Local census officials use free hot dogs to add numbers

Staﬀ Report

There were free hot dogs served in front of Bronson’s Marketplace July 21 in an effort to get more people to fill out their census forms. The Census officials were staged just east of the entrance to the store, with an area set up to fill out census information to one side and a grill with the free hot dogs nearby. “We’ve had ten people come through so far and have served that many hot dogs,” said Shelby Kinkade, one of the project coordinators at the Bowman office. The goal was to draw about 30 or 40 people by the time it ended three hours later, with the free hot dogs being the biggest draw. The community of Bowman has been doing pretty well responding to the census so far, she explained. “We are right below the national average. We are hoping that this will pick us up and put us right on track,” she said. The free hot dog event

was just one of the things which been planned, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most had to be canceled. This is kind of our last big event. July 31 is the last day we can fill it out (in person),” she said. The census office is located in the economic development office in Bowman and open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. There has been an extension to take census information online until Oct. 31, according to the census officials. “The census has sent out codes in the mail. If they still have that, it will make it a little simpler to fill out the census. If not, you can still go online and fill it out that way,” she added. “Even if they have moved, it just matters where they were April 1. It only takes about 10 minutes to fill out,” she added. One of the next stages would be to send out census takers to visit addresses to try to complete the process as much as possible.

Austin Wanner of Bowman easily won the 5-kilometer Stride run July 23. The event was sponsored by the Bowman Lions Club as part of the Lions for Diabetes Awareness program. The run started at the Lions shelter north of the baseball field and did one lap around the field before heading north. Wanner was alone for most of the race, finishing the 3.1-mile run in 19 minutes 14 seconds.

Hazel Ellen Tharp

The Marmarth community came out in force Sunday when a fundraiser was held to help defray the medical costs incurred by the Tharp family with a premature birth and a long hospital stay. There were Indian tacos on the menu, but the big draw was the silent and live auction which filled up the community center which lined the walls of the building. Josie and Kasey Tharp went to Denver from early April for examination, with Josie being admitted April 14. She stayed in the hospital for 79 before delivering Hazel prematurely at 36 weeks and six days. Hazel Ellen Tharp was born July 1 at 8:47 a.m., weighing 4 pounds, 14 ounces. She was 18 inches long. Hazel remained in the hospital for ten days,

receiving oxygen for 24 hours after her birth. It wasn’t until July 10 that Josie, Kasey and Helen were able to return to Marmarth. The community responded with a benefit that raised thousands of dollars from the auction and the meal, which was also served up curbside for people not coming into the building. The community got donations ranging from a large grandfather clock that doubled as a gun safe, a cooler filled with meat, furniture, and several types of lamps and gift baskets. According to organizers, more than 60 people were served Indian tacos in the first half hour of the benefit. There was also a raffle, which was described as “going awesome” early in Sunday’s benefit. The benefit also posted some pictures of the new arrival and her family, along with a brief history of the story surrounding her birth.

Obituary

Pastor’s Corner:

Samuel Thomas Keirle, 25

we come across different life situations that can complicate everything that we do! Just normal everyday things and now that we add on what our world, our country, our state and our county are trying to do it makes life that much more complicated! Schools, colleges and universities are considering how they are going to have classes and even our churches are doing ministry in ways that most of us have never considered before. Life seems to be in a constant turmoil these days and yet I am here to remind you that through all that is going on around us…God is still in control! In James 1:2 it says, “My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!” (TPT) Even in difficult times we can still retain the joy of the Lord! Notice I didn’t say that we would enjoy those difficult times but it does help us to see that no matter how complicated our lives can become…we can experience the greatest joy and that is in knowing God is in control! We sometimes talk about how difficult and complicated our lives can be but we need to understand that God is there with

