Former state senator remembered for his tenacity

Bill Bowman

Staff Report

Former state senator Bill Bowman died Saturday at the age of 74. Services will be held Saturday at the United Methodist Church in Bowman. He was a member of the North Dakota State Senate for nearly 30 years, serving as the 39th District’s representative from 1990 until 2018. Born in in the Montana city of Baker in 1946, Bowman grew up in Slope County northwest of Rhame and would later graduate from Dickinson State University in 1970 with a degree in business. He served in the United States Army and also worked as an auctioneer, rancher and farmer. But a former colleague in the state legislature remembered him for being tenacious during his tenure in the cap-

ital city. The republican state legislator from Bowman served on the Agriculture and Human Services committees when he was in Bismarck. Bowman also served as a vice chairman for the Senate Appropriations Committee during part of the 11 sessions he was on the committee. Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner of Dickinson, who attended DSU with Bowman and would later serve in the legislature together, made the announcement Saturday. “I got to know him at Dickinson State. He played football and I was the student manager of the football team.” His education at DSU was interrupted because he had to go into the military, Wardner recalled, noting that was during the military draft and the height of the Vietnam War. Wardner was a senior the year Bowman started as a freshman on the Dickinson campus. It was many years later when they would reconnect in another way – both joining the state legislature in 1990. Wardner was a new representative, while Bowman had knocked off an incumbent to become a new state senator. The districts were laid out differently than they are now, Wardner noted. When the two DSU grads went into the state legislature, the senate district at that time was literally including Billings and Golden Valley along with Slope and Bowman counties, he explained. “We did not see much of each other through the 1970s and 1980s. I knew who he was and he knew who I was, but we didn’t have much contact. “In 1990, he ran for the senate from

District 39. I ran for the house District 37 here in Dickinson. So, we started seeing each other once in a while, on political campaigns and events, and stuff like that. “He had defeated an incumbent – someone who had been around for a while. That tells you about his career (in Bismarck),” the senate majority leader said. “He did a yeoman’s job in getting elected. He worked hard. He was tenacious campaigner. He went after it and that is how his whole legislative life was. “When there were things that he felt were the right things to do, especially when it came to this area of the state, he went after it. He’d keep going until he had accomplished his mission,” his colleague said. Four sessions later, Wardner joined Bowman in the senate. “We’d talk a lot about legislation, especially for southwest North Dakota.” Wardner described the long-time resident of Bowman County as a very tenacious legislator and credited him with helping bring road funds to the county because of the impact oil production vehicles were having on local roads. Wardner also said that Bowman retired in 2018 for health reasons. According to the senate majority leader, Bowman was a strong conservative in Bismarck but treated the other legislators as family. “He wanted to make sure the state’s money was spent very efficiently. I still remember when he was the chairman in Appropriations. He had to do the budget for the Human Services. “If anybody thought that Bill was not caring or was cold hearted, I’ll tell you that man sweated bullets trying to do

what was right for people that was affected and getting benefits from Human Services. He was a very compassionate person, too. “He lost sleep, I remember that,” Wardner explained. “It bothered him when he was unable to take care of all the needs that everybody said that they needed. He really put his whole heart and soul into that budget,” Warnder added. “He was a champion for ag and energy,” he said. He loved agriculture and did a lot of things to help the agriculture industry – not only in southwestern North Dakota. There are many programs that were passed … the extension programs that they have out of NDSU,” he said, citing one example. “One of the buildings – the Diagnostic Center – was named after him. “Rightly so. He was such a supporter of the ag programs and the extensions.” When it came to energy, he also left a big mark, the senate majority leader said. “Bowman County and the Cedar Hills formation, was going much earlier – in 2004. Bowman County had a lot of traffic from the oil activity. The roads in Bowman County were getting really beat up. Bill kept telling everybody that we needed more help. The formula was not sending enough money back to the oil-producing counties. “It just so happened at that time that Bowman was the major one. Bill kept telling people that the roads were getting beat up. “It kind of fell on deaf ears … then the Bakken hit and that changed. All of a sudden everybody understood what Bill was talking about because not only was Bowman County having difficul-

It was Lion King by twilight as the Rhame community went to the movies on a nice summer evening.

