Hettinger man found guilty on four counts By COLE BENZ
Record Editor
according to court records. On May 14, 2015, however, three of the initial felony charges—possession of cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms and possession of related paraphernalia— were dismissed without prejudice. After his charges were amended, Howe eventually was brought to trial on five charges including
A Hettinger man was found guilty on four of five charges in Southwest District Court during a fourday jury trial in Hettinger. Richard Scott Howe, 65, was originally charged with seven felonies and a misdemeanor. He plead not guilt in May of 2015,
possession of a controlled substance (morphine) a Class B felony, possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture (butane hash oil) a Class A felony, possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture (marijuana) a Class A felony, possession of drug paraphernalia (butane hash oil) a Class C felony, and
possession of drug paraphernalia (marijuana) a Class A misdemeanor. The charges were enhanced because of the presence of weapons at the scene, according to Adams County State’s Attorney Aaron Roseland. At the scene, law enforcement recovered three rifles, two shotguns, and one handgun, all of which were loaded.
According to NDCC 1903.1-23.1 (1d), presence of firearms is an aggravating factor in drug cases. Howe was found guilty on counts two, three, four, and five. He was found not guilty on count one. The trial began on Tuesday, June 7 at 9 a.m. and finished on Friday, June

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
New flag raised at Kennedy’s Fresh Foods to honor those who serve, and have served By COLE BENZ
Record Editor It was a fitting event for Flag Day. On Tuesday, June 14, Kennedy’s Fresh Foods raised a 6-foot by 10-foot American flag 40 feet in the air. Mike Kennedy, owner of Kennedy’s Fresh foods, is a flag enthusiast. And for his birthday his family thought it would a good idea to buy him a nice, new, large flag for the store. Kennedy told The Record that he always had a flag in front of every store he managed. The flag was purchased on the internet by Kyle Kennedy. Through the same company they were able to purchase the flag pole that will sit on the corner of Main Street and 2nd Avenue in Hettinger, at Kennedy’s Fresh Foods. The flag pole in total is 45 feet long, with five feet being submerged in concrete, with the remaining 40 feet hold-

store, so that a beam of light will hit the stars and stripes at night as the Kennedy family plan to fly the flag at all times. “We just want to honor and show our pride in America,” Kathy Kennedy said.
Students head to Nashville
Mike Kennedy said that with this flag they want to honor those in the armed forces, veterans, police force, first responders, fire fighters, and emergency medical technicians. They also support the group The Beauty of Hettinger, and thought that the flag would be a nice visual for the city. The timing of the inaugural flag-raising conveniently landed on Flag Day, something Mike and Kathy said was a happy coincidence. They had wanted to hold off until the 4th of July, but the two couldn’t wait that long to fly it. They chose local resident and Hettinger Mayor Richard Wyman, who is also a Vietnam veteran, to pull the rope and raise the flag for the first time. “Richard is a good guy…he’s a good choice,” Kathy Kennedy said. When asked what his initial

WRHS Foundation and RZ Motors team up for potentially HUGE fundraising campaign By TED UECKER
WRHS Foundation West River Health Services Foundation and RZ Motors Inc. is once again teaming up to inspire employees at both organizations to participate in our local area community’s economy. From May 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017, RZ Motors is committing over $200 to the Foundation at West River Health Services for each new or used vehicle purchased by any West River Health Services, Western Horizons Living Centers, and/or United Clinic Physician’s employees and their Board of Director members. Each employee and/or board member who purchases a new or used vehicle at RZ Motors, needs to contact WRHS Fund Development Officer Ted Uecker at 701-5673666 or at fdo@wrhs.com; then, once 12 employees have purchased a new or used vehicle, RZ Motors will present a check for $2,500 to the WRHS Foundation. Initially these funds will go toward the “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign to renovate 42 individual resident rooms at Western Horizons Care Center. Eventually, when that campaign’s goal is reached, the funds will be placed elsewhere within the WRHS Foundation (i.e. Partners In Health, Ambulance Fund, Scholarship Fund, Endowment Fund, a new campaign, etc.). RZ Motors is a locally owned Ford, Ram, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicle dealership in Hettinger, North Dakota. They carry a full line of new and used vehicles, with a full-service repair, parts and sales team ready to get you and your vehicle where you need to go. Unlike Dickinson, Bismarck, Rapid City, etc. RZ Motors offers true “Service Close to Home,” where, if your
vehicle is purchased from them, they will bend over backwards to provide service for you and your vehicle. If you need your oil changed, just call RZ Motors and they’ll come and get your vehicle, change your oil and return your vehicle for you. Or if your car won’t start, call RZ’s and they’ll do their best to get it started. If you have a flat tire and need some assistance, call RZ’s and they’ll try their best to help you out. You don’t get this kind of customer service everywhere! Especially not when it’s 25-200+ miles away! Another principal that RZ Motors believes very strongly in is “Commitment to Area Communities.” Year in and year out, RZ Motors is almost always first in line to sponsor most every local area event – whether it’s the local rodeos, the local cancer benefits, the local schools, the local hospitals, the local youth groups, the 4th of July’s, the local fire departments, the local Foundation, and more. In fact, during June, July and August, 2016, RZ Motors will be hosting a major food drive for the local Food Pantry. When is the last time you witnessed a car dealership in Dickinson or Bismarck or Rapid City sponsor anything in your rural community? RZ Motors is only asking for a fair shot. Why not give ‘em a chance to compete and earn your business? If you do and you decide to purchase a new or used RZ Motors vehicle, not only will you be helping your local economy and acquiring their unmatched “Service Close to Home” – but you’ll also be supporting a business that supports our local rural communities. One that is willing to provide over $200 back into your local healthcare leader’s Foundation for every new or used vehicle purchased by a West River, Western Horizons or United Clinics Physi-
cian’s employee and/or board member. Thereby, helping all of us enjoy improved “Healthcare Close To Home.” This Partnership between RZ Motors and WRHS Foundation is just one example of the changes being implemented at the Foundation and throughout WRHS and WHLC. We are trying to reach out to our area communities, businesses and families; forming “Partnerships for the Future.” In theBy CO past year, we have seen these partner-Reco ships provide amazing success stories for our local healthcare – including our new “MRI Scanner and MRI Building Addition”; the “Mott Area Matching Campaign”; the “Ambulance Appreciation Program”; the “Ride For the Rooms”; the “WRHS Auxiliary Turkey Luncheon”; the annual Foundation “Adult Prom”; the annual “Foundation Nation” Scramble Golf Tourney and Jaycee’s BINGO; the annual KNDC and KBJM “Farm & Home Shows”; the Foundation’s “Partners In Health Program”; the Foundation’s “Scholarship Program”; as well as being involved in local parades, Community Rummage Sales, and “Scrubs Camp.” We cannot say enough about how grateful we are at the WRHS Foundation for RZ Motors offering this amazing gift program to West River. Let’s all step up and give ‘em a shot; for their “Service Close to Home,” their “Commitment to Area Communities,” and their belief in strong rural “Healthcare Close to Home.” Onward! Remember: All you West River, Western Horizons, and United Clinic Physician’s employees and/or board members, please contact Ted Uecker at ext 6187 or 701-567-3666 when you purchase any new or used vehicle at RZ Motors! You’ll be amazed at what we can do together!

