The Slope County Courthouse in Amidon has been invaded by a green gang from the famous children’s author.

But they will be gone soon, according to the county's Kris Jacobson, the Clerk of Court Recorder.

They will be gone shortly after Christmas, Jacobson explained.

“Putting it up was fun and people like it,” she explained, noting some of the people in the county building really got into “Grinch-ifying”

armarth Public School is the only active school in Slope County.

In the county seat, the Amidon School is in the final stages of a dissolution process after not having any students for the past two years.

According to the county's school board, the Amidon School will be put up for a closed bid sale in the spring of 2020.

In a meeting Dec. 17, the board decided to move ahead with the sale of the school property, which will leave Marmarth Public School as the only active school in the county with an enrollment of 14 students and four in preschool.

Amidon will soon

be joining other Slope County schools which have closed down over the years in surrounding townships.

It will join Moord.

Sand Creek, Chalky Butte and Bullion View, among the others, which will exist only in historical documents and photos, along with fading country school memories.

White Lake School is now located on the Slope County Fairgrounds and the former Conner School buildings are on the Central Elementary School property in Amidon and will be sold with the property in the spring.

According to the school board, the Amidon school did not have any students for the 2018-2019 school year, with those eligible attending other schools in New England, Scranton, Bowman and one in

the northwestern corner of the county attending school in Golva.

The board has been left with no other option then to sell the property after a year of trying to find ways to be able to use the school for the community, according to board mem-

ber, Shelby Hewson.

Before it is ready to be sold, there will be a silent auction to give people a chance to take home some of their memories, Hewson, who is also the county's NDSU extension agent, said. “We want to be sure everybody has

the opportunity to purchase sentimental items, if desired. For example, the old library books – with most of the library furnished from books acquired from previously closed Slope County

n School Continued from Page A1 schools – some locals might remember checking out a book when they attended grade school at Sand Creek, etc. That is why we will hold the silent auction for the items before the sale of the property,� she said.

The closure was something which was determined by the fact that we no longer had students enrolled. Many of the families with children have parents who work in the surrounding communities, Hewson explained. “Since we were not able to offer a school bus for Central Elementary, the children would ride to town with their parents, or a neighboring school district’s bus would pick them up.� “If parents work 8 to 5, they couldn’t make it to Amidon to pick up their kids at 3:30. In addition, there is no daycare in Amidon, so that was a limiting factor as well.� Hewson explained.

The board tried a number of ideas to transform the school. “We talked about pre-kindergarten programs (Early Childhood Education), but discovered we did not meet the qualifications.â€? “We tried everything, but nothing worked in our favor‌â€? she said.

The closed bid sale would include the property and the buildings located on the property, and will be held after the community has the silent auction, Hewson added.

Marmarth has had a school since 1909 with both an elementary and high school, but the high school closed decades ago.

According to the County Superintendent of Schools Jackie Kathrein, it is a sign of the changing times.

Even the paperwork involved in dissolution has been very time consuming, she explained after the Dec. 17 meeting in the county courtroom ended. “We have started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped,� she said. “We started in August of 2018 and it has taken awhile.�

The county superintendent also splits time between her duties in Amidon and visiting the Marmarth campus every week. The school day is now an hour longer in Marmarth, now that the school has adopted a fourday schedule.

According to the Kathrein, the county and school board has to follow certain requirements before it is able to sell the school property. “We will probably have a few more bookkeeping meetings before selling the property in a closed bid. They are going to have to get together to decide what thy want in the closed bid.

They are going to have to set dates for how long they will accept the bids. Then they'll have to meet to go through the bids and decide which they are going to accept.�

In addition, there are still bills to pay at the school, such as electricity and water, she added. “Those things are still on over at the school.

