Burwick places fifth in the nation By COLE BENZ

Record Editor

In his first opportunity in the national spotlight, Hettinger’s Kyle Burwick wrestled his way to the podium at the ASICS USAW Cadet Junior National Tournament in Fargo. Burwick placed fifth over-

all nationally in the 113 weight class. “It’s the largest wrestling tournament in the country,” Kyle’s father, and high school coach Randy Burwick said. Held each year in Fargo, the national tournament featured nearly 5,300 wrestlers from 48 states

competing in over 16,000 matches during the weeklong event. “You take the whole Fargodome,” Burwick said. “And put mats on the whole Fargodome.” Beginning on July 17, the tournament opens up

What the groomers can do for your pet

By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Does Fido need a haircut? With the hiring of two new groomers, West River Veterinarian Clinic can help with your pet’s beauty needs. Paige Slater and Myranda Kugel have both been trained in animal grooming and though they are early in their careers, they have the background to keep your dog or cat looking fresh and clean. Slater has been grooming for more than a year and Kugel is coming up on her 1-year anniversary of her education and training. Services offered by the groomers include haircuts, baths, nail clipping, anal gland expression and (if desired) toe nail painting. The facility went a long period of time without a groomer, and some area residents may not know the service is back. “I don’t think a lot of people realize we have groomers back,” Kugel said. Kugel said they have serviced animals from as far as Minot. Other area custom-

DBM to have special events during the fair

The proposed street improvement project of the city’s Papka’s 1st Addition may be over before it even begins. The city council voted to move forward with the project, but North Dakota Century Code says that property owners have the right to formally protest if there is a special assessment required to pay for the work. Formal protests for this project need to be in writing and delivered to the auditor’s office by July 31. From the response Hettinger City Auditor Pat Carroll has already received, it’s looking like the project won’t happen. In order to halt a special assessment project, the protests need to account for 50 percent of the square footage of the area being assessed. The city council will add up the square footage of area being assessed, and then they will take the square footage of the protests, and if it’s over half, the project won’t happen. The multimillion dollar proposed project would install the curb and gutter, asphalt streets and fix the drainage issues in the area. Since water isn’t properly draining, the short term affect is standing water after rain or snowmelt, but the long term damage is street deterioration. The road is eroding because it isn’t draining properly. The strong protest comes from the amount of money property owners would be assessed to pay for the project. The city had a company map out three different bonds: a 10 year, 15 year and 20 year bond. Under the