This is a love letter to our Sam: December 9, 1994, Samuel Thomas Keirle came bouncing into the world at a healthy 9 pds. 12oz. in Billings, MT. He was a man of the world - living and growing up in many places; Kalispell, Billings, Bowman, Baker, St. Paul, (the Johnny Cash song comes to mind, “I’ve been everywhere, Man,”) and he left good friends in every one of these places. He was a good

friend himself and would help anyone who needed it, but beware of his practical jokes! He loved his family (and, defended them fiercely,) animals, Harleys, and had met his person, the love of his life, Caitlin. He was finally able to plan for the future because he had found someone who was as loyal as he was! He was happy! Sammy left this world, doing what he loved best, riding a Hog. Thursday, July 16, he was on his way home from work in Kalispell when he collided with a deer. Sam’s choice of profession was cooking. He was the head chef at “The Sitting Duck” in Kalispell at the time of his death. Missing him already and forever are; his one, Caitlin McDonald, Kalispell; his mother, Danielle Keirle Butori (Dale) and his sister, Madison Myla, Baker; his father, Dean Howe, Kalispell; his brother, Brandon Hegg (Kristin), St. Paul; his grandparents; Granny Jae,

Bowman (his partner in crime), Grandma Mae, Kalispell, and Grandma Mary (George) and Grandpa Carter (Lori), Dillon. Sam also had so many fraternal and maternal uncles, aunts, and cousins that it’s hard to list them all, but they were in his heart. This is also true for the people who preceded him in death; his Grampas Thomas, Orville, and Dean, and again, too many others to list. He also was preceded by his little furry friends; Sharmae, Chewy, Izzy, and Karl. Cremation will take place and there will be no public services. We will celebrate him privately at later dates. We love you, Sommers, and will NEVER forget you...you were such a force in all our lives! You left a huge hole in our hearts, which will never be filled again! Rest peacefully and know you were loved by so many! See you on the other side! Please, anyone reading this... wear your helmets!

Gary Allen Bruce, 83

Gary Allen Bruce, 83, of Baker, MT passed away with his children by his side on July 21, 2020 at Riverstone Hospice in Billings, MT after a short illness. Gary was born on July 5, 1937 to Maynard and Martha (Schnaible) Bruce in Baker. He grew up on a farm south of Baker and graduated from Bak-

er High School in 1955. After graduation, he worked for Randash Motors in Baker for three years, and then spent a year in Nebraska roughnecking. Gary returned to Baker and worked for Marion Hartse for 11 years before starting his own construction business, “Bruce Ditching”. It was during this time he met the love of his life, Ruby Burkle. They were married on Nov. 6, 1970 in Plevna, MT, and were blessed with two children, Lori and Troy. Gary and Ruby were married nearly 50 years before Ruby passed away unexpectedly on May 5, 2020. Gary was a diligent and strong man who worked very hard to provide for his family and build his business, even up to his passing, he was concerned about his loyal customers. He worked for many area farmers and ranchers trenching waterlines and doing backhoe work. In the winters,

you would find him plowing snow for many people in Baker, or in his shop working on a project. He was the best at what he did, and his equipment was simply an extension of his hands. He will be missed beyond words, as he was truly one of a kind. Gary also liked visiting and never passed up a cup of coffee with friends or family. Gary is survived by his daughter Lori (Bill) Kesinger of Baker; son Troy (Amy) Bruce of Billings; and grandchildren Moriah, Javan, Jaron, Brennen and Bailey. Gary was preceded in death by his wife, Ruby, his parents, and his sister, Joyce Hurlbert. Our humble and faithful father, grandfather and friend is once again reunited with his wife Ruby and in accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and no services will be held.

Complicated!

By Pastor Ray Sherwood

How complicated is complicated? Now that seems to be a loaded question doesn’t it? Well over the last four months all of our lives have become much more complicated. We are living in a world that hasn’t been seen or felt since maybe the 1960’s when protests were widespread over the US being in Vietnam and, yes, racial discrimination (hasn’t changed that much in 50+ years). The world seemed quite complicated back then but how much more complicated today! Our lives are being transitioned into something we thought would never happen in our lifetimes. Yet here we are trying to adjust to the prescribed social norms to keep us safe from the coronavirus. Each and every day of our lives

us, walking with us and helping us through those difficult, complicated life situations. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:4, “…who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” The word “troubles” literally means “under pressure” like stress and tension. (NIV) So we could really say it this way, “…who comforts us in all our [difficulties, complications, stress and tension], so that we can comfort those in any [difficulties, complications, stress and tension] with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” Know this…you and I are not walking this difficult and complicated road by ourselves, because God is with us. Hebrews 13:5b says, “…because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (NIV) Believe me when I tell you that no matter what you are facing today…God is there to help you through it! 1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (NIV) My prayer is that you will put your trust and cast you cares upon Him today because He really does care for you!

