The Voyagers International group was formed in Colorado over 40 years ago to bring the musical talents abroad. According to their website, 32 states participate in musical tours and they have sent over 160,000 abroad since their inception. The North Dakota/Montana group has been operating since 2001 when they sent just over 100 students, this past tour included over 300. Joyce said she has been nominating students since 2005, and has sent over 15 students since she has started sending her musicians. She said it is a high honor to be included on the tour. “We nominate students that have good character, and are responsible but also are really good musicians,” Joyce said. “To get in is a really high honor, because that means your music teacher knows that you’re musically capable but also knows you’re a fine citizen.” Directors can nominate musicians in any one of band, choir, or jazz band.

Record Editor Typically a museum is all looks and no touching. But Dakota Buttes Museum in Hettinger is breaking that norm in an attempt to attract more of the community. As the museum season comes to a close in a few short weeks, Smith and the museum community kicked off the end of the year by inviting kids and students to partake in some hands-on demonstrations, based on the museum’s latest theme, ‘Women Homesteaders of the Northern Great Plains.’ The theme has been active at the museum since Aug. 5 and will run through Sept. 14. “Because of that theme, we create activities and events around that theme, so that the community and the young people, and people of all ages and a wider [range] community can come in and experience those things first hand.” museum committee member Bonnie Smith said. Smith said the theme was based on the display that was given to them by the State Historical Society. That theme was based

Elaine Lindgren, which tells the stories of women homesteaders in North Dakota in the early 20th century. The museum previously held a book discussion on the subject and will also be hosting a bus tour on Sunday, Sept. 4. On Friday, Aug. 26, the museum set up 10 different stations, based on life in the early

days of homesteading, and gave the students a real-life look at how simple things were done during tough times. The stations and their presenters included: Fermenting Vegetables (hosted by Abbey, Lily, and Jorgia Richards), Churning Butter (Violet Olson and Francis Nelson), Quilting (Val Braun and Anita Kirschman), Spinning, Weaving, and Singing (Eliza Loughlin and Lisa Harvester), Making Rope (Willard Ottman), Making Soap ( Jill Kerzman), Washing Clothes (Amy Sandqvist, Lily and Jorgia Richards), Cutting and Laying Sod (Robert Carr), Attending Country School (Ceil Anne Clement), Playing Games (Rachel, Moriah, and Gethsemane Miller and Jess Coreau). Students were guided from station to station by a group of volunteers of guides and hosts that included: Pat Buckmier, Sandi Nelson, Sandy Marion, Pat Mattson, Barb Luger, Carole Rosencrans, Richard Wyman, Rita Becker, Connie Were, Arlindo Seamands, Phyllis Emerson, Marge

IN BRIEF

Readers invited to pose questions for governor candidates Readers of North Dakota newspapers are invited to submit questions that could be posed to the three candidates for governor when they square off in a campaign debate Oct. 3 in Bismarck. The debate featuring Democrat Marvin Nelson of Rolla, Republican Doug Burgum of Fargo, and Libertarian Marty Riske of Fargo will be hosted by The North Dakota Newspaper Association. The candidates will be questioned by a panel of newspaper journalists from around the state, but the questions will come, in large part, from newspaper readers. Readers can submit question ideas by email to this newspaper at AdamsCountyRecord@countrymedia.net. Please include your name and city of residence. Question suggestions can be submitted to your local newspaper through Sept. 14. The debate’s panelists will decide which questions are eventually presented to the candidates, though in general, long, leading or partisan questions are not likely to be selected. The debate, which will be open to the public, will be held at the historic Belle Mehus Auditorium in downtown Bismarck.

Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing welcomes Hoeven U.S. Sen. John Hoeven on Thursday toured Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing Co.’s facilities in Killdeer, one of four western North Dakota communities where the company makes electronic equipment for the defense and aerospace industries. “We are pleased and flattered that Sen. Hoeven would take time during his busy schedule to visit KMM,” said Don Hedger, the company’s president. “The attention and support of people like Sen. Hoeven are important to keeping North Dakota’s business community strong.” KMM employs about 350 people in its facilities in Killdeer, Dickinson,

Hettinger and Regent. It makes electronic gear to its customers’ specifications, including circuit boards, wire harnesses and sensors for military and civilian aircraft. Hedger said he and Hoeven discussed the Senate’s role in advocating a $9 billion sale of fighter planes to Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. President Barack Obama’s approval is needed to complete the deal, which has attracted bipartisan Senate support. The proposed sale includes F-16s, which are built by Lockheed Martin Corp., and F-15 and F/A-18 fighters manufactured by Boeing. KMM supplies parts for the F-15 fighter.

