Dakota Frontier Cooperative building new agronomy center By COLE BENZ

Record Editor Dakota Frontier Cooperative will have a new agronomy center, and manager Rich Jahner said they hope to be up and running at the new location by Jan. 1, 2017. The new agronomy center will be located just a

few miles west of Hettinger and will service both fertilizer and chemical needs for producers. Jahner said the services won’t change, but the efficiency will be better. “We’re hoping that process is only going to take about 20 minutes,” Jahner said when referencing loading chemicals and

fertilizers for producers. The new campus-like location will feature a 60foot by 120-foot building for their chemical business. The structure will be divided into two 60-foot by 60-foot areas with one side being temperature controlled. The fertilizer portion will be a collection of 14

new stainless steel bins, two 16-ton blenders, and a small structure by the silos so they can monitor the output processes. Jahner said the desire is to keep everything centralized. “Our goal is to move everything all in one location as far as the agronomy side of the business

goes here,” Jahner said. “The only thing we’re not going to move out here is our anhydrous plant at this time.” The initial plans for the new agronomy center started prior to the Alliance Ag, DFC merger. Jahner said they had been discussing the project, and when Alliance Ag was

speaking with different companies about acquisition, this project was always something they talked about heavily, and need to be included in any potential deal. Jahner said the DFC was always in support of the new center.

IN BRIEF

Federal Funding announced to Support Criminal Justice Efforts U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today announced $512,433 in federal funding to fight drug-related crime and to assist lawyers who work in the public sector repay student loans. “Support for the criminal justice system keeps all of us safe and secure in our homes,” said Heitkamp. “The federal funding announced today will help our state fight the drug-related crimes that have swept across our state by providing needed support to the victims of such crimes, and by supporting the work of the public defenders and prosecutors on the front lines of these cases in our courtrooms.” These federal funds are distributed as follows: • North Dakota Attorney General’s Office - $481,103 has been made available to reduce drug abuse, violent crime, and for support service for victims of violent crimes. These federal funds are made available through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program through the U.S. Department of Justice. • Bank of North Dakota - $31,330 in federal funding to help state, local, and federal public defenders and local and state prosecutors repay their students loans. This federal funding is made available through the John R. Justice Program Student Loan Repayment Grant Program at the U.S. Department of Justice.

“This was something that the board of directors from Alliance Ag wanted the new company, whoever it was that we merged with, to be able to do,” Jahner said. “And

DFC saw value in that, and that was kind of part of the merger.” Jahner said DFC has a lot of pride in their business, and with the current location, they have room to expand, which supports that sentiment. Jahner said that land was

purchased from a private seller. The merger took effect on Feb. 1, 2016. For now, Jahner said they will continue to offer the same services, but they will be able to service customers on a larger scale.

“It’ll be all the same services that we offer now, just hoping we’ll actually be able to do it on a larger scale,” Jahner said. Jahner said they will host an open house for the community, but details on a potential event have yet to be discussed.

U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today announced additional federal funding of up to $185 million has been made available for farmers in the form of direct and guaranteed farm operating loans made available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA). “North Dakota’s farmers and ranchers wake up every morning and do their jobs to feed the world- even when the going gets tough,” said Heitkamp. “The Farm Ser-

vice Agency plays a critical role in making sure our producers receive the support they need in such downturns, and Aaron Krauter and his team in North Dakota are doing a great job of making sure our state’s farmers and ranchers have the resources they need. The additional Farm Service Agency operating loan funding will help our farmers and ranchers acquire the support they need to continue to feed our state and the world.” The FSA supports farmers

and ranchers by implementing programs authorized in the Farm Bill like the farm operating loans program that received the additional revenue. Lower commodity prices have put added strain on the agricultural industry and has created increased demand for operating loans that will keep farmers and ranchers pushing forward. Heitkamp has been strong advocate for North Dakota’s farmers and ranchers and has consistently been in contact with North Dakota’s

