IN REVIEW
By BRYCE MARTIN ND Group Editor
It was Luke Kilzer’s dream to someday have a horse of his own. Not just any horse, but a black one. So when a Black Daddy pages 8-9 horse was led into Dakota Winds Arena last week, Kilzer’s face lit up with excitement. While the surprise went off without a hitch during the Lil’ Spurs Rodeo June 16 in Bowman, the horse turned out not to be such a great fit. “It was too spirited for a four-year-old,” Bysaid SHELDON CHRISTENSON of that, Harding County girls w Kelly Braun of Make-A-Wish, whotheir 6’4” center Mason 26 but the Ranchers fell just Nighthawks.

THEY’RE BACK UP
After one year hiatus, Hettinger city banners returned this season By COLE BENZ
Record Editor They’re back! Anyone driving down Adams Avenue can see something new hanging form the light poles, at least new from last year. Banners advertising events, and community locations have been hung again this year. Purchased in 2011, the banners weren’t up last year because the gentleman that usually gives his
w o N High: 94 Low: 58 A thunderstorm around
Each banner was designed differently, with the purpose of attracting commuters to each banner. The thought was that if each banners had all been designed alike, people would see one and not pay attention to the others, when in fact each banner advertises something different of Hettinger. So if you need to know where the school is, or when Street Fest takes place, just take a walk down Adams Avenue and look up as you walk by each street light.

time and equipment to hoist them up became ill and was unable to assist the city. However, Gary Jahner and Mike Jorde were able to assist this summer season and the banners have been raised again. The banners, which had an initial count of 23, were purchased from a company in Bloomington, Minn. The banners were guaranteed to last two years, so they have drastically surpassed the expected lifetime.

IN BRIEF
‘Click It or Ticket’ in May tallies 716 citations Extra traffic safety patrols for the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign resulted in 2,020 citizen contacts across North Dakota. Forty-eight law enforcement agencies, including the North Dakota Highway Patrol, participated in these additional hours for seat belt enforcement May 23 through June 5. A total of 1,995 citations were attributed to the added patrols. Of the total, 695 were citations for failure to use a proper safety restraint and 21 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 739. The traffic stops also resulted in 22 warrants served, 18 drug arrests, 11 citations for distracted driving, five felony violations and five driving under the influence (DUI) citations. The Click It or Ticket event paired education and enforcement to help save lives by showing the importance of buckling up. Failure to use a seat belt is the most significant factor associated with motor vehicle crash injuries and deaths. In 2015 in North Dakota, 93 percent of uninjured survivors of fatal crashes were wearing a seat belt. Funding for additional traffic safety enforcement is provided by federal grant money distributed through the NDDOT. Learn more about preventing roadway deaths in North Dakota when you join the conversation on the Code for the Road Facebook or Twitter. Traffic safety program information is available at www.ndcodefortheroad.org.

Shaving Cream Grand River Roundup That’s Life By TONY BENDER
Guest Columnist
Note: As usual, Tony is a week late for the holiday. Here’s a Father’s Day tribute he’s sharing again while on a brief vacation. I got the bowling shirts. They were gaudy things in unfortunate colors, but his name was embroidered on the pockets, so I took them, hangers and all, from the closet. And shaving cream. I got shaving cream. Different brands. Varied scents. But every one of them had a discount sticker. The man could not walk by a red tag, no matter if it was minced ham beginning to turn green, or discounted shaving cream. My father loved to save a buck. It was laughable I should get the shaving cream, because I so hate the process. I shave for weddings. I shave for funerals. But barring such catastrophes, I grow a beard and, when it gets ragged, a month or so later, I shave it off. Shaving cream lasts a long time around here. But slowly, over the nine years, I went through the cans, watching the changes in the mirror. Scrape. Scrape. Watch the creases deepen. Scrape. Scrape away the heartache. Scrape. Damn, I cut myself again. I had the bowling shirts made into Teddy Bears. One read “McKay Elevator.” The other said “Frederick Equity Exchange.” They both had “Norm” embroidered on the front. Scrape. Scrape away the years. Scrape. Watch my hairline recede. Scrape. Study the scars. I gave the Teddy Bears to my sisters for Christmas. Sherry opened the box, bit her lip and then walked out of the room, not looking at me. Not looking at anyone. She was soaking up the tears with a tissue, when I walked into the kitchen, the din and excitement of the children shredding wrapping paper behind us. She could not speak. She just sobbed as she flung her arms around me. I was not crying. I must not cry.

