n NDSU Extension projections don’t bode well for farmers, ranchers

Lower crop, livestock prices for 2016 The North Dakota State University Extension Service released this week its short- and long-term agricultural planning price projections for North Dakota.

The publication shows 2016 price projections for crops and livestock produced in the state and price estimates for future years.

Price projections are given for the major crop commodities: wheat, durum, oats, feed barley, malting barley, oil sunflowers, non-oil sunflowers, corn, soybeans, canola, flaxseed, winter wheat, dry beans,

dry peas, lentils, alfalfa hay and mixed hay.

Price projections for livestock and livestock products include beef steers and heifers at various weights, cull cows, slaughter steers, slaughter hogs, slaughter ewes, slaughter lambs, feeder lambs and milk.

The publication also provides historical prices as a reference.

“Crop and livestock prices are down from the previous year,” said Ron Haugen, extension farm economist. “The estimated short-

term planning prices should be used as a guide in setting price expectations for 2016 production.

These planning prices can be used for preparing annual enterprise budgets and annual whole-farm cash-flow projections.”

With tight margins this year, cash-flow projections are more critical than ever, he added.

“The short-term prices should not be used for planning capital purchases or expansion alternatives that would extend beyond the next production year,” he said.

Construction quickly progressing on new hospital Major demolition has changed the face of the south unit of the Southwest Healthcare Services Long Term Care over the past couple weeks as the facility’s expansion continues.

Mortenson Construction has completed all structural concrete foundations for the hospital and clinic.

Crews continue to excavate dirt along the long-term care building to provide room for foundation footings for the rehabilitation department, which includes physical therapy, occupational therapy and cardiac rehab.

SWHS has situated these departments between the clinic, hospital and long-term care.

Several semi-trucks brought in loads of structural steel just after Christmas to the construction site.

Mortenson plans to start setting the steel next week, and will continue through February and March.

A local business owner who allegedly assaulted his wife in October will face a jury trial after a judge ruled last week that there was sufficient evidence to move forward with the case.

Dominic Jaymes Heck, owner of Diamond H Service LLC in Bowman, pleaded not guilty in Southwest Judicial District Court to a Class C felony count of aggravated assault for an incident that allegedly occurred Oct. 6 in Rhame.

A Class C felony has a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

Heck, 35, has retained Diane Melbye of Dickinson as counsel.

Bowman County Sheriff Deputy Doug Langhoff stated in a court affidavit that on the afternoon of Oct. 7, 2015, he was called to the Southwest Healthcare Services Clinic in Bowman to investigate a case of domestic violence.

Former Southwest Healthcare physician Dr. Sherryl Tomboulian met with Langhoff and explained that Heck’s wife had come to the clinic because her hand was sore from an altercation with Heck the previous night, according to the affidavit.

Langhoff stated that the woman then explained the altercation took place in the driveway of their residence in Rhame.

The altercation reportedly began with Heck shoving and swearing at her.

State tax commissioner advises taxpayers on fraud, refunds Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger last week provided information to North Dakota’s individual income taxpayers about the upcoming tax filing season.

“Our office has been gearing up for the upcoming tax season with a considerable focus on combating tax fraud,” Rauschenberger said.

“The 2015 tax season saw a sizable increase in the amount of attempted tax fraud, and we are expecting 2016 to follow suit. We encourage taxpayers to file as early as possible to help prevent fraud.”

During the 2015 individual in-

come tax season, the Office of State Tax Commissioner stopped more than 900 returns claiming $1.3 million in fraudulent refunds. The increase in fraudulent activity led the Office of State Tax Commissioner to institute additional preventative measures, which have been modified and implemented for the 2016 tax season. These measures will result in slower refund processing time.

“We ask that taxpayers be patient when waiting for their refunds,” Rauschenberger added. “A slightly longer processing time is actually a good thing. We are taking the time to prevent North Dakota tax dollars from getting into the hands of fraudsters.”