FSA Executive Director, Aaron Krauter, who plays a critical role in making sure farmers and ranchers have the financial resources to continue operation despite the market conditions. Recently, Heitkamp traveled throughout North Dakota in a two day Farm Bill tour, meeting with local producers at the North Dakota’s Farmers Union where she discussed the importance of crop insurance as an important component of the Farm Bill.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

UND student restores 1897 printing press A senior graphic design student at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, will be demonstrating an antique printing press that he restored at the annual threshing bee and antique show at Braddock, N.D., Sept. 10 and 11. Shawn Marshall of Burlington, N.D., restored an 1897 Challenge Gordon platen press as part of an internship for his graphic design major. He will be printing a souvenir card on the 119-year-old press during the show. The press was originally used for printing envelopes, letterheads and business cards at the Isabel Dakotan, a weekly newspaper at Isabel, S.D. Former publisher Myron Lofgren, now of Sioux City, Iowa, donated his antique letterpress equipment to the Timber Lake & Area Historical Society, but the museum did not have space for two of his presses, the Challenge Gordon and a much larger Babcock Standard Pony cylinder press that once printed the newspaper. Both were put into storage. The Challenge Gordon ended up uncovered in an open building at Firesteel, S.D., where it rusted and deteriorated for many years. Kathy Nelson, publisher of the Timber Lake Topic and a long-time member of the historical society, arranged for the two presses plus an Intertype type-setting machine to be transferred to The Braddock News Letterpress Museum at Braddock. The museum is part of the South Central Threshing Association, Inc. pioneer village. Marshall began restoring the Challenge Gordon in June and worked on it until mid- August. He finished it over Labor Day weekend. He disassembled the press and put the smaller parts into water in a large plastic garbage can and the two largest pieces in a farm stock tank. Electrolysis was used

to remove the buildup of rust, ink and dirt. Then he buffed the pieces to the bare metal before priming and painting. Marshall painted the press blue, a color uncovered during the electrolysis process, and pin-striped various parts, including the wheel and treadle, in metallic gold. “I had no idea how long it would take when I started, and it went far beyond the hours required for the internship,” Marshall said. “It turned out well, and the press prints like it did when it was first put into service in the 1890s.” Marshall’s goal is to have his own letterpress studio after he graduates from UND and to use antique equipment to create works of art. Also volunteering at the Braddock News during the show will be Dr. Lucy Ganje, the UND professor who inspired Marshall’s interest in letterpress. She retired in May and has a letterpress studio which she will be moving from Grand Forks to Rapid City, S.D., this fall. Curator of the Braddock museum is Allan Burke, publisher emeritus of the Emmons County Record at Linton, N.D., and the Prairie Pioneer at Pollock, S.D. Burke said the press probably would not have been restored without Marshall’s internship and dedication. The model of Challenge Gordon that Marshall restored is one of fewer than a dozen in the country believed to have avoided being scrapped. Marshall is the son of Gregory and Margie Marshall of Burlington.

This was followed by the crown bearers, second grade students Johanna Korang and Kolby Melling. Then the candidates proceeded in. Mr. Moser, crowned the king, Alec Andress. Alec then gave his proclamation, which all of the candidates had pre-recorded, Alec crowned our 2016 Homecoming Queen, Brianna Robinson who then read her

This event would not have been nearly so successful without the help of several people: Ms. Jeri Dunn, our decorator, and master of ceremony. Vivian Robinson our recording master. Mr. Kohler and Mr. Moser and, of course, Mr. Schmaltz and his awesome group of students that always take care of the “burning” portion of our program. Most importantly the students of Hettinger Public School, the kids whohave used their imagination and ingenuity, are making this a homecoming week to remember.