Guest Columnist: More Reform Proposed

By Lloyd Omdahl

North Dakota voters will once again be deciding whether or not the Board of Higher Education should be revamped to solve unidentified problems seen by the Legislature. For the 2014 election ballot, the Legislature proposed the outright abolition of the Board with replacement by three full-time commissioners. The idea was soundly trashed by the voters. Double Board Size In the upcoming November election, the Legislature is asking us to approve increasing the size of the board from seven to 14 plus a student representative. Within this 6-year period, many of the legislators who voted for the 3-commissioner system were on hand to vote for increasing the Board to 14. This raises the question of whether or not the Legislatures knows what it is looking for and the nature of the perceived problem may be. In studies comparing the effectiveness of the unicameral legislature in Georgia with bicameral bodies in 1830, the researchers considered the stability of legislature (frequency of later amendments) as a measure of performance.

In the case of the North Dakota legislature not knowing its mind on Board sizes, it appears that we have a stability problem that would question the competence of the Legislature. No Management Advice It is doubtful that the measure sponsors spent any time checking with management people to get advice on the impact of size on board conduct. None of the four management sources checked by this column recommended a 14-member board. After reviewing three board sizes (Less than eight; greater than 10; 8-10) Governance Today said that for “organizations that employ a CEO/Manager eight is the preferred number.” A study by Bain Capital Private Equity claimed that the optimal number to make a decision is seven and every additional board member decreases decision-making by 10 percent. Small Boards Collaborative In 2014, governance researchers from GMI Ratings studied boards for the Wall Street Journal and concluded that smaller boards were more collaborative, effective and efficient. Nicholas Price, summarizing the GMI research for Diligent Insights, pointed out the advantages of a small board: 1. Board members arrive better prepared. 2. A small board is more likely to act on poor performance of the chancellor. 3. Small boards spend less time in discussion and make faster decisions. 4. Board members are more committed, candid and engaged. 5. It is easier to prepare material

for seven than for 14. 6. It is easier to schedule meetings for seven than for 14. Board More Accountable 7. Board members assume greater ownership and accountability, being fewer in number. 8. A 7-member board can tackle issues in greater detail than 14 members. 9. Less chance of a dominant member swaying the Board into groupthink. 10. Meetings run more smoothly with fewer distractions and side discussions. 11. Meetings are less formal, facilitating full participation by all members. 12. Familiarity makes relationships more conducive to sense of common purpose. Research on governing boards of governmental units validates the points presented above. When city councils have more than seven members, they tend to break into factions. Legislative Axe Grinding It seems that the Legislature has a perennial axe it grinds with the Board of Higher Education, primarily to steal as much authority over higher education as it can. In Federalist 46, James Madison called it “drawing all power into its impetuous vortex.” In addition, the Legislature assumes that there is something wrong with the Board. This is an unfounded assumption. The only thing wrong with the Board is that it operates as a board. And that is what was intended from the beginning. The legislature needs to know its mind before submitting any more amendments on higher education.