The deal has been awaiting approval for more than two years. Its supporters say the three countries could buy fighters elsewhere if the delay continues. Don Hedger and his wife, Patricia, founded KMM in Killdeer, in leased space that was once used as a hardware store. KMM will celebrate its 30th anniversary next year. It is a third-generation family business. “KMM is a real North Dakota success story,” Hoeven said. “From humble beginnings, Don and Patricia have built a world-class, high-tech company on the prairie that serves our nation and makes our state proud.”

Special showings of “Jared Mason: LIVE!” and “The Medora Gospel Brunch” scheduled for Labor Day

Sweet corn harvest yields record amount of produce Live music also slated for Monday afternoon to help kick off finale week of the Medora Musical The recent harvest of a three-acre sweet corn plot at Lincoln-Oakes Nurseries netted approximately 37,162 pounds of produce designated for the Hunger Free ND Garden Project. The produce was donated to the Great Plains Food Bank for distribution across the state; as well as direct donations to organizations located in and around Bismarck/ Mandan. “This year’s total doubles the amount picked and donated last year,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “I’m thankful to our partners, sponsors and numerous volunteers who came out in force to make this contribution to the Hunger Free ND Garden Project.” With a yearly goal of 250,000 pounds of fresh produce wanted for the program, gardeners across the state are invited to donate extra fruits and vegetables from their harvest this year to help meet the needs of hungry North Dakotans. Goehring said information about the Hunger Free ND Garden Project, including drop-off points for garden-grown produce is available on the North Dakota Department of Agriculture website, www.nd.gov/ndda. The Hunger Free ND Garden Program was started in 2010 through the local foods initiative of the North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) in partnership with the Great Plains Food Bank. The statewide program encourages home gardeners and commercial growers to plant extra produce each year for donation to charitable organizations across the state. Since its inception, the program has recorded over 1.4 million pounds of fresh produce donations. Volunteer groups helping with the harvest include: NDSU Master Gardener Program, Mandan FFA, Dakota Center for Independent Living, NDSU Extension Service, St. Anthony 4-H, North Dakota FFA, Community Options, Century High School, North Dakota Tourism, Boy Scout Troop 123, the University of Mary, the LDS Church and Missionaries, United Tribes Technical College and USDA Rural Development. Additional sponsors helping make the harvest event possible were: Spiffy Biffs, Cloverdale, Morton County 4-H, Royse’s Twin City Produce, United Printing, USDA-ARSPA Northern Great Plains Research Lab, Sara Lee/Bimbo Bakeries, Bismarck Parks & Rec, Farm Credit Services of Mandan and Northern Plains Potato Growers Association.

Yohe, Larry Jackson, Howard Nelson, Betty Svihovec, Norm Smith, Myrna Mertz, Vada Doerr, and Bonnie Smith. The presenters gave the students a real experience by not only educating and displaying the daily activities of early homesteaders, but they also were dressed in early 20th century clothing. To keep the students engaged, when applicable, the presenters allowed students to participate in the demonstration. For example, one of the more popular stations, according to Smith, was the butter churning station. Stu-

dents were allowed to actually churn the butter, and get a feel for the energy it took early homesteaders to make a product that’s readily available in today’s supermarkets. Though the theme was based on a book based on North Dakota homesteading, Smith said that since the communities are so close, it was decided to include homesteaders of both the Dakotas and incorporate those homesteaders and their stories to the display at the museum. The museum’s season is coming to an end in the next few weeks, but some of the homesteading artifacts will be on display for a few years as they have been put in a rotation.