Rhame holds burger finale with The Lion King The Rhame Community Club closed out its Burger in the Park summer Aug. 12 with a twilight movie. It was one of Disney’s most popular animate features, The Lion King, which ended the summer of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads and ice cream for the people in Huntington Park. The film was set up on a portable screen in the open area of the park with a projector using power

from the park gazebo. It was part of the Consolidated 2020 summer series of Movie Night in the Park. Before the movie began, there were games for the children with bubble wands going to the winners. It was reportedly the final burger night in the park of the year, according to organizers.

ties maintaining their infrastructure, but so were all of the counties in the Bakken,” Wardner said. That led to the formulae the state had been using to be changed, in lieu of property taxes, he said. The money came back to the oil-producing counties for cities and schools, Wardner explained. “Bill was a major part of that and played a big role in us getting that taken care of.” Ranching was in Bill’s heart, Wardner said. “He understood the importance of research and development. He was a real champion for the Beef Center of Excellence at NDSU,” according to Wardner. The animal diagnostic center at NDSU is a first-class facility – with Bill Bowman’s name on it, he added. There are a lot of federal lands in the Badlands, Bowman County and Slope County and the state was taking it all, Wardner recalled. “Bill fought the fight there and made sure the local political subs got part of that and that it shouldn’t all go to the state of North Dakota. “He wanted to make sure that his constituents were being treated fairly. If there was a theme about Bill, it was that,” Wardner said. “He looked out for his constituents. He would move mountains to make sure that the people in Bowman and in Slope County especially were treated right.” EDITOR’S NOTE: People with photos and stories to tell about Bill Bowman’s impact locally can submit them to pioneerinfo@countrymedia.net for consideration of publication in the next issue of the Bowman County Pioneer.

Staff Report

It was a change in previous fairs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Slope County held its 4-H Achievement Day and Market Livestock Sale Monday at the Slope County Fairgrounds in Amidon. In normal years, the events would be part of a multi-day fair experience for the participants. But, in 2020, the rest of the Slope County will start Aug. 29 at the fairgrounds. Another thing missing will be exhibits at the fairgrounds, added NDSU Extension agent Shelby Hewson, and saying that it is another victim of the COVID changes. After the judging, the 43 animals became part of the livestock sale. Twenty-one animals went up for auction in beef, while there were 14 in the hogs, four of the sheep, three goats and one in poultry. Cutter Ouradnik was the grand champion in poultry.

Storms hammer region with hail Public response requested Staff Report

Bowman County and the rest of southwestern North Dakota were hammered with high winds, rain and some flooding in areas – not once, but twice – within a few days. According to the National Weather Service office in Bismarck, the region was hit by an evening storm earlier in the week, but Thursday (Aug. 13) evening it was hit even harder. The second storm brought winds up to 80 miles per hour and more than an inch of rain which hit the county Thursday evening and continued through Friday morning. In addition, there were reports of hail ranging from pellet size to that of ping-pong and golf ball size as the storm system continued its move through Adams County and further east, according to the NWS. Most of the hail reports near Hettinger were of one inch to slightly larger, a NWS Bismarck meteorologist said Monday. “Later that morning the hail was a little bit bigger in south central (part of the state) and the James River Valley,” Nathan Heinert said. “We had almost 1.75-inch (hail). Most of the golf ball size hail reports came from the Napoleon and the Jamestown area. The two storms were different, Heinert explained. “It was a different situation. “The Thursday night-Friday (storm) was a pretty strong wave... an upper level wave … that came through,” he said, comparing it to a strong storm system which hit the state in 2010. In that storm we had the record-tying hailstone in Cannonball North Dakota. This system was lacking moisture, compared to that event (in 2010).

