Fossils are big in western North Dakota. Also South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. So big that even a national television network has brought even more attention with a three-episode series which will be concluding July 1 on PBS. Prehistoric Road Trip started June 17, broadcasting an opening episode titled “Welcome to

Obituaries.....................2 Pastor’s Corner.............3 Letters to the Editor......3 Classifieds.................4-5

Fossil Country” with a look at the area encompassing the western edges of the Dakotas and Nebraska, as well as the eastern area of Montana and Wyoming. As the first episode described it, the series started by looking at billions of years of history while also looking at science and culture. In the three-part series, Emily Graslie covers three different periods and the remnants or fossils they left behind. The series is a production of WTTW in Chicago. Graslie was the writer and executive producer, as well as the host. She also is a South Dakota native and works at the Field Museum in Chicago. The second episode (which broadcast June 24) is titled “We Dig Dinosaurs,” while the third episode is called “Tiny Teeth, Fearsome Beasts” (broadcasting July 1). Over the three episodes, Graslie visits dozens of archaeological digs. She walks through eons of history from the PreCambrian and Paleozoic, through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic to present day. “We’ll travel through billions of years of Earth’s geological timeline,” she explained as the first episode began, “Each stop telling us more about how we got to where we are now.” She also promised to reveal some of the amazing wonders beneath people’s feet that are still hidden from view. The first episode takes the viewers through South Dakota, Wyoming and into Montana. One of the places the crew visited behind the scenes was the Pioneer Trails Regional Mu-

The Dakota Western Bank branch at Second Street and South Main Street was evacuated June 18 when strong winds caused a branch to fall and create an electric problem for the bank. Four units from the Bowman Fire Department responded, along with ambulance and police units. The incident happened in the early afternoon.

Bank evacuated after winds cause electric outage

Staff Report

The Dakota Western Bank in Bowman was evacuated and closed Thursday, afternoon for several hours after strong winds caused an electrical short. The Bowman Fire Department responded with four units, according to Chief Chad Welch, while ambulances and police and sheriff units also arrived on the scene. The page went out originally as a structure fire, prompting the ambulance response, Welch explained. “Anytime there is a structure fire, the ambulance comes automatically.” The winds broke a tree branch near the bank shortly before 2 p.m. It fell on the power lines close to the bank, the chief said. “Then it shorted out the transformer. “They (the bank) were out of power for a while. We did have trucks stand by while the MDU crew out of Dickinson had to come down and replace the transformer, There was sparking, so we sat there to be sure the public wasn’t in danger. “It (the falling branch) blew the line fuse and ended up taking out the transformer also. It shorted between the two lines,” the chief explained.

seum in Bowman, a regional repository for history from within 100 miles of the community. According to museum officials, it also studies, collects and curates vertebrates, invertebrates and plants from 73 million years old marine deposits up to the youngest deposits of the area, which are 28 million years old. Some of the animals that have been found are mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, dinosaurs and early mammals that include camels, rhinoceroses, horses, and giant pigs. The demise of the dinosaurs and the changes in local paleoenvironments are just a couple of areas in which the Paleontology Department has been researching over the past decade. This research is conducted in the rugged landscapes along the Little Missouri Badlands drainage in southwestern North Dakota. The museum reopened in mid-May, after closing in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The museum staff is still asking visitors to practice social distancing and keep groups to ten or less. The museum is continuing to go through some additions to their displays and will be continuing to add to them throughout the summer, according to the staff.’ In addition to a large fossil display, including a triceratops, the museum has a regional focus on the history of the area. The museum is on a summer schedule, open Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Staff Report

It was perfect weather Saturday for a motorcycle ride on the two-lane highways of both North and South Dakota. It just got a little wet towards the end as a series of storms moved through the region. The Nick Johnson Memorial Run started in Bowman and went through Scranton before heading south. The group cruised through the South Dakota towns of Reva, Buffalo and Ludlow before heading back into North Dakota and Rhame. The participants paid $20, of which 75 percent goes to the Rhame Fire Department Memorial Fund, according to the organizers. The other 25 percent went to the group’s Poker Run, according to Ethan Seifert. At each stop, the group drew a card. Seifert had hoped for good weather for the Nick Johnson Memorial Run, and he got that for most of the ride but when the motorcyclists returned to Rhame and Bowman they had to deal with rain and wet roads. The group left Windy’s Bar and Pizza in Bowman Saturday morning on schedule.

Pastors Corner: Who Cares?