Beef check off Referendum Enacted by Congress in 1985, the beef check off was approved by cattle producers voting in the initial referendum held in 1988. That was 32 years ago and it is the only time ranchers have had an opportunity to vote on the mandatory check off we are required to pay every time we sell cattle. Let that sink in. In the more than 30-year lifespan of the mandatory tax on our cattle the only chance weâ€™ve had to express our approval or disapproval of the $1 per head assessment was 18 months after collections began. The question all cattle producers should be asking themselves is this: has the check off increased returns to producers like you who are assessed? There can be no responsibility where there is no accountability. A referendum will provide accountability. The I-BAND board of directors fully supports the petition-drive currently underway that seeks a producer referendum on the beef check off. During the 1988 referendum, there were roughly one million potential cattle producer voters. It was reported that just 256,505 voted. Of those, 202,408 voted â€œyes.â€? Thus, the check off that producers have paid for more than three decades was approved by just 20 percent of all U.S. cattle producers in 1988. For the next seven years, beef check off proceeds was invested by the Beef Industry Council of the National Live Stock and Meat Board. Funneling the beef check off funds through the non-political Meat Board and insulating the check off from policy was the arrangement producers understood when they voted in the initial referendum. The Meat Boardâ€™s successes with the check off are often attributed to the check off being kept as distant from industry policy as humanly possible. But then the circumstances under which the beef check off was sold to producers in 1988 changed. In 1996, the National Cattlemenâ€™s Association merged with the National Live Stock and Meat Board creating the National Cattlemenâ€™s Beef Association (NCBA). The merger that moved the beef check off (that we pay) into the arms of a policy organization was fought long and hard by the National Live Stock and Meat Board because members rightfully feared the effect of politicizing the check off. In the end, the National Cattlemenâ€™s Association prevailed and the Meat Board reluctantly agreed to the merger by a single vote. The merger received final approval by just 774 voters present at the National Cattlemenâ€™s Associationâ€™s 1996 meeting. As check off-paying stakeholders we werenâ€™t told in 1988 that the beef check off would become part of a tangled web of bureaucracy where board seats would be part of a complicated pay-to-play scheme utilizing check off money to purchase those board seats. We werenâ€™t told that our check off would one day employ staff shared with a policy outfit where the check off would pay more than 70 percent of the policy organizationâ€™s total staff salaries including half of the chief executiveâ€™s lucrative employment deal. We werenâ€™t told that half of the 20-member Operating Committee, which controls the check off purse strings, would be appointed by a branch of NCBA. We werenâ€™t told that our check off dollars would not be allowed to promote our U.S. beef but would instead be used

to promote a generic product that includes foreign beef. We werenâ€™t told that the beef check off was really government speech, an argument USDA and the Cattlemenâ€™s Beef Board eagerly made when the constitutionality of commodity check offs was challenged in court. We werenâ€™t told that the majority contractor for our check off dollars, NCBA, would oppose country of origin labeling (COOL), going so far as to join Canada and Mexico in a lawsuit against COOL and lobby for repeal of COOL in the U.S. Congress. Sadly, cattle producers werenâ€™t told a lot of things. NCBA argued recently, as it has in the past, that a referendum would be too expensive and would cost an estimated $250,000. Based on the number of votes in the initial 1988 referendum, that pencils out to about one dollar per vote. This is the same NCBA that spent nearly $500,000 in check off money giving away traditional beef cut names to pork. When the cut name give-away deal was completed the Pork Board suggested publicly that retailers could exploit those names by riding the coattails of a reputation built by beef and beef alone and charge higher prices for a pork chop newly renamed a rib eye. Producers will hear in the coming days and weeks that the Beef Board conducts producer surveys on a regular basis and the Beef Board will argue that those surveys, which are weighted and stratified, are a sufficient replacement for a producer vote. We couldnâ€™t disagree more. There is NO replacement for our right to vote. After 32 years, itâ€™s time for a producer referendum on the beef check off. We are willing to live with the results as long as producers have a fair opportunity to express themselves. If itâ€™s true, as NCBA regularly argues, that 72 percent of Americaâ€™s cattle producers favor the beef check off, what does NCBA have to lose? All weâ€™re asking for is the right to vote. And thatâ€™s something that is as American as it gets.