“Monday was just kind of your typical pattern,” he said, comparing the two storms, which hit the region just days apart. “Thursday-Friday was a pretty strong wave that came through overnight. That is why everything happened late. Usually, the stronger events happen in the early evening. The nighttime events are more rare. They usually need a strong upper level system to trigger that. There were reports of more than an inch of rain in the vicinity of New England and hail the size of marbles. There were only places in the region, which said they had 1.4 inches of rain during the overnight storm. According to the NWS, the storm was moving east at approximately 50 miles per hour overnight, with the most intense areas around the Highway 12 corridor near the border with South Dakota. The Bismarck office of the NWS issued a situation report predicting the storms early Thursday afternoon, citing the likelihood of severe thunderstorms and the fact that the storms would be arriving after dark. While a meteorologist in the Bismarck office said the earlier storm was more of a normal event for the area and the time of the year, he added the Thursday-Friday storm was different. Heinert said that the whole region from Bowman, Adams and Hettinger counties north, there was very healthy rainfall, ranging from half an inch to just under an inch. “It is going to help because it is so dry now,” he added. Winds reported as high as 59 miles per hour at the Bowman County Airport, while south

of Griffin, there was a gust of about 64 miles per hour. Near Sunset Butte, south of Rhame and Marmarth, there were winds measured at 66 and 70 miles per hour, according to Heinert. Southeast of Havelock in Hettinger County, there was a report of a 75 miles per hour wind gust. In Lemmon, there was a gust measured at 73 miles per hour at the South Dakota town east of Hettinger. When it came to rain, the Bowman area received approximately .76 inches, while Rhame had 0.8 inches, Heinert said. “When you go up north, like to Dickinson and Stark County to Dunn County, their amounts ranged from one-half inch to just under an inch. “The whole region from Bowman and Adams County north, it was a very healthy rainfall.” The overnight storm damaged a number of crops in the area, he said. “We had reports that corn and canola fields were damaged... if they were unlucky enough to be where that downburst was or the hail fell. Outside of the wind and the hail, it was a pretty beneficial rainfall.” He noted on that on the NWS Facebook page, there were photographs of some of the damaged crops from through the region affected by the storm. The weather will be warmer for the next week or so, with a cold front following later, he explained. “There is a big high pressure across the western United States and that is going to linger out there for quite a while,” he said. “We might have a frontal system coming through early next week, but that is kind of iffy.”

Every second counts National Newspaper In North Dakota, the leading cause of death for most age groups five years of age and older, includes heart disease, accidents and cancer. In 2017, the leading cause of death was heart disease with 1,315 deaths, accounting for 21 percent of all deaths. In that same year, there were 330 accidental deaths, accounting for five percent of all deaths. Among the accidental deaths, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death at 32 percent published in the North Dakota State Health Department Improvement Implementation Plan for 2019 - 2021. According to the North Dakota Department of Health, traumatic injury remains a leading healthcare problem within the state of North Dakota. A scarce population spread over a large geographic area compounds the problem. Multiple traumas known as the most neglected disease of the decade. Trauma kills more people between the ages of 15 and 24 – more than all other causes combined. It is also the leading cause of death and disability for all age groups up to the age of 45, according to the Emergency Nurses Association. Our motto is, “Quality First.” We provide high-quality care in an ever-changing health care industry year after year because we live by our core values – which are Excellence in practice, Innovation in service, Compassion for the people we serve, and Respect for one another. Innovation in service is what we want to share with you today. Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC) course designed by nurses for nurses providing trauma care recently offered at WRHS. The 2-day course empowers nurses with core-level trauma knowledge, critical thinking skills, and hands-on training to provide expert care for trauma patients. The employees that completed the 4-year certification course: Barb Stadheim, RN; Audrey Skogen, BSN, RN; Tina Friebel, BSN, RN; Denna Wipf, BSN, RN; Natasha Besler, RN; Cathy Green, BSN, RN; Carrie Strand, BSN, RN; Debbie Bader, RN; Cindy Larson, RN; Danielle Alley, RN; and Dawn Stollar, RN. “Seventy-two percent of our staff is certified and soon all staff will be certified,” according to Susan Price, MS, RN, Chief Nursing Officer. West River Regional Medical Center is recognized as a Level IV Trauma Designation Center, certified through the North Dakota Department of Health. Level IV facilities are held to the same high standards as Level V in urban areas. Level I through V trauma centers must be able to accept and provide services to major trauma patients. North Dakota can designate out-of-state trauma centers if they are within 50 miles of the North Dakota border. North Dakota currently has five trauma levels: One Level I center, Six Level II centers, No Level III, Eight Level IV centers, and 30 Level V trauma centers, each one must seek renewal of the designation every one to three years.