Nothing has been shut off,� she said, noting it was hibernating. “We have the temperature set at 55 de-

grees. My dad did that on our farm and it works.�

The superintendent said the campus went through a thorough cleaning during the summer to help prepare for the closure. “What is there now is what we are going to try and sell,� she added. “In the library, we have books from way back in the 1900s. We have books that were over in Pearl and Rainy Butte. Each township, at one time, had its own school district. Amidon, I think it was 1914 when the school opened. It was a one-room school. The school now sits on what was Elmer Ward's property. It was a little school that sat across the fairgrounds from here.

It was part of Sand Creek School District number 2 and it was huge,� she recalled.

Some of the items found in the school have already been moved to the courthouse, like old trophies. “I think Amidon used to have a really good basketball team and a good baseball team,� the superintendent said.

In 1919, a high school had been built just west of the city. “That burnt down in 1939,� she said. In the 1960s, Conner, White Lake, Bullion View, Sand Creek and Amidon were organized into the Central Elementary School District. “Then, there was one board and they hired teachers for all the little schools.�

By the mid-1980s, the other schools were closed, except for Amidon and Marmarth.

Now, Amidon's school will join the rest of the county's closed schools, leaving Marmarth alone in Slope County.

Dakota Datebook

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: A Man and His Horse Dakota Datebook written

by Merry Helm December 23, 2019 — Some Christmases take on a completely different meaning than others. It was like that a year ago today outside a Mandan hospital.

Jim Tescher, one of the state’s greatest rodeo champs, was from Sentinel Butte, the middle child of 15 kids. He grew up during the depression, began his rodeo career at age 16 and went on to capture some of the nation’s highest honors, including the 1955 steer wrestling title at Madison Square Garden.

In August 2003, 74 year-old Tescher had a four-wheeler accident

that put him in a Mandan hospital. A broken neck left him partially paralyzed – a tough break for a very tough cowboy.

Tescher’s wife, Loretta, and their five children rallied around him. Jim and Loretta were prom dates in 1946 and had been married for 56 years. Jim’s niece, Rebecca Tescher Robison, wrote that Loretta “wiped his tears and soothed his heart as her own was breaking. A lifetime of love and laughter, ranching, rodeoing, children, card playing and dancing was drawing down.”

After five months in the hospital, Tescher was hoping to at least get into a wheelchair so he could go home to his ranch. He want-

ed to see his horses, In late December, Loretta got together with daughter Bonnie and Tescher’s nurse to help their favorite cowboy realize one of his dreams. On December 23, Tescher was settled into a wheelchair, and Loretta rolled him down the hall and out the door. From behind a tree, Bonnie emerged with a quarter horse gelding named Bonner. He was Jim’s favorite horse; he had raised him from a colt and over the next 20 or so years, he came to depend on Bonner for his hardest ranch jobs. Bonnie had brought the horse in

3

from Sentinel Butte to see his master.

Tescher’s sister, Dona Lowman, said that Bonner recognized Jim right away.

“The bond was still there even after dad being gone for four or five months,” said Jim’s son, Troy.

Tescher clicked his tongue, and Bonner came to him and nuzzled his face and touched his nose to Tescher’s. One of the toughest cowboys North Dakota has ever produced said, “This is the best Christmas present I’ve ever had,” and started to cry.

Tescher passed away

just four days later. After his funeral, Bonner trailed riderless behind the hearse as it climbed the rugged buttes to the Medora Cemetery.

His four white stockings matched the snow-blanketed hillsides, and he was wearing the saddle Tescher won at the Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1966.

The weather dipped below zero as Tescher’s friends and fellow cowboys carried his casket to his final resting place. As the people moved away, bronco champion Brad Gjermundson led Bonner to Jim’s grave-side to say goodbye. The cedar

casket was branded with Tescher’s brands, and on top was a spray of Badlands cedar, prairie trimmings, Jim’s worn boots, his spurs and a rope.

Jim’s brother-in-law, Jim Lowman, recalled a prayer that Tescher taught him 30 years earlier, when he first started working for the cowboy: “Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love, commits me here. Ever this day, be at my side, to light and guard and rule and guide.”

recruit and keep doctors and other medical personnel, he explained. One thing that would be offered would be similar to a signing bonus for people who come to the participating medical facilities in the region.