Census Bureau Followup The U.S. Census Bureau has announced that it will begin following up with households in select areas that have not responded to the 2020 Census. The entire state of North Dakota is on the Nonresponse Follow-up (NRFU) list and will begin operations July 30. This means that Census workers (enumerators) will be physically visiting non-response households with the intent of getting them to fill out the Census. All other area census offices across the country are scheduled to begin follow-up work on Aug. 11. All offices will conclude work no later than Oct. 31. Households can still respond now by completing and mailing back the paper questionnaire they received, by responding online at 2020census.gov, or by phone at 844-330-2020. Households can also respond online or by phone in one of 13 languages and find assistance in many more. Those that respond will not need to be visited to obtain their census response. North Dakotaâ€™s self-response rate of 61.8 percent means that approximately 157,000 households have not responded and will need to be visited by a Census representative. Some important points about safety: â€˘All census takers are trained on social distancing protocols. â€˘Also, the U.S. Census Bureau provides masks and requires all census takers to wear them while conducting their work. 2020 Census interviews are quick â€“ just about ten minutes long and all surveys can be done six feet apart. â€˘The following steps should be taken to verify the identity of a census worker. 1. First, check to make sure that they have a valid ID badge, with their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark and an expiration date. 2. If someone has questions about an enumeratorâ€™s identity, they can contact the North Dakota state operations office to speak with a Census Bureau representative. That phone number is 701-5615508. North Dakota self-response rate at 61.9 Percent North Dakota is at 61.9 percent as of July 20 with 50.0 percent of respondents using the Internet. The nation is at 62.2 percent. Burleigh County continues to lead the way in North Dakota counties with 75.6 percent. Morton County is second at 69.7 percent. Census Bureau still looking for job applicants â€“ especially in western North Dakota In North Dakota, the U.S. Census Bureau needs additional applicants across the entire western part of the state and in counties that contain tribal lands.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been urged to protect themselves, their neighbors, and their loved ones amidst the worst global health crisis in generations. After months of physical distancing and staying at home, infections and deaths began to decline across our country. But in the weeks since states began reopening, some steps that were critical to the progress made were abandoned too quickly. We are now watching in real-time as a dramatic uptick in COVID-19 cases is erasing hard-won gains. In some states, hospitals are at or nearing their ICU capacity and shortages of personal protective equipment and testing supplies continue to pose a threat to health care workers and patients alike. While North Dakota is not a high spread state, we want to do everything possible to keep it that way. This is why as physicians, nurses, long term care administrators, hospital and health system leaders, we urge North Dakotans to take the simple steps we know will help stop the spread of the virus: wearing a face mask, maintaining physical distancing, and washing hands. We are not powerless in this public health crisis, and we can defeat it in the same way we defeated previous threats to public health— by allowing science and evidence to shape our decisions and inform our actions. There is a growing body of evidence that face masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19. One study shows the infection rate among employees at Mass General Brigham hospitals dropped significantly once all workers were required to wear facemasks. Another study in Missouri shows that wearing a facemask prevented the spread of infection from two hair stylists to their customers. Despite claims otherwise, the prolonged use of face masks when properly worn does not cause CO2 intoxication, oxygen deficiency, or any other harm to the wearer. Surgeons operate for hours wearing them. They don’t have problems. For those who have been waiting for more data before accepting the practice, these findings make it clear: Masks work. The toll of this pandemic is staggering, and it will take months, perhaps years, to truly understand its impact on our country and our way of life. But what is certain – and what the science and evidence tell us - is that COVID-19 is not behind us. Your actions are critical to stop the spread of COVID-19. We must remain vigilant and continue to take steps to mitigate the spread of the virus to protect each other and our loved ones. To those of you who are doing your part in helping turn the tide of this pandemic – thank you. There is only one way we will get through this – together. Your continued partners in health, Tim Blasl, President North Dakota Hospital Association Courtney Koebele, Executive Director North Dakota Medical Association Tessa Johnson, MSN, BSN, RN, CDP, North Dakota Nurses Association President Shelly Peterson, President North Dakota Long Term Care Association

The town of Marmarth and the surrounding area have two ambulances staffed by volunteers who provide emergency medical services. (Provided)

Rural EMS struggles By Sydney Hoover

ND Newspaper Association

Sarah Vaith said she never knows for sure what she’s walking into on a call with the Michigan, N.D., Area Ambulance Service. Before they are sent out on a call, the first responders in her squad receive information from dispatchers, who ask screening questions: anyone have a fever or other potential symptom of COVID-19? But there can be miscommunication or missing information. “The pandemic is a scary time for all of us,” Vaith said. “It’s scary for those of us in EMS because sometimes the communication isn’t there and doesn’t get to us, and then all of a sudden we find out we may have been exposed to somebody that has COVID.” Vaith, the service’s operations

manager, said if one of her volunteer EMTs was potentially exposed, they would have to quarantine until test results came back for the patient they treated. With a squad of only ten people, that could lead to a lack of staff to respond to calls. Rural volunteer emergency services across North Dakota say the fear of contracting the virus from responding to a call exists, but concern about losing individuals in an already thinning group of volunteers is even greater. Arlen Gartner, a volunteer for the Kenmare ambulance service with more than 40 years of experience, said the problem of low staffing has existed for several years. The pandemic has only exacerbated that. Gartner said when he first became a trained first responder at 19, the process to become certified was much easier than it is today. Carrie Roth, the squad leader for New Leipzig Ambulance, said people who would normally be interested in volunteering are less inclined now out of fear for their own health. She said regular volunteers on the squad have opted to sit out shifts based on doctor recommendations. Gartner, whose Kenmare Ambulance takes calls from sev-