Hello, Saw an interesting story on the news this morning. They are having more rat sightings in New York City and Chicago than normal. They have determined that the rat population is much too high. Now these are pretty much the same people that have determined that the prairie dog population is too low. There was an article saying how North Dakota was flunking in prairie dog reclamation. I have been to Chicago. I have been to New York City. From my observation, their problem is too many people. Not too many rats. And along these same lines, I listened to a “scientist” the other day who had been studying rats..er, excuse me, prairie dogs. She found that prairie dogs will only compete with cattle for about 4% of the forage. I think she had her head stuck in a prairie dogs hole! (You can take that any way you want) I have studied prairie dog towns. I have observed them from close up and far away. I have studied them with the naked eye and through a Weaver scope. And in my observations, if you attempt to control the population of prairie dogs by shooting, you will go insane. For every one you are lucky enough to shoot, two more stand up and bark. And I can guarantee you, prairie dogs eat more than 4% of the forage. They eat it all. If you have a pasture with a large town in it, the grass will be gone before a cow can put her head down in the spring. Shirley has been fighting a losing battle against these pests. Smoke bombs, legal poisons, illegal poisons… you name it, she tried it. Even Double Bubble chewing gum. We heard that if you put gum out, the varmints will eat it and it will expand in their stomach and they will die a slow painful death. I think I heard that in a bar. From a gum salesman. Shirley tried it. The next day

we went out to check. The prairie dogs were sitting on their mounds reading the little cartoons and blowing bubbles. Actually, it was kind of cute. I am coming up with a new plan. A good one. You’ve heard of CRP. The Conservation Reserve Program. Where the government pays you to seed grass and set aside highly erodible land. It’s a good plan, unless you have good land or are a seed salesman or run an elevator. I am proposing the PDP. That’s right. The Prairie Dog Plan. You get paid for raising this vanishing species of adorable creatures. The government, or the Sierra Club, or the Wildlife Federation would foot the bill. You just determine what the highest rate of return is for CRP and extend that to dog towns. And since you have to keep the habitat around the dog town relatively short, so they have room to expand, you continue to graze your cattle. Maybe even get paid for it. And you just keep doubling your acreage every year. Without having to reseed it. The dogs do that through a natural process called breeding. I can just hear it in the coffee shop or bar now. “Hey Jake, How’s your prairie dogs doing?” “Oh, just fair. Don’t seem to be expanding like they should. Only added another section this spring.” “Well, it’s been pretty wet. Probably gonna be a problem with diseases.” “We had a touch of pneumonia in the little ones this spring. Spent ten thousand dollars on vaccine. Had a hell of a time gathering them all. Little buggers are hard to corral.” “Boy, you tellin’ me. We had one young male must have got run out of the herd last month. Caught him running down the road towards Dickinson. Got out in Harolds corn and we must have run over 60 acres getting him in.” “Sixty acres of corn! Was he mad?” “He was a little skittish till we gave him a little grass in a box. Harold was mite upset though!” Later, Dean Dean Meyer is a former state legislator and currently ranches in southwest North Daktoa. He has been a featured columnist around the state for many years.

His funeral was Friday in eem Rapid City. Lemmon became Capitol ey other For the Day on Wednesday. Gov. Dennis and Linda y wet. Daugaard and several people ob-

from his office flew up from Pierre to tour the community and meet with business leaders and legislators from District 28. This was also the 70th anniversary of Wheeler’s and we were all treated to a fantastic lunch at the Beeler building at noon. All of Wheeler’s employers were honored for their years of service making that beautiful jewelry and then Gov. Daugaard addressed the crowd after lunch. Rep. Sam Marty, Sen. Ryan Maher, and I were the legislators in attendance and we joined the crowd at the meeting about governmental issues at the Grand River Museum that afternoon. We got to meet Scott Stern, the new Economic Development Commissioner who recently replaced Pat Costello. Scott is married to a former Lemmon resident, Staci Kesling, who graduated from Lemmon High School with our daughter-in-law Missy. Another former graduate of LHS, Tiffany (Anderson) Sanderson accompanied Linda Daugaard to the school so the First Lady could read to the elementary kids. Tiffany’s Grandpa Lester Blomberg was my father’s first cousin and Dad and Lester were both raised in the Slim Buttes near Flat Top Butte. Reub ruined a tire the manure spreader on Thursday, so he had Casey pick up a new one from Northern Auto when he took horses to the vet in Hettinger to get their Coggins test. That afternoon we went to Hettinger for Reub’s appointment with Mary Eggebo. Mel Eggebo is back to work at Runnings after his heart surgery and is looking good! After we picked up the stuff we needed from Runnings, we went to check on how