When people enter the auditorium, they will be given their Giving Hearts Night offers (including discounts for products at RZ Motors, Peacock Mercantile, and more), if you consider giving a few dollars to their nonprofit’s cause.

“By giving $10 or more,

you’ll be entered into numerous drawings for sensational gifts from local businesses. For gifts of $100 or more to the WRHS Foundation, you’ll receive a Giving Hearts Day t-shirt. The WRHS Foundation is shooting to raise funds for their all-important “Physician Recruitment Endowment Fund,” where once they reach their ultimate goal of $400,000; they will have $20,000 in interest each year thereafter for new physician signing bonuses, forgiveness of new physician student loans,

or supporting our “Ambassador Program” to fly in more experienced physicians to visit with Resident Physicians about practicing medicine in the Greater Hettinger Area,” Uecker explained.

Currently, the WRHS Foundation has raised over $150,000 for Physician Recruitment Endowment. The Sunrise Foundation’s Giving Hearts Day effort is for healthcare scholarships and loan repayments for area students and staff pursuing a career in healthcare.

Wrestling night seen as a solution to regional health care problem L

ocal health care in rural North Dakota is wrestling with a severe problem... how to attract and keep doctors that would keep the medical facilities fully staffed.

According to Ted Uecker, the director of the West River Health Service Foundation, wrestling itself may also be the answer.

The foundation is joining forces with The Giving Heart for a charity fundraiser to help establish an endowment.

At the center of the Jan. 7 “Giving Hearts Night” fundraiser at the Roberts-Reinke Auditorium in Hettinger, will be a wrestling extravaganza, which will combine the Buccadawgs and Night Hawks youth wrestling programs from throughout the region and an annual dual competition by high school rivals Bowman County and Hettinger. The junior portion of the competition will start at 6 p.m., followed by the varsity matches at 7 p.m.

“A team of Little Kid Wrestlers from each school’s co-op will be showing their passion for the sport,” Uecker said about the smaller wrestlers. “Every wrestler, coach and statistician from both teams will be wearing Giving Hearts Day t-shirts via sponsorships from our terrific partners at Dakota Western Bank, Dakota Community Bank, and Dacotah Bank.

“In fact, we want every fan to wear red. There will be a huge photo of all of the fans, wrestlers, coaches, stats and parents at the conclusion of the event, “ Uecker added. In addition, the auditorium itself will be decorated with hearts, even on the mats.

The West River Health Service and Sunrise foundations have arranged for free admittance to the event, but will also be asking for people to help fund an endowment which would help keep local medical facilities fully staffed with doctors.

According to Uecker, the area is straining to meet the health needs of people in the region. Once the endowment is fully funded, it would help

the statewide effort, called the Sign Warrior program, that encourages kids to convince adults that they shouldn’t vandalize signs.

The Game and Fish Department, through its hunter education program, has joined the effort in educating young hunters of the dangers of shooting at road and other signs.

Heglund said in the article that it’s unlikely the vandals who shoot and damage signs think about those they are putting at risk.

“They don’t realize that when a sign is shot, motorists don’t get that bounceback of light needed at night to read a sign correctly and get the message it’s trying to deliver,” Heglund said.

“And when that’s the case, bad things can happen.”

John Mazur, Game and Fish Department hunter education coordinator, said when Heglund approached him about the sign initiative, he thought it was the perfect opportunity to reinforce something hunter

education volunteers have been teaching students.

“As far as Game and Fish is concerned and hunting is concerned, we have both a direct and an indirect impact from people shooting signs,” Mazur said. “Of course, we have our own signage, like PLOTS and WMA signs, and when those get shot up, we have to replace them.

“But there’s also that indirect impact because of what’s associated with it when a sign gets shot, especially out in the country,” he added. “People say that a hunter did it.