eral surrounding counties, said his squad has not been affected financially because of the pandemic. But for Vaith, a decrease in calls has created an additional financial burden. She said that while the service is volunteer, they still rely on insurance and other payments for each call to maintain operations. Darren Welander of Rolla said his emergency ambulance service has maintained its financial stability throughout the pandemic, but it has seen a 25% decrease in calls. “I think some patients are just simply afraid to go to hospitals due to the amount of COVID cases in the larger cities,” Welander said. Rural ambulance services depend on insurance payments, local government contributions and donations, but funding has been a challenge for years. So has recruitment and retention of volunteers, according to Adam Parker of the North Dakota EMS Association, who spoke with Valley News Live last October. “As medicine has become more and more advanced, and the training requirements have increased, we’re putting a lot more demand on those people’s time – and it’s becoming less appealing to volunteer,” Parker

said then. “It’s becoming harder and harder for ambulance services to sustain themselves with volunteer labor.” Rebecca Bumgardner, a volunteer with Marmarth Ambulance Service, echoed those concerns last week, saying the global pandemic “throws a wrench into an already ongoing problem.” The pandemic has had impacts beyond when first responders are on call. Ginny Heth, president of the Westhope Ambulance Service, said her squad transported one patient who tested positive for the coronavirus, and after that, it seemed as if her community was scared of them. “We have all the personal protective equipment, and we know how to use it and we use it. So they don’t need to be afraid that I’m going to transmit something to them,” Heth said. “And we sanitize. I mean it’s unreal all the sanitizing we do.” Vaith said she hopes communities will keep in mind what life would be like without a local ambulance service to respond to their calls. And for Heth, more individuals willing to give some time as a volunteer first responder is always needed. “The need is still there. We still need to take care of our people,” Heth said. “It’s very difficult when it’s a volunteer service to start with, but it’s so important that we have that service locally, especially when we’re such a rural community.”

Youth Sheep Starter Pheasant population up or down? Flock Program For the 12th year, North Dakota State University Extension and the North Dakota Lamb and Wool Producers Association are offering North Dakota youth an opportunity to become involved in the sheep industry and build their own flock. Youth chosen for the Starter Flock Discounted Loan Program will receive an interest-free loan to purchase ten yearling Rambouillet ewes from the association. The association will buy the ewes from NDSU’s Hettinger Research Extension Center. “The ewes look better than ever,” says Dave Pearson, NDSU Hettinger REC shepherd. “These Wyoming-bred ewes are a great opportunity for young people to get involved in a growing sheep industry.” Youth receiving the ewes will be assigned a mentor, who will be available to answer the youths’ questions and help them with recordkeeping and setting management goals. The youth also have the option of arranging for a mentor on their own. “Over 100 young producers have taken advantage of the opportunity to learn about sheep, lamb and wool production in North Dakota during the past decade,” says Travis Hoffman, NDSU Extension sheep specialist. “Now is a great time for young sheep enthusiasts to receive a solid start of ten ewes with limited risk through a great loan program.” The youth must pay back 70% of the value of the ewes. The first payment is due by Nov. 1 of the second year the youth have the ewes. The youth have two more years to pay off the balance of the loan. To be eligible to receive ewes, youth must be 10 to 18 years old by Aug. 1 of the year they apply for a loan. Go to http://www.ndsheep.org for an application or more information about the loan program. Applications are due Aug. 15. Successful recipients will pick up their ewes at the Hettinger Research Extension Center tentatively on Sept. 19. They’ll also take part in a Beginning Shepherds Clinic, an educational program to help them get started with their flock. For more information, contact: •Luke Dukart at 701-214-2123 or lukedukart@yahoo.com •Hoffman at 701-231-2222 or travis.w.hoffman@ndsu.edu •Pearson at 701-928-1410 or dlcabpearson@ndsupernet. com •Wyman Scheetz at 701-220-4639 or mscheetz@westriv. com