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
Three students head to international conference (L to R) Alec Andress, Lizzy Thompson, Carolyn Schultz, and Alyssa Andress pose at the Spring Leadership Conference. (Courtesy Photo)
By COLE BENZ
Record Editor Three Hettinger students are set to represent their school at the HOSA International Leadership Conference in Nashville, June 22-25. Similar to the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) group, HOSA Future Health Professionals is an organization that gives students a view into a multitude of healthcare career opportunities. Participating in the event this year is Alec Andress, Alyssa Andress, and Carolyn Schultz. Both Alec and Alyssa Andress will be participating in the conference for the second time, while this will be Schultz’s first time. Overall this is the fourth year Hettinger will have a presence at the top HOSA conference, sending representatives and not students the first two years. Lizzy Thompson, a graduated senior of Hettinger High School, also qualified for the national conference, but a scheduling conflict will be preventing her from attending. This will be the first year the conference is international. Nine thousand students, advisors and special guests from the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, and American Samoa have been invited to the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center to participate in the conference. Forty-two students from North Dakota will be attending the conference. There are three different levels of competition that includes middle school, secondary and post secondary.

10 when the verdict was read. The verdict was announced at 5:30 p.m., after about 2 1/2 hours of jury deliberation, according to Roseland.
Schutlz will be the only two middle school students from North Dakota to attend the conference. In order to be invited to the conference, a student must qualify at the state conference in the spring each year. “You have to place top three in your event at the spring leadership conference,” Alec Andress said. “So all of us left with first place medals and I believe the other two left with second place medals as well, so we all qualified for the international conference.” Alec Andress placed in Clinical Psychology, while Schultz and Alyssa Andress will be participating in Healthcare Display. The Healthcare Display event is a team event. Schultz also qualified in Extemporaneous Poster while Alyssa Andress also qualified in Medical Terminology, but per international conference rules a student may only compete in one event. “Last year it was a lot of fun, I really enjoy HOSA and all of the stuff it brings for me,” Alec said. “It’s a different environment as it is healthcare, and I really enjoy the healthcare aspect of it.” Not only do the students have fun and gain a large amount of experience, the event also teaches professionalism. All attendees are required to dress in professional attire for the duration of the conference. Alec Andress said that there is much more they can do during the conference outside of the competitions, including workshops and site-seeing events. “There’s just so much stuff to do, it’s hard to do all of it,” Alec Andress said.
The event commences on Saturday evening, June 25 with the awards ceremony. It isn’t known prior to the event who won what, but the top 10 in each category are recognized on stage prior to the announcements. Alec Andress told The Record that the experience he gets at these conferences can be taken with them back to the classroom. For his event, he job shadowed a psychologist and had to write a paper. Not only did he have to adhere to medical formatting standards, but he also had to coherently organize his thoughts, which is a skill he said he uses now when he writes any kind of academic paper. “It just help me, [with] my paper writing skills,” Andress said. When asked if it helps to have the presence of West River Health Services in the area, Chapter Advisor and North Dakota State Advisor Billie Mattis said “I think it does.” She told the Record that her students have been able to give presentations to managers at the facility, and that they have been impressed with her students’ work. Mattis said they had nine paying members this year, which was a slight increase from last year’s participation. She hopes to continue to grow the group each year. HOSA also offers scholarships to graduating students. Last year, Cassie Andress was awarded funds to support her education, she also placed seventh at last year’s national conference in Extemporaneous Writing. She currently attends Minnesota State University of Moorhead in Moorhead, Minn. for Speech Pathology.
Roseland told The Record that sentencing has not yet been scheduled, but that it would take place in about 90 days. Howe faces a maximum of 46 years imprisonment, a $25,000 fine, or both. Howe’s condition of release that were set while
his trial was pending were reinstated, so he has not been detained while awaiting sentencing.