(L to R) Betty Svihovec, Ardelle Forthun, Sandi Nelson, Mayor Richard Wyman, and Pat Mattson were among the 35 hosts, guides and workers for the day long, hands-on demonstrations of homestead activities and events at Dakota Buttes Museum, Friday, Aug. 26, 2016. Over 425 students, faculty, homeschoolers, and the public attended. (Photo by Bonnie Smith) There is a late-spring rehearsal before heading to Fargo for the multi-day practice camp in early July, which according to Joyce, is an intense period of music practicing. The students stay on campus at NDSU and for days their focus is music, music, and more music. The tour begins July 9, so the students will be at the practice camp right up until

they board a plane for Europe. The tour finishes on July 24. The cost of attending this event is high, so the students will be fundraising throughout the year, so if you’d like to assist the students, be on the lookout for their events. If you miss the fundraising opportunities, but would still like to help, individuals can contact Gina Joyce directly.

choir, according to Joyce. There is no tryout, with the exception of section placements when it comes to band. A music director simply has to nominate the musicians, each director has unlimited nominations. Along with the musicians, chaperones, and adult trav-

elers like parents and grandparents join the students on the tour. “So there’s a huge staff, most of us have done it [before],” Joyce said. Joyce herself has been on the tour three times. Directing the students is Dr. Warren Olfert. Olfert is out of North Dakota State University in Fargo, and the students travel to campus for their practices with him.

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.

Grand River Roundup NEWS By BETTY OLSON

We didn’t get a drop of rain this week so I had to water what’s left of my garden. There are a few things bum lambs don’t eat – they didn’t touch the tomato and pepper plants or the cucumber vines. The marigolds and rose mallows are the only flowers they wouldn’t eat, but they devoured my strawberry bed and all the rest of the flowers. At least I know what not to plant next year. Lynn Tjeerdsma and Ty Littau from Sen. Thune’s office met with locals at Over The Edge in Camp Crook Monday evening. Lynn is the senior policy advisor for Sen. Thune and Ty is on Thune’s ag staff. Ty is Dawn Littau’s son and she teaches RTI math at Harding County School. Dawn was a Halligan and is a cousin of Linda

Gilbert and Laurie Olson, who were also Halligans. Here’s their family history – their great grandfather Bill Rousch was one of the cowboys who came up from Texas with the cattle herds back in the late 1880s and started ranching here. There are a lot of folks in this area who can trace their heritage back to the trail herds that came up from Texas. Casey went to Bowman Tuesday to pick up a tractor Dakota Farm fixed for us and then he and Missy went to Buffalo to get their house ready for the school year that started on Wednesday. I went to New Leipzig Tuesday to pick up an axle and cylinder for the old manure spreader that Stelter Repair fixed for us. Getting parts for the manure spreader reminded me of when I was in the House and Ryan Maher was in the Senate. One year we rode through the parade in Isabel in Ryan’s buggy and after the parade someone said that he had an old horse-drawn manure spreader we should use because it would be the perfect traveling vehicle for a couple of politicians. We

had to agree. Rep. Sam Marty and I went to Lemmon Wednesday to have lunch with US Rep. Kristi Noem at the Grand River Museum. Kristi and I were both elected to the SD House in 2006 and we became good friends in the four years she spent in Pierre before running for the US Congress. After telling us what was happening in Washington and taking questions from the audience, Kristi and her staff flew to another meeting in Eagle Butte. It’s a good thing they were flying because they also had a meeting in Mobridge that morning. Thursday was a busy day. The funeral for Dorothy (Milner) Bowers was at the Lions Civic Center in Buffalo that morning and there was a substitute teachers meeting at the school house that afternoon. Later that afternoon I drove to Spearfish for the retirement party for Peggy Ables at the Matthews Opera House. Peggy was the Executive Director of the High Plains Western Heritage Center for a long time and was the secretary

of the South Dakota chapter of the Great Western Cattle Trail Association where she did a lot of work to get the organization sent up. Peggy and I attended the national GWCTA meeting at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora several years ago and after that meeting, we decided to start a chapter in South Dakota. Thank you Peggy, for all you’ve done for the GWCTA. Happy trails to you! Holly Costello teaches in Buffalo and coaches the cross country team in Harding County. The team had a track meet in Rapid City Thursday so I got to fill in for her classes at the school. The Harding County football team played Faith that evening in Buffalo, so I had plenty of time for coffee with Bill and Verona Vroman before the game. The football game went pretty well for Harding County when they beat Faith 46 to nothing. John Paul gave the Gideon message at Slim Buttes Lutheran Sunday morning. Pastor Henry and Linda Mohagen went to North Dakota for a niece’s wedding.