Sage and Taz were doing on Sage and Alaina’s new house they are building west of town. They have the basement walls up and are ready to pour the flour this week. Taz went back to help Sage again on Friday. Casey went to Buffalo for a work day at the arena to get it ready for the Labor Day rodeos over the weekend. And Reub broke another U joint on the manure spreader that day. I swear, that machine has it in for him! Friday evening most of Harding County drove to Timber Lake for the football game. Harding County won 56 to 22! Saturday was the first day of the Labor Day celebration in Buffalo. I was on ambulance duty for the matched steer wrestling and breakaway roping at the Tipperary Arena and Reub came with me to watch the

cowboys and cowgirls compete. We left right after the rodeo so we could get home in time to lock the chickens up before the coons got any more of them. The annual Glendo community picnic was Sunday at Reva Gap. Some of our neighbors camped out down there the night before and we went over right after church. A good crowd gathered for the picnic and, as usual, we had way too much food. It was so cool most of us wore jackets and it only rained a couple drops. It’s nice to get the neighborhood together without it being a funeral for one of us. Just a reminder for local pilots – don’t forget the Fly In at Dennis and Roger Nash’s ranch for the pancake breakfast early in the morning on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Omdahl By LLOYD OMDAHL

Doug Burgum, probablegovernor-elect, is making bold plans to get North est Dakota thinking outside of een a the box in the same fashion nd the as he did when overcoming barriers to creating the billion-dollar Great Plains Software empire. Having no prior government experience, he is not saddled with all of the baggage of bureaucratic thinking that impairs imagination. He can think freely without taking aspirin. Before he can take us down the road to see the Wizard of Oz, however, he will need to deal with the staggering budget shortfall, solved only partly when the special session of the Legislature put a finger in the dike by draining every piggy bank. The shortfall will be twice as big when Probable-Governor-Elect Burgum arrives in Bismarck. Since we all claim North Dakota as our own, we all have a responsibility to offer suggestions, with the given exception of refunding all of the oil, income and property tax breaks granted to ourselves in the heydays of oil. Unfortunately, the Legislature convinced voters to stash billions of oil money in a constitutional Legacy Fund so the Legislature couldn’t get it. Oddly enough, now the Legisla-

the word to any pilots he might have missed. The Labor Day parade was Monday morning in Buffalo. Sen. Ryan Maher and Rep. Sam Marty rode together through the parade and, as their Senior Advisor and retiring Senator, I drove Sam’s pickup for them while they threw Ryan’s candy at all the little kids. It rained on us all through the parade, but no one seemed to mind and it stopped before the delicious beef barbeque under the big tent downtown. Bob Hall sent me this to share with you: IMPOSSIBILITIES IN THE WORLD 1) You can’t count your hair. 2) You can’t wash your eyes with soap. 3) You can’t breathe through your nose when your tongue is out. Put your tongue back

ture can’t get it. Sometimes, foresight is good. Asking tourists to bring their own toilet paper to the rest areas won’t quite cut it. Neither will giving the governor’s salary back to the state treasury. Here are some better mind-expanding suggestions. Perhaps, Doug didn’t see the Gallup study that indicated North Dakota has the highest payroll-to-population ratio of any state in the Union. This suggests that he could do something about the number of employees. If he thinks about cutting the state payroll, he should leave the secretaries. They do all of the work. Government would keep running without so much as a coffee break. We have twice as many elected officials as the average state. A few of them could go but they are sacrosanct so forget about them. Most people do. We could raise speed limits to 110 MPH and lay off the State Patrol. The officers would be picked up by local police and sheriffs who are losing ground to crime according to Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem. We could borrow an idea from the Christian folks who go out to fight sin and poverty with funding from the monthly support of faithful believers. They call it “raising support.” Maybe employees in the Human Services Department could go to churches, friends and neighbors and “raise support” to continue their work with the less fortunate. Higher education soaks up a big chunk of the state budget. If we made all of