Enough time has passed. I cannot mourn anymore. But my eyes will not listen. The last can got so corroded, it left stains on the sink every time I used it, the rusty circles matching the orange design on the Colgate can. Regular scent. I wondered if I would empty it, before it rusted through. The can clung tenuously to life, wheezing out more foam each time I needed it. Scrape. I have to lean closer to the mirror now. My eyes are weak. Scrape. Mustn’t dawdle. Dylan needs to get to school and India must go to day care. Scrape. Sigh. Fleeting thoughts had come and gone as the can faded, but I dismissed them. Pretending it was just another old rusty can, coughing out the last of the shaving cream. Scrape. It’s just a can of shaving cream, for goodness sakes! Scrape. No big deal, really. Scrape. Move on, already, will you! Scrape. Half an hour before the meeting, I aimed the nozzle into my palm. It spat. It sputtered out a small dollop of foam and then it was done. I shaved slowly, carefully. Don’t want to bleed to death in a room full of strangers. Scrape. I hope my presentation goes well. Scrape. Probably should have rehearsed. Scrape. Aww, there’s something to be said for spontaneity, I guess. Scrape. When I was done, I swept my toothbrush into the shaving kit, along with the aftershave and toothpaste. Ten minutes to go. Better get dressed. As I was walking out, I grabbed the can and tossed it into the empty wastebasket. The rattle echoed loudly off the cold tile and it made me stop. It didn’t seem right the end should come like this. There should be something more. Some sort of ceremony. A little more respect. Something. I pulled the can back out and cradled it, almost reverently. in both hands. I felt the warmth from the invisible touch starting on my shoulder and enveloping me, causing me to smile. A wistful sort of smile. I studied the can for a moment longer and then set it softly back on the bathroom sink. I glanced into the bathroom, as I rushed out with my bags and hangers. I stopped at the door of Room 231 and turned, like I always do, to see if I had forgotten anything. To see if I had left anything behind. I am never quite sure. Then I closed the door firmly behind me. © Tony Bender, 2001

A YEAR IN REVIEW pages 8-9
Nighthawk basketball teams both down Harding County By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts. Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly fell behind 12-0. On top
of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25. With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-
26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points. They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied. The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot. Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the
Nighthawks. Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points. The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53. Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks. The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the

Becoming Dad Putting it on the record By Cole Benz Record Editor
I celebrated my first Father’s Day this year. But it wasn’t that long ago that I was just Cole. It was one year ago Wednesday, I went from being Cole, to being Dad. On June 29, 2016, my daughter will celebrate her first birthday. I wasn’t quite sure how to start this because quite frankly, this happened really quick. The past 12 months have gone by so fast, that it still feels like it was just this past Christmas we were telling our families about the good news; when in reality that happened during Christmas of 2014. I have watched my daughter go from wiggling around the carpet, to taking her first steps. I have watched our dog go from excited, to times of down-right depression due in part to the sudden drop in attention—sorry Cooper, we still love you!
When you’re about to become a parent, you’re always told that ‘your life will never be the same.’ Even though it reigns true, that is about as cliche’ as it gets. But people don’t tell you about the small details in life that get rearranged. For instance, the toilet paper can no longer be attached to the roll on the wall; it’s on the back of the toilet, out of my daughter’s reach. The cleaning supplies below the sink have been relocated. All of the doors in our home are
now shut at all times, and all of the outlets have little caps on them. And the poor dog’s food and water dishes now reside outside so he can eat in peace—again…sorry Cooper, we still love you! Watching my daughter discover the world has been enlightening. I know her little world pretty much consists of our house, daycare, and the houses of relatives. But things as simple as blowing bubbles can leave her mesmerized. It’s that innocence and shine in her eyes when