There were several rodeos this weekend. Taz and some other local cowboys were up in Rapid City on Friday and I think their next stop was Hastings, Nebraska. Ryne Baier and Casey went to the rodeo in Wibaux, Montana Saturday and Sterling Lee and Trig joined them at the rodeo in Amidon, North Dakota on Sunday. I saw something Saturday morning that I never, ever thought I’d see. When our son Casey, who absolutely HATES zucchini, drove into the ranch with the back of his pickup piled with zucchini, it created a real conundrum for me. Are you familiar with that word? The definition of the word conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing. An anonymous “friend” covered their lawn in town with scores of the hated vegetable and Casey was hauling them to our dump! These three, short CONUNDRUMS tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment: 1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics,

but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again. And here’s another one worth considering... 2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What’s interesting is the first group worked for their money, but the second didn’t. Think about it.....and last but not least, 3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens. Am I missing something here? Ponder this: “Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.” Betty Olson is a South Dakota rancher and state legislator for District 28.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

State of emergency That’s Life By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

o by tics. UNDERGROUND BUNA KER, MCINTOSH COUNf TY, ND—Greetings from McIntosh County, where we y are are fearfully clinging to e our guns and religion. With a Native American y protest a mere 158 miles away, we are on Major Super out High Alert, as declared by Governor George Armod strong Dalrymple. If we were still on the ng Homeland Security color d for code system, it would be ond Trump Orange. Or maybe, Baboon Butt Red. The point ast is, this is a major crisis. Thousands of Native Americans and Leonardo , no DiCaprio have amassed on y the shore of the Missouri River to protest a pipeline being built by Texas oil bare ons to transport oil pumped or by other other Texas oil barons. You would think this ng would be an upgrade, beople cause instead of exploding ple oil trains, we could have exploding pipelines. Progress! But no, here come the nattering nabobs of negativism. e Some of these pessimists complain this pipeline will eventually leak. First, they complained about exploding oil trains and now they are complaining about leaks— like the one in South Dakota in April, or the 865,000 gallons Tesoro spilled in 2013, near Tioga.

But I’m an optimist. Some people see a leak. I see free oil. Practice makes perfect and supporters say this 30inch pipeline will be so safe you won’t believe it. It will be the safest pipeline in the world. They build the best pipelines. Believe me. It will be so safe, you’re going to get tired of how safe it is. It will be so safe, they should put a daycare in it. Originally, they were going to run the pipeline under the river, north of Bismarck. When the One Percenters there learned just how safe this pipeline was going to be, they thought, “There is no way we should keep all this safety to ourselves.” It was moved south, close to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, so the Sioux tribe could be safe. For a while, officials thought the throngs were there to admire the awesomeness of Texas technology. Eventually, they figured out from the signs—“We Are Here To Protest”—that the crowd didn’t actually support the pipeline. Republicans in Bismarck, having never experienced actual dissent, got so worked up, Dalrymple declared a State of Arousal. Fortuitously, the statement was amended to “State of Emergency” by the North Dakota Department of Nomenclature before it was released. For the record, the Homeland Security Warning color for an actual State of Arousal would have been a soft pink. Maybe mauve. And the sirens would play Marvin Gaye songs. It was an impressive effort by the NDDN, whose bud-

Horse people Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist

Hello, As ranchers, we spend a lot of time around horse people. Whether it is rodeo friends, ranch friends, or horse traders. Growing up, horse sales were something that you didn’t miss. If you were a young cowboy with a saddle, you could hang around a horse sale and make pretty good money riding horses through the ring for their owners. Or as a young cowboy, you might be able to pick up a horse that you could start riding and turn a little profit after a month or two. And you also had a chance to see some great horse traders or hear stories about horse trades. One of my favorites was the rancher who was holding a production sale. The first colt that came through was selling pretty high. The owner stopped the sale, and announced, “This colt isn’t worth near this much money”” He then proceeded to give the colt to a young boy who had bid on the colt early but had quit bidding when it got too high! The rest of the rancher’s colts sold like they were the last colts in the world. At Ekalaka, Mont. a couple weeks ago heard a