OPINION Dog Training Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Record
Hello, I know I’ve written about dogs before. I’m sure you remember Vern Baker, the dog that tore all the drapes in our house down, tore the roof lining out of Will’s pickup, and pulled the tails off several cows. But we kept him because he was kind to our grandkids. And if you’ve been a reader for years, you probably can remember Lucky, who gathered wild horses by himself, and could whip a coyote in a fight. I have one named Tyke now, who isn’t a real good cow dog, but he thinks he is. Self-esteem is important. Forty years ago I had a red heeler named Tyke that was one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen. And he was good to my kids. There was Brooklyn, one of those wrinkly dogs, and Four, and Canardly, and Lucky, and numerous others. They were kind of like kids, even with faults, you can find something good about each of them. So the other day, one of my dear friends had a post on Facebook trying to locate a dog trainer. I thought about answering the post. But then Shirley reminded me of my dog training skills. She assured me that my good dogs were good in spite of me, not because of me. She reminded me of when I water boarded Vern, because he kept biting the front feet of cattle as they tried to load in the trailer. She reminded me of how

far I threw my sorting stick when Brooklyn chased a bull through the fence and wouldn’t stop. She reminded me of the blue heeler that thought his name was “Stop you S.O.B!” After further thought, I had to agree that once again Shirley was right. But I found out I am not the only one that lacks the judgment and patience to be a dog trainer. One of Will’s best friends is Ryan. He lives in a suburb of Minneapolis. And he has a dog. A big dog. As far as I am concerned there are only six breeds of dogs. Big, middle sized, and small. And big hairy dogs, mid sized hairy dogs. And small hairy dogs. Ryan’s is a big dog. And this big dog dug up all the flowers Ryan’s wife had lovingly planted. And then he dug up the garden that was lush and green with peppers, tomato plants, peas, and beans. And corn that was nearly ready to tassel. Ryan has two little girls. So Ryan took a page out of the Hat Tips training manual. He went berserk and grabbed the dog and drug him over to the flowerbed. There he proceeded to strike (I was going to say whip but that sounded too harsh) the dog with tulips and black-eyed Susan’s. He threw tomato plants at him and pushed his nose in the garden dirt! Then he looked up. His two little girls were crying and his wife was watching with that “Is this the man I married” look in her eyes. Ryan stepped back, calmly regained his senses, brushed the dirt from his hands, gave the dog a gentle pat on the head. And declared, “Good boy. Good boy.” I’ve learned that if you aren’t smarter than the dog, just buy a trained one. Later, Dean

Homeland Committee gets serious about politics Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL
“Our Homeland Security Committee was ordered to draft a mission statement by May 20 which we don’t have because I put this meeting off until after everybody had planted their carrots and stuff,” Chairperson Ork Dorken announced to the town’s 13 electors assembled for the first meeting since March. Before Ork could continue, Madeleine Morgan, the town’s first legislative candidate since 1906, burst into the cavernous community hall carrying 23 pounds of campaign literature in a 12-gallon purse. “Well, our candidate is home from the hustings,” Josh Dvorchak declared.
“Madeleine, how come I didn’t see your name anywhere in the primary election?” “First off, my kitchen cabinet said I needed to change my name to ‘Maddie’ because that would be more voter-friendly than ‘Madeleine’,” she explained. “So from now on I’m Maddie.” “Now about not being on the primary ballot,” she continued. “I’m running as an independent in the fall election because independent is what the voters want this year.” “How independent?” doubted Holger Danske. “So independent that I don’t have any party principles to choke my common sense,” Maddie shot back. “Are you a Democratleaning independent or a Republican-leaning independent,” asked Orville Jordan. “This isn’t horseshoe,” Maddie responded. “Either I’m a ringer or a loser. Leaners won’t count.” “Where do you unleaning independents stand on

taxes?” Einar Stamstead teased. “Render unto governors that which is the governor’s and unto the taxpayers that which is the taxpayer’s,” Maddie responded with a wry smile. “Don’t that beat all!” exclaimed an astonished Chief Alert Officer Garvey Erfald. “By the time voters figure that out, the election will be over.” “Sounds sort of religious,” Little Jimmy, the town scholar, noted. “You need to be religious to get elected.” “Well, I eat kosher pickles but that is about it,” she confessed. “Got to do better ’n that,” Holger warned. “Well, I used to go to the Chapel of Sanctified Brethren in Larsburg until I became a candidate,” the candidate explained. “But they were against war so I quit because the Legislature may need to appropriate money for the National Guard.” “How are you going to make state government live within its means?” asked Dorsey Crank. “When our town is ready to give up state aid for streets, or revenue sharing, or cigarette tax sharing?” Maddie countered. “We are

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

part of the problem.” “We have met the enemy and they is us,” muttered Dorsey to Holger. “It takes an independent to make the tough decisions because interest groups are bossing the Republicans and Democrats,” lectured Maddie. “We can’t have a common sense discussion anymore because officeholders can’t think for themselves. Common sense is not as common as we think. “ “Is there any reason we should vote for a woman when men are running?” Holger Danske asked on a dare by Orville “Men are terrible legislators,” snapped Maddie. “Men just feed their egos and play the peacock in politics. They would rather fight than switch. Women can work together to get things done while the men are strutting around.” “Whoa! Whoa!” exclaimed Old Sievert, half rising from his chair. “There! See!” Maddie exclaimed. ” Your male ego is already fired up and we haven’t even got to an issue yet.” Olga Garvey had enough. “Our mission should be raising some money for Maddie’s campaign,” she scolded as she took off her hat, threw in a ten dollar bill, and passed it to Gerda Torvald who was digging feverishly through her purse for a contribution. It was obvious that the chair had lost control of the meeting. “This has gone far enough,” Ork declared, banging his Coke bottle on the table. “This meeting is adjourned.” The wives applauded; the men groused. They beat the establishment and the town would go for Maddie.