Taxpayers may use the newly improved Where’s My Refund? tool to track their refunds. This tool has been recently revamped to include

IN BRIEF

SW Water board to meet in February The Southwest Water Authority Board of Directors meeting will be held Monday, Feb. 1, 2016, beginning at 9:00 a.m. MST. The meeting will be held at the Southwest Water Authority Operations and Maintenance Center Office in Dickinson.

Southwest Water Authority is governed by an elected 15-member board of directors representing 12 counties and the cities of Mandan and Dickinson located in southwest North Dakota. It was born in the North Dakota Legislature to provide for the supply and distribution of water for the future economic welfare of the people of southwestern North Dakota. The board meets monthly to discuss the management, operations, maintenance, progress and future planning of the Southwest Pipeline Project. For more information, or if you would like to be placed on the agenda, please contact Southwest Water Authority’s office at 701-225-0241 or toll free at 888-425-0241.

Millions in federal funds to go to coal mine reclamation Sen. John Hoeven, a member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced that the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) at the U.S. Department of Interior has made nearly $2.8 million available for coal mine reclamation projects in North Dakota. The funds are provided through the Abandoned Mine Land Fund, which is maintained in part through the per-ton fee levied on all coal produced in the U.S. “North Dakota has demonstrated time and again that we can produce more energy with better environmental stewardship,” Hoeven said. “Our state is continually recognized by federal authorities as having one of the best reclamation programs in the country. Today’s funds will help support our continued work to help meet the nation’s energy needs while also preserving our state’s land, water and air.”

Senator Hoeven continues to work through his role on the Senate Appropriations Committee to ensure that the Office of Surface Mining works with states to ensure water quality is protected without adversely impacting jobs and the economy. In response to the proposed Stream Protection Rule, the senator pressed Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management Janice Schneider last October to reject a one-size-fits-all approach to regulating mining activities. Hoeven urged Schneider to work with states to allow flexibility based on local factors, such as geography and reclamation practices, and secured a commitment from the assistant secretary to visit North Dakota to see the state’s environmental practices firsthand before finalizing the rule.

The new designs allow users to experience more of the Pioneer’s available graphics and photographs, accompanied by their related stories, right on the home page and provides greater ease of access to top news stories. The newly refined, streamlined design gives greater emphasis on the page’s daily content.

As a commitment to providing the latest news coverage, the Pioneer’s website is updated daily with new stories and breaking news.

While social media has helped advance the Pioneer’s wide reach, it’s equally important that readers pay attention to the paper’s website as that allows for a greater depth of news relay and plenty more multimedia content.

So, simply clicking “like” on the Pioneer’s Facebook page isn’t a guarantee that a person will be getting the full news coverage of the day.

2 elected to chamber board The Bowman County Area Chamber of Commerce added two community members to its board of directors during its membership meeting on Monday.

Bowman residents Beth Hendrickx, an employee of Dakota Western Bank, and Jennifer Wade, owner of Prairie Fitness in Bowman, were voted onto the board to fill two vacant positions. Both are three-year terms.

The board lost Chris Johnson, who chose not to run for another term, and Lori Nohner, who relocated to Minnesota earlier this month.

taxpayers to e-file. “E-file is the fastest and most secure way to file,” said Rauschenberger. “In 2015, more than 424,000, or nearly 86 percent, of North Dakota individual income taxpayers filed their income tax return electronically.”

The Office of State Tax Commissioner also revamped its online ND Free File tool to help taxpayers easily see if they qualify to file their federal and state returns for free with certain tax software companies. Taxpayers may also e-file by

purchasing tax preparation software, by working with a tax professional, or by using the Office of State Tax Commissioner’s stand-alone free ND Fillable Forms option (for ND return only). This filing season North Dakota, along with many state tax departments, is requesting driver license or state-issued identification card information for electronically filed tax returns. This is an additional effort to combat stolen-identity tax fraud and protect you and your tax refund.

“After telling him that he had no right to touch her or speak to her that way, the victim stated that the defendant (Heck) then picked her up, threw her to the ground and kicked her repeatedly in the ribs and thighs,” Langhoff stated in the affidavit.

