Community celebrates longtime CEO By COLE BENZ

Record Editor

It’s farewell, but not goodbye. After 33 years of service, former West River Health Services CEO Jim Long retired. His last day was Thursday, June 2. New CEO Matthew Shahan has been in the position since April 1, but Long

stayed on to consult Shahan as he and the hospital made the transition over the following two months. A certified public accountant by trade, Long spent the first eight years of his career with West River as the facility’s CFO. On a whim, he said he really just volunteered his name for the CEO position when it was open 25 years

ago, thinking someone else would be selected. But lo and behold the board voted to hire him. And that’s where he has been for the past quarter century. Long’s retirement commenced at the hospital with a reception to honor his time with West River. Gifts,

Hettinger celebrates annual Street Fest By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Though the wind came up shortly after the noon hour, the breeze didn’t blow anyone away from the fun festivities around Hettinger. Street Fest kicked off the summer season for the community, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. Opening bright and early was the 20th Annual City Wide Rummage Sale. Residents opened their garages and set up tables in their lawns and drive ways, while others hunted for treasures big and small. Thirty-eight sales were listed on the chamber’s rummage sale registry, with some sales starting Friday evening. As the sales were winding down, the grill was just getting fired up.

federal grant from the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs. Bowman and Slope County Veteran’s Affairs Officer Patti Sadowsky first approached the county commissioners with an idea to purchase a van for transporting local veterans to appointments using the grant. The van was purchased but Sadowsky soon after discovered that SW Transit had access to the same grant and already had the infrastructure in place in the four-county region of Bowman, Adams, Hettinger and Slope counties. Rather than compete, Sadowsky said it was in the veterans’ best interest to cooperate considering SW Transit’s reach and the size of its fleet. “Veterans in rural areas weren’t getting much service,” Sadowsky told The Pioneer on Tuesday, namely because of Congress making the decision to control the VA.

people could chose between a burger or a brat, with all the fixings, and get a drink and a bag of potato chips. The Chamber will make a donation to the group for the efforts. The funds go towards the students’ annual trip to Washington, D.C. For the kiddos, it was hard to resist the enticing play of the fun inflatable games laid out on Main Street. The Funflatables featured a castle obstacle course, a velcro wall, a giant slide, and a hot air balloon house. Hettinger Area Chamber Executive Secretary and Treasurer Earleen Friez said that moving the games from down at the end of Main Street, but up by the Centennial Square Park helped to draw the crowd closer to the action. She said it gave adults a place to sit and converse while the children ran and played on the giant games. Just after 12 p.m., the laughter could be heard growing increasingly louder through the wind, presumably because the kids had just finished eating and were ready to burn off some energy hopping around the bounce games.

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Statewide Enforcement in June

A similar transportation service for veterans based out of Ekalaka, Mont., was disbanded. That program sought volunteers instead of using paid drivers like SW Transit, making it somewhat unreliable for scheduling purposes. Sadowsky and her Slope County counterpart, Ernie Holzner, approached SW Transit for them to take over the county’s plan, and they graciously accepted. It also meant additional safety for veterans considering SW Transit’s insurance coverage, which would have been spendy for the county. “Veterans were already paying to be taken (to appointments),” said Chanell