she sees something for the first time that I marvel at. It’s a tremendous treat to see her gaze over the simplest of things right now, before the youth inside her starts to dissipate, and the most spectacular things start to become mundane. My first born, Collins Carol Benz, has blessed me and my wife in so many ways already. But I hope that we have blessed her too, with a good set parents. And as much as she is learning about the world, we’re learning about parenthood. We’ve made good choices in life, and we both possess a responsible set of values. We have life lessons that have been passed down to us by our elders that we can pass on to her. If she has questions, we’ll answer them. If she missteps, we’ll help her get back on the right path. I’m not trying to make child rearing out to be an easy task—I’m not that naive—but all my wife and I can do is go day by day and pull from our own experiences. The last 366 days have been a great ride. And though it may not always be smooth, I’m giddy with anticipation to see where the path takes us. Happy birthday Collins.

You start off at 4 mph. After one round you back down to three and a half. You are getting thrown around the cab like a bb in a boxcar. The second round you hit a fresh mole hill and get a little dirt on the sickle. Dang it. I hate that. The sickle on the mowerconditioner plugs. I really hate that. So does Shirley.

Hoops, red tape bog down sex trafficking effort time out of the conditioner. Your hand starts to fall off. You begin to realize that the engineer that designed this machine evidently never had to unplug one. You begin to curse him and his relatives. You take off again. Glad to crawl in the cool cab and get a little reprieve from the sun beating down on you. You slow down to 2.8 mph. It’s a hell of along ways around the field and your water jug is empty. You look at your watch. It is nearly 10 a.m. If it goes good, you can go another eleven hours. You slow down to 2.2 because you are getting a side ache. Then a bunch of little pheasant runs ahead of you. You have to cut a wide swathe around them because they are babies. You have to let them grow up so someone can shoot them. Makes very little sense, but makes you feel good for a little bit. An especially big molehill slips up on you and you bang your head on the side of the cab. The blood attracts more flies. You look at your watch. It is ten fifteen. Tears begin to form in the corner of your eyes. At ten thirty you start to eye your lunch bucket. Down to 1.8 mph. The ache in your side is starting to build again. Maybe that beer in your lunch bucket will ease the pain. You reach down and open it. It is shaken up from the molehills and sprays all over the cab. You hit a molehill, drop the beer and it foams all over the floor. Flies like beer better than blood so they leave you alone. It’s nearly eleven. Beer is gone. Sandwiches are eaten. And you think that maybe you better quit. That hot wind blowing could start a fire if you hit a rock or lose a bearing. And besides, lunch is gone. I’m quitting. Out of beer. Later, Dean
Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL
Frustration is rampant among applicants for $1.25 million appropriated by the last legislative session for training programs to help victims of sex trafficking. The appropriation was passed with an emergency clause which means that the program could have begun as soon as the bill was signed by the governor. This was done in April of 2015, grants were approved, but the money was still tied up in the bureaucracy as of May, 2016. An overlooked hurdle in the process was the need for sponsorship of grants by city or county governing boards. In exasperation, grantees referred to the requirements as jumping through hoops and unnecessary hindrances. Complaints about government red tape and regulations have always been common at every level of government. The problem is accountability. What grant recipients regard as “jumping through hoops” is seen by policymakers as protection of public funds from being diverted to unintended expenditures. The implementing agency must answer to the legislature and the public for waste. The taxpayers complain just as loudly when diversions occur. Years ago, the federal government gave big bucks to state agencies and local governments for fighting crime. Then some county in Alabama used the money to build a golf course across the street from the police
department, arguing that this was helpful for law enforcement morale. This resulted in a regulation against state and local governments building recreational facilities with the money. Then a city in Pennsylvania used the money to fund a concert for police officers and their families. This resulted in a regulation that crime money could not be used for sponsoring entertainment. So it is the abuse of public funds that leads to more and more regulations. Unfortunately, government does not turn to the other solution—punishing the abusers instead of everyone participating in the program. Take the fallout from the big bank crash in 2009. Congress passed the DoddFrank Law to prevent a repeat of the abuses that led to the collapse. Jeff Olson, president and CEO of the Credit Union Association of the Dakotas, pointed out in a newspaper viewpoint that the new legislation resulted in more than 200 regulatory changes that would now punish small banks and credit unions for the sins of Wall Street. Yet, he noted, not one single credit union had cost the taxpayers a dime
in the multi-billion bailout. Instead of punishing only wrong doers, the entire financial community is saddled with paying for the recklessness of a few. Experience has taught policymakers that regulations are necessary because 5 or 10 percent of the participants in programs are bent on beating the system through loopholes and fraud. That is what is happening to Medicare. According to a recent AARP Bulletin article by Joe Eaton, one doctor was able to scam the Medicare program for $375 million by falsely claiming patients that didn’t exist. And this scam was only the tip of the $60 billion iceberg in Medicare losses every year.
Apparently, thousands of Medicare regulations aren’t equal to the human capacity to defraud. Unfortunately, we are dealing with human beings described by philosopher Thomas Hobbes as selfish and brutish, something of which the Founding Fathers were well aware. To paraphrase James Madison from Federalist Paper No.51, if men were angels, government regulations would not be necessary. So recipients of public money may think they are jumping through unnecessary hoops but the legislature and the public want to be sure that everyone remains angels, even when fighting sex trafficking.