The woman suffered a swollen and bruised right wrist, discoloration to the area of the right eye and bruising on her side, all the

The victim lost capability in her hand and was unable to write a statement for Langhoff, the report said.

Following his arrest in October, Heck was released on personal recognizance.

Scranton native kicks off political campaign

By BRYCE MARTIN

Petrick had children, her activity in politics was set aside.

“Now that they’re a little older, I just felt it was the right time for me to finally jump back in,” Petrick said of beginning her campaign.

Petrick was born in Bowman to Scott and Deborah Perkins, now Crawford, and lived in Scranton. She was the middle child of three.

The family relocated to Bowman when Petrick was 10. There she graduated high school in 1999, and subsequently left for college.

It was watching her parents working several jobs at once, and struggling to get by, which instilled a fire within her.

“We grew up really hard, not necessarily with a lot of money,” she said. “I thought when I get older … I wanted to take care of the most important thing to me, which is always my family. “(It) instilled a fire in all of us, to really work hard for what we wanted.”

And the sisters went on to experience great success.

Her older sister, Chelsea Berler, owns a successful public relations consulting business in Florida and younger sister, Alicia Kulseth, owns a booming salon in Mandan.

“I think Bowman is a great community but I attribute a lot of my family’s success to my family,” she said. “My family is extremely close and we really like to lift each other up and help when we can.

We’re hard workers.”

Jessica Petrick wants to fight for North Dakota, something she’s done since enlisting in the military and serving overseas to defend both the state and country as a whole.

She’s a Perkins, a talented, well-respected family hailing from Scranton and Bowman, and is the latest member of the family to take on a public role. But instead of music, as many of the Perkins’ are known for, she’s heading in a different direction.

Petrick announced her candidacy for District 34 State Representative last week, continuing her dedication to standing up for what matters most. District 34 covers the community of Mandan in central North Dakota.

“I’ve always been interested in making a difference,” Petrick said. “That’s just who I am.”

Petrick, 34, got a taste of politics while attending college at University of Mary in Bismarck. She began an internship with former Sen. Byron Dorgen, D-N.D., which she said piqued her interest in the world of government.

But in her final semester of college, Petrick, who was enlisted with the North Dakota Army National Guard for six years, was deployed overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and 2004.

BOWMAN CO. SCHOOLS

Funds from the generous free-will offerings from the Bowman Community Chorus Christmas 2015 Concert were distributed to music departments of the three area school music departments at a recent meeting of the Community Chorus Scholarship Committee.

Bowman County High School, Scranton High School, and Harding County High School received funds to promote music and to provide music camp scholarships to students wanting to further their musical skills.

A donation to Bowman Lutheran Church was given for allowing us to perform there for many years. The Bowman Dollars for Scholars who help every year with serving the lunches at the concerts also received

funding.

Area businesses have been very supportive of the Chorus for many years with the costs incurred each year and it is because of this support that the Chorus is able to promote music in the surrounding schools with these funding efforts.

Thank you to all involved in giving back to the community in this manner.

The Bowman Community Chorus is again offering a music scholarship to a full time college student entering at least their sophomore year and enrolled in a musical program, either in performing arts or music education.

Applicants should have a history of musical performance and community volunteering. The applicant must be a graduate

of Bowman County High School, Scranton High School, or Harding County High School. This scholarship is offered annually if there are applicants and the amount could be up to $500.00, depending on funds available. It is a onetime award to the recipient.

The Chorus is proud that three area students have received this scholarship in the past. They are Tiffany Krinke and Megan Case from Scranton High School and Harry Homelvig from Bowman County High School. Details of the college scholarship can be obtained by contacting the Bowman Community Chorus at 14902 86th ST SW or by calling 701-523-5426.

Applications must be filled out and returned by March 15.

Street light to be placed in front of Shopko, Ace plaza

By BRYCE MARTIN Pioneer Editor

The span of Highway 12 in front of Shopko and Ace Hardware has stood dark for many years. With the nearest streetlights being several yards to the west, it was often difficult finding the small driveway to turn into the retailers’ parking lots.

