than enough wind. It was a good thing I didn’t have anything planted in my garden yet, because it froze hard here both Friday and Saturday. Reub and I went to Belle

Fourche to Lila Van Slooten’s funeral Monday morning and then drove to Holland Center for her burial that afternoon. We’re really going to miss that lady! Mary Jean Jensen invited me to lunch with the Women’s Club in Lemmon Tuesday. Eldon Jensen and Rep. Sam Marty attended Lions Club at about the same time. Sam and I had coffee and a good visit with Mary Jean and Eldon at their house that afternoon. Taz and Amanda left Wednesday for Hawaii to celebrate their first wedding anniversary May 15th and I’ll bet they’re enjoying the weather over there! I didn’t make it to Vera Wilson’s funeral in Bison on Wednesday because we had a parts run to Bowman. The guys hooking up our underground lines had the electricity shut off when we got home that afternoon so I couldn’t even use my curling iron before we went to Reva for the feed supper that night. A lot of area ranchers came to the supper to hear the new regulations on

antibiotics in feed. Ranching would sure be a lot easier and more profitable if we could keep the government out of our business. Did you see that Staff Sgt. Anson Juelfs was named Army National Guard Logistician of the Year? Our sweet neighbor kid serves as a supply sergeant in the 842nd Engineer Company of Spearfish, Belle Fourche, and Sturgis and has been deployed overseas in some dangerous areas. We’re pretty proud of this boy. Kudos to Sherry Seymour of the Maurine School for being awarded the Junior Division Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award for South Dakota. As a winner of this award Sherry was nominated for the National Patricia Behring Teacher of the Year Award at the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day contest in June 2016. Mrs. Seymour taught at the Reva School before it was closed and she is very deserving of this award. Congratulations to both of these wonderful people!! I went to Buffalo to get

Bird boards Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Record

Hello, Do you ever think about boards? There are a lot of boards. Oh, not the 2x4 or 2x6 boards. But like the barber board, the hairdresser board, the board of animal health…the list can go on forever. I didn’t realize how many boards there are until I was in the legislature. I remember Claude getting mad at me about the barber board. Claude was our hometown barber in Watford City. The barbershop was, and still is in many communities, the center of the world. You could argue politics or the best breed of cattle. You could lambaste the city council or the county commission or you could replay the bad call the

ref made that cost you the state title in football. Anyway, I was researching a bill related to the barber board and found where to be licensed, a barber had to be “of good moral character”. I wrote that I couldn’t figure out how Claude got his license. He didn’t take kindly to criticism. I’ve served on a lot of boards. From boards dealing with the agriculture industry to boards that operated the rural fire department. You meet a lot of different kinds of people serving on boards. Some who never stop talking. And some who will serve on a board for years and never say a word. They are just there. I guess it takes all kinds. And then there are the government regulations that you have to deal with. If you are on a school board or county commission, you learn that in spite of your campaign promises, you can’t really operate as independently as you had promised. For instance, if you take federal money to put in a

pipeline to water your cattle, you have to put a board in the tank so birds taking a bath can walk out of the tank. Otherwise every few days you have to throw a dead bird out of the tank. Not real cool. Now I know what you are thinking. How in the heck is Dean going to tie all of this together. Well, years ago, one of the local grazing associations was holding an annual meeting. The discussion meandered (like a meandering stream) around until they got to talking about the pipeline project. The president of the association was talking about installing bird boards in all of the tanks on the pipeline. One old cowboy in the back of the room had kind of dozed off and when he awoke he heard them talking about bird boards. He hadn’t had much input into the meeting all afternoon and it was getting nigh onto happy hour so he wanted to end the meeting. He quickly piped up, “If it’ll help get this meeting over with, I’d sure volunteer,” he piped up. The president asked, “Volunteer for what”? “To serve on that bird board!” Later, Dean

Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

Around one-fourth of the students appearing on campuses isn’t ready for collegelevel work and require enrollment in no-credit remedial courses, resulting in a number of consequences. . Remedial courses waste student resources because they have to pay tuition for courses that do not count toward graduation. When confronted with remedial coursework, students are discouraged from pursuing careers requiring a college education and are the most likely to drop out of academia completely. Remedial courses divert college faculty from teaching the courses for which they were hired. The sad truth is that many students in need of remedial courses are not aware of their deficiencies until faced with college entrance exams

Thank You! We would like to say Thank you to every one who called us, sent cards and flowers and to those who attended our 65th anniversary open house. Thank you to the Borderline singers for performing at our program. It was great to be able to be back home and sing with the group. Also want to say a special thank you to our brother and sister-in-law Henry-Minetta and their families. Our sister Anita for all the beautiful flowers and table decorations. It was a very special day to us. Elmer & Carol Zimmermann

or other measurements used in junior and senior high school years. While the need for remedial work discourages some, others tackle the remedial work with a 75 percent success rate. This may sound good but it is safe to assume that most of the 25 percent who failed the remedial program dropped out of college and ended up in jobs that are rewarded with lower job satisfaction, smaller salaries and less job security. For the past few years, the North Dakota University System has been following “Pathways Plan” to reduce the need for remedial work by getting high schools to align course work and standards with the institutions of higher learning. While the need for an integrated approach is obvious to educators, authority to impose mandates or directives by the Board of Higher Education or from the Department of Public Instruction is limited. Under our decentralized education system, school districts establish their own standards. Our widespread phobia over testing handicaps change. The federally-sponsored No Child Left Behind and the state-sponsored Common Core both faltered on requirements for testing. Without uniform and consistent testing, parents and students will not be aware of a growing need for remedial work until it is too late. Focusing on remedial work at the college level is trying to solve the problem after the fact. By the time students get into high school, remedial work may be too late because the problem had developed long before high school. To search for the root

the weather, so we missed it. Congratulations to all the graduates. I couldn’t find a good graduation joke, but here is some good advice for high school graduates: 1. Say thank you to waiters, waitresses, housekeepers, and hostesses. Always tip in cash at least 15%. Their job is demanding. You never know, that could be you. 2. Laughter is the best medicine. Laugh out loud. Laugh often. 3. Take lots of pictures and get them developed. You will never regret this. People love looking at photo albums. “A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever.” 4. Eat healthy food and exercise. That’s all you will ever need to know about staying fit. 5. Never text and drive. “It takes an average of 4.6 seconds to receive or send a text message. If you’re driving 55 miles per hour, you’ll cover 100 yards in that time span.” – David Mills on Pleasanton Patch

causes, I consulted Nell Mertz, a retired grade school teacher with decades of experience who worked to keep all students performing at their best. Nell explained how grade school teachers could recognize the particular needs of each student in a 22-student classroom and rescue them when they fell behind. While she felt that the academic progress of each student could be managed with 22 students in a classroom, the year she ended up with only 14 students resulted in remarkable progress for everyone in the class. That suggests something about class sizes. Nell noted that when students hit middle and high school, they become more independent, less responsive to guidance, play to peers, and do less homework, all of which make identification of remedial needs more difficult. But the real beginning of the need for remedial work begins before children appear for kindergarten or first grade. Students bring to school what they absorbed at home. If parents bad-mouth schools and teachers, kids will think less of the system. If parents ridicule the instructional material, kids are less likely to study. Generally speaking, parents with low expectations of their children are seldom disappointed. Without effective remedial attention beginning with families and continuing through the grades, middle and high school, the outlook for many in the future generation will be bleak and society will be saddled with a larger dependent population. And that is very expensive for everyone involved.

Pre-School for 2016-2017: At this point Sarah is anticipating fewer 4 year olds and more 3 year olds for the 20-16-2017 school year so she plans to have two sessions of Little Learners on Monday and Wednesday mornings and three sessions of pre-school on T-Th morning, M-W afternoon, and T-Th afternoon. This should accommodate everyone and provide more times for the Little Learner to attend.