Well, we don’t want

that message to be out there, because it’s not a hunter at that point when they’re shooting signs. They are vandals.”

Plus, those people pulling the trigger are breaking the law.

“When we hold up a shot-up sign in class and we ask the kids who did this, the first thing they say is that it was shot by a hunter,” Mazur said. “No. No. No. That’s our answer. We need to separate from that, and this sign initiative goes great with the message we want to send forward because our image to the public, especially the nonhunting

public, is very important.”

Heglund said sign vandalism isn’t something that has reared its ugly head just of late. People were damaging signs nearly 100 years ago when a roadway network was being developed across the country.

“Our effort now is to really drive home the point that it’s somebody in our neighborhood that is doing the damage,” Heglund said. “Let’s put an end to this because if we don’t see a sign and we miss the message, we run the risk of not making it home safe that night.”

Trinity holds off Bulldogs A

fourth quarter rally by Dickinson Trinity allowed the Titans to win a 55-47 victor y over Bowman County in the title match of the Roughrider basketball tournament Saturday.

Trinity had gone into the half with a 29-22 lead over the Bulldogs, but Bowman County came out in the third quarter and held the hosts to just four points to take a 38-33 lead.

But cold shooting, fouls and turnovers helped the Titans come back in the final quarter to outscore Bowman County by a 22-9 margin and pull out the win.

In the final quarter, Bowman County got just three field goals and three free throws,

while the hosts had five baskets and 10 (of 16) free throws for the win.

Tanner Soehren of Trinity was the high scorer in the game with 16 points, while teammate Matthew Stafford was the only other Titan scorer in double figures.

Bowman County was led by Caleb Duffield (15 points) and Jacob Svihovec was held to 11 points. Jaxson Fischer and Clay Heimer each added six points for the Bulldogs, while Matt Osendorf scored four.

The Bulldogs placed two players on the all-tournament team – Duffield and Svihovec.

Also on the all-tourney team were Caleb Candrian (Mott-Regent), Cole Fitterer ( Trinity), Daylon Danks (Killdeer), Jeran Ander-

son (Hettinger-Scranton), Warrick Dilse (Hettinger-Scranton), Jake Daniels ( Trinity), Soehren ( Trinity), Stafford ( Trinity), Lane Chruzsch (Heart River), and Gabe Sorenson (New England).

The Bulldogs made it to the finals after beating Richardton-Taylor (77-57) and New England (69-50).

The loss to Trinity dropped the Bulldogs to 2-1 in the tournament and for the season as they prepare for a visit by Hazen Dec. 27 to Bowman. The Bison will be coming with an identical 2-1 season mark following wins over Glen Ullin/Hebron (70-44) and Garrison (52-48) after opening the season with a 77-75 loss to Bishop Ryan.

December 18, 2019 A public hearing on the application in Case No. PU-19-294 is scheduled for February 6, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time (9:00 a.m. Mountain Time) at Bowman Lodge & Convention Center, 207 West Highway 12, Bowman, ND 58623. On August 8, 2019, Denbury Green Pipeline-Montana, L.L.C. filed a consolidated application for a corridor certificate and route permit for the location

of a carbon dioxide pipeline, approximately 9.23 miles long with approximately 2.29 miles located in Slope County, North Dakota, and 6.94 miles located in Bowman County, North Dakota.

On August 19, 2019, Denbury Green Pipeline - North Dakota, L.L.C., joined the consolidated application. The pipeline location is shown on the attached map.

The issues in the combined application for a certificate of

corridor compatibility and a route permit are: 1. Will construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility at the proposed location produce minimal adverse effects on the environment and upon the welfare of the citizens of North Dakota?

2. Is the proposed facility compatible with the environmental preservation and the efficient use of resources?

3. Will construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility at the proposed location minimize adverse human and environmental impact while ensuring continuing system reliability and integrity and ensuring that energy needs are met and fulfilled in an orderly and timely fashion?