But that soon will change after Bowman City Commissioners voted to approve a measure during their regular meeting Tuesday that would add a street light at the location.

Bowman City Auditor Peggy Allen said she contacted Mon-

tana-Dakota Utilities who then relayed the welcomed news that it wouldn’t cost the city. Of course, the city would have to pay for the electricity used by light, but not for the light itself.

“I know it will certainly help light it up out there when people are turning,” said Bowman Police Chief Chuck Headley, who added that the current poor illumination at the spot hadn’t led to any car accidents he could recall. “We never really had any problems with that area.”

Instead, Headley said most of the accidents out there are located within the parking lots.

Donors included former state FFA officers, current FFA members, businesses, and individuals who chose to give jackets in memory FFA members and loved ones who’ve passed.

The program is designed to support FFA members by the donation of an official FFA jacket of their own.

Community Editorial

‘Only the facts’ about Reeder’s community center

The following is an informational letter for all the surrounding Reeder area as well as long distance DPECI (Dakota Prairie Enrichment Center, Inc.) members, patrons, donors, business owners, residents, and all who have an interest in our Dakota Prairie Enrichment Center, Inc. organization.

There have been questions, concerns, and confusion regarding the relationship between the city of Reeder and DPECI. In brief, I will try to explain how the relationship began in 1998 when DPECI was formed and the Reeder Public School closed in 2000. Following the closing, a community center was formed. Lodging was added several years later to the building. Back then, there were many local Reeder residents that wanted to see something great come from the school building rather than just closing the doors and letting the building sit vacant. So, with much interest, the DPECI organization was formed (note that we are a state affiliated 501(c)3 non-profit organization) with the understanding that we manage and maintain the building indefinitely. This was a mutual verbal agreement between both entities.

Many, many volunteer hours and hard work came with the formation of this organization and physically getting the community center where it is today. This happened with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Because our non-profit organization was not legally able to purchase the building, DPECI approached the city with a proposal to purchase the building for an under market value and they were able to do that for a purchase price of $37.50.

But then as of April, 2015, the city of Reeder made a motion to take on the management and maintenance of the community center for a year or until negotiations were agreed upon.

As of January, 2016, communication between DPECI and the city of Reeder is still ongoing. A final agreement is in a hopeful process but right now nothing has been presented to DPECI. Our mission statement has never wavered. It reads as follows: “The mission of the organization shall be to transition the former Reeder

Public School into a regional economic development, cultural and education center for the benefit of the region, to focus public attention on resources available and services that can be offered at the Reeder Public School facility, to receive and encourage gifts, endowments, and bequests to the organization, to support and cooperate with the communities in the region in developing resources and services for the region and to encourage economic development, cultural awareness, and education of all groups.”

As you see in the first line of the mission statement, we were to transition the former Reeder Public School.

That part of the mission statement has been accomplished. It is now a Lodging and Event Center. DPECI still has a lot to accomplish with the mission statement.

In this letter, we want to remind the DPECI members and also inform the local area public that we have a lot to offer the community center as well as the Reeder community and local surrounding areas. We do have a foundation fund established and are able to accept endowments. We want to continue to bring cultural events and educational possibilities into the area. We have yet to spread out to the regional areas and create more opportunities, which is still on our radar for the future.

If anyone has opportunities, suggestions, questions, or concerns, please contact a DPECI board member. We will be happy to hear what anyone has to offer. We have always welcomed opportunities to help the Reeder community flourish as well as try to extend opportunities, activities, events, etc., to our local and regional surrounding areas.

The following is a roster of our current DPECI board members: President: Della Christensen (rural Reeder/ Hettinger), Vice President Linda Verhulst (Reeder), Secretary Debbie Molbert (Reeder), Treasurer Nicole Sott (Hettinger), Directors Barney Nichols (Reeder), Ron Bugner (Reeder), Robert Verkaik (Reeder), Jill Anderson (Scranton)

A mild winter Hat Tips By DEAN MEYER For the Pioneer

The first thing I usually do in the morning is check the temperature and wind. And this winter, for most days, that has been a pleasurable experience.