the institutions two-year community colleges, it would save millions by eliminating those expensive junior, senior and graduate classes that eat up so much faculty time. Some states have billed prisoners for room and board but since nobody will hire felons they have not been able to pay. I don’t think prisoners are in position to “raise support” so that is not an option. However, we could expand Rough Rider Industries at the prison with a state cannery. To supply the cannery, we could expand the prison vegetable gardens and provide summer work for the inmates. Dakota Maid Kosher Pickles! The Crunch, Crunch, Crunchiest! Another possibility would be taking a loan against oil income expected between 2060 and 2100. Of course, we would be passing the buck to future generations but that would not be without precedent. If we find it absolutely impossible to balance the budget, we might consider subcontracting the whole government to West Virginia. They have the lowest payroll-to-population ratio and may regard North Dakota as an investment opportunity. I have the instructions for implementing these proposals available to everyone printed in English, Spanish and Swahili. Lloyd Omdahl was the 34th Lt. Gov. of North Dakota under Gov. George Sinner.

By TONY BENDER

Guest Columnist

Note: Tony Bender decided not to labor on Labor Day. Here’s one of our favorites from 1991. I’m going to have to paint that. The painting I gave Grandpa for Christmas that year tells a tale that runs deeper than the canvas and the oils. The painting depicts the first confrontation, out on the dusty prairies, of horses, horsemen and a smoke-belching, popping Model A in the early part of the century. The horses rear and snort wildly, nostrils flared, as riders struggle to control them. Grandpa was the last of the cowboys, and this was a scene he had lived. He hung the painting crookedly in a place of honor in his living room. But it would look straight from his position sprawled out on the couch, he explained when I protested. I did not tell him where I got the painting. I didn’t know the old man painted when I sought him out in the Badlands of North Dakota, but I knew he was an artist. He had been inducted into an old time fiddlers hall of fame, and I came to hear him play. It was presumptuous of me to travel the back roads to that shotgun shack expecting a concert, but I was welcomed warmly with coffee in a sunlit kitchen with prehistoric appliances. The fiddler was 82, yet he still was in demand at local summer festivals. He had picked up the bow when he was eight, and

his playing had improved like fine wine. He played a melancholy waltz and I was struck by his passion. His breathing became ragged and he struggled to hold back the tears. When he was done, my smile had to serve as the standing ovation I felt inside. He sat and we talked and I asked about the paintings that hung on walls throughout the house. They were like his children. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Flowers posed in vases and Vikings rowed and grimaced fiercely beneath shaggy beards. Cowboys rode the range. I thought about my grandfather and asked if the fiddler would sell one. I didn’t understand his hesitation. He could surely paint more, I thought. But the awful truth was he could not. He would sit in front of the canvas with brush in hand, but his muse had slipped away. Dementia. The thief had stolen his visions. It was his wife who told me that while the old man rummaged through the attic for a painting to sell. Knowing what I knew, I didn’t choose his best. But they were all good. His only condition was that I photograph the painting so he would have something to remember it by. I assured him that the cowboys, horses and ancient motorist would have a good home. And my grandfather would relive his youth through another old man’s hands.

in your mouth, you silly person. TEN THINGS I KNOW ABOUT YOU: 1) You are reading this. 2) You are human. 3) You can’t say the letter P without separating your lips. 4) You just attempted to do it. 6) You are laughing at yourself. 7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped No. 5. 8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5. 9) You laugh at this because you are a fun loving person & everyone does it too. 10) You are probably going to share this to see who else falls for it. Betty Olson is a South Dakota rancher and state legislator for District 28.