Driving while under the influence of alcohol needs to stop—that’s the message from North Dakota law enforcement and the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). Throughout the month of June, fifty law enforcement agencies across the state will participate in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign, by adding extra patrols to be on alert for impaired drivers to keep our roads safe. Consuming alcohol reduces your ability to distinguish objects, especially at night, even when under the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content (BAC). To publicize this increased enforcement and bring awareness to the severity of this driving behavior, NDDOT is introducing the “Blurred Lines” campaign. “Blurred vision is a visual theme in our campaign—but we want to emphasize that you need to hand over the keys long before it comes to that,” said Karin Mongeon, Safety Division Director at NDDOT. “The point at which you decide to have a sober driver shouldn’t be blurred either. It needs to be clear that if you plan to drink alcohol, designate a sober driver before you start drinking.” Along with the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP), participating law enforcement agencies in the southwest region include the Stark County Sheriff ’s Department, Adams County Sheriff ’s Department, the Dickinson Police Department and the Killdeer Police Department. “We’ll have additional enforcement on the roads to discourage motorists from driving after drinking,” said Captain David Wilkie of the Dickinson Police Department. “If you plan ahead, you can still enjoy a social evening—without blurring the lines between right and wrong. Designate a sober driver or call for a ride home if you plan to drink alcohol. Last year in North Dakota, 44 percent of all fatalities in motor vehicle crashes were alcohol-related. From 2005 to 2014, an average of about 62 people a year died in crashes in North Dakota where alcohol was involved. These are lives that could have been saved as driving under the influence is 100 percent preventable. Funding for high-intensity impaired driving enforcement is provided by the North Dakota Department of Transportation in order to prevent impaired driving crashes. Learn more about the efforts to reduce roadway deaths and serious injuries at ndcodefortheroad.org or join the conversation on the Code for the Road Facebook or Twitter page. Memorials to individuals killed by impaired drivers in North Dakota can be viewed at ndcodefortheroad.org/memorial.

Walby, director of SW Transit. “Now they can ride for free.” The van owned by the county was then sent to another North Dakota county that needed it and the two entities joined forces. SW Transit will handle all the scheduling and provide the door-to-door service to veterans as it already does for its daily service, so not much has to change. Chenyi Harriman, assistant director of SW Transit, said the company might possibly hire additional drivers, but that’s going to depend on demand. The service is first come, first serve, but Walby said they would do their best to accommodate veterans. SW Transit will be reimbursed for the fares through the grant. And those fares

will receive a round-trip ride at zero cost, they must be able to prove that they are a United States veteran by either providing their DD214 discharge papers, showing that they have a “V” (for veteran) on their license or presenting military identification. If none of those are available, Sadowsky said she might be able to help identify the local veterans. The grant provided for five years of funding. After that time ends, the grant would be eligible for a review to potentially be renewed. “This is truly a wonderful service to our community,” Sadowsky commented. Veterans needing a free ride for medical appointments should contact SW Transit at (800) 280-0204 for out-of town rides, or (701) 579-5115 for local rides.

are usually mounting considering that local veterans typically seek medical treatment at the Fort Meade Veterans Hospital in Sturgis, S.D., more than 100 miles from southwest North Dakota. The only other veteran’s facility is in Dickinson, but it has relatively limited services, according to Holzner. Walby encouraged veterans needing to catch a ride to call as soon as a medical appointment is scheduled to help guarantee SW Transit would be able to offer a ride. There is some amount of flexibility, however, since SW Transit has drivers stationed in each of the four counties. When a driver isn’t available in Bowman, for example, one from Hettinger might be able to cover the route. While, any and all veterans

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-

and well wishes were exchanged; and a few inside jokes were brought to the surface for the crowd to enjoy. Now that the moment had finally arrived, Long said he was feeling both excitement and apprehension. “You hope everything is going to be as you planned, but you never know,” Long said. “It’s been a great 33 years, and I’m just looking forward now to the next stage and I hope it’s as much fun as it should be.” Long also spent Wednesday, June 1 on KNDC’s TTO program, his final show after 17 years. KNDC and Station Manager Nolan Dix, in conjunction with Shahan and Western Horizon Care Center’s Mark Prischmann, presented Long with a commemorative plaque for his years spent on the radio. Though Long will no longer walk the halls of West River, he still plans on being a presence in the community. He is currently serving on the Hettinger Armory Committee, and maybe in the future he will involve himself in other projects around Hettinger. But for now, he’s pacing himself. “What I’ve kind of told

most people is that I’m trying to keep away from going from one job to the next,” Long said. “The first year I’m trying to actually just retire, and then follow up there after.” He may wait some time before finding a passion project within the community, he did say it is important to keep a connection with the community.

In a previous interview with the Record, Long said he had planned on spending much of his free time at his lake cabin in South Dakota, and when asked if he was headed there after the reception, he said “absolutely.” Editor’s Note: The Adams County Record would like to extend congratulations to Jim Long. Good luck in your next endeavor Jim!