OBITUARY DAVID FORDAHL Funeral services for David ‘Dave’ Allen Fordahl of rural Hettinger were held at 7:00 a.m. on June 18, 2016 at Richland Lutheran Church in rural Adams County, officiated by Charlotte Kvale. Serving as pallbearers were Greg and Wayne Seamands, Frank and Michael Laufer, Dick Rademaker and Dennis Omann. Visitation was from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, June 17 at the Centennial Chapel of Evanson Jensen Funeral Homes in Hettinger and one hour prior to the funeral on Saturday morning at Richland Lutheran Church. Dave passed away on June 14, 2016, at West River Regional Medical Center as a result of esophageal cancer, diagnosed in October of 2013. He confronted his cancer with the mettle of a farmer, he never quit working. David Allen Fordahl was born on May 26, 1952, the son of Norval and Henrietta (Huenink) Fordahl in Hettinger, ND. He was raised on the family farm northeast of Hettinger, graduating from Hettinger High School in 1970. He attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, obtaining a Mathematics degree. He immediately returned to the family farm because he said he couldn’t imagine working in an office. He worked on the farm almost every summer and break while in college, so in fact, he never left it. On May 30, 1971 he married his high school sweetheart, Carol Marie Jorgensen of Haynes. He had many part time jobs in Grand Forks including pizza delivery and assistant to a cabinet maker. But his life’s obsessions were farming and his cattle. He committed his days to the standards his father and grandfather set before him and he never waivered. Unlike his father who took a month off at a time, he almost never took a vacation. He rarely saw a window of time when the farm didn’t need him. He

For The Record Hettinger-Scranton’s Babe Ruth team suffered their first loss of the season after opening with three wins. What I would have considered an upset, Bowman dominated the first game by a 15-1 score. They scored eight times in the first inning and batted around in both the first and second innings innings. Hettinger/Scranton pitching gave up nine walks and Bowman batters added eight hits. Jacob Svihovec was the winning pitcher giving up six hits, striking out two and issued no walks. Mason Defoe was the starting pitcher for Hettinger/Scranton and Jaran Anderson relieved him in the second inning. Due to the run-rule, the game only went four innings. The second game was a complete turnaround, with

