National park goes birding Saturday

JANUARY 3, 2020

New Year starts with Bulldogs among region leaders

STAFF REPORT

heodore Roosevelt National Park is inviting birding enthusiasts of all abilities to participate in the nationwide Audubon Christmas Bird Count on Saturday, Jan. 4. The event is free. The annual Audubon event, now in its 120th year, is the world’s longest running citizen science event. Data collected during the count is used to track trends and the general health of bird populations and used to inform management decisions and scientific studies. National parks and other public lands play an important role in providing essential habitat for many bird species to winter, breed, and/ or stop to rest while migrating. Volunteer birders wishing to participate should meet at the South Unit Visitor Center at 8 a.m. MST. Before going out into the field, participants will be assigned to teams, which will sur vey areas by driving and walking to record bird sightings. Participants arriving later in the day

he Bulldogs enter 2020 with a winning record after being very uncharitable to visitors from New England on Dollars for Scholars night in Bowman. It was also a case of deja vu with Bounty County going 2-0 for the season against a regional rival. At the December 20th game the Bulldogs had an early lead over visiting New England, the Lady Bulldogs were able to cruise to a 55-44 win in the Dollars for Scholars game in the Bowman County gym. Thanks to freshman Ellie Powell (12 points) along with teammates Bailey Peterson (11 points) and Jill Svihovec (10 points), the Bulldogs had three players in double figure scoring and one (Abby Smyle) finishing one point shy of double digits. The quartet combined for 42 of the team's points. The Bulldogs jumped out to an early 13-5 lead over the visiting Tigers with six players leading the scoring attack in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Powell hit three baskets while Alexius Miller and Avrie Nohava each added three-pointers to power the hosts to a 2711 lead by halftime. In the third quarter, the Tigers rallied, outscoring their hosts by a 16-11 margin to close

the Bulldog lead to 3827 going into the final quarter. Both teams scored 17 points in the final quarter to give the Bulldogs their victory. Svihovec got six of her 10 points in the final eight minutes to help hold of the Tigers, while Smyle had five of her

nine. Miller finished with seven points, while Nohava had three – all in the second quarter in a single shot from outside the arc. Andrea Rodakowski had two points and Amy Jeffers finished with one. The Tigers were led in scoring by Shelley Kath-

rein, who got eight of her final 13 points in the final eight minutes when the visitors matched the Bulldogs point for point. Hadley Binstock and Molly Rayhorn each scored 10 points to close out the Tigers' double digit scoring. The Tigers also got three points from Lind-

say Koch, Grace Dinius, and Ellie Rettinger, while Hannah Frank added two points. The Bulldogs, now 3-2 for the season, will be on the road Jan. 9 when they visit Richardton-Taylor for a 7 p.m. game, but they will

Birding is a great outdoor family activity that people of all ages can enjoy for a lifetime.” The area covered by the count encompasses a 7½ mile radius around Medora, North Dakota; this will be the 42nd year for the Me-

dora Area Count. Over 65 different species have been sighted during these counts, including many that can only be found in the area during the winter. Birders should bring binoculars and field guides and should dress appropriately for the weather. Hot drinks will be offered at the visitor center.

9th Annual Precision Ag Summit set for January 20-21, 2020

Summit reminds farmers that

2020 US Census looking for census takers A

s the 2020 U.S. Census prepares to officially launch in March, recruiters are seeking more than 1,000 workers in cities and counties across North Dakota. Kevin Iverson, manager of the Census Office at the North Dakota Department of Commerce, said this is a way for individuals to take care of their community, demonstrate their civic and community leadership and earn decent wages in a position with

a lot of flexibility. “Many of these jobs are paying more than $18 an hour and you can name your own hours,” Iverson said. “Census takers will work in the field – often during evenings and weekends – to help the public complete the Census. It’s a great way to earn some extra money for a trip, a down payment, or just for necessities.” The average person could earn more than $2,880. Interested applicants need to visit ww-

w.2020Census.gov/jobs to apply. The Census anticipates significant field work between March and June, which is when many of the jobs would start. Each field operation lasts about eight weeks, and people can work multiple operations as long as work remains available. People are encouraged to apply early in order to ensure the Census can select enough employees and to allow time for background checks to be completed.

“The Constitution requires the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct a Census every 10 years, but the states and communities are the ones who really benefit,” Iverson said. “Every person we fail to count will cost the state of North Dakota more than $19,000 over the next 10 years. That is money we need for roads, emergency services, healthcare services, school, programs, etc. It’s really important, so check out the jobs.”