story about a guy that was selling a horse. The potential buyer went along for a ride to try the horse out. As they were leaving the yard, the horse stubbed a toe and stumbled. The owner looked over and said, “He’s never done that before!” A little later the horse stumbled again, “Damn! He’s never done that before!” Just as they rode into the yard the horse flat out stumbled, fell completely down, and dumped the rider off. The owner calmly looked down at the once potential buyer and calmly announced, “That is what he usually does!” Then there was the guy that was going to try this horse that was for sale. The owner, being more honest than many horse traders, told him this might not be the horse for him. “He may buck. He spooks at his tail. If you walk up on him unexpected, he may kick you. But if you can get by him for a couple hours, he’s a pretty dang good ranch horse and will put in a days work.” The buyer looked the horse over and asked, “If I ride him hard for a month or two, or maybe a year or so, do you think my wife or son would be able to use him?” “Absolutely not”, the rancher said. “Good,” the buyer exclaimed! “I’ll take him.” Later, Dean Dean Meyer is a former state legislator and currently ranches in southwest North Daktoa.

get was slashed in the last legislative session, in order to feed the starving children of oil barons. The NDDN’s punctuation department alone was was cut in half. Without commas, the Legislature still isn’t sure if the budget deficit is 300 dollars, or $300 trillion. When commas are funded again in the next session, we will know whether nursing home residents will be sleeping in tents, under bridges, or just humanely euthanized. Meanwhile, back in the bunker, we hear things are somewhat under control, thanks to members of the North Dakota Highway Patrol. The troopers haven’t been called into action this

quickly since someone tried to say a Muslim prayer in the legislative chambers. Even though the Highway Patrol has blocked the road to the casino, it hasn’t stopped the rampant gambling. Bookies are taking odds on how soon the pipeline will leak. Leonardo DiCaprio has 500 bucks on next Tuesday. Despite the relative calm, Rep. Kevin Cramer, who these days moonlights as Trump’s pool boy, wrote a letter to Dalrymple to let him know it would be just dandy if they brought in the National Guard, or called in a drone strike. Fightin’ Kev, they call him in Congress. This protest has a lot of people fired up. On conservative talk shows and on

social media, we heard from upset People Who Are Not Racists Just Because They Support Donald Trump. These are the same people who tell African-Americans and Hispanics they should go back where they came from. In this case, they were struggling en masse with messaging. Even around here, in an informal poll at Willie’s Service, the sentiment was strongly in favor of the pipeline. Until I told them our rural water comes from an inlet near the pipeline. After that, sentiments were still in favor of the pipeline, but only because the guys gathered at Willie’s mostly drink beer, anyway. As for me, I am hunkered down, watching Alex Jones

on YouTube. I have enough batteries to keep my radio going a few months if we lose power. I’ve got my AR15, a case of Cheetos, and a bathtub full of Missouri River water. Before I go to sleep each night on my Army surplus cot, I pray to the Great Spirit, as well as Neptune, Esther Williams, Aquaman, Poseidon and Ryan Lochte. Because if that thing leaks, it’s going to suck. © Tony Bender, 2016 Tony Bender is the former Editor of the Adams County Record and current President of Redhead Publishing in Ashley, ND.

National interest taking over state initiatives Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

When the initiated proposal for Marsy’s Law, backed by California billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III appeared in North Dakota, native commentators worried about out-ofstate meddling in the state’s initiative process. One of the opponents of Marsy’s Law pinpointed the issue at a Bismarck press conference by suggesting that “voters shouldn’t accept a measure pushed by a California businessman.” Nicholas pledged at least $1 million to pass the measure on the November ballot. The introduction of Marsy’s Law for the South Dakota ballot was greeted in the same manner by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader with screaming headlines: “The California billionaire bankrolling Marsy’s Law.” North Dakotans have always been jealous about their opportunity to initiate and refer legislation for the voters to decide. Citizens have had to fend off encroachment on numerous occasions. Historically, the Legislature has been the primary enemy of the initiative and referendum, proposing numerous constitutional amendments to increase the number of required signatures and passing laws