Branding 2016 Grand River Roundup Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Record

Hello, I enjoy watching the news in the morning. Well, I take that back. Most things on the news I don’t enjoy. I don’t enjoy watching wonderful old cities reduced to rubble. I don’t enjoy riots at political rallies. I don’t enjoy Hilary’s shrill voice and Trumps one liners. I’ll start over. I don’t enjoy watching the morning news. But I do watch it. And sometimes something will really catch my eye. This morning it was a machine that watches your cattle. Now, I am not real tech savvy. I don’t have a deal on my water tanks that calls my phone and tells me that the water in the tank in the West pasture is getting low. I don’t have a camera in my heifer pen that sends live pictures to my phone or computer and lets me check the heifers, without waking Shirley and telling her, “It’s time for you to check”. I don’t have a camera on my pickup bumper so I can back up to the trailer and get hooked up without Shirley pointing the wrong way. Although I have been tempted. So, I will probably not get a machine that drives around the pasture and checks on my cattle. That’s what horses are for. Yesterday we were branding some calves. We had a great crew and it rolled

along pretty dang good. My Dad, who is 90 years old, had driven down to watch the branding. I was thinking how many changes he has seen in his lifetime of farming and ranching. From driving a team cultivating corn and working on a threshing crew, to tractors that steer themselves and combines that measure yield and moisture. From a two row corn planter to planters that plant 24 or more rows at once. From 12 foot grain drills to 60 foot air seeders. But one thing that hasn’t changed much is branding calves. The best way to do it is still get a few good ropers and a bunch of good wrestlers and just go to it! Dad was just amazed at the skill some of the young ladies wrestling calves displayed. I mean we were dragging some pretty husky calves to the fire and the experienced wrestlers can grab a calf by the tail, while the partner grabs the rope and flip those calves and jump on the head with seemingly ease. Trust me. It’s not as easy as it looks. But, back to that machine that checks your cows. Now, I don’t know much about it. But I doubt if it can hear a calf bellering that is stuck in a hole somewhere. And I doubt if it will notice a calf with a droopy ear that is feeling a little down in the dumps. Technology is a wonderful thing. But dang, it is pretty hard to beat a bunch of cowboys and cowgirls gathering a bunch of cattle horseback. Working a bunch of calves, eating a good meal, and enjoying a cold beer when the work is done. Wish you could have been there. Later, Dean

He credited the late Sike Magstadt for working to get him his Purple Heart years after he was wounded when he stepped on a land mine. Sam also thanked Pastor Milton Douglas for taking over for Sike in the American Legion after Sike passed away. Milton is also a Vietnam vet and he and his wife Karen are leaving us after 37 years of service to their church and our community. We’re going to miss you! Tuesday I drove to Bismarck to get that nasty cast cut off my hand. This time they put a rigid splint on that is a lot more comfortable and still keeps my damaged thumb secure. They scheduled the surgery to remove the pins from my thumb on June 24. While I was waiting for physical therapy to build the splint, former Harding County resident Kellee (Clanton) Hollenbeck stopped in to say hello. Kellee works at the Bone and Joint Center

Ed Lemmon. John asked if he could place a Great Western Cattle Trail marker on the site and the answer is yes! It’s a perfect spot to mark a historic cattle trail. Weevils have taken over the alfalfa fields around here. Some people are spraying for them and these guys started cutting all our alfalfa fields down on Thursday. It was really warm that day, 84 degrees, and since I have more use of my hand with the new splint I finally got the rest of my garden planted Thursday. Now if it would just rain. Friday was Grand Electric’s annual meeting in Bison. Reub and I went down that evening for supper and to hear Eliza Blue, Troy Hight and Justin Seim entertain the crowd after the meeting. They are a talented bunch of musicians! Sam Marty called early Saturday morning to let us know that Wynn Vanderberg had passed away Friday in Greeley, Colorado. Wynn is the son of Herman and Ruby Vandenberg and was raised on their ranch south of Prairie City. He has been suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) since 2008 and finally lost his battle. I haven’t heard about his funeral arrangements, but Wynn will be buried in the Prairie City Cemetery. This was a busy weekend.