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The North Dakota Emergency Commission is responsible for allocating the $1.25 billions dollars in CARE Act Funds the state received. These funds are intended to help families, workers, small businesses, and to preserve jobs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor and five other male elected officials make-up the Emergency Commission. Together, they alone are deciding for everyone how to allocate the federal dollars coming to the state through the CARES Act (and possible future funds). One has to ask, where are the women? When elected officials more closely represent the electorate, policy discussions and outcomes are better. We need a leadership team more representative of the people in the state as we decide what to do with over a billion

dollars in funds. The North Dakota Women’s Network supports calling a special session of the state legislature to address the many needs we are facing as a result of COVID-19. Additional voices will ensure fair and equitable allocation of the federal dollars for education, health care, small business, and other important needs. While the ND legislature is only 21% female it brings more balance then the Emergency Commission with 0% representation. The Governor has made inclusion a pillar of his administration. I encourage him to make it a part of these critical discussions so that all our voices can be heard on how to best ensure a strong future for our state as we recover from the effects of this pandemic. Kristie Wolff North Dakota Women’s Network

Dear Editor, Last year in July I attended the City Commissioners meeting to discuss my thoughts on the current fireworks ordinance. The commissioners and I have been working together throughout the year to get the public’s opinion on this subject. I approached the commissioners with the following proposed ordinance in place of the current one: •June 30 - July 2 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. (3 days for 8 hours a day) •July 3 - July 4 from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. (2 days for 12 hours a day) •Total days: 5 Reasons for proposed ordinance: 1. The people: 1. People with dementia/long-term care patients 2. People with PTSD 3. People with autism or other disabilities 4. Newborns/children 5. The working adult •For the people listed in 4-5, it is an inconvenience and annoyance. For the people listed in 1-3, it can be torturous. People in long-term care are held hostage and unable to leave or escape the fireworks. •I am not saying all people listed above fear the ignition of fireworks. 2. Animals: Even though some people can take their animals who fear fireworks to a place where there are none, such as camping, not everyone is able

to do this. 3. Dangerous: 1. Fire risk 2. Injuries This ordinance would be replacing the current one: •June 28 - July 2 from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. •July 3 - July 4 from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. •Total days: 7 I believe that limiting the amount of days would make it more manageable for some to escape or deal with the ignition of fireworks. I am appealing to the compassion that each of us have for people who experience situations differently from ourselves. Not everybody who dislikes them is because they cut into their sleep. For some it is deeper than that, a true fear. A loud boom that can send a war veteran, like my grandpa, back to World War II. Another loud boom that can send a dog or horse through a fence and injure them so badly they require medical attention, or worse, killed from the injuries. And another louder boom that frightens a long-term care patient so badly they shoot out of bed, fall, and become injured. Please join the commissioners and me for open discussion on this topic July 7, 2020 at 4 p.m. at the City Hall to have your voice heard. If you are unable to attend but would like to share your thoughts, please feel free to email me at mariah. lockert@gmail.com. Sincerely, Mariah Botha

By Ed Kvaale

Compassion fatigue is something all people struggle with at times and it is something that caregivers when they struggle with can feel even worse about because they feel guilty that they are not doing enough when in reality they are. Feelings of loneliness, despair, uncertainty, hopelessness was rife within our society even before the pandemic shut everything down, and it certainly was and is amplified even more through

our social distancing despite our wonderful communication technology which both helps and hurts us. Where do we turn when we feel this way? To what do you cling? Have you a rock, a foundation, a certainty, a hope? These are days that well reveal that in each of our lives. If you have found nothing to which to cling, if you have no friend or relative or neighbor to depend upon, if you find the present and all your future shrouded in gloom and foreboding, you are not alone! Humanity has been struggling with this concept since we decided to go our own way in Eden, thinking we knew better than our Creator on how to manage our lives. Thankfully, though we are not alone even when we feel like we are. Romans 8:38-39 says “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor

anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.� God cares for the minutest detail of our lives. He has numbered the hairs on our heads and written our days in His book before ever we came into being! We do not have to live life alone, He’s always there, ready, waiting, we just need to turn to Him. He knows what is best for us, where we’re going and where we’ve been. You don’t need to worry about anything, but you do have to trust, even if the road gets dark or twisty, He has promised to lead us faithfully through it all! Today is the day to put your faith or renew your that Jesus cares for us even if others or ourselves do not seem to care as much. I am so thankful that I do not have to do it all. Jesus cares for me and you even when I let people down. Jesus is waiting for us and cares so deeply. Let us come to Him and receive that care.

We were thrilled to have participation from different age groups and locations,” said Shelby Kinkade, Project Coordinator at Bowman County Development Corporation. The Community Challenge was created by Bowman County Development Corporation and funded by the Bowman Tax and Tourism committee. Both organizations are hopeful to host another challenge in 2021. Brosz Engineering, Inc. was awarded $10,000 and will secure the rest of their funding through sponsorships. Do you have a great idea to create your community? Keep an eye out in 2021!