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.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
No Words That’s Life By TONY BENDER
Guest Columnist
In the echo of the sirens comes the silence of hundreds holding their breath. Instinctively, we peer out at the fading red flashing lights. If they are not headed in the direction of the family farm, or the business where a loved one works, we exhale in relief. Still, in the back of our minds we know whatever is waiting at the other end of those emergency vehicles almost certainly will affect us in some way. It might be a friend. Could be one of your dad’s old classmates, or the checker at the grocery store. The funny kid who used to mow your lawn. Living in a small town like Wishek, North Dakota, you get to know just about everyone. Over the years, you share in the triumphs, the hilarious stories and the small miracles. You bump into other parents five nights a week when it’s time to pick up the kids at daycare. You spit sunflower seeds together at the ball game. You can’t help but feel connected. When heartache comes to the community, it
hits everyone like a punch to the gut. It was a sucker punch that sent everyone reeling Thursday with the news that Colbie Fandrich, 20; his aunt, Christine Fandrich, 38; and her son, Aaron, 10, died when the 1964 Piper Cherokee Colbie was piloting crashed into a shallow lake, just seconds after takeoff from the Wishek airport. Where are the words? What do you say to James and Jessica Fandrich that can make losing a son, a sister and a nephew easier? The right words have yet to be invented. You look your own son in the eye—he’s about Colbie’s age—as you grab your camera to do your job, to piece the story together, record it as a matter of tragic local history. He lowers his eyes as you talk about Colbie’s mom and dad. He knows James, his gruff voice offset by his good nature and a twinkle in his eye. A tough guy with a good heart. And Jessica, just about the nicest person you’ll ever meet, you tell him. You can see both of them in Colbie’s face, her gentleness, his flintiness, a joyful smile all his own. Your son doesn’t want to ride along. Who would? But, instinctively, you want him close at a time like this. People can be gone in an instant. That’s what you’re thinking. You’ve seen it, lived it. There are no words.
The cops on the scene don’t have the words, either, but they tell you what they can. They look, well, haunted. It takes a special kind of person to do emergency work, to rush from tragedy to tragedy like you’re connecting the dots from one bad dream to another. It’s excruciating when we’re all so interconnected. There’s a witness. He tells his story, but you know by the tone of his voice over the phone how much it bothers him. Three lives snuffed out