I’ll try to get one to you if you haven’t seen it.) It was raining so hard when I left Bismarck that sometimes you could barely see the road on I-94 between Bismarck and Dickinson. Unfortunately, the rain quit about 20 miles south of Reeder and we just got a sprinkle here. We really need some moisture because it’s getting pretty dry around here. I dumped just over a third of an inch out of the rain gauge this week from three little sprinkles then that hot wind came up and blew most of the moisture away.

Dakotans on the lawn of the state capitol in Bismarck. Graham hopes that the moral climate in America will change with the transfusion of new Christian recruits. Franklin is naïve. His proposal sounds persuasive but there is a devil in the details. First is the assumption that there are few, if any, Christians now serving as mayors, council members, county commissioners, legislators, governors or members of Congress. With over 80 percent of North Dakotans claiming to be Christians, almost all of North Dakota’s mayors, council members, county commissioners and legislators consider themselves to be Christians. In fact, many of them got elected by proclaiming their membership in one Christian church or another. So even though we have professing Christians in control of the North Dakota policy system from top to bottom, our state has policies that do not reflect Christian ideology. Apparently, the Christians do not agree on the substance of Christian teaching and without agreement nothing much happens. Apparently, Graham is not thinking of run-of-the-mill Christians when he urges Christians to run for office.

2014 ADAMS COUNTY

He is thinking of Christians who are Christian Christians. He is correct in implying that all who identify themselves as Christians are not serious about practicing Christianity. Many of them don’t know enough Bible to know what they are and what they aren’t. The first step in Graham’s strategy would require a public declaration that one is running as the Christian candidate. “Vote for me. I am the real Christian.” This would get a little messy in North Dakota when the other candidate has a long record of faithful service as a member of another Christian denomination. To the general public, implying that the other candidate is less of a Christian will sound a little judgmental and a lot self-righteous. When Christians go into office wearing Jesus on their sleeves, the public expects them to demonstrate the virtues of Christ, such as honesty, integrity, gentleness, compassion, patience and all of those things we don’t see in politics. For some high profile Christian officeholders, it would be better if they kept their faith to themselves instead of defaming Christ by their mean-spirited, confrontational behavior.

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

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.

Frances Schaeffer once made this observation: “Because the word Christian as a symbol has been made to mean so little, it has come to mean everything and nothing.” So when we elect a professing Christian, we can’t be sure what brand of a Christian we have. Or what he/she will do. Christianity has become a generic religion. It’s cheaper than the real stuff. Graham’s goal is to reverse the immoral drift in the American culture. His goal is admirable. Seventy-two percent of the people agree that American moral values are getting worse. But his strategy is wrong. We have elected enough Christians in our history to know that office holding is not the solution. Chuck Colson, the new Christian who evolved out of the Watergate scandal, has pointed out that cultural change will occur only when people change because only transformed people will transform culture. He ought to know. So, if Franklin Graham wants to change the culture, he should abandon his 50-state tour of capitols and get back to doing what his father did – get Christians to be Christians one person at a time. That will “win the thing.”

Ali That’s Life By TONY BENDER

If the sun wasn’t as bright Friday, if the moon seemed morose, if the stars seemed muted, it’s because the the world is less than it once was. That which is irreplaceable is gone. An expanse of ou, soul, poetry, conscience, is- heart and humor have left ring us. me of I loved Muhammad Ali.

cruelly called him an Uncle Tom and a gorilla. He was neither. Frazier was gentle, soft-spoken, yet coiled inside. I liked him and felt guilty for cheering against him all those years ago, but knowing I would do so again. “We forgive Muhammad Ali his excesses,” Dave Kindred once wrote, “because we see in him the child in us, and if he is foolish or cruel, if he is arrogant, if he is outrageously in love with his reflection, we forgive him because we no more can condemn him than condemn a rainbow for dissolving into the dark. Rainbows are born of thunderstorms, and Muhammad Ali is both.” Ali’s Muslim religion forbade him to take up arms. “I ain’t got no quarrel with the Viet Cong,” he said. “No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.” When I fully understood the reason for Ali’s exile in the prime of his boxing career, I loved him more for his sense of justice, his moral center. By then, I was watching the draft lottery numbers fall every night on television, each one representing scores of young men destined for Vietnam and a war that made no sense. I thought about Ali and wondered what I would do if my number was called. But the draft ended, the war ended, before I was forced to make that decision. They called him a cow-