Only a few days of minus degrees and most mornings the wind hasn’t been too bad. This morning the winds are very light and the temperature only a minus fourteen! As Bud Grant showed a week ago, shirt sleeve weather!

I have a foggy memory.

Maybe it’s the age. Or like that song, “Coulda been the whiskey, might have been the gin”. Not really, but I did like that song. I

don’t remember a winter with this nice of weather.

Looking at the forecast for the rest of the month, we stay above zero and only a slight chance of snow. No minus wind chills. No blizzards. High in the twenties and thirties and lows above zero! Makes you wonder why everyone loaded up and headed for Arizona and Florida!

I’ve a u-joint out on the feed pickup. It’s the front one so I figure until it snows more, or thaws more; I can get by with two-wheel drive. It makes it a little hard for Shirley to shovel because I can’t use low range. And bouncing over the frozen feed ground where the cows have been bedding down is pretty dang rough. She used to be able to handle it better. But with age, and having a desk job five days a week has taken its toll on her sense of balance. Thank God once in awhile we have a threeday weekend so she can

have a few days to shake the cobwebs off and get to ranching again!

Back in the day, when we would go to the river to cake cows, she was pretty dang good at it. I could holler at her to, “Hang on!

I’m going to take a run at that drift!” And she would grab onto that cab or the box and could ride that baby through anything. She could shovel off a ton of cake in a half hour without breaking a sweat.

Now, she kind of whines…

Well, actually, she screams because she is going to fall off if I don’t slow down.

Which I can’t do. I’m in first gear. And low range is out.

So she thinks she should drive! Really! She thinks she should drive! Now, how in the heck is a three hundred pound fat guy going to shovel cake over that rough ground? I mean that is the definition of mission impossible.

I guess it is like the guy

that was going across Montana on 94. He’s enjoying the scenery, listening to country music, and thinking about cows. That’s what ranchers think about when they are driving.

All of a sudden he looks in his mirror and there is a highway patrolman right behind him with the flashing lights on. The rancher quickly pulls over on the shoulder and the hp comes up.

“You forgot your wife in Miles City,” he explains.

“Thank God,” the rancher exclaimed! “I thought I had lost my hearing!”

Don’t mess around with Kurt That’s Life By TONY BENDER Guest Columnist

He was big. Kurt Smith was big and farm-boy strong, although he was a town kid, about three years older than me. I remember him lofting baseballs over the 385-foot center field fence in Frederick with yards to spare.

Kurt had an easy uppercut swing like Harmon Killebrew’s—he was built like Killebrew, too. Had it not been for rickety knees, he would have been a force on the football field.

After he graduated, Kurt became a cop in Aberdeen.

Legend has it, he became the go-to guy for domestic disputes. One look at that mountain of blue seemed to have a calming effect on

people.

When we were growing up, Kurt had a reputation for being a good guy. A nice kid from a nice family.

But I saw him put another behemoth on his back in 30 seconds in a dustup one afternoon uptown. You didn’t have to be some kind of genius to know he was not to be trifled with.

Of course, I was no genius. My mouth was bigger than my brain. When you add to the mix the “senioritis” all upperclassmen, including Kurt Smith, get, it was just a matter of time...

The first skirmish (more of a massacre, really) took place by the old skating rink across the street from the Brown County News.

I was walking home when Kurt and Doug Krueger appeared. A few banks of snow had survived in the shadows of a warm spring. Before you know it, snowballs flung from the two strongest arms on the baseball team whizzed past my head.

Like all good military

strategists, I quickly calculated the odds. And then I did something stupid. I called them a name, the worst name a teenage boy could be called, a euphemism for your pet cat. And I don’t mean “Fluffy.”

I made it halfway to Harold Schlosser’s barn before Krueger tackled me with Kurt lumbering behind. As I lay motionless on my back (although not for a lack of trying) among the dried cow pies, Kurt and I had a conversation.

I can’t remember it verbatim, but I think he was concerned about his hearing. Had I really said what he thought I had? I repeated it, enunciating carefully.

The next thing I remember was Kurt stuffing the crumbling, dry remnants of a cow pie into my mouth.