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

HETTINGER COUNTRY CLUB NEWS
By TED UECKER Hettinger CC
Golfers Heat Up At DUV Sanitation’s Annual Beer ‘N Brat Tourney DUV Sanitation, the local sanitation company in Hettinger, once again sponsored their annual “Beer ‘N Brat” Golf Tournament at the Hettinger Country Club on Saturday, June 11. It was 98 degrees (and that was in the shade!). Good thing (as it always seems so far this year) the wind was blowing at its usual 20-30 mph clip. This was by far the largest crowd for the “Beer ‘N Brat” that we’ve seen for quite a few years. Out of 48 total golfers, Hettinger had 24, Lemmon brought 14, Bison had 6, plus one each from Scranton, Bowman, Watford City and Minnesota. The format for the opening nine was a two-person team playing “better ball,” where each golfer plays their own ball through the hole, and the team score for each hole is the least of the two. Josh Anderson and Josh Sackman from Lemmon won the opening round at a steady one under par (they were three under with two holes to play!). Another Lemmon team comprised of Willard Barnes and Preston Zorc came in second at a respectable one over par. The teams of Jeff Boynton/John Pretzer and Greg/Jared Jacobsen tied for third at two over; and the teams of John Mattern/Bob Bowen, Bob Jackson/Colgan Huber, and Ted Uecker/Terry Lien tied for fifth at three over par. After an amazing skinless brat lunch with all the fixins’, including beans, macaroni salad, potato salad, scruncheroos and brownies – it was back out for the second nine. This go round the first place two-person team was paired up with the 24th place two-person team; to go out and play a four-person scramble. Then the second place team was paired up with the 23rd place team, etc. The scramble team who shot the best at five under par was the team of Lemmon-ites including Willard Barnes, Preston Zorc, Monty Starkey, and Buddy Bender. In 2nd place at four under par, was Josh Anderson, Josh Sackman, Jackie Muggerud, and Cindy Arndorfer. Third place honors went to Dan Jackson, Dale Kari, Garret/Mike Schmitz, also at four under. In 4th place was the team of Ted Uecker, Terry Lien, Mark Praus, and Jamie Schwartz at three under. Hole prizes were available to be won for each of the two nine-hole rounds. Mark Praus and Jeff Boynton were closest to the #7 pin; Mel Frank and Monty Starkey made the longest
putts on #1; Matt Schneider and Josh Sackman stroked it deep on #9; Logan Drolc, Jared Jacobsen and Garret Schmitz hit it tight on #5; and Dale Kari and Mark Praus (again!) were closest to #8. It was a terrific day for HCC. People were out trying to play golf, while enjoying the competition with their friends. Yes, it was a little windy. And a little hot. But the brats were tasty. And the beer was cold. We even made some new friends! Thank you to DUV Sanitation for sponsoring this terrificly formatted tournament; to Hettinger Country Club for hosting the event; to Smith Drug and Clothiers for bringing over a lot of really terrific prizes; and to all of the golfers. We enjoy you. Come see us again. Next up at the Hettinger Country Club is a Women’s Scramble June 21; Mixed Couples league June 22; Men’s Scramble June 23; Hettinger Invitational June 25-26; Big Bang Scramble July 2; Shirek Memorial Scramble July 3. Come see us. We’re a public course. It’s nice out here.
Schweitzer and Skogen Blitz The Competition at the 2nd Annual Dacotah Bank Open Garret Schweitzer and Seth Skogen, both employed by Dacotah Bank, teamed up to dominate the golf links at the 2nd Annual Dacotah Bank Open on Saturday, June 4. Dacotah Bank, a banking institution with roots in Aberdeen, SD, and branches in various area communities including Hettinger and Lemmon, sponsored this tournament for the second year in a row. Playing nine holes at the ever-improving Lemmon Country Club in the morning, followed by lunch and nine more holes at the Hettinger Country Club, the twenty-eight male and female golfers enjoyed the handicapped format, where each player plays their own ball through the hole. In addition, the Chicago Scoring System with handicaps was once again utilized, where eagles counted for 8 points, birdies scored 4, pars 2, bogeys 1, and everything double bogey and over 0. In the team competition at Lemmon for the opening nine holes, Schweitzer and Skogen finished first with a whopping 15 points! They say that Schweitzer chipped in three times! They were followed by John Mattern/ Wayne Kling and Josh/ Jeff Sackman, who tied for second with 6 points. Individually Schweitzer, not surprisingly, led the way with 10 points, followed by Josh Sackman with 6. As for
the hole prizes, Rob Warbis made the longest putt to a difficult #4 pin placement from 117 inches; Shelly Lyon made an outstanding teeshot on #8 to 77 inches; Josh Sackman hit his second shot on #5 to within 50” of the cup; and Ted Uecker got his second shot closest to the #9 cup at 99 inches. Once everyone bucked the wind to Hettinger (yes, every time we have a golf tournament so far this year the wind has to blow a minimum of 25 mph!) and enjoyed a terrific lunch from Kennedy’s Fresh Foods, the second nine was on at the Hettinger Country Club! Travis Ellison (another sandbagger from Dacotah Bank) and his running mate Scott Peterson scored the most points at HCC with 9. In second place, was the team of Colgan Huber and Patty Weber from Bison with 4 points. Individually, Ellison scored 10 and young Ty Warbis 4. As for the individual hole prizes in Hettinger, Colgan Huber was closest to the pin on #8; Ellison had the closest second shot on #5; Schweitzer was closest second Shot on #7; Craig Johnson had the longest drive on #6; and Shelly Lyon made an amazing putt on the 4 green! Overall, combining the total team points from Lemmon and Hettinger’s rounds, Garret Schweitzer and Seth Skogen took high honors with 16 (as you can see, they didn’t fair quite as shiny in Hettinger with 1 team point!). There was a three-way tie for second (really?) between the following teams: Sheri and Ted Uecker, Ellison/Peterson, and Sackman’s. Coming in fifth overall, was Mattern/Kling. Although our total number of golfers (28) was down considerably from the inaugural event a year ago when we had 44 (as June 4 was also Hettinger’s City Wide Rummage Sale & StreetFest, a huge Fishing Derby Tournament at Shadehill and a Denver Broncos Golf Tournament in Denver), we all enjoyed the $2,000 added purse from Dacotah Bank, the friendly competition on both the Lemmon and Hettinger golf courses, the lunch and the friendships further cemented. Next year, we will definitely pick a less windy Saturday that hopefully works for most everyone’s busy summer schedule’s. Special thanks to Dacotah Bank for sponsoring and supporting the tournament; to both the Lemmon and Hettinger Country Clubs for hosting the event; to the committee of Mike Lyon, Dale Bender, Brett Odenbach, and Rob Warbis for organizing, promoting, running and scoring the tournament; to all of the hole prize sponsors; and to Kennedy’s Fresh Foods for the lunch.

He also said that it was a great feeling to pull the rope for the first time. “Terrific,” Wyman said. From now on, it will wave in the wind and honor the United States of America, and all those who have lived, served and died for this country.

EF-3 tornado touches down in Baker, Mont. By SHERRY VOGEL
Fallon County Times For The Record It had already proven to be a busy weekend for Baker, Mont. — the city was host to the 2016 Montana High School Rodeo Finals and hundreds of people had flocked to the area for the excitement. But instead of cleaning up after a rodeo, the community had to sort through the havoc of a tornado that ripped across the area Saturday evening. Baker was hit by an EF-3 tornado around 6:30 p.m. June 11, injuring seven residents and demolishing at least two houses, damaging up to 50 more homes. The National Weather Service issued tornado alerts earlier Saturday that indicated severe thunderstorms containing large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornados would be possible over portions of the central and northern high plains. A short time before the tornado touched down, the Baker Little League was playing softball on the field at the south end of the Baker Lake. At the neighboring country club, 50 golfers were unwinding after a golf tournament. The local fairgrounds, which is also in close proximity to where the tornado touched down, was hosting the rodeo finals. Approximately 900 people from across the state were seated under an outdoor, covered grandstand enjoying the evening rodeo performances only a few minutes before the tornado struck. Tornado hits Baker neighborhood An ominous, dark cloud was first spotted hovering over a five-mile radius southeast of Baker. According to the National Weather Service, the inter-perimeters of the massive cloud churned at 140 to 150 mph as it labored to funnel out. While county disaster sirens wailed alert, many local residents stood by, snapping pictures with their cell phones or recording video footage. The funnel cloud quickly formed a tornado, which the National Weather Service would later label an EF-3 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale that measures the strength of tornadic activity. The destructive tail moved downward, ultimately destroying an entire east side neighborhood in Baker. Seven city residents were injured, two homes were flattened and many other structures sustained exces-