ard. Nonsense. He could have done his brief service boxing exhibitions, a morale booster for the troops. Instead, he stood on principles and it cost him dearly. But it also elevated him in a way only tribulations can and, from that platform, he spoke hard, unpopular truths. He’d represented his country at the Olympics in 1960, worn his gold medal for two days out of pride, only to return to the segregation and second-class citizenry of his times. Later, he would spur the American conscience with gentle, chiding humor. “We’ve been brainwashed. Everything good is supposed to be white. We look at Jesus, and we see a white, with blond hair and blue eyes. We look at all the angels; we see white, with blond hair and blue eyes. Now, I’m sure there’s a heaven in the sky and if colored folks die and go to heaven, where are the colored angels? They must be in the kitchen preparing the milk and honey! Even Tarzan, the king of the jungle in black Africa, he’s white... All the good cowboys ride the white horses and wear white hats. Angel food cake is the white cake, but the devils food cake is chocolate. When are we going to wake up as a people and end the lie that white is better than black?” Was he The Greatest? Yes. You should be slapped

for even asking. When he fought the punishing George Foreman in 1974, I listened to my transistor radio into the night for updates, praying he would survive. Win? I held out only a razor-thin slice of hope. Ali was too old, Foreman too strong. And yet... a miracle, created before our very eyes. When the fight ended in the outdoor stadium in Zaire, the skies opened up and it rained as if he had summoned the universe to

his cause. He was magical, mythical and, ultimately, mortal. Sometimes, in daydreams, I hatched plans to meet Ali to tell him what he meant to me, how much I admired him, to have him raise a fist to my chin and scowl for the camera. But Muhammad Ali did not need another testament to his greatness, one more worshipful fan. Irony. Hubris. Recklessness. Heroism, nobility and sacrifice—it’s all there in

Ali’s story. The ransom he paid to Foreman, Frazier and a tearful Larry Holmes, who never wanted to destroy his hero, was ultimately measured in lost years, the loss of his voice. This was the deal he struck. Like steel tempered in the forge, he could not have been The Greatest without the trials and setbacks. Ali needed mountains to climb. And in the end, Muhammad Ali became the mountain. © Tony Bender, 2016

SPORTS Badlands junior high track meet results By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record I’m late in getting this out but the Junior High ( JH) track season ended with the Badlands Track Meet on May 9 at Watford City. As with the Night Hawk high school team, the junior high girls are doing better than the boys. But, the boys are hindered by numbers as they only had five participating in the meet whereas the girls had 10. Separate team scores were kept for the eighth grade and seventh grade teams. Both grades of the Night Hawk girls finished in fifth place out of 12 teams. The top five teams in the eighth grade division were Mott-Regent with 88 points, Dickinson Trinity (76), New England (61), Watford City (58) and the Night Hawks had 54 to finish in fifth. In the girls seventh grade division Bowman County finished first with 86 points, Trinity (78), Watford City (67), New England (62) and the Night Hawks in fifth with 60 points. The Night Hawk boys finished in 12th place out of 13 teams in both divisions. Trinity finished first in the eighth grade meet with Hazen second and New England third. Bowman County took first place in the seventh grade meet with Trinity second and Beulah third. New England did very well in their first year as their own track team in this meet and show promise for their future high school team. Scoring for the eighth grade Night Hawk girls were Alyssa Andress, first in the 400, second in the 200 and fifth in the long jump. Carolyn Schultz finished second in the 400 and triple jump and fourth in the long jump. Madelyn Larson placed eighth in the discus and also competed in the shot put. I don’t have the names but their 4x400 team placed first. For the seventh grade girls Samantha Oase was first in the 400 and third in the 200. Katrina Poss was third in the 800 and eighth in the 200 hurdles. Beth Lein was first in the shot put and second in the discus. Also in the discus Rachel Holzkamm place fifth and Tatum Fitch seventh. Their 4x200 team finished first with Rayven Conner, Casitee Miller, Oase and Poss. Brady Dillon was the only 8th-grader for the Night Hawks and placed third in the shot put and eighth in the discus. For the 7th-graders, Tommy Buckmeier was fifth in the shot put and Josh Dix was seventh in the long jump. Others who participated were Quentin Schumacher and Caden Schauer. Head Coach Kelly Pierce added, “We are definitely short numbers at the junior high level, but the athletes all work hard and showed great improvements throughout the year. Brady set personal bests in the shot and discus several times throughout the year. On the girls side, our numbers were better. We had many athletes that placed at or near the top in their events. Alyssa Andress, Quinn Mellmer, and Carolyn Schultz led the 8the graders on the track and in the jumps. Madelyn Larson came out and in her first year and showed a lot of promise in the throws. The seventh graders were introduced to the sport and had a great year. Many great runners at this level and the throwers are very strong performers at this level.”

