Local museum hosts Memorial Day service
It Takes A Village... By BONNIE SMITH
Dakota Buttes Museum For The Record Those of us who live in small town America know it “takes a village” to keep the village alive and well. At this year’s Memorial Day at the Museum II, that message came through again, loud and clear. From tiny children in arms to greatgrandparents helped in by family members, from first grade singers to assisting teens, from the Legion Honor Guard to Legion Auxiliary members, and everyone in between, the events and activities of May 30, 2016, were the result of the work and planning of many, many people in the village, and of the support and attendance of many, many others. With an even larger crowd this year, the day- long set of events remembered the fallen who gave their lives in service to our country over many years, and looked forward to the future with some of Hettinger’s own serving in the military now and in the years to come. Gary Jahner, sound technician, observed: “It’s good to see people coming as

And a nice facility to have the service in.” The Johnson-Melary Post #115 traditional Memorial Day service began with some first graders singing “It’s a Grand Old
Flag” during the Advancement of the Colors. Led by MC Randy Raasch, the audience then recited the Pledge of Allegiance followed by the National Anthem sung by Amanda Reimer. Legion Chaplain Richard Wyman led the group in prayer before the Borderline Singers presented the “Armed Forces Musical Salute.” Members of the US Armed Forces were recognized as their branch hymn was sung. Special recognition was given to veterans of the Viet Nam war and the Korean Conflict, thanking them for their service and welcoming them home. The Hendricks family, one of whom was Shelly Froelich who placed the wreath of remembrance, was recognized for their seven-year mission of placing the cemetery flags and for their Legion Auxiliary work. Holly Wyman sang “God Bless America” prior to the introduction of the main speaker, Jessica Raasch, US Army National Guard journalist and the first female member of the military to speak at Memorial Day services here. Daughter of Randy and Vivian Raasch, Jessica spoke with “gratitude to the people who taught her in school, nurtured her in her faith and who continued to support her

Networks Awards Luncheon held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 19, 2016. The award was accepted by the network’s president, Mr. Tim Cox. The Outstanding Network Award recognizes any network or entire network organization that has improved access to health services in its service area and coordination of resources for network members through innovate, comprehensive approaches. Northland Healthcare Alliance is old on the scale of healthcare networks in existence, but it is still vibrant. The network business is ever changing and this network has been able to adapt and flourish. Northland Healthcare Alliance began in 1996 by a group of healthcare administrators that felt that there was strength in numbers. The organization’s roots started with a task force foundation using small groups of varied specialists who created programs and shared ideas that made more sense working together. Current membership includes: Benedictine Health System, Benedictine Living Center of Garrison, Catholic Health Initiatives, CHI St. Alexius Medical Center, Community Memorial Hospital, Jacobson Memorial Hospital Care Center, Linton Hospital, McKenzie County Healthcare Services, Mobridge Regional Hospitals & Clinics, PBVM – CHI, Prince of Peace Care Center, Sakakawea Medical Center, Southwest Healthcare Services, St. Benedict’s Health Center, St. Joseph’s Hospital & Health Center, West River Regional Medical Center and Wishek Community Hospital. Since its foundation, Northland had evolved into seven different corpora-