to mute the effectiveness of the process. In recent decades, national groups, corporations, trade organizations and ideologues have been exploiting state initiative and referendum processes all across the country to achieve their ideological and financial goals. In the 2014 elections, we saw millions of Walmart and Walgren dollars in a campaign to change North Dakota’s pharmacy ownership laws. Big dollars came into the state to support a legacy fund for wildlife, recreation and water projects National organizations exploiting the initiative and referendum is not a new phenomenon. As long ago as the 1950s, the S & H Green Stamp company invested thousands in a campaign to trash a legislative proposal that would have required a $600 fee for each S & H location. In 1960 and 1964, railroads spent heavily on initiated measures that would have prescribed crew levels and operating systems. It is very likely that out-of-state money was involved in the 1990s Sunday shopping measures. The major tobacco companies have already pledged over a million dollars to fight the cigarette tax increase appearing in the November election. Colorado became a battleground for Rhode Island and Nevada interests over a gambling measure. Pepsi and Monsanto have put money in Hawaii, Colorado and Oregon to fight the labelling of genetically modified food.

The Koch organization is spending big in South Dakota to stop an initiated measure that would require disclosure of their political donors. All 25 states with the initiative and/or referendum have become playgrounds for out-of-state interests on all sorts of issues. The Center for Public Integrity estimates that $196 million was spent on statewide ballot issues in 2014. Those of us who have fought off attacks on the initiative and referendum through the years must now reconnoiter. The worms are out of the can and there’s no turning back. Both state and national constitutions protect the kind of free speech involved in issue campaigns. A better informed, more discerning electorate was the dream of the advocates who promoted these tools of “direct democracy” at the turn into the Twentieth Century. Sometimes voters have seen through the election rhetoric with wisdom; on other occasions, they have been As of today, the best approach would be the one being offered voters in South Dakota – an initi-

ated measure requiring full transparency and disclosure of all funding sources. We can expect a ton of out-of-state tobacco, Henry Nicholas and marijuana money to be spent on North Dakota ballot measures in the next few weeks. We may not like nationalization of state processes but we can’t lose sight of the core issues raised by the measures relating to criminal justice, tobacco taxes and medical marijuana. Lloyd Omdahl was the 34th Lt. Gov. of North Dakota under Gov. George Sinner. He has also worked as a professor of Political Science for the University of North Dakota. His column has been featured in newspapers in the state.

Opening the season with a win Night Hawks take down Killdeer By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record The Night Hawk volleyball team opened their 2016 season with a win in Scranton over Killdeer, a fellow Region 7 opponent. They jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead in the initial set but Killdeer came back on their serve and took the lead and maintained it as they pulled out a 25-22 win. The rest of the match belonged to the Night Hawks as they fought back to win set two by a 26-24 score and easily won the next two sets by the identical scores of 25-15. The Night Hawks hustled all the way and made some dif-

ficult digs as well as keeping loose balls alive on their side of the net. Killdeer managed to stay with them at times but the Night Hawks were relentless in keeping many volleys alive until getting the point. The Night Hawks are not a tall team as their main spikers were Abbie Kludt and Molly Holt, both probably around 5-foot-7. But this team hustles constantly and leaves it all on the court. If you haven’t been to a volleyball match for awhile, come out and check this team out. You won’t be disappointed. They are a relatively a young team as they start three seniors, two sophomores and one freshman.

The “C” squad won their match by scores of 25-14 and 25-12. I felt Ebony Musonda, Talia Carter and Byrnn Honeyman lead them to victory. Musonda has an uncanny ability to tap the ball to an area where the opposing team could not return it. The Junior Varsity squad lost their match by scores of 26-24 and 25-19. In the first set they fell behind early but kept battling back and were ahead 24-21 but Killdeer scored the next five points to pull it out.

Night Hawks fall to Raiders in home opener By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For The Editor

Not again! Prior to the Night Hawk, RichardtonTaylor football game I listened to the pregame radio broadcast put on by KNDC. Head coach Randy Burwick said that we haven’t won against the Raiders in the last 12 games. Well, make it 13 now. The game started out as if Night Hawk Isaiah Kludt would have another good rushing day, like he had against Wyndmere-Lidgerwood. On the Night Hawks’

first possession of the game, he took the handoff from Jaxon Mellmer and weaved through the Raiders’ defenders and ran it in for a 59-yard touchdown. Later in the second quarter, Mellmer would find Kludt for a 29-yard touchdown pass and the Night Hawks were up 12-0. Richardton-Taylor scored with only seconds left in the first half on an 8-yard run by junior Matthew Naumann. On this drive the buccaneers benefited from a penalty on a late hit by the Night Hawks. The Night Hawk defense was playing much better than in their opening game, but penalties were hurting them.