Thirty to 50 homes in total were affected, leaving at least 10 people displaced. Some found refuge in local motels in the storm’s aftermath while many stayed with family or friends. Help arrives at scene of devastation The Baker city blocks located between South Fifth Street east and South Tenth Street east, intersected by Texas Avenue, were hit hardest and sustained the most damage. Piles of rubble stood in place of two homes, while about 15 others were missing roofs, windows or outbuildings. Personal property, household items and chunks of glass were strewn across the landscape. Pieces of shredded insulation hanging from naked trusses danced eerily in the wind. Snarled curtains flapped wildly in unison as they struggled to break free from shattered windows. Many broken and leaning power poles left live wires coiled on the ground. Single tree trunks stood alone and barren, resembling matchsticks, as they had been striped of all branches and leaves. Multiple emergency response teams worked at the scene as they systematically moved between homes in search of survivors. Neighbors and response teams were frantically trying to take a head count to help discover any missing individuals. Paramedics, with the aid of volunteers, placed the wounded on gurneys to be evacuated to the Fallon
Medical Complex. Personnel of Montana-Dakota Utilities joined the Baker Fire Department to locate and turn off gas lines, while others disabled downed electrical wires. Law enforcement issued a call to all surrounding area first response teams for mutual assistance. Over 70 personnel arrived at the scene from the surrounding tri-state area, including from the communities of Plevna, Ekalaka, and Wibaux, Mont., Ludlow, S.D, Marmarth, Rhame, Bowman and Beach. The aftermath Soon after the first touch down, local sirens began to sound a second alarm, warning the public of two more impending tornados. Many took shelter in basements, bathrooms or public fallout shelters. The city was on high alert far into the night. While those additional tornadoes never reached the ground, it was still a harried night for many. The majority of the city remained without power until 2 a.m. the next day. The Fallon County Library basement was set up as an emergency operations center that filtered all incoming information. The response was impressive as the city, county, American Red Cross, public volunteers and neighbors jumped in to lend a helping hand. Many individuals came together to meet the needs of the moment. The Plevna Fire Department and the Custer County Sheriff ’s Department stayed on an additional two days to assist with continued security and to begin the massive cleanup. Bryce Martin, ND Group Editor, contributed to this report. Sherry Vogel is staff writer at The Fallon County Times, the Record’s sister publication in Baker, Mont.

MOM & DAD PROVIDED FOR YOU. NOW IT’S
YOUR TURN. When you were young, your Mom & Dad did a lot for you – they provided shelter, clothing, food, spending money, maybe an education. They taught you right from wrong and good from bad. They stood up for you when you needed standing up for – and they let you learn, when you had lots of learning to do. Now it’s your turn to pay it forward. None of us ever wants to place our parents, our aunts or uncles, our siblings, or our spouses, into specialized care. But sometimes we have no choice, depending on their needs and on our location. Therefore, we all want to place them in as nice a specialized care center as possible. Western Horizons Care Center in Hettinger has recently been designated a 5-Star Nursing Home by Nursing Home Compare, so the level of care is outstanding. Of course, being right next to a TOP 20 in the Nation Critical Access Hospital, a fully staffed Clinic and Emergency Room isn’t bad either. Nine years ago, our community said we need specialized care in Hettinger. We, at West River Health Services and the WRHS Foundation, agreed and
put $1.5 million into the purchase of Hillcrest Nursing Home from Lantis Corporation. Ever since, we have been busy staffing and making improvements including reflooring, repainting, and redecorating the main congregating areas, the activity room and the hallways; adding new nursing stations; putting in a new furnace; a new call system, etc. Now we are in the process of trying to raise $145,500 to renovate 42 individual resident rooms – for new flooring, paint, lighting, furniture, decorations, sinks, toilets! It’s appropriately called the “One Room At a Time Together” Campaign for Western Horizons Care Center. We, like you, believe it is important that our area elderly have a nice and comfortable place to live. We certainly would appreciate if you’d consider giving toward our awesome renovations at Western Horizons Care Center. Mom & Dad might need it, or maybe Uncle Chuck or Aunt Esther, your wife – or maybe you, yourself. To learn more about this worthwhile campaign please contact Ted at 701-567-3666. After all, it's your turn.
Consider Giving.