(Photo by Cole Benz/The Record) Bowman pitching having a problem throwing strikes, and Hettinger/Scranton winning 12-1 in a game that only went three innings. Both teams played many substitutes with Bowman having almost a whole new lineup. Warrick Dilse was throwing nothing but strikes for Hettinger/Scranton and recorded eight strike outs out of the nine outs. In Coach/Pitch action the Hettinger team continues undefeated as they downed Scranton. But Scranton came back to edge Hettinger 7-5 in the Little League game. Scranton scored first and
was leading 4-2 after three innings. Hettinger battled back and scored three times in the fourth to take a 5-4 lead with Connor Andress having a key hit. In the top of fifth and last inning Scranton scored three runs to take the lead and held Hettinger scoreless in the bottom of the inning. Maddox Pierce was the winning pitcher and recorded 11 strikeouts along the way. Tanner Defoe started for Hettinger and was relieved by Andress in the fourth. Malachi Dilse was the big stick for Scranton as he had two hits and three runs batted in.
The Legion Post 115 dropped their first two home games of these season during a doubleheader with Surrey on Tuesday, June 21. Damon Mellmer was on the mound for the Bears and he went the distance. Battling the heat, Mellmer pitched a complete game. He took the loss but only allowed three runs. Cole Osendorf and Hudson Pierce each had two hits. Pierce had a double and drove in one run. Brandon Pierce went 1-for-3 with a double and scored a run. Brandon Pierce started the second game and went five innings, allowing three runs. He was relieved by Jarad Mattis for the final two innings. In the bottom of the seventh inning with one on and the Bears in front by a run, Mattis allowed a home run, clinching the walk-off victory for Surrey.

Mason Dafoe had two walks and Mattis knocked in a run. Head coach Nolan Dix said his team played well and they got great outings from their pitchers. But the arms they faced were probably the best on Surrey’s squad.
“I thought we played well, had good pitching all night,” Dix said. “We went against their two best pitchers probably.” The Bears play at home again on June 28 against Baker at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. On July 1, they travel to Burlington for two games.

Night Hawk wrestling coach Randy Burwick had another successful wrestling camp and it also marked a milestone for it. It was the 25th year for the South West wrestling camp. Randy told me they had 105 kids at camp this year. Campers came from all over as they were not only from Hettinger and Scranton but Monticello, Iowa, Baker, Mont., Beach, Bowman, Kenmare, Stanley, Killdeer, Bison, Lemmon, Dickinson, Bismarck, Eagle Butte, S.D., Grenora, Hillsboro and Valley City. If you are wondering where Grenora is, look at a

The clinicians at the camp were Adam Aho University of Mary, Sean Elkins DSU, Christian Hughes Jamestown, Jacob Weisbro University of Mary along with help from coach Burwick’s former wrestlers Scott Owens, Rob Owens, Luke McDonald, Nick Timm, Pat Schlosser and Mike Honeyman. Coach Burwick stated that, “The kids worked hard and got exposed to some top notch techniques along with some great live matches. It was an awesome two days here at Hettinger High School. I want to thank Donna Thomason and Pam Harper for helping us with lunch both days. Great job! We look forward to next year.” Boy’s basketball coach Jeremy Dietchman informed me that the Night Hawks

boys lost to Mott-Regent by two, lost by two to New Town and lost by three to Plenty wood Mont. at the DSU basketball camp. In tournament play they did beat Shiloh by 18 and lost to New Town by three. Team Montana’s defense was too much for Team North Dakota in a 36-7 victory in the 23rd Annual Badlands Bowl at the Biesiot Activities Center. Montana now holds a 17-6 record in the annual game. The North Dakota High School Activities Association’s Board of Directors met June 13-14. One item that the NDHSAA Board of Directors voted on was a Class B District Chair recommendation requesting the NDHSAA to pursue a three-class system for basketball only with implementation for the 2017-2018 school year. The recommendation was voted down 8-0 by the NDHSAA Board of Directors on Monday afternoon. I had heard that school activity directors had voted overwhelmingly for approval of three classes. When I emailed Kevin Morast at NDHSAA about it, he
responded, “Not aware of any AD vote. Districts chairs cited to explore a 3 class’s system. Explore is key word. Voted down due to impossible 2017 timeline and no volleyball. Logistics of implementation in 2017 made the deadline not possible.” So I followed up with, “Good, I take that as the door is still open for three classes, maybe 2018.” His response back, “Possible but unlikely.” Unbelievable! Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - June 24, Babe Ruth Baseball vs Belfield at Hettinger - June 27-29, Junior High Girls Basketball camp at Scranton - June 27, Babe Ruth Baseball vs Bowman at Hettinger - June 27, Boys Basketball Camp at Harding Co. - June 28, Legion Baseball vs Baker at Hettinger - June 28, Coach Pitch and Little League vs Lemmon at Hettinger - June 29, Girls Basketball League in Bowman - June 30, Coach Pitch and Little League vs Killdeer & Buffalo at Hettinger See you at the games!