In the second half Richardton-Taylor outscored the Night Hawks 22-8, with a personal foul on a Night Hawk keeping another Raider drive alive. The lone Night Hawk touchdown was a pass that a Buccaneer defensive back tipped, and an alert Kludt caught it for a 47-yard score. One of the biggest plays for Richardton-Taylor was on a third down, and deep in their own territory, with quarterback Brandon Butterfield evading a sacked and to find a wide open Naumann on a screen pass who scampered 81 yards for a touchdown. Butterfield finished out the game with a 3-yard scoring run with

16 seconds left in the game. The Raiders converted the two-point conversion and pulled out the 28-20 victory. Although Kludt ran for game leading 167 yards, after his first score RichardtonTaylor’s smothering defense kept him in check from any long runs. Butterfield had a decent game as he went 7-10 in passing good for 170 yards. His lone interception came from Kludt in the first quarter. I had Night Hawk Damon Cornelius with the lone Night Hawk sack. Up next for the Night Hawks is against Lemmon, at Lemmon on Sept. 2.

nEye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports

I had to drive for Southwest Transit on Aug. 22 and missed the Night Hawk junior varsity game with Bowman. Found out the next day that Bowman won 70-0. I could not believe the score and had to check with a second source. Hopefully

something positive may come out of the loss in that the JV team realizes where they are at and what they have to do to improve. The first High school football 9-man Football Poll is out as of Aug. 25, 2016. Team, Record, Points: 1. Thompson (4) 1-0 32 2. Shiloh Christian (2) 1-0 18 3. St. John (1) 1-0 13 4. Cavalier 1-0 13 5.

GAME AND FISH NEWS ■■ Fall Turkey Season Set North Dakota’s fall turkey season is set with 3,510 licenses available to hunters,145 fewer than last year. Prospective hunters, including gratis applicants, can apply online, or print out an application to mail, at the State Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Paper applications will be available at vendors Aug. 31. The deadline for applying is Sept. 7 In addition, applicants can apply by calling the department’s toll-free licensing line, 800-4066409. A service fee is added for license applications made over the phone. Only North Dakota residents are eligible to apply in the first lottery. Nonresidents can apply for fall turkey licenses that are still available following the first lottery. Hunting units 21 (Hettinger and Adams counties) and 53 (Divide and Williams counties) will remain closed to fall turkey hunting in 2016 because of low turkey numbers. The fall wild turkey season extends from Oct. 8 through Jan. 8, 2017.

■■ Hunters Asked to Submit Wing Envelopes The North Dakota Game and Fish Depart-

ment is once again asking grouse hunters for help with future bird management by simply collecting some feathers from harvested birds and sending in wing envelopes this fall. Wing data allows biologists to monitor production, reconcile bird counts and get a better understanding of the harvest ratio of males to females, and juveniles to adults. Instructions for submitting wing data are printed on the envelope. Hunters interested in receiving wing envelopes should visit the Game and Fish website (gf. nd.gov) to order a supply of wing envelopes, or contact the department’s main office in Bismarck by phone (701-3286300) or email (ndgf@ nd.gov). In addition, Game and Fish district offices have a supply of wing envelopes for distribution. District offices are located at Devils Lake, Jamestown, Riverdale, Dickinson, Williston and Lonetree Wildlife Management Area near Harvey.

■■ PLOTS Guide Available Onine The North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Private Land Open To Sportsmen Guide for 2016 is now available online at the Department’s website,

gf.nd.gov. In addition, PLOTS Guides will be available at most vendors throughout the state in early September. The guide will feature about 730,000 PLOTS acres. Because the guide is printed in mid-August, some PLOTS tracts highlighted in the guide may have been removed from the program since the time of printing. There will also be some PLOTS tracts where the habitat and condition of the tract will have changed significantly. Conversely, Game and Fish may have added new tracts to the program after the guide went to press. To minimize possible confusion, Game and Fish will update PLOTS map sheets weekly on its website. The PLOTS Guide features maps highlighting these walk-in areas, identified in the field by inverted triangular yellow signs, as well as other public lands. The guides are free, and will be available at license vendors in the state; by walk-in at the Game and Fish Department’s Bismarck office; and at district offices in Riverdale, Harvey (Lonetree), Williston, Dickinson, Jamestown and Devils Lake. The guides are not available to mail, so hunters will have to pick one up at a local vendor, or print individual maps from the website.