North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON
Coach Kelly Pierce provided me some info on recent basketball camps. He commented, “Our 3-6 grade camp was a success on May 31- June 2. We had 52 campers this year. The camp focused on fundamentals with an emphasis on shooting. The future of Night Hawks basketball looks great with all of the players excited about getting better and learning the game.” He also added about the Denver camp, “The Denver team camp was a great success for our high school girls. Eleven girls made the trip. The camp is a great team builder with many fun activities and plenty of basketball as well. The team went 5-2 on the trip and showed great hustle and effort. Going into next season rebounding and valuing the ball will be priorities and we will stress those skills
throughout the summer. Fun activities on the trip for the girls were a trip to Elitch Gardens, the annual walk around downtown Denver at the 16th Street Mall, and attending a Rockies game vs. the San Diego Padres. It was once again a great trip.” Bowman’s Wednesday night girls league starts on June 15. The Night Hawks have two teams entered and will play four games a night. There is also an Intensity Camp for girls entering grades seventh through ninth, June 27-30, 9:00 a.m. - Noon. Athletes can still sign up by contacting Coach Pierce. There is a University of Mary Team Camp on July 10. The Legion baseball team split a double header with Garrison on June 9, winning the first game 19-4 and losing the second by a 10-8 score. Their games with Makoti and Surrey were cancelled and will be rescheduled. The Babe Ruth team opened with two games at Belfield June 12 and won both of them. They were home against Lemmon the next day and were winning 12-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning when the rain and lightening started. The first game counted and they
called off the second game. The Coach Pitch and Little League teams started their season on June 9 at Lemmon. The Coach Pitch team won their game and the Little League team lost by one. Bismarck Century senior Dalton Feeney was selected in the 40th round of the MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers. Feeney is a righthanded pitcher and was the 1,195th overall pick of the draft. He has also signed to play baseball at the University of Missouri. The ND High School All-State baseball team was announced. Selected from our Region 8 teams were Alec Battest (Beulah), and Zac Martin (Shiloh), who were named to the first team. The second team had Beulah’s Josh Remmick, Hazen’s Chase Bruner and Shiloh’s Dawson Fagerland. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - June 21, Legion Baseball vs Surrey at Hettinger - June 21, Coach Pitch and Little League vs Baker at Hettinger - June 23, Coach Pitch and Little League vs Bowman at Hettinger -June 24, Babe Ruth Baseball vs Belfield at Hettinger See you at the games!
The Post 115 Legion team traveled to Garrison to face off against the Titans on Thursday, June 9, and came away with a split. The Bears—made up of players from Bowman, Scranton, Hettinger, and New England—hit the Titans hard in the first game. The Bears put up 10 runs in the first inning, ultimately capturing the 19-4 victory in a 10-run-rule game that ended in five innings. The Garrison pitcher made it through only the first few batters in the first inning as he injured his elbow, and was forced to leave the game. Brandon Pierce started and went four strong innings, giving up three earned runs. He tallied three strikeouts. Jacob Dix came in for the fifth inning in relief. After
giving up a first-pitch home run to the first batter he faced, Dix faced only four more batters and came out of the inning with only one earned run and one hit. Pierce went 3-for-4 with a triple, 6 RBI and three stolen bases. Hudson Pierce also went 3-for-4 with a double, 4 RBI and two stolen bases. Dix went 1-for-2 with three walks, three stolen bases and 2 RBI. Cole Osendorf recorded two stolen bases. Kyle Burwick went 2-for-2 with 2 RBI and two walks. And Daniel Baesler went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. The second game was more competitive, but the Bears fell in extra innings 10-8. Jarred Mattis started and gave up eight runs, only four of which were earned. He had four hits and gave up five walks. Mattis did his best to deceive the opposing hitters,
and ended his day after 5 2/3 innings with 11 strikeouts. Brett Christopherson came on in relief and pitched the final 2 1/3 innings and had two strikeouts and two earned runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, taking the loss. Mattis got a no decision on the evening. Hudson Pierce lead the way, going 2-for-5 with 3 RBI. Alex Bartholomew went 1-for-3 with one walk and a stolen base. Osendorf went 0-for-3 but had two walks, two runs, and two stolen bases. Ryan Sime went 0-for-3 and was hit by a pitch. The June 11 game against Makoti was postponed but has yet to be rescheduled. The Bears’ next game is June 21 when they open at home in Hettinger with a double header against Surrey. The first game starts at 3 p.m. with the second slated to start at 5 p.m.
2016 football season prognosis By SHELDON CHRISTENSON
For The Record I’m putting my prognostic hat on again for the upcoming Night Hawk football season. I know it is early but the opening game for the Night Hawks is only two months away. They will open the season playing against Wyndmere-Lidgerwood in one of four games being played at Shiloh on August 20. The other games have Hankinson taking on Mott-Regent, Kenmare-Bowbells versus Napoleon-Gackle-Streeter and the closing game has Shiloh against New SalemGlen Ullin. Wyndmere and Lidgerwood are located in Southeast region of the state and they are in Region 1. Their region record last year was 4-3 and with an overall record of 4-5. Here is how I did last year in my Region 5 picks: •My 2015 Pre-Season Picks Hettinger-Scranton New Salem-Glen Ullin Mott-Regent R-T-H Grant Co. Bowman Co. Beach •Final 2015 Finish Hettinger/Scranton
Mott-Regent Richardton-Taylor-Hebron New Salem-Glen Ullin Grant Co. Beach Bowman Co. Last season it was a dog fight for four teams as to where they would finish in the top four. Both the Night Hawks and Mott-Regent finished 1-2 in the standings with 5-1 records. The Night Hawks took first via the tie breaker rules. RichardtonTaylor-Hebron and New Salem-Glen Ullin finished 3-4 respectfully with both teams having 4-2 records. I feel those same four teams will again battle as to how they finish in the top four and thus make the play-offs. Grant Co., Beach and Bowman Co. will bring up the bottom three places. Here is my prognosis listed in the order on how I feel they will finish, with a little bias thrown in. 1.Hettinger-Scranton; Graduated six key seniors which included three who not only earned All-Region 5 honors but also All-State honors. They were Tanner Sanford, Brandon Pierce and Colbey Steeke. But they do return a strong team which includes 14 experienced
players plus an ever dangerous running back in Isaiah Kludt. Their junior varsity team finished undefeated last year. 2. Mott-Regent; Lost six seniors who earned either first team or second team All-Region 5 honors. But they return two quality players in Brady Wegh and Josh Wallace. I’m giving them the edge over New Salem-Glen Ullin for second place. 3.New Salem-Glen Ullin; They graduated only five players on a roster of 33. One key loss was running back Cullen Seeger but they return a very good quarterback in Evan Henke. They should have ten seniors on this year’s team. 4 . R i c h a r d t o n - Tay l o r Hebron; They too lost only five seniors on a roster of 29, but that included All-State running back Denver Colgrove. They do have an experienced junior class that could put them higher in the final standings. Quarterback Brendan Butterfield and running back Jayden Olson will be key players. 5. Bowman Co.; I’m giving the nod to Bowman in moving up to fifth place. They did graduate six seniors on a roster of 31. Key returning players are Brayden Jorgensen, Sterling Lee and Dylan Scott. They did have 16 freshmen on their 2015 roster and went 0-6 in region play last season. 6. Grant County; Losing eight seniors on a roster of 21 plus losing two key players in Peyton Gabrielson and Niv Revinius will make it a long season. They went 2-4 in region play last season. 7. Beach; Losing five seniors on a roster of 17 includ-