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
Protecting your tailback behind a full back, it’s clear this team is becoming Teddy Bridgewater’s, who prefers to spread out the offense and throw from the shotgun. The only way Renaud passes Line on the depth chart is if he proves to be a better blocker while also bringing value as a ball carrier and pass catcher. Tight ends Kyle Rudolph was able to play all 16 games of the regular season for only the second time of his career and caught 49 passes for a career high 495 yards (which was second on the team behind Stefon Diggs). PFF gave Rudolph a player grade of 71.9, good for 23rd in the league. An above average pass catcher, Rudolph will need to improve his blocking to be considered one of the better tight ends in the league. MyCole Pruitt was drafted last year and proved to be an excellent back up for Rudolph. A player who is known more for his pass catching ability, Pruitt was actually graded as a better blocker than Rudolph in 2015 according to PFF. Rhett Ellison proved to be very valuable for the Vikings in 2015. A “Swiss Army knife” on the field, Ellison was able to play both tight end and full back. Out of all the fullbacks and tight ends on the Vikings’ roster, Ellison was the highest rated Farmer’s blocker according toUnion PFF. David Morgan was drafted just a few months ago but
Weekly Viking Roundup By JORDAN WRIGHT For The Record
Last week, we took a look at the Minnesota Vikings’ running back situation. If you happened to miss the article, you can find it on Facebook through the web address that’s listed below. Fullback The Minnesota Vikings have predominantly been a power running team, often lining up with a fullback or extra tight ends on the field to produce better blocking. Will the Vikings continue to be a power running team or will they shift to a spread out approach this season? Zach Line was the starting fullback last season and finished with a player grade of 57.2 according to Pro Football Focus, good for 15th in the league. An average at best blocker, Line was able to demonstrate his value in other ways. He only ran the ball six times for 10 yards, but found the end zone twice. Line also caught six passes for an impressive 95 yards and a touchdown through the air. Blake Renaud will be competing with Line for the fullback position. A linebacker well,in high school and college, ght,”Renaud was signed as an ainstundrafted rookie in 2015 to prob-play fullback. He also spent some time on the Vikings’ omepractice squad last season. Bak- Starter: Zach Line . On Full back is one of the least ling-important positions for the Vikings in 2016. Even though Adrian Peterson has publicly stated he prefers running

Nighthawk basketball teams both down Harding County By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer Harding County came to Scranton on Dec. 18 and 19 to take on the Nighthawk boys and girls’ basketball teams, and left going 0-2 for their efforts. Hettinger-Scranton’s boy’s basketball team faced the Ranchers first and pulled out a 64-62 win. The Nighthawk’s full court pressure initially gave the Ranchers trouble as they quickly fell behind 12-0. On top
of that, their 6’4” center Mason Teigen left the game late in the first quarter with three fouls and would not return until the 2nd half. The Nighthawks built a 13-point lead at the end of the first half which was highlighted by a buzzer-beating long range 3-point shot by Haden Sadowsky, which made the score 38-25. With the return of Teigen in the second half, better shooting and rebounding, they outscored Hettinger/Scranton 37-
26 but the Ranchers fell just short by two points. They had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute to go but, Sam Kludt blocked a close in shot by Teigen which more than likely saved the game from being tied. The Ranchers got the ball back with 10 seconds left but could not get off a good shot. Kludt was having a problem finding his shooting touch but his blocked shot was definitely one of the key moments for the
Nighthawks. Sadowsky scored 34 for HS which included five 3-pointers and Brandon Pierce added 21. I had Clayton Koch leading Harding Co. with 23 points. The Nighthawk JV team also remains undefeated as they downing Harding Co. 63-53. Harding Co. came into the game with a 2-0 record and receiving votes in the top five in South Dakota Class B ranks. The following night the Nighthawk girls downed the