There wasn’t a darn thing I could do except chew.

Humility and I have long been acquainted, but let’s just say I haven’t always embraced the relationship.

It is my impression that,

from time to time, The Almighty likes to reintroduce us. Who knows, Kurt Smith may have been on a mission from God. They left me standing there, spitting cow turds.

The second episode took place in our looselysupervised study hall, just after Christmas break. Kurt sat in the seat behind me.

He’d come back from his vacation with a gleaming, gold pen and pencil set. You could tell he was enormously proud of it. Over the holiday, there had also been a relapse and his senioritis had flared up again.

I was reading. Probably nothing from the curriculum, but I do hold out the possibility I might have actually been reading a textbook. As soon as the supervisor left the room, I felt a jab in the back. And another.

I whirled around and glared at Kurt, who was grinning beatifically. No words were exchanged.

But, after I began reading again, he poked me again.

Tasha Pond, left, and Beau Jeffers, right, awarded grants to put toward the establishment or expansion of their supervised agricultural experience projects.

By BRAYDEN MILLER Bowman Co. FFA Reporter

Tasha Pond and Beau Jeffers of the Bowman County FFA Chapter and other ND FFA members from across the state were awarded grants of $500 to $1000 to put toward the establishment or expansion of their supervised agricultural experience projects (SAEs). $30,000 were given to ND FFA members for the SAE grants this year. Member’s applications were screened.

SAE grants were awarded by funds from the ND FFA Foundation to these students.

Funding for these grants was made available in 2006 when the ND FFA Foundation was gifted farmland from a trust set up by Fridjov Bakk over 20 years ago.

Funds generated from the farmland make possible the following awards: Beginning and Expansion SAE Grants, college scholarships for those going into production agriculture or agriculture education, and tuition grants for clients starting the ND Farm Business Man-

Grant funds will help students like Tasha and Beau expand their Supervised Agriculture Experience.

Tasha applied for the grant and received money in the area of Sheep Production to use towards the purchase of Texel sheep towards building up her current herd.

Tasha stated in her application “The future plans that I have for this SAE is to do daily chores with help of my parents and siblings. I will be going to shows, rodeos, 4-H, fair, going to sales barn, and internet searching to see what I would like to purchases. This relates to my career choice because I would like to go to college to be a vet. This offers per-

sonal growth by teaching me to work, be responsible and to manage money.” Tasha is a freshmen and the daughter of Tracy Pond and Jennifer Pond.

Beau applied for the grant and received money in the area of Agricultural Mechanics to use towards the purchase of materials and tools for his handcrafted pen making business. Beau stated in his application “My future plans for this SAE project are to run and manage a business of wood turning. I will turn and fabricate pens and other items on a lathe, and sell them. I buy a kit of the metal parts for the project I want to make, turn the main body of the project out of wood or other

materials, finish the piece I turned, assemble the kit, and then sell the finished item.” Beau a freshmen and is the son of Jonathan and Deanna Jeffers.

BOWMAN COUNTY PIONEER

Superbowl The Vikings Vine By JORDAN WRIGHT For the Pioneer

Once the Superbowl is over, this section will return to your regularly scheduled Vikings content. But until then, I will be giving you a recap of the NFL playoffs, the Pro Bowl and the Superbowl.

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs featured four great match ups between the remaining eight teams. In the NFC, you had Arizona versus Green Bay and Carolina versus Seattle, while the AFC brought us New England versus Kansas City and Pittsburgh versus Denver.

Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals Three weeks ago, Green Bay traveled to Arizona and suffered the worst loss of their season. In the divisional round of the playoffs, the Packers proved to be a different team than the one that was beaten 38-8. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led a furious fourth quarter comeback, eventually heaving a Hail Mary with five seconds left to Jeff Janis, who was pressed into action because of injuries. The touchdown tied the game, and it was off to overtime.

If the first four quarters were crazy, overtime proved to be no different. Before overtime even started, the referee was unable to get the coin to flip and had to re-do it. On the first play from scrimmage, Carson Palmer hit Minnesota native Larry Fitzgerald for a 75 yard gain.

