By COLE BENZ
Record Editor The Hettinger Armory has seen some improvements over the past several months, which has included a new conference
room and renovations to the entrance and adjacent hallway. But the biggest change the building has seen to date is thanks in part to Jess Coreau and her budding business, Studio Rhythm. After parents had expressed
interest in sending their kids to dance classes, Coreau decided to open her business four years ago. She began in the Friedt Photography building and would host classes at that location for the first year and a half. But the owners wanted to put the building on the market, and Coreau knew she wasn’t going to purchase it. So she ventured out and found a new location, the Armory. She was a little hesitant about the armory at first, but after having to explore other locations and attending a few of the special city council meetings, Coreau sees what they are trying to do with the building. “Now I see what their vision overall is for the Armory,” Coreau said. “I went to a couple of the Armory development meetings and I saw more of

AGRICULTURE Research center hosts annual field tour By COLE BENZ
Record Editor Soybean talk was one of the highlights during the Hettinger Research Extension Center’s 2016 Field Tour on Tuesday, July 12. Local Research Agronomist John Rickertsen said that he gave a brief overview of his soybean planting study; he is currently in the second year of the project. Rickertsen research is hoping to show the optimal time to plant soybeans in this region. With the early or late freezes the region has seen in recent years, Rickertsen isn’t sure the crop will become a staple in western North Dakota, but did say that it is possible for producers to yield decent soybean results from year to year. “You can, some years, have some fairly decent soybeans out here,” Rickertsen said. Over 40 people attended the event, the group included mostly farmers and