Bowman voters beat state percentage

Slightly more than 27 percent of eligible voters in the North Dakota ended up casting ballots in the June 9 election. According to final results from vote.nd.gov, 158,824 people voted out of the 581,379 eligible voters. In Bowman County, 36 percent (850) ballots were cast out of 2,321 eligible voters. In the county race, Rick Braaten, Jerry Jeffers and Pine Abrahamson took the three spots for County Commissioners. In the city races, Lyn James got 327 out of 340 total votes to win the election for commission president. In the race for two commissioners seats, Myron Vail got 381 votes (52.48%) and Ryan Shear finished with 340 votes (46.83%). In the vote over publication of the City Governing Body Minutes, 376 voters (93.30 %) approved of the measure. In the school results, Trevor Kulseth picked up 99.14 percent of the 694 votes for the school board representative for Bowman on the ballot. In the race for two seats as the Rhame area school board representatives, it was Amy Fischer edging Andrea Bowman, with winning the spots. Fischer had 654 votes, while Bowman finished with 619 votes.

The North Dakota Emergency Commission voted unanimously June 18 to direct over $406 million in federal funding to the state’s COVID-19 response and recovery efforts, with the majority of the money again going to support economic recovery. North Dakota received $1.25 billion from the Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed. The $406.1 million approved on Thursday follows the commission’s vote in May to use $524.2 million in Coronavirus Relief Fund dollars, bringing the total used to roughly $930 million and leaving $320 million available. The six-member Emergency Commission consists of four legislative leaders – House Majority Leader Chet Pollert of Carrington, Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner of Dickinson, House Appropriations Chairman Jeff Delzer of Underwood and Senate Appropriations Chairman Ray Holmberg of Grand Forks – along with Secretary of State Al Jaeger and Burgum as chairman. Burgum thanked legislators for their strong collaboration and input and also expressed his appreciation for North Dakota citizens who, by practicing individual responsibility and social distancing to slow the spread of coronavirus and reduce health care impacts, allowed the commission to direct 75 percent of the federal monies toward economic support. The $406.1 million includes $200 million to support the state’s Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, on top of the $110 million allocated last month to keep the fund solvent. Nearly $113 million will be used to provide economic support for businesses, including $69 million for the new North Dakota Economic Resiliency Grant Program. The program will provide grants of up to $50,000 per business for investments in protective equipment, supplies and

other improvements to reduce contact and attract customers and employees, promoting a safe return to the marketplace and improving consumer confidence. The Department of Commerce will be releasing more details about the program, pending Budget Section approval. Commissioners also approved $33 million for an orphan well plugging and site reclamation program that is projected to maintain 300 to 550 oil and gas service sector jobs as the industry continues to recover. More than $61 million will go toward continuation of government services, including telework, cybersecurity, transition to digital services and personal protective equipment. The remaining $32 million of the $406.1 million will support public health and safety efforts. The funding includes a total of nearly $4 million for cities, counties and park districts. In other action, commission members approved $2.1 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funding through the CARES Act to support the North Dakota Department of Human Services’ COVID Emergency Rent Bridge program, which provides temporary rental assistance to eligible renters who are experiencing a loss of household income due to COVID-19. The state Department of Health also was authorized to receive $17.7 million from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to support epidemiology and lab functions to help contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In total, North Dakota has received $4.7 billion in COVID-19-related federal funding, including the $1.25 billion in Coronavirus Relief Funds, $1.9 billion in Small Business Administration funding to support businesses, $946 million from the Federal Reserve for direct assistance to individuals and families, and about $600 million from other federal programs.

The 2019-2020 junior high rodeo season was one everyone will never forget. The season started out with fall rodeos in Ray, Richardton, and Watford City. Each of these communities held two junior high rodeos, for a total of six fall rodeos. The spring rodeos unfortunately did not happen because of the COVID crisis. These rodeos were to be held in Valley City, Fargo, and the State Finals in Bowman. Along with the cancellation of the spring rodeos, the National Junior High Rodeo Finals to be held in Des Moines, IA where the top four of each event qualify to compete, was also cancelled. It was voted by the North Dakota Junior High Rodeo Board, to still go ahead and award the top four finishers in the state based on the fall rodeos that they competed in. On June 3, a virtual awards ceremony was held celebrating their accomplishments. Below are the members of the Bowman Rodeo Club that ended up in the top four of the state. We are very proud of the hard work that these kids put in throughout their season. We have a very talented group of rodeo athletes coming up through the ranks. We look forward to hopefully getting rodeo back to normal this fall with the first junior high rodeo scheduled for August 8-9 in Bismarck, ND.

Local golfers plan for busy July at Sweetwater Golf Course

Local golfers will be busy in July at the Sweetwater Golf Course, just south of Bowman. The first tournament will be July 11, according to Chad Welch. “We are going to turn the course into a Par-3 Course and every hole will be a Par-3,” he explained. “It is going to be a fun little tournament with a two-person scramble.” The course will be holding a three-person scramble on July 17 and 18. “That one is handicapped so it should be a pretty fun tournament.”