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Post 115 breaks into win column By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record Hettinger’s Post 115 Legion team, the Bears, won their first game of the year after losing their opening two games to Kidder Co. on June 3. They took on the Bismarck Capitals, which is mainly the Shiloh high school team, and split their double header on June 5. The first game was a dandy despite the high winds. Dawson Fagerland was on the mound for the Capitals who was the winning pitcher in a 7-2 win over the Night Hawk high school team back on April 14. He looked like he was in control again after facing only 10 batters in the first three innings which included striking out the side in the second inning. The Bears scored the first run of the game in the fourth when leadoff hitter Jacob Dix was hit by a pitch and later scored with the help of wild pitches and passed balls. But the Capitals came right back and scored twice in the bottom half of the fourth with the help of two key throwing errors by the Bears.

Legion B Standings Hazen 2-0 Kidder Co. 2-0 Makoti 1-0 Burlington 1-0 Surrey 1-0 Crosby 1-1 Bismarck 1-1 Hettinger 1-3 Garrison 0-2 Stanley 0-1 Renville City 0-1 After five innings the score was knotted at three apiece. In the top of the sixth, the Bears went down quickly as Fagerland struck out two and got the third out on a ground ball. The Capitals then went ahead in their half of the sixth inning when Chase Schiele singled home Hunter Aus with the go

ahead run. The Bears came alive in the final inning by scoring four times to take a 7-4 lead with the key hit being a two-run double by Brandon Pierce. Brett Christopherson, who had relieved Pierce in the second inning, then shut down the Capitals in the bottom of the seventh for the win. Christopherson took over the pitching in the second when Pierce felt pain in the throwing shoulder, and he moved to first base. Christopherson did well only giving up four runs in six innings with two of the runs unearned. Kyle Burwick went hitless but had two runs batted in with slow ground balls to third and while runners on third base scored. The Bears only had five hits as a team with Cole Osendorf having two of them and also scoring twice. In the second game Coach Nolan Dix used some of his younger pitchers and the Capitals capitalized on that with a game shortened 17-1 victory. Post 115 is composed of players from Hettinger, Scranton, Bowman and New England.

Quarterback time Weekly Viking Roundup By JORDAN WRIGHT For The Record

This week, we start to break down the Minnesota Vikings’ roster. We’ll be looking at each position group and attempting to break down the depth chart. This ten part series will lead us right into preseason! Quarterbacks The first position we’ll be evaluating is the most important one on the team. Strong quarterback play can elevate a team and put them into contention for the Lombardi trophy, while poor quarterback play can drag a team down and put them into contention for the first overall draft pick. Last season, Teddy Bridgewater led the Vikings to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth. Bridgewater started all 16 games of the regular season, completing 292 of 447 passes (65.3 percent, 10th in the league) for 3,231 yards (22nd), 14 touchdowns (26th) and nine interceptions (eighth in the league, minimum 300 pass attempts). His quarterback rating was 62.71, good for 13th in the league. Just taking a look at the stats, it would appear Bridgewater had a mediocre year. In today’s NFL, with millions of people playing fantasy football, a quarterback is considered a failure if he doesn’t thrown for 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. However, all the stats listed above leave out one important number: 11. That’s how many wins the Vikings had last season, and the only stat that truly matters. Shaun Hill was Teddy’s backup last season. Lucky for us, he only played 28 total snaps and only threw seven passes (completing two). Hill is 36 years old, but he provides a veteran presence on the practice field and has the ability to step in and play if Teddy were to miss any time. Taylor Heinicke is the third string quarterback, and is entering his second season with the team. A long shot to make the team last year, Heinicke was able to impress the coaching staff enough to keep him on the squad. Joel Stave, an undrafted