“Communities Coming Together” BY TED UECKER

WRHS Foundation

owman, Beach, Hettinger, Scranton -- oh my! Four communities coming together for the mutual goodness of youth sport, camaraderie and two local nonprofits. West River Health Services Foundation, the fundraising and development arm for West River Health Services, and the Sunrise Foundation, a nonprofit organization who helps numerous entities in the Greater Bowman Area, are partnering up for a “Giving Hearts Night With The NightHawks and BuccaDawgs Wrestling Programs.” On Tuesday, January 7th, 6:00pm, at the Roberts-Reinke Auditorium in Hettinger, two perennial powerhouse wrestling programs will

have their annual dual. Not only will the Varsity wrestlers have their annual Showdown at 7pm, but a team of Little Kid Wrestlers from each school’s co-op will be showing their passion for the sport starting at 6pm. 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 Dakota Bank. In fact, we want every fan to WEAR RED! After all, there will be a HUGE photo of all of the fans, wrestlers, coaches, stats and parents at the conclusion of the event. Plans are in the works for “FREE ADMISSION” for everyone! West River Health Services and one other business entity have agreed to cover the

cost of your entrance to the event, in hopes that each fan will consider a gift of $10 or more to either the WRHS Foundation or the Sunrise Foundation (or how about both?!). It is Christmas and New Year’s Season after all – what better time to give? As you enter the Roberts-Reinke Auditorium on Tuesday, January 7th, just prior to 6:00pm, you’ll be greeted by representatives from Sunrise and WRHS Foundations. They will present 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. 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. Once you enter the gymnasium, we hope you will enjoy the “SEA OF RED” Giving Hearts night decorations. Maybe you’ll want to participate in our “Live Auction” for two couches, located front and center, for all the amazing wrestling action. RZ Motors and Dacotah Community Bank have already placed $100 in Matching Funds toward each of the couches. The final winning NightHawks and BuccaDawg fans bids will enjoy front-row seating for this sensational gathering of community. The two nonprofit sponsors will split the grand total raised from this “couch auction” -- 50/50. Another sign of communities working together fairly for the good of everyone. So everyone is welcome to attend this event – FREE ADMISSION! You can’t go wrong by coming to this event. Come see the heart of our local youth (maybe your own sons or grandsons!) as they do their best for their school and their community. TOGETHER WE CAN create terrific events and enjoy each other’s company. One for all, all for one. Onward!

the future is already here

he future is already here at the ninth annual Precision Ag Summit scheduled for Jan. 20-21, 2020, at the North Dakota Farmers Union Conference Center in Jamestown. North Dakota Farmers Union, Praxis Strategy Group, The North Dakota State University Extension Service, Dakota Precision Ag Center, GK Technology and others are coordinating the event. Precision agriculture industry experts, producers, practitioners and technology developers will discuss data management and analytics, profitability of precision agriculture, precision planting and agricultural automation.

A panel of longtime practitioners of precision agriculture including John Nowatzki, agricultural machine systems specialist in the agricultural and biosystems engineering department at North Dakota State University, Lanny Faleide, Founder and President of Satshot, and Kelly Sharpe, Agronomist at GK Technology will discuss the current state of precision agriculture and the challenges that remain in realizing its full potential. Keynote speaker Terry Griffin, Associate Professor and Cropping Systems Economist at Kansas State Universi-

ty, will discuss the “The Return on Investment for Selected Precision Agriculture Technologies and Practices.” Griffin is a renowned expert on farmer’s utilization of precision ag technologies. The next generation of precision farming will be featured in presentations by Brian Carroll, Director of Emerging Prairie’s Grand Farm and Alex Meltnichouck, Digital Farming & Precision Ag Evangelist, from the Olds College Smart Farm in Calgary, Alberta. The future of farm connectivity will be discussed by Seth Arndorfer, CEO of DCN (Dakota Carrier Network) who was recently appointed to the FCC’s Precision Ag Task Force. The afternoon schedule on the first day includes sessions on various topics, such as preparing the next generation of agriculturalists, precision farm management, crop data management and postharvest precision technologies, including Bushel, which provides a digital infrastructure to connect and enhance the grain industry.

Playing in the Knights of Columbus Activity Center at Dickinson Trinity, the Bulldogs got off to a fast start, grabbing a 13-4 lead in the first quarter before the Raiders rallied to close the gap to 17-11 by the end of the period. The two teams each added 22 points in the second quarter, giving the Bulldogs a narrow 33-29 lead at the half. The Raiders had cut the lead to just one point (20-19) with 5:23 left before Jacob Svihovec turned a basket and free throw into a threepoint play and started a nine-point run over a two-minute span in the second quarter. Svihovec finished as the game's high scorer with 23 points and