Policy-Substitute Teacher pay. In order to stay competitive, it is recommended to increase sub pay from $90.00 to 120.00. Longterm will increase to $150.00 per day. We potentially will be getting another exchange student in the fall. Ryan and I did visit with the Scranton Administration and we asked if we could borrow theirs. The employee gifting program is being brought back for its first reading. It is in its original format. Learning Resources is utilized by Mrs. Kristy and the library. Most of it is in its original form with some updates at the recommendation of Mrs. Kristy. Recommendation is due pass on all. Ag. Ed.-The administration is looking for input from the board regarding the advertisement of the position. State Assessment-The test is going rather well. Thanks to the many people who have helped. Elementary Principal Report: School Lunch: Once again we received a memo from ND Food and Nutrition about pricing of our meals. We charged $2.70 for a student full price lunch so we need to increase our meal prices a minimum of $.10 again this year. So my recommendation will be to increase our lunch prices to: Student Breakfast $2.30 Lunch $2.80; Adult Breakfast $2.90 Lunch $3.50.

Credit has been secured for next year through UND for teachers. Scheduling: Significant changes to the master schedule have been made due mainly to unexpected changes in availability of dual credit ITV courses offered from universities. The school is still able to offer several plans of study for students seeking the ND State Scholarship and dual credit in a couple of key areas. Mr. Seamands and I have been looking into some alternative pathways to fulfill the requirements of the ND State Scholarship, a possible solution may be to have some students take university credit through online instruction and also looking at AP courses through NDCDE or the possibility of AP test for select courses. HS Principal Mid-Winter Conference: I attended the Mid-Winter conference is Bismarck March 23 & 24. A major concern was how state cuts in the university system is beginning to challenge high schools and possible solutions. Graduation: Sunday May 29 @ 2:00 – School Board Representative?

CTE: Mrs. Mayer and Mr. Seamands completed their trip to Butler and Bank of North Dakota.

Activities Director Report: Athletics: Baseball: Up and running. We have 20 total kids out. 6 from Hettinger. Nolan Dix is the new coach, and he is doing a great job with the boys. Track: Up and running. We have a lot of kids out this year. I think the number is right around 30. We should have several state qualifiers again. Golf: We have 6 kids out for golf. We found Logan Robinson to be our coach. Activities: Speech: We have State speech this weekend. We have 3 state qualifiers. The meet will be held in Mandan. Busing: No major issues to report at this time. The only issue we really have is the 14 passenger. It is getting pretty beat up on the route, plus it is being used for activities as well. Starting to get worn out. Building Update for Football Field: I talked to Chris Parnow. The building up at the playing fields is ready to be taken down. Chris said he would talk to Arndorfer to help him get rid of it. We would split whatever cost there is with the Park Board for this. We are waiting on Joe Wheelan to pour the concrete to put the new building on. Once he does that we will be able to move the new building onto the slab and get all the electrical hooked up. We would like this to be done by the end of May, weather permitting. Booster Club: Recent contributions by the Booster Club; $500.00 to volleyball for rooms in Casselton; $300.00 to football for a new water system for the practice field. This is a donation.

Carla has served as a “practice judge” for several events during the past two years as a PD member, has attended our PD breakfasts, and has helped with proofing chapter projects as well.

Congratulations to Mrs. Carla Resner – this year’s Honorary Member in North Dakota FBLA!

Students enjoying Sucker Day Student Council has been working hard to raise money for those in need. The students in high school and elementary have been given the opportunity to pay $1 to wear a hat for the day. We have been doing this at regular intervals and so far, we have raised $353 from student donations. We then had a community challenge and we received three donations. One for $75, one matched the student contributions of $353, and the other was for $500. To date, we have raised a total of $1281. We had one final hat day on Wednesday May, 11. Hat and Sucker day

Automotive Technology Class brought in 243.00 and our grand total for students is $596. The community challenge brought in the same amount so the total raised by Hettinger High School Student Council for the Hettinger Back Pack program this year was $1524. We welcome and would appreciate any further community contributions. This really means a lot to student council because these are our friends, classmates, and other students who receive the backpacks with food. Submitted by the Hettinger High School Student Council.