With the ball on the five yard line, Palmer again got the ball to Fitzgerald who went into the end zone to seal the victory.

Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers If the Green Bay/Arizona game was a thriller, the first half of the Seahawks/ Panthers game was a snooze fest. Cam Newton and company put up 17 points, and the defense added two picksixes to make the score 31-0 going into halftime. Most fans watching, as well as the Carolina Panthers, thought the game would be over. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the Seahawks didn’t get that particular memo.

In the second half, the Seahawks looked like a completely different team.

Being down 31 points, Seattle elected to get quarterback Russell Wilson going instead of focusing on running back Marshawn Lynch. Seattle’s defense also turned it around, and after giving up 17 points in the first half, Seattle pitched a shutout in the second half.

With a 1:12 left on the clock in the fourth quarter, Seattle kicked a field goal that brought the score to 31-24, making it a one score game.

Carolina was able to recover the ensuing onside kick and close the game out, preventing what would have been one of the most improbable comebacks in NFL history.

Carolina will remain home and welcome in the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC Championship game, with the winner moving on to the Superbowl.

Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots The Chiefs came into the game riding the NFL’s longest win streak, winning their last 11 games (their last loss was to the Vikings,

week 6). On the flip side, New England was dealing with a multitude of injuries and had lost four of their last six games to end the regular season. Everything was pointing Kansas City’s way, but then they ran into Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

With Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski back, Tom Brady was looking like his old self. Kansas City has a tremendous defense, equally stout against both pass and run. But Coach Belichick must have seen something he could take advantage of, as he elected to drop back and throw 47 times, compared to only nine runs. In the end, New England won 27-20.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos Even though the Steelers were without their top receiver, top two running backs, and their quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was playing at less than 100 percent, they were still able to keep it close against the Denver Broncos. However, the Steelers ended up losing 23-16.

Peyton Manning was able to do just enough to keep the game close, and Denver’s defense was able to do the rest, keeping Pittsburgh’s high powered offense in the stable for most of the game. Denver is able to remain at home to prepare for the visiting New England Patriots and the two teams will play this weekend in the AFC Championship game. The winner of this week’s game will face either Carolina or Arizona in the Superbowl.

Random Vikings notes Minnesota chose to not bring back offensive line coach Jeff Davidson. Instead, the Vikings have hired former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano for Davidson’s vacated position.

Everson Griffen will replace J.J. Watt in the Pro Bowl. This is Everson’s first Pro Bowl, and he will join Adrian Peterson as the only representatives in Hawaii for the Purple and Gold, a travesty when considering Linval Joseph, Anthony Barr and Harrison Smith were all more than deserving.

Blair Walsh has received plenty of criticism for missing the 27-yard field goal that possibly would have sent the Vikings to the next round of the playoffs.

However, Walsh has also received plenty of support, sometimes coming from unusual places. First graders from Northpoint Elementary in Blaine, Minn., made and sent cards of support to Blair, who in turn visited the school.

Lady Night Hawks win first Region 7 game

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

The Night Hawks girls downed Richardton-Taylor to record their first Region 7 win on Jan. 14. They came into the game with a 0-3 region record.

The two JV teams started the evening off with the Night Hawks recording a 44-32 victory. The Night Hawks held a slim 12-11 edge after the first quarter but Richardton-Taylor held them to two points in the second quarter to take a 23-14 lead at halftime.

Substitutions played almost all the

second quarter for the Night Hawks.

The starters came back in the second half, and with their pressure defense held Richardton-Taylor to nine total points in the second half, while scoring 30 of their own.

The JV Night Hawks had eight players scoring with Briana Sanford leading the way with eight. I had Sanford and Justice Anderson leading the way in rebounds.

The Night Hawks varsity jumped out quickly to take a 15-5 lead after the first quarter and went into half time with a 29-16 advantage.

They played pressure defense and created numerous Richardton-Taylor

turnovers, which led to some easy buckets. But they also missed a few layups along the way.