Association supports Postal Service Funding National Newspaper Association today announced its support for urgent Congressional action to prevent slowing of the mail during the coronavirus pandemic. Matt Adelman, NNA president and publisher of the Douglas (Wyoming) Budget, said NNA would support a bill by House Democrats to prevent service cuts while the nation is in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic. The House of Representatives plans to vote this week on the Delivering for America Act, HR 8015. “NNA believes that, while cost controls for USPS are critical, the timing of cuts in service right now is unfortunate. We want to make clear that we normally do not invite Congressional action on postal operations, preferring to leave those decisions to the professionals at USPS. We also are working with our members and USPS to achieve greater efficiency in the mail and support

the efforts of the USPS Board of Governors as it tries to use the tools it has to keep mail affordable and reliable. “However, right now, our nation is deeply dependent upon the mail. Particularly in areas served by community newspapers, we are hearing alarming reports from our subscribers. Our readers need the information we are sending them. They also need their prescriptions, election ballots and other important mail. Today is not the day to hobble USPS in its mission to provide universal service to a country that needs to trust its government to deliver more than ever. We urge Congress and the Postal Service to take necessary steps to keep mail moving.” Adelman said NNA had urged Congressional action to stabilize USPS finances for more than a decade and would continue to support important measures to help USPS achieve fiscal sustainability.

Pastor’s Corner: Learning to Lament By Pastor David Werner

Lament is a form of prayer that is not often used or discussed. Lament psalms and prayers comprise about a third of the psalter and are earmarked by certain themes. Typically, biblical laments are a passionate expression of grief or sorrow. The psalmist who wrote the lament psalms cried out to God in times of extreme trouble or deep loss. Psalm 22 demonstrates the anguish and loneliness the author feels, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The purpose of biblical lament is threefold. Firstly, lament is used as a form of protest; a drawing of the reader’s or God’s attention to the wrong that the author sees. Second, lament is a way to process and vent emotions such as anger, distress, or frustration. Third, lament is a place to voice confusion in the form of questions, “how long, O LORD, why are you far from me, why have you allowed this to happen?”. For these, lament is an important part of prayer life. Nowhere is the importance of lament better illustrated than in the aptly named book of Lamentations. Lamentations follows the destruction and fall of Jerusalem caused by the

Babylonians. In the aftermath, the surviving remnant cries out in lament to God. Reading even a sampling of verses from Lamentations shows the pain and confusion the survivors of God’s chosen people feel. They feel abandoned and completely broken by God’s absence. In chapter 3, the author expounds on the pain the people feel but also expresses hope on God’s character. The author says, “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:21-23). Amid unimaginable sorrow, the author leans into the unchanging love of God, recalling his ever-renewed mercies and places hope on God’s faithfulness. In Lamentations, we see that God’s people are permitted and encouraged to lay all deep and raw emotions on Him who is able to shoulder them. Whatever our sorrow may be, as we learn to lament, we realize that God is big enough to handle our anger, hurt, and confusion. In our laments, he promises to show us new mercies daily, to strive with us in steadfast love, and to remain faithful always.