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
Scouting the Running back Weekly Viking Roundup By JORDAN WRIGHT For The Record
Last week, we took a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback situation. If you happened to miss the article, you can find it on Facebook through my web address that’s listed below. Running Back This week we take a look at the running back depth chart. For most of the past decade, the Vikings have had the luxury of the best running back in the NFL lining up in the back field. Is that still the case this year? Do the Vikings have a backup who is capable of taking some of the load off Adrian Peterson? Last season, Adrian ran for a league leading 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding 30 catches for 222 yards. For just the fourth time in his nine year career, Adrian was able to play in all 16 games of the regular season. Once again, the football world was reminded that Adrian is a rare athlete who can break a long run from anywhere on the field and at any point in the game. However, leading the NFL in rushing yards came at a price. Adrian totaled 350 carries in the regular season and playoffs. When you total up the amount of carries and passes thrown his way, Adrian has been involved in 2,831 plays throughout his career. All those hits add up, as the human body can only take so much. Jerick McKinnon is a player the Vikings are hoping is able to take some of
the carries away from Peterson. McKinnon was second on the team with 52 carries for 271 yards, as well as 21 receptions for 173 yards and three total touchdowns in 2015. Jerick was able to increase his yards per carry from 4.8 his rookie year to 5.2 last year. The Vikings are hoping he can make a similar leap in year three. Matt Asiata split the backup duties with McKinnon last season after starting 9 of the 15 games in 2014 that Peterson was unavailable. Asiata only carried the ball 29 times for 112 yards in 2015, but proved to be valuable as a check down for Bridgewater, catching 19 passes for 132 yards. Jhurell Pressley is an undrafted rookie out of New Mexico. Pressley is a smaller running back (5’10”, 206 pounds) who has speed but limited power. Last season for the Lobos, he ran for 1,083 yards on only 114 carries for an absurd 9.5 yards per carry. The only other running back listed on the Vikings website is C.J. Ham, an undrafted rookie from Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD. There isn’t a lot of information available on Ham besides his stats (1,097 yards and 16 touchdowns) and his measurable (6’1”, 238 pounds). Starter: Adrian Peterson Call me crazy, but I’m predicting it now: Adrian Peterson will be the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. Even at 31 years of age, Peterson
will resume his quest to be the best running back to ever have played the game. Even though he claims he can play until he is 40 years old, it’s clear there aren’t many years left of watching this future hall of famer. Enjoy it while you can. Backups: Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata Jerick is an excellent change-of-pace running back who can catch the ball out of the backfield or run it between the tackles. Hopefully McKinnon will be able to steal some carries from Adrian, keeping them both fresh for a (hopefully) long playoff run. While Jerick is the change-of-pace back, Asiata is the one who would start were something to happen to Adrian (as we saw in 2014), presumably because the coaches have an enormous amount of trust in him. Entering his fifth season, Asiata is what he is at this point. If you need three yards, he’ll get you three and a half. If you need four yards, he’ll get you three and a half. On the bubble: Jhurell
Pressley and C.J. Ham Unless an injury occurs, the depth chart is basically set. However, there is always a chance one of the undrafted rookies can step up and make the team. Pressley might be a good candidate for the practice squad. This team has an excellent defense and a young quarterback, but Adrian is still the face of the franchise. Even though he is 31, Peterson will be keeping defensive coordinators up at night in 2016. Meanwhile, McKinnon is a home run threat every time he touches the ball. The Vikings are loaded at running back, just like it has been every year since Adrian was drafted in 2007. Next week we will be taking a look at the wide receiver 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.

RZ Motors hosting local food drive
By COLE BENZ
Record Editor Buy local, give local, save local. That was the inspiration behind RZ Motors’ food drive that started this month. It will run all summer and finish on Aug. 31. Their goal is to raise 1,200 pounds of food, which will be distributed entirely locally through
the Adams County Food Bank. For your donation, you can save money on your vehicle services. For participating in the drive RZ Motors is offering a basic gas engine, 5 qt. oil change for the discounted rate of $29.95. The regular price for a rough oil change is $44.95. Don’t need an oil change? That’s ok, because partici-
pating customers can also receive a 10 percent discount on all other parts or service purchases. Each discount requires a donation of at least five cans of non-perishable goods. All donations can be brought to RZ Motors. The staff at RZs plan to start a pile of the donations in their show room, so patrons can come and watch the progress grow before their eyes. RZ Motors will also be doing their part to support the local food pantry. With every vehicle sold, the company will be giving a sizable donation towards the cause. The staff at RZ Motors would like the community to know that they are “proud of this opportunity to benefit our local food pantry and we look forward to making it a big success.” Anyone with questions can feel free to call RZ Motors at 701-567-2474. So when you’re sifting through your cupboards, or walking down the isle at the grocery store, think of RZ Motors. Buy local, give local, and save local.