I tucked the painting safely into my car, and we stood together in the warm autumn sun. A faded, unsteady grey fence separated the yard from a steep coulee where songbirds perched in dying branches. The fiddler had his fiddle, so I asked for an encore. He obliged and the music drifted from the strings across the plain. The birds halted their song out of respect as the stiff, gnarled fingers worked the gut. I listened, enraptured, as the old man struggled to play as flawlessly as the birds had sung. When he was done, he looked down at the birds, at the trees and at the rugged land below. “I’m gonna have to paint that one of these days,” he said. What could I say? I knew the scene would never be captured on canvas. So I drank the picture in. I memorized the deafening silence of the birds. I listened to the wind in the dry grass, and I filed the old man’s song in my memory. And this morning I got up and I did what he could not do. I painted that scene on the canvas of a computer screen. © Tony Bender, 1991 Tony Bender is the former Editor of the Adams County Record and current President of Redhead Publishing in Ashley, ND.

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Baesler invites applications for Student Cabinet State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler is asking North Dakota young people to apply to join her Student Cabinet. The group will provide Baesler with their ideas and opinions about how to improve North Dakota education. Public and private school students enrolled in grades three through 12, as well as students in their first year of college, are encouraged to apply. The application form is posted here: https://www.nd.gov/dpi/ uploads/26/ApplicationforSelectionStudentCabinet20162017.pdf Applicants must be able to travel to meetings and have a parent or chaperone to accompany them. The application deadline is Friday, Sept. 23, 2016. Superintendent Baesler hopes to name her cabinet appointments by Sept. 30. The cabinet will have up to 20 members. Applicants are asked to respond to these questions: 1. Why do you want to be a member of the cabinet? 2. What characteristics do

you have that would benefit the cabinet? 3. What do you believe is the biggest issue facing students in North Dakota? Applicants are also invited to list any school or community activities in which they are involved. Members of the Student Cabinet “will have a voice and a role in shaping what the next generation of students will experience in their classrooms, and could even influence their next year in school,” Baesler said. “Just from my experience as a vice principal and as a teacher myself, and even as a school board member, I find that when I visit with students, they have thoughts and opinions on a whole myriad of subjects,” Baesler said. “We can find out what their ideas are, so they can share with us their thoughts on how we can improve things, and how we can build on things that we are already doing well.” Questions should be directed to Candice Tollefson, phone 701-328-2272, email ctollefson@nd.gov.

Stephanie Howe is again coaching the Night Hawk cross country team. She only has seven runners out but what I like about Stephanie is her love and dedication for the sport and it shows in her written comments. She has some young runners and I’m sure if they stick to the sport coach Howe will get the best out of them. Zeta Drolc is her assistant coach. Coach Howe’s assessment of the team; “Killdeer meet went really well. This was a different meet than what we normally run. They did relays. Each runner ran one loop around the course slapping hands with their partner and they would run a loop. I ran Sidra Sadowsky and Morgan Hutzenbiler together on JV and they got first place! Peyton Tuhy and Brian Bartholmy ran it together and Mitch Dalley ran with a runner from a different school. It was a very fun race to kick off the season. The Bowman meet was on Thursday although it was windy we had some great performances. The girls race has been bumped up to a 5k this year it has been a 4k in the past so we had to bump up the training a bit on the girls side. The girls Varsity race Sidra