Freshman Abbie Kludt led the team in rebounds, and more than likely in steals, while also tossing in 11 points. Sophomore Molly Holt paced the Night Hawks in scoring with 15, which included two 3-pointers.

Junior Taylor Hestekin also had a nice game, as she recorded 11 points.

Leading scorer for the Lady Raiders was senior Reagan Olson with eight.

The lady Night Hawks followed up their victory against Richardton-Taylor with a 78-49 win over Bison, S.D., on Jan. 16.

Wrestlers do well at Miles City tourney

By SHELDON CHRISTENSON For the Pioneer

The Hettinger Black Devils and the current Night Hawk wrestling team have been attending the Annual Cowboy Invitational at Miles City, Mont., for at least the last ten years. For this year, the 58th Cowboy Invitational, they had their highest finish by placing fourth out of 26 teams. Seventeen of the teams were from Montana, five

from Wyoming and four from North Dakota.

Standings for the other three North Dakota teams had Bismarck Century (fifth), Williston (16th) and Des LacsBurlington (19th).

I talked briefly with head coach Randy Burwick and he was very proud of his wrestlers, with six placing including two champions in Kyle Burwick at 113 and Colbey Steeke at 205. Jacob Schalesky also placed with

a sevnth-place finish, but his points could not count since Steeke was also in the 205 weight class and his points were counted.

Jacob Schalesky normally wrestles at 195 but Montana does not have a 195 weight class as they go from 182 to 205.

Coach Burwick also mentioned that three of his wrestlers, Carlos Martinez, Alec Andress and Logan Lachowitzer, were all one match away from getting into the placement matches.

REGION

FROM AROUND THE WORLD

West River Health welcomes Norwegian students different facilities around the state, which includes Hettinger. She also said that the program continues to grow in popularity, and applications are overflowing.

“Every year, more interest builds,” Olson said “I’ve got more people applying than we can accommodate.”

She said that one of the main reasons for the growing interest is the fact that

By COLE BENZ

For the Pioneer For the second time in program history, the University of North Dakota Department of Family and Community Medicine has facilitated two medical exchange students to Hettinger. In 2014 West River welcomed Mathias Thorvaldsen and May-Helen Håpnes for a six-week student exchange elective.

Linda Olson, an associate professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine with the UND School of Medicine, and Director of the Norwegian Medical Student Exchange Program, said the program was started in 2001, and the newest students are the 29th and 30th members to participate.

Børje Andre Cronbald Andersson (Narvik, Norway) and Krister Tyssen Johnson (Kristiansand, Norway) are both fifth year medical students in Norway and arrived in Hettinger on Jan. 18.

They have both been in the United States since Jan. 4 and were afforded some time to site see around the country.

So far, both have been pleasantly surprised with the warm welcome the community and hospital staff have given them, saying that in Europe the candor isn’t as personable as it is in America.

“It’s exciting to come here,” Johnson said.

“They’re (the community) very polite, and interested in you.”

The warm welcome has made them even more excited to meet more people from the area.

Andersson said he saw an advertisement for the exchange program on their medical school website. Curiosity got the best of him and he signed up, then he recruited Johnson.

Neither had been through an exchange program before, and decided that now was the right time, and both are ready for the adventure.

They will spend roughly five weeks in Hettinger, with most of their time being spent in Family Medicine, though both would gladly go to another department if another doctor requested their presence.

It is early in their medi-

the students get more oneon-one attention from the doctors. In Norway sometimes the ration between student and instructor is not very favorable.

After the five weeks are completed, both plan to do a more site seeing in the United States before returning to Norway.

Neither ruled out the possibility of working in America after their medical training was complete.

Andersson has two departments in mind—surgery or psychiatry—but both students said nothing is set in stone.

Aside from the medical training, both Johnson and Andersson are very interested in gaining an understanding of the American healthcare system.

The healthcare system in Norway differs greatly from the United States.

“I hope to learn some-

thing more about that (American healthcare system),” Andersson said.

Johnson echoed his sentiment, saying he would like to bring their knowledge back to their own country.

Olson said that the program has used up to four