Harding County girls who came in with a 1-3 record. The Hettinger/Scranton girls also jumped out to an early lead as they were head 16-1 after the first stop, and 25-15 at half. They held on in the second half although being outscored 2421 to pull off their second win of the season to go along with five losses. Casey Joppa tallied 19 and Kinsey Jahner added 11 for the Nighthawks. Both had two 3-pointers.

Entire local family licensed ham radio operators “Hams do this by using a layer of Earth’s atmosphere as a sort of mirror for radio waves. In today’s electronic do-it-yourself (DIY) environment, ham radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about electronics, physics, meteorology, and numerous other scien-
tific disciplines, and is a huge asset to any community during disasters if the standard communication infrastructure goes down.” Anyone may become a licensed Amateur Radio operator. There are over 725,000 licensed hams in the United States, as young as 5 and as

Special Submission For The Record
Five members of the Howard family of Hettinger recently received their amateur radio licenses. The four boys (Isaac, Levi, Luke, and Elijah Howard), along with their mother, Kerri Howard, each earned the Technician Class Ham License at testing sessions in Bismarck and Dickinson. The testing is conducted by volunteer licensed hams. The boys have been studying ham radio with their grandfather, Dennis Howard, throughout the school year. He has been a ham for 49 years, being first licensed in 1967. The test consists of questions on electronics, rules and regulations, and amateur practice. In addition, Dennis also taught them how to solder, and spent some time learning the International Morse Code. “Code is no longer required on any ham exams any longer,” he added, though it still is a part of the amateur landscape. Kerri Howard has been assisting with the boys’ studying for the exam, and she discovered that she was doing well on some practice tests, and decided, with a little encouragement, to take the exam herself. She passed with flying colors. Kerri’s husband Wade, is
also a licensed ham, as is the boys’ grandmother, Ruth Howard. So now the whole Howard family, grandpa, grandma, mom, dad, and the four boys, now hold FCC-issued amateur radio licenses. Dennis said he will be opening some ham classes in the fall for the general public, and welcomes contact to assess when to start and if a public place will be needed. Otherwise the classes will be held at his home, to maximize the show-and-tell atmosphere of an amateur station and equipment. Members of the Howard Hettinger Hams, as they are calling themselves this year, will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise, June 2526 at 1002 6th Street North, on the hill. Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during field day to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. It is a hike up the hill to the yellow hut where they will be operating, but it can be driven, if you are so inclined. For over 100 years, amateur radio—sometimes called ham radio—has allowed people from all walks of life to experiment with
electronics and communications techniques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disaster, all without needing a cell phone or the Internet. Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network. Over 35,000 people from thousands of locations participated in Field Day in 2015. “It’s easy for anyone to pick up a computer or smartphone, connect to the Internet and communicate, with no knowledge of how the devices function or connect to each other,” said Sean Kutzko, of the American Radio Relay League, the national association for Amateur Radio. “But if there’s an interruption of service or you’re out of range of a cell tower, you have no way to communicate. Ham radio functions completely independent of the Internet or cell phone infrastructure, can interface with tablets or smartphones, and can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. That’s the beauty of Amateur Radio during a communications outage.” “Hams can literally throw a wire in a tree for an antenna, connect it to a battery-powered transmitter and communicate halfway around the world,” Kutzko added.
old as 100. And with clubs such as Howard Hettinger Hams, it’s easy for anybody to get involved right here in Hettinger. For more information about Field Day, contact Dennis Howard at 701-4001574 or visit www.arrl.org/ what-is-ham-radio.