Sadowsky placed 11th with a time of 23:52.30! Morgan Hutzenbiler finished with a time of 26:59.98, this is Morgan’s first year running XC. She has shown great dedication and has done very well. Sidra is running her second year of XC and has already shown vast improvements. She has trained hard all summer and is ready to take on this season. I am very proud of how well she has done in this sport. She definitely has a natural talent for distance running.” “Peyton Tuhy placed seventh in the JV race on Thursday with a time of 13:41.76. He has shown some natural talent in running as well as hard work during practice. I believe he has a great future in this sport. Levi Howard finished with a time 15:26.44 this was Levi’s first race this season. This is also Levi’s first year running cross country. He did do some training over the summer which has shown. He is at practice every day working hard and it shows in his improvements. Mitchell Dalley finished with a time of 15:43.13. He has shown great effort and has worked hard this season as well. This is Mitchell’s first year of cross country and I am very excited to see how much he will improve over the season. Brian Bartholmy ran a time of 19:18.85, this is also his first season out for cross country. He ran some

of the elementary races at the bigger meets last year and has had a passion for running. He brings that passion to each and every practice. He puts forth his best efforts and I enjoy watching him grow as a runner.” “We may not have a big quantity of runners but we certainly have quality. These kids have shown dedication and motivation for this sport and I couldn’t be more proud. This year I have a younger team. My goal this season was to work on building a good strong base. We need endurance and strength. The one thing these other schools have over us is an elementary running program and they train year round. As opposed to signing up for a bunch of meets my goal was to focus more on the training aspect of the sport and attend some of the bigger meets with the tougher competition. We need five runners in each race to place as a team and we are lacking in the number of runners in each race. We will most likely not place with points or as a team so we are choosing to focus on improving on an individual level. As long as they get better with each race I know I am doing my job. Our next race is in Mandan which will be quite a few Class A schools, but I think it will be a great way for them to see how much their hard work has paid off.”

ADAMS COUNTY RECORD

Night Hawks bring home Wooden Nickel with win against Lemmon By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

For The Record In the inaugural “Battle of the Wooden Nickel” football game played at Hettinger last season, the Lemmon-McIntosh Cowboys came out on top 34-14. That was the first time these two old rivalries had played each other since 2010. So the two schools decided to have a traveling trophy to play for. The Night Hawks brought the “Wooden Nickel” back as they defeated the Cowboys, 34-14, at Lemmon on Friday, Sept. 2. Coinci-

dently the same score as last year, only reversed. The Night Hawk defense played well as they held Lemmon without a first down on their first two possessions. Night Hawk Hudson Pierce scored the first touchdown of the game as he hauled in a pass from Jaxon Mellmer for a 35-yard scoring play. Isaiah Kludt tallied the second touchdown of the first quarter with a 9-yard scamper to put the Night Hawks up 160. The Cowboys got on the board on the first play of the second quarter as quarterback Wyatt Huffman scored

from one yard out. Their scoring drive was kept alive by two pass interference calls on the Night Hawks. Penalties continue to hurt the Night Hawks. The Night Hawks came back to score the next two touchdowns. The first of these came after the Night Hawks gambled on a fourth down with eight yards to go. They faked the punt and snapped the ball to Kludt who gained just enough for the first down. A few plays later, Kludt caught another Mellmer pass for a 15-yard touchdown. Kludt scored again on a 17-yard run on the first play after a Lem-

mon punt. Lemmon was deep in their own territory and ball went off the punter’s side of his foot and only went about eight yards. The Cowboys’ Dirk Wolf got the final score of the game with a 21-yard run in the final quarter. The Night Hawks had begun substituting in the fourth quarter. Kludt ended up with 174 yards rushing and Pierce had a nice game with 81 yards on the ground. Mellmer was 3-8 for 59 yards in the passing department. The Night Hawks now have a 2-1 record with the remaining five games against Region 5 opponents.

Eye on southwest ND sports North Dakota Sports By SHELDON CHRISTENSON

The Night Hawk Junior High football team opened their season with a tough 36-24 loss to Beach on Aug. 29. Coach Dave Erickson provided me the following info; “Jaran Anderson scored 3 TD’s and Conner Andress scored 1 TD. Currently we have 14 players - only 5 are 8th graders - so the young kids played well for their first organized game.” 9-Man Football Poll as of Aug. 31. 1. Thompson (13) 2-0 69 2.