ing change by the Caribbean team of Curacao. Their starting pitcher got in trouble by walking three batters and hitting another one. The manager comes out and signals for a new pitcher. Surprisingly the starting pitcher throws his glove in the dugout area and another glove is given to him. He had started out pitching left handed and then went to his right hand. Unfortunately the pitcher lost a tough 2-1 decision to Korea. He started working with his right hand when he was younger as he wanted to play shortstop. Harding County opened up their football season with a 46-0 win over Faith. Harding Co. is helped this year with a transfer from Bowman. Sterling Lee

was an all-region lineman last year as a junior while playing for Bowman. He is also a pretty good wrestler. Lemmon also won their opening football game by downing Bowman 8-6. I drove to New England last Thursday, Aug. 25, to watch my fourth grader grandson play his first football game for Bowman against New England. It is a league with fourth, fifth and sixth graders and is called the Badlands Youth Football League. Other teams in the league are Heart River, Baker (Montana), Beach and Killdeer. Jason Bullis is the coach for Bowman and they won 12-0. Bowman has a roster of around 35 players while New England was low on numbers due to three players out with

injuries. Bowman let New England have 4 or 5 of their players so they would have a few reserves. I’m not a big fan of children playing football at this age. I’d rather have them play flag football or soccer. Both would also be less expensive. Sports schedule for the coming week is as follows: - Sept. 2, Varsity Football at Lemmon - Sept. 6, JH Football vs Grant Co. at Carson - Sept. 6, JV Football vs Grant Co. at Flasher - Sept. 8, Varsity Volleyball at Beulah - Sept. 8, JH Varsity Volleyball at Harding Co. - Sept. 9, Varsity Football vs Beach at Hettinger See you at the games.

Hettinger Country Club to host annual ‘Pitchfork Fondue’ By COLE BENZ

Record Editor If you have lived in North Dakota for the past several years, you’ve probably seen the advertisements for pitchfork fondue in Medora. But did you know, you don’t have to travel very far to taste the unique style of cooking? Every year the Hettinger Area Chamber of Commerce brings their own pitchfork fondue event to Hettinger, an event that dates back a few decades. This year’s event is at the Hettinger Country Club on Saturday, Sept. 17. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m. and the meal is served at 6:30 p.m. For years, Don Howe was in charge of the event, and he provided an old fashioned cast iron kettle he owned for cooking. Due to health reasons, Mike Marion has stepped in and taken over the event, as well as providing a new kettle for

the cooking. The event is very popular among area residents, as Marion usually sells most of the advance tickets. Marion is also in charge of the crew that cooks the steaks for serving. Cost to attend is $20 for advance tickets and $25 at the door, but according to Earlene Friez, the event isn’t really meant to be a fundraiser, it’s designed to be more of a social event, with a neat twist in the method of cooking the food. The cost includes a thick and juicy ribeye steak, baked potato, tossed salad, a roll and a brownie. You won’t be shortchanged when it comes to the main item on your dinner plate. The oil is heated to roughly 380 degrees fahrenheit, and to be considered ‘medium,’ the steaks need to only be in the oil for five minutes. Because of this method, and the way the oil cooks the meat, the steak

needs to be large and thick to retain a premium taste. There’s a lot of meat consumed at the event. In past year’s, the crowd has been served well over 100 lb. Dating back to 2002, Friez said records showed that 125 people were served, and the size of these steaks averaged 1 lb. The steaks have been purchased from both Kennedy’s Fresh Foods and Dakota Packing, and the pitchforks are a mainstay of the event that have been used from year to year. If you haven’t tried pitchfork fondue, its a unique opportunity, and a unique taste, according to Friez. “[The meat] has a unique taste,” Friez said. “It’s not like grilled, I mean it has a unique taste of its own.” Friez says that the taste and method of cooking is all a part of what makes the event such great experience for people that come out and partake.