North Dakota’s spring pheasant population index is up 15% from the same time last year. most population survey estimates. By Doug Leier “This was likely due to continued While my college transcript might indicate otherwise, I’ve always enjoyed declines in hunter numbers and hunter statistics. That’s about the most positive days afield following lower population spin I can put on my appreciation for trends,” he said. “We also still have numbers while giving credit to the con- lower densities of upland game birds in areas that traditionally had much of the fusion some figures can portray. Case in point: If you took the 2019 harvest – pheasant numbers were still pheasant hunting statistics at face val- low in the southwest and sharptail numue, you might think the pheasant numbers remained low in the badlands.” But numbers are just numbers, espebers were down. Our post-season survey showed about 50,000 pheasant hunters cially when you consider that some huntharvested 256,800 roosters (down 25%) ers only hunt the opening weekend of in 2019, compared to 59,400 hunters and pheasant season and a number of those folks didn’t venture afield during last 342,600 roosters in 2018. Jesse Kolar, North Dakota Game and fall’s opener because of nasty weather. Fish Department upland game manage- So, you need to factor that in. On top of that, North Dakota experiment supervisor, said the overall harvest was down despite slight increases in enced an extremely wet fall in 2019 and you could argue that pheasant numbers

were maybe much better than actual hunter harvest would indicate. It’s a long bridge I’m crossing to relate that this spring’s pheasant index is a snapshot of roosters that came through winter. Fact is, North Dakota’s spring pheasant population index is up 15% from the same time last year. R. J. Gross, Department upland game management biologist, said the number of roosters heard crowing this spring was up statewide, with increases ranging from 1% to 18% in the primary regions holding pheasants. Pheasant crowing counts are conducted each spring throughout North Dakota. Observers drive specified 20-mile routes, stop at predetermined intervals, and count the number of pheasant roosters heard crowing over a 2-minute period during the stop. The number of pheasant crows heard is compared to the previous year’s data, providing a trend summary. “We entered spring with a larger breeding population compared to last year,” he said. “Hens should be in good physical shape for nesting season and cover should be plentiful from the residual moisture left from last fall.” However, Gross had concern with drought conditions in the western part of the state, and insect availability to chicks during brood rearing. While the spring number is an indicator, Gross said it does not predict what the fall population will look like. Brood surveys, which begin in late July and are completed by September, provide a much better estimate of summer pheasant production and what hunters might expect for a fall pheasant population.

Bowman team splits doubleheader, heads to district playoffs Staff Report

The Hettinger/Scranton/Bowman/Lemmon Bears split a home doubleheader June 21, closing out their regular season before playing in the district playoff. The Bears finished the regular season with a 15-102 record and opened the playoffs Monday (July 27) in Beulah. The team is a comprised of players from Bowman, Hettinger, Scranton and Lemmon (SD). Bears take opener Jacob Svihovec opened the doubleheader by throwing a five-hitter in his 7-1 triumph over the Belfield/ South Heart Knights. Svihovec was aided by a six-run outburst in the second inning. The scoring barrage followed a run scored by Warrick Dilse on Tanner DeFoe’s RBI single which gave the hosts a 1-0 lead. But the second inning outburst started with a double by Ty Warbis and a single by Brendan Rasmussen. Connor Dilse hit into a fielder’s choice forcing Rasmussen to be out at second, but scoring Cade Warbis, who came in as a courtesy runner. Cam Wokal followed with an infield single that moved Connor Dilse to second, then scored on Svihovec’s double to left field.

Double dose of sizzle

Rhame, Scranton hold ‘Burgers in Park’

Bowman County was the place to be in mid-July, especially if people had a craving for thick, juicy and freshly grilled hamburgers. Both Rhame and Scranton held “Burgers in the Park” events at almost the same time, just one day apart. Rhame kicked off the hot grill first July 21 in Hutchison Park, drawing scores of hungry people to the shady tables set across from the shelter where the hot dish was being served up. A day later, it was the Scranton Lions doing the same thing at Murray Park, but also offering take-always and curbside service to the menu, while also stressing the need to follow the proper distancing and masking guidelines as set by the state because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hungry in Scranton could choose between a burger or a brat, but also if they wanted a meal also. The food was packed in Styrofoam containers for the people to pick up or to take home with the curbside service. Scranton will be continuing its Burgers in the Park on Aug. 5, 12, 19 and 26 at Murray Park from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