rookie quarterback from Wisconsin, will be Heinicke’s main competition for the third string quarterback position. Stave is the winningest quarterback to ever play at Wisconsin, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to the NFL. Playing in a pro-style offense and possessing an NFL body (6’5”, 236 pounds), Stave appears at first glance to be tailor made for the professional level. However, he has issues with pocket presence and accuracy, as evidenced by his sub-60% accuracy percentage in college. It’s rare for a college quarterback to significantly improve his accuracy in the pros, but here’s to hoping. Starter: Teddy Bridgewater There is no doubt Bridgewater will be under center to begin the 2016 NFL season (barring injury, knock on wood). Teddy will look to improve in his third season in the NFL, and a revamped offensive line will be the key to his development. Add in a shiny new receiver who was drafted in the first round (Laquon Treadwell), and Teddy will be ready to silence his

doubters. Backup: Shaun Hill I don’t foresee either Heinicke or Stave being able to surpass Shaun Hill on the depth chart. Hill may not have much upside, but the veteran leadership he brings to the Vikings can’t be measured. On the bubble: Taylor Heinicke and Joel Stave Heinicke has the inside track to be the Vikings third quarterback, and if he can show the coaching staff enough that they’d trust him in a live game situation, there is a slight chance he can over take Hill as the primary backup. Stave has potential and seems to be a perfect candidate for the practice squad. The only concern is another team will covet him and claim him off waivers. Next week we will be taking a look at the running back position. If you have anything specific you’d like to know about them, or if you have any comments or questions about the quarterbacks, reach out to me.

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

Dickinson won the 2016 Class A baseball championship with a 8-1 win over West Fargo Sheyenne. Thompson won the Class B crown by downing Beulah 3-2 in the championship game. After watching the Legion baseball team I believe they can have a successful season, and hopefully post a winning record. Pitching has always been a question mark with a lack of depth and inconsistency in throwing strikes. But with Brett Christopherson having some recent success to go along with Brandon Pierce, Damon Mellmer and Jarad Mattis, the depth is there. Plus coach Nolan Dix informed me that Braxton Yates may, mind you may, be able to come back later in the season. He was developing as a solid pitcher last year but hurt his knee in the football season. Their hitting and defense must also improve, but they are still relatively a young team. I talked to Coach Pitch and Little League coach Paul Jamison and he feels good about this years teams. Both teams have around 13-15 players and their games start on June 9. The season ending Coach Pitch tourney is scheduled for July

12 at Bowman and the Little League tourney is scheduled for July 20-21 in Hettinger. LOOKING BACK: The Scranton team won the Bowman Little League Tournament on July 28 and 29, 2010. Members of the team were Abraham Musonda, Callie Miller, Bo Wilson, Riley Jenson, Jaxon Mellmer, Seth Ehlers, Hudson Pierce, Thomas Maychrzak, Brandon Pierce, Damon Mellmer, Logan Mollman, Jordan Dilse and Seth Olson. The coaches were Larry Tibor and Deidre Mack. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows:

• June 9, Coach Pitch and Little League at Lemmon • June 9, Legion Baseball at Garrison • June 11, Legion Baseball at vs Makoti at Killdeer • June 12, Babe Ruth Baseball at Belfield • June 13, Babe Ruth Baseball vs Lemmon at Hettinger • June 14, Coach Pitch and Little League at Buffalo • June 15, Legion Baseball vs Surrey at Hettinger • June 15, Babe Ruth Baseball at Bowman • June 16, Coach Pitch and Little League vs Scranton at Hettinger See you at the games.
